You can't change anything on the report just for the export process. You could create a formula so that strips those characters out of your text, but I assume that you have many fields and this could be a lot of formulas that you need to build. Otherwise, I don't think its possible.

Hi,
You can use replace function , it will be
trim(replace({table.fieldname},'\r', ''))
same for \n
Cheers

I am using the same replace process but need to have two evaluations and replacements
trim(replace({table.fieldname},'\r', ''))
trim(replace({table.fieldname},'\s', &))
How do I combine two of the trim(replace into one formula????

were you able to get rid of the /r but you still have the /n in the file? If so, I founda way to get around that. I do not it if it is the easiest but it worked.
I created the first formula "Address Line 1":
trim(replace({address1}, '/r/', ''))
I created a second formula "Adress Line 1 Trim"
Put the second formula in the report and worked perfectly.
