Best way to expand a report and export it to PDF?

Hi, we have created an Excel worksheet with several Power View reports. Some of the reports contain detailed information, such as a table of risks for a project. The stakeholders are quite happy with the interactive feature of Power View, as they can use
a filter to select a project and view its risks. Also it is very easy to add additional columns in the future (compared to traditional reporting solutions like SSRS that require developers help just to add some columns). However, sometimes the
stakeholders also need a static pdf output, as some stakeholders do not have Excel 2013, and they may work offline (do not have access to the SharePoint version of Power View either).
In this static version, the projects must be expanded, so that the pdf contains information of all projects, not just the currently selected one by the filter. Ideeally, if there're 10 projects, each contains 3 sheets, then each sheet will be repeated
for every project in the pdf, so there will be 30 pages in the output. But Excel's built-in print to pdf feature doesn't seem to support this scenario. In addition, some projects have a lot of risks, and in Power View, a scroll bar is displayed.
When exporting to pdf, the scroll bar is not expanded. Thus the pdf only displays part of the risks which are currently visible on the screen.
Is there a way to overcome those limitations, while keep most benifits of self servicing report? We don't mind to look into third party solutions, if the price is reasonable and the solution works nicely with Power BI. Thanks for any thought.

This is a bad thing to do with JPEGs. You're better off just reducing the 'q' if you want a smaller/faster/lower resolution image. That way you're throwing away resolution intelligently. Using scaling you're throwing resolution away unintelligently. I was on a project where 40,000 images were scaled when they should have been low-q'd. Don't do it.

  • Reporting and exporting to Excel in SharePoint Online

    Hi
    I've developed a SharePoint site to replace a legacy Access database that dealt with consumer complaints and queries. In the Access database I'd developed a feature that allowed users to filter the complaints by a number of criteria and export them to Excel
    and I'm trying to do the same in SharePoint.
    If it were on-premises SharePoint I'd just create a parameterised SSRS report which would solve all my problems. However being SharePoint online, this is not an option. I'd like the users to be able to select complaints from any date range, for any category
    of complaint and for any product supplier (plus a few other criteria). The idea is that they want to be able to then send the filtered data to individual suppliers. Doing this out of the box with views throws up several problems. The main one is that any export
    to Excel of a view exports the entire set of data, meaning that users themselves would need to create a new view for every export they wished to perform, which is not practical.
    My question is: what is the best way in SharePoint online to export a filtered subset of a list to Excel?
    I can use SharePoint designer, but not C# in order to achieve the goal. We also have SharePoint Online Plan 2 if that makes it easier.
    Thanks in advance,

  • Best way to move the distribution and subscriber to another server

    What is the best way to move the distribution and subscriber role to a different server for transactional replication?
    Stop activity on the publisher then script out the drop and create and point to the new ones?
    The publisher will remain the same server.
    Thank you!
    Paula

    Hi Paula,
    According to your description, you want to move distribution database and subscription database to a different server.
    Firstly, to move distribution database without dropping and recreating the replication topology, you could follow the steps in the
    article . However, the best way I recommend is to remove the replication, create the distribution on the new server, and recreate publication and subscription.
    To make this process simple, you could use SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) to generate scripts and run the scripts to recreate publications and subscriptions or drop publications and subscriptions as the screenshot below. Checking ‘To create or enable
    the components’ generates the script for creating the publications and subscriptions, and Checking ‘To drop or disable the components’ generates the script for dropping the publications and subscriptions.
    Firstly, please use SSMS to generate the script which is used to create publications and subscriptions.
    1.Connect to Publisher, or Subscriber in SSMS, and then expand the server node.
    2.Right-click the Replication folder, and then click Generate Scripts.
    3.In the Generate SQL Script dialog box, check ‘To create or enable the components’.
    4.Click Script to File.
    5.Enter a file name in the Script File Location dialog box, and then click Save. A status message is displayed.
    6.Click OK, and then click Close. For more information about the process, please refer to the article:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms152483.aspx.
    Secondly, follow the steps above, check ‘To drop or disable the components’ to generate the script used to drop publications and subscriptions. Then run the script to drop publications and subscriptions.
    Thirdly, please disable distribution using Transact-SQL or SSMS following the steps in the article:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms152757(v=sql.105).aspx.
    Fourthly, please create the distribution at the new server using Transact-SQL or SSMS following the steps in the article:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms151192.aspx#TsqlProcedure.
    Last, please run the script generated in the first step to recreate publications and subscriptions.

    What is the best way to safeguard my files and pictures before I send off my MacBook Pro to get fixed? I am running Mavericks and use an AirPort Time Machine to back-up all my files.

    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. You need at least two independent backups to be completely safe. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional—ask if you need guidance.
    If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you know how to restore to an empty drive.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

    In the page I simply referenced the facescontext directly... no need for a custom servlet.
    public void createcookie() {
    FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    HttpServletResponse resp = (HttpServletResponse)fc.getExternalContext().getResponse();
    Cookie userCookie = new Cookie("cookiename", "cookievalue");
    userCookie.setMaxAge(-1);
    userCookie.setMaxAge(3600);
    resp.addCookie(userCookie);
    return null;
    public String readcookie() {
    FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    ExternalContext ec = fc.getExternalContext();
    Map cookiemap = ec.getRequestCookieMap();
    if (cookiemap != null) {
    Cookie cookie = (Cookie) cookiemap.get("cookievalue");
    return cookievalue;
    For reference I could not get getCookies() method of HttpServletRequest to work.. it would only return JSESSIONID.

    Hi Jerome,
    I have gon ethrough your code again and there we are missing the destination plugin.
    We have to query the info store to get the disk unmanaged plugin.
    Below is the code
    IDestinationPlugin destPlugin = null; //Destination plugin returned by InfoStore Query
            IDiskUnmanagedOptions diskUnmanagedOptions = null; //Object returned by the getSchedulingOptions() method
            List listDestination = null; //List object to hold destination file location
            IDestination destination = null; //Destination Interface
            //retrieve the Scheduling Options and cast it as IDiskUnmanagedOptions
            //This interface is the one which allows us to add the file location
            //for the scheduling
              for(int i = 0; i< oInfoObjects.getResultSize();i++)
               oInfoObject = (IInfoObject) oInfoObjects.get(i);
               destPlugin = (IDestinationPlugin)iStore.query( "SELECT * from CI_SYSTEMOBJECTS WHERE SI_PARENTID=29 and SI_NAME='CrystalEnterprise.DiskUnmanaged'").get(0);
              diskUnmanagedOptions = (IDiskUnmanagedOptions) destPlugin.getScheduleOptions();
            listDestination = diskUnmanagedOptions.getDestinationFiles();
              String dest = "c:\\";
            listDestination.add (dest + oInfoObject.getTitle()+".pdf");
              schedInfo = oInfoObject.getSchedulingInfo();
            schedInfo.setRightNow(true);
            schedInfo.setType(CeScheduleType.ONCE);
            //retrieve the IDestination interface from the SchedulingInfo object
            //use the setFromPlugin() to apply the changes we made to the
            //IDestinationPlugin object returned from the IStore
            destination = schedInfo.getDestination();
            destination.setFromPlugin(destPlugin);

  • Best way to handle all erros and get performance(OCI)?

    Hi there,
    Im using[b] Oracle Call Interface to execute batch file process. But I have got a problem.
    I set ExecuteBatch with the same number of commit time, i.e: 100, 1000 or just 10, for thats ok.
    ((OraclePreparedStatement)globalStmt).setExecuteBatch(commit);
    And I handle executeUpdate to catch all SQL Exceptions. I made some proposital files with invalid erros but when I handle "executeUpdate" it�s doesn�t get the corrent error line, and puts out another line that is corret.
    ((OraclePreparedStatement)globalStmt).executeUpdate();
    Check in the code I concluded that its always get the same sequence of commit number like the error line. For example, I have between line 1 - 50 a line error, this line is 31, but I set the commit time for 50, its show me that line errror is 50 wherever 31. But if I put setExecuteBatch with '1' so it can handle corret lines erros, but the system performance bring down. What is the best way to handle all erros and keep the perfronace?
    Sorry for my english, I am not native. Thanks all.

    So by doing this, everything will transfer and look exactly the way I have it on the old machine?
    That is correct, if your old machine is Intel based after using MA the new machine will look just like the old machine. Here is information from Apple on MA, I'd recommend looking it over.
    My recommendation is to answer NO when setting up the new machine when it asks "Are you moving from another Mac?" The reason being let you new machine get set up and run for a couple of hours to ensure it's fine. Then launch MA and follow the prompts, it's very easy and if you use a fast connection like FW it should go smoothly.

    What is the best way to get current date and time and insert

    Is this way?.
    <cfset curtime = 'dateformat(#now()#,'mm/dd/yyyy')&"
    "&timeformat(#now()#,'hh:mm:ss')'>
    This way looks like time is not entered correctly.
    or any other better way?.

    > get current date and time and insert to table?
    You can use cfqueryparam
    <cfqueryparam value="#now()#"
    cfsqltype="cf_sql_timestamp">
    Or as was suggested, set the default for your table column to
    getdate(). Then you won't have to insert anything. Sql server will
    do it automatically when a new record is created.
