I have some standard reports which I run every month and export to Excel. I then have various automated manipulations of the Excel spreadsheet set up to get the report and data structured in the way I need it, for submission to a third party.

 

At some point in the last month or so, the export to excel function appears to have changed in that there are now 2 extra columns generated (columns C and F). These are separate cells for the first 2 lines of the report, but then on the actual report they are merged with the relevant cell in colmn B and E respectively. This is causing me a problem when I cut and paste the cells from the exported spreadsheet into other sheets.

 

I can get around this by deleting columns C and F, but why have they now started appearing in the extract? is this a bug?
