RDL Formula Persist in Exported Excel

Hi All,
I have a requirement as mentioned below.
In my SSRS report, I have numeric data in multiple columns and a separate column as "Total" for summation of those multiple columns.
Requirement : Once we export this report in Excel through SSRS, the "Total" column in excel should have summation formula in place by default. For this I guess the formula which we are setting in Total field in RDL file should persist in excel.
I am using the "SQL Server Data Tool For Visual Studio 2012"
Request you to please suggest a solution.
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
I am able to successfully get formulas dropped into fields on an excel format from Reporting Services. The problem is that whenever, I try using the plus '+' sign in the formula, excel interprets it as a '&' which concatenates the numbers. Is there any way to force it to interpret the '+' as addition and not as concatenation.
thanks

Again: Using Crystal Report to export excel sheet.

Morning every one, first Iu2019d like to apologize for my last question see Using Crystal Report to export excel sheet. Itu2019s pretty hard to understand and wastes your precious time. Now here is a new one hopefully it will do myself a lot of help:)
First, we have a table called HOURLY_PORTUTIL in the Database:
Column Name...........Data Type
STARTTIME ................DATE
CIRCLE.......................VARCHAR2
SERVICENAME...........VARCHAR2
PORTUTIL....................NUMBER
The data in this table looks like:
9/25/2008 00:00:00 AM...AP...(456)...0.01
9/25/2008 01:00:00 AM...AP...(456)...0.04
9/25/2008 02:00:00 AM...AP...(456)...5.04
9/25/2008 12:00:00 PM...AP...(456)...0.02
9/25/2008 00:00:00 AM...AP...AL-MOD...0.01
9/25/2008 01:00:00 AM...AP...AL-MOD...0.04
9/25/2008 02:00:00 AM...AP...AL-MOD...0.04
9/25/2008 12:00:00 PM...AP...AL-MOD...0.02
9/26/2008 00:00:00 AM...AP...(456)...1.01
9/26/2008 01:00:00 AM...AP...(456)...0.34
9/26/2008 02:00:00 AM...AP...(456)...5.24
9/26/2008 12:00:00 PM...AP...(456)...7.72
9/26/2008 00:00:00 AM...AP...AL-MOD...12.0
9/26/2008 01:00:00 AM...AP...AL-MOD...0.23
9/26/2008 02:00:00 AM...AP...AL-MOD...0.44
9/26/2008 12:00:00 PM...AP...AL-MOD...8.11
9/25/2008 00:00:00 AM...Delhi...(456)...1.01
9/25/2008 01:00:00 AM...Delhi...(456)...2.04
9/25/2008 02:00:00 AM...Delhi...(456)...6.04
9/25/2008 12:00:00 PM...Delhi...(456)...7.02
Then we have a Cross-Table:
Columns:
.............HOURLY_PORTUTIL.SERVICENAME
Rows:
............HOURLY_PORTUTIL.CIRCLE
............HOURLY_PORTUTIL.STARTTIME
............@hourly
Summarized Fields:
..............................Sum HOURLY_PORTUTIL.PORTUTIL
The Formula @hourly converts, say, '9/25/2008 01:00:00 AM' to '01:00-02:00'.
The above all is the information of our Cross-Table configuration, but the outcome is not what we want. I find that this forum doesn't want the user to post image, so I post the actually outcome and the outcome we want in my Picasa.
Actually outcome:
[http://picasaweb.google.com/enel.guo/ForWork#5288743968250408770]
What we want:
[http://picasaweb.google.com/enel.guo/ForWork#5288743974292750610]
I know that the outcome looks good enough, but our customers don't think so. They want export the report to Excel sheet and have every row with exact CIRCLE and STARTTIME.
Thanks again guys:)

Hi Ashwini Yadav,
Thanks for your reply:)
I'm afraid that your answer is not perfectly right. Again I'm sorry for my vague description. The suggestion you gave us is already adopted. The total and grand total part disappeared but we still can't get what we want.
Please have a look at the new image link below, Hopefully it will give you a clear picture of what's going on:)
Cross-table:

Export excel option is not working in test environment in Firefox.

In our application 'export excel' option is present in 4 different pages. All the excels working in development environment in both IE and FF. In testing env, all the excels working fine in
IE. But only two excels are working in FF in testing env. Remaining not working and 'The connection was reset The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading' error page appears when we click on 'export excel' button. Can any one help on this issue...

Hello,
You can do one of the following:
Select the table in Firefox and then copy it to the clipboard. In Excel do Paste Special and select either 'Unicode text' or 'text' to copy it into Excel.
Use the Table2Clipboard extension. This will provide the Right-Click menu option, it will copy the data into the clipboard and you can then paste the selection into Excel.
I hope that helps.

Bug : Invalid file extension error when opening exported excel

Hi All,
In one of my jsff page, i have implemented 'exportToExcel' functionality through a exportcollectionactionlistener on a table to export its data to excel. When i try opening the generated excel, i get the following warning in excel 2007 :
"The file you are trying to open, 'Export.xls,' is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?" - When I clicked YES to the message, the exported excel opened and data is present.
How can i get rid of this warning message, because it is annoying for any user to click YES every time the excel is opened ? I am using jdev version 11.1.1.6.0 This is my code :
<af:commandToolbarButton text="Export to Excel" id="cb1">
<af:exportCollectionActionListener exportedId="t1"
                           type="excelHTML"
                           filename="Export.xls"
                           title="Excel export"/>
</af:commandToolbarButton>I found a similar forum post here File format of exportCollectionActionListener ADF 11g But they are suggesting a registry fix which is not possible in production environment.
Any possible workaround or suggestions to resolve this issue is much appreciated.
Thanks

You can save the data on the client and the check the data.

Using a formula that works in Excel

Is there a way to create this type of formula that works in Excel but not in Numbers 09
=SUMPRODUCT(--(Utilization!A10:A190="Jan"),--(Utilization!C10:C190="Personal"),- -(Utilization!D10:D190))
This is referring to second page "Utilization" but doesn't have to in new numbers spreadsheet.
Have 3 columns. 1st with month, 2nd describing type of work, 3rd with hours.
New cell will have product of 1st two items.
Can pm example if this sounds confusing. Thanks.

You're right, it sounds confusing. It sounds like you want to create products of Months X Description of work X Hours and then sum them up.
It's as amazing to me that it would work in Excel as that you think it would work in Pages or Numbers.

Size of Exported Excel file is very large

Hi,
I have a report that has around 10000 rows and 5 columns. When I export to excel, the excel file is very big, around 15MB.
But If the file is opened, and saved again , the size reduces to around 13MB.
Any suggestions on how to reduce the file size of the exported Excel file. I would prefer to export it to excel rather than CSV format.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks....
ViVa1

Hi, actually as you have probably noticed the size grows a lot due to the use of different styles and formatting.
If you do not require any formatting then I would recommend you to consider a CSV file format again because it will result in the smallest file size which you can achieve with exporting.
Also for the future referencing SQL Server 2008 R2 exports reports only in XLS format, but SQL Server 2012 by default will export into a new XLSX file format which is a compressed (zipped XML based format) so the resulting files will be significantly smaller.
For example I created a small project to test exporting of 10000 x 5 data to an Excel file. I used this
.NET Excel component to create various spreadsheet files, it has a straightforward API for
exporting DataTable into an Excel file in .NET so you can test this out yourself with ease. The output files, without any formatting applied to them, have the following sizes: XLS (~1MB), XLSX (~300KB) and CSV (~250KB).

Formatting / Post Processing of Exported Excel Sheet

Hi ,
Issue:
The Columns in the Excel Sheet are not fully visible when we export Report from CR viewer to Excel Sheet. So we had planned for Post processing of the Excel Sheet using VBA or .NET etc to format the Excel Sheet, which would be on the server side, meaning the End user will never see the formatting process, but only the End Report. Is it possible to achieve this ??
NOTE:
1) VBA or .NET could not be run on the Linux Server but we could take advantage of the windows server in the presentation layer.
Architecture:
Presentation Layer
Linux Server <--> Windows .Net Server <--
> End User
{Crystal RAS Server} <-->{GUI CR Viewer Application}<--
>
Our Proposed Solution:
1) Create an GUI Application that has CR viewer in it .
2) Create a Separate Excel Export button on the webpage.
3) when the user wants to export the report , he clicks the button.
4) The GUI/ application saves the Exported Excel Sheet from the Ras server to the windows server.
5) Then the .Net or the Vba code is applied to process/Format the Excel Sheet.
6) When complete the End user is prompted for saving the report to a local disk.
My questions:
1) Can this be achieved ?
2) what would be the best way to handle this ?
3) what should be the process flow ?
4) what are the things to be considered while planning for such a design ?
Regards,
Ramkumar Govindasamy

So you're looking at using RAS .NET SDK on the Application Layer to export a Crystal Report to Excel, save to temp file on the Application Layer machine, process that temp file, and stream that back out to the client web browser.
Considerations:
1. You need to create your own custom UI button to trigger the process, since the .NET Web Forms Crystal Reports viewer won't have the hooks to customize the Excel export.
2. Running Excel VBA from your Web App may be problematic - you'd have to be particularly careful if the system is under load, since the Excel VBA - COM-Interop isn't necessarily designed for high throughput. Under high load, you may get file locking or COM-Interop layer just refuse to process. It's pretty common to try and catch exceptions and retry if you encounter this.
You'd likely not find anyone here familiar with 2 above, but 1 is fairly common.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

WEBI report present different in exported excel file

Hello expert,
I create a line chart in webi, and I create a table block to cover the x axies label for the line chart. this presentation looks perfect in WEBI report, but when I export it into excel file, the x axies labels for the line chart showed up with that table block moved down a little bit. how can I present WEBI in the same way in the exported excel file?

Hi,
If your requirement is to hide labels or X Axis values from the chart ..You can do this directly unchecked the check box for values or labels from the X Axis properties.
For to adjust the table block and line chart right click on the Cell go to Align ->Relative Position and in the bottom section adjust the height from the particular block.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks,
Amit
