Crystal Reports to Excel

We have been using Crystal Report within our company for several months now with excellent results.    We are also using the Datalink viewer on many of our employees desktops.

Our weak link is exporting these reports into Excel.     Lots of extra columns and rows are inserted during the export and columns and rows  just don't line up well.   Are there any tools out there that would do that better?

I just need to do the export myself at this point, so Datalink isn't involved.   I was able to export it to a CSV and then to Excel which work great except it ignored any fields I brought in via subreports.  I'm trying to get up to speed on shared variables and bring those into the main report and see if that works better.

I reworked the report to use shared variables from the subreport and then exported to a CSV.   I then opened the CSV in Excel and it worked prefect.

Thanks,
Crystal Reports
Crystal Reports

Crystal Reports is a business intelligence application from SAP SE. It is used to graphically design data connections and report layouts from a wide range of data sources including Excel spreadsheets, Oracle, SQL Server databases and Access databases, BusinessObjects Enterprise business views, and local file-system information. Report designers can place fields from these sources on the report design surface, and can also deploy them in custom formulas (using either BASIC or Crystal's own syntax), which are then placed on the design surface. Crystal Reports also supports subreports, graphing, and a limited amount of GIS functionality.
