Title: Report in Excel format with protected cells
Post by: Sunchaser on 21 Jun 2017 11:45:18 AM

Hi all,

Every is in the subject: I've been asked if it is possible to create a report in excel format but with some cells automatically protected and some others not.
My feeling is that the answer is "no".

Does somebody have an idea?
Even something 100% perfect, any idea is welcome ...

Thanks,

Hi,
Answer is no unless you do a secondary process outside cognos.

Hi,

Thanks for the confirmation.
This is what I feared also, but it is "logic" from what I know from Cognos.
Well, let's see how we can announce that to the requester... ;)
