Missing report header when exporting to Excel

When exporting to Excel from an ASP.NET application (Visual Studio 2003), some reports do not include the report header section. The reports headers are there when exporting to PDF.
I cannot see any obvious difference between the reports that export the report header and those that do not. I believe that I have the latest service pack.

I am using Microsoft Development Environment 2003 Version 7.1.6030. The About Box only says Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET. It does not show a version number.
I have not been able to find any information regarding ExportHeaderAndFooter or even ExportHeader. They do not appear to be options in this version of Crystal.
I have tried reducing the report header to a simple text object that works OK on another report but it will still not export on this one. The report footer does export OK though.

Missing page header when exporting a Numbers sheet to PDF??

I am running OS X 10.8.5 and Numbers 09 Version 2.3, all on a 2009 MBP.
I created a simple table and have a page header (title, etc).
When I print this file directly from Numbers to the printer, everything is okay.
But when I export the file to PDF and print the PDF, the header is gone.
Any thoughts?

I have done some addtional problem solving. I now have the issue isolated to the export function. It does not export the page header when exporting to PDF. It does do it when exporting to file type - post script.
Interesting.
Anybody got something to add here?

Missing report headers when exporting to XLS Data Only

Hello all,
I searched for this topic and was unable to find a similar one!
I have a report that's very long.. (Page Setup:User Defined)
When I export to Excel Data Only, with option of: Custom: Data is exported according to selected options, the output shows some headers only and skips many.
I tried going into Design view and putting grids around each feild so that they don't overlap.
How can I fix this issue?
Thanks,

Go to FILE->Export->Report Export Options then select Excel Data Only option from the Format drop down window then press ok.
Check page headers and footer check box and press ok.
This should set the options to export report header and footers.
Hope this helps!

Handling page breaks in Crystal Reports XI when exporting to Excel

We generate reports in Crystal Reports and programmatically export them to Excel for our end users, so the user receives both an .rpt and .xls version. We are upgrading from Crystal 8.5 to Crystal XI and have found with some of our reports that the page breaks in Excel are different in Crystal XI than in 8.5. The first page will fill to the end and then the next page will contain a few lines of data, the next will be full and the next will contains a few lines. Viewing the Excel page breaks, there are soft breaks before the short pages and hard breaks before the long pages. It's as if there is too much data defined for each page so it spills onto the next page before creating another hard page break. In Crystal 8.5, the paging was continuous as expected. Is there any way to fix this in Crystal XI?

Please note, this forum is dedicated to topics related to legacy SDKs, including the Report Designer Component (RDC), OCX, VCL, and Crystal Reports Print Engine (CRPE).
As the issue you are encountering is in the CR designer, please post your query to the Crystal Reports Design forum at:
SAP Crystal Reports
I'd also suggest adding more detail to your query; version of Crystal Reports used, is this an upgrade issue, new report issue, etc., etc.
Thank you for your understanding,

Missing report header on export to pdf

Hi.
I have a bqy with 3 reports in it. When I manually export the reports to pdf, it works. But when I run it through the Version 8 portal, one of the reports exports without the header.
The header does have data fields in it for company and state.
I have searched online for an answer and even consulted the contractor onsite who is doing the Hyperion 11 Upgrade, but I can't find a solution.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Barbara

Thanks.
My problem was that one report had margins and the other didn't - Plus it turns out a Subreport's margins are ignored by the parent report. I had to create a duplicate report in our scenario.

Lost collapsing columns when export to excel

I have created a report with row grouping, works correctly working in Report Server Browser,
after export the report to excel, when clicking on the + in Excel only 1 or 2 of about 100 lines appears, or there is no + head to click for other groups
a similar report works when exported to excel.
any solution what to do or whats possibly wrong?
thank you

Hi Karl,
According to your description that you are experiencing the issue when you export the report to excel, drill down report not display all the fields after expand the "+"and some group which should have "+" not shown, right?
I have tested on my local environment and can’t reproduce the issue, the issue can be caused by the incorrect setting of the visibility and also can be related to the excel rendering.
Microsoft Excel has limitations with how it manages hidden and displayed report items when they are exported. Groups, rows, and columns that contain report items that can be toggled are rendered as Excel outlines. Excel creates outlines that expand and collapse
rows and columns across the entire row or column which can cause the collapse of report items that are not intended to be collapsed. In addition, Excel's outlining symbols can become cluttered with overlapping outlines. To address these issues, the following
outlining rules are applied when using the Excel rendering extension:
The report item in the top-left corner that can be toggled can continue to be toggled in Excel. Report items that can be toggled and share vertical or horizontal space with the report item that can be toggled in the top-left corner cannot be toggled in
Excel.
To determine whether a data region will be collapsible by rows or columns, the position of the report item that controls the toggling and the position of the report item that is toggled are determined. If the item controlling the toggling appears before
the item to be toggled, the item is collapsible by rows. Otherwise, the item is collapsible by columns. If the item controlling the toggling appears beside and above the area to be toggled equally, the item is rendered with row collapsible by rows.
To determine where the subtotals are placed in the rendered report, the rendering extension examines the first instance of a dynamic member. If a peer static member appears immediately above it, the dynamic member is assumed to be the subtotals. Outlines
are set to indicate that this is summary data. If there are no static siblings of a dynamic member, the first instance of the instance is the subtotal.
Due to an Excel limitation, outlines can be nested up to 7 levels only.

Reports output delayed when exported to Excel using OLE2

Hi All,
Platform - Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 10.1.2.3 on Windows 32 bit.
The report output is getting generated in a minute when exported to PDF i.e destype=cache & desformat=pdf. When we generate the output to excel is considerably delayed. It is taking time and internal server error is occuring.
1) Report developed with simple query
2) Used RPT2XLS procedure which uses OLE2 builtin to export report output into excel.
3) Called RPT2XLS.run procedure in After-Report trigger of the report.
4) We have relased all memory objects in the RPT2XLS package after exporting data and there is no EXCEL.exe running once the file is generated.
System parameters used in the URL.
. destype=file
desformat=pdf
CONTAINSOLE=yes (Required for exporting OLE2 objects into Excel in report)
desname=path & name of the file.
I have gone through the tuning documents for reports server and increased minengine, maxengine and initengine parameters of the reports engine and also changed maxconnect and IdleTimeout parameters in reports server configuration file.
What might be the reason for delaying in the output of the reports when exported to Excel. Can the guys with special knowledge on this area help us in getting out of this issue.
Thanks in advance.

Crystal Report 2008 doesn't set page size when export to excel file

Hi,
I am using Crystal Report 2008 Developer edition.
At Crystal report design time setting the below page setup:
Page Options -
to A3(297X420 mm)
Orientation --- Landscape
and using the following code in .net (c#)
I am using below format options to export in excel in .net 2005
ReportDocument oReport = new ReportDocument();
oReport.FormatEngine.PrintOptions.PaperOrientation = PaperOrientation.Landscape;
oReport.FormatEngine.PrintOptions.PaperSize = CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSize.PaperA3;
if (aParamlist.ReportFormat == ReportFormatEnum.MicrosoftExcel)
ExcelFormatOptions excel = new ExcelFormatOptions();
excel.ExcelUseConstantColumnWidth = false;
// Use detail section one as a guideline to determine column width
excel.ExcelAreaGroupNumber = 1;
//excel.ExcelAreaType = AreaSectionKind.Detail;
excel.ExcelAreaType = AreaSectionKind.Detail;
// Prepare exporting options
ExportOptions export = oReport.ExportOptions;
export.FormatOptions = excel;
export.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.Excel;
oReport.Export();
when export to excel it doesn't set the Paper Size to A3(297X420 mm).
Is there any way to set the paper size while export to excel or in other formats also????

SSRS 2012 Conditional Formatting Color Issues When Exporting to Excel

Hi all,
We recently upgraded to SQL 2012 from SQL2008 R2. I'm having a strange issue with SSRS2012.
One of the report has conditional formattings on cell background colors. Everything works fine when render the report in browser or preview mode. However, the conditional formatting stop working when export the report to Excel (no issues if
export to pdf). All cells are high-lightened with pre-defined color although it should only high-lighten those cells that fulfil the condition.
Has someone encountered this issue before ? Thanks for any help.

Hi ZZ02,
I have test the scenario in my testing environment, however, everything goes well when exporting to Excel format. The issue might be related to the expression for the conditional background color. To make further analysis, please post the expression as well
as the report design structure.
Additionally, in SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services, the Excel rendering extension renders a report to the native format of Microsoft Excel 2007-2010, the format of which is ExcelOpenXML. By default, the previous version of the Excel rendering extension,
compatible with Microsoft Excel 2003, is disabled. At this time, I suggest that you enable the Excel 2003 rendering extension by modifying the RSReportServer.config file. After that, the Excel 2003 rendering format will be available on report manager (not
available in Report Designer). So, please export the report from report manager and check the result again.
For more information about enable the Excel 2003 rendering extension, please see:

I have tried this out with a sample.
In WEBI preview mode and PDF, all axis labels will appear fine.
But when exported to excel, some labels will disappear.
Workaround: We have to increase the chart size in Excel till all axis labels appear clearly.

Megge column when export to excel

User is requesting Excel column header to split for infoobjects that are displaying key & text. See attachment showing the column header splitting.
(Currently all key & text headers merge when exported into Excel apart from last object in row.

Hi,
this is not posibble. You can switch on the parameter REPEATED_TEXTS_DISPLAYED at the Analysis Item, but this only repeats the characteristic values, not the headers.
The export to Excel shows the same as you see in the Analysis Item in Web.
best regards

Yeah.. crystal has giving some issues while exporting reports without SPs, especialy previous versions.
So Better to install latest SP or patches for CR 10.0. I think SP 6 is the updated one for CR10.0.
For More info Go through this link,
