APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Hiding categories from the 2nd or 3rd nested categories in the
  rows in Powerplay Studio, will cause a misalignment in Excel
  2007 exports. Instead of merging the summary lines, or spanning
  them over 2 cells in Excel, the first columns moves to the left
  and one column is missing.
  This is not reproducible with Excel 2002 export.
