Why was formatting removed from Export to Excel when exporting from PWA 2013?

We have recently moved from using Project Server 2007 to Project Server 2013 and one thing that we have noticed is that when we Export to Excel all the formatting has been removed and all the task grouping and alignment has been flatted. 
Why did Microsoft remove this feature from the Project Server 2013?
Is there an easy way for anywhere there is an Export to Excel option on the Ribbon to add the formatting back?
What is the best solution to still retain the indents, bolding, and grouping?

Jason --
I can confirm your findings with exporting PWA pages in Project Server 2013 to Excel.  As to why Microsoft removed the feature previously found in Project Server 2007, I have no idea, as I do not work for Microsoft.  I do not believe there is any
way to force the Export to Excel feature to work the same in 2013 as it did in 2007.  I think it will be up to the user to format the exported Excel workbook as needed.  Hope this helps.

  • HT2623 Why was I forced to move to iCloud, when MobileMe has not been removed?

    Why was I prompted to move to iCloud when MobileMe is still functioning and asking me to subscribe to the site? Am I the only one who is confused?
    Etela

    MobileMe isn't still functioning - it's completely closed. You should go to System Preferences>MobileMe>iDisk and stop iDisk syncing if it is running; go to the sync pane and stop any syncing, then go to the Account pane and sign out, otherwise you will get these error messages.
    If you have not migrated your MobileMe account to iCloud it is now too late to do so, and the entire contents of the account have been deleted, emails and iDisk included.
    Your signature says you have 10.6.2 - is this correct? You cannot access iCloud on Snow Leopard - Lion 10.7.2 is the minimum requirement.

  • I want to remove the header and footer when printing from my mac, i can do this in the Page Setup on my PC but not on the Mac. I can do it each time I print but then it resets. How do I make a universal change?

    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Go to the "File" menu, then "Print." The window that appears will have three drop-down menus at the top.
    The first is labeled "Printer",
    The second is "Presets".
    The third is unlabeled but has "Copies & Pages" selected by default.
    Click on that third menu and select "Firefox" near the bottom of the list.

  • I pre order Iphone 6 this morning. Why was I charged a $30 upgrade fee when I havent been in a contract for almost 2 years? Also will they divide the price of the device over several bills like they have for me in the past?

    I pre order Iphone 6 this morning. Why was I charged a $30 upgrade fee when I havent been in a contract for almost 2 years? Also will they divide the price of the device over several bills like they have for me in the past?

        Hi there nursegrl02! We can help here with your questions regarding the upgrade fee and device charge. The upgrade fee is a one time fee that is applied when upgrading with a 2-year contract. If you pre-order with a two-year contract, you would need to add a credit card to your order as you will be charged for the device once it ships out. If you happen to purchase the iPhone with Verizon Edge, there is no upgrade fee. You will also be billed for the device in installments. You may have to pay a down payment with Edge.  Go to vzw.com/edge for more information.
    Did you upgrade with Verizon Edge or our Device payment plan in the past? If so, that is most likely why you were not charged an upgrade fee.
    Let us know if you have further questions.
    Thank you,

  • Getting Export Controller Error When Exporting MPEG2 to High boardband & up

    I just got QuickTime Pro and MPEG 2 Playback for Windows. I am getting an Export Controller Error When Exporting MPEG2 to High boardband or to the default settings. The file I am exporting is around 60 MB and when it gets to about 15%, the program errors. However, the program works for Medium and low Board band. If anybody has a solution for my problem, I would love to know.
    Thanks!

    Not sure if this is going to work, but it worked for me. After exporting the movie and I got the error, I noticed that the process "exportController" was still running, so I stopped it from the task manager and am not sure but apperantly that was the problem because once I did that the file open up fine in other players like Winamp. Also after stopping the process the following exports I did seemed to be exported fine without any errors !... worth a shot.

  • Why was RSSI removed from iOS4?

    It appears that the Field Test Mode has been removed from iOS4 which also prevents owners from accessing their RSSI levels. The RSSI level provides a much better indication of the cellular wireless service signal strength than the signal strength bars. Why has this feature been removed from my 3G phone with iOS4, and is there a better way to monitor signal strength that will not use bars that work on a faulty algorithm?

    If you developed a phone that had "signal strength issues" that you were blaming on a mis-calibrated "bars" display, would you want to have a direct signal strength display as well, letting users verify that claim for themselves?

  • Exporting to Excel when subreports exist

    Hi SAP,
    I have a main report along with 2 subreports.  When I export to Excel the rows and columns are all thrown off.  One is on top of the other, etc.  What can I do to export the records that will display exactly as they appear when viewing from Crystal?
    Thanks in advance,
    Z

    I tried your recommendation and it didn't do much as far as correcting the export records.  I was able to get the records aligned after shrinking each section in the subreports and main report.  I also noticed that if a field overlaps with another field in the main report or within the subreports it causes the export to be disordered.  Once I was able to align each field without having them overlap I was able to get the records to export normally.
    Thanks for your recommendation nevertheless.

  • ALV List export to Excel when program is run in background

    Hello,
    I am running into an issue with a custom ALV report which contains an export to Excel option on the input screen. However, when I attempt to run the report in background due to high volume of records/expected performance constraints, the job fails to produce a spool when the "export to Excel" option is selected. When I deselect that option, the background job successfully generates a spool, which I can then export to Excel (albeit the formatting will not look the same).
    Is the above an accurate statement or does anyone know of a way where either;
    1) The background job can create and store the Excel output into a cached directory?
    2) The spool generated, when exported to Excel, can match the format of the foreground Excel output?
    Thanks in advancce.

  • Problem exporting to excel when using embedded web templates through WAD

    Using web templates designed with WAD, we are experiencing an issue when trying to export excel when using embedded web templates. 
    We have set up tabstrips within our templates that load other templates (embedded into the global template). 
    Upon right clicking on any query and choosing "Export to Excel", any query that is in one of the tabs using the embedded web template item does not show up.  Any queries in natively in the global web template will export and show up fine.
    Any thoughts on how to enable something like this, or workarounds to make this work?  We decided to split up these templates for performance reasons and can't go back from that decision.  Also let me know if you need a better explanation of what we're trying to do.
    Thanks in advance!
    Jonathan

    Hi SDBI,
    Is this in place of loading a new template per tab?  We are using container layouts in all of our templates so we can link things into tabstrips as well, we have just split up some templates to be embedded into tabs for performance reasons and data locking.
    Also when exporting, we are looking for all of the items displayed at that time to be exported, however only the items from the global template show up, not all of the displayed queries.  For example, anything outside of the tabstrip will export perfectly, but since the query embedded into the template the tabstrip is loading is not part of the native web template, it does not show up.
    Seems like a tool limitation to me when embedding templates?
    Thanks,
    Jon

  • Why do I get white lines surrounding transparencies when exported as a PDF for print - Indesign Vers

    Why do I get white lines surrounding PSD or Tiff transparencies when exported as a PDF for print - Indesign Version 9.2?
    I recently upgraded creative suite - now I am having issues with white lines surrounding any tiffs or PSDs when exporting for print.
    I initially thought it was an acrobat viewer problem, but it seems to be effecting print. Please let me know if anyone knows the answer to this problem. thanks!

    PDF settings? Flattener settings? Overprint and trapping settings? You need to be much more specific. Eitehr way, ask in the ID forum.

  • Title not getting exported to excel when i use ALV oops.

    Hi Friends,
               I have split the container and used cl_dd_document to display my Title data in TOP of page ( Container 1 ) and displayed my table data in the second container. I'm getting the output perfectly but when i try to export to the excel sheet, only table data ( i.e data in Container 2 ) is getting downloaded. i'm not able to bring the title ( Container 1 ) details in the excel while exporting . pls help. .
    Note : I also want the title details to be displayed when i click on the print button.
    I dont get this problem when i use REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE but in my senario i cant even use this FM as it doesn't supports more than 60 characters.

    Since you have two different container for Header & ALV data, the buttons on ALV grid ONLY will only consider the data within itself.
    To be able to download header and data both, you need to add additional buttons to either PF-status or ALV and write a code to do that.

  • Page items do not go into Excel when exporting

    We are using 10.1.2 viewer and plus (and I have the desktop version available). I have tried exporting a worksheet with page items using all 3 of the above and the page items will not go into excel. Is there any trick to get this to work? I thought that it used to work in older versions?
    thanks
    Angie

    Did you try the Export to Excel as Pivot Table option? That would create a base sheet with all the page items flattened out, a static sheet that looks like the worksheet at the time of the export, and an Excel Pivot Table where you can page through the page items.
    thanks

  • Exported pdf from indesign drops punctuation when printed from adobe reader

    The pdf prints fine when printed from acrobat pro, but depending on the export pdf settings from indesign, it will drop most numbers and punctuation when printed from adobe reader.

    Is Adobe Reader installed on the same computer Adobe Acrobat is?

  • Why do the pictures/slides look less desirable when exporting to quicktime?

    When exporting my slide show to quicktime, or even when exporting the slides as images and importing to imovie, why do they look grainy and pixelated?

    everything in iMovie looks grainy, because it's only showing a preview of your movie, not the full quality image. In order to preview correctly in iMovie you have to connect a firewire camera to it, then connect a TV to the camera and turn on the preview function in the iMovie prefs.
