Works fine for me - using both a chart and a visualization. Other than that, there's not much more anyone can say based on the lack of detail you have posted. All we know is you have a pie - nothing else about the report or the package or your environment or what versions of Cognos/Excel or anything else, in fact.

Looks to me like you have multiple levels of nested tables in the report. This isn't directly supported in Excel:

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEP7J_10.2.1/com.ibm.swg.ba.cognos.ug_cr_rptstd.10.2.1.1.doc/c_table_col_widths.html%23table_col_widths?lang=en

You probably want to revisit the structures you are using to simplify them. Also, don't use percentages in your table width in the Size & Overflow property.

Cheers!

Hi MFGF,

I checked other reports which are using pie chart(output in excel),even tried putting only pie chart in report so remove layout formatting as you suggesting. Pie charts are still not showing up.

But data underneath pie chart is coming.Can be check by un hiding data sheet in excel.

Error we are getting is " Removed Part: /xl/drawing1.xml.part
(Drawing shape)"

I browse internet and find this link from IBM cognos : http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1PM68171

We are using cognos 10.2.1 . (No fix pack). Does issue  seems to be related as mentioned in above IBM KB link.

Please advice.

Also in future we are going to use 10.2.2 .
