Title: Excel ouput
Post by: SGD on 07 Oct 2011 01:18:14 AM
Hi,

Can we control formatting of a report using SDK while exporting it in excel format? Since
formatting is lost when a report is exported in excel format.

We are using Congos 8.4.1

Control formatting while exporting?
You can run a report via the SDK and export it in different formats... in which you have the control of choosing.
You can also run the report via Mashups, get it back in XML (for example), and transform it into a custom format.

I am not sure exactly what and where you are wanting to take control... but the answer is yes.
... unless you are talking about exporting saved output versions.
