When a Quick Report is exported to MS Excel (whether a stock report or one created by the customer), it is not in a clean Excel format. For example, data includes page breaks, extra rows between page breaks, and data does not start in cell A1 (ex: Employees~by Last Name), i.e. is not in a table-friendly format.
Please have Quick Reports export cleanly (in a table-friendly format) to MS Excel.
This would benefit everyone, especially those that use MS Excel in their offices.

For amplifying detail, after having watched some of the SageU training on modifying reports and forms:
There are many times when just the data is needed (tables and rows), in that how the report/form appears on a printed page does not matter. Example: an expanded Employee List with 40 columns. Just want the data, in Excel, clean (40 columns, X number of rows, no page breaks).
Thank you.
I couldn't agree more with this request. Downloading most reports to Excel from Sage requires quite a bit of work to get a finished product.
