I've built a fairly straight forward report in RS that looks normal in preview mode and in PDF format with out any issues.But when I export it to Excel report header is not appearing in each page.Any ideas as to why this is occurring?thanks in advance,Ramesh KS
View 1 RepliesI need some help. I am writing a report in SSRS 2005 that I then need to export to Excel. When I put a report header I would expect the header to not display in the Excel spreadsheet until the Print Preview or the Print. The report footer works just fine I put some text in the footer, and it shows up in the footer. The header though, shows up as a row in the Excel spreadsheet that then causes columns to merge. How do I get the report header to act like a page header?

Hi all,
Does anyone know of a way to keep from exporting a page header when rendering in Excel. We have a default header (title and logo) that I would like to suppress so that users don't need to delete the rows prior to sorting (to eliminate merged cells).
Thanks,
Simone
Is there a way to avoid exporting the page header to Excel (or any other renderer). My reports seem to lose their charm without the headers (setting Print on First/Last Page to false), and at the same time, the users don't want the headers exported to Excel.
Any input will be appreciated. Thanks.
I have a Sales report with 3 lists each being nested inside of the other and they also each contain a Matrix. Top list is for Region, followed by District and then State. I have page breaks setup so that each region appears on it's own page, followed by each District summary appearing at the top of the page with a breakdown on that page for that Districts states. In total the report exported to PDF or printed runs around 19 pages. This report when exported to PDF or printed works fine.
When I export it to excel I get a full document map on the first worksheet. I then get 10 worksheets of information breaking off the last 9. The document map links reflect the absence of this data by not actually being links from that point on. If I remove page breaks so that the number of pages created are less than 10 excel worksheets the export works fine and my document map links are created.
So does the export to Excel have a limitation on the number of Worksheets that can be created? In my case it appears to happen at 10 each time. Oh and by the way I've attempted this in VS.2003 and 2005 and SQL Reporting Services 2000 and 2005 for the same reports.
Thanks for your assistance.
Hi,
There was a requirement to have the table header as part of frozen rows in excel when exported because there are about 1000 rows in the report and the column header has to be retained during scrolling. Since only page headers will be frozen in excel export, the text boxes was copied from the table header row to the page header. After all text boxes were copied, the table header row was removed. After modifying the report, I noticed that the excel export report took more than half an hour for exporting the data. I tried to reproduce the problem in a sample and I was able to reproduce it using AdventureWorks data source. This report before modifying takes 1 minutes to export. After moving all the column headers to page header, it takes 25 minutes to export. Has anybody faced this issue and is there any solution for this performance problem? Thank you. Here are the steps to reproduce:
1. Create a new data source for AdventureWorks database
2. Create a new report with the AdventureWorks data source and with the query 'SELECT * FROM Person.Contact'
3. Run the report and export in excel format and note down the time taken for the same - Approx it will less than a minute.
4. Open the report layout and include a page header (Report->Page Header) and move the title from body to the page header.
5. Select each column header, copy the cell and paste in the page header and align it with the column in the body. Alternatively, a new textbox for each column can be created and arranged in the page header. (As a result, there are 16 textboxes in the page header).
6. Now, run the report and export in excel format and note down the time taken and please notice that it takes 25 minutes.
7. Delete some of the text boxes in the page header, the excel export takes less time and is dependent on the number of textboxes in the page header.

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 am having a main report having two subreports, say M1,S1 and S2 respectively.
The issue is S2 normally tend to go beyond one page, for all pages except first page of the of the subreport I am getting the page header and footer blank,
Actually this is not loading the ReportItems that are used in main report but it shows text boxes containing strings for eg . "My Name" and date functions eg Today()
Any Solution?

Hi folks,
I'm getting a problem when I export a report that contains a percentage value to excel. Because excel doesn't read the field as percentage.

Thanks in advance,
A space was added as the first character of the contents in the Left, Center and Right section of the Report Header and Footer exported to Excel. Example :
In the RDL, Header values are:
Left = "Product Report" ; Center = "Confidential" ; Right = "Page n of n"
In the exported report to Excel, Header properties (-->File.-->Page Setup--> Header/Footer Tab) are:
Left = " Product Report" ; Center = " Confidential" ; Right = " Page n of n"
Is there a way to eliminate that space character?
Thanks in advance.

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

Hi,
I have created a report in SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services. After I export it to Excel format, if I try to print it (Hardcopy), my Excel crashes. It shows an error and shut down. I'm using Excel 2000. It even shows me same error when I click on "Print Preview", in Excel.
Everytime I try to print the excel worksheet, a window pops up with the heading "Visual Studio Just-in-Time Debugger". The error is: "An unhandled win32 exception occurred in EXCEL.EXE [3460]".

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
Is there an option in Reporting services that can allow me that ? Thanks.
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,

Hi I generate a report successfully in SQL reporting services .
I goto the http://localhost/Reports link and I select the report I want and it renders in the browser window. Once the report is generated I then select the export option to export it
to excel
I then get this error message( see below) after waiting about 20 mins or longer
for the excel file to be generated.
There is a lot of data in this report . There is 1240 pages and there
is about 50 rows for each page. That makes it 62000 rows in the
report.
I'm using excel 2007 on my pc. I've updated sql server 2005 to sp2.
Is there some limitation to the amount of data you can export to
excel.??
Looking at the errors in the logfiles on the server I see I got the error
Connection_Dropped DefaultAppPool . This seems to be an IIS related error after searching for it on the internet.
Is there some setting I can change in IIS to handle the extra volume of data.
After doing some more tests I can export the reports that have small amounts of data to excel.
However I keep getting this timeout problem when the volume of data gets quite large.
I also noticed that when the reports server is trying to export the report to an excel file you can't access the url of any other website hosted by IIS on that particular server.
any ideas?
Or is there any known limitations in doing the above??
thanks in advance

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 ".
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have an SSRS file with 2 total reports - the first is a sort of template - a matrix with about 6 varying parameters, and the second report uses the first as a subreport - ultimately, there are about 5 subreports on the second page, all using the main "template" report, with the only variance being certain parameters. The client wanted an excel file as the end result, and I decided the quickest way to populate the data they needed would be SSRS.
My problem is when I export this stuff to excel. The template report, by itself, comes out beautifully. The expand/collapse boxes on the groups are all aligned and the data just fits.
However, when I export the "combined" report, the whole thing turns to caca....
For one, subtotals are auto-magically added in for certain groups (these aren't in the main report, and they don't show render in IE, and subtotals are showing for groups where subtotals aren't even on. ) Annoying, but not major.
More importantly, the expand/collapse buttons for the matrix groupings seem to align to the top, and not the actual row of the grouping. So, if I wanted to expand the data on say, row 11, the '+' button is actually on the previous row (row 110). This is the real showstopper and just not acceptable on a usability level.
Again - the only difference between the two spreadsheets is that one is its own report, and the second one renders the same report from a subreport. On IE it looks identical. Any reason why simply using a sub would cause such drastic differences in excel appearance??
Hello, I have a report that enables drilldown to another report through the hyperlink jump to report option in the navigation properties of the cell. The thing is I need the report to only export what the users see on the screen, which means that if the report's cell is not expanded to another report then only the current report needs to be exported. The export option will currently export all data down to last drilldown. Any suggestions?
