Configure Custom Headers for XLSX Exports

This article describes how you can customize the headers used in the exports of XLSX reports and dashboards in your project.

For general information about exporting, see Export Reports and Export File Types.

You can specify headers for each project in your domain. You can add up to 5 headers (rows) in your XLSX files, each displayed on a separate row. By default, the XLSX file has no headers predefined.

You can specify XLSX headers through:

• Platform Settings
• GoodData API

Adding headers through Platform Settings

Steps:

1. Access Platform Settings.
   For details, see Configure Various Features via Platform Settings.
2. In the Config section at the bottom of the page in the Key field, type exporter.ExcelExport.CustomHeader.N where N<=5 and specifies the number of the row.

3. For Value, type what you want to display in the header.
   You can use text or macros (see below).

   • If you leave the Value empty, the header row is removed.
   • If you want to add an empty row in the header, type an empty space as the Value.
4. Click Create config.
5. Log in to the GoodData Portal and verify that the headers export correctly.

Adding headers through GoodData API
