Conditional Formatting Gone when Exporting to XLS

Tal Mickel shared this problem 6 years ago
Resolved

Hey,


The "Conditional Formatting" menu under "Style" - contains an option to choose a Bar to show a progression bar that complies with a percentage from total / max.


When we're trying to export a report that has a conditional formatting with the Bar style, the bar's disappear and raw data appears instead.


Please see photos below.


Thanks

Dor & Tal

Hi Dor/Tal,

I have since tested this within the latest 7.2 20170404 and I can't replicate this issue when exporting to the following file format:


DOCX

PDF

XLSX


Please see that below image showing this along with the attached documents to support that this worked;

Going forward with this can you confirm what version/build you used? I look forward to your reply.

Hey Mark!


Our build is 7.2 20170202.

However we noticed that you used the "Cell" option in the conditional formatting, not 'Bar', and we confused with the data fields. The field should contain one of the metrics from "Athlete Payment" that sums volume in order for the Bar option to show up.


Please see the screenshot below for reference.

Hi Tal,

Apologies for this.

I have since tested this using the options of "Bar" and I get the same results. See image below:

Going forward I need to have this confirmed with the Devs to see if this is expected behaviour (limitation) or indeed a Bug as we are aware from using "Cell" this works.

Mark

Hi Tal,

I hope all is well,

I have since heard back from our dev team and they have informed me of the following:

This is a limitation, bar formatting is ignored in XLSX because when it was written there was no way to partially shade a cell in excel, making the bar formats useless.

The easiest thing to do is the change it so that bar formatting isn't completely ignored but is instead treated like like cell formatting.

Sorry for bringing this news to you Tal. Let me know of your views on this. I look forward to your reply.

Mark

Can the process of partially color the cell can be process on an external server, then from there send the file later for download ? Maybe we can switch this topic to an idea..


Thanks

Hi Tal,

Thank you for updating me with the direction you would like to take this after reading that this is indeed a limitation... I think going forwards this would be great as an Idea;

Can the process of partially colour the cell can be process on an external server, then from there send the file later for download?

Would you like me to raise this as an Idea or would you be happy doing this? I can then link the Idea back to this "problem" topic. I look forward to your reply.

Mark
