The latter only applies if the templates are not obtained from another location, for example a server storage location, or a CAQ/MES system.

Otherwise, it is recommended to start #@IC_HTML@# in administrator mode and set the project settings as default according to the following instructions. | + | If the project settings currently set in a project should be saved as a new template for projects, the export and save function can be used.

| - | You can create your own Excel test report templates, customise the ones with installed template files or use them directly.\\ | + | Characteristic and general test plan data can be exported directly to an Excel test report. An Excel template file (*.xltx, *.xltm) is required from #@IC_HTML@# for this. You can use and adapt the installed test report templates or create your own templates. The basics are described on the following linked page. Template-specific descriptions can be found on the **Info** worksheet.\\ |
| - | **See** More > [[de:infra-convert:user:exceltemp|Create and customize Excel templates]] | + | **See** More > [[en:infra-convert:user:exceltemp|Create and customize Excel templates]] |
| - | The Excel test report templates provide some useful features. Note (in the current templates) the option to switch the language as well as the tips at the top right of the "Input" sheet. More in-depth notes on use can be found on the "Admin" sheet. In particular, it describes how to restore lost print areas. | + | The **Excel Report Add-In** known from the predecessor software #@IC_OLD_HTML@# is no longer used. The Excel export function is now integrated in #@IC_HTML@#.\\ |

| - | If the entry "#NAME?" is displayed in some fields in an exported Excel file, editing of the document may be restricted. Some formulas are not calculated in the "Protected View" mode. To do this, deactivate the protected view. | + | **Known problems and possible solutions** |
| - | \\ | + | |< 100% 33% 66% >| |
| - | + | ^ Problem ^ Explanation/Solution ^ | |
| - | </WRAP> | + | ^ No data is entered in the Excel file | If the Excel file is created but not filled with values, this can have the following reasons:\\ \\ **No data in the test plan** – The test plan version to be exported does not contain any characteristics (or test plan attributes) or all characteristics have been filtered out for export. Check the contents of the test plan version in the project that you want to export. Check whether you have activated filters for the export.\\ **See** Functions > Export > Export test plan > [[en:infra-convert:user:functions:cplanexport#workflowexport_test_plan_version|Workflow: Export test plan version]]\\ \\ **Missing cell names** – There are no cells named with valid export variables on the sheet. Either these were not defined or the sheet was not active or not in the foreground when the Excel template was saved.\\ **See** More > Create and customize Excel templates > [[en:infra-convert:user:exceltemp#structure|Structure]] | |
| - | </WRAP> | + | ^ The sheet is write-protected | If the export process is interrupted with the message that cells are located on a read-only sheet, check whether write protection is not activated for the sheet to be filled. Open the template file in Excel. You can view the protection status under **File** > **Information** > **Protect workbook**. | |
| - | </WRAP> | + | ^ The file is used by another process | You may be trying to overwrite a file that is open in another application. Check if this is the case or save the file under a different name or in a different directory. | |
| + | ^ Formulas are not calculated (#NAME?) | If the entry "#NAME?" is displayed in some fields in an exported Excel file, editing of the document may be restricted. Some formulas are not calculated in the "Protected view" mode. To do this, disable the protected view. Trusted sources can be set in the Excel Trust Center. Contact your administrator for this. | | ||
| + | ^ The file is write protected | Security settings may prevent access to the template file. Note that the access permissions apply to the user running #@IC_HTML@# at the moment. In this case, contact your administrator.\\ \\ Alternatively, you can try to save the template file with Excel again (**File** > **Save as**) or change the directory for test report templates. The location can be set in the #@IC_HTML@# settings.\\ **See** Settings > Settings > Export > [[en:infra-convert:user:config:export#excel_test_plan_group|“Excel test plan” group]] | | ||
| + | ^ Error in Microsoft Office interop interface | If the export process is aborted with an error message indicating an error in the "Microsoft.Office.Interop" interface, there may be an error in the Microsoft Excel or Office installation. Carry out an Office repair, in the first attempt a quick repair, if the error continues to occur, an online repair.\\ **See** Microsoft Support > [[https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/reparieren-einer-office-anwendung-7821d4b6-7c1d-4205-aa0e-a6b40c5bb88b|Repair an Office application]]\\ \\ **Quick repair** – Press the key combination **Window key** + **R**, enter //control// in the Run console that opens and confirm the entry. Navigate under **Control Panel** > **All Control Panel Items** to **Programs and Features**. Search here for //Microsoft Office// or //Microsoft 365//. Right-click on the entry and click on **Change** in the context menu. In the repair dialog that opens, select **Quick Repair** and then click **Repair** twice.\\ \\ **Online repair** – Open the repair dialog as described above under //Quick repair//. Select **Online repair** here and then click **Repair** twice. | | ||
