Allow user input for incomplete report (not all data available in BW)

Hallo Guys

 

So I'm a little stuck and was wondering if any of you might have a few ideas.

 

Scenario:

Automate a manual process by adding the data to BW and creating a report according to government standard (template none negotiable). Done.

The report format looks a lot like something I should have done in crystal reports, but we had our reasons for choosing webi.

The report has some sort of header table (not in the report header, but repeated on every page) and it is located 4 sections deep (this allows the other fields to be populated dynamically). It looks like this:

We are unable to calculate the yellow block because we did not import any old data into BW.

Because this is a report template repeated on every page, you are unable to change the cell content as it would reflect on every page.

 

The perfect solution would have been to be able to export to MS Word, that way they could just type it into every page.

Excel throws away the headers and footers, and even of I move them into the body, I lose the pages. (just a dump onto a sheet)

 

I have tried exporting to PDF and then trying to convert the PDF to Word with a few free online tools but it's not so great

 

Any ideas? We are on BO 4.1 SP4

 

Regards

Antonette
