OTBI Analysis merging columns when exporting to Excel 2010

Summary

OTBI has starting merging columns since R12 upgrade

Content

Hi

 

Hopefully someone can help - since our recent R12 patch was applied, a number of our custom OTBI reports have started to contain merged cells when we export them to Excel.  This tends to be for fields where the data contained within it is longer than normal (although not exceptionally long - for example an email address). 

 

Prior to the patch, columns A and B in the below image were one column when exported to Excel.  Now the cells are merging over 2 columns, which means that users have to highlight the two columns, unmerge and then delete the unwanted column.
