Quick check ... whether the gridlines are coded or not in the report?

A) On the service, run the report , click view > Page view ... check whether you see the gridlines or not?

(or)

B) Download the rdl file, run the report, click print layout? check whether you see the gridlines or not?   Also, try to export here and see whether you get the gridlines.

 

If you dont see that means you did not code the borders.

 

If you see the grid lines in either of the case, then check your Excel , view menu, check box is checked next to Gridlines
