Panel BOM Reports

Does anyone know how to change the format of the Panel BOM Report when saving it to an Excel file?

I would like to combine the fields DESC, QUERY2, QUERY3, MISC1, MISC2, USER1, USER2 and USER3 into one field and seperate them with commas.

We use this BOM other places and it would be really nice to be able to do this when I save the report.

There might be a way to write a User Post code that would do what you want but the faster way may be to just create a "Concatenate" column in your spreadsheet to join them all after it is created.

Thanks Bob,

I already have the concatenate for the spreadsheet but it requires several steps to get it into a useable form.  I was hoping for an easy way to do it in script when I saved the file so I wouldn't have to do the concatenate.  I haven't done much programming in a number of years but it looks like I will have to write something.

When saving a report to file, you always have the option to push the Run Script button.

If you now press "other", you can select what script file to run. This script file can trigger som program that processes the excel file. 

A little programming has to be done of course, but nothiong that difficult.
