In 4.3.6 the SortBy Column title and the Across Values would display on the same row when output was EXCEL. Now that we've converted to 5.3.3, the Across Values display on Row 1, the SortBy Column title displays on Row 2 and the data values start on Row 3 when output is EXL2K. (Excel95 and Excel97 outputs are REALLY bad).
Does anyone have any tricks (or style sheet suggestions) that would let me get the SortBy column title and Across values to display on the same Excel row in EXL2K?
Thanks,
Deb

FYI, we ended up removing the column titles from our report using the AS phrase (BY part AS '' ACROSS location AS ''). This allowed us to keep the ACROSS values on the first line in Excel and the data values starting on line two of Excel (so formulas/macros would continue working correctly). I love answering my own posts!

I have a similar issue. My company is on 5.2.7 and I'm finding that groupings fall out when output to Excel95...is this a limitation of the version I'm on or is there a fix/work around?

The 4.3.6 behavior was a bug: If the ACROSS values and column titles are on the same line, you would have nowhere to put the column titles of the verb objects if there's more than one verb object.

Here's what the 4.3.6 output looks like for "SUM RC DC ACROSS SEATS BY COUNTRY". Note that there are no titles for RC and DC, so you don't know what the columns mean.
