Appian Community and Appian Academy are being upgraded. As a part of the upgrade, Appian Community is currently in read-only mode, and user registration is disabled until August 3. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but a more secure, stable, and performant Community experience is coming soon!
The new Appian Community launches August 3, followed by Appian Academy on August 7. During the migration, Appian Community Edition, Appian Academy, Documentation, Certifications, Instructor-led Customer Training, Partner Sales Training & Accreditation, and Forum (for Appian Partners and Customers only) will remain available.
Our client has transitioned from Microsoft to Google Workspace and no longer provides Microsoft licenses, meaning end users can no longer open the .xlsx files generated by our current Excel Tools v2.10 implementation. We need to convert our data export functionality to a format native to Google so users can access their reports without needing Excel. What is the recommended workaround to replace the Excel tools plugin smart service? We are looking for an alternative that avoids physical Excel files entirely to ensure a seamless experience for our users.

As far as I am aware, google workspace fully supports viewing and editing of xlsx files. Can you please check on that. Or CSV could be an option.
I support this. Google Workspace supports Excel files.
Currently, our export functionality has a download link of the excel document. In order to open you need to have Microsoft Excel on your machine. I wanted to know what's the alternative for google and best practices for implementing this.
You might be able to directly create the export spreadsheet file in Google and provide the link to the user.
