Use Excel to display screen reports
The Use Excel to display screen reports checkbox can be selected if you wish Microsoft Excel to launch your report when the Screen Display report output type is selected.
If you do not select the Use Excel to display screen reports checkbox, then a simple window will be launched and the report data will be displayed within it.
Note: A report that has had its Output Type configured as ‘Screen Display’, and for which the ‘Use Excel to Display Screen Reports’ checkbox has been selected will open as a regular screen display over VIC connections. The ‘Screen Display Using Microsoft Excel’ feature is not available for VIC connections at the present time.
The Use separate sheets/tables checkbox can be selected if you wish Microsoft Excel to display report data using separate spreadsheets or tables.
If you do not select the Use separate sheets/tables checkbox, then the report data will be placed in a single spreadsheet or table.
The Rename sheets/tables checkbox can be selected if you wish the report spreadsheet(s) or table(s) to be renamed corresponding to the date and time at which the report was generated.
