Funky Formatting Of Percentages In Excel Export
Sep 18, 2007
I've created a report that has cells in it that I want to be formatted as percentages. I set the format code in the cell properties to "P1" and everything appears to work fine until I export to Excel. Some cells show up with only one digit after the decimal and some show up with two digits after the decimal.
I looked at the formatting in Excel (right click, Format Cells...) and it is set to "[$-1010409]#,##0.0#%". I don't have the first clue what that is "supposed" to do but what it does is this:
If I enter 100.00 in the cell it shows up as 100.0%. Expected
If I enter 100.10 in the cell it shows up as 100.1%. Expected
If I enter 100.15 in the cell it is displayed as 100.15%. Not expected
I have formatted the report to only show one digit after the decimal, but RS exports to Excel with some funky formatting that sometimes shows one digit and sometimes two digits after the decimal. Why wouldn't it simply format the cell as a percent? How can I get it to only show a single digit after the decimal?
This is Excel 2007 but Excel 2003 has the same behavior.
Thanks

Hi
In the Exported Excel File the Format of a Field whose value is always 0 should be 0.00. I used the following code in Sql select Stmt:-
Select convert(numeric(26,2), Convert(Varchar(5),0.00)) as [Column Name]. But still in the Excel sheet Value of this column appears as 0. Can any one suggest as to how do i go abt it??
Thanx in advance.

I need to populate three worksheets within the same workbook with data from SQL 2005. However, I am not sure how to handle the custom formatting. Even if I use a template, my data does not start at Row 2 for any of the worksheets.
Under SQL 2000 DTS, I used to work directly in an ActiveX script task to instantiate an Excel workbook and loop through the data, placing it in the correct cells, handle formatting, etc. I cannot seem to find any way to do this in SQL 2005 but perhaps I am missing an easier option?
Does anybody have a solution?
Kind regards,
Steve

Hi all,
Once again, SSIS is giving me a 'F.U.N.' time (ask for definition of the F.U.N. acronym another time ).
I
have a relatively simple task - create an excel spreadsheet with 3
columns of data - Id, Description and Sales. ID and Description are
text, sales is int.
So my SP aggregates and creates my resultset
in my OLE DB Source in the Data Flow. It proceeds to the Excel
destination, and that all seems fine. My issue is that the data is
being written as text. Looking at the excel destination in Advanced
editor:
the Excel Destination Input, Input columns are formatted as
I expected: DT_WSTR 8 for the ID, DT_WSTR 100 for the Description and
DT_I4 for the Sales.
Excel Destination Input, External columns refuse to fall in line, though. They are all listed as DT_WSTR 255.
The
target excel spreadsheet is being created from a template file. That
template file has header columns. The target column for the Sales has
the entire column formatted to NUMBER (0 decimals). Yet to now avail.
When
I check the spreadsheet, the column has retained the cell formatting,
and I have a 'I' pop-up to inform me that 'someone' has inserted text
data into the number column (even though the data IS number).
Since
the SP spits out INT, it isn't a case of receiving a text value, imho.
While trying to change the external column data type in the advanced
editor, SSIS is quite happy to let me change the value for the Sales
output to DT_I4, apply, and ok. Then, when I open it immedaitely
aftgerwards, it has reverted to the DT_WSTR's! AArrgh. If is can't
handle it, at least tell me when I try and change it. don't let me
change it, and then revert back without telling me! Grumble grumble...
So - anyone know a way around this?

Hi,
I have got a report which has a table and a list. I used list, as I wanted to use a subreport and be able to export it to excel. The subreprot takes two parameters from the main report.
When I run the report, it looks ok, but when I export it to excel, the formatting is all messed up, the subreport in the list appears after all the rows of the table.
I have aligned the list very close to the last column of the table.
Looks like this in designer. (List is very close to the last column.
Can some one help me if there is any better way of doing this.
Thank you,
Chai.

Hi
I've simplified this so I can test it's not me and so it's easier to explain.
I have one table in SQL server called Table1. Five fields called: One, Two, Three, Four, Five. Values of NULL, 2, 3, 4, NULL.
Reporting services, put a table in a report. Two fields. Header of Field1 and Field2.
Value field data for Field1 ="One: " & vbcrlf & "Two: " & vbcrlf & "Three: " & vbcrlf & "Four: " & vbcrlf & "Five: "
Value field data for Field2 =Fields!One.Value & vbcrlf & Fields!Two.Value & vbcrlf & Fields!Three.Value & vbcrlf & Fields!Four.Value & vbcrlf & Fields!Five.Value
Preview the report, all is well, you get this:
Field1 Field2
One:
Two: 2
Three: 3
Four: 4
Five:
Export it to a PDF, all is not well, I get this:
Field1 Field2
One: 2
Two: 3
Three: 4
Four:
Five:
I can make it work by checking the NULL fields and replacing them with a character. But why does it ignore the vbCRLF when exported to a PDF?
Any ideas...

I need to export some Database data into a text file. My Query looks like this:
SELECT Category1, Category2, Category3
FROM dbo.tbl1
WHERE Category1 = 'JP-4'
AND Category2> 4;
This works fine to get the data, however there is some html formatting in the table entries such as
`<p>,</p>,
,</br>` etc.
So ideally I need to remove those when exporting the data to the text file. I've tried to do it with a simple replace query but that didn't work. I've also got an issue with line splits and would need to remove the ( ).
The Data format is something like this:
Category1: JP-4
Category2: 4
Category3:<p>Neque porro quisquam est qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor</p> <p>amet, consectetur, adipisci velit</p>
Category4:<p>Neque porro quisquam est qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor</p>
I got it to work like this with the replace function:
SELECT REPLACE(REPLACE("PHOTOGRAPHS",'<p>',''),'</p>','')
FROM dbo.khia_tbl
WHERE Category1= 'JP-4'
AND Category2> 4;
But the issue is that I've got 15 columns in total and that I need to do it for several different tags for each column so
,
</br>,
as well as "" and different spaces so that would be a lot and I thought there must be a better/more efficient way of doing it...

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.

Onthe new server, the CPU times are huge -- although actual performanceis quite good. I know sp_who2 is an undocumented proc. Has anyoneexperienced this or is it just me?

I am currently developing a report for users who insist on exporting to Excel 2007. When I export to Excel on my PC, the report formatting is fine (I am using Excel 2003), however, font sizing as applied in the report is lost when exported to Excel 2007 (i.e. font size 9 in the report is actually 10 in excel 2007). In Excel 2007, the data which runs onto two lines does not show up correctly - the second line is squashed below the first.
Any ideas on how I could resolve this?

Hi ,
I am executing my query and writing it to an excel sheet by choosing "query" results to an excel sheet. It does not format them well. I have trimmed my fields too. There are about 10 fields in the database and I need to show them in the excel file all the ten fields adjacent to one another. Is there anyway I can format them other than the programming aspect.
Thanks

Ok. I've been messing around with exporting data to excel using an Excel Destination. I keep having formatting problems specifically with dates, numbers and text (if the text looks like a number). I am exporting to a range.
1) If set the FirstRowHasColumnNames to true, format the appropriate cells in the header, and the range is set to the row of column headers only, the formatting does not apply.
2) If set the FirstRowHasColumnNames to true,include a blank row after the header, format the appropriate cells in the that row and set the range to both rows, the formatting does apply but I get a blank row after the header line.
3) If set the FirstRowHasColumnNames to false, format the appropriate cells in the first row, and set the range to that row, the formatting does not apply.
I cannot use VBA or install excel on the server and manipulate it via VBA.
Is there any way to delete the row via a query using OLEDB? I seem to have read you can blank out a line but not delete a row using this method.
Is there any way to format the columns in SSIS?

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

Hi All
I have seen several posts on this issue but as yet no answer. So i'm hoping that somewhere out there knows what the issue is.
SSIS package queries database creates MS spreadsheets per customer and then emails each customer their list.
Anyway all works fine apart from the fact that the Excel Destination Editor converts the date from uk to us format. My routine is already using an MS Excel template (correctly formatted) which it copies as part of the package.
Any ideas anyone?

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.
In the Transform Data Task Properties:
EXEC sp_ProductivityReport_ByDay '01/01/2005','02/01/2005'
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

I have written a query which dumps the output to a table, ideally I would like to select everything from this table in to an Excel file.
Looking @ http://blog.sqlauthority.com/2008/01/08/sql-server-2005-export-data-from-sql-server-2005-to-microsoft-excel-datasheet/
Made me think this would be quite easy... so
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 some reports that I used vbcrlf in. Whenever they are exported to Excel only the first line appears.
Ex: Name (&vbcrlf)
Address 1 (& vbcrlf)
Address 2 (& vbcrlf)
City, State, Zip
This exports to Excel and displays the name line only.
However, if I close the file that was exported and the extra blank screen, and hit export to excel again for a second time, all of the information is displayed.

I am having a problem exporting data to excel using t-sql. I need to create a t-sql stored procedure that exports the resultset of a dynamic query to Excel where the columns are not know beforehand.
I have been able to do it using bcp, but the problem is that the bcp method just exports the data to an tab-delimited ascii file with a .xls extension. Excel is smart enough to pick it up and parse it out into the individual cells, but the problem arises if the field value contains any special chars that may have been picked up when the user input the data by using copy & paste. Then the columns/rows are skewed for the record that has the field with the special chars in its field value.
I have tried using the openrowset method and if you know the fields(cols) that you want to retrieve, it works great. All you have to do is pre-create an excel file with the first row containing the columnNames for each column. But for dynamic queries, this is not an option. I have read somewhere that you can do a range, but have not been able to figure out to do that yet. You would have to pre-determine the number of columns & rows and figure out the range. Columns A-Z may not be as big an issue, but then I would have to figure out the values for any columns if the column count exceeded 26.
Outside of using Ole-Automation, is there any way than I can achieve the results that I really need? It just seems like over-kill for something that should be a simple task. If it cannot be done outside of Ole-Automation, is there a good example that someone can point me to?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi all,
I have a SSRS Report which I have built using only a table. There are many table header rows, detail rows and table footers rows. For the layout of the report, I have merged many Table columns as well.
So when I am exporting this report to excel, it renders the report as it is but I am not able to manipulate any data in the excel till I do a lot of cleaning up. I have to remove the table headers, footers and also unmerge the merged columns etc.
My users are asking that they need a way throught which when they export the data it presents them with just the data which can be easily sorted, added, manipulated.
Is there a way of doing this. I thought about two ways of doing it.
Make another report in which only the data is shown and thus when this data is exported, then only the data gets exported to excel. But this is a very tedious way. Because as the number of reports increases, thi sis going to be a tough task to follow.
Make a web service or a plug in which will be connected to my web form. Then when the Export to Excel is clicked, this plug in will clean up the SSRS Report and export to excel in a way that only the data is exported.
But I dont know much about web services or plug ins.
Could you please guide me that if it is achieveble. And what are the various ways in which this task can be done.
I really need this urgently. Any help or suggestion is welcome.
Thanks
Swati
