Exporting a report to Microsoft Excel

When you have a report open, you can choose to export the entire report or a specified set of pages to Microsoft Excel format.

If you export a crosstab report to Excel, the appearance of the crosstab report in Excel can differ from the DHTML report. For example, the width of a column in the Excel spreadsheet can be narrower than in the crosstab report.

How to export a report to Excel

2. On Download, complete the following tasks:

1. In Export Report To, select one of the following options:

• To export numbers with their data type set to String, select Excel Display, as shown in Figure 2. Using this option does not display Excel row and column headings in the exported report.
