I exported a custom report to Excel but it is all zeros. It does not bring numbers. The same report exported to PDF perfectly.

In Excel, the format of the report matches the report online. All the categories and classes are there, and the format is the same, it's just that instead of my values, there are zeros.

    I can share some information regarding this, TStruss.

     

    Since you mentioned that the Enable Editing button is unavailable, it's best to check the Protected View settings and ensure the options are appropriately set. You can consider disabling the Protected View for files originating from the internet or other locations if you trust the source.

     

    On the other hand, if it contains a Save a copy button, you can click it since there are instances when the downloaded content from the web can be in a read-only state.
