Symptom
When exporting data from the Executive Review functionality in SAP SuccessFactors Compensation, the "Total" row appears in the exported file even though it is hidden in the display settings within the worksheet view.
Reproducing the Issue
- Navigate to Compensation Planning > Executive Review
- Select the relevant compensation plan
- Export the data from Executive Review
- Open the exported file and observe the last row labeled "Total:"
Cause
This behavior is by design and represents the standard functionality of the Executive Review export process. The system is engineered to include all data columns and calculated totals in exports, regardless of their visibility status in the worksheet display view.
Resolution
This is expected system behavior. The Executive Review export functionality is designed to provide a comprehensive data export that includes:
- All data columns (both visible and hidden)
- Calculated totals and summary rows
- Complete dataset for reporting and analysis purposes
No configuration changes are available to exclude the "Total" row from Executive Review exports, as this is part of the core system design.
