Downloading a reports prompts

I have a report which prompts a user for values; after report runs, the report is downloaded into Excel. Question: is there anyway to download these prompts w/ the rest of the report to Excel?

It depends on how you’re doing your download…if you are doing a select all, copy, paste…yes! You would just have to display those prompts in the report and they will paste into Excel with the rest.
