Please fix the post-SP1 excel export issue

Though it has been well-documented in the community since SP1 was released, I'd like to reiterate that many of us are having critical issues related to element hiding and excel export.
I, for one, have built a highly dynamic reporting system that relies heavily on the use visibility for showing/hiding subreports. My users require export to excel.
The question to Microsoft is: Can you fix this issue that was introduced in SP1? Please provide us with an SP1a update that will allow elements to be hidden & thus NOT show up in the excel export...just as it works in the HTML & PDF renderings.
Regards,
Todd SmartIt may be too much work to "re-tool", but have you considered DTS services?
However, I too, am waiting for a fix on Excel exporting!

hidden and can never be toggled?

If I have a subreport (or any other element for that matter) that is hidden due to an expression result of [True], that subreport should not be rendered in the Excel export. It should not even have an Excel cell associated with it.
In other words, I would want the render of Excel to work just like the HTML & PDF render works...and how it worked prior to SP1.
Regards,
Todd

SP2.

not being displayed in the export to excel, and the start of the table data
appears several rows down (80 rows) .
