In one of report i am calling sub report which independently renders in excel format without problem but when it is called in main report as SubReport in Data Table Cell in that cell its giving error message Subreports within table/matrix cells are ignored.
While rendering to PDF format it is working fine.I have problem only in excel format renderings..
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 have a dts package which is reading from a sql table and writing it to an excel file, its working fine except that I have a decimal field in the sql table but in excel file its writing it as string field.
The way I create this package is that I create a template file and I format that column to a "Number" format. Then I take this template file, rename it, export all the data to this file.
But when I open this file that decimal field is displayed as a string column and its left aligned.
I have a problem when exporting a report to Excel.
The problem is with the custom formatting. The report has a field named amount with its format property = C (on the properties window of the textbox in the report designer). When the user exports the report everything seems ok, calculations and so on... but the problem is when from another workbook a cell makes a reference to the cell amount of the exported report. The exported report, has this format [$-1010409]$#,##0.00;($#,##0.00) on the amount cell. In fact every format type of the report designer, begins with [$-1010409].
To reproduce this error:
Make a simple rdl with a textbox format C. Export it to excel. Create a new workbook and make a cell reference to the exported report formated textbox cell (='\ComputerFolder[ExportedReport.xls]Sheet1'!$E$15). Close the exported report and the new workbook, open the new workbook (not the exported one) and update the reference. Results in a #Ref error.
I have created an package in SSIS and getting some problem when i am export date from OLEDB to Excel its format getting change. I am passing date format MM/dd/yyyy and its showing yyyy-MM-dd.
I am using 'SQL Server 2005 Reporting Service' in my project. I am using sub-reports in many cases. Whenever I export such reports containing sub-reports to 'Excel' format which is the major client requirement in our project, the exported excel file shows 'Subreports within table/matrix cells are ignored.'
Can anybody tell me the solution for this? If not possible in reporting service then is there any other way to get data in excel format?
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.
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 using Reporting Services 2000. I would like to export the report to CSV format. The column header value is a field value based which can change every month(I am trying to get the current month).
For instance, the report will show CUSTNAME JAN FEB Jamie 100 200
When I Export that to CSV fiel in ASCII encoding, I get CUSTNAME Period1 Period2 Jamie 100 200
The column headers are based on datafield name.
I understand that I can set the column header from the DataElementName property. However, I need the value to be based on a datafield value.
What's the best way to export data from SQL Server to XML format. I've taken over a VB application written to carry out this task but it seems more complicated than it needs to be. Is it possible to just miss out VB and use say a DTS program instead??
I have been given a schema(XSD) file and as far as I'm aware any xml has to be formatted according to this schema.

Hi all, I need to export/generate a data file in dbf format from SQL Server 2000 table. I wonder how can this be done inside SQL Server 2000? Would DTS helps? Please advise.
Has anyone out there worked on a project to export data from a SQL Server Database into the SAS JMP file format?
I want to create an SSIS package to take snapshots of our database at regular intervals and export the data directly into a SAS JMP File. I have no idea how to go about doing this.
I have a requirement to export certain data directly in csv format from the link thats in the report interface.
Though i am able to open new window report from the link by passing the needed parameter is there any way that we can directly open the excel from the link in data table in report..
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.
