If you use EXL2K you should see the report formatting. If you use EXCEL you will only see column titles and column data.

Also, realize that HTML is NOT Excel. You will frequently have to adjust your formatting depending on the desired output type. They are NOT all created equal.

That being said, simple formatting in HTML should also appear in an Excel (EXL2K) spreadsheet. More complex stuff (column spanning, justification, etc.) maybe not.

Desired output

Report Name : XXX Run Date : yyyyy
Job Id : sssss Run time : 5464
Page : 1

Output acheived
Report Name : XXXRun Date : yyyyy
Job Id : sssssRun time : 5464

Any suggestions

Regards,

The only difference I see between Desired and Achieved is there is a space missing between 'XXXX' and 'Run' and between 'sssss' and 'Run'.

How are you placing this information in the report heading?

"Report Name : xxxx" -- it is an hard coded value.
after typing this i leave some space and then type Run date : <&DATEMDYY

Is there an option to o=put these wherever we want in the header

&DATEMDYY is an amper variable, not a field, so there is no need for the carat < on the left
