We have developed few reports through SQL Server Reporting Service 2005.
All those reports are columnar graphs (BAR charts).
One of the requirement of the project is to have the ability to export the report in different formats.
Since our reports are columnar graphs we are unable to export it to CSV or MHTML format.
Is there are setting in the report, which allows me to display the values, when exported to csv format?
also is there any setting for MHTML format. Some machine open the report in MHTML format and some machine does not.
I am exporting a report run in Report Services to an Excel spreadsheet. The report contains a field with a format of percentage with calculated percentage data. (The field is a calculated field). If there is no data then the reporting services report shows a 'NaN' value in the report field. This is fine for the report. When this report is exported to Excel the percentage data column shows only #####. The data in the Excel edit window will show the correct value of 0% but the column data in Excel shows only the pound signs. When I change the format on the Excel column it doesnt change the ##### signs. The format on the reporting side is specified as (p) or as (p1). Is there a way to correct this problem?
The export of the reports also adds a decimal and a tenths digit to the integer values that get exported from the report builder to the Excel spreadsheet. This is unwanted but is fixed in Excel by changing the format.
I am using client reports and SQL server 2005. I have created reports that accepts datasets and displays in the reports. I am also displaying the client's product image in the reports.
The problem I am facing is this. When I export the report to excel for the first time every thing is fine. The issue is when I export after the second time.
From the second time whenever i export the report to EXCEL, I see that the second excel sheet does not follow the same alignment and format the first one had.
I am using expressions for the textboxes in the Table control Header, because the header names should be displayed in both English as well as in Japanese based on the language selection.The report works fine and all the render formatts except CSV are working fine.when i export this report to CSV, the header names are not coming in the first row of CSV , but some other textbox names (eg textbox 34..) are being displayed on the first row of CSV.From second row onwards, i am getting the header names seperated by comma and the data is being displayed.This header names are being repeated for all the rows in the CSV along with the data.Please give me a solution regarding this.
I tried by setting Data Element as "NO" from "Auto".I could stop the header names being repeated from second row in CSV, but i couldnot get the names in the first row of CSV.
I need to have all the header names as first row in csv and from the second row, i need data.
For developing a report I'm using SQL Server 2000 with SP4 & MS Visual Studio .Net 2003. After expoting a report in excel format file, the size of the excel file is so much big that while openning the report file it seemed to be hanged the PC.
Is there any way to reduce the size of the excel in reporting services?
I searched the list but did not see anything related.
I cannot open a file directly exported from RS in the Excel format. If I open the file in the Windows version and then close it, no need to even save it, I can then open it with the Mac version of Excel. The file size after closing is about 2K less so the RS program is adding something onto the file that the Mac version does not like. It will crash Excel when trying to open.
I cannot export the report as CSV as it will not correctly import into Excel on the Mac.
Any help on my request would greatly be appreciated. We are trying to maintain the growth of a particular table, by exporting and deleting data that is older then 90 days. Here are the 4 steps I need to do. I believe I know how to do 1 and 4;
1. Create a job that continously exports data that is older then 90 days to a text file
select *
from table A
WHERE (CREATED < DATEADD(DAY, - 90, GETDATE()))
(the column 'created' datatype is datetime and looks like this '3/5/2007 3:11:44 PM')
2. Have the job automatically name the exported file, the day it was exported (i.e. 07032007 (todays date))
3. Then zip that file (we're using 7-zip)
4. Then delete the data out of the table
delete
from table A
WHERE (CREATED < DATEADD(DAY, - 90, GETDATE()))
Im not a big scripter/coder, so I was wondering if there is anything I could do in SSIS. Im more familiar with DTS, so any kind of baby steps you could provide in SSIS, would go a long way.
We use an internal tool that can display ASP pages. I would like to use SQL Reporting Services to create reports in ASP format. The ASP page will access the database to get data. Is this possible possible with Reporting Services?
Having just discovered that linked reports do not retain any print formating applied to the original report I thought I'd check out the forum and see if it was just me having a senile moment or if Microsoft had in fact dropped a clanger of massive proportion.
After reading one or two questions from other RS users it does seem as if Microsoft have stuck again and completely diminished a useful feature by stripping it of anything, well....... useful. Well done MS, you once again have my applause for mind-boggling ineptitude of what should be impossible magnitude. Ah, you've got to laugh.
Maybe this and other bugs with RS2005 will be ironed out in Microsoft Reporting Services 2008 - The Search for More Money.
We are using SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services and looking to render our reports to Microsoft Word format. We€™ve searched around and haven€™t really found any useful information on how to do this.
Is Microsoft planning on releasing a Word rendering extension? If so, when?
Has anyone written a custom rendering extension for Word? Or, does anyone know how to write a custom rendering extension for Word?
We need either a Microsoft solution that€™s already built-in to Reporting Services or a solid, free solution. We are not in the market of buying a third-party product like OfficeWriter.
I had developed my reports using SQL 2005 reporting service. While crerating the report i set the page size to 8.27in Width x 11.69in Height. I am calling this report in my aspx pages using report viewer.
But the problem is I can't able to set the size of the page to A4 size. When i set the size of the page to A4 while printing the page is divided into two pages.
Is there any way to override the print option in reportviewer where we can set the page size to A4 ?

Currently, I have to manully create RS 2005 reports which I export into an Excel later. Is there a way to create a SSIS package that could automate this somehow?
 i have 4 SSRS reports. each report must be scheduled to run at different time and then send the send the reports in txt format (tab delimited) to a ftp server .I am new to SSIS and SSRS.

I have a problem when I try to export my report to a PDF file. Definitely what you see in the Report Designer is not what you get when you try to export it to a PDF. My biggest problem is with a table. When a cell contains a long text, and when its content is exported, part of the text is shown in the next cell in the created PDF.(I don have any error message, no overlapping, nothing) So, I would like to know what happen. Is there anything I can do... I have checked all the properties of the table, but it seems that everything is ok....
Well that´s it , any help/opinion/sugestion/coment I will aprecciate....(sorry for my poor english)
I have been asked to export the database schema (containing table names, field names, data types, field lengths, field defaults, nulls, etc) to an MS Excel spread sheet. "sp_help filename" provides some data but the format is difficult to manage.
All help with this matter would be greatly appreciated....

Here is my problem: There is some data which we need to move from a vendor database to our Oracle database. The vendor has provided us with the exported data from their database. The data is in a text file with some delimiters to identify where each column value ends.
One of the table columns extracted has an image. I dont have real image files, but I have the image in the exported format (hex value - something like 'FFD8FFE000104A46494600010001009600960000FFFE001...". Now I need to import this as a image into a LONG RAW or BLOB column in Oracle database. But it is not possible to do so in Oracle, so we have planned a work around for this.
1) Import the data back into SQL Server 2) Export the actual image files(.jpeg or .gif) on the desktop 3) Import the image files from desktop to Oracle database.
The text file that contains table information has rows like below. 2~jones~jenny~j~bad show~1989-05-14 00:00:00.000~304303F....... (last value should go into an image column)
I would like to know how to import such hex-stored image data into image column in database table. I have tried to direct import using BULK INSERT, but doesn't work.
I would appriciate if someone can provide some working code as well, which shows how to achieve the above functionality.
My environment is Windows 2003 Server(japanese)+SP2 and SQL Server 2005(English)+SP2
I've been having a problem with Reporting Service.When i export report to PDF file,the text(mixed japanese and english)gets all garbled and unreadable in Vista OS.but in windows xp every things is well.i tried upgrade adobe reader to the recently version ,but there is no help.
I apologize if I'm posting this question in the wrong forum.
I have a query that exports data from an Oracle database to an Excel spreadsheet. The application that executes the query is Computer Associates Eureka Report writer. I do not have direct access to the database or any of its objects. With the data in Excel, I run a VBA macro-driven inventory report. The Excel spreadsheet row limitation is not a problem presently, however, the query exports a lot of extraneous data that I don't need. I actually export about a dozen columns of data however I'm only listing 4 in the example below.
Example:
CaseNum ActionDate ActionType ComplCd 1029901 09/08/2006 F 0 1029901 09/11/2006 C 0 1029901 08/18/2006 C 1 1029901 08/17/2006 F 1 1029901 08/01/2006 F 1
When the ComplCd = 1 I only want the query to export one row of data for each CaseNum. Is there a way to code my query to accomplish this?
I was wondering if someone was able to comment on something that I've encountered using SSRS.
I have set some items with the ToggleItem property and viewing the report, the [+] and [-] buttons show. However when the report is exported (to pdf, mhtml or even tif), the icons are no longer there.
Need to export a report into csv. The report contains a table with one group, the group header contains infomation that needs to be shown once at the start of the csv. Currently the group header repeats for every record in the detail. How can I stop the group header from repeating.
I export a table to excel file by using DTS. It seems the date field show as ###### when I open the excel file. If I expend the column I see the date. Is there any way I export in away that this date field will not show up as #####.
