Issue sorting dates in export to excel

After exporting to excel, the end-user wants to sort on a date characteristic (posting date), using excel functionalities. This gives an incorrect result:
01.01.2006
01.01.2007
01.02.2006
01.02.2007
If we sort on a time characteristic (calendar day), the list is sorted correctly.
If we run the report via the BEx and then sort (using excel functionalities), it is also correct :
01.01.2006
01.02.2006
01.01.2007
01.02.2007
How can we enable the correct sort?
Thanks for your help!

Dear Karthikeyan,
I was also facing the same issue, and the reason was the diifferrence in the protocol of the J2EE WAS and that of Diapatcher.
check whether J2EE WAS and that of Diapatcher are both on http or on https. If they both are not same, that's the issue.
Hope it helps!!

SSRS 2008 R2 - Missing Data when Exporting to Excel or CSV (Row Count is 500)

Hey Folks,
When exporting SSRS 2008 R2 report to an csv or excel file not all the rows are being exported. Any suggestions on why this is occurring. The number of rows is less then 500 and it seems to be a pretty straight forward export. Any help is
greatly appreciated. Inherited this and not sure if this would be configuration issues or something else. It is happening on a number of reports.
Thanks.

Hi Humbly,
According to your description, when you export report into CSV or Excel format, some rows are missing.
In your scenario, since you are missing data “rows” in your exported file, we are guessing if you have any visibility setting like toggle which hide those records. It’s possible that you have set toggle or visibility in your report. After exporting
Excel/CSV, some data might not appear properly. In SSRS 2008 R2, it has reported this kind of issue about data missing after exporting. However, those scenarios are not exactly same as your issue. It mostly turns out be conflict between data and “layout render”
and related to DataElementOutput property. DataElementOutput property controls export behavior, it indicates which report item data should appear in Excel/CSV render. For more information, please refer to this article: Reporting Services:
Why aren’t all my report columns exporting to CSV and/or XML?.
As we tested in our environment(SSRS 2008 R2), no matter what we export into CSV or Excel, we get same results as in BIDS . So I would like to know your report design structure. If possible, please provide some screenshots about results in BIDS and Excel/CSV
render extension results. It may help us find out the root cause of your issue. Thank you.

Issue with SSRS Report Exporting to Excel and word

Hi,
When report is exporting in word and Excel getting format issue, but same report export with pdf there is no issue.
Regards,
Afroz

You need to be always careful when export format is Word and specially Excel. Sometimes report result looks good in Report Viewer and PDF too, but it may not in MS Word and MS Excel.
You need to understand Word and Excel limitations and align all the data regions (Tablix, Rectangles, Texboxes) in correct way.
Also, you may post the actual formatting issue that you get. (With screenshot if possible)
Please read Limitation section in below:

CR cut the data when exporting to excel

Hi all,
I ve a formula field in crystal report to extract string data from database. Due to some issues, the length of this formula is fixed to display 20 characters. This is ok as the report is exported to excel and excel can display all data no matter this field exceeds 20 characters or not.
However, after I enable the Top border formula editor (Format Field->Format Editor->Border tab->click the button "X-2" button besides Top"), CR can only export 20 characters for this field and cut the rest data. Anyone can help to check?
Best regards,
Grace

SubReport Data not Exported to Excel Crystal Version10

Hi,
I have a main report and subreport in page header which displays Company Name ,
When I export the report data to excel only the main report data is exported no subreport data is exported.
Please can anyone let me know if this is a bug ... or am I missing out anything.
I am using crystl reports version 10
Cheers
Rahul

Hi Rahul
As the subreport is placed in the page header, it will not export the data of the subreport to MS Excel Data only. This is an export limitation.
In order to display the data of the subreport you can either use MS Excel (not Data only) or place the subreport in other sections of the main report.
Thanks

VbCrLf in expressions cause loss of data on export to Excel

I have a report where it is necessary to embed 3 text boxes in a rectangle, which then lives in a Tablix cell:
Within the highlighted cell lives an expression. It was necessary in this case to use commas to separate the values and then manipulate these in Excel to put them on new lines. VbCrLf, VbLf, VbCr were all tried to no avail. There can be
4 of these but only the first 2 would display. The point of the post is to engage discussion really. This is the work around in this case.
What's funny is all other instances of using rectangles to house text boxes works. And of course, it's not string length because there are other parts of the report that work.
Was not able to rapidly find this on Google so got with a consultant here where I work. It has something to do with the ASCII values returned by VbCrLf, VbCr or VbLf that cause truncation to happen in some cases.
It was hard for me to find so I'm passing the knowledge along. Having a handy consultant saved a lot of spinning wheels on dead-end google searches.

Michael Durthaler

Hi SACSgtMike,
According to your description, you have add VbCrLf in an expression to make four values display on different lines within a textbox. But when exporting the report to Excel, only first two values can display, right?
As we tested in our environment, the VbCrLf can work fine both in preview results and Excel. We have specified the expression like below:
=Fields!SalesTerritoryGroup.Value + "," + vbcrlf + Fields!SalesTerritoryCountry.Value + "," + vbcrlf + Fields!SalesTerritoryCountry.Value + "," + vbcrlf + Fields!SalesTerritoryCountry.Value
The report both in preview mode and Excel work fine. In your scenario, since you mentioned the VbCrLf doesn’t work fine after exporting to Excel, would you please provide some screenshots about results both in preview and Excel for our analysis. Also please
share some sample data and report design.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Viewing issues for custom list exported from Excel

Exported a table from Excel to use in our Sharepoint Online site. I am a site owner. The table/list shows up for all owners. When a team site member tries to view the list it only shows the headers and no items. The list is inheriting
the permissions from the site and the members can see other content on the site. I have even stopped the inheritance and set custom permissions for the list but it still only shows for owners. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for the help.

Petra,
The Forum isn't really designed as a training system but rather where people can share questions or get a separate pair of eyes to look afresh at issues that aren't working for some reason. This is particularly the case for something which is as important as creating dimensions.
The idea of the SSM Cube Builder/Model Designer was to enable people to build models with their relevant dimensions and metrics for demos and simple initial systems using manual data entry. If you are getting into building dimensions that will be outside BW then you are moving into the implementation arena rather than demo creation and need to work carefully so that things tie up.
I doubt people would expect to be able to set up/implement BW without training and SSM is the same.
If you would like training or would like to collaborate on a first project to enable skills transfer then my colleague Pedro and I would be happy to discuss this. We have done this with other people and it has worked well.
Regards
Colin

SSRS Report is missing data when exported to Excel via a subscription

I have an SSRS report on a daily subscription that creates an Excel attachment and emails it to a number of users. Some of the users are reporting that they cannot see all
of the data in the Excel attachment.
The report has a date column and 6 numeric columns, and the affected users cannot see the numerical columns - the fields are empty. The date column is displaying
correctly along with all of the column headers.
If however I change the format to XHTML, all data is displayed for all users.
What's weird is that it is not affecting all users - for the affected users, the file size of the attachment is considerably smaller so it doesn't look like the
issue is with their PC's - the data is not there to begin with.
I've tried setting the DataElementOutput property on each of the fields to Output but no luck.
I am using SQL Server 2008R2.

Hi Wolfmeister,

Sorting data for export

I need to use one form (a questionnaire) with various groups. Will the data for everyone who completes my form always be appended to the same file for export? Can I export only part of the data (i.e. that for a specific group) instead of all of it every time? Maybe include a required field called password that I can use as a filter variable before exporting?

All of the data is put into a single response tab. You can filter the data and only export what is shown.

Issue in Export to Excel on Prod Environment

Hello friends,
I am facing a strange issue while doing an export to excel from WD table only in a production environment. The code works fine in dev and qa systems. the only difference is the lanscape where the production server is clustered wheras the other servers are of single node. The code i use to do the export is as below.
..get byte data
Resource= WDResourceFactory.createResource(new ByteArrayInputStream(tabledata_byte),fileName,WDWebResourceType.XLS,true);
wdContext.currentContextElement().setTableResource(Resource);
IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createNonModalExternalWindow(Resource.toString(),"Excel Window");
window.show();
Kindly let me know if there is anything to be done in a clustered environment to make it work.

Exporting to Excel data only using sub reports in Crytal 9

Post Author: pmstar
CA Forum: Exporting
I am using Crystal 9 verision.
I have .rpt file that used 4 sub reports .In the main report I placed all the sub reports in the(detail section) row and using the data for some caluculation in the main report to generate report fields.I placed the main report fields in next row( in detail section).However when i export the report .Its generating 5 empty rows and 3 rows with 0. I have pretty much followed the solution from the article "c2017620" published in BO.
Since i used the sub reports only to get some value for main report calculations .Is there any workaround for the following issue
1.I do not want to print the subreport data when exported to excel data only.
2.how can i get rid of the blank rows
We have a lot of reports which has the same issue and we need to get the reports to work in Excel Data only .The reports works perfect when used in PDF format but its mandatory that we need to give the reports to the client using Data only.
If possible, when responding with your recommendations, please include detailed steps. It would be very helpful.Thanks in advance,

Hi,
Of what i gather from ur scenario...this is what i did in one of my reports.
I had to use two subreports and they had to occupy one cell each, in line with other fields.
To obtain that,all the fields required in the subreport i put them into a text box.Therein restricting the fields to the txt box only...
Then import that sub-report as it is.
It worked for me....
try out...
All this only if've understood u right...

Problem in ALV Data Exported to Excel

Dear all,
When an ALV data is exported to Excel i see that the data is shown in 2 lines
and a blank line is inserted between each data.
Can any body please help.
with rgds
Ranjith Singh

Hi Ranjith,
How many columns that you extracted to excel from ALV?
Would you give more specific to your case?
As I remember, ALV has its limits for extracting number length of column to excel.

Data in table does not export to Excel

Why the invoke node Export Data to Excel produces empty Excel sheet with no data?
If I manually highlight the table control on the Front Panel, then run the VI again, data get exported. How does one highlight data in the table automatically?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

murchak,
I think this is happening to you because of the LV data-flow paradigm. If your screen shot is all that is on your block diagram, then the Invoke Node actually executes first, when there isn't any data in the table. Then, the "Table Control" 2D array is populated after an empty table has been exported. When you run the VI again, the data from the first run is already populated within the table, and thus the it *appears* to working. In actuality, it was working correctly the whole time, but the first time there was just no data to export because it executed first.
You must use data flow (wires, essentially) to ensure that the data is written to the table first before the data is exported to Excel second. A flat sequence structure or error wires (preferred) can help:
Hope this helps,
