  • What base product functionality reproduces Export CDT to Excel?  With it, I was able to have a data set pre-loaded in a process variable and then transform certain columns as necessary for friendlier display - i.e. translating messy-looking dateTime columns into just a date in the customer's preferred date format, or taking bare usernames and translating those to their full name, etc... all while writing to a pre-formatted template with customized column widths and filtering applied to the column headers, as well as a cover sheet listing metrics like date generated and filters elected by the user.   Is there new base product functionality that reproduces this that we haven't been told about yet?

  • We have a complex query that changes based on date and result need to be in excel. I used "Export SQL to Excel" for similar functionality on many applications. Now that it's deprecated I do not want to use in on my current new application. What's the replacement functionality for deprecated "Export SQL to Excel"?
