    There's a bug when exporting to excel:

    It looks like there's a problem when you export special/reserved chars to excel.

    I have a column where the data can come up as something like:

    Multi Sports coach [<21]

    When you export to excel, this gets truncated to:

    Multi Sports coach [<

    I can make a work around for now, but the column name is correct: it should be <21.

    Cheers

    You can run the updater to get the latest build.

    If you wish to use "Multi Sports coach [<21]" as a column title use dbr.column.title-command.

    It's a returned value I'm afraid. :(

    You can use dbr.column.title-command, even if the column title comes from the data:

    select 'dbr.column.title', 'titlecolumn', value
    from mydata;

    Hi, apologies for the late response: Was working on other aspects of the projects.

    I think there's some misunderstanding here:

    "Multi Sports coach [<21]" is a returned value, not a header. By this I mean the column in question is:

    Role
    ----
    Play leader
    Multi Sports coach [<21]
    Multi Sports coach [21+]
    ...

    So, the DATA is .. [<21], so I don't think I can affect that with the header function. If I can - please let me know how.

    Cheers

    This should work in latest builds.
