Excel Export Error In RS200SP2 When Nesting Tables Within Matirx
Dec 5, 2006
I was hoping someone could help out with this issue....I've got a report I created in Reporting Services 2000 SP2 where I am nesting table elements within the row and detail sections of the matrix. This allows me to have multiple items within my "row" data with column headings, and works perfectly fine within the designer, and viewer, and whenever I export it to any format other than Excel. Exporting to excel results in a "Specified cast is not valid" error.
To me this seems to be a bug in the Excel rendering extension, since it seems to be supported in RDL. Has anyone else run into this? Is there a fix to the renderer or a workaround that anyone is aware of?
I'd be happy to post the RDL if anyone is interested.
I am new to this forum and I dont know much about MS SQL Server and SQL Language at all. Anyway, I just wrote a SQL Script (Query) that pulls one sql table from a large database. Because I need this script for many similar cases (only one parameter changes), I will write a java program which produces the specific sql code with respect to the particular situation. Thus my Query will produce many tables. How can automate to export each of them in an excel? It can not be the case that I have to build a excel file for each sql-table manually. The SQL Script should produce the excel file automaticly.
My question for short:
"select * from final"
how can i export the resulting table to an excel file (which should be built by ms sql server in exactly this moment)?
Anyone know why cells within a matrix that are formatted as numeric export to Excel with a cell format proprty of "General"? Cells within a table however export with an appropriate format.

No Error but Export to Excel does not finish When the report has 2 pages with total 500 rows exporting to Excel is not a problem. If it has 100 pages 5000 rows exporting to excel does not end and it does not return any error but the process does not end either. What might the problem be?
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
I have created a Report using Sql Server 2005 Reporting Services. It's a matrix report. When I try to download the report to excel, it gives me the message "
Data Regions within table/matrix cells are ignored.
Hi I generate a report successfully in SQL reporting services . I goto the http://localhost/Reports link and I select the report I want and it renders in the browser window. Once the report is generated I then select the export option to export it to excel
I then get this error message( see below) after waiting about 20 mins or longer for the excel file to be generated. There is a lot of data in this report . There is 1240 pages and there is about 50 rows for each page. That makes it 62000 rows in the report.
I'm using excel 2007 on my pc. I've updated sql server 2005 to sp2. Is there some limitation to the amount of data you can export to excel.??
Looking at the errors in the logfiles on the server I see I got the error
Connection_Dropped DefaultAppPool . This seems to be an IIS related error after searching for it on the internet.
Is there some setting I can change in IIS to handle the extra volume of data.
After doing some more tests I can export the reports that have small amounts of data to excel.
However I keep getting this timeout problem when the volume of data gets quite large.
I also noticed that when the reports server is trying to export the report to an excel file you can't access the url of any other website hosted by IIS on that particular server.
any ideas?
Or is there any known limitations in doing the above??
thanks in advance

Hi , I am facing constant errors while trying to do a simple Export from SQl server database table to Excel File. I am unable to Do any mapping from teh table to the Excel File , if the Column Headers in teh Excel File are not present. Do you have any inputs on how to proceed with the Data Transfer, without having any headers in the Excel File. My requirement doesnt need to have Column headers in teh Excel.
Hi, My server configuration is Intel Xeon(R) X5355 @ 2.66GHz, 3.75 GB RAM Win 2k3
I have been receiving the above mentioned error when I try to use the out of the box feature of "Export To Excel" provided in the Reporting Services, the reports are hosted on MOSS 2007 using the Reporting Services Add-In. The number of pages generated by the report is 500+, so I don't think exporting a report of around 500 - 1000 should give out a memory exception since we have sufficient RAM on the server.
I have sort of a weird error when attempting to create a database in SQL 2005 (migrating from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005).
I am able to run the CREATE PROC script just fine in SQL 2000, but I get this error in SQL 2005.
Msg 191, Level 15, State 1, Procedure udf_JCMS_ConcurrencyCheck, Line 2518 Some part of your SQL statement is nested too deeply. Rewrite the query or break it up into smaller queries
I can't easily past up the whole script(it's 2655 lines), but it basically takes the following form:
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.Ugly ( @PK1 int, @PK2 int, @PK3 int, @TableID int, @UpdateBy char(30), @LastUpdate datetime ) RETURNS BIT
DECLARE @UpdatedStatus as bit DECLARE @RecordCount as smallint
SET @RecordCount = 0 If @TabelID = 1-- Comment about TableName BEGIN
SELECT @RecordCount =count(UNIQUE_ID) FROM dbo.MyTable WHERE UNIQUE_ID = @PK1 ANDPROXY_ID = @PK2 ANDLTRIM(RTRIM(ISNULL(LAST_UPDATE_BY,'')))= LTRIM(RTRIM(ISNULL(@UpdatedBy,''))) AND ( isnull(LAST_UPDATE_DATE,'') = isnull(@UpdatedDt,'') or convert(datetime,convert(varchar(10),LAST_UPDATE_D ATE,101) + ' ' + convert(char(8), LAST_UPDATE_DATE,8)) = @UpdatedDt ) END
If @TableID = 2 -- Comment about TableName BEGIN . . . END
If @TableID = 3 -- Comment about TableName BEGIN . . . END
...
If @TableID = 156 -- Comment about TableName BEGIN . . . END
IF @RecordCount = 0 SET @UpdatedStatus = 1 ELSE SET @UpdatedStatus = 0
RETURN @UpdatedStatus
First, THIS IS NOT MY CODE.
Second, it appears that they are trying to create a function to test if a record has been updated (I cut out a bit of that).
I don't really get why SQL 2005 throws an error here. Yes, the code is hideous and not something that I would write myself. But it's not like the function is calling itself recursively or anything.
I have a ssrs report having 2 tables in with 4 columns in each. When I go to export option in preview I can see all data coming in one excel sheet, But I am trying to get 2 tables in 2 different pages in Excel when I export.First page of excel comes with first table data with 4 columns and second page of excel comes with second table data with 4 columns .
When I open the spreadsheet in Excel 2000, it works fine. When I try to print, it crashes Excel. In testing, I narrowed it down to the Header/Footer, because it also crashes when I go to Page Setup and click on the header/footer tab.
However, I can print the same spreasheet from Excel 2007.
Am I just dealing with a "you need to upgrade all your clients" situation, or is there a known issue with certian formatting that is passed out with reports that is not supported by older versions of Excel?
I am using Reporting Services 2005 SP2 to serve up the report that is exported to Excel.
Hi, This is a very detailed question, I hope this is the best forum to address it. It is more related to general ODBC access, and less to SQL Server data access.
Calling all ODBC experts!
I am a developer using an ODBC toolkit to connect to my companies metadata management product, which in turn communicates to SQL Server, Oracle, DB2 and other databases. The ODBC toolkit we are using is very old, and has been very stable in accessing data with clients such as Access, Excel, Visio and others. It is a read-only ODBC driver that does not support a lot of advanced query and data manipulation features, such as catalog.
I'm using Visual Studio 2005 to debug the ODBC calls that Excel is making when attempting to load data through the External Data Wizard. The Excel version I am using is 2003. The method that I am using to attempt to load data is with 'Data | Import External Data | Import Data'. When that dialog appears, I select 'New Source...' then 'ODBC DSN'. I then select my DSN and click Next.
At this point, I get back the error 'unable to obtain a list of tables from the datasource'.
What is frustrating is, if I do 'Data | New Database Query' and use MSQuery to load the data, everything works fine.
As I mentioned I am using VC2005 and debugging, I believe the problem has to do with the capabilities of our driver and the columns that Excel is binding to return data. In this call, Excel is binding two columns - Table Qualifer (
TABLE_QUALIFIER (1)) and Remarks (TABLE_REMARKS(5)). Our driver does not support qualifiers, so we return a NULL for that value:
case TABLE_QUALIFIER:
fSqlTypeIn = SQL_CHAR;
rgbValueIn = NULL;
cbValueIn = SQL_NULL_DATA;
Excel makes the SQLTables() call, which successfully returns the entire list of tables from our server product. It then attempts to SQLBind the two columns I mentioned above. The first call to SQLFetch returns with SQL_SUCCESS but the ODBCGetData call fills the QUALFIER column with a NULL. So obviously, Excel doesn't like this value and then ends up quiting and displaying the message above (I think....) This is confirmed by looking at the ODBC trace calls:
So I began to examine the GetInfo calls. There are probably 100 or so that Excel makes. Anything related to qualifiers or cataloging seems to indicate (according to MSDN) that we do not support it. So my thinking was, if Excel properly identifies that we don't support qualifers, why does it attempt to bind the column? Is this a flaw in Excel, or are there some other GetInfo properties that I am not properly setting?
The attributes I am setting (that seem related) are:
Looking at ODBC trace logs, the only GetInfo values that Excel is quering is SQL_QUALIFIER_LOCATION, SQL_QUALIFIER_TERM and SQL_QUALIFIER_USAGE. According to the MSDN documentation, an application is supposed to query SQL_CATALOG_NAME to determine if catalogs are supported. I know it is not, because I don't see it in the ODBC trace log, or my breakpoints in VC2005 are never hit.
I realize this is a HUGE question. I hope that I came across clear and that my question is understandable. I guess what it comes down to is - (maybe some Excel engineers can answer this one) - is this method of loading data into Excel require a Table Qualifier? If not, how can I configure my settings so that it asks for Table Name (as MsQuery does) instead?
Thank you so much for your time and consideration!
I've been googling this for a while now and can't seem to find any elegant answers.
I'm looking for an automated way to present a FORMATED Excel Spreadsheet to the Customer from a stored procedure output.
Can anyone advise me the best method of doing this - should I / can I assign an Excel Template to the DTS Task output ?
His mind is set on Excel and the formatting is basic and easy to write in a Macro which I've done, but this requires human interaction to finish the task (Automated Run Once on opening etc).
In an ideal world an individual would send an email to the Server with two formated parameters (@FromDate & @ToDate) and would be emailed back a ready formatted S/Sheet. But I believe he would be willing to just select the relevant SpreadSheet for the Daily / Weekly / Monthly periods dumped.
I'm working on an ASP.Net project where I want to test code on a localmachine using a local database as a back-end, and then export it tothe production machine where it uses the hosting provider's SQL Serverdatabase on the back-end. Is there a way to export tables from oneSQL Server database to another in such a way that if a table alreadyexists in the destination database, it will be updated to reflect thechanges to the local table, without existing data in the destinationtable being lost? e.g. suppose I change some tables in my localdatabase by adding new fields. Can I "export" these changes to thedestination database so that the new fields will be added to thedestination tables (and filled in with default values), without losingdata in the destination tables?If I run the DTS Import/Export Wizard that comes with SQL Server andchoose "Copy table(s) and view(s) from the source database" and choosethe tables I want to copy, there is apparently no option *not* to copythe data, and since I don't want to copy the data, that choice doesn'twork. If instead of "Copy table(s) and view(s) from the sourcedatabase", I choose "Copy objects and data between SQL Serverdatabases", then on the following options I can uncheck the "CopyData" box to prevent data being copied. But for the "CreateDestination Objects" choices, I have to uncheck "Drop destinationobjects first" since I don't want to lose the existing data. But whenI uncheck that and try to do the copy, I get collisions between theproperties of the local table and the existing destination table,e.g.:"Table 'wbuser' already has a primary key defined on it."Is there no way to do what I want using the DTS Import/Export Wizard?Can it be done some other way?-Bennett
I've built a fairly straight forward report in RS that looks normal in preview mode and in PDF format with out any issues.But when I export it to Excel report header is not appearing in each page.Any ideas as to why this is occurring?thanks in advance,Ramesh KS
Hello All, I'm simply exporting data from SQL to Excel via the Export Data feature in SQL Management Studio.My problem is I have a column aliased as [ID #] and when it exports it changes the Pound Sign into a decimal -> ID .SPACE(25) As [ID#], It's not a major problem but does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks, Kyle
Hi there I know its possible to export data from a gridview to excel. I'm looking to export data directly from a stored procedure at the click of a button.Somebody suggested using the following:insert into OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'Excel 8.0;Database=C: esting.xls;', 'SELECT * FROM [SheetName$]') select * from table-nameWhen I tried executing the above lines of codes I got the following error message:"Ad hoc access to OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' has been denied. You must access this provider through a linked server." If anyone has any idea whats wrong ... plssssssssssssssssssss ... let me know .... Thanks in advance.
I have a job which produces a daily report and exports it to excel. However, instead of overwriting the contents of the file the data is being appended to the file. Any suggestions welcome.
I'm trying to export to excel using dts, but using a stored procedure where i have a query using temporary tables (#D,#T,#R) and the result is a table with a variable number of columns (sometimes 3 columns and sometimes 10 columns)
I want to run Stored procedure that is returning recordsets and is using cursors/ temporary tables (MS Sql 2000 Server). The output of this SP is to be used to prepare an excel Report.
It shows me the data in the Preview, but asks me to define transformations. Further on the transformations, it does not shows up the source columns (although they were populated in the preview)
When I perform the same task using DTS Export utility, i get the following error:
Error source: MS ole db provider for sql server Error Desc : Null Accessors are not supported by this provider context: error calling CreateAccessor. Your provider does not support all the interface/methods required by DTS
1. I created a spreadsheet named test.xls with the column headings from my temp table 2. Saved and closed this xls 3. Tried to run the following:
USE [PEI]; GO INSERT INTO OPENROWSET ('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'Excel 8.0;Database=C:DELL est.xls;', 'SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]') SELECT * FROM tblCFPooled GO
Where C:DELL est.xls is where I saved test.xls, tblCFPooled is the table I have populated in the firstplace and PEI is the database name.
When I run this the following error crops up:
OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "(null)" returned message "The Microsoft Jet database engine could not find the object 'Sheet1$'. Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly.". Msg 7350, Level 16, State 2, Line 1 Cannot get the column information from OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "(null)".
I then found something on a different site: http://www.mssqltips.com/tip.asp?tip=1202
So based on this I tried:
insert into OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'Excel 8.0;Database=C:DELL est.xls;', 'SELECT * FROM [T$]') select * from tblCFPooled
And obtained the following error:
OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "(null)" returned message "The Microsoft Jet database engine could not find the object 'T$'. Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly.". Msg 7350, Level 16, State 2, Line 1 Cannot get the column information from OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "(null)".
(I renamed the sheet1 to T if you are wondering where T$ comes in!)
Before running either of these 'export' queries I did as instructed in the first link: EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1; GO RECONFIGURE; GO EXEC sp_configure 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries', 1; GO RECONFIGURE; GO
Which produced results: Configuration option 'show advanced options' changed from 0 to 1. Run the RECONFIGURE statement to install. Configuration option 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries' changed from 0 to 1. Run the RECONFIGURE statement to install.
I assumed from that I had successfully enabled Ad Hoc Distributed Queries - Is that correct?
Both methods seem to throw up a similar error, an error which makes me think its some kind of SQL authentication issue.
Has anyone successfully exported from SQL to Excel - if so, any tips?!
(For the record I am using Management Studio, we are running SQL Server 2005, I am doing all this on a Vista Business machine, the SQL server is on a local server on our network here. )
I have a report when I run that report if the result is span for multiple page the table header is displaying for each page.When exported to PDf it is displaying the table header for each page.but when we export to Excel the table headers are not displaying.Any work around for this.
Hi , I have a simple report which i want to export to excel format. the are no groups in the report. I need each page of the report to appear as a seperate page in excel. currently when i export the report i get a single continuous page. is there any way in which i can do this ????
I have some reports that I used vbcrlf in. Whenever they are exported to Excel only the first line appears.
Ex: Name (&vbcrlf) Address 1 (& vbcrlf) Address 2 (& vbcrlf) City, State, Zip
This exports to Excel and displays the name line only. However, if I close the file that was exported and the extra blank screen, and hit export to excel again for a second time, all of the information is displayed.
