Adding XLSX output is on the ToDo list. However, it will likely not be included in RB 15 - we always have many more requested features than we can get to for any one release, but we keep working at it.
For the immediate future, you might evaluate Gnsotice EDocEngine for your needs. EDocEngine includes ReportBuilder integration and XLSX is on the list of supported output formats.
Out of interest, exactly what benefits (apart from advanced technicalities like being able to inspect the XML contents of a .XLSX file in Notepad) do you expect to get from being able to export in .XLSX format?
A client is asking, they use OnBase Document Management with M$/Office integration and then there is the M$/Office 2010 compatibility prompt every time they open a file. They can't seem to click the "Don't check compatibility" option.
I will just tell them to deal with it, or out put to text/csv and deal with that :-o

Sometimes we developers often fall into the same trap as our customers by fielding support questions in terms of the solutions we think we need rather than in terms of the problems we actually have and what we ultimately need to achieve. If I hadn't asked Tom to qualify his request then both of us probably wouldn't have got your useful reply. No slur on Tom....I also do it regularly
I have upgraded to 14.08 in XE3 but have not give the clients the new code yet, waiting on finally testing before the a new version goes out. I was just checking to see if there was some option/plan to take care of the XLSX format request. I will just tell them it's coming.

resolved. Excel can now open ReportBuilder XLS files with no warning.
Paul, we have had a couple of customers asking for XLSX because it is not
limited to 65,000 rows.
