Hi @abRoman83 ,

AFAIK it's not possible to make the Excel output file read only out-of-the-box.

You can either make it read only (manually or using a script) before delivering it to your users, or you can use the PDF output which allows you to make the output read-only (you have to update settings in the report Properties accordingly).
