SSRS Report - Workaround for resolving the color changes/column merging issue

Workaround for resolving the color changes/column merging issue in SSRS report:
1. Status color changes while exporting to excel
2. Column merging while accessing the report via sharepoint site.

We went through various blogs /MSDN forums and found that this seems to be an anomaly in the product which is fixed in SQL server 2012 Service Pack1 CU3.
