Columns doesnt wrap in Excel output

Hi,
I have a Table in RTF template which has 7 fixed width columns. I have couple of description columns in the Table and I have set "Wrap Text" option for those columns so that column width remains the same even for "long" descriptions. This works fine for PDF output and I get output as I see in the template. Problem is with Excel output. In Excel, column width is automatically adjusted to fit text. "Wrap Text" option is set for the column in MS Word. I have also tried using <fo:block wrap-option="wrap">, <fo:inline wrap-option="wrap">, <fo:wrapper wrap-option="wrap">. But still text is not wrapped in Excel. All I want is that the column width should remain constant and it shouldnt be resized to fix text. Can anyone throw some light on the above issue? Your help is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Murari

No light - but I see the same issue - so it is not just your configuration.

But our requirement to display it like NASHOBA VALLEY MED CTR.

Word wrap in RTF for an excel output : BIP 11g

Hi,
If we set the word wrap property in RTF and generate the output in Excel format, it doesnt reflect. However, PDF output reflects the difference.
Looks like Excel overrides the property set in RTF. Is there anyway to text wrap a column for excel output?
Thanks,
Divya

Dear,
There is a strange case, we have an customize concurrent program to display output in xml format. Now Problem is, if query get single record on the bases of parameter then there is no column heading available in excel. However, if parameter meet more than one record then there is no issue with column heading and reports is working find.

Dear Pk,
Here is an example, will show the actual problem. Let explain you, first i have run report by restricting query on single record which output name is "output1", again i run same report by changing where clause so it return multiple row which is "output2". if you past code in text document each one and save it as xml but when you open this file in excel report you will find column heading which rows consist multiple row, however, ouput1 file have no heading columns that's a problem.

Hide column in Excel output?

I have a .cfm file generating Excel output using CFContent.
The client want to have certain data in a hidden column.
I am already using XML to freeze the header and I tried
hiding the column by using a <LeftColumnVisible> tag within
the WorkSheetOptions (which is what Excel generates when you hide a
column). But it doesn't come through in the CF output.
Any suggestions?
Ken

Thanks. But "Exclude XML output" does not work dynamically. It cannot be set to "No" or "Yes" programmetically.
What I would like is to provide my user a parameter "Show Column X? (Yes/No)". Based on user's choice, the Excel output should display or hide column X.
Thanks for the response!

How to avoid WRAP of EXCEL Column HEADER Fields

We have 3 tablix in the rdl file with 11 inch * 8.5 inch (to print in A4)
Tablix 1 - HTML viewer
Tablix 2 - EXCEL
Tablix 3 - PDF
The size of the rdl is fixed , if size altered then printing becomes an issue.
So we have to keep the rdl size fix
but at the same time the WRAP of column header of the EXCEL need to be avoided ,
because if the size of the column header is not reduced then we cannot be able to accomodate in the defined page size
Eaxmple of SOme Header Field Name
1.OccupationCode
2.ChargeJobPhase which are quiet large fields, so it need to be wrapped(to reduce the length of the column to accomodate ) to fit in the page.
So as an Alternative option I use the COncept of Subreport and called it by adding row outside group otherwise the
Report Server treats subreport as new report for each instance of the parent report.
The challenge we faced is when export to EXCEL some of the columns is getting merged , I believe the size of the child report (sub report) is having the length
greater than the parent report (Called Report ) and the size has to be large otherwise the COLUMN HEADER need to reduced which makes it Wrapped
So is there any alternative without changing the parent report size and without WRAPPING the HEADER text of CHild report the MERGING of cell can be avoided.
Since MERGING is happening which is not allowing us to PUT FILTER in EXCEL but we need to have FILTER applicable since the END user use it to sort, find the records.

Hi SubhadipRoy,
In Reporting Services, whether to wrap text or not is depended on the CanGrow property. If we set the CanGrow property of tablix header row to true, then the header row of tablix will be expanded. If we set the CanGrow property of tablix header row
to false, the header row will be shrunk as the designed size.
So if we want to avoid wrap text, we can try to set the CanGrow property of tablix header row to false in Reporting Services level. Alternatively, we can click the Wrap Text button to enable the expended extra-long text property in Excel level.
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

Missing column data in Excel output

I have a report where one object is not displaying when output to excel. When refreshing the report in Webi or Deski, the results show, but when it is exported to excel, that particular column is missing data...the column header still shows though. I have tried adding the formula =Trim([Object]) which worked once but is not working in this instance. Any ideas on what may be causing this and potential fixes?

Hi,
There are no merged columns. I made sure the table is flush to the top of the report. Also the column header is visible. See below. I highlighted the Summary column in webi to show the formula that had worked previously to alleviate this issue, but as you can see in the excel output, it is not working. Also, I made sure the formatting of that column is the same as the other columns.

Fixed column width in Excel output

Hi,
Can we fix a column width when we are viewing the report output in excel? Can we do that in RTF template?
If the column name is too long, it is automatically inreasing width of the column...But I need the column to be of a fixed width.

You should try Excel templates instead of RTF templates. This is the best method to control Excel output formatting like column width.did you try excel template ?
for example for 3 nested group?
from Re: Can XDODTEXE produce BI Publisher output?
i tested true excel template on ebs r12.1.2 and it works only for one group and for two group the result awful it duplicate and mix data
IMHO true excel template very limited yet

Clob column in excel output

Hi All,
I have a clob column in my RTF. when I preview the output in excel...complete data is not visible in the cell of the spread sheet but when I click on that perticular cell of the spread sheet. I can see the whole data at the top of the spreed sheet. I've searched this forum and came accross same issues but they where left unresolved.
Is there a way to show the complete data in the cell of the excel sheet ?
Thanks in advance....

I've never worked with Clobs in Excel output, but from the sounds of it, all of your data is present in the Excel output, it's just that the column is not wide enough or the cell is not tall enough to display all of the data.
As "rick_me" wrote in this post Re: Number and cell formatting in RTF
Excel takes it's cue from the RTF template for how to size the columns.
You can also give Excel general guidlines as to the row height.
Put your data into a Table in the RTF template and experiment by altering the height and width of the table cells.

Amount formating in Excel output of XML Publisher Report

Hi,
I have to display my XML output in Excel format. I want the output of amount column to be displayed in form '#,###.00' and the negatives numbers are to be displayed in parenthesis. For eg number -234.5 should be displayed as (234.50).
I tried <?format-number:AMOUNT;'99G999G999G990D00PT'?> and also <?format-currency:OPEN_BALANCE;'99G999G999G990D00PT'?>.
Both of these works in PDF output, but its not working for Excel output.
Any input is appreciated.
Thanks and Regards

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!
