Working with Download as Excel

When downloading a report to Excel, a new Excel workbook will be created. If "Print All Selections" is enabled for one or more of the report’s POV dimensions, each printable page will generate a separate worksheet for each member combination of the report.

Note: The worksheet names will reflect the report name followed by the first POV dimension with "Print All Selections" , truncating the sheet name as needed to meet Excel’s 31 character limit.

Note: Report text boxes may appear distorted or with overlapping text when importing or exporting to Excel when the fonts used within the text boxes are not installed on the client machine. To fix this, install the missing fonts used within the text boxes on the client machine.

For information on differences between Reports and Reports rendered in Excel, see Differences between Reports and Reports Imported in Excel in Designing with Reports for Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud .

The maximum number of rows and columns supported by Excel in a worksheet is 1,048,576 rows and 16,384 columns. Exporting a report to Excel can result in an error if the limit is exceeded.
