CF Report Builder and Excel format

Hi Everyone,
I was trying to display a report in excel format in report builder. It shows the data, but I do not find the print button options, whereas I can see it with other formats. Is this the way it is, or do I need to format anything more within my report for showing up the print button option?This is only happening for excel format
Thanks

Hi Keiko,
Yes, CF Report builder is new and initially there was few
issues with this. But I guess now it's good after hotfixes.
Well, I am using CF Report Builder. It's good for me. You can
also design and develop complex reports, that depends upon the
query you are writing. You can also add subreports to your main
reports.
Mainly CF Report is platform independent and you can also
generate reports in PDF, EXCEL and FlashPaper.
Crystal Report is no doubt is very good, and it's there for
long years. I agree you can create complex reports with this, but
you also can do the same in CF also. You are using this for last 10
years, so I guess you should try something new and that is CF
Report Builder and you can judge then.
I am sure you will have fun with CF.
Thanks

  • 9i Report Builder and PDF format differ

    Have created a report in 9i's Report builder. the formatting in the layout mode is accurate. When the report is created and accessed via the end user, the number list (currency) is no longer right justified. The PDF output pushes the numbers to the right as additional places occur. A value of $0.00 is right aligned correctly, but as values populate, they shift to the right (e.g. $100.00 is slightly to the right and $100,000.00 is even slightly further to the right.) Is there a setting or fix to keep the formatting accurate?

    Nope. The 10g report builder works fine. The issue is only with the 9i report builder.

  • Advantage and disadvantage of xml publisher, report builder and discoverer

    Hi,
    anyone can explain advantage and disadvantage of xml publisher, report builder and discoverer?
    thanks in advance!

    The best way i found was to put a equals and then double quotes... this only works for excel however it will allow you to cut and paste (ie to use the value to search in Oracle) and also to do vlookups.
    In a bit more detail:
    - I used word to generate my default table
    - this created a field INVOICE_NUM
    - in the cell in the table i put = " before the INVOICE_NUM field and then put the closing " afterwards.
    The theory is that excel will concatenate the values together... because it has quotes around it, it will treat it as a string rather than simply a value.
    For any other formats this will not work.
    I'm guessing most people have moved on and resolved this some other way, but just thought I'd share the wealth!

  • Why is printing report different from report builder and app server

    I created a report and when ran from report builder it looks fine.
    And when i moved the report to server and ran the report in the browser using this url
    http://192.1.1.8:7778/reports/rwservlet?userid=esp/esp_dev1@wdev&report=FMMA_VOUCHER.rdf&destype=cache&desformat=pdf
    and print it the report shrinks, the fonts become small and the margins change. I am having hard time how to figure out a way to correlate the formatting in the report builder and when i run on the server using pdf format.
    Is there any way to set the server so that the pdf output matches with the report builder.
    Thanks.

  • Help with Oracle Report Builder and SQL Server2000

    Hey guys,
    I just installed it Oracle Developer Suite10g with Report Builder and I am trying to use Report builder and wants to connect with SQL Server 2000. The problem that I am running in to is SQL Server 2000 i have is Window Authentication so Does not required to enter user name and password. So how can i connect my report builder to SQL server or is it possible to connect Report builder to SQL server?
    Also, I want to create small practice version of database in Oracle how do i do it? what i mean by that is I installed trial version or Oracle developer 10g from www.oracle.com and now trying to get some knowledge with oracle. Could any one can give me some direction in this matter please.
    Thank You
    Key

    Have a look at the reports help for the purpose header and trailer sections. Here is an exert:
    "Report sectioning enables you to define multiple layouts in the same report, each with a different target audience, output format, page layout, page size, or orientation. You can define up to three report sections, each with a body area and a margin area: the names of the sections are Header, Main, and Trailer. By default, a report is defined in the Main section. In the other sections, you can define different layouts, rather than creating multiple separate reports. If you wish, you can use the margin and body of the Header and Trailer sections to create a Header and Trailer page for your reports."

  • Views on CF Report Builder and Crystal Report

    Dear all,
    I would like to get your opinions on CF Report Builder and
    Crystal Report.
    As we all know, CF Report Builder is a new reporting tool.
    But I find it very difficult to design a complex report maybe due
    to limitation in its functionalities. Sometimes the tool shutdowns
    by itself without any warning and reason. But the output is nicely
    presented on a flash paper / pdf and it can be run on non-MS
    platforms.
    On the other hand, Crystal Report is a more matured product
    but runs only on MS platform. It is very easy to use and very
    powerful. I have been using it for almost 10 years. But the output
    is not nicely presented on the web browser unless if we purchase
    Crystal Report Enterprise to generate the report which is very
    costly.
    Can you all share your views? I need to make decision which
    tool(s) to use. Really appreciate it.
    Cheers,
    Keiko

  • Xml report output in excel format without using options tab in EBS

    How to get xml publisher report output in excel format without using options tab in EBS?
    I am getting XML Publisher report output in excel format by using options tab while submitting the concurrent request .
    But i want to get excel output automatically.
    Can anyone give idea to get XML publisher Report output in excel without selecting options tab.
    Thanks in advance
    Sandeep V

    Hey Sandeep,
    I am working on a similar format for a report and if possible can you please give me some guidelines. I have initially created reports using XML Publisher, but for those , the output preview format was PDF. So, if I select the preview format as EXCEL will it give me output in Excel and for this to happen, how do I define the rtf template. I believe the working will be same as for PDF, create a rdf report, get output in XML and apply the template to get the data in Excel or there is something different to this.
    Thanks,

  • Reports Generated in Excel Format

    Post Author: jase4now
    CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting
    When I schedule reports in the Excel format, it adds a blank row every other row, then shrinks it so that it is almost hidden.  Is it possible to keep it from doing this? 

    Post Author: InfluentialSoftware
    CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting
    Again, not sure if this will fix your precise problem, but generally speaking when you export to Excel, you'll get a shrunk and empty A column. To avoid this, move the report within WebI to the top left of the screen (takes some messing around) and the export will then be tidier.Andy

  • Displaying the report output in excel format

    Please help me in getting the report output in excel format.
    thnks

    I ran into a BIG problem after passing from 6i rep server to 9i rep server.
    On 6i rep server I used to set DESFORMAT='DELIMITED', and that produced reasonable tab-delimited output for reports that did not have group above (all the query groups were from left to right, not a single group having fields displayed above some other group). When deployed on rep server 9i, the same reports produced some unexplainable output: some of the rows were duplicated, but I couldn't figure out any rule.
    So, the best thing to get the reports into something that fits in .xls would be to have the output in .xml, that may be imported in Excel.

  • SQL Server Report Builder Numeric Field Formatting

    I am creating Reports in SQL Server Report builder.
    When I set format of any number fields, in design it is displaying sample value.
    For e.g. If I set format 0.00 to one numeric field, it started to display 12345.00
    I have 10-12 fields in design, it caused very much confusion.
    Is there any solution to change this?
    When I open report in Visual Studio, it doesn't display like that.
    Check Following screenshots:
    In Report Builder:
    In Visual Studio:

    Hi Harsh10,
    If I understand correctly, there are two placeholders in each textbox in the report. You want the second placeholder which contains numeric field to format as 0.00. If in this scenario, we can refer to the following steps:
    Right-click the second placeholder which contains numeric field in each textbox to open the Placeholder Properties dialog box.
    Click Number in the left pane.
    Select Number with Decimal places ‘2’ in the Category drop-down list.
    Reference:
