I manage a Sales MIS Reports System, which has been in Production since 2006 for a Pharma company. The web app is built on ASP.NET with SQL Server Reporting Server 2012. This May we migrated to SQL Reporting Services 2012, as IPad support for reports was
required.
A Safari on IPad limitation which we knew of and documented was lack of "Export to Excel" feature for SSRS 2012 reports (only export to .PDF and .TIFF supported). The same report on a desktop browser allows me all export functionality.
But now an overwhelming number of IPad users have come back with the requirement to support "Export to Excel" on the IPad.We were also surprised to discover that few of these users were provided IPads last year and they were accessing the old SSRS 2008 R2 reports (even though we did not support it).
And these users were exporting reports to excel on the IPad since last year. These users are especially annoyed that we broke existing functionality while moving to a new version which was supposed to support IPads.
how we can provide the "Export to Excel" functionality for these IPad users.
I would like to know whether i can export a report to excel from reporting services, with all the column width set to the max width of the text in it(AutoFit Column width), so that the excel report doesn't look cramped.
Messages to the reporting services group get no attention, and Ihaven't been able to find anything on MS support so I am going to tryhere. We have a prticular report, that when exported to Excel throughReporting services exports fine, but has an additional Excel sheetlabeled DocumentMap with bogus code in it and it has the focus bydefault. There is another tab called Sheet1 which has the correctreport data. Any idea how to get rid of this DocumentMap tab/sheet?
i have a report (RDL) which gives output of around 100000 rows. i am using reporting service's web service from an aspx page to render this report to excel. this is giving error as excel sheet can accomodate only 65000 rows. how can i add second excel sheet and tranfer the remaining rows into that sheet. i need this desperately.
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 am having difficulty in exporting a report to Excel that has drill-down grouping created in SSRS 2008 R2. I can export with the report expanded or with just the summary and both look fine, but when it gets to Excel it looses the toggle ability which I need for it to retain.
I have a SSRS 2012 report which have few columns with long text. They appear good when viewed in browser. However, when I export it to excel data is shrinking. How can I avoid the data shrinking in excel.
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.
In SQL server Reporting service we need to export excel formula for summing column values. scenario : After generating report we are exporting report to excel file using report viewer.when user will modify a column value we need to calculate(update) automatically sum of the column values.Basically we are setting excel formula.
I have a server report which made by ssrs 2005, I am using vs 2005 to build an aspx page and call this report which already uses dynamic query. I use parameters and send these to reportviewer with setparameter method. I dont use DataBind and Refresh method. SetParameter is enough to generate Report. When report generates everything is fine. But when i export this report to excel the pictures in this report get smaller to fit in cell height. I used rendering extensions but its same.
And i used copy contents of reportviewer and paste it to excel file. There is interesting case here. If this is the first time that i run the report and copy and paste. No image is seen in excel workseet but other report elements is fine. But if i click on refresh button on reportviewer toolbar and report regenerates, i try to copy and paste and it works fine, and if i dont close ie window copy and paste progress works good and i dont need to click on refresh button on each report to copy and paste?
This is so interesting subject, i tried lots of things for example i tried to use databind and ServerReport.Refresh methods maybe it acts like clicking on refresh button but this wasnt the same only difference is it took more time to generate the report.
I need to create an report from SSRS and then exported it in excel for the user. It has dynamic header/footer and dynamic excel sheet name. The developer told that it is not possible to have both the things dynamic.
I am facing some issue in rendering my SSRS report(2012 version) to excel sheet with color codes. i am using conditional formatting to display the colors. So what is happening is ,take the below expression as an example, for the id = 0, we are not getting white back ground, we are getting some other colors. But the same thing is working fine in SSRS 2008R2.
We mark cells in a report using color names like red, pink, and transparent in the fill expression. In the browser it works correctly. When exported to Excel the colors go to the wrong cells. This worked correctly in SSRS 2008.
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 .
When I export the report in excel format the chart is displayed as picture. I want it to be displayed as editable chart.Does Office Writer work in this situation and did anyone use Office Writer to accomplish same type of problem.Is there any other method or product we can use instead of the office writer.
I am using SQL Server Reporting Service 2005. When I try to using Reporting Service Export to Excel Features, I found that the exported Excel file will have some border line among the cell.

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
So I am trying to export my SQL Server Result Set from "OLE DB Source" to an Excel spreadsheet. This was working fine when I hard-coded the Excel spreadsheet path and file name. But now I am trying to create an Excel spreadsheet and file name using a variable...@ExcelFullyQualifiedName.
My "Excel Connection Manager" is defined with the following Properties...
When I attempt running my Package I am getting this error...
Error: 0xC0202009 at Data Flow Task, Excel Destination [100]: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. Error: 0xC0202040 at Data Flow Task, Excel Destination [100]: Failed to open a fastload rowset for "serverfilesharessharedExport DataExport_Week_Of_2015_11_01.xlsx". Check that the object exists in the database. Error: 0xC004701A at Data Flow Task, SSIS.Pipeline: Excel Destination failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC0202040.
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.
I have created an package in SSIS and getting some problem when i am export date from OLEDB to Excel its format getting change. I am passing date format MM/dd/yyyy and its showing yyyy-MM-dd.
We have a requirement to produce adhoc Excel reports with a standardized header page with a disclaimer attached. We want to be able to feed in a SQL Statement, or a table with the resultset from a SQL Statement and have SSIS populate an existing blank Excel workbook, which the disclaimer attached. The use of xp_cmdshell is not an option.I've spent a lot of time looking for solutions on the web and it seems though its not possible - although many articles are 3-5 years old. Before I throw in the towel, I just wanted to get feedback from this group if it still is not possible in the latest versions of SQLServer and SSIS, or to ask if there are any other 3rd party solutions that can do this today.
I am using 'SQL Server 2005 Reporting Service' in my project. I am using sub-reports in many cases. Whenever I export such reports containing sub-reports to 'Excel' format which is the major client requirement in our project, the exported excel file shows 'Subreports within table/matrix cells are ignored.'
Can anybody tell me the solution for this? If not possible in reporting service then is there any other way to get data in excel format?
on "SQL Server Chat: Reporting Services Is Here" which was at January 28, 2004 this question got asked:
Host: Lukasz (Microsoft) Q: How far are you from having export to Excel 97/2000 and Word working? I heard there are plans. A: We are investigating doing these rendering extensions. We do not have a fixed timeframe for this work. This is 2.5 years ago.In this thread: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=13161&SiteID=1 the same question got asked again.

I am pretty new to RS and I currently use an ASP page and report viewer to view my RS reports. Is there a way to make RS automatically export my report to PDF format and preferably save it to a specific location? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
When the SSRS report exported to CSV file, all the column headers are added in the first row. The issue here is, I have hidden( thru Visibility property) some of the columns in the report but those columns are also displayed in the header row(first row)CSV file and the blank values for their corresponding data.for example, I have displayed only below 3 columns out of 6 columns in the report.col1, col2, col3but the CSV generated as below:
We are facing some problem while exporting the SSRS (SQL Server 2005 SP2 installed on win2K3) Report to PDF format, problem is when we export report to PDF format all the data after 80 columns gets wrapped to next page which not only increases no. of pages in the reports but also disturbs the report format for example if a report contains only one page and 320 columns of data and if we export it to PDF format then the PDF file will have 4 pages each having 80 columns of date. Has anybody faced the similar issues? would appreciate if you can give solution for this problem or forward any link which discusses the same.
After exporting a RS report to PDF the links(Jump to Report) are removed. Is there anyway to keep the links?
We moved to reporting services about a year ago and have been migrating reportings from our old platform webfocus which when we exported to PDF would retain the links.
