Anyone know why my xls does not have number formats when exporting from a report with a matrix?
I keep having to do 'paste special multiply by 1' on the whole thing.
Ridiculous!
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?

Hi,
I have an excel export with numeric values. When the SSIS package writes into the excel it treats all data types as strings and attaches an apostrophe in the beginning. I tried formatting the excel sheet with the number data type and saving it . It doesnt work.
Other strange thing is that when I go into the advanced editor for the excel destination and look into the properties of the external columns all of them have the data type as Unicode String[DT_WSTR] irrespective of what the data type is from the input.The UI allows me to change it to numeric for numeric columns without any error but the value is not saved at all which is very frustrating. I also tried changing it in the xml file of the package, it some how seems to overwrite it after validation. It would be really nice if it threw an error saying that it cannot be changed.
Anyways there seems to be no way of changing the destination data type if it s an existing file and if I create a new excel sheet there is no way of formatting data. Is there any way out?
Thanks
hi,
we need to export a matrix that has subtotals to excel, but to download it without the subtotal groups so we can analyze the data in excel (pivot it, add graphs, etc.).
how can we control the way the excel is being created?
Hi All,
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.

Any pointers on how to resolve it.

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 write data to excel from an ssis component to a excel destination.
Even thought I'm writing numerics, every cell gets this error with a green tag:
Convert numbers stored as text to numbers
Excel Cells were all pre-formated to accounting 2 decimal, and if i manually type the exact data Im sending it formats just fine.
I'm hearing this a common problem -
On another project I was able to find a workaround for the web based version of excel, by writing this to the top of the file:
<style>.text { mso-number-format:@; } </style>
is there anything I can pre-set in excel (cells are already formated) or write to my file so that numerics are seen as numerics and not text.
Maybe some setting in my write drivers - using sql servers excel destination.
So close.. Thanks for any help or information.
Hi
I'm trying to export data to an excel spreadsheet in a csv format. Is this possible in SQL?
Thanks,
Missy.
I am using SQL Server Reporting Services 2005.
In one of report i am calling sub report which independently renders in excel format without problem but when it is called in main report as SubReport in Data Table Cell in that cell its giving error message Subreports within table/matrix cells are ignored.
While rendering to PDF format it is working fine.I have problem only in excel format renderings..
Hi,
I have a dts package which is reading from a sql table and writing it to an excel file, its working fine except that I have a decimal field in the sql table but in excel file its writing it as string field.
The way I create this package is that I create a template file and I format that column to a "Number" format. Then I take this template file, rename it, export all the data to this file.
But when I open this file that decimal field is displayed as a string column and its left aligned.
Is there any way to fix this problem?
Thanks,
Hi,
I have a problem when exporting a report to Excel.
The problem is with the custom formatting. The report has a field named amount with its format property = C (on the properties window of the textbox in the report designer). When the user exports the report everything seems ok, calculations and so on... but the problem is when from another workbook a cell makes a reference to the cell amount of the exported report. The exported report, has this format [$-1010409]$#,##0.00;($#,##0.00) on the amount cell. In fact every format type of the report designer, begins with [$-1010409].
To reproduce this error:
Make a simple rdl with a textbox format C. Export it to excel. Create a new workbook and make a cell reference to the exported report formated textbox cell (='\ComputerFolder[ExportedReport.xls]Sheet1'!$E$15). Close the exported report and the new workbook, open the new workbook (not the exported one) and update the reference. Results in a #Ref error.
Tnx of your time and effort.
Sorry for my bad english.

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 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.'

ps:sorry for my bad english
Everything is set up the way it should be, as far as we can tell.
However, when we drop in a SQL data source and try to configure, it, we
get a blank box for choosing the connection string, and it won't let us
make a new one.
Has anyone encountered this before? If so, how can we fix it?
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.

Zero Length Strings Showing up as a Space in Views linked in Access
I have code being converted from a SQL 6.5 DB to SQL 7; SQL 7 does not concantenate NULLS like in 6.5, so i have replaced all occurances of concantenated NULLs with zero-length strings (''s); in SQL, the view displays the zero-length strings properly, but when i view the linked view in Access97, the zero-length strings are displayed as spaces; is this a SQL problem or an Access Problem? Is there a solution?
Example of display:
10132 Hampton, VA: A. Deepak Publishing
SELECT PublisherID, Info = CASE WHEN City IS NOT NULL
THEN City + CASE WHEN State IS NOT NULL
THEN ', ' + State ELSE '' END + ': ' ELSE ''
END + Publisher
FROM tblLibraryPublishers
When view is linked in Access97, the display will be:
10132 Hampton, VA : A. Deepak Publishing
(this spacing can produce a number of lookup/search problems if only the Publisher name is displayed because a space is added to the beginning of the Publisher name)
Thank you!

I have a matrix report that I am using with MonthName(Fields!Month.Value) across the top of the report. However, when there is no data under the column, the month is skipped. So, for example, I get this:
January March
Actual Goal Actual Goal
25 25 30 35
I have tried adding
iif(Sum(Fields!Total.Value, "DatasetName")> 0, Sum(Fields!Total.Value, "DatasetName"),"N/A")
But it still is not showing up.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

I am new to matrixes and I have created a dataset which I would like to populate into an expanding / collapsing matrix.
The purpose of the report is to show a list of pallets and their respective stock adjustments. I have laid the matrix out as follows...
I have spent the entire afternoon playing around with this and searching Google, but as yet, I have been unable to get the matrix to display more than 1 record per pallet. Each of the pallets below have multiple adjustment records, yet the report will only display the first one...
If I assign the dataset to a table, it displays as expected.

Hello Nice simple T-SQL question that will no doubt prove totally uncontroversial :) Anyone know the easiest way to get from:123456789to123,456,789in T-SQL? Currently I cast my int as money, use convert to varchar with style 1 and then lop off the .00. Is there an easier way? Two things before you get all upset and start squealing about front ends:1) These are admin functions that I am running from SSMS. I don't want to go to the bother of creating an application when SSMS is perfectly adequate for what I need (namely to-a-large-degree unformatted result sets).2) I'm not too fussed about it just curious.

I have used the SSIS import/export wizard to create a transfer from one database to another.
Q1: Why are some files from this wizard stored in the the temp folder ?
Example: C:Documents and SettingspbhLocal SettingsTemp
This is extreemly unuseful when checking in the solution in tfs since these files will not be saved.
Q2: I have tried to move these files and manually edit the location for these file references in the dtsx package file. However: The connection string wants an absolute path for the files..
Example:
DTS:Name="ConnectionString">c: mp1EA.tmp
How can I refer to $project$ mp1ea.tmp, a relative path to the project directory instead?

Hi,
I would like to know if there is any trick to convert numbers to csv files. I don't have any control to format the numbers.
Source: Sql server
for example:
select cast( 1 as float)/ cast(201 as float)
Destination:CSV file
the output of the file is 4,9751243E-3
i don't want to have scientific notation on the number. I want the result to be 0,00497512437810945. how can i do it?
I tried to change the type of destination columns to String or numeric but nothing works. what is the influence of changing data type in the destination columns e the output to files?
I tried using convert but with the same results.
Can it be because of local settings or something else?
thanks
