Hi All,

Creating an report in business Central which have excel as a template.
The Report I tried creating from the MS documents are not fulfilling my criteria.
Are there any limitations to this report or a better explanation on this.

The Report I want to create should look like the attached.

The Style and design should be with images too

    Hi, Starting from BC20.0, you can use the new Excel layout.

    More details: https://yzhums.com/23873/

    PS: Microsoft added some tips and tricks to get your imagination started. Also added a Powerpoint deck if you want to do internal/external presentations.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks.

    Have gone through the tutorial but am facing few issues.

    Like the Template is not supporting the Space in the Top Left corner. The template that I am referring to has to be designed how is a challenge.

    Regards,
