Hi all,
I followed previous discussions about reporting in Ofbiz.
There were some stuff so that third-party report could work with ofbiz.
This is a list with links or comments:

JasperReport (usage deprecated)
http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBIZ/Open+Source+Projects+and+Standards

BIRT: (doesn't use entity Engine)
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-1348 

DataVision: (there are imported classes in Ofbiz)
http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBIZ/Open+Source+Projects+and+Standards


Now I'm selecting data through the Entity Engine and by JFreeChart I'm
generating graphics using  a ChartViewHandler class.

To export ListForm to pdf I'm using XSLT:FO  (FOP) Look at

http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBIZ/FAQ+-+Tips+-+Tricks+-+Cookbook+-+HowTo#FAQ-Tips-Tricks-Cookbook-HowTo-XSLFO

To export to excel or xml I'm following this advice:
http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBIZ/Export+to+Excel

I want to make it clear first that I  would  always like to use entity
engine.

My two questions are:
Why DataVision? Is it useful? Who can provide me an example?

I have problems with excel format, is there a way that allows me to create
an real excel file and not a xml file?   

Hoping it might be helpful, 
thank you for future explanations.
