I have a report that exports into a excel document on subscription. The problem I'm having is that some of cells have merged on the export making the spreadsheet impossible to use!

Is there a way of unmerging these fields on the export?

Cheers

Merged?
Can you explain to that even we who donn't have direct access to your excelfiles can understand what you mean with merge?

Hello,
To avoid Merging Cells in Excel.

Report Definition Language Supports different measurements for the position and size of the cells. But internally the Excel format wants everything to be in points.One inch is 72 points.

So Better to use Points(pt) instead of inches(in) for the cell size and Location.

Hope this Helps.
