Información adicional

The documentation has been updated to remove XLSX file as a supported format for the Business Locator report as it is only supported in PDF format. https://developers.arcgis.com/python/latest/guide/part5-generate-reports/#available-reports

Solución alternativa

According to the example in the ArcGIS REST API documentation on the ArcGIS GeoEnrichment Service with the Create report method, when passing a geometry as a study area, it must have a format as shown in the following example: "geometry":{"x":-117.1956,"y":34.0572}}. For example, when passing in this [{"geometry":{"rings":[[[-117.185412,34.063170],[-122.81,37.81],[-117.200570,34.057196],[-117.185412,34.063170]]],"spatialReference":{"wkid":4326}},"attributes":{"id":"1","name":"optional polygon area name"}}] to study areas in the create_report() function, the excel file generated is readable.
