The Progress Status window will be displayed on the right of your screen and will indicate the progress of your report.
Running a report occurs in two stages which can be seen by the Progress Status window. The first stage, being the Data In stage or the execution stage, the stage at which data is being extracted from the underlying database as can be seen in the following screen:
The second stage being the Data Out stage, is the stage at which the data is being rendered to Microsoft Excel.
Once a report has completed running, the data should be visible in a new workbook in Microsoft Excel.
Depending on the underlying database system and your configuration of the rendering engine, the progress status may offer a cancel facility. This cancel facility should be used as the preferred method for cancelling a report.
