  One of my customers noticed that SSRS reports exported to Excel contain hidden rows and columns. These rows and columns contain no data and are either between a textbox and a tablix or they are in the middle of a tablix.

  Does anyone know why SSRS would create these? If so, has anyone managed to tell SSRS not to create hidden/empty rows and columns?

  Thanks!
