    This behavior is documented in the RBuilder topic for TppXLSReportDevice.
    Labels and DBText are exported to cells, with the dataype, format, and value
    being cell attributes. Graphical objects such as Shapes cannot appear below
    cells - that is a limitation of XLS.

    One option is to use the Report.XLSSettings to ommit the shapes from the XLS
    export. Another option is to Or conditionally set the Shape.Brush.Style to
    bsClear when exporting to XLS.

    Thank you very much.

    I set Shape.Brush.Style to bsClear before print and when I exporting
    report to XLS now shape is background and label and text are in foreground.

    I would to ask why some text are exported outside of the shape parent

    I attached invoice example in excel and pdf format
