Thanks Lashan,
I guess I was hopeful that there's another way other than custom. I was really looking forward to seeing if the "Export to Excel" piece was made standard, like they did in Financial Planning (Note 1759188 - Enhancing the financial and capacity planning UIs)
The foregone option for us is an older consulting solution, of which functionality like BCV in 5.0 used to be implemented exclusively as part of the CS, but as charts in WDPA.
The export button also comes as "standard" in this CS. If that makes sense at all 
Unfortunately the CS does cost more than simply doing configuration, but for what it's worth, the cost quoted to us wasn't as much as I had previously thought. I won't say for obvious reasons, but perhaps others might benefit from it if cost isn't so much a factor!
Thanks again Lashan!
