I have a sum on a reportitems cell in my header:
=Sum(ReportItems!textbox1.Value)
When I run the report, it looks excellent. My issue is when I export it. When I export to Excel, it looks just like it did.
When I export to PDF, it gives me a total per page, not for the report.
Does ReportItem behave differently when rendered between excel and PDF? Or is it because I am putting a SUM on a ReportItems cell?
Hi,
I have two RDL files, one is main.rdl, the other one is sub.rdl.
In the body of main.rdl, I threw in a subreport that links to sub.rdl. Follow by the subreport is a table, in which has a textbox called mytitle. In the page footer, I added one text box that references to mytitle by using ReportItems!mytitle.Value.
When this report rendered in HTML or PDF format, it worked fine. However, when exporting to excel format, it failed. I figured it is because there isn't a ReportItem in the subreport called mytitle. I tried adding a dummy textbox into the subreport and called it mytitle, but again, no luck.
Did anyone ever encounter the same problem? Is there a work around way?
Thanks,
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?

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).
Thanks,

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.
Any input will be appreciated. Thanks.
I've added a hidden field to my report so I can show the value in the page header using ReportItems. However it only works for the first page - the value is blank on subsequent pages. Does the hidden field need to appear on all pages of the report? Would I need to make it a hidden field in a repeated list or table?
View 8 Replies View RelatedHi,
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 recall this is possible in MS Access forms/reports, but am unable to find it in RS.
I'm thinking of Disclaimers, Company Logo etc...

The issue I am encountering is exporting to PDF. If the report spans multiple pages, in PDF the image only shows up on the first page..and broken on all other pages.

Hey guys,,
Well im new at this SSIS stuff and i have something that i am trying to do, but cannot get it to work.. Ill try to explain, and if anyone can help me or point me in the right direction it would be much appriciated..
I have 2 tables, one header table. and one lines table. This is a one - to -many relationship.. ie 1 header, many lines.. This is a Order Header, and Order Lines table setup.. Order header has Order numbers and and email address field that link to the lines table by order number. I also have a view which links all this info together.
I would like to export a excel file (preferable named from the order number column - but that can come later) for each order number in the header table. The excel file will contain the details from the View that was created. I want this to loop through all the header records in the header table and create a excel file for each one..
Down the track i want to add a send mail task to this and pass the email address to a variable so i can use it in the send mail task.. But ill get the main part working first..
Anyhelp would be more than helpful.. I tried to set this up, but i am stuck on the enumerator part..
thanks again, scotty
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.
Any assistance is appreciated.
Is there a way for the rdl to make a header/title and make it to be displayed in the excel header when exported?
View 6 Replies View RelatedJust attempting to import a simple tab delimited text file into my SQL Server 2005 database using the SQL Server Import and Export wizard. Column names are specified within the first line of the file. The Header Rows to Skip field value is listed as 0, but the wizard indicates that "The field, Header rows to skip, does not contain a valid numeric value".
Why isn't zero (0) a valid numeric value? I don't want to skip any rows. PLUS, I get the same error when trying to export to a text file although the header rows to skip field does not exist. I can increase the number to 1 or more, but the wizard will skip part of my data .. unacceptable.
What am I missing here? I installed SP1 of SQL server 2005, but that did not help.

Hi All
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.
Thanks

View 3 Replies View RelatedHas anyone else had this issue? Let me explain...
NOTE: Excel 07' is installed on my machine, but saved file as Excel 97-03
SSIS package-
-Execute sql task with sql statement that drops table (drop table [sheet1])
-Execute sql task with sql statement to create table
-Data flow task to send some rows to excel sheet
Running this package over and over will keep appending rows to the excel sheet.
Upon further examination I'm noticing that the drop table excecute sql task is only deleting the header record.
I know this used to work when I only had the previous version of excel installed on my machine.
Any ideas?
Is this a problem when working with Excel 2007 in compatibility mode?
I'm about to just delete the file altogether and re-create it.
We have a process here that produces several dozen Excel Spreadsheets every day from SQL Server using the bcp utility. the problem is that we cannot include the column headers when producing the Output. We are therefore trying to find a method where we can append the column Headers to the Spreadsheets; is there a way of doing this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedFolks,
I am running into an issue while trying to export data to a spreadsheet. I actually don't know how to do it... Considering I only know the column names by the time I execute my procedure, I can't use the Excel Destination to export data.
With DTSs I would create an ActiveX script to execute the procedure which loads the results into a temp table. After that I would select everything from this temp table and load the results into a record set, looping through this record set to create the destination spreadsheet with the dynamic column names.
When it comes to SSIS we are advised to write vb.net scripts instead of ActiveX... These ones do not have records set's but dataset's, which at first glance are only applicable to xml and not xls files (when I try to define a variable as a dataset in my vb.net code, I face a message saying: Missing reference required to assembly System.Xml...).
How I would create this spreadsheet using a vb.net code in SSIS packages? Please, help...
Thank you.
Hi,

Hello Microsoft or Forum Members:
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:

Thank You guys!
For the past couple of days I've been having an issue with Reporting Services. From what I can understand reporting services doesn't work well when exporting to word.
The scenario is quite simple, I am developing a report for a client with a 'master page', which works as the cover, and executes 2 sub-reports with one table each, nothing fancy. We don't export this report to pdf, because the internal client has to attach another report that is impossible to automate, so they generate that report via excel and integrate it on our word document before sending the document to their business partners.
Our main problem is that we can't export the header/footers to word.
Does anyone know the logic that Enterprise Manager/SQL Server uses to distinguish system objects from user objects. I've looked through all the sysobjects in the database and there doesn't seem to be any unique logic for seperating all objects. User tables are easily distinguished from system tables (U/S) but thats not the case with stored procedures and views. I'm looking for suggestions...
Thanks,

While trying to set up an unpivot transformation to load data from excel (2003) into sql server db, the dates as column headers get lost in the translation.
To simplify the problem I created a very simple package with an excel source and an excel destination.
The test Excel Source looks like
ID 1/1/2008 3/1/2008 5/1/2008
A 5 7 9
B 10 12 24
After running the package The destination looks like this:
ID F4 F5 F6
A 5 7 9
B 10 12 24
I need to keep the dates since I am loading a large volume of data often.
Any suggestions?
Hello all,
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:")
I'm at a loss on this. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Karl
I have a tablix report (SSRS 2008) when I render it in excel my client always need to see the row headers as fixed one i.e when he/she scrolls report from row 20 scrolling should begin and always want to see first 20 row and next should be scrolling. Is this possible.
View 3 Replies View RelatedA space was added as the first character of the contents in the Left, Center and Right section of the Report Header and Footer exported to Excel. Example :
In the RDL, Header values are:
Left = "Product Report" ; Center = "Confidential" ; Right = "Page n of n"
In the exported report to Excel, Header properties (-->File.-->Page Setup--> Header/Footer Tab) are:
Left = " Product Report" ; Center = " Confidential" ; Right = " Page n of n"
Is there a way to eliminate that space character?
