I m trying to export the data from web dynpro table to excel sheet but when the numeric column is transported then that column gets repeated with alias '#agg'.
Please advice me wid some solution.

Hi,
in your code you use "exportCollectionButton" on the commandImageLink and "exportLink" in the code, so this sample doesn't make sense. Assuming its a typo in the code and in fact the notToShow() method calls
ActionEvent ae = new ActionEvent(exportCollectionButton);
ae.queue();
then the cricular reference is not a surpise because you queue an action on the command link itself, which then again queues the same action etc.

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.

Paticular columns in "Export to Excel" functionality of PanelCollection

Hi,
I am using JDeveloper 11.1.1.5.0.
I am rendering (render Property to false) some of the columns in the table before it is doing “export to excel” of PanelCollection functionality.
The table should display that columns in the front end but while exporting it to excel it should hide that columns.
I have done below coding for the same:
In jsff file:-
<af:panelCollection id="pc2" inlineStyle="background-color: #F9E1E0;" styleClass="AFStretchWidth">
<f:facet name="toolbar">
<af:toolbar id="t1">
<af:commandImageLink text="Export to Excel" inlineStyle="width:95px;" id="cil4" actionListener="#{pageFlowScope.TimesheetService.notToShow
binding="#{xxyyzzBean.exportCollectionButton}">
<af:exportCollectionActionListener exportedId="t2"
type="excelHTML"
filename="empDtlsExport.xls"/>
</af:commandImageLink>
</af:toolbar>
</f:facet>
The t2 is the table in which 5 columns are present and which is having Binding with dataTable.
The code in the Bean class:
public String notToShow(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
List<UIComponent> uicomps= dataTable.getChildren();
for(int i=0;i<uicomps.size();i++)
UIComponent myComp= uicomps.get(i);
if(myComp.getId().equals("c1")) //the column which should be part of export to excel.
myComp.setRendered(false);
if(myComp.getId().equals("c6"))//the column which should be part of export to excel.
myComp.setRendered(false);
ActionEvent ae = new ActionEvent(exportLink);
ae.queue();
return null;
But it goes in infinite loop.
Could anybody help me out for the same?

How to hide a column while exporting to excel?

Hello,
My client requires a crystal report(CR 2011) with Columns A,B,C,D, and E. After exporting this report to Excel, the excel file should contain only columns A,C,and E. I need to hide/suppress columns B and D ONLY during exporting to excel/printing. Is is possible? If yes, how?
Thanks,
P

Hi Prasanna,
Here's what you can do:
1) Create a prompt with Yes/No values (Yes means show all columns, No means show limited columns)
2) Create multiple sections. E.g:
Page header a would have column headers for all columns
Details a would have all fields
Page header b would have columns A, C and E
Details b would have fields A, C and E
Use a conditional suppression logic for each of those sections:
Logic for Page Header a would look like this:
{?Prompt} = 'No'
Logic for Page Header b would be:
{?Prompt} = 'Yes'

Lost collapsing columns when export to excel

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.

Cannot Maintain Columns when exporting to Excel

I am trying to export a device report from PDF to Excel however the columns all show up but the information is not placed accurately as to each column.

You either need the Acrobat Forum or the ExportPDF Forum, where people who use the correct software can help. You CANNOT export using Reader alone.

1) "Successful Records"
2) "Customer Validation Errors"
3) "CS Validation Errors"
4) "No Activity Type Assigned"
Also I have enabled CSV output under "Report Export"
Now the issue is when I downloaded this entire report into spreadsheet, only the non-url columns are being exported.
I have even made sure that "Include In Export" under Column Attributes is set to YES.
I tried to reproduce this issue using Dept & Emp tables but it seems to be working there.
I don't know if it is the query which is causing this issue or a genuine Apex bug.
Hope someone might have faced some thing like this earlier.
Appreciate your thoughts on this.
Thanks,
Raj.

Export to Excel Action in MS SSRS Report not exporting all data in Report

Hi,
I have developed a complex Report that has many expandable nodes in a table format. The report works fine.
However, when I export the Report to Excel using Actions --> export to Excel, only the data in expanded nodes is included. The data in collapsed nodes is not included.
I am looking for approach to include data in expanded nodes in Excel Export. The expanded data can be expanded in Excel.
Any help in this regard will be appreciated.

Hi Abhijit PS,
Per my understanding you are experiencing the issue with the excel report which have add the drill down action, after export to excel only the expanded nodes included and the collapsed nodes is not shown, right?
Generally, if we expand the nodes before export to excel then the excel will display the expanded details row and keep collapsed the details row which haven't expand, but we have the toggle "+","-" on the left of the Excel to help
control the expand and collapse, when you click the "+" you can expand the collapsed notes to see the details rows.
I have tested on my local environment with different version of SSRS and can always see the "+","-" as below:
On the Top left corner you can find the "1","2", this help to control the "Collapse All" and "Expand All".
If you can't see the "+","-" in the excel, the issue can be caused by the Excel version you are currently using, and also excel have limit support of this, please provide us the Excel version information and the SSRS version. You
can reference to this similar thread:
lost collapsing columns when export to excel
Please try to export other drill down report to excel and check if they work fine, if they did, the issue can be caused by the drill down action you have added in this report is not correctly, if possible, please try to redesign the report.

Formatting an Export to Excel

Can anyone tell me how to force a column being exported to Excel to be interpreted by Excel as a text field? The column contains only digits, but has values such as '0000' where all four zeroes are to be considered significant.

Thanks for your replies. Unfortunately, enclosing values in quotes won't work. To give you a simple example, imagine the source for an interactive report is:
select '0180' account_code, 145.23 amount from dual;
When the user views the interactive report, they should see 0180 for the account code and 145.23 for the amount...and they do. So far so good.
Now, they click the tool widget and select to download the report to Excel. Here's where the wheels come off. I need the account code to be interpreted by Excel as text and amount to be interpreted as numeric. Anything I apply at the download-level, like enclosing the columns with single quotes will apply to both account_code and amount. I need a granular way to specify formatting on a field-by-field basis, only to be used when downloading the data.

Repeated column headers in Crosstab report when exported to Excel

I have created a Cross tab report and wanted to export it in the format "Microsoft Excel(97-2003) (*.xls)", as the formatting of the report is lost in Excel Data Only format. But when I export the data the column headers are repeated in the Excel. Is there any solution to avoid repeated column headers without losing the formatting of layout?

I suppose one answer we should have before anything else;
Does the export work from the CR designer?

Matrix exporting to excel with empty columns, with page break option of "Between each instance of a group" selected.

I am working with Report Builder 3.0 I am using a matrix to produce grouped data on separate worksheets in excel.
The select is:
SELECT ID, Measurement, Value, [Date] FROM Measurements_Report. (please ignore the underscores they are just for formatting)
The contents of the Measurements_Report table:
ID__Measurement__Value__[Date]
1___Hot_________33_____10/1/2014
2___Hot_________44_____10/2/2014
3___Cold_________55_____10/2/2014
The matrix contains a single row group based on the field "measurement". The Measurement group has the page break option of "Between each instance of a group" selected.
There is a column group based on the field "Date".
When this is matrix is exported to excel on the first worksheet (Hot) there are three columns as shown below:
ID__10/1/2014____10/2/2014___10/2/1014
1___33
2_______________44
Notice the last column doesn't have a value.
On the second worksheet (Cold) there are also three columns as shown below:
ID__10/1/2014___10/2/2014___10/2/1014
3__________________________55
This time notice there is only one row and only a value in the last column.
I only want the columns with data for that worksheet to show up. How can I remove these empty/duplicate columns? Hopefully there is a simple fix. Thanks ahead of time.

With the following contents of the Measurements_Report table:
ID__Measurement__Value__[Date]
1___Hot_________33______10/1/2014
2___Hot_________43______10/1/2014
2___Hot_________44______10/2/2014
3___Cold________55______10/2/2014
Returns on the first tab (Hot):
ID__10/1/2014____10/1/2014____10/2/2014
1___33
2_________________43
2______________________________44
In the excel worksheet it contains a separate column for each date with a value. Thanks again!
Why is the same date repeating on multiple columns? Do you've the time part also returned from database?

Exporting to Excel - How to control Column Heading?

I'm working in SSRS 2012. I have one tablix in the report body. The tablix has both Row and Column Groups.
When rendering in the web browser the report page breaks on a row group. The Repeat Column Headers property is set to "True" so it shows the column headings from page to page.
When rendering in Excel, I want one worksheet and not separate worksheets so the page break is disabled via the Page Break->Disabled property expression "=IIf(Globals!RenderFormat.Name="EXCELOPENXML", True, False)".
This is all good but the Column Headings only show up once at the very top in the excel worksheet.
Is it possible to make the Column Headings repeat with each tablix data region as it is rendered vertically down the worksheet?
OR is there a way from SSRS to set the Excel property "Rows to Repeat at top" to include Column Heading; by default the SSRS Report's header is repeated in Excel, but can the number of rows be changed to include the Column Heading?
OR is there some other work around?
Thanks for your help.
Mark

Thanks for the reply Wendy.
You addressed my second question ... "is there a way from SSRS to set the Excel property "Rows to Repeat at top" to include Column Heading; by default the SSRS Report's header is repeated in Excel, but can it be changed to include the Column Heading?
Based on your response, the only way to freeze the column header in excel is to freeze or split panes AFTER export to excel. well booo but I have to accept that I guess.
My first question is what I really want to do, which is to physically repeat the Column Heading in the excel rendering. I included two pictures demonstrate what I want ...
1) the standard SSRS report rendered in Excel ... Column Headings are shown once:
