Hi @ShreyaSharma

Yes..I tried but not getting any formatted output

Hi @ShreyaSharma,

By any chance can you share the workflow?

Can you show your render tool configuration window? Are you saving it to a file and you are opening the empty file? If not maybe you can save it as a pdf and check how the output look like

Hi @Emil_Kos 

I am trying to export the Table output however i am getting this error on excel sheet.

Hi,

Actually, you don't need a table tool to make it work. It is something new for me as I was under the impression you require some of the reporting tools to make render tool works.

Can you remove the table tool and check if it starts working for you?

Hi,

By reading those two articles

I am under impression that you require a table tool to make it work.

Probably you can format currencies without using the table tool by changing it to a string format but if you want to export it to excel you can also output it to a template and preserve formating.
