    Yes, reached out to support and it seems to be a defect.

    Here are couple of workarounds just in case if anyone else have the issue

    2) After creating the quick view in excel add in, create a new sheet and link to original QA.  Apply the necessary formatting and grouping the new sheet.

    Thanks

Not sure, this is the sort of thing that should probably be discussed with Support. Did you open a case?
