Unable to export Dynamic Report as snapshot to Excel in tm1 web

Troubleshooting


Problem

Unable to export specific dynamic report as a snapshot to excel, slice to excel or PDF.  This was tried in tm1 web and Planning Analytics Workspace. The report was published using Planning Analytics for Excel.   

Symptom

Once you click on Export, nothing will happen in Planning Analytics workspace however in tm1 web you will see "Exporting 1 of 2, cancel export" message. Then nothing happens until you click cancel. 

Cause

TM1RptRow Formula is missing arguments (ie not complete).

Resolving The Problem

After investigating the tm1 formulas in the report, we noticed that the TM1RptRow was missing some parameters(arguments). Hence, it was not a complete formula and was causing the report not to export. The Tm1RptRow formula in question had the syntax similar to:
TM1RPTROW(ReportView Cell reference,"Server:Dimension",Subset")

So we modified it to become:
TM1RPTROW(ReportView Cell reference,"Server:Dimension",Subset",,,,,,)

Then the report was able to export successfully in tm1 web and PAw. Below is a short definition of the TM1RptRow:
It sets the Active Form control row definition. The control row definition governs the behavior of all rows in the Active Form. 
Proper Syntax:
TM1RptRow(ReportView, Dimension, Subset, SubsetElements,Alias, ExpandAbove,MDXStatement, Indentations, ConsolidationDrilling)
