save the report excel feature

building reports desktopintelligence

Hi,

We have a requirement that all our users are used to seeing their reports in excel and would continue to want the same inspite of the reports being created in Business Objects.

I do not find much help in saving the reports in excel format for the users.

Does Business Objects support this and can I then format my excel to my use and then does it do a good job of saving the contents exactly like the reports or are there formatting issues?

All help is appreciated.

Thanks

Hi, ABV. This question has been discussed many times in the past.

Did you try looking in our Reporter FAQ? Does that answer your question?

Or, did you try doing a Search here on BOB?

One answer is to upgrade to version 6, where the ability to save as Excel is built right into the product. Otherwise Anita’s suggestions are good ones. 8)
