Error description

  • When a Cognos generated Excel 2007 output is viewed in Excel
    2010, the ?Include legend key in label? option is selected on
    the series label.  When viewed in Excel 2003, this option is not
    selected.   FP1 partially corrected the series label issue (see
    prior_to_FP1_options.png), however the outputs are still
    different with no Cognos design option to correct.
    

Local fix

  • manually edit the resulting output series label
