Bloated File Size - Export To Excel In SSRS 2005
Mar 22, 2007
Hi
When I export a report to XLS, I get a huge file size, and performance really takes a hit.
When I copy the Excel Data, and Paste Special - Values into a new excel, the file size shrinks considerably again.
When I export to CSV instead, the file size is halved, and the processing time comes down from 5-6 mins to 10 seconds.
I use SQl 2005 with SP2, so some of the old problems with RS2000 do not apply.
I suspect SSRS uses XML to export to excel. Is there some way I can get over this problem?
TIA

Hi,
I have created a report in SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services. After I export it to Excel format, if I try to print it (Hardcopy), my Excel crashes. It shows an error and shut down. I'm using Excel 2000. It even shows me same error when I click on "Print Preview", in Excel.
Everytime I try to print the excel worksheet, a window pops up with the heading "Visual Studio Just-in-Time Debugger". The error is: "An unhandled win32 exception occurred in EXCEL.EXE [3460]".
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi All,
We are using the SSRS 2005 for developing reports. In that I have some problems/doubts.
My problems are:
I developed / designed the report using the SSRS 2005. And I uploaded the reports in to the report server. I can able to view the reports in the preview section as well thro the browser.
Problem 1:
Reports are having the huge amount of data (For: report is having > 800 Pages). So, when ever I am trying to export in to EXCEL that time I am getting MemoryOutOfException. If I having the less number of pages that time I getting the result. How I can export the report into excel with out MemoryOutOfException.
Problem 2:
Some Excel sheets are having more data for ex: 75000. In EXCEL it self we are having the limitation we can not create more than 65536 rows per sheet. So If I want to export these 75000 records into excel how I do it.
Problem 3:
For delivering the reports I am using file share subscription method in SSRS. For example my reports are having the huge amount of data. That time I getting the following status in report server €œFailure writing file Weekly Install Base Report @timestamp: An error occurred during rendering of the report.€?"
Software Platform:
1. SQL Server Reporting Services 2005
2. SQL Server 2000 Data base
3. Microsoft Office 2003
Thanks

We are experiencing problems with reporting services built-in Export to Excel. Basically, the columns get wrapped in Excel, which frustrates users who need to pivot and sort(ie the point of downloading to Excel). Is there a method for removing the column wrapping? Please help

I need some help. I am writing a report in SSRS 2005 that I then need to export to Excel. When I put a report header I would expect the header to not display in the Excel spreadsheet until the Print Preview or the Print. The report footer works just fine I put some text in the footer, and it shows up in the footer. The header though, shows up as a row in the Excel spreadsheet that then causes columns to merge. How do I get the report header to act like a page header?

I am getting an error: "Damage to the file was so extensive that repairs were
not possible. Excel attemted to recover your formulas and values, but
some data may have been lost or corrupted." in some instances when
exporting toexcel.
The report is no different than any othere report. This report uses rectagles and text boxes to control layout with two tables but it's pretty straight forward. This only happens for this particular report when exported only to Excel. I am using SQL2005 SP1.
Any ideas, thoughts, or references are welcome.

I've created an rdl and already deployed it on the report server, when I render the report to excel, I've noticed some problems regarding the header/footer, I've noticed that after the rendering process, SSRS put an extra character (space) before the left header/footer.
Please help me on how am I going to solve this problem, or any workaround on how to solve this.
Any reply are highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I created a report with multiple line per group and detail. When I export the report to Excel it expands all of the drill downs. Report with a single group and detail line exports to Excel and shows the drill downs for you to either expand or collapse. Is there a way to have multiple group and / or details and have Excel show the drill downs?

Hi...
I am creating an application where I need to export the reportviewer data into formatted excel sheet.
Ex excel sheet should have formatting-
1-Column width set to 8.3
2-Wrap text turned OFF
3-Left Justify all fields
4-Landscape default for orientation.
If I apply these formatting into the .rdl files then it is going to be applicable for all other formats
like csv,xml etc but I don't want to apply these fomatting except the excel report.
I think if I can trap any event when export button is clicked when excel is selected from dropdown menu
then it is going to solve the problem a little bit.
I need this solution as soon as possible.
Regards

I am having difficulty in exporting a report to Excel that has drill-down grouping created in SSRS 2008 R2. I can export with the report expanded or with just the summary and both look fine, but when it gets to Excel it looses the toggle ability which I need for it to retain.

We mark cells in  a report using color names like red, pink, and transparent in the fill expression. In the browser it works correctly. When exported to Excel the colors go to the wrong cells. This worked correctly in SSRS 2008.Â

I've created a dts package that exports data to an excel. The data exports okay, but I'd like to make a few changes on how the data is exported.
First, when the data exports to the excel file, it always creates a new excel sheet. How can I map the data to the existing sheet in the Excel file? I have an existing sheet named 'Sheet1'. I've deleted the other two sheets in the excel file, so there is only one sheet. When I created the destination table in the dts package for the data transformation task, I specified the name as 'Sheet1', but when it exports, it creates a new sheet named 'Sheet11'. I haven't been able to correct this.
Second, I'd like to either ammend data to the last row in the excel file, which I'd have to know the last record that was inserted from the SQL table. Or probably much easier, simply drop the existing sheet in the excel file and simply re-create and insert.
How can I do this?
Thanks,
-D-

I need to do a simple task. I have a oledb source which pulls data from sql server, creates an excel file abc.xls and dumps it with the Excel destination at remote location.
I need to create this file at runtime. However, when i give the location, the Excel Destination expects the file to be there for the Mapping of the source columns with destination ones.
My tasks are
1. Creating a table for the worksheet in Excel connection
2. Select from source table and write in Excel Destination
Will appreciate your response.

I can't find the answer to these problems. I'm using SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition. I have a report with 15,036 rows and about 15 columns. It utilizes a table and a report header and footer. One column has data containing hyperlinks to another report.
1) When I export this report to Excel, the result is 14.2MB file. Why is this file so huge, and how can I make it smaller?
2) Is there anything I can do to prevent the inclusion of the hyperlinks in the exported Excel file?
Thanks,
Rosie

I have to export about 50 excel files from different tables. Some tables contain leading 0s in the columns. If I use bcp to export to xls file, the leading 0s will be missing. If bcp to csv or txt file, there will be no issue at all. But I have to export to xls file in order to let client update that xls file and reload to tables again.
Is there any other ways to do this task?
Thanks in advance.
