Reports exported to Excel - Formatting issues

We have two Business Objects Enterprise servers (boxi r2 and boxi r3.1 sp3) running side by side. We find that reports created using boxi r2 and exported to Excel format look fine. When we run the same report and export to excel using boxi r3.1 sp3, we encounter the following formatting issues:
<ol>
<li>All columns do not fit on pages. The last 2 to 3 columns spill over onto extra pages.</li>
<li>There are some columns where most of the values are blank, but when a row is exported that has a value in that column, all subsequent column positions for that row shift.</li>
<li>All rows do not fit on page. The last two rows flow onto a new page, then there seems to be a page break.</li>
<li>On some reports dates are displayed as ######.</li>
<li>On some reports column headings are not centered.</li>
<li>I would appreciate any input that would help us determine a fix for the formatting issues we are encountering.</li>
</ol>
The report is executed using CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.
Here is the code from the application that does the export:
                            ExportOptions exportOptions = new ExportOptions();
                            exportOptions.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.Excel;
                            exportOptions.ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile;
                            DiskFileDestinationOptions diskOptions = new DiskFileDestinationOptions();
                            diskOptions.DiskFileName = filename + ".xls";;
                            exportOptions.ExportDestinationOptions = diskOptions;
                            ExcelFormatOptions XLOptions = new ExcelFormatOptions();
                            XLOptions.ExportPageBreaksForEachPage = true;
                            XLOptions.ExportPageHeadersAndFooters = ExportPageAreaKind.OnEachPage;
                            exportOptions.ExportFormatOptions = XLOptions;
                            rptDoc.Export(exportOptions);
Please note the following details about our environment:
<h5>Report Designers:</h5>CR Designer version: xi Rel 2
<h5>Developer environment</h5>Has the following installed:
- Business Objects Enterprise XI Release 2
- VS .Net 2008
- Crystal reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008

Umm, the code you provided has nothing to do with Business Objects Enterprise...(?). So, I'm a bit confused by the mention of BOE and "The report is executed using CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine" in essentially one paragraph.
Can you pls explain?

Export to excel - Formatting issue - OBIEE 11.1.1.5

Hi All,
When an analysis is exported to Excel, some of the values are showing some strange behaviour i.e. some values are multiplied by some huge number as you can see in the excel screenshot below.
BI Analysis Screenshot:
http://i44.tinypic.com/331eopf.jpg
Excel Screenshot:
http://i44.tinypic.com/34snqko.jpg
Is this BI issue or an Excel setup issue? And how to fix it?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
We too faced the similar issue.
We tried ROUND function and it was coming with proper formatting.
Try and let me know further.

WebI to Excel Format Issues

Hi Guys,
I have a problem that when I export a BO report to Excel, the bar graph from BO gets very scrunched up and narrow, with the X-axis barely visible once it goes to Excel. But in BO, the report looks great. With all the cells aligned and matching. Is there a way to manipulate something in the BO report to make it Excel friendlier?
thanks in advance, will award points.

Excel formatting issue in Cisco Unified CCX Historical Reports

Hi Team,
We are using Cisco Call Manager 7.1.5.20000-6 & CCX version 7.0(1).
The data report pulled in PDF format is in perfectly alright but when i try to extract in Excel format it gets in destorted format.
The sub-titles dont get reflected, column width & line spacing is not proper.Kindly find the attached files of both the formats.
Plz suggest for the same.
Rgds,
Atul Kaul.

The "Cisco Unified CCX Historical Reports Scheduler" sits in my startup folder but seems like it doesn't "run" at startup. So I ran a "test":
- Manually right-clicked the "Cisco Unified CCX Historical Reports Scheduler" icon in the startup folder and chose "Run as Administrator"
I didn't log off or reboot PC and the reports are running again. I checked the "properties" of the icon and I did make sure it was already set to "Run this program as an Administrator" under the "Compatibility" tab.
Not sure why it's not working...
Thank you for any help you can provide....

HELP: Strange Number Formatting Issue

G'day All,
I have a stored procedure which is available via the web which generarates a customer report. I've just noticed that my number fields that have decimal values are being rounded to the nearest whole number.
The SQL that grabs the data to be used in generating this specific table uses TO_CHAR(decimal_field, '9990.00') etc a number of times. example values are:
0.27 becomes 0.00
45.44 becomes 45.00
I've double checked the underlying data and the values definitely have decimal values as the examples I listed above are from. When I run similar queries via the SQL COMMANDs web page the data is correctly formatted. It just appears to be with in the stored procedure.
BUGGER I've just noticed that it is happing on "Report Regions" where I have also used TO_CHAR(decimal_Value, '99990.00') etc.
Does anyone know WTF I've done or not done. I'm pulling my bloody hair out as "IT SHOULD JUST WORK!!" :(
Regards
Mark

G'day Chrissy,
Thanks for you response, I've just logged it the demo application on my local instance of apex v 3.0.1 on Oracle XE and and as you would have it, I cannot for the life of me get the Number Formatting issue to occur at home.
So when I get back into work, I'll give your suggestion a go.
That said, I've modified the DEMO application specifically the TOP 10 Product report using every combination of the TO_CHAR (your way, the ways that I believe I'm using) and it works fine. I've created a new table with decimal values and a new report and it works fine. I even tries putting records with null values in the decimal field, but it worked fine.
I've just switched themes (even though themes have no influence of a dynamically create html page via procedure) annnnnd it works fine.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Just maybe, just maybe it was Friday-itise and when I get in Monday it will just work, unless I get stung by Monday-itise :)
I'll keep plodding along,
Mark

Export to Excel - Formatting Issues

I am using Crystal XI and Excel 2010.
I have created a report that is Letter size and Landscape orientation. I export it to Excel and, when I open it in Excel, the columns seem to look ok, but the segmens that are in the Report Headers (there are two) are stretched way out to the right so that printing causes two pages to be printed with the second page containing the fields that were located on the right edge of the report's headers.
The title banner is also shifted so that, where it is centered on the report, it is now almost right aligned on the first page of the Excel sheet.
The Page Header, Footer and Detail sections appear to be correct.
I tried a redesign changing it to Portrait orientation and this (sort of) fixes the headings (when Excel is set o print in Landscape), but the Page Header, Footer, and Details sections are squeezed up to a third of the page width.
I'm accepting all defaults for the export, and the Report Headers re required (ie, exporting data only is not an option).
Is this a known issue, or is it something I'm not doing right?
TIA

when you export the data, do you have an option for excel data only?
Yes I do. It's labeled "Microsoft Excel 97-2000 - Data only (XLS)
when you click on the export
select to application, i believe that is the only time you get the options.
No, the options will also appear when you select "Disk file" as the Destination. But neither way works as advertised.
to next step select options
when you select the options it drops down
on the bottom you have boxes on the left and right
Yes, but, while there are four check boxes on the left ("Export object formatting", "Export images", "Use worksheet functions for summaries", and "Maintain relative object position"), there are only three on the right ("Maintain column alignment", "Export page header and page footer", and "Simplify page headers")
I tried checking 1, 2, and 4 on the left and 1, 2, and 3 on the right. No joy.
Just now tried checking 1, 2, and 4 on the left and 1 and 2 on the right. Also no joy.

Webi XI report export to excel--- Formatting issue

Post Author: Sougata
CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting
We have WEBI report that contains cell with hyperlink. The value of the cell in numeric. Type is string.
When we export this report to excel. In, Excel version is MS-office Excel 2003. In excel it is showing those green with Error --- "NUMBER STORED AS Text".
Any solution?

Hi Steve,
As per my understanding, the issue occurs because Excel Destination gets the data from the source. We can change it, but once it re-validates it will change it back. This makes sense since we cannot change the data type in the actual table. To work around
this issue, I suggest that we can add a data conversion or derived column to explicitly cast the values.
Besides, the suggestion post by Arthur means that we can add IMEX=1 to the value of Extended Properties in the connection string of the Excel connection manager in the Properties window to specify Import Mode. For more details about the settings of IMEX,
please see:

Export to Excel formatting Issue

Good Afternoon,
I am trying to export a dataset to excel 2010, however all of the columns are exporting as DT_WSTR although the table that the data is coming from is set correctly either to money or int.
I have tried to change the data type in the advance editor for excel destination, however when I execute the package the data type changes back.
Any idea's?.
Thanks

I am testing this training that I created on my laptop in
Captivate 3. On my laptop (15"), the display size is perfect.
However, when I check the training on a larger monitor (21"
widescreen) the display size is larger cutting off the playlist bar
(eg. play, stop, back, etc...). To make it worse, their isn't a
scroll bar to go down.
I tried changing the resolution but the display screen
remained constant through all tests. Can anyone please help me?
THANK YOU SO MUCH IN ADVANCE

Any chance you can post a screen shot?

Issue while exporting report in Excel Format

Hello,
I am facing problem while exporting the report in Excel Format. After analysis, I think that it could be due to two reasons, either we are using wrong versions of Jars, or we are using wrong API. Here is the code, approaches and problems we are facing. Please help.
First approach we are using is:
// using basic API
import com.crystaldecisions.reports.sdk.ReportClientDocument;
// get client document from crystal report API and open the report by specifying the report name, with path
               ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc = new ReportClientDocument();
               reportClientDoc.open( reportPath, 0 );
               // give chance to extending classes to configure the report document by POJO or by sql parameter etc, just adding the parameters infromation using ParameterFieldController
               configureReportDocument( reportClientDoc, reportMetadata, reportData, reportContext );
               // get data source of crystal report
               Object reportSource = reportClientDoc.getReportSource();
               // export the data - we have also tried with MSExcel format
               ReportExportFormat exportFormat = ReportExportFormat.recordToMSExcel;
               LOGGER.debug( "exportFormat[" + exportFormat + "]" );
               ByteArrayInputStream byteArray = (ByteArrayInputStream) reportClientDoc.getPrintOutputController().export(
                         exportFormat );
Problem Faced: Specified Excel format is not supported.
Second Approach: We come to know that excel format is supported with new releases and with occa package.
Then we tried with import com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.ReportClientDocument; It ask to set the ReportServer. When we are trying to set the server as
               reportClientDoc.setReportAppServer(ReportClientDocument.inprocConnectionString);
Application is unable to find 'ReportClientDocument.inprocConnectionString' property. It seems like we are using some old jars. However we have downloaded the latest released jars for eclipse 2.
Please help for it. Issue is to export the report in excel format, which is currently working fine for PDF. If this problem is related to Jars, please suggest the path to download the latest jars. We also looking for the latest jars like rasapp and rascore etc. But these are not available with Crystal Report for Eclipse 2 release.
Waiting for urgent help. Thanks you..

Mohit

Cells merge issue when extracting webi report in excel format

Hi Experts,
We have some WEBI reports in BO XI 3.1.
The reports have header where we are showing report name and some values which user selects in prompt.
Now the issue is that when we save our webi report in excel format, many cells get merge.
I have read many post on scn which suggest some solutions like changing the autofit width option to no and aligning the header width with colums.
Tried both the option but no success.
Is there any other way to achieve this.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Rishabh

Hi,
We managed to find the workaround for this merge cell issue.
Sharing it might be helpful for someone.
- Align the report name and other block in report in such a way that the ends are in line with the end point of any column. The only limitation is that when applying pivot to the excel output we neet to click on any of the ccolumn so that excel identify the data set.
- Second workaround is to break the webi document in two parts report1 will contain the report name and the block to show the prompt values selected by the user where as report2 will contain the table withactual data. The only limitation with this workaround is that when exporting the repot output to excel we will get two tabs in the excel sheet one containing the prompt values and secont tab containing the actual data.

RS

Issues while saving the Webi Report locally in pdf and Excel Format

Hi,
I am getting issues with the images on a Webi Report when I try to save the reports locally on my machine in either a pdf format or in an Excel Format.
I think the issue is that when I am trying to save the report it saves the address of the image binded in the report but it doesn't save the image/download the image and when the report is opened locally it couldn't refer to the image location.
I am using BOXIR2 with SP2.8.
I am not sure what should be the right solution for this. Any insight or resolution will definitely be helpful.

Hi;
I would investigate on the load balancer and/or Apache front end servers, are you sure you don't have a keep alive setting enabled somewhere on one of these servers? in the Tomcat connector maybe?
