I have data window with compute field, by using save as function i am exporting this dw into excel file. But in the excel file i cannot able to get the compute field values. Is there any way to get these ways.

Also for a column i am using drop down datawindow, in that display value is different and the data column is different, i am getting the data column value only in the excel file, is there any way to get the display value in the excel file.
 
When you do a saveas with Excel! as the file type, PB will only save the resultset from your datawindow query. That is why you don't get the computed values. As far as I know the only way to save "what you see" is to do a "SaveAsAscii". However, this will give you a .txt file rather than a .xls one. This will additionally provide you with the dddw values rather than the data values for the columns where you have a dddw specified.
