Improved Excel Format for Standard Reports (eg. Journals, Intercompany Reconciliation etc.)

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

When saving the Journal report in Excel format in 11.1, there are many redundant columns and rows. After we unmerge and unwrap the cells, alot of time is spent to tidy up the format before it can be used as compared to the 10.4.2 format.

    Hi Samantha, after further investigation with the lab. We can conclude that in fact it's not a defect, that was the only way to solve the huge alignment issues we had with the previous technology ( using Cognos Analytics) to render the report in Excel. Now with the Embedded report Library we have a correct alignment of the content . So in our opinion there is an improvement to what we had in 10.4.2. I agree that it created extra columns but that was needed to get this correct alignment ( see the attachment)

    Hi Max,

    But IBM support says that this is not defect but seems now it is, so which is the correct update to customer?

    Thank you.
    Regards,
    Samantha
