Currently reports do not export well for use on an excel sheet; headers have to be deleted from each page, empty columns and rows deleted, and the format of most cells needs to be retrieved using formula.
It would be most beneficial to have the report export directly to an excel sheet.
In lieu of this, have the export into text be just columns of data with the report miscellaneous information once at the top of the document.
Having the option to export this as a csv or txt would help with this. The file extension .rep is no use to go straight to Excel. I agree with the above post currently so much mucking arround to get basic data accross, ou could accidently loose something. If it worked well it would be a slick and impressive feature, as it is though it is s*** and depressive!
