Is there a way that i can make my report looks like an Excel Spreadsheet?with its behavior??I mean the sheeting behavior.Because what i would like to do is make a report with a sheet separator on just one page,with different result set from a database.And if not,is there any trick to do some alternative way for that?Thanks guys.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen 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've created a linked server with a pretty basic Excel spreadsheet, and used this command to create a linked server to it:
sp_addlinkedserver ''XL_SPS_1', 'Excel', 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'c:MyExcel.xls', null, 'Excel 8.0'
I want to use this as the data from which to build a report model. As linked servers don't show up in the Data Source View wizard, I created a view in SQL Server:
create view MyExcel
as
select * from XL_SPS_1...Sheet1$
Okay, great, now the view shows up in the DSV wizard and I can create the data source view. However, when I create a new report model based on this data source view, the Report Model Wizard tells me at "Create entities for all tables" that I've got an error when it processes dbo_MyExcel that "Table does not have a primary key."
I assume this is where the identifying attributes for the entities in the report model are taken from, so I really can't go further. Does anyone have an idea as to how to add a primary key to a linked server (Excel) in SQL 2005? Can this be done? Other than importing spreadsheet data to a SQL table, how can I get around this?
Thanks,

We are about to implement SSRS reports (SQL Server 2012), and have found one issue we don't like. The report looks great when we open it in pdf format. However, when we open it in Excel format, we want it to be the raw data, not look like the pdf report. I tried the simpl headers, and that removed the page header/footer. However, the report format was still in play.In other words, we would like the report when opened in Excel, to look just like it does when we open it as a CSV.I have tried to modify the config file a couple of times. Here is my latest attempt:
Extension Name="CSV" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.DataRenderer.CsvReport,Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataRendering">
    <OverrideNames>
     <Name Language="en-US">CSV (comma delimited)</Name>
    </OverrideNames>
   </Extension>
   <Extension Name="CSV" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.DataRenderer.CsvReport,Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataRendering">
    <OverrideNames>
     <Name Language="en-US">Excel (csv)</Name>
    </OverrideNames>
   </Extension>
Essentially I have set Visible = "false" for the Excel type, and tried to duplicate the CSV, changing the name to make it look to the user like it is "Excel". This fails. I checked the event viewer, and I see two entries.. The RSReportServer.config file has been modified. (Information)The value for UrlRoot in RSReportServer.config is not valid. The default value will be used instead.I literally took the file, opened it in Notepad, pasted in my changes, from another notepad window, and tried to run the report. I did not see EITHER of the two names I expected, using the OverrideNames tag. As I said earlier, I was able to affect the outcome, by setting SimpleHeaders to true (or however it is identified). That did work in that the page header and footer was removed.
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 .

Hi,
I am trying to export a report that generates around 32,000 records in excel but it throws an error page €œServer Application unavailable€?.Exporting it in pdf format works fine.When I filtered the data selecting 'ALL' option for all the inputs I got this error meggase but When I view the report selecting a particular detail for the required data,it exports to excel normally.Is this because the number of records have been reduced?Is there anyway to resolve this issue?

Hi all
I am wondering if there is a solution for our current issue i.e. we can't export the query report from SQL report services into 2007 Excel.
We have no problem with Excel 2003.
Any help/reply would be much appreciated.

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 ?
Ok guys, here's the problem. Normally if I were sorting a report that needed to be rendered to pdf or excel, I'll sort the data in the dataset before loading it into the reportviewer in my code. This is in vb, for example:
dataSetName.Tables(0).DefaultView.Sort = "field ASC"
But for this particular case, I have to load the data into the report first, because in the actual report I have to combine two columns based on certain criteria (i do this using an expression for a column in my table) , and after those two columns are combined then they must be sorted.
But since the data is already loaded into the reportviewer I can't sort like I normally would, the report is rendered in either excel or pdf so interactive sort is pointless. I can't sort through table or properties or the properties of the text box because both fields are combined and you can only sort based on one field.
Any ideas?

Is it possible to embed an excel worksheet in a report? I have a workbook which contains some data and this data needs to be part of the report. What are my options and can this be done by creating a custom report item.

Hello
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.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated
just like we can automatically convert the reports to the excel fromat can we reconvert them into the report items?
what i need to be doin is that the xls worksheets have to be converted into the individual pages of a report in ssrs ...
any ideas guys ??
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?
Is there a property or a format type that I can use on a field to enter an excel formula and have it actually be a formula once it is saved to excel out of reporting services.
This is a 'what if' report. That the users want to fiddle with after it is generated.
I have item number, cost, sell price, and discount from the database. I calculate the gross profit and the percent from those fields. They want to take this report, save it to excel and then have the gross profit change when they enter a new discount amount.
I have tried to just enter the fields like they would look in excel but the report just shows A3 - A2. If I use the = before it will not run and says A3 is not defined. I have tried quotes, parenthesis, square brackets any thing that looked remotely possible in properties menu to have the values save as a formula.
I don't think it is possible but would like a second opinion.
The trouble I am having is that I have a drilldown report that exports the detail to Excel, but I want the summary exported to Excel.
I perform the following steps but get wrong results. Please help me identify the correct steps for the correct results. Thanks you.
1) Select Matrix.
2) Right click, select Properties.
3) Select tab Groups.
4) Select item in Columns list, click Edit.
5) Select tab Visibility.
6) Select Initial visibility: Hidden, and click okay to the Grouping and Sorting dialog box.
Now I can export summary to Excel okay, but now I can not expand the summary in the report itself, so I do the following:
7) Do one through six above (but do not close dialog box), then click visibility can be toggled by another report item.
8) Select the report item in the Report Item drop down list.
Now the report functions normally in the Reporting Services report web page, but when I export on the summary level, again it exports the detail to Excel, but what I want it to export is the summary.
Ideas?

Hi
I have a report, a matrix as always, were the numbers are text when I save the report to Excel. What did I do wrong or what properties do I have to change?
Kind regards
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.

I created a report using visual studio 2005. Everything works fine except when users export it to excel. I have a column that links the user to another report but when they try to access it from the spreadsheet it is using localhost instead of the report server. Is there an easy way to fix this instead of updating each cell? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
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

I am trying to get my ssrs report in an excel. I want the report to be displayed in a single excel sheet, however, I am getting multiple sheets. I have even tried the page break functionality and used the

Hi,
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?
Thanks,

Dear Friends,
I want to retain the formulae defined in the Reporting Services to be retained when I export the report to Excel. I want to know the best possible way to achieve the same.
Scenario:
I have a report which has 4 Columns.Column 1 and Column 2 are fetched from Database. Column 3 is empty and Column 4 (Formulae defined using expressions) is computed with the formulae using the previous 3 Columns.
My requirement is that upon rendering of the report, I'll download the report to excel and the end user enters some values in the column 3 and based on the value entered, Column 4 Formula has to be computed. But when I download the Report to Excel, my Formulae expression is not retained.
Kindly let us know if there is any other means of doing this in reporting services itself. Else please suggest an appropriate alternative, either through third party or in any other way.
Thanks in Advance,
S Suresh
