Cheers,
Craig

    Hi,

    Thanks for the reply. I forgot about this one 🙂

    First, the reports in question were not in My Workspace, but this is good advice for anyone else who stumbles across this thread. 

    Second, the Excel export functionality has been working as expected with SP auth for a while now. I think the issue fixed iteself last May when SP auth went to GA status. Can't remember specifics now. 

    Thanks again,

    Craig
