Use Excel Formatting to Customize the Report
You can apply many of the Excel formatting options to the report template to customize the appearance
of the generated report. These options include, but are not limited to:
• Character formatting
• Footers/headers
• Borders
• Table styles
• Imported graphics (such as company logos)
• Landscape/portrait
• Cell shading
• Margins
Excel calculations
Excel calculations that use data from the test report cannot be entered in a report template. These type
of calculations must be added after the report is generated.

can use Excel to change this default table or to create a new custom table style.
1. Select an empty cell in the report template.
2. Click the Home tab.
3. Click Format as Table.
4. Right-click the desired table style from the list of available table styles.
Note:
To create a new table, style, click New Table Style.
5. Click Set As Default.
