Which item must be added to an XLBook to enable Excel export functionality?

• A. PDF book
• B. Report
• C. File items
• D. Excel export item

Answer: (D)

To enable Excel export from an XLBook, you need the Excel export item. This item is the bridge between OneStream data and the Excel workbook, specifying what data to export, how it should appear in the worksheet, and how Excel retrieves it. Without this item, the XLBook won’t export to Excel. The other options don’t activate Excel export—they serve different roles (PDF publication, general reporting, or generic file assets). Adding the Excel export item is what enables the export capability.
