Microsoft Excel Workbook data-only, export missing Page Headers

We are currently utilizing 'Page Headers' rather than 'Report Headers' as a means to add header information to each page of the report. We recently upgraded to BI 4.1 sp2 with Crystal Reports 2013. All the export options for 'Microsoft Excel (97-2003)****' function such that when exported, the 'Page Header' we have on Page 1 is re-created at the top of the extract. Subsequent page headers are not created in the 'xls' version.
When we attempt to export the same report using the 'Microsoft Excel Workbook data-only' it does not contain the 'Page Headers'.
For Example:
Microsoft Excel (97-2003) data-only output:
Report Header 1
Page Header 1
Column 1, Column 2
data, data
data, data
Microsoft Excel (97-2003) data-only output:
Report Header 1
Column 1, Column 2
data, data
data, data
We are utilizing the Crystal Reports Java SDK to generate these extracts, and were curious if there is a programmatic way around this issue, or a way to place the 'Page Header' back in on export. A setting in Crystal, an API call, other?
Thanks!

hi Nick,
when you choose the excel data only option, check on Custom for the Excel Format, press the Options button, and there is an option to show Page Headers and Footers.

Not Able to Save As Microsoft Excel Workbook in Acrobat Standard X

I keep getting the error message "Save As failed to process this document. No file was created.", when trying to Save As Spreadsheet > Microsoft Excel Workbook. What can I do to correct this error?

I had the same problem with both Acrobat Pro CS6 and CC on a Mac OS 10.8.5. I was trying File > Save As Other > More Options > Rich Text Format. I would get the same error. I tried saving as a Word document to no avail. Web searches yielded no insight.
Here's how I got it to work: Tools > Content Editing > Export File To... > Rch Text Format
I think it's a bug if you can't save it under one menu but you can under another. I hope this works for you.

Crystal Reports 2008 Missing Page Headers and Footers when Exporting Excel

After upgrading from Crystal Reports 9 to Crystal Reports 2008 we have noticed that when we export to Excel the document no longer retains the page headers and footers. After doing some reading I see that there is a property called ExportPageHeadersAndFooters that we can tap into. However, I am unable to get this to work for me. Below is my code, do you have any suggestions?
                ReportDocument rdReport = new ReportDocument();
                rdReport.Load(sReportFilePath);
                ExportFormatType exType = ExportFormatType.Excel;
                // create an instance of excel formatting options
                ExcelFormatOptions foFormat = new ExcelFormatOptions();
                foFormat.UsePageRange = false;
                foFormat.ExcelUseConstantColumnWidth = true;
                foFormat.ExcelTabHasColumnHeadings = true;
                foFormat.ExportPageBreaksForEachPage = true;
                foFormat.ExportPageHeadersAndFooters = ExportPageAreaKind.OnEachPage;
                // set up more exporting options
                rdReport.ExportOptions.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.Excel;
                rdReport.ExportOptions.ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile;
                rdReport.ExportOptions.FormatOptions = foFormat;
                rdReport.ExportToStream(exType);

I was able to get it to work but I had to do this.
ExportRequestContext expReqCntxt = new ExportRequestContext();
expReqCntxt.ExportInfo = rdReport.ExportOptions;
sExported = ((CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument)rdReport).FormatEngine.ExportToStream(expReqCntxt);

Excel Data Only export fails (sometimes)

Using Crystal 12, RPT has a sub-report.
All other reports in application work fine. All other formats (including Excel) work fine with this report.
When the user chooses to export the report, if there is "enough" data the report will gpf. Enough in this case appears to be just a few hundred rows. If I run the report through CR developer directly, I also experience a GPF of CR. The issue does not appear to be data related other than row count as I am able to duplicate on my data vs the customer data.
I am downloading CR12 SP4 now and will test, but does anyone have any other ideas?
thanks

Crystal wasn't hanging, it was actually GPF'ing. I did discover the culprit and was able to work around the issue. ie I didn't solve it, I just eliminated the issue causing it.
The report had a subreport with 26 levels of grouping. The groupings were based on formulas that took information from the parent/main report and determined how to group the report. They were there to let the report sorting on the main report which my application feeds, control the sub report. CR apparently was getting bogged down in the grouping formulas. I reduced it down to 5 (my customer's hopefully won't complain too loudly) and it works.

Cross Tab export : Excel Data Only - Row headings are *bottom* aligned?

Hi All,
Having a problem with Crystal 11 / BOXI.
I have a Cross Tab working fine that has four Row groupings (labels on the left).
In Preview mode, it looks as expected. Row #1 label appears on line 1. Row #1 label shows blank on line 2,3,4 etc until it is ready to change.
The organization of the Row group is further made clear by a nice box that spans multiple rows. The Row label appears at the TOP of this box as you might expect.
In Excel-Data Only format, there is a problem. (I saved, scheduled, and ran on BO XI Enterprise CMC console.) The Excel file shows the Row 1 labels without any box (that's OK as it is "data only") however the text is bottom aligned. So the first label does not appear until the final row of the grouping.
Same thing is happening with Row 2, 3 groupings, they are all bottom aligned.
It's confusing for the users who would expect the Row grouping labels to be all top-aligned.
I have searched the forums and support site and read all technotes. I also tried several things including:
Format Field for Row#1 Name, choosing Left/Right/Center horizontal alignment (where is the same for vertical??)
Within BO Enterprise, try combinations of options under Excel - Data Only : export formatting, maintain relative object position, maintain column alignment, use options saved with report, etc.
Any ideas? Is there a way to force a top-alignment programmatically, for Excel Data Only output?
Help appreciated !

I found the answer to this question with help from SAP Support.
In the Cross-Tab Expert, Customize Style tab, click "Column Totals on Top".
Then, the Excel Data Only report will show the row titles Top-aligned for the row group.

Importing Data into MS Project Professional 2013 from Excel workbook, can it be done?

Hi all, I am trying to get data in from several large work plans done in Excel, into MS Project 2013 Pro. I am familiar with the Import Wizard, but in this case, there is nothing to map from the Excel files it seems. Does that mean that I have to edit the
Excel files and make sure there is a column called Name to key from? Or do I do something else so I don't have to cut and paste or retype all of this? Well, as always, thx (and thank the heavens u are here).
Cheers,

Jiggy --
I think it would help you if you exported a Microsoft Project 2013 file to an Excel workbook so that you can see exactly WHAT data your own Excel workbook should contain. Please try this:
Open an existing Microsoft Project 2013 file.
Click File > Export > Save Project as File > Microsoft Excel Workbook and then click the Save As button on the Export page.
In the Save As dialog, navigate to the folder where you want to save the Excel workbook file, and then click the Save button.
In the Export Wizard dialog, click the Next button.
On the Data page of the Export Wizard, select the Project Excel Template option, and then click the Finish button.
If you see a warning message about a missing filter, simply click the OK button, as this is a bug that will not affect the exported data.
Now, open the resulting workbook in Microsoft Excel. Pay special attention to the data shown on the Task_Table worksheet. Notice in row 1 how every column has a heading that describes the data. Notice that the column containing the Task
Name information is not called Task Name; it is simply called Name.
What you will need to do is to configure your own Excel workbook to look like what you see in the Excel workbook that you just exported. Then try importing your Excel workbook data using the Import Wizard, and let us know if you have follow up questions.
Hope this helps.

Well, I followed this procedure and the results are problematic. First, there is always errors on import, and no matter what's selected, the import works but with problems...
Multiple import errors of the same type, clicking Yes, No, Cancel produces the same results:
Then, unpredictable results on import, most of the time it looks like this:
The crossed out text is problematic. I have no idea why it does that, or how to fix. Well, thx for your help!

SubReport Data not Exported to Excel Crystal Version10

Hi,
I have a main report and subreport in page header which displays Company Name ,
When I export the report data to excel only the main report data is exported no subreport data is exported.
Please can anyone let me know if this is a bug ... or am I missing out anything.
I am using crystl reports version 10
Cheers
Rahul

Hi Rahul
As the subreport is placed in the page header, it will not export the data of the subreport to MS Excel Data only. This is an export limitation.
In order to display the data of the subreport you can either use MS Excel (not Data only) or place the subreport in other sections of the main report.
Thanks

Export multi page pdf to excel (searching did not answer my problem)

I searched the forum and found a few related posts but none have seemed to work for me. I do not use Acrobat much so am not all that familiar with it. I am using Acrobat Professional 8.
I have a multi page pdf that I want to export to excel. When I choose 'edit > select all' everything highlights. I then right click on the highlighted portion and ask it to 'open table in spread sheet'. It does so but only exports one page of the pdf.
I have set 'view >page display > single page continuous' but still have had no luck. If someone would help I would greatly appreciate it. Please be specific with menu commands as I may not know where to find something if you just give me the last command.

Hi,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
You can print a multiple pages of a single PDF file on one page.
File - Print - Under page size and handling, click on Multiple and then select pages per sheet accordingly.
You can print through Adobe PDF Printer which will save a new PDF file with multiple pages on single page.
Once you have this PDF file, then you can export it to TIFF for your application.
Let me know if this is what you were looking for.

Exporting only selected master pages

In an InDesign CS6 file, I want to export to PDF only the pages that use selected master pages. For example, if the file has master pages A-H, is there a way to only export to PDF pages that use master pages A-C, ignoring all the other pages that use master pages D-H?

Another interesting option might be to put all the Tabbed Pages on a different layer.
You can then double click layers to have them print or not print.
You should be able to export to a PDF and choose only the pages that are Print Layers - by turning on and off the layer print mode, you should be able to export only the pages, and only the tabs in different orders.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/indesign/cs/using/WSa285fff53dea4f8617383751001ea8cb3f-7096a.h tml#WSC468E092-6078-4fcc-9739-A9CCE50EB732a
It's in the File>Export>Adobe PDF (Print) and in the General Tab there's an option of Export Layers - and this can be set to
All Layers
Visible Layers
Visible Layers and Printable Layers
I think by Hiding the Layers for Tabs you can choose Visible Layers only and it will only export those pages.
You can then switch the Tabs back on and turn off the layer for the Body text - and export those individually.

Collaborate on Excel workbooks with Sharepoint Foundation

My company recently implemented SharePoint Foundation 2013 and our shared Excel workbooks are no longer allowing multiple users to collaborate at the same time. We have verified that all the settings and permissions are correct and that checking in and
checking out is not required. Is this something that is not available with SharePoint Foundation? We are using Office 2013 installed on the clients, not Office online. Thank you.

Co-authoring of Excel workbooks is only supported when all the editors are using the Excel web application, not the Excel client application.
From
Microsoft's overview of co-authoring in SharePoint 2013:
>"Co-authoring is easy to use from the end user’s point of view. When a user wants to work on a document in Word 2013, PowerPoint 2013, OneNote 2013, Visio 2013 or one of the Office Web Apps, he or she merely opens it from SharePoint 2013 or SharePoint
Online, as usual. If another user already has the document open, both users can edit the document at the same time.
One exception to this is that users can co-author in Excel Web App only if everyone uses the Excel Web App to access the workbook. If anyone uses Excel 2013 or Excel 2010 (the client application)
to access the workbook, co-authoring in Excel Web App will be disabled for that workbook while it is open in the client application."
>"The Excel 2013 client application does not support co-authoring workbooks in SharePoint 2013 or SharePoint Online. But, the Excel client application uses the Shared Workbook feature to support non-real-time co-authoring workbooks that are stored
locally or on network (UNC) paths."

Failed to export the report... to Microsoft Excel (97-2003) Data-only

I'm using Crystal Report version 12.1.0.892
I'm trying to export reports to 'Microsoft Excel (97-2003) Data-only' (an option I use all of the time), and am getting the message "Failed to export the report."
It only started this week. I can export to "'Microsoft Excel (97-2003)" (and PDF, etc.) without incident, but it's not what I want.
I have not made any changes to Crystal Reports, but have applied updates to Microsoft Windows XP (ver 2002, SP 3).
Any ideas?

I'm having the same error and have a subreport with 3 groups. The subreport data being returned is all in the Details section. All other sections of the sub are suppressed.
I can export the main report fine (it's just headers). I can also drill into the sub and export that fine, but of course get back only limited data. When I try to export the whole thing it chokes.
Any thoughts?
Many thanks for your help.

Export to microsoft excel(97-2003)data only

hi..
im using sap crystal report 13.0.2000.0 version with vs2010..
if report is in land scape mode and
when i export a report to export to microsoft excel(97-2003)data only,then column headers are displaced..
if it is portrait then it working fine..
for landscape mode reports only it is not working

I am not able to reproduce the issue. Make sure you are using SP1:
SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio: Updates & Runtime Downloads [original link is broken]
If that does not help, define "displaced". A pic may be worth a 1000 words :).

Export to PDF, Excel, Excel (Data Only) formatting issues

Hi Community
I have a report that consists of 5 subreports. Out of the 5 subreports, 3 of them have a similar format whereas the other 2 are different.
Iu2019m currently facing an issue whereby the exports to excel works fine, but excel (data only) has some alignment issues(i.e. the data appears below the correct columns). However, when the report is tweaked to make export to excel (data only) appear correctly, the export to excel had its data shifted out of alignment. There is no impact to pdf exporting at the moment.
Are there any people who are facing similar issues? Is there any resolution or workaround? I appreciate any help. Thanks.
FYI, the version of crystal reports is Crystal reports is Crystal reports 2008 and we are using the crystal report viewer interface to export into excel and pdf formats. The excel version is 2007.
Regards

DW, i've also run into issues with multiple sub reports. I resolved it by putting each sub report into it's own section, and then suppressing the sub report (Note, if ur trying to export subreport data to excel, I don't think its going to work. You'd need to create shared variables and then bring those sub report shared variables into your main report).
Once you bring your shared variables into the main report, suppress your sub reports, and then export to excel, you're still left with a dataset that has missing rows. This is ok. You can solve it easily within the excel file itself by sorting the data on a unique ID like Account #. This removes the extra rows.
Not the most elegant solution, but it works.

Exporting Cross Tabs to Excel - Data Only

I have a report with three cross tabs embedded in three report footers (RFa, RFb, RFc). The third cross tab in RFc, is actually in a subreport. When I preview the report and then export to excel in Excel Data Only there is no problem. Howeever, when I export the report (with the same export settings as before) without previewing it first, it truncates the data found in the first and third crosstabs. Anybody have any ideas on what could be causing this? I have played with the settings in the export options and have gotten it to export the first and second crosstabs without previewing but the third crosstab is still a problem.
I thought that Crystal reports would export exactly what is in the report and I do not know why previewing should matter or not?
Thank you for your help!

Athalia,
I tried to recreate the issue using the Xtreme sample database with 3 crosstabs in RFa,b,c with hours of the day as columns. First crosstab has rows for Region, second uses City, and third uses Country.
All 3 are summarizing Customer Credit ID and the 3rd has the sum of Last Years Sales and count of Address1.
When I export this I get the correct result whether the report is previewed or not. I am using the exporting options, Maintain Relative Object position, Maintain Column Alignment, and Simplify Page Header
I would suggest;
a) Ensure that the 3 crosstabs are left aligned and that the column widths of all 3 are the same
b) If there are any other sections in the report that are visible try suppressing all but the 3 sections with the crosstabs in them, will it export now?
c) Try recreating the 3rd crosstab adding just 1 summarized field at a time until it fails and then any formatting that you had done until it fails to try and narrow down what is causing the truncation
d) Try creating a similar report using the Xtreme sample database to see if you can recreate the issue and if so then document the steps so that I can recreate it.
