Exporting to Excel - How to control Column Heading?

I'm working in SSRS 2012.  I have one tablix in the report body.  The tablix has both Row and Column Groups.
When rendering in the web browser the report page breaks on a row group.  The Repeat Column Headers property is set to "True" so it shows the column headings from page to page.
When rendering in Excel, I want one worksheet and not separate worksheets so the page break is disabled via the Page Break->Disabled property expression "=IIf(Globals!RenderFormat.Name="EXCELOPENXML", True, False)".
This is all good but the Column Headings only show up once at the very top in the excel worksheet. 
Is it possible to make the Column Headings repeat with each tablix data region as it is rendered vertically down the worksheet?
OR is there a way from SSRS to set the Excel property "Rows to Repeat at top" to include Column Heading; by default the SSRS Report's header is repeated in Excel, but can the number of rows be changed to include the Column Heading?
OR is there some other work around?
Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the reply Wendy.
You addressed my second question ... "is there a way from SSRS to set the Excel property "Rows to Repeat at top" to include Column Heading; by default the SSRS Report's header is repeated in Excel, but can it be changed to include the Column Heading? 
Based on your response, the only way to freeze the column header in excel is to freeze or split panes AFTER export to excel.  well booo but I have to accept that I guess.
My first question is what I really want to do, which is to physically repeat the Column Heading in the excel rendering. I included two pictures demonstrate what I want ...
1) the standard SSRS report rendered in Excel ... Column Headings are shown once:

  • Change Table control Column Header text dynamically

    Hi,
    I have an requirement to change table control column header text dynamically.
    i.e. I have about 10 columns in table control, out that need to change 5 columns header text. These header texts are stored in an internal table.
    I had looked into the below link but could not get exactly how to do it.
    Dynamic headers in table control
    Could you please tell me how to do that.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi Saba,
    What you will need to do is this.....
    1. First replace the column Header Text box by I/O Fields and name them accordingly.
    Say for example we will consider the same example which i had explained in the link.
    there in the column header we want the header to change when some dates and entered into two fields which are out of table control say
    Start Date: 01.01.2010 to End Date: 06.01.2010
    Now we want the header to look like this,
    Column  No.    -        1               2             3                  4               5               6
    Header label   -    01/FRI       02/SAT     03/SUN       04/MON     05/TUE      06/WED
    Header name -    SPOTS1   SPOTS2    SPOTS3      SPOTS4     SPOTS5    SPOTS6
    then you go as per the instructions in the link......
    Let me know if you need further help,
    Hope this solves your problem....

  • How to get column header text in IWDTable

    Hi
    Just want to know how to get column header name in IWDTable.
    I know that you can get it with
    IWDAbstractTableColumn[] groupedColumns = table.getGroupedColumns();
    for (int i = 0; i < groupedColumns.length; i++) {
         IWDAbstractTableColumn column = groupedColumns<i>;
         column.getHeader().getText();
    But what if text isnt set on header level but its rendered from cellEditor  model binding (im not sure if its like that).

    Finally after your suggestion i did it with this code
    String header = column.getHeader().getText();
                       if ((header == null || header.length() == 0) && column instanceof IWDTableColumn){
                            IWDTableCellEditor tableCellEditor = ((IWDTableColumn) column).getTableCellEditor();
                            if (tableCellEditor instanceof IWDTextView){
                                 String bindingPath = ((IWDTextView)tableCellEditor).bindingOfText();
                                  StringTokenizer tokenizer = new StringTokenizer(bindingPath,".");
                                  String token = "";
                                  IWDNodeInfo nodeInfo = context.getNodeInfo();
                                  while (tokenizer.hasMoreTokens()){
                                       token = tokenizer.nextToken();
                                       if (tokenizer.hasMoreTokens()){
                                            nodeInfo = nodeInfo.getChild(token);          
                                  IWDAttributeInfo attribute = nodeInfo.getAttribute(token);
                                  ISimpleType simpleType = attribute.getSimpleType();
                                  simpleType.getDescription();
                                 header = simpleType.getDescription();

  • How to controll column width in report ?

    Dear All,
    i have created Classic Report but here Column width is too large.
    i want to controll column width in report .
    How can i do this..
    Thanks

    Hi Vedant,
    There are two possibilities in your case.
    1.width of your column heading is too large.
    include break in your column heading
    for ex .. column heading is employee department number then write it as *[Employee(br)Department(br)Number]* // replace ( with < and ) with > in br
    2) Value is too large
    Go to Report Attributes->edit your column->column formatting->css style
    In CSS style put this display:block;width:100px;white-space:wrap
    Hope this will helps you,
    Thanks,

  • How to Link column header only in classic Report in APEX 4.1

    Hello Everybody,
    Probably there is a simpler way to do this, but I am not sure. I want a link on column header in Report on a specific column. The link will take me to new region or a page.
    How to achieve this in APEX 4.1
    Theme : Blue 2
    Database 11g
    I see there is a column link opiton, but that creates link for every row in that column on a specific icon, I just want link on a title of the column in Classic Report.
    For Example,
    if there are two columns Name and Client ID, which has 10 records to display on a classic report. I wan the link on Client ID on header only not on the records.
    Can anybody provide some simple solution for this.
    Thanks,
    --CP
    Edited by: cpora007 on Jun 22, 2012 10:38 AM

    Hello,
    I didn't understand, what do you mean by default it is going to sort popup. I have a classic report based on SQL, which generates a report with static header, there is no sort or any other link on that.
    I added a link in column header name with an anchor. It works and takes to the new page.
    But it is not a proper solution. A solution based on Jquery dynamic action is preferable. Also the preferred option is that the link opens a hidden region of the same page at the same location of the report and the report gets hidden. after the procession on the form region and submitting the update/ insert process. the report region shows up with the change data.
    Moving on to new page is 2nd option, if the first do not work.
    In the JavaScript, put: apex.submit("GO_TO_MY_OTHER_PAGE");
    On the page, create a Branch to the Second page. Set the condition to Request=Expression 1. Set the request to "GO_TO_MY_OTHER_PAGE"
    On which page I need to create a branch?, Is it on the report page or the form page.
    Thanks a lot for the response. I appreciate your kind efforts in this regard.

    Not possible through standard I guess.
    Enhancement you should be looking is COOMEP01 which includes the component EXIT_SAPLKAEP_009

  • How to implement column header sort

    Hi all,
    Does anyone know how to configure Oracle 9i AS Portal Release 2 column header sort.
    In Portal, Oracle has setup the IDE to sort your columns using arrow keys in the
    column headers. I would like to do the same thing without using the Custom Form.
    TIA,
    Daniel N

    I would suggest using the built in Collections framework for sorting.
    have class A implement the Comparable interface then implement the compareTo method as follows:
    public int compareTo(Object o) {
        A a = (A)o;  // <-- may cause ClassCastException if (o instanceof A) != true, but that should not be a problem.
        int value = attr1.compareTo(a.attr1);
        if (value != 0) return value;
        value = attr2.compareTo(a.attr2);
        if (value != 0) return value;
        value = a.attr3.compareTo(attr3);  //Notice I switched a.attr3 and attr3 for desc
        return value;
    }That should do it for you.
    Now put everything into an instance of java.util.List and pass that to java.util.Collections.sort(java.util.List);
    If you didn't create class A, and therefore can't add a method to it, then implement a Comparator. The idea is the same, just look at the java.util.Comparator API and use java.util.Collection.sort(java.util.List, java.util.Comparator) method to sort;

Maybe you are looking for
