Exporting the HTML output of a Cognos report to Excel causes the report to be run again
Unfortunately, you cannot bypass re-running the reports with prompts if you choose to export the existing HTML to Excel.
As a workaround, you can do the following:
- Run the report in the back end and select both HMTL and Excel version.
- Click the more icon > Versions, where both the HTML and Excel files will be available.
