Brad, I've usually had better success doing the summary of data in a query and exporting the query when going to Excel. As you say, there's no simple way of exporting the report when there are groupings involved.

Most of the reports that I have worked with in the past were fairly complex (dynamic sorts, dynamic filters, conditional formatting, sub-totals, etc.) Recently, one of our users has requested that a rather simple Access report be exported to Excel. This report reads data from a purchased package's General Ledger tables. The detail lines of the report are not visible. There are groupings on Month/Year and on the General Ledger Account Number. Here is a small example of what the report looks like. Account-AAA Total $1,000 Account-BBB Total $2,000 Account-CCC Total $3,000 01 2013 Month Total $6,000 Account-AAA Total $1,100 Account-BBB Total $2,200 Account-CCC Total $3,300 02 2013 Month Total $6,600 There are many records in the underlying GL table. The use of Access Report "Groups" makes it very easy to obtain the sub-totals at the two levels (by Account within Month). When I try to export the report to Excel, however, things do not turn out very nicely. For example, the Month and Year fields are not shown. Instead, "AccessTotalsAmount:" is shown for each cell in this Excel column. What I am really trying to ask, is if there is a way to employ report groupings and then be able to successfully export such a summary report to Excel. Perhaps there is another way to do this.
