Export to Excel Error in SQL Server 2014 Report Builder/Viewer

Hi,
I am using the 2014 version of ReportViewer in a WinForm to display an RDL report.
The report was originally created in Report Builder 2.0 (SQL 2008 R2), but has since been edited in Report Builder 3.0 (SQL 2014).
The report loads and displays OK, and even exports to Word and PDF. But when exporting to Excel and then opening the Excel document, the following error occurs:
"We found a problem with some content in <filename>. Do you want us to try and recover as much as we can? If you trust the source of this workbook, click Yes."
If you click Yes, then a second message appears:
"Removed Part: /xl/styles.xml part. (Styles)
Repaired Records: Cell information from /xl/worksheets/sheet1.xml part"
The Excel document then opens, and the data is there, but there is no formatting (no border columns, colours, bolds etc.)
The three interesting things are:
- When exported from SQL 2008 R2 Report Builder 3.0, which exports to .xsl instead of .xslx, it works
- A brand new report created in 2014 Report Builder 3.0 exports to .xslx great
- In Report Builder 2014, I stripped everything back and removed all rows and columns so the original table in the report only has one empty row and column it the export still errors - it is only by removing the original table and creating a brand new table
that export works OK
It appears to be a problem with the tablix, but ideally we don't want to have to recreate our reports from scratch to fix this issue.
Has anyone come across an issue like this before, and know of any potential resolutions to it?
Thank you.

Hello,
Based on your description, you render a report originally created in Report Builder 2.0 (SQL 2008 R2) and export the report to excel with format of Excel 2007-2010.
Edit the report in Report Builder will not upgrader the report. In that case the report still with SSRS 2008 R2 RDL schema. Please try to upgrade the report by open the report in Report Designer in SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) and then try again.
If you don’t want to upgrade the report, please try to export the report
with Excel 2003 rendering extension and check if the issue persists.
The SQL Server 2014 and SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services Excel rendering extension renders a report to the native format of Microsoft Excel 2007-2010 with .xlsx as file extension. Only the Excel rendering extension is available by default.
You must update the Reporting Services configuration files to make the Excel 2003 rendering extension available.
For example, changing the value of Visible to
true in the following line in the RSReportServer.config:
<Extension Name="EXCEL" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.ExcelRenderer.ExcelRenderer,Microsoft.ReportingServices.ExcelRendering"
Visible="true"/>

Excel report generation error

Hi,
Does anyone have experienced (and solved) this behaviour?
I've been using the report generation toolkit to build word report without
problem. I've also solved a lot of problems in the excel part of the toolkit
(e.g. building graphs with >20000 points). It finally works in development
environment.
Now when I install the executable (, with the installer) the word reports
still work, but the excel report don't. The executable does run on a
different system, but the excel versions are the same (both Excel 2000).
I have copied the excel library in the data directory of the executable.
The following error is generated:
-2147319784
Old format or invalid type library
Excel_Open.vi
This is the first report generation vi that is called. I us
e it to open a
template.
Any help is appreciated.
Wiebe.

Hi,
Surfing the internet, I found this comment:
*Start quote*
Sometimes you'll find that a parameter is required that isn't mentioned
anywhere in the application's documentation. This happens when you need to
specify system information: the chief example of this is the lcid, which is
a locale identifier, and which pops up all over the place in Excel. The good
news is that there is a constant in the Windows unit which provides you with
the correct value, LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT:
var
lcid: integer;
begin
lcid := LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT;
Excel.Visible[lcid] := True;
There's also a function, GetUserDefaultLCID, but using that value can cause
an error, complaining about an 'old format or invalid type library' on some
setups. Using LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT for the
LCID value should fix that.
*End quote*
Could this be the problem?
Regards,
Wiebe.

Changing the Size of generated graph in excel report generation toolkit

Hi, i am trying to build a report generation vi for my Structural health monitoring system in which i need to export 3 graphs in to an excel report. The idea is to have the report on a single page, but when i paste them along with the ceiling and pillar deviation percentages, the report just exceeds the page limit. I wanted to know whether one can change the size of the graphs in excel? One can do it in word(tried that), but i dont want to use the bookmark option as it intend to put this up as a webservice in the next step. I am using LabVIEW 2009 Thanks.

Report Generation SHM.vi ‏30 KB

Hi,
I haven't tried this myself, but looking through the report generation toolkit the "Excel format image VI" (in the Excel specific tab of the Report Genertaion window) looks to be the one you are after. The help entry for the VI says to: "Use this VI to format any type of image in a worksheet, including front panel images, images from a file, and graphs"
Hopefully this will help.

Report generation Toolkit: Excel report functions error -2146827284

Hi,
I'm trying to create an automated report using excel functions from the report generation toolkit in labVIEW. When I run the program that generates the report first time round (the report consists of several worksheets, each worksheet is added onto the report at a diffferent state in a state machine) it always works fine and no error is generated. However, when I run the program again it will infrequently (sometimes it does, other times it will not) generate the undefined error -2146827284, this is coming from one of the excel report functions and it cannot find it on highlight execution mode.
Does anyone know anything about this error, why it occurs, how to prevent it?
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Rowan

You should use the Application Quit method instead of killing the task. I doubt this is the cause of your issue.

Excel report generation

Hello,
I am looking for a simple solution to this simple problem:
I have generated an excel data file using LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office ( see diagram below ).
Now I would like to add data to this worksheet every time I run this VI ( data must expand in column format instead of
row) but i have no Idea how to do it .
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks

That's what the start input is for. You tell it where to insert the cells.
Asides:
Why aren't you wiring the error out from the new report function to the next function?
Do not autoindex an array and wire a value to N. Do one or the other, not both. If you do both the loop will run for whichever value (N, or the array size) is smaller.
Your loop with the function node can be simplified by replacing it with a single Divide function and feeding the Divide function the arrays directly. The numeric functions (as well as many other functions) are polymorphic.
To learn more about LabVIEW it is recommended that you go through the introduction material, tutorial(s), and other material in the NI Developer Zone's Learning Center which provides links to other materials and other tutorials. You can also take the online courses for free.

Excel report generation does not exit excel

I am using the excel report generator to save test reports. I can create the report using a template and write to it when needed with no problems. After every test step I add data and save the report. I keep excel closed by using the no change setting for the window state. I do not want the user to see excel or even know it is there.
The issue is when I am done testing and use the dispose report vi, it leaves an instance of excel open that you can see in the task manager. And the only way to close that instance is to open one of the files that was created and close it and then exit excel. The memory used by that instance grows a little each time a new file is created.

How can I close excel completely after each test?

I find it very hard to believe that this function isn't somewhere in the report generation toolkit. But my 30 second look for it came up with nothing. So instead I wrote a function that does a task kill for you. Keep in mind this only works in Windows, and this will do the same thing as a end task in Taskmanager so only use it when you are sure your are done saving all reporting. Saved in 2011.

Getting a report in excel format from oracle report builder 10gDS release2

I want to get a report in excel format from oracle report builder 10gDS release2.
Is there ne method by which minimum effort is required for changing already made reports .
I have searched for it on internet :-
http://www.oracle.com/webapps/online-help/reports/10.1.2/state/content/navId.3/navSetId._/vtTopicFile.htmlhelp_rwbuild_hs%7Crwwhthow%7Cwhatare%7Coutput%7Coutput_a_simpleexcel~htm/
Example, given in the last of the page opened from the above url, is not working.
Can neone plz explain the example and how to use it
Thanks & Regards
JD

Ok, for the release 2 its quite straightfoward, in your calling form you would have something like this code:
declare
     pl_id ParamList;
repid REPORT_OBJECT;
v_rep VARCHAR2(100);
v_rep_status VARCHAR2(20);
v_repsrv     VARCHAR2(100):= 'yourreportserver';
v_serv varchar2(50) := 'yourservername' ;
begin
pl_id := Get_Parameter_List('tmpdata');
if not id_null(pl_id) then
Destroy_Parameter_List( pl_id );
end if;
pl_id := Create_Parameter_List('tmpdata');
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'DESTYPE' ,TEXT_PARAMETER,'Screen' );
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'PARAMFORM' ,TEXT_PARAMETER,'NO' );
repid := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('yourreport');     SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_COMM_MODE,SYNCHRONOUS);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE,RUNTIME);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_SERVER, v_repsrv);
set_report_object_property(repid,REPORT_DESTYPE,CACHE );
set_report_object_property(repid,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'SPREADSHEET' );
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid,pl_id);
v_rep := substr(v_rep,length(v_repsrv)+2,10 ) ;
end;
I have plenty of reports being formated to excel with this same method so it should work for you, the only diference with my previous code is this line.
set_report_object_property(repid,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'SPREADSHEET' );
The rest remains untouched.
Hope it helps.

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

Hyperlinks in RTF and Excel reports using CF Report Builder

Has anyone gotten external links to work in RTF and Excel CF
Report Builder reports? The PDF report type works as advertised in
the help, but these other two have me stumped.

Could you please tell us whether you fllowed any special procedures
or made some specific settings to launch RTF reports ?Can't help much, I'm afraid. The report and web server settings were
all made before I got here, and are not visible to me.
We can get RTF from report builder/generate-to-file and when running
reports on the web. Our servers are all Sun/Solaris boxes, although
we display on DOS boxes. Excel we get from a program, not from the
report server.
Report builder 6.0.8.10.1, database claims to be 8.1.7.0.0.
Sorry I can't help much more than saying "yes, it can be done".

Report Builder: output to Excel removes leading zeros

I'm trying to use the Report Builder to output a numeric
field to EXCEL , but on numbers that start with zero EXCEL removes
the leading zero's. ex. 00123 becomes 123.
Is there something that I can put in the expression builder
on the field to overcome this.
I've tried concatonating a single quote on the front of the
field but the single quote shows up on the output. I've tried this
on both the SQL and on the expression builder.
I've read on some of the posts where people have tried using
'mso-number-format:"\@'" within a TD tag but I can't seem to get
the syntax right inside the Expression Builder.
Has anybody got any suggestions?

Excel will remove leading zeros in a numeric field because it is treating the column as numeric. Putting a ' in front of the number forces Excel to treat the column as text.

Querying Excel file in Report Builder 3.0

I set up an ODBC connection in Report Builder 3.0, connected to my Excel sheet as my data source, and I can set up a data set that queries one sheet at a time fine. But can I join two sheets in a data set query? I always get "Syntax error in FROM
clause." I thought I could use basic SQL syntax in the query and it would be fine. Is there a certain syntax or trick, or can this just not be done?

Hi (datasci),
You can create a linked server in SSMS, then create a procedure to join three sheets. Then you can call the procedure in a dataset.
As we tested in our environment, we create a linked server and the procedure like below:
--linked server
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver
@server = 'ExcelServer',
@srvproduct = 'Excel',
@provider = 'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0',
@datasrc = 'c:\Book3.xls.xlsx', -- the path in the server where SQL server locates
@provstr = 'Excel 12.0;IMEX=1;HDR=YES;'
EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin 'ExcelServer', 'false'--, 'sa', 'Admin', null
go
--procedure
CREATE PROC proce2
as
SELECT a.Name,a.Amount,b.PtNo,b.value,c.Gender
FROM ExcelServer...[Sheet1$] as a
left join ExcelServer...[Sheet2$] as b on a.Name =b.Name
left join ExcelServer...[Sheet3$] as c on c.PtNo =b.PtNo
Then we call the procedure in the dataset, we get the expected result:
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Error using Excel as a DataSource for Report Builder 3.0 - ODBC connection

Hi Cherise,
Vishal's link looks good.
I have commercial experience in migrating Crystal Reports to SSRS. When performing any type of migration it is always wise for the business requirements to be revisited. It is likely that the business requirements may have changed since the Crystal reports
were initially developed, etc.
I've done some research for you and the following link looks quiet impressive and offers a cheap trial, in terms of a direct migration. Please tell me how you get on; -
http://www.sqlcircuit.com/2013/08/ssrs-how-to-create-report-using-excel.html
I emphasis again I have commercial experience of lots of migration projects and it would be very unwise to not revisit the business requirements as part of the migration process.
Kind Regards,
Kieran.

Converting Report Builder time-based metrics in Excel

I am having trouble with my time-based metrics (avg. time spent) when I pull it in using Report Builder. Excel seems to take it out of the HH:MM:SS format and makes it a number. So when I run a report with the Avg Time Spent metric in the Adobe Interface, the correct format is displayed but when I run it with Report Builder a random number is displayed. I can't seem to convert it to the correct time. Can anyone help?

Hi
I've just resolved a similar problem in Visual Studio whereby I had created a matrix with several columns and wanted to show each column as an overall percentage of each row.
It wasn't in sharepoint, but it may give you an idea of where to look to help you resolve this issue?
Basically, you have to tell the formula which set of data you want to add together to use as the number to do the divison by:
For example:
          |Column1| Column 2 | Column 3 |
Row 1 |     10    |     10       |     10       |
Row 2 |     10    |      10      |     20       |
If we assume we want to add the numbers in row 1 and show them as a percentage, we would expect to see 33% across all columns. In row 2, we would expect to see 25%, 25% and 50%. The formula to do this is:
Sum(Field)/Sum(Field,"RowGroupName")
It works in Visual Studio in a report matrix - hope it helps point you in the right direction for Sharepoint?
