Authid= RWUser for excel reports. Authid=userid for pdf reports

I have the following 2 questions:
1) I get the following error when I try to run a jsp report (for excel output), when I pass authid (that is the actual userid who is running the report)
javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: REP-50171: Authentication failed
2)When I run a pdf report, I go through the rwservlet. In that case if I pass the authid as parameter, the correct value is passed. However, when I run an excel report, From the UI (jsp), the report (jsp) is invoked without going through the rwservlet (the way we invoke rdf's). In that case the auth id that is passed to the report is not the actual user id but RWUser. Where am I going wrong that the authid is not the actual userid but RWUser in case of excel (jsp) reports?
This is how I invoke jsp:
http://servername:port/reports/prj/prjreports/repname.jsp?....

Questions rephrase:
1. Is the output is same for HTML and Excel options ?
2. Why the output is viewable with HTML option and not with Excel option ?

Issue in MS Word report but not in PDF report

Gurus -
I am developing a BI Pub report and the results can be in PDF or Word, the users decide. For one field, NOTES, if there is no data, I don't want a blank space. I have an IF before my NOTES field, <?if:not(NOTES)?>, and it works fine when I'm displaying the results as a PDF. But when I display the results in Word, I see an blank line.
Any thoughts??
Thanks!!

Bex variables not surfacing in analysis for excel

Hello Gurus
We are in BO 4.0 and BW 7.1. We have some variables(istep =1) used in a bex report and we have a workbook of analysis edtion for excel on top of this bex report. The bex variables work fine first time but when the data changes these variables are still showing the old data, they are not getting the refreshed data. Can anyone please help me on this. Thanks in advance.

First install the latest SP. Second enable "refresh data on report opening" on your report. This makes sure the workbook refreshes the data displayed each time you open the report. Third try to delete the crosstab and reinsert the crosstab.
Hope that helps!

How to go to a particular object in drill down detail pdf report?

In drill down html reports I could directly go to a particular object in the detail report from the summary report by using hyperlink destination property in the detail report and hyperlink property in the summary report.
How can I do the same thing in drill down pdf reports? The summary pdf report is opened first and then clicking on any of the object in summary pdf report should direct me to the same object in detail report.
Thanks for your help.
-Jayshree

Unfortunately PDF doesn't support this concept. You could ensure that the detail report has bookmarks, then the user can easily see the different sections of the report.
Hope this helps,

Problem for Report Generation Toolkit for excel 2000

Hi all,
Now I am Developing my program with Report Generation Toolkit 1.1.0 and Labview 7.1.
In my computer I am using Excel XP, and there is not any problem. But when I build to
a exe file, and use in a computer with Excel 2000, it didn't work.
And I try to check the source file in this computer, I found that there any some connection
error. And this is caused by the active X class. As I know Excel 2000 is using Microsoft Excel
Object Library 9.0, but i cannot find it in the list of active x. So it is using Microsoft Excel Object
Library with a very old verison. So in the property node there are missing functions, such as the
UsedRange in _Worksheet in the Excel_Get_Range.vi. However, In VBA, I can find the 9.0 Library.
Is it the problem of 9.0 library? How can I solve the problem? How can I upgrade the library to 10.0?
Thanks.
Regard,
Ryan

Hi Mike,
Since my program is for all the staff in office, everyone may use it.
I cannot call the whole office to upgrade the excel to XP.
And I think Report Generation Toolkit is alway support Excel 2000,
since the old version of it is not support for Excel XP.
Regard,
Ryan

Hello All,
Is there any way to setup the Page Layout for Excel export of the report.The user will export the report from HTML view on Workspace to Excel from File Menu options.After viewing the report in excel the user should be able to directly print the report without setting the page size and all.
The Page Set Up option seems to be working for PDF but not in excel.

How to get an effective EXCEL Spreadsheet as output for Oracle report 10g

Hi All,
I am a newbie in Oracle reporting. I am using 10g. I have an oracle report whose output format is PDF from the user interface. User asked for Spreadsheet output. I changed the JAVA CODE "desformat" = Spreadsheet and got the report in Excel. But this report is not as expected as it has many blank cells, misplacements etc and looks really ugly. so Is there anyway to get an excellent spreadsheet as output.
If anybody needs any more information on this, please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you so much Marwim. Your suggestion is very helpful. But I have some other Oracle reports which have only one .rdf file giving output in both pdf and Excel. This doubt might be silly. Almost same features were existing for the rdf what I am working now. For the remaining reports, it was given that DESFORMAT=SPREADSHEET , what this report lacks. I googled and found these links http://docs.oracle.com/html/B13895_01/orbr_paptoexcel.htm &
http://docs.oracle.com/html/B13895_01/orbr_paptoexcel.htm#CIHFDJAJ . But they are not intended for excel output. they generate only web layout in spreadsheet form. Could you please suggest any other ways to achieve this.
Thank you in advacne.

How to Design Report for Excel output?

Hello Experts...
I have both versions Crystal Report XI and Crystal 2013 at this time as we are in the process of Upgrading...
How to design for excel output with no page size limit.
I have several fields going across (crossing width of paper size 11X17 landscape) and I do not need this report output to be printed at all only for excel output.
Appreciate your time!
Thank you,
Padma

Hi Padma,
You would need to increase the Page Size horizontally. Go to File > Page Setup > Check 'No Printer' > Check 'Dissociate Formatting Page Size and Printer page Size' > Increase the Horizontal value.

Excel rendering not correctly for SQL SERVER 2012 (and reporting server)

hi
I have a tablix that has a category, subcategory and total items column. The total items are grouped into subcategories which are in turn grouped into categories. When using the wizard we explicitly indicate that the subtotals and totals should NOT be displayed.
When displayed in SSRS on IE and we expand/collapse all the categories this works fine, however when we export these to an excel file using the export button we notice that the subcategories total is displayed with an empty cell when we toggle all the subcategories
under one category.
It seems that it used to be a SSRS2008 r2 problem but is that still the case for 2012 and what can I do to fix this?
help would be much appreciated.
thanks
eddy
eddy.a

Hi eddy,
Based on my test, I can reproduce the same issue in SSRS 2012. When exporting to Microsoft EXCEL, excel will add an extra row for each group, if we use the “=Sun(fields!column.value)” in the details row, then the extra row will display the total of this
group, if we use the fields!column.value in the details row, then the extra row will display the first value of this group.
Please refer to the work around to fix the issue: add an extra row to the bottom of the tablix, outside of the group below. Then, set the border style with “None” value of these text box.

Amit Blumshtein

Hello,
Thank you for the replies. I did resolve the issue above (K9 072), the account group gave me a cost center and cost element that was blocked for use. Once I usees a valid cost center and cost element, the error went away.
We are using SAP version 4.6
With that said... I did receive another error, "Enter a numeric value"
Enter a numeric value
Message no. 00 052
The valid cost centers are alphanumeric, not just numeric. For instance: IT1 is a cost center.
Can alphanumeric values be used? If so, how to I go about making them work with the upload in KP06?
I have looked at the layout in report writer (KP66) and I see no options on allowing alphanumeric values. However, I am very new to this and just may be missing it.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much!

Is WebI the best tool for Excel file reporting?

For many years we use BO/DeskI to produce reports. The data source was DB2.
From time to time, the users find the production so user friendly the begin to use DeskI for reports with Excel files for input.
They create hundreads of reports with the 'Rich client' service.
Now we are upgrading to WebI and the Rich Client will be on the server. The BO Service server is a small machine, because of the licences we have.
We have bigs questions :
is WebI/Rich Client still a good solution for Reporting for external file like Excel?
Is this solution will create a ressource problem on the server when more then 100 peoples will connect and use the service?
Should we limite the external file for the rich client location on the server (we do not want to install any more software on client computers like with DeskI)?
Is a product like Crystal Report a better solution for office reporting (file like Excel, Access, text file, etc)?
In one word, is WebI the best solution for office reporting or we should go for a product like Crystal (server, ressources and licence limitation)?
Thanks

You should not compare Crystal Reports with Web Intelligence. If you were using DeskI then you should go with WebI because that means you are using ad-hoc reporting. WebI is the new DeskI. Crystal Reports is used for other purposes not for Ad-hoc reporting. You use Crystal for pixel perfect reports not for analysis.
For excel data sources, are you going to use Excel with universe design or directly in WebI?
If you are going to use it with Universe, then you will have some connection limitations. If more than one user tries to refresh the report based on excel universe, you will get an error.
On the other hand, if you will use the excel directly in WebI, you cannot refresh the report on InfoView (BIlaunch pad).
As you mentioned with not installing client tools then your choice will be the first one excel universes.
Hope this helps.
