duplicate headers and titles and

Automatic Conversion into Table Mode
B2Win can automatically convert most reports into Excel and other tabular modes without any
human intervention. B2Win uses a smart conversion engine that performs the following:
-Delete Titles that appear in every page
-Delete headers that appear in every page and use them only once
-Recognize leading zeros
-Recognize the minus sign on the right side in Finance Reports
-Convert to the client’s date format, decimal symbol and thousand separator
Non-standard Reports
If your report is not the standard looking Baan/ERP Ln report with a header, a delimiter and detail
lines, you can use the user friendly B2Win Report Customizer for better report conversion into Excel.
The following are examples for non-standard reports that can be taken to Excel:
