In My Projects, you can download a copy of the current report view by clicking "Export to Excel" on the right-hand side.
Excel will produce a warning prompting that the file is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Ignore this as it is expected behavior and click "Yes" to continue opening the file.
By default Excel will save the file as a Web Page (*.htm) rather than an Excel Workbook (*.xlsx or *.xls). In order to properly save the data, click Save As and select Workbook as the file type.
If Excel doesn't appear to show any gridlines, go to the View tab and make sure that the Gridlines box is checked (sometimes Excel may uncheck this by default). If the gridlines still do not appear, select all of the worksheet cells and make sure that the background color is set to "No Fill".
