Hi,
I have a report that uses some grouping to show titles and totals in it. It works great in PDF, however, in Excel it seems to ignore the instructions to merge cells and also to merge sheets. I end up with merged cells if no data output to them (I can get around this by putting in (unknown) or something like this to get around it), but it also splits the data up into sheets, and in a seemingly random manner (ie. grouping A and part of B will be on sheet 1, grouping B is continued on sheet 2...). When running the report to Excel, we set the following properties:
CALL fgl_report_configureXLSXDevice (NULL, -- fromPage
NULL, -- toPage
FALSE, -- removeWhitespace
NULL, -- ignoreRowAlignment
NULL, -- ignoreColumnAlignment
NULL, -- removeBackgroundImages
TRUE -- mergePages
)
CALL fgl_report_setXLSXMergeCells(FALSE)
and this does work most of the time, but this might be the first time we try it with groupings though.
I have attached a screenshot of my report structure as well. Does anyone know any way to get around the sheet splitting issue? Also, is there something with using groupings that prevents XLSX output to behave properly?
Thanks,
Michael Laporte
