Dynamic report on screen vs. export

I was wondering if it's possible to display a report, but export an expanded version of that report? For instance if I have a report with, say, 6 columns, when the user exports to Excel I want to export 12 columns (6 that were displayed plus 6 additional columns). I tried hiding the additional columns, but they're also hidden in the export. I ended-up creating a separate report all together for exporting, but this is confusing to the user. Is something like this even possible?

Unfortunately renderer-specific formatting adjustments are not supported. You will probably need to construct two versions of the same report (one with the extra columns) and instruct your users to use the appropriate one for the output format.
