BOBI 4.x Webi - Graphs when exported to Excel, turns as picture.

[Former Member]

Hello,

In SAP BO XI 3.x version, a Webi document having graphs, when exported to Excel sheet, the graphs are exported as they are and were able to modify them. However, in SAP BO BI 4.x version, the graphs are exported as picture and are not able modify them.

I tried with multiple 4.x versions even with 4.1 SP4, but its still the same.

Is this by design that the Chart\Graph engine saves them as picture in 4.x or there are some settings that need to be done?

Any help is much appreciated.

Regards,

Abhay

Hello SAP/BO

9 months later - where are you with this idea of restoring past functionality ?

We have just upgraded to BO 4.1 SP5 and now face this issue.

Hi All,

Does any one has any update on this thread?. Is the "Export as chart only from WEBI" fixed in any new Service pack?

As the chart gets exported as image into excel, we cannot even see the tool tip of the data values of the chart.

Does anybody have any workaround for this i.e to show the tool tip for the data values in excel. I can see them in WEBI but not in excel.

Please update!!

Hello Abhay,

As you suspected, the functionality to add webi chart as excel chart while exporting has been changed in BO 4.x version. Please see below idea page where developers like us asking to restore the same functionality. The idea is under review now. Cast a vote for the idea.
