The utility to produce an XLS output from a report does not properly handle carriage return (0x0D) and line feed (0x0A) in the data.  This condition should be automatically be accommodated by the utility. 

As a temporary workaround we can apply a function to convert 0x0D or 0x0A to a space (' ').  But that alters the original data and needs to be manually applied to any offending column when defining the selection criteria for the report. 

For my test case a customer has supplied data that must remain consistent from import to output.  The data has multiple consecutive CR and LF.  So when looking at a hex dump I see 0D0A0D0A.  The data was supplied as an XLSX file.  It is imported via an Assemble Package to a table.  The table values are joined to a Target Report that is published.  When viewing the results in My Reports the data is accessed and the file is downloaded.  Any data containing CRLFCRLF results in the row being split to a new row in the downloaded XLS file.
