Problem when report is exported to excel

HI gurus,
I have one formula in report which gives one number as output.But in report it displays some hardcoded text which has been populated through WAD with the help of classes and interfaces.
So now the report displays the text on web.But when exported to ms excel the actual output(number) of formula is downloaded.
I want that text to be downloaded in excel.Please let me know if it is possible.Plz reply if problem is not clear.
Regards,
Prasanna.

Hi,
i wil mail you a javascript. give me your id, i can paste it here. But this will only load data for the current page. This is somewhat a work around. BUt this is just for the current page.
If you need entire stuff, raising an OSS message can help, but i believe SAP is already aware of the same.
Just check whether an OSS note already exist.
Regds,

Hidden report items with toggle are visible in Excel when a report is exported to Excel.

Hi
I have 4 Bar charts and 4 text boxes in one report in SSRS Report . These charts are hidden based on parameters. I have one visible chart and one text box when report is rendered .
When report is exported to excel 4 charts are visible. Each Bar chart has one textbox in toggle box. If I set toggle to None all hidden charts will be invisible in excel file.
I used iif(Globals!RenderFormat.Name=" EXCEL",False,True)
but it does not work when the chart is toggled by a text box.<v:shape alt="" id="Picture_x0020_1" o:spid="_x0000_i1025" style="width:6in;height:396pt;"
type="#_x0000_t75"></v:shape>

Hi Katherine
Thank you for your quick response.
I am working with three versions .(SQL SERVER 2008, 2008 R2 and 2012)
I designed all reports in SQL Server 2008 and uploaded them in other versions.
For example, I have a chart that it is invisible when the report is initially run.
I want to hide this chart in excel when I export it to Excel format.
In SQL Server 2008: If the toggleitem of a chart sets to a text box the chart is visible in excel when it is a hidden item in the report .
I checked in PDF and word format it is fine and hidden items are not displayed.
There is this scenario for SQL Server 2008 R2 and SQL Server 2012. I tested Globals! RenderFormat in two versions but it does not
work. The main issue is toggleitem. If I remove toggleitem from hidden items they are invisible in three versions when they are exported to Excel. I am not sure if I design report in Sql Server 2008 R2 I can hide some
report items with toggle in Excel format or Not?
Thanks

Reporting and exporting to Excel in SharePoint Online

Hi
I've developed a SharePoint site to replace a legacy Access database that dealt with consumer complaints and queries. In the Access database I'd developed a feature that allowed users to filter the complaints by a number of criteria and export them to Excel
and I'm trying to do the same in SharePoint.
If it were on-premises SharePoint I'd just create a parameterised SSRS report which would solve all my problems. However being SharePoint online, this is not an option. I'd like the users to be able to select complaints from any date range, for any category
of complaint and for any product supplier (plus a few other criteria). The idea is that they want to be able to then send the filtered data to individual suppliers. Doing this out of the box with views throws up several problems. The main one is that any export
to Excel of a view exports the entire set of data, meaning that users themselves would need to create a new view for every export they wished to perform, which is not practical.
My question is: what is the best way in SharePoint online to export a filtered subset of a list to Excel?
I can use SharePoint designer, but not C# in order to achieve the goal. We also have SharePoint Online Plan 2 if that makes it easier.
Thanks in advance,
Duncan

Problem with numeric columns when ADF table exported to Excel

Hi,
We have a ADF table on a page which can be exported to excel spreadsheet using the <Af:ExportCollectionActionListener>. The adf table is within panel collection.
There are many numeric columns in this table and there is <af:convertnumber> used on these columns. No other properties are changed on the <af:convertnumber> tag, everything is default. And no formatting is applied on the view object attributes as well. When a user from US is exporting the table to excel everything works well no issues. But a Netherlands or French user exports the excel, the numeric values which have decimal point are shown as left aligned and the whole numbers in the same column are right aligned. As a result when the user is trying to sum the entire column only the right aligned numbers are getting added.
I am not sure what is the issue here ?
HAs someone seen this scenario before ?
Am I missing anything here - any property setting ?
The numbers are shown like this in the excel exported from table.
4,077.78
3,555,34.12
1,234
19,219
3,4445,33.22
Jdev - 11.1.2.3
Thanks

Add a decimal to the whole number columns to make all columns left-aligned. Do all left-aligned columns get added?

Sql server reporting services + export to excel + embedded images

Hi all,
i got a problem when exporting to excel in ssrs 2008.
i use embedded image in the report. but when i export the report to excel, image is being exported but its width is being changed to size 0 .
but when i click on it and expand it explicitly in excel it is being expanded .
how to make the image by default to its actual width?
how to fix this problem ?

Hi sudeep Puvvadi,
Based on the information posted, I have a test with SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 (SSRS2008) and Microsoft
Excel 2010 by the following steps:
From the Toolbox window, drag the image to the top edge of the design surface.
In the image Properties dialog box, select Embedded from the Select The Image Source drop-down list.
Click import, and select a BMP file from my local computer.
Right-click the image, select Image Properties. In Size category, select Original size.
Export the report to excel.
When opening the excel file, the image displays with original size rightly. So I suggest you to add an image with
the same steps above, then checking whether the image shows correctly. If it still cannot work fine for you, could you please give me a feedback and tell me related settings, so that I can reproduce the scenario exactly and provide further assistance?
Thanks,
Lola Wang

SQL Server 2014 Reporting Services export to Excel

Hello,
We recently upgraded to SQL Server 2014 from 2008 R2.
In SSRS With the new version of SQL Server we are having an issue with the Cell Border Expression logic when exporting to Excel.
This Cell is a Grouped By Column on the Staff ID
Here is the expression for the Cell Border
BorderStyle:
=IIF(Fields!StaffParttime.Value = "Y", "Solid","None")
The report renders correctly however when exporting the report the Border is not correct in the spreadsheet.
Example: Cell 1 Parttime = "N" there is no border, Cell 2 Parttime = "Y" there is a border, Cell 3 Parttime = "N" there is a border
Cell 3 should not have a border, also the subsequent sheets all have borders when they should not. Once the border is set it does not change.
Has anyone had this same/similar problem and if so what was your resolution?
Thanks

Hi Jrod T,
Based on your description, you are experiencing an issue with the Cell Border Expression logic when exporting the report to Excel, you can’t see the expression added for the Border Style (=IIF(Fields!StaffParttime.Value = "Y", "Solid","None")
) work fine in the recently upgraded SQL Server 2014, right?
I have tested it on my local environment in both the early version and the later version and reproduced the issue in SQL Server 2014.
The issue due to in the earlier versions of Reporting Services (2005), there was limited support for translating expressions in RDL to Microsoft Excel formulas. But in the newly version, when you export a report to Excel, RDL expressions will not translated
to Excel formulas, So in the version 2014 the expression will not work.

Crystal Reports 9 Export To Excel 2007

Hi All,
We are using Crystal Reports 9 designer in VB6 to create our reports.
When report is generated and siplayed on the screen, the option to export the report to Excel only gives the option of Microsoft Excel 97 - 2000. We are looking to upgrade to Microsoft Office 2007.
Question: Is there any way to update Cyrstal to allow the ability to export the Crystal Report to Excel 2007?
Is there any dll that can be applied to present the Office 2007 export option capability?
I am doing this to determine if Crystal Reports 9 would be able to ulitize Office 2007.

Hello Don,
The problem is that Excel 2007 is not offered as an option to export to to. If we upgrade to Office 2007, we need to be able to select this. The Microsoft 97 - 2000 would not work as Excel would be 2007. We don't want to have to created as Excel 2000 and then have Excel 2007 convert it. We are looking for a way to have Crystal 9 have the ability to export to Excel 2007 directly.
Is there any upgrade to Crystal 9 that would allow Excel 2007 as an export option or would we have to upgrade to a different version of Crystal? We are trying to avoid upgrading Crystal since this would require purchasing multiple developer licenses and the report would have to be recreated using the upgraded version report designer in VB6.

Why authorization needed when accesing an export in excel from Bex

Hi Experts,
Before upgrade to version 7.0 when our user export a report to excel is
neccessary enter user and password, the issue is that not everybody
have a user therefore so they cannot see the excel.
This problem is due to the icons are in the server and in the excel
there are links to these icons of the server.(for example the icon of the hierarchy node)
If you configurate the excel to not load the icons the issue disappears
In Microsoft Excel
Select tools->Options->General->Web Options->General tab
and unmark the flag "Load pictures from Web pages"
But this solution is not always available for all users due to different excel plug-ins installed in their local computers.
Our questions are:
1.- How can we avoid these icons in the future?
2.- Why these problems occurs since the upgrade to SAP BW 7.0?
3.- Is there any option to insert the icons instead of having links?
Thanks in advance

Hi Reddy,
it has been some time ago you have posted this issue so I'm not sure if you still need a solution for this issue.
Anyway, I assume you have found the manual regarding the export to excel, csv and pdf for Visual Composer (https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/47fe4fef-0d01-0010-6f87-ed8ecb479123)
We also had issues with the export funcationality described in the document. I don't recall the exact error message.
Just some advice:
Copy the code from the document into Notepad. Then, make sure you re-arrange the code into 1 single line (remove all enters). Then, copy the code into the formula editor of the hyperlink action. Don't forget to define a store (e.g. reptname) but that is explained in the document as well.
Regards,
Sven

Error detected by Export DLL, when trying to export to excel

Hi All
We are having an issue that has occured recently where some of our user's are unable to export to excel. They were working ok.
The crystal viewer was originally designed using Framework 1.1 (vs.net 2003) and we have applied the hotfix to the user's pc called:
crnet11win_en.exe
Which fixed the issue originally, by upgrading the ExportModeller.dll to 9.1.1.528.
However in this case, even after running the patch, the user's pc is still unable to export to "excel", works ok for PDF and WORD, just not excel.
Tested the report on 2 other pc's and the report is able to export to excel.
Just not on that user's pc, is anyone able to give advice of what could be stopping the user from running the report.
The user is on Windows XP SP3, but we been informed that other user's with XP SP3 are able to export to excel with no problem.
Thanks in advance for any help or advice that you can give.
Regards
Chris
Edited by: CMThompson on Feb 22, 2010 11:52 AM

Thanks Ludek
We found the issue after doing control tests, here.
We found that our crystal viewer, developed in .NET 2003, does not work with XP SP3, even with the fix crnet11win_en.exe.
Our control test, was:
Ran report with XP SP2, exported ok
Upgraded pc to XP SP3, then ran report again, Report failed to export, with error message as described.
Had a crystal viewer set for using .NET 2005 files, but not yet ready for deployment to users, tested and was able to export to excel using .NET 2005 with XP SP3.
The issue seems to relate to exportmodeller.dll, which was the issue in the past when XP was upgraded and stopped the export function from working before.

Error in crm interactive report while export to excel file.

Hi expert,
Any one facing this issue . please advice me ur suggestion. when i am try to export .csv file it is not showing the value as it is in report.
did i miss any configuration or please suggest me how to fixed the issue.
Thanks regards
Dev

Hi
You probably had some wording in the total line such as SUM or TOTAL. When this is exported, Excel is unable to format that column as a number. Try removing all labels from the totals and see if this helps.
I hope this helps

Problem When Multiple Users Export To PDF Simultaneously

I am hoping someone out there can help. We have had no luck at all with Crystal Reports / SAP support for this issue.
We have a client/server aplication and have written a C# program to load a crystal report on the server, export it to PDF and then we send the PDF to the client. We are using Crystal Reports 2008 and have applied SP4.
The scenario is as follows:
Two users log into our application from different PC's.
User 1 prints a report with no issue.
User 2 prints a report 5 seconds later with no issue.
If User 1 prints a report and while that report is being exported to PDF, User 2 prints a report, the first will be successful and the second will fail. If User 2 reprints the report after receiving a failure, the report prints successfully the second time (using the same temp report folders as the previous attempt). We have done a lot of tracing and have narrowed the problem down to the point in out C# program when the cryRpt.Export() routine is called. It seems to be what is failing and doesn't seem to be able to run 2 exports simultaneously.
All exporting to PDF occurs on the application server and the processes run as "Administrator" so permissions should certainly not be a problem. Each user is printing a different physical .rpt file and the data for each report is in a different physical directory.
Has anyone come across this before or have any suggestions?

We thought the same thing as you suggest and have already made that change without sucess. Below is what the code looks like for our export routine. Perhaps you can spot something we have not. As mentioned before the export appears to be faulting at the statement "cryRpt.ExportToDisk(ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat, pdfname);" in the below code.
The code is as follows:
        public void exportReport(string xmldir, string crname, string pdfname, string termid, bool debug)
            try
                if (debug)
                    dt = DateTime.Now;
                    tw.WriteLine(dt.ToString() + "-Start exportReport: " + crname);
                ReportDocument cryRpt;
                cryRpt = new ReportDocument();
                cryRpt.Load(crname, OpenReportMethod.OpenReportByTempCopy);
                if (debug)
                    tw.WriteLine("Done loading report: " + crname);
                int tmpct = 0;
                int tmpint = crname.IndexOf("
", tmpct);
                while (tmpint != -1)
                    tmpct = tmpint;
                    tmpint = crname.IndexOf("
", tmpct + 1);
                string ODBCReportFileName = crname.Substring(tmpct + 1, crname.Length - tmpct - 5);
                if (debug)
                    tw.WriteLine("ODBC Report Filename: " + ODBCReportFileName);

                //Setup the connection information structure to log on to the data source for the report.
                // If using ODBC, this should be the DSN. If using OLEDB, etc, this should be the physical server name
                crConnectionInfo.ServerName = "SH" + ODBCReportFileName;
                if (debug)
                    tw.WriteLine("Resetting connection to: " + crConnectionInfo.ServerName);
                crConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = "";
                //Get the table information from the report
                crDatabase = cryRpt.Database;
                crTables = crDatabase.Tables;
                //Loop through all tables in the report and apply the
                //connection information for each table.
                if (debug)
                    tw.WriteLine("Applying new connection to all tables...");

Images not printing correctly when report is exported

I work as part of a company that uses Crystal Reports to allow our clients to be able to print reports from our software. We are currently using Crystal Reports 10.
We have a report set up with 4 images on the page that are loaded from a database. The images are set up to be a set size on the report and not to autosize. They are stored as jpg files.
The actual images are larger than their counterparts on the form. In the particular case that this issue was seen one of the images was 1600 x 1200.
The problem is that when the report is displayed in the print priview screen and printed to a printer it appears fine, however, if the report is exported, the report seems to get cropped instead of shrunk, so the report only ends up displaying the top left corner of each image rather than the whole image. I have seen this for both a PDF and and a Word Document export.
Is this a know issue? How can this be fixed?
The ability to export the reports rather than print them is an important feature of our product and is regularly used by our clients.
Any assistance that you may be able to provide on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Also do any of the Crystal Reports developers visit these forums to assist with the issue, or is it mainly a community only forum? Just wondering.

This is being seen when running the report from within our application. The report itself has been created and designed from within CR Designer v10. The actual report that the images are on is a on a subreport. The reason for this is that the main report needs to show a different number of images, either 1, 2, 4 or 6, depending on how many images are linked to the data in the database.
We are using the CR SDK designed for use with Borland Delphi 7.

When trying to export to Excel the tool hangs for 10-15 min. (1.5.1.54.40)

When trying to export a result set after a query the tool hangs for 10-15 minutes. This is regardless of the export fileformat; xls, html etc. It seems like the problem is related to the complexity of the query: Low-cost query=export OK, High-cost query=Export Not OK (even though the number of returned records is low)
Exporting to any fileformat from a tables data-tab is OK, the problem occurs only in combination with a query that has been ran in a Worksheet.
Will be greatful for any hint!
SQL Developer: 1.5.1.54.40

Hi,
If you are using SQL Dev 1.5.1, you can include the column header by using
CTRL + Shift + C (instead of CTRL + C), and paste it to Excel.
I got this info from other forum, sorry I couldn't find which one.
Don't use the Edit - Copy Path menu, even it uses the same shortcut.
