So the difficulty is to define a custom view (display properties icon) on a
report table that not really exists or that changes form every time new
parameters are chosen?

Every time we run a report table and put in the parameters the database
table is recreated and that table works fine always.

Why can't we then just export the default view (same as the recreated
database table) every time the report table (incl. cross tabbed parameters)
has been modified? At least then we are able to support Excel and CSV
exports, which is an important feature.

If someone wants to do custom design (reorder, rename, hide columns) of a
report table then that user will also be aware of the fact that if the
report tables is set up to have dynamic number of columns and headings
(anything else than data elements or indicators crosstabbed on columns) then
the design will have to change and be redone every time new parameters are
chosen. This can be commented in the UI as well. I think that is acceptable.
No one can custom design a table that doesn't exist (or for which we do not
know the number of columns or their headings) anyway.

Bug description:
Report tables -> any report table with orgunit and/or period set as cross-tab dimensions while data element is not cross-tabbed

The view or export of report tables only seem to work properly for tables that have data elements as one of the cross-tabbed dimensions.
If data element is not cross-tabbed then the cross tabbed columns are not shown at all and therefore no values either.
