It is great that now we are able to export data in xlsx format. Thanks Anaplan Team! It would be helpful to have xlsx as the default format when manually exporting data from the system. Current default format is .xls.

    This would be a nice change, more user friendly and easy to implement!

    We had the default export format modified from .xls to .csv on our models (an incident is in progress)...

    Case Number: 00419405

    Case Subject: Anaplan : Export on .csv by default

    So it seems that it is possible to have the default format changed and instead request the .xlsx format?
    It would be good to have the admin option to change this setting for a model...

    Yes, Please allow either Workspace admin or each user to change their desired file type in Export Format. Received complain about switching to .csv format. It would take additional steps every time user will choose to export files in xlsx. Majority of my model users preferred (and using) "xlsx" or "xls".
