Limit report from being exported to excel

Question

We have a report that we do not want to be able to be exported to excel. Is there a way, just on one report to limit the types it is exported toDBA

Hi DBAMT,
As Pete mentioned, by default, we can only disable Excel Render Extension for the server.
However, a possible workaround to disable Excel Render Extension for a simply report is using JavaScript to remove the Excel option from the export formats list.
Please follow these steps to do so:
1.       Go to the physical folder of the Report Manager.
By default, the folder is:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.3\Reporting Services\ReportManager
2.       Please open the folder “Pages”
3.       Open the file “Report.aspx” with notepad.
4.       Embed the following JavaScript at the end of the file.
<script language = "Javascript">
//javascript: get parameter from URL
function getParameter(paraStr, url)
var result = "";
//get all parameters from the URL
var str = "&" + url.split("?")[1];
var paraName = paraStr + "=";
//check if the required parameter exist
if(str.indexOf("&"+paraName)!=-1)
//if "&" is at the end of the required parameter
if(str.substring(str.indexOf(paraName),str.length).indexOf("&")!=-1)
//get the end string
var TmpStr=str.substring(str.indexOf(paraName),str.length);
//get the value.
result=unescape(TmpStr.substr(TmpStr.indexOf(paraName) + paraName.length,TmpStr.indexOf("&")-TmpStr.indexOf(paraName) -
paraName.length));
else
result=unescape(str.substring(str.indexOf(paraName) + paraName.length,str.length));
else
result="Null";
return (result.replace("&",""));
var timer2;
var dueTime2=0
function RemoveCTLExportFormats(format)
dueTime2 += 50;
if(dueTime2 > 30000)
clearTimeout(timer2);
return;
var obj=document.getElementsByTagName("Select");
for(var i=0;i<obj.length;i++)
if (obj[i].title == "Export Formats")
var k = -1;
for(var j = 0; j < obj[i].length; j ++)
if(obj[i].options[j].value.toLowerCase() == format.toLowerCase())
k = j;
obj[i].options.remove(k);
clearTimeout(timer2);
return;
timer2=setTimeout("RemoveCTLExportFormats('" + format + "')",50);
function RemoveOption(report, format)
if(getParameter("ItemPath", location.href).toLowerCase() == report.toLowerCase())
timer2=setTimeout("RemoveCTLExportFormats('" + format + "')",50);
else
return;
RemoveOption("/ReportSamples/10000rows", "Excel");
</script>
To enable the function, please pass in the “report path”, and the format in the method RemoveOption.
Sample: RemoveOption("/ReportSamples/report1", "Excel");
Please feel free to ask if you have any more questions.
