Symptoms

On Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE) 11.1.1.9.x and above versions, the below scenario is noticed:

When exporting an analysis with transparent gif image to Excel 2007, the transparent area in the gif image is not displayed in the expected color.
The images are displayed correctly when exporting to PDF, PowerPoint and Printable HTML; exporting to Excel2007 is the only issue here.

It is expected that the transparent gif images in the analysis should be displayed as transparent even when exporting to Excel 2007.

Note- A transparent gif is an image file that has one color assigned to be "transparent" so that the assigned color will be replaced by the background color of the page when it is placed on the page.
