Hi all,
I have a basic matrix report but whenever I export this report to Excel, some of the cells end up becoming merged. Is there any way to avoid this using Reporting Services instead of formatting the cells directly in Excel?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Hi
I'm trying to eliminate merged cells when exporting a report to Excel. My problem being my report textbox above my table.
I've searched and found that making the textbox the same width as the first column eliminates the merging. Perfect, it does. But when the report is viewed in the report viewer, the textbox can only expand vertically. So the title looks terrible because column one is not wide.
I've read that expand horizontally is not an option
I don't seem to be able to tell it not to output that text box, which would be an option if there is no other answer
I can't have the text box the size I want it, due it creating merged cells
I don't want to export it as a CSV
Are there any other options available or am missing something?
Cheers
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.
Thanks
I have a report in that report having some Text boxes and below tables.But the problem is when i export the report into excel textboxes are merged, not getting properly.

I created a report in list view (I have to use a subreport in it) and when I export it to excel the cells are shifted even in the header. The html is ok - the problem is only with export.
like this:
Title First Name Last Name Address
Mr John Smith Peartree Str.
I tried to fix the size and location on every cells, but this does'n work in export. Some of the cells drop at the next row and some of they are merged. I was able to receive some good export - but only with a lot of attempts of cells resizing.
Is there any way to avoid this shifting?
I have a report which was in RS 2003 and exported to Excel fine. Now when I export the same report using RS 2005 to Excel I get gray cells at the bottom of each table. I have the background of the body set to transparent. I have tried setting the background of the body to white and other colors. Those colors show up but the gray is still there as well. In preview mode and export to pdf I do not have those problems. Basically gray cells are showing up where they should not be. Any help would be great.

Is there a reason why a single cell in a table with the CanGrow property set to true will grow down, and merged cells grow right, and is there any way around it?
I have a report that I have to display comments, so I merged 2 cells put the comment field in it, and when it is displayed in the browser, it expands off the page.
When it prints, it seems to be fine, but the majority of my users will be viewing online in a browser.
Any ideas? just an HTML thing I am thinking, and nothing can be done about it.
Thanks

I receive this error during rendering when I have two cells merged together:
Error Snippet
Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection. Parameter name: index
When I "Split Cells" on the offending cells, it starts to work. This report renders without error when run on the RS server. This error only occurs when running the report locally on the "Preview" tab in the report designer.
I have closed the IDE and deleted the *.data files and restarted with the same results. Is there anyway to get more information about the error to help debug the problem?
Thanks!

I am trying to split cells that are merged as part of a grouped report. Am using the right-button menu and pressing "Split Cells" when it appears but it just splits into two parts and not into single cells or rows. When I right-button on one of the parts that came out of the split, I do not get a "Split Cells" to break it down further. Want to be able to split the grouped cells into individual cells or rows and have the rows be different colors. How can I do this?
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi guys,
i have a client who is dissatisfied with the merged columns and rows produced when SSRS renders to Excel, it prevents them from easily copying and pasting data into another workbook.
Is there going to be any work done in this area of the product in the near future? My understanding is that this 'issue' has been around for quite some time, and shortly after the SSRS2005 RTM release the team were going to look at tidying up the Excel rendering. Can anyone from MS make an official comment on this?
Thanks,

I have a report with a column which contains either a string such as "N/A" or a number such as 12. A user exports the report to Excel. In Excel the numbers are formatted as text.
I already tried to set the value as CDbl which returns error for the cells containing a string.
The requirement is to export the column to Excel with the numbers formatted as numbers and the strings such as "N/A' in the same column as string.
Any suggestions?

I load data from excel and sometimes I have problem with format of excel's cells. For example format of cell should be "general" but one of cell is "custom" and I get wrong data but if I just change format in excel to "general" - data is correct.
Can I change or check format of cells in SSIS ?
I have around 600 worksheets that i need to import into sql server that are in a somewhat non-table like format. Data defractor seems to be able to do what i need, but i also need to check into doing it manually. I've seen the code to import cells and ranges into sql server, but can't seem to remember what it is anymore. I've also searched through the forums and can't seem to find any examples either. Could anyone post an example or a link with some examples or explaination code. Thanks in advance.
View 4 Replies View Related I have created an SSIS package which processes daily financial information to a sql server database. These processes are to be outputted to excel spreadsheets to a readable report format for management to review. Some of these reports are laid out in a way that is not just tabular output but requires customized placement of data on an excel spreadsheet to specific cells.
I am able to place an initial resultset of a query output from the database in a tabular excel template through SSIS but the issue is at the end of that placement in the spreadsheet I am required to place another output below that tabular output in a different format from the initial output which I have shown below.
I have a cube with a partition configures in write back.
Users in Excel need to see the totals of the line. Unfornately they have the bad idea to write in this cell sometimes and not in the leaf cells.
As there is some MDX code behind in the weight expression field, we got some weird values : one is negative and others ARe 10 times the initial value in the total. So it's very dangerous.
How can we block the writing in this totals cells ?
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 an SSRS report with groups that when exported to excel contains drill-in's (plus marks on left side). The issue I have is that for all the groups in the drill-in, those cells become merged. I want to keep the group drill-in but have the cells UNMERGED. I have heard this can be done with the RDL XML but I don't know what to modify to accomplish this.

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

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.
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
Please Help

Hello All
First time setting up A SSIS
Trying to import a excel that creates a new table called lockbox.
Does not import any records from Columns-Contract Id, Owner ID,
that have a null value.
Then in the Site Id -that is a number value- change to a text value
and update it to it text value.
for example: Site Id Column
2 = Ell
3 = CSI
12 = Ell2
Can someone get me started in the right direction?
Thanks for your time and help

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. )
