Symptom
When downloading Ad Hoc Multi Dataset Reports to Excel datasets are automatically renamed as “dataset1”, “dataset2” etc, instead of taking the names they have been given.
Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite
Reproducing the Issue
- Create a Multi Datset Ad Hoc report giving each individual dataset a name.
- Preview of Multidataset report
-
Once this is completed download the output and open it in excel, we can see then see the dataset labels aren’t displaying the correct domain name but instead they are named as “dataset1”, “dataset2” etc
Cause
Currently this is expected behavior of the product with Multi Dataset Ad Hoc Reports output in Excel changing to Datasets labels as “dataset1”, “dataset2” etc.
Resolution
- As a Workaround it is possible to rename these datasets labels in Excel by Right clicking the label and select "Rename"
- Before renaming
- After renaming
