Excel Formulas in SSRS 2008

Question

Hello,
I need to have a report that will have formulas in excel. I understand that the limited support for exporting excel formulas has been dropped in SSRS 2008. Is there any way to work around this and still output formulas?
obvioulsy the way to do it in previous versions of SSRS are not working (using report items). I tried to add my formulas in my dataset (I can know which excel cells I need in the formulas) but they end up being displayed as text. I then have to get in the
excel file and enter and exit each cell so that it "becomes" a formula.
thanks a lot!

Answer 1

Column1                          Column2                     
Column 3
5                                         10                         
=5+10
Here text box 1 .value = 5
textbox2.value = 10
textbox3.value = text box1 .value + textbox2.value
Instead of referring Fields in Formula, Use Text box values...
=ReportItems!Textbox1.value + ReportItems!Textbox2.value
HI Gayathri ,
How about this one
col1  co12       col1+col2
1     2              3
4     5               9
2      2             4
Assuming the col1+col2 columns cell expression to be Reportitems!<col1-cells textbox-Name>.Value +ReportItems!<col2-cells textbox-Name>
Now my page header textbox consisting an expression as =sum(ReportItems!<(col1+col2)-cells textbox-Name>.Value
Now do you think changing col1 value reflects both col1+col2 value and Header value ?
I think it might reflect col1+col2 column value but not inturn reflects the headervalue .
Thanks .
