I'm developing a web app in .NET 2.0 using SSRS 2000 and 2005. Some of the reports need to be exported directly to PDF when clicked, but the problem is in the fact that the user must select the parameters from the report manager window.
Is there any way to allow the direct export to PDF when generate is clicked, or to limit the options the user has to export to in the report manager.
P.S. If it is possible, I DO NOT want to accomplish this using code.
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.
When i export data from SSRS to excel , if the textbox contains data with more than one line, in excel it comes only as a single line with same width as given in SSRS .Inside it contains data but not displaying
Hi, In my application I am exporting the 2 different tables in the report to the 2 Excel Sheets by giving page break at the first table,The first sheet is getting exported fine. The problem is ,the 2nd Sheet got exported with the report from the cell 'A2' only. (ie) The first row is blank,The export starts from the 2nd row only. What has to be done to get the excel exported in the first row itself. Please help me with this issue.
I have encountered an error when attempt to open a report which is exported to Excel using SSRS2003. It looks like this:
Microsoft Office Excel File Repair Log
Errors were detected in file 'C:Documents and SettingsTocsonEIMy DocumentsRigidReports ptRigidTransactionSummaryReport3.xls' The following is a list of repairs:
Damage to the file was so extensive that repairs were not possible. Excel attempted to recover your formulas and values, but some data may have been lost or corrupted.
At first I thought it was because of the sheer bulk of the report since when I break down a month's report to every 5 days, it would export without error. So I thought that if I can break a whole report into several worksheets using page break, it might work. Unfortunately, although I did succeed in exporting the whole report into several worksheets, I still encounter the same error. Now I have no idea on what the root of the error is. Note that the same report can be exported in other formats and can be opened without error. Except for a case when I tried opening the same report exported in XML using Excel, an error which might be related to the error above occurs which says that there's an invalid unicode character in the xml file.
Any help in determining the root of the problem and a solution to it?

I need to generate a  report in XML format . Expected XML format isÂ
   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>   <ns:SPO xmlns:ns="urn:abc:SparePartOrder">   <SPOrecset> <SPOK> <ZCODE>O</ZCODE> <KNDNR>00009999</KNDNR>
[Code] ....
I have tried two methods to get the above XML format.
1. Modified  XML Nodes - Created a stored procedure which returns the required informations from database. To get the XML format I have modified  XML Nodes using  DataElementName property from SSRS. I have added the following code in rsreportserver.
      <Extension Name="Custom XML"  Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.DataRenderer.XmlDataReport,Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataRendering">       <OverrideNames>               <Name Language="en-US">Custom XML</Name>
[Code] ...
When I run the report and export it to XML , I got the XML as given below.
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>     <Report Name="POExportToGermany">      <SPOrecset>          <SPOK_Collection>
[code] ...
Here the format is not in the expected format.
 2. Using Stored Procedure:- Using Stored procedure I am able to  create the expected XML format.Â
When i click on this link I can see the data in expected XML format. But the problem is I am not able to show this data in report. Dataset is showing the above .XML as given below. How can I generate report using  SSRS  with expected XML format?  What are the procedures to get the above XML format.
Exporting a report to Excel has a lot of issues with appearance. As a result, I created an Excel template that I would like to use when the user selects to export the report to Excel, using the reportViewer toolbar. I haven't found any documentation thus far on how to accomplish this. Does anyone know whether this is possible with SSRS and if so can you please provide information as to how it is accomplished. I have created a similar post where my application code can be reviewed: http://forums.asp.net/t/1183977.aspx
I have generated an invoice report is SSRS. It works correctly via Report Builder and the viewer. However if I then export the report to PDF, it throws the formatting of the report off.
As I have mentioned, it is an invoice report. If I print 1 invoice, and export it, everything exports correctly and all formatting is retained. However if i print off and export multiple invoices (range of Invoice 1 to 4), the 1st invoice is exported correctly, but all subsequent ones are not. In so far that where 1 invoice should be printed on 2 pages of A4 paper, it is spread over 7 pages.
The header is one page, then 1 row is on the second page, then a blank page, then another set of data on another page etc. Is it a problem with the page/report sizing/margins?
I have a requirement to transform the XML format of the SSRS report while exporting. I tried with some XSLT to implement this, but not getting desried output. Default XML format of my report is
I am using SSRS 2008 R2 and have a report set up on a subscription to be exported to a .TXT file and placed in a network drive folder. The report generates as it should and is placed in the network folder as it should and the file format is .TXT. However, when the text file is uploaded to an ftp site, the results of the very first record within the system the file is uploaded to, has 3 weird leading characters.
But the rest of the records are imported perfectly, as they should be. The system that the file is being uploaded into is not our system, it is a system at a USA Today Newspaper office and is an IBM iSeries server with the programming language of LANSA (Never heard of it).
I have edited the report server configuration file to give the ability to export the report to a .TXT file format and I have included the code snippet on here. Maybe I have missed something, not sure. I have also included the screenshot of the file upload results that were sent to me by USA Today. Is there anything I can do to get those 3 characters to not show up in the first record?

We are facing one problem while exporting the SSRS (SQL Server 2005 SP2 installed on win2K3) Report to Excel format, problem is when we export report having more than 50K rows to Excel format SSRS fails to export because it€™s a limitation of Excel that a Sheet can€™t contain more than 50K rows. This issue is resolved in Office 2007 but SSRS its own libraries to export, is there any way we can make SSRS to use office 2007 libraries to export? Has anybody faced the similar issues? would appreciate if you can give solution for this problem or forward any link which discusses the same.
I am currently exporting scheduled report in excel format via SSRS subscription and the report is getting deposited in 97-2003 (.xls)format. I am using SQL Server 2008 R2 version
Now i need to export the report in .XLSX format. What i need todo to upgrade the exporting excel version (i.e .XLS to .XLSX format ) as .XLXS version is only available from Excel 2007 and later version.
I have developed a report in ssrs 2005. While exporting the report to excel 2007, i have a problem in displaying the footer values in spreadsheet. Moreover, in the page footer of the report, i have added a few condtions so as to display one of the textbox's values in the last page alone and the rest in all of the pages! But when i look in to the page layout in excel, i get in all of the pages rather than having it in the last page.
Added to that a cell doesnt hold more than 255 characters in excel.
In a bar chart, we are using the LargeCheckerBoard as the pattern style in series properties > fill. It is showing correctly on the browser but if we export to PDF, this style(checks) are getting small and different from what shown on the browser.
I have a query in a SSRSreport that returns a value that looks like '012345'. The value looks fine on the report preview screen.
When the report is exported to excel, that value is displayed in a cell as '012345'. When I click out of the field, excel is dropping the leading zero and converting the value in the field to 12345.
Why is this happening and i have converted the value as string as well using expression.
When exporting SSRS 2008 R2 report  to an csv or excel file not all the rows are being exported. The number of rows is less then 500 and it seems to be a pretty straight forward export.
I have one SSRS report which uses drill down "+" approach. The records will be opening only when you click on the "+" sign. There are 3 levels of "+" sign in the report. All records are included when exporting to excel. Is it possible to exclude all the records? Can we show only the opened records.?
Most of our reports need to be rendered directly to PDF. And since we have multi paged reports, we have implemented document map to have navigation. while exporting to the PDF, Users want the Bookmarks to be visible by default. However, this is not the case. The bookmarks tab in the Navigation tools of Acrobat is not expanded rather we need to manually click on it to see the bookmarks. This behavior is different from Crystal Reports XIr2 where the bookmarks are defaulted to be visible when opening a PDF exported by crystal.Is there any way to replicate this behavior in SSRS too?
I am getting extra column while exporting SSRS report into excel but those columns not in my report. How to avoid these columns please find the attached screen shot with red circle.

I need to exclude the rows in yellow color when exporting to excel.
We are using SSRS 2012. We have a report that conditionally formats a background color for some cells. The report renders properly in a browser and in Excel 2003 format. In Excel format all cells after the first one that meets the condition are highlighted, even if only one cell should.
The sample expression that triggers this condition looks like this: =IIF(Fields!VIOL_NOTE.Value="Internal","Green","No Color")
All cells after the first one that meets the condition Fields!VIOL_NOTE.Value="Internal" have a green background.
Does anyone know of a link or list that has all the parameters for the "rs:" section of the URL access parameter, except for the ones in the Microsoft books?
Is it possible to write SSRS 2008 reports to run on an existing SSRS 2005 server?
If yes, what do I need to do to be able to write SSRS 2008 reports on my developer PC that will run on the SQL 2005 Server (which also has SSRS 2005 installed on it)?
I installed Visual Studio 2008 beta on the development PC and it appears that it needs SSRS installed on it too. So I installed SQL 2008 SSRS (SQL Server Reporting Services) and SQL 2008 Workstation Components onto the developer PC. Next I run the SQL 2008 "Reporting Services Configuration" tool. When I click on the "Web Service URL" section it hangs indefinitely and I have to force it closed.
The developer PC is Windows Vista Business.
Any suggestions on making this work, or any other information that you can think of that would allow me to use Visual Studio 2008 and the SQL 2008 "Report Designer Preview" tool to develop SSRS reports that will run on the SQL 2005 SSRS server?
I tried creating one simple bar chart report in SSRS, with background fill with pattern "UpwardDiagonal", the stripes on the column when viewed insider report viewer control is quite prominently visible, whereas when exporting the same report to PDF the lines are very thin and dense and hence makes it very difficult to differentiate between one column with pattern inside and one without. I have even tried various other pattern like "LightUpwardDiagonal" and "WideUpwardDiagonal" but all have same result when exported to PDF.why?
I have created SSRS report which has many overlapping objects, the output in PDF format seems to good but in word format it is not giving the required output.

I have a MSSQL database running on my SQL 2005 server and I want to export the entire contents to a file as SQL statements with INSERT statements. How do I do this?
I've discovered how to export the contents as a flat comma deliminiated file (although only one table at a time) and how to export the CREATE statements in SQL for each table but so far I cannot find a way to just export the entire DB as SQL.
