I have a birt report with excel output. I want to make the sheet direction right to left. I try to do this via adding new style, but the style just make the text in cells right to left, not the direction of excel sheets itself.

This is an unresolved issue in BIRT. The report orientation does not work for XLS/XLSX. It might be either because of the way BIRT transmits BIRT-elements into excel cells or simply because no XLS-transmitter supports the feature. However, it does at least work for PDF - if that helps.

Eventually, you might just want to recreate that report with the desired orientation. To "align" elements like a headline most-right, you usually create a grid with a number of colums that equals or exceeds the number of columns of the data table. Then you put the headline element in the right-most cell of that grid.

Hope you find a way!
