KB441142: The fill color for a grid visualization is not exported to Excel from a Visual Insight Dashboard or Dossier in MicroStrategy Web 10.x


Shane Winslow

Cloud Support Expert I • MicroStrategy


This Knowledge Base Article outlines a limitation of MicroStrategy Web 10.x where the fill color of a visualization is not maintained when exporting to Excel from a Visual Insight dashboard or Dossier. Users can export the visualization to PDF to maintain the fill color of the title bar.

Starting with the release of Strategy ONE (March 2024), dossiers are also known as dashboards.
SYMPTOM:
In Strategy Web 10.x, users can format objects in a Visual Insight dashboard or Dossier to achieve a particular look and feel for the dashboard or Dossier. One of these options is to change the fill color of title bars of visualizations as seen below.

However when exporting a single visualization to Excel, the fill color of the title bar is not maintained. Instead, only the title is export to Excel as seen below.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

  1. Create a Visual Insight dashboard containing a grid visualization.
  2. In the grid visualization, change the fill color of the title bar.

  1. Notice the fill color is not exported. 

CAUSE:
This is a limitation of Strategy Web 10.x. Strategy only exports the title of the visualization as a string when export to Excel.
 
ACTION:
This issue was reviewed by our Technology team for feasibility and will not be scoped for a code fix in any upcoming Strategy release.
WORKAROUND:
Export the grid visualization to PDF to export the fill color of the title bar.
The Strategy Internal Reference Number for this issue is: KB441142
