    Hi Chanchal,

    The 'Printable View' of a report retains the format and summary information of a report. This includes Custom Summary Formula fields.

    The 'Export Details' to Excel option will produce only the detail rows. With only the detail rows available, the exported file is raw data that is easily modifiable. This also allows for a smoother import.

    The fields used as grouping for summary format reports will also be placed as the last column in excel once the report is exported via Export details hence any report will be rendered as tabular report.

    Hi Chanchal,

    Printable View:
    Formatting, Grouping and Subtotals are persisted (Retain the grouping as you see it on your report).

    Export Details:
    Formatting, Grouping and Subtotals are lost.
    It exports the details of the report; meaning every line that makes up your report will be rendered as a new line in your .xls or .csv
