Scheduled report CSV export does not match manual “Download CSV” (Excel option missing)

Hi everyone,

I’m currently using Grafana Enterprise and have set up an automated scheduled report that attaches a CSV file (“Attach a CSV file of table panel data”).

However, the CSV file that is sent with the report is not the same as the one I get when I manually export the panel data via
Inspect → Data → Download CSV.

The scheduled report’s CSV only includes the rendered panel data (formatted values, missing or aggregated columns, etc.), while the manual export contains the raw query results with all original fields and data types.

In the manual export dialog, there’s also an option to export the data as Excel (XLSX), which provides a properly structured table with columns and formatting — but this option isn’t available for scheduled reports.

Is there any way to configure scheduled reports so they use the same data source / query output as the manual export (and ideally allow the same Excel export option)?

Thanks in advance for your help and any configuration tips!
