Cognos report - Column visualization does not display all values on x-axis when exported to Excel

Troubleshooting


Problem

A report contains a column visualization that has several values on the x-axis.  When report is run to HTML, all the values are visible.  When report is run to Excel, not all values are visible.

Cause

Excel output does not support percentages (%) for the Size property of the chart.

Resolving The Problem

Set the size and overflow property to a unit of measure as opposed to a percentage.
Sample report output in HTML with Size - Width property set to %100:
image-20230606112211-1
 Same report exported to Excel:
image-20230606112407-2
 Size - Width property for the visualization modified to 10 inches (in):
image-20230606112623-3
