Exporting To Excel With Certain Print Features Enabled
Mar 17, 2008
Hi, I am using SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services to export several reports to Excel. I have been able to get around the column merging issue but there are still a few things I still need to do:
Add filters to the column header row. I haven't seen where this can be set in RS. Is there a way to do this?
Set up the spreadsheet to print a certain way. I have set the page orientation and size, along with margins and a header which repeats on each printed page. What I haven't been able to do is:
Repeat the column headers on each page
Shrink the table so it fits one page width. I have narrowed the column widths but there are too many columns to fit on one page so it needs to be shrunk down.
Add page numbers to the printed report. I tried adding it to the header and footer but I only get page 1 of 1 on each page.
Can anyone help me on any of these issues?
My alternative is to create a custom rendering extension but I would rather extend the existing one. Is that possible? How can it be done? I checked out OfficeWriter but I really didn't see anything for the printing side of things, unless I missed something.

Hi
I'm experiencing the following problem:
When I export my report to excel then open up the Print Preview in Excel, the table headers are not printed on each page, only on the first. I have ticked the "Repeat header rows on each page" in the table properties, but to no effect. For some reason this works for PDF but not for Excel.
Is this some kinda bug or am I doing something incorrectly? I've tried putting the report in in a table as a sub-report, but that doesn't work either.
Is there a work-around (besides putting the table header row in the page header)?
I'm really at my wits' end and quite frustrated.
Thanks in advance

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?

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.

I have a report that the user can print right from the RS site on three pages (each page one page wide). However, when I have the server email the report as an attachment in Excel; Excel tries to print it on four pages with one of the pages spilling over into the fourth page.
How can I get Excel to format the print version just as I have on the RS site?

Hi,
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?

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:
(see this unanswered post)

HiI am using the DTS package with SQL SERVER 2000. I have a table, and in oneof the columns are links to websites. I am trying to export this to Excel2002 SP3a typical text string stored in the table is=HYPERLINK("www.asite.com","Click")I had hoped the field would be transferred exactly as is and so would appearas a hyper link in the Excel document it creates. Unfortunateld it seems toautomatically put a ' in front of it so if I click on the cell, in the barat the top I get'=HYPERLINK("www.asite.com","Click") - Notice the apostropheso the full text is displayed in the spreadsheet (rather than the wordClick)Does anyone know of a way to get rid of the ' thats being added onthanks in advanceAndy

Hi,
I have 5 subreports, where each is wrapped in its own rectangle, in one report. The report renders successfully. However, when I try to export the results to Excel, I receive the following error
An error occurred during local report processing.
An error occurred during rendering of the report.
An error occurred during rendering of the report.
Item has already been added. Ket in dictionary: '_41_201' Key being added: '_41_201'
Any ideas?
The reports defined in the subreports contain drill through links to each other. These reports were originally designed to be drill through reports. However, my user will like to export them into one workbook.

Hi,
Sorry if this is a stupid question, RS isn't my area of expertise, a customer has asked if it was possible to export all the data in an RS report onto one Excel sheet.
She has created a report off an AS2005 cube, there are 71 pages, is there a way of increasing the number of rows per page or even putting them all on one page? Having some 30 sheets in a spreadsheet seems a little excess.
Thanks in advance
Matt

I'm trying to export a table from SQL7 to Excel. Only thing is that I'd like to specify the Excel spreadsheet filename at run time. The name of the spreadsheet needs to contain the current date e.g. "table1_20011005.xls", "table1_20011006.xls". Is there any way I can do this ? I've looked at DTS but it seems you need to specify the spreadsheet file name and cannot alter it.

Hi,
I am having some problems exporting to Excel using SQL 7.
I have a DTS package which runs a query that returns one value and pumps the data to an Excel spreadsheet. Everything is working except the data is not populating the correct cell in the spreadsheet. How can I control which cell SQL pumps the data to?
Thanks.

Kevin writes "Please forgive me if this is a stupid question. I am working in an environment where we are using SQL Server 2005 and Excel 2003. We have a custom .NET 2005 application which runs against the SQL Server. Users frequently create ad hoc queries in Management Studio to pluck out certain info. They would like to save the results down into an Excel spreadsheet for further analysis; However, we haven't come up with an elegant solution to save these results in Excel and keep the column headings and data types for each column. I have seen transact-sql code to do this in the past using the OPENROWSET command to write to an Excel file; However, I am not confident that this is the best way to skin this particular cat so I thought I would run it by you. So, my question is, What is the BEST way to save ad hoc query results from SQL Server to an Excel spreadsheet so that I preserve the column headings and data type of each column?"

My users have an excel sheet I'm trying to migrate to RS...by and large it's just staic data, which is GREAT for me. But the sheet has one "Total" column, where they locally enter three values then print it off. Is there a way to get a =SUM(X:X,X:X) to migrate to excel so it defaults to 0? If I put it in quotes those come over to excel, if I dont put it in quotes I cant even preview...
Suggestions?
Thanks,
Steve

Hi,
I have a report returning about 50000 rows, when i export this into excel it takes a few minutes and the file size is about 13MB, When i try to open up a 13mb file it is so slow...it is better for me to execute the dataset in SQL analyser and copy the results directly into excel whereby the file is 8mb and opens up also instantly...
My exported version is just data and no graphics however the page appears to be ''white'' although i set the fill in excel to transparent...maybe this is making the file hard to open...
Anybody have problems with exporting to excel and actually able to use it without running into long delays due to the file size...what can i do to fix this
thanks

I'm using RS2000 and I have a report that when I exported to the Excel, all the groups were automatically converted to outline format in Excel. After a year, I decided to update the report a bit and now when I export the report to Excel and it only export the top group (group1). The rest of the data doesn't even get transferred to Excel. Is there a choice in tables were you can select whether or not to export groups? I basically added more groups and mergered a few columns, but I can't pin point what's causing this to happen. Any help on this would be appreciated very much.
Thanks in advance!!!
