Issue while exporting report in Excel Format

Hello,
I am facing problem while exporting the report in Excel Format. After analysis, I think that it could be due to two reasons, either we are using wrong versions of Jars, or we are using wrong API. Here is the code, approaches and problems we are facing. Please help.
First approach we are using is:
// using basic API
import com.crystaldecisions.reports.sdk.ReportClientDocument;
// get client document from crystal report API and open the report by specifying the report name, with path
               ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc = new ReportClientDocument();
               reportClientDoc.open( reportPath, 0 );
               // give chance to extending classes to configure the report document by POJO or by sql parameter etc, just adding the parameters infromation using ParameterFieldController
               configureReportDocument( reportClientDoc, reportMetadata, reportData, reportContext );
               // get data source of crystal report
               Object reportSource = reportClientDoc.getReportSource();
               // export the data - we have also tried with MSExcel format
               ReportExportFormat exportFormat = ReportExportFormat.recordToMSExcel;
               LOGGER.debug( "exportFormat[" + exportFormat + "]" );
               ByteArrayInputStream byteArray = (ByteArrayInputStream) reportClientDoc.getPrintOutputController().export(
                         exportFormat );
Problem Faced: Specified Excel format is not supported.
Second Approach: We come to know that excel format is supported with new releases and with occa package.
Then we tried with import com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.ReportClientDocument; It ask to set the ReportServer. When we are trying to set the server as
               reportClientDoc.setReportAppServer(ReportClientDocument.inprocConnectionString);
Application is unable to find 'ReportClientDocument.inprocConnectionString' property. It seems like we are using some old jars. However we have downloaded the latest released jars for eclipse 2.
Please help for it. Issue is to export the report in excel format, which is currently working fine for PDF. If this problem is related to Jars, please suggest the path to download the latest jars. We also looking for the latest jars like rasapp and rascore etc. But these are not available with Crystal Report for Eclipse 2 release.
Waiting for urgent help. Thanks you..

Hello Andrea.
I searched through the SAP Notes for the error that you are encountering. There is an SAP Note that exists titled the following:
1332907 - Report being exported to PDF format using the Crystal Reports for Eclipse 1.x runtime, errors with the exception: PdfExporter: caught Exception in PDFFormatter.finalizeFormatJob
Since you may not have access to the SAP Notes, I will extract the details that are mentioned in the note here:
=============================================
Symptom
Attempting to export a report to Adobe PDF format using the Crystal Reports for Eclipse 1.x runtime results in an exception.
The exception indicates "PdfExporter: caught Exception in PDFFormatter.finalizeFormatJob"
Environment
Windows 2003
Apache Tomcat 5.0
Crystal Reports for Eclipse version 1.x
Reproducing the Issue
Using the Crystal Reports for Eclipse runtime version 1.x attempt to export a report to PDF format that has the "Repeat Group Header on Each Page" option enabled.
Note: This does not occur if this option is enabled in a subreport.
Cause
When the "Repeat Group Header on Each Page" is enabled for a group in a main report the Crystal Reports for Eclipse 1.x runtime is unable to correclty format the PDF document which results in an exception.
Resolution
Updating the application to use Crystal Reports for Eclipse version 2.x runtime will resolve the issue.
The most recent updates to the Crystal Reports for Eclipse runtime can be freely downloaded from the SAP SDN Website.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/crystalreports-java
=============================================
Since you are on JRC 11.8.4.1094 which is Crystal Reports for Eclipse 1.x, this may be the cause of your problem.
I hope that this helps.
Regards.

Historical Report - export report in excel format

Hi,
We are on UCCX 8.0 (SU2). We have an issue with Historical when we tried to export report in excel format, the report does not display in correct column. It's very confusing. We could manually correct (rearrange) the column label but it take lots of time as we have so many reports.
Is there anyway to fix this issue? Does anyone experience the same issue with Historical Report?
I attached the pictures for example.
Thanks,

This type of behavior is a bug. I took a look in the bug toolkit and there are several defects filed against the Agent Summary report in 8.0 but not one that matches this behavior. I would venture a guess that a DE was sloppy when fixing another bug and introduced this on us.
You should open a TAC case on this. It is also possible that this defect already exists but is not public in the toolkit yet.

Exporting report to Excel format

We try to implement automated export to Excel Format but Crystal Report XI Java runtime doesnu2019t support export to Excel Format but pdf.
Do I need to migrate to Crystal Report Eclipse 2.0 for exporting report in Excel format?
Or I can deploy the Crystal Report Eclipse 2.0 Java runtime only for exporting to Excel Format?

As I know, you can easily export the data from an MS Access Report to Excel, but it's really hard to get the formats exported along with the data, or just not doable at all.
Please see these links:

Also, keep in mind...it's easy to export the data from a report to Excel. You can certainly setup Excel as a template, which has all the formatting applied and just sits on your disk drive...somewhere...waiting for you to dump new data into it from
a new report...whenever you need it.

How to export report IN CSV format through JAVA.

how to export report in csv format.when try to export in csv format.its exporting into csv but report not containing column heading , report heading and it showing all the data in a single line.we have integrated the reports with java.

Use a Java API which can create PDF files based on some collection of plain vanilla Java objects (List, String, Number, etc).
Google can find them all. Just feed it with something like "Java PDF API" or so. A commonly used one is iText.
That said, when talking about this in JSP context, ensure that you do NOT write raw Java code in JSP files using scriptlets. Raw Java code belongs in Java classes. In such case you need a Servlet. In JSP just use taglibs and EL to interact with backend Java code and data. Scriptlets are discouraged since over a decade.

How do I generate a report in text format

How do I generate a report in text format and send it to both a file and to a printer?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I run a series of tests on multiple stations and I need to generate a report, both electronic and one to be printed for a DHR (device history record), for each station. If I use file i/o as you suggested is the preferred approach to generate an electronic file and make the report from that, or generate both the electronic and hard copy report from arrays as the measurement data is acquired. Note that the electronic data is more detailed than the data in the hardcopy report.

Is the Design in Character Units set to Yes?
How are you viewing your layout in report editor? Are you viewing with Grid?
If it is Yes and with grid, try to fit your layout objects within the Grid.

SSRS reports in text format

hi
how can i save a report in text format using ssrs 2008 R2

Hi Gourav,
By default, SQL Server Reporting Services render a report to .CSV File Extension with CSV rendering extension. While device information settings for the CSV rendering extension allow us to change its format from .csv to .txt format, we can modify FileExtension
setting in the RSReportserver.config file as below:
Please navigate to RSReportserver.config file: <drive:>\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10_50.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportServer\RSReportserver.config.
Backup the RSReportserver.config file before we modify it, open the RSReportserver.config file with Notepad format.
In the <Render> section, modify the code for the CSV extension like this:
<Extension Name="CSV" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.DataRenderer.CsvReport,Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataRendering">
   <OverrideNames>
        <Name Language="en-US">TXT (Pipe Delimited Text File)</Name>
    </OverrideNames>
    <Configuration>
        <DeviceInfo>
            <FileExtension>TXT</FileExtension>
        </DeviceInfo>
    </Configuration>
</Extension>
Save the RSReportserver.config file.
For more information about CSV Device Information Settings, please see:

How to export report to xls format ?

hi guys,
i am running apex 3.2.1.00.
I came across this in the documenation
You can download an interactive report back by selecting Download from the Actions menu. Available download formats depend upon your installation and report definition but may include comma-delimited file (CSV) format, Microsoft Excel (XLS) format, Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF), and Microsoft Word Rich Text Format (RTF).
I am able to download only in csv and pdf form. So when do i enable during installation for XLS format ?
Rgds,
Noob

hi jarola,
sorry to post a different question here, but i would really seek you attention to this question as i have been finding the solutions for days...
from this thread >> Re: multiple reports in a single report region ?
is it possible to export several reports in a page as a whole ?
e.g
on a page, ii have 5 regions, each region has 1 report.
can i do a export on 1 csv or pdf which contain all the 5 reports together as one ?
or is it possible for me to squeeze 5 report together in 1 region ? so i do a export for the 5 report as a whole at one time ?
thank you so much!
Rgds,

Unable to add special characters such as # and ( in headers of Report in Text format

Hi,
I am working on developing a report that will be exported to tab delimited text format from SSRS. The Report has been developed and it is getting exported to tab delimited text format. However, special characters in the heading are getting trimmed. I would
like to get these special characters in the heading of text file. Any help in this regard will be appreciated.

Hi Abhijit,
Per my understanding that you have add an extension which export the report as .txt format, now the issue is the special characters"#" not display after exportted, right?
I have tested on my local environment and can reproduce the issue , this is by default, when you type some special characters "#" as the textbox name in the properties window or as calculatted field name you will get error pop up window,
if you type the text in the textbox as "#" it will also not display in the CSV or tab delimited text format report.
But we have some alternative method to make them display some way, more details information below for your reference:
Display "#" in the table header
If we want to make them display in the table header, we need to create an new table an put all the table header as one record in the table, because the value in the table can display "#" correctly：
I assumed you have four columns as the table header(Test1#,Test2#,Test3#,Test4#) please create an new table (HeaderTable )to store these value:
Create two dataset2:
Dataset1: display the record from step1
DataSet2：display the record of the report
Create two Tablixs as below and both remove the header column, Tablix1(Dataset1) diplay the value comes from the step1 as the new header column:
Tablix1(Dataset2):Report Data
In this way, when export to tab delimited txt, you will got the table header display correctly.
Display "#" in the textbox outisde of the tablix
If you just want to display "#" outside the tablix, you can just add an calculatted field(Test) and use expression like below to specify the value which you want to display in the calculatted field:
="test######test"
Then you can use below expression in the textbox:
=first(Fields!Test.Value, "DataSetName")
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

*_Problem that I am facing:__*_
I can create report in .rpt format, it is working fine here. But while trying to export this report in CSV format, it gives report that doesn't contain any information.

Hi,
I too am facing the same problem.
The report was made in 8.5. I have exported the report & opened it in Crystal report 12.
I can export to PDF, RTF, DOC & Tab separated Test.
However when I export this report in .csv (legacy mode) I just get the header & when I export it in .csv (Standard) I get a blanck .csv file.
I have checked 'Isolate Report/Page sections' and 'Isolate Group sections'. Still no data in the report.
refreshed it too.
I contains sub reports, but not in the page header & footer (I think) & it does not seem to have cross tabs & OLAP grids.
Any help is appreciated.
