I have a report generated from Visual Studio 2008 Reporting Services that the users like to export to Excel then sort. The report contains a couple images in the report header. When the report exports to Excel, the header is causing merged cells in the spreadsheet. These merged cell are preventing the users from sorting with an error "This operation requires the merged cells to be identically sized." Does anyone know if the images can be removed from the export from this report without affecting other any other report exports?
