I have a report that has 10 columns. While viewing, users should see only 8 columns and 2 will be hidden. But is there any way we can export those 2 hidden columns to excel?
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.
If I wanted to make a report that shows different fields, one being cost, but I only wanted certain people to see cost based on their AD groups, is there a way to hide this information?
Basically, domain/user1 belongs to AD purchasing group purchasing, he can see item, description and cost, where domain/user2 belongs to sales so he can only see item and description?
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'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 query where I am trying to export a column that has around2000 characters and it is truncated. What is not setup in MS SQLcorrectly so that DTS will export the csv correctly.Thanks,John
I have the Excel Connection Manager and Source to read the contents from an Excel file. For some reason couple of numeric fields from the Excel worksheet are brought over as nulls even though they have a value of 300 and 150. I am not sure why this is happening. I looked into the format of the fields and they are set to General in Excel, I tried setting them to numeric and that did not help.
All the other content from the excel file is coming thru except for the 2 numeric fields.
I tried to bring the contents from the excel source to a text file in csv format and for some reason the 2 numeric fields came out as blank.
Any inputs on getting this addressed will be much appreciated.
Hi I need to export data to CSV file from Sql Reporting Services. I am including single quotations in my view to display in SRS for string fields. After export if we open in Notepad, for string field it is adding multiple quotations.
How to add single quotations for string fields - CSV files,
I need to be able to suppress the printing of a particular value when exporting, but not when displaying on a web viewer on-line. I can place an IIF() condition around the field to do this, but do not know how to obtain a parameter/value/function which would recognize that the viewer has selected an export (To .PDF for example). I would prefer there be a direct parameter I can read from the RDL language, however recognizing the selection while setting up the viewer to be displayed in the code-behind and setting an external parameter is also an option.
I've built a fairly straight forward report in RS that looks normal in preview mode and in PDF format with out any issues.But when I export it to Excel report header is not appearing in each page.Any ideas as to why this is occurring?thanks in advance,Ramesh KS
Is there any nice way when saving a result set grid to CSV (right click, save to CSV) to properly delimit text fields that contain commas? As it is, text data that includes commas cannot be safely exported to CSV.
Anyone know a way to pull specific fields from an excel spreadsheet. I'm using SQL7 DTS to pull data into a SQL table. I can pull the entire sheet but I just want certain fields.
I am trying to validate and import a Excel file into the database table using script component. The file contains some blank columns in the sheet. How can I handle the blank spaces while validating the file in the Script Component?The code is as follows:Dim excelcmd As OleDbCommand = New OleDbCommand("SELECT Item,TaxCode,ItemDescription FROM [Input$]WHERE LEN(Item)>=0 AND LEN(ItemDescription)>=0 AND LEN(TaxCode)>=0", excelConn) Dim excelreader As OleDbDataReader = excelcmd.ExecuteReader() Dim row As Integer = 0 While excelreader.Read() NameValsBuffer.AddRow() NameValsBuffer.ItemCode = CStr(IIf(excelreader.GetString(0).Length = 0, "#", excelreader.GetString(0))) NameValsBuffer.TaxCode = CStr(IIf(excelreader.GetString(1).Length = 0, "#", excelreader.GetString(1))) NameValsBuffer.ItemDescription = CStr(IIf(excelreader.GetString(2).Length = 0, "#", excelreader.GetString(2))) NameValsBuffer.CompanyId = Me.Variables.CompanyId NameValsBuffer.UserId = Me.Variables.UserId End While
Hello All, I'm simply exporting data from SQL to Excel via the Export Data feature in SQL Management Studio.My problem is I have a column aliased as [ID #] and when it exports it changes the Pound Sign into a decimal -> ID .SPACE(25) As [ID#], It's not a major problem but does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks, Kyle
Hi there I know its possible to export data from a gridview to excel. I'm looking to export data directly from a stored procedure at the click of a button.Somebody suggested using the following:insert into OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'Excel 8.0;Database=C: esting.xls;', 'SELECT * FROM [SheetName$]') 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.
Hi , I have a simple report which i want to export to excel format. the are no groups in the report. I need each page of the report to appear as a seperate page in excel. currently when i export the report i get a single continuous page. is there any way in which i can do this ????
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?
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.
