Export to Multiple Excel Sheets

Question

I would like to be able to export a report (or analysis) to multiple excel sheets.
I have 2 options, 'Answers' and 'BI Publisher'. Ideally I would like to use answers, but will use Publisher if necessary.
Is there an easy way to export reports to multiple excel sheets?

Answer 1

Hi jitapong,
When a Web Intelligence document is exported to a Microsoft Excel Workbook, the export is handled by the Web Intelligence report engine. Excel is not required to be installed on the machine to execute the export. So, regardless of whether Excel 2003 , Excel 2007, or no Excel is installed, the export is performed using the parameters built into the report engine. This export is done in the Excel 97-2003 format.
A limitation of pre-2007 Excel is the inability to create a worksheet greater than 65,535 rows long. Excel 2007 overcomes that inability thus allowing users to create worksheets of much greater length.
Resolution:
Web Intelligence 3.1 versions overcome the 65,000 row limitation by exporting the document to multiple worksheets within the Excel Workbook. Each worksheet will be 65,535 rows long. For example, if a query returns 150,000 rows of data the resultant export to Microsoft Excel would produce a single workbook with 3 worksheets. 2 worksheets of 65,535 rows and 1 worksheet of 18,930 rows. This export is compatable with Excel 2003 and 2007.
