This seems like a simple Microsoft Based Reporting System 101 feature...But I can not find out how to do it (among other things that seem like it should work with Microsoft rendering to Microsoft).
How do I make the SSRS 2005 Header for the Report print on each of the pages in excel once it is rendered from SSRS?
All I want is an answer by MSFT that says "YES" it can be done and how or "No" it is not currently available.
I noticed I am not the only one with this type of simple question:

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 use RS2000 SP2. I would like to set table header to Print titles option when export a report to excel. I try to create text boxes in stead of table on Page header area. This way seems good, however, this way is difficult for preventing merged cell problem.
Does anyone know good solution? Does it solve at RS2005?
Hi, This is because there are many columns need to display ,when users export to excel ,now they have to manually adjust the worksheet as one page(width and hight) . Therefore,as the title,can anyone help me?
Does anyone know of a way to keep from exporting a page header when rendering in Excel. We have a default header (title and logo) that I would like to suppress so that users don't need to delete the rows prior to sorting (to eliminate merged cells).
Is there a way to avoid exporting the page header to Excel (or any other renderer). My reports seem to lose their charm without the headers (setting Print on First/Last Page to false), and at the same time, the users don't want the headers exported to Excel.
I have a report that I need to reference data in my Page Header. I am referencing 2 data fields in my report body to do this. The report will render fine and the data is present in my Pager Header; however, when I export to Excel, the data is missing; only my labels are present. What's even stranger is that it works just fine if I export to a PDF file.
Below is the expression code from one of the fields in my Page Header :
="From: " & ReportItems!dtBegDate.Value
Again, the report will render fine and my data is present. It only comes up blank when I export to Excel. The only part of the data that makes it over is the text (i.e. "From:")
There was a requirement to have the table header as part of frozen rows in excel when exported because there are about 1000 rows in the report and the column header has to be retained during scrolling. Since only page headers will be frozen in excel export, the text boxes was copied from the table header row to the page header. After all text boxes were copied, the table header row was removed. After modifying the report, I noticed that the excel export report took more than half an hour for exporting the data. I tried to reproduce the problem in a sample and I was able to reproduce it using AdventureWorks data source. This report before modifying takes 1 minutes to export. After moving all the column headers to page header, it takes 25 minutes to export. Has anybody faced this issue and is there any solution for this performance problem? Thank you. Here are the steps to reproduce:
1. Create a new data source for AdventureWorks database 2. Create a new report with the AdventureWorks data source and with the query 'SELECT * FROM Person.Contact' 3. Run the report and export in excel format and note down the time taken for the same - Approx it will less than a minute. 4. Open the report layout and include a page header (Report->Page Header) and move the title from body to the page header. 5. Select each column header, copy the cell and paste in the page header and align it with the column in the body. Alternatively, a new textbox for each column can be created and arranged in the page header. (As a result, there are 16 textboxes in the page header). 6. Now, run the report and export in excel format and note down the time taken and please notice that it takes 25 minutes. 7. Delete some of the text boxes in the page header, the excel export takes less time and is dependent on the number of textboxes in the page header.

I have a report that I created and the report was working until I added some fields to a group footer row in a table.
My table has 5 group levels. I had information displaying in the 5th level header group and detail. It was working fine. Then I added some fields to the 4th level group footer. Now it displays only the Page header, Table header, and the 4th level group footer data.
What happened to the rest of the data?
All the cells and rows I want to display have the Visibility Hidden set to false. I tried removing the objects I added (to the 4th level group footer) and it still does not work. Is this a bug or did I set something that is hiding the data.
There is a one header in the report, when I publish and hit the report in IE(internet explor) the header appears fine on first page when I go to next page this header does not appear.
But in mozilla the header is visible on every page of the report. so it is working fine in mozilla.
How can I print a field that is in the dataset on each page? I added a textbox in the Page Header and use =Fields!ProjectName.value in the value property. I got an error "Fields cannot used in page header and footer."
How can I have the table header shows on each page? Currently if the data goes to the second page, there is no table header.
Hello, If I have a report that includes a page header, the report viewer will render the report at the full width, but if I hide the page header and show only the body it will use the absolute width of the report.
I have a 7" wide report, with .75" borders set on each side.
Interactive & Print size are set to 8.5x11 Changing these sizes has no effect on the behavior of the viewer, which appears to ignore them.
When I view this report in the local viewer the contents fill the window if there is no page header. If I enable the page header then the report is drawn at 8.5" wide, leaving a _big_ white border on the right side. Any comments or workarounds that anyone knows? I know the local viewer is not a standard configuration (at least it seems) but it is what we need to use.Thanks,//Andrew
When i view the Report from SSRS Report preview Tab it's working fine, But when i deploy that and try to view in the IE I am seeing the Body background color in between the image and page border of the page footer how to solve that?
In SRSS 2005 (SP2) my page header seems to take up the same amount of space on the 1st page it would take if it were to print; I have PRINT ON FIRST PAGE set to false - the header doesn't print - it just leaves the same amount of space. How do you get the report to ignore that. I do have a report header built into the body of my report. I have tested this by increasing the size of my page header and it does move the report up or down on the 1st page by that amount.
my report generates most than a page, i want sent the parameters and render only the fist page , the if i need the other when the number page chage the control render the nex page, how i can do it, this because in this moment the control render all the report and the show it , and sometimes i have to wait to long time to see it
I have a requirement that I'm having a difficult time figuring out.
I have a number of subreports, 27 of them, and I need to put them all on a single report, and have each one render on a separate page. Each of them I can be sure is a single page - how do I force a page break after each subreport?
I've been trying a number of strategies, tables, lists, rectangles, etc, with no luck...
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
I think I know the answer but I have a report that is supposed to print in Ledger. It has a header that has report information on the left and on the right has page count and date run. When the user resizes the page to letter, only the first part of the header shows (left piece with report information). Instead of resizing the header it seems it truncates it. Is there a way to resize it. If I move the right side over it looks centered on the Ledger size.
I developed a java proxy application for SSRS(Sql Server Reporting services) and able to render the reports by making webservice calls to SSRS webservices. But I am getting the data for the complete report. How can I get only a partial report( like page by page as we get in the Report Manager)? Which parameters should I pass. As some of the reports are too big, the java application is getting memory issues and I want to limi the data that I get from SSRS.
I am trying to render a Report in HTML4.0 format using ReportExecution2005 web service's Render method. When I use this, I am getting all the results in a single page. I want to display the results page by page as ReportViewer control does. Is there any way to get the total number of pages of the Result using Render() web method?
Under a report server project, I created a table and used it to display a dataset drawn from a database (SQL Server 2005). And I set the "NoRows" property of this table to something like: "= "Customer: " & Parameters!CustomerID.Value & " does not exist in database.". I deployed the report on a report server, run it and exported to Excel. If there were no data returned, the Excel will display the non-exist message as designed. But if I export the same report again without re-run the report, the message will disappear. Looks like a bug?
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.
I am having a main report having two subreports, say M1,S1 and S2 respectively.
The issue is S2 normally tend to go beyond one page, for all pages except first page of the of the subreport I am getting the page header and footer blank,
Actually this is not loading the ReportItems that are used in main report but it shows text boxes containing strings for eg . "My Name" and date functions eg Today()
I am wondering if anyone knows how to change the sheet names in Excel when exporting a report from Reporting Services 2005. In other words, I have a report with approximately 5 page breaks built in. When I render the report to Excel, it creates the 5 sheets as I expect, but it names them "Sheet1", "Sheet2", "Sheet3" etc... Is there a way to specify the name of the sheets? I am currently using a different table in my report for each sheet, but I am open to structuring this differently if needed.
I know the function of being able to set a section of a report to print at the bottom of the page, but does anyone know any work arounds for this? I have a main report (statement) which ive done a work around, to include the details i need at the bottom of the page into the footer, but then i have a second report (invoice) that needs to be included as subreport, which also needs infomation at the bottom of the page, but as its a subreport, sql reports does not allow for footer/header infomation in a subreport.
Unfortuantly i can not split the two reports out as they need to be printed together.
Any help/recomendations would be greatly received.

I need to show the logo and some other details (introduction page) when printing a report. What is the best way of doing this? I need the introduction page to be printed on a separate page followed by the report itself.
Is it possible to show the introduction page only when user prints report?
