  <p><code>="Report generatedBy: " &amp; User!UserID.Substring(User!UserID.LastIndexOf("\")+1)</code></p>
  
  <p>I have the above code in a text box in report footer in my SSRS 2008 report. I get all the data and header exported to Excel but the footer is not getting exported.</p>
  
  <p>I checked the print preview where I can just see the label with the value <code>Report generatedBy:</code> but no other data.</p>
  
  <p>I have checked the preview mode and I can see the <strong>Report generatedBy</strong> correctly with its value.</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone point me in the right direction?</p>
