I am developing a report using SQL Server Reporting Services 2005. Now I need to restrict the Export to Excel functionality for some users, but allow it to others, on a given report (Not all reports). Please let me know if it can be done, and if Yes, then How?
I'm looking to deploy some SQL Server reports and I want to restrict the access that the users have. Currently when connecting to the reports site they have access to a lot of functionality through the header bar, for example - Properties - New Folder - New Data Source - My Subscriptions - Site Settings - Search etc.
How can I disbale or hide all these options so that all the user sees is the list of reports?
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.?
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'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
I am running a SQL stored procedure which runs 3 queries on 3 different SQL tables. What is my best option to export the results of these 3 queries to excel?
If it matters they are all SELECT queries, and at most will return < 500 rows.
I am trying to create a DTS package that uses a sql stored procedure to generate a set of results and export those results to an excel spreadsheet on a server.
The trick is that the stored procedure accepts a parameter for Bank_Number (there are 10 of them). Therefore i was wondering if there was a way to somehow create the package to run the stored proc 10 times, each with a different bank number as the parameter and generate 10 different excel spreadsheets, one for each bank with it's results.
Can this be done using DTS or do i have to try another method?
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.
Is there a way to export query results to an excel fie and add that file as an attachment in the email? All this has to be done using SQL query and it needs to be automated. My coworker tried using Openrowset and BCP, but it is not working.
I have a ssrs report having 2 tables in with 4 columns in each. When I go to export option in preview I can see all data coming in one excel sheet, But I am trying to get 2 tables in 2 different pages in Excel when I export.First page of excel comes with first table data with 4 columns and second page of excel comes with second table data with 4 columns .
While web hosting I use Sql Server 2000 as the database. Imagine I have hosted 3 Web Sites. All these 3 users want to modify/update their designs. What I did is I created respective 3 users having access to the respective databases only. So that they can registerd the ip and add to the Sql Server 2000 Enterprise Manager. These users are able to access their own databases only. But all these 3 users are able to access the default databases like master,pubs etc. How to restrict this.
Also suggest which is the optimal way to give control to the respective users while using Sql Server 2000.
I need to export various reports created using SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services to ONE Excel workbook (with multiple work sheets - tabs - one for each report).
Is there an option in Reporting services that can allow me that ? Thanks.
When I Export SSRS report into Excel , all the Numeric data type field in SSRS reports are converted Text Type. when i used other function except formatcurrency so it's works!!
But it's doesn't work when used formatcurrency function!!! Any solution ?
I have a requirement where the end-user's preferred solution is to export report results from Reporting Services into a spreadsheet so that the user can run a series of Excel macros on the resulting data. This is only going to serve as a quick fix until we develop a longer term solution.
My question is: is there a way to export report results from RS to an existing spreadsheet or spreadsheet template that has the macro code in it, and perhaps even initiate the macro. I would like to avoid the user having to cut and paste from the report spreadsheet to the spreadsheet with the macro in it -- reduce human error.
I'm not sure if this can be done. There are some threads that say yes and some that say no.
If my report's detail section is hidden unless toggled by group2 is there a way to retain the collapsed entries as collapsed when the report is exp[orted to excel?
Right now when I export to excel the report is all expanded. An export to pdf looks fine but I need to in excel.
I tried this and I must have done something wrong cause it did not work. http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2376478&SiteID=1
My orginal report rows are: Table header
Group1 group2 Details
In details I have the visibilty as hidden, toggle item as group2_item.
I did try creating group3 and set it as the the above thread said.
I have created a report in SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services. After I export it to Excel format, if I try to print it (Hardcopy), my Excel crashes. It shows an error and shut down. I'm using Excel 2000. It even shows me same error when I click on "Print Preview", in Excel.
Everytime I try to print the excel worksheet, a window pops up with the heading "Visual Studio Just-in-Time Debugger". The error is: "An unhandled win32 exception occurred in EXCEL.EXE [3460]".
I need to export a report created in SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services to one allready existing Excel workbook document. The report is deployed, so it is the deployed report I want to export. As I can see, the option are just to export to different formats, but not to a specific document
Is there an option in Reporting services that can allow me that ? Thanks.
I have two RDL files, one is main.rdl, the other one is sub.rdl.
In the body of main.rdl, I threw in a subreport that links to sub.rdl. Follow by the subreport is a table, in which has a textbox called mytitle. In the page footer, I added one text box that references to mytitle by using ReportItems!mytitle.Value.
When this report rendered in HTML or PDF format, it worked fine. However, when exporting to excel format, it failed. I figured it is because there isn't a ReportItem in the subreport called mytitle. I tried adding a dummy textbox into the subreport and called it mytitle, but again, no luck.
Did anyone ever encounter the same problem? Is there a work around way?
I have created a Report using Sql Server 2005 Reporting Services. It's a matrix report. When I try to download the report to excel, it gives me the message "
Data Regions within table/matrix cells are ignored.
in cube we have one role defined. users in that cube should be allowed to see only last 2 days of data. I mean they should be able to browse only last 2 days of data based on current date. How to implement?
Hi guys, say i wrote a query that returns 1,000 records.. what kinda query could i write that only returns say the first 50 records of the 1,000 recs..
I have the t-sql script that generates database report of space used for 200 databases on MS SQL Server 2000. How can I dump the contents of this report to an Excel spreadsheet and/or a Web page html file?
-- Space Usage report for MS SQL Server 2000 databases USE MASTER; GO EXEC sp_msforeachdb @command1="use [?] exec sp_spaceused"
Hi I generate a report successfully in SQL reporting services . I goto the http://localhost/Reports link and I select the report I want and it renders in the browser window. Once the report is generated I then select the export option to export it to excel
I then get this error message( see below) after waiting about 20 mins or longer for the excel file to be generated. There is a lot of data in this report . There is 1240 pages and there is about 50 rows for each page. That makes it 62000 rows in the report.
I'm using excel 2007 on my pc. I've updated sql server 2005 to sp2. Is there some limitation to the amount of data you can export to excel.??
Looking at the errors in the logfiles on the server I see I got the error
Connection_Dropped DefaultAppPool . This seems to be an IIS related error after searching for it on the internet.
Is there some setting I can change in IIS to handle the extra volume of data.
After doing some more tests I can export the reports that have small amounts of data to excel.
However I keep getting this timeout problem when the volume of data gets quite large.
I also noticed that when the reports server is trying to export the report to an excel file you can't access the url of any other website hosted by IIS on that particular server.
any ideas?
Or is there any known limitations in doing the above??
thanks in advance

I am exporting the ssrs report with Execl sheet but iam getting this error in excel sheet"The number in this cell is formatted as text or preceded by an apostrophe ".
I have a report that I am trying to export to excel. The export seems to work but the data in the spread sheet is incomplete. The document map is completely exported but the work sheets are not. The links in the document map stop being links after the first occurrence of the lowest level detail. All the data is visible in Report services and all the data exports to PDF. There are 5 levels and 124 pages in the report in the report. I have other reports on the same server that are larger (7 levels and 512 pages) and they work just fine. They export to excel with no problem. Any ideas or input would be very appreciated. Ayla
I have an SSRS file with 2 total reports - the first is a sort of template - a matrix with about 6 varying parameters, and the second report uses the first as a subreport - ultimately, there are about 5 subreports on the second page, all using the main "template" report, with the only variance being certain parameters. The client wanted an excel file as the end result, and I decided the quickest way to populate the data they needed would be SSRS.
My problem is when I export this stuff to excel. The template report, by itself, comes out beautifully. The expand/collapse boxes on the groups are all aligned and the data just fits.
However, when I export the "combined" report, the whole thing turns to caca....
For one, subtotals are auto-magically added in for certain groups (these aren't in the main report, and they don't show render in IE, and subtotals are showing for groups where subtotals aren't even on. ) Annoying, but not major.
More importantly, the expand/collapse buttons for the matrix groupings seem to align to the top, and not the actual row of the grouping. So, if I wanted to expand the data on say, row 11, the '+' button is actually on the previous row (row 110). This is the real showstopper and just not acceptable on a usability level.
Again - the only difference between the two spreadsheets is that one is its own report, and the second one renders the same report from a subreport. On IE it looks identical. Any reason why simply using a sub would cause such drastic differences in excel appearance??
