When exporting snapshot from IBM to Excel the first sheet is not named correctly

When exporting snapshot from IBM applications to Excel and the report has multiple sheets, the first sheet is not named (appended), rather the first sheet is the sheet "as-is" that the user sees in TM1 Web / PAW Websheets and thus does not get renamed.  However all the other sheets do, so this is inconsistent.

Based on explanation from IBM rep, all of the other sheets get the element appended to them as they are auto-generated and not what the user was directly working on.  And this is as-designed.

However, this is inconsistent behavior throughout the file and I request an improvement for this in future upgrades.

    This behaviour occurs when exporting with looping via a synchronized dimension. The original worksheet is duplicated and renamed and receives the corresponding dimension entry in the sheet name. Renaming the sheets in the exported file should be harmless if the export is a snapshot. In this case, all links between the sheets will be lost anyway. You could also let the user decide whether all sheets should be renamed or not (check-box)
