Cognos for Office Excel Import new option for Excel Data only

In Cognos Web UI you can export any report with the Option "Excel Data". If you choose this option the export doesn't take any formatting option or grouping option from the report.

In Cognos for Office Excel Add-In you can choose the option "Ingnore Format". But the Excel Add-In take any sum/count etc. results of the grouping in the report.

    Hi Florian,

    The 'Ignore format' option in Cognos for Microsoft Office is supposed to only remove formatting characteristics such as cell color and number formatting applied to the original report. However, if this request receives continued customer interest expanding scope of the feature may be reconsidered.
