Assistance With Finding Issues Involved In SQL2005 Reporting Services Reports And Exporting Them To Excel
Oct 4, 2007
Hello,
We are running SQL2005, SP2.
We are having problems with the time it takes to export reports to Excel.
I am attempting to research the subject and find ways of solving the problem either by modifying the reports or make changes in the way we deliver them.
Either way my attempts at researching this at Microsoft.com and here at the forums have proven to be failures. There are many threads on the subject but with the time it takes to scroll through them all I have yet to find any that seem to relate to the specific issues we are having.
We have a report which is approximately 38 pages, sometimes less, sometimes more, in length. When attempting to export to Excel the process seems to take forever or time out. We can still close out the export attempt and return to the report, but the process of exporting to Excell seems to take forever.
Could anyone here provide me with links to pages either here at Microsoft.com, in the forums, or elsewhere where the factors involved in the exporting to Excell feature are addressed so that I can try to accomodate them as best as possible?
Thanks in advance.
I will continue to try and track down the information on my own but any assistance is appreciated.

I have generated an invoice report is SSRS. It works correctly via Report Builder and the viewer. However if I then export the report to PDF, it throws the formatting of the report off.
As I have mentioned, it is an invoice report. If I print 1 invoice, and export it, everything exports correctly and all formatting is retained. However if i print off and export multiple invoices (range of Invoice 1 to 4), the 1st invoice is exported correctly, but all subsequent ones are not. In so far that where 1 invoice should be printed on 2 pages of A4 paper, it is spread over 7 pages.
The header is one page, then 1 row is on the second page, then a blank page, then another set of data on another page etc. Is it a problem with the page/report sizing/margins?

I have a table where I added several header rows above the details row and increased the row heights to 0.4in. The row height looks fine in preview, but when I export to Excel, it is as if I had not increased the row height. I have found through trial and error that if I place a textbox below my table and position it so that it is under the rightmost column of my table, then I get my desired row heights in Excel. If I remove the textbox or if it is not under the rightmost column then the row heights revert back to their original size. The textbox can be empty and still has the desired effect. i am using SQL Server 2008 RTM and VS 2008 SP1.

Hi,
Please help me.
I need to export around 1 million records to excel. As we know that there is a limit of approx 65,000 rows in one worksheet so the exporting functionality is failing. One way is that I should be able to configure the Reporting Service in such a way so that once 65,000 records gets populated in the first worksheet, then the rest 35,000 records gets popultaed in the second worksheet.
I am not able to find out how this can be achieved in Reporting Services. Please help me in this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Raman

When exporting SSRS 2008 R2 report to an csv or excel file not all the rows are being exported. The number of rows is less then 500 and it seems to be a pretty straight forward export.

I was trying to export a report which contains a number format. When I do that, all the numbers in excel will have a green small tag beside it saying "Convert from Number to Text".
Is there anyway that I can change the format to a number when I export it to excel?

We are using SSRS 2012. We have a report that conditionally formats a background color for some cells. The report renders properly in a browser and in Excel 2003 format. In Excel format all cells after the first one that meets the condition are highlighted, even if only one cell should.
The sample expression that triggers this condition looks like this:
=IIF(Fields!VIOL_NOTE.Value="Internal","Green","No Color")
All cells after the first one that meets the condition Fields!VIOL_NOTE.Value="Internal" have a green background.
Excel 2003 (proper) results:

I tried creating one simple bar chart report in SSRS, with background fill with pattern "UpwardDiagonal", the stripes on the column when viewed insider report viewer control is quite prominently visible, whereas when exporting the same report to PDF the lines are very thin and dense and hence makes it very difficult to differentiate between one column with pattern inside and one without. I have even tried various other pattern like "LightUpwardDiagonal" and "WideUpwardDiagonal" but all have same result when exported to PDF.why?

I would like to know if it is resonable and acceptable to make reports created through SQL Server Reporting services available through our Public facing applications.
Also, what are the potential problems? Security? Impact on the SQL Server? Limit to specific types of reports?
If anyone has any info it would be greatly appreciated, I am a big fan of SQL Reporting but we are unsure if we are going to be able to use the reports on the Public side and we don't want two separate sets of reports (internal and Public).
Thanks in advance.

Hello SQL Server Experts, Data Analysts, and Report Writers et al:
re: Reporting Options with SQL Server
I wanted to propose an offshoot to the pryor thread:
Would anyone take a stab at comparing Access Reports, Crystal Reports,
Cognos or other options to all the Reporting Services and its components offered as part ofSQL Server, especially as to extracting data from SQL Server into a report format?
I guess this is a far as capabilites, ease of use, limitations, and especially formatting
or presentation of the end report product?
Thank you to all, and I hope this is a beneficial discussion to others.

I have a report with a chart that utilizes both colors and background patterns to distinguish various pieces of data.
The background patterns work great (they are very clear and provide excellent contrast) when viewed in the report viewer or printed straight from the report viewer.
However, when I export to PDF, the background patterns become compressed and small, almost to the point of being too small to distinguish that there is a pattern at all. The result ends up being what appears to be just a different shade of the background color. This is particularly a problem when you then print the PDF on paper, since hatching patterns are similar to how printers create different shades in the first place.
I am somewhat suspicious that this might have to do with resolution settings for PDF exports. If I could lower the resolution, perhaps the patterns would not become so tight and compressed. Below are examples of what I'm describing:

I want to be able to grant the ability to print and export reports in Report Manager to individual users or a group of users. I know I can disable or enable printing and exporting for all users. What I would like to do is create user groups and place everyone who needs to ability to print or export into those groups.

I need to generate a report in XML format . Expected XML format is
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns:SPO xmlns:ns="urn:abc:SparePartOrder">
<SPOrecset>
<SPOK>
<ZCODE>O</ZCODE>
<KNDNR>00009999</KNDNR>
[Code] ....
I have tried two methods to get the above XML format.
1. Modified XML Nodes - Created a stored procedure which returns the required informations from database. To get the XML format I have modified XML Nodes using DataElementName property from SSRS. I have added the
following code in rsreportserver.
<Extension Name="Custom XML" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.DataRenderer.XmlDataReport,Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataRendering">
<OverrideNames>
<Name Language="en-US">Custom XML</Name>
[Code] ...
When I run the report and export it to XML , I got the XML as given below.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Report Name="POExportToGermany">
<SPOrecset>
<SPOK_Collection>
[code] ...
Here the format is not in the expected format.
2. Using Stored Procedure:- Using Stored procedure I am able to create the expected XML format.
When i click on this link I can see the data in expected XML format. But the problem is I am not able to show this data in report. Dataset is showing the above .XML as given below. How can I generate report using SSRS with expected XML format? What are the procedures to get the above XML format.

Hi everyone,
Our system is set up using SQL Server 2000 and Reporting Services for SQL Server 2000. Our web application is built with Visual Studio 2003, C# and .Net Framework 1.1 and is a 3-tier application. On both our localhost and development builds of the application, the images that get rendered do show up properly. On our live build, the images do not.
One difference that we found is that on the live build, users do not have file permission access to our middle tier that is running reporting services. After examining the URL of where the image is trying to point to, we see that it is trying to access the middle tier from the front presentation tier.
My question is, is there a way to send a certain parameter into the Render method to have the images stored somewhere else? Any help would be greatly appreaciated. Here is the code we currently have:
ReportingService rs = new ReportingService();
rs.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
try
{
//Response.Write("Format: " + format);
if (format == "HTML4.0")
{
// Render arguments
byte[] result = null;
string historyID = null;
string devInfo = "<DeviceInfo><HTMLFragment>True</HTMLFragment></DeviceInfo>";
DataSourceCredentials[] credentials = null;
string showHideToggle = "true";
string encoding;
string mimeType;
Warning[] warnings = null;
ParameterValue[] reportHistoryParameters = null;
string[] streamIDs = null;
ParameterValue[] reportParameters = null;
SessionHeader sh = new SessionHeader();
reportParameters = new ParameterValue[5];
reportParameters[0] = new ParameterValue();
reportParameters[0].Name = "par_userID";
reportParameters[0].Value = userID;
reportParameters[1] = new ParameterValue();
reportParameters[1].Name = "par_menuID";
reportParameters[1].Value = menuID;
reportParameters[2] = new ParameterValue();
reportParameters[2].Name = "par_URL";
reportParameters[2].Value = reportURL;
reportParameters[3] = new ParameterValue();
reportParameters[3].Name = "par_startPage";
reportParameters[3].Value = startPage;
reportParameters[4] = new ParameterValue();
reportParameters[4].Name = "par_endPage";
reportParameters[4].Value = endPage;
//Clean up old files
RemoveFiles(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["tempFileLocation"]);
result = rs.Render(reportPath,
format,
historyID,
devInfo,
reportParameters,
credentials,
showHideToggle,
out encoding,
out mimeType,
out reportHistoryParameters,
out warnings,
out streamIDs);
// // For each image stream returned by the call to render,
// // render the stream and save it to the application root
// byte[] image;
// string optionalString = null;
// string tempFilePath = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["tempFileLocation"].ToString();
//
// foreach (string streamID in streamIDs)
// {
// image = rs.RenderStream(reportPath,
// "HTML4.0",
// streamID,
// null,
// null,
// reportHistoryParameters,
// out optionalString,
// out optionalString);
//
// FileStream stream = File.OpenWrite(tempFilePath + streamID + ".png");
// stream.Write(image, 0, image.Length);
// stream.Close();
// }
// Write the results to the current Web page
string htmlout = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(result);
htmlout = htmlout.Replace("<hr/>", "");
rs.Dispose();
return htmlout;
}
