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

  • Show Repeated key values in Reports and Export Into Excel

    Hi Experts,
    Currently I am working on the BW3.5 version. Our client requirement to display the repeated key value in web and export same into excel. I have followed the steps in web template which mentioned below to achieve the requirement.
    1) In my web template, add the following line to the Template Properties object tag (the tag at the very top of the web template in HTML mode):<param name="SUPPRESS_REPETITION_TEXTS" value=""/>
    After the change web template change, Myself execute the report in web, Its fine web. But I export into excel, again the key values are suppressed. So I have followed the steps in query. Then its fine. I mean, I can export into excel with repeated key values.
    2) In my query, in Properties and on the Display tab, unchecked "Hide Repeated Key Values".
    But do we have any other option without changing query properties to achieve the requirement.. I am fine with the web template change("SUPPRESS_REPETITION_TEXTS"). But I do not want to change the query properties.
    Please help me to fix the issue. Thanks in advance.

    Hi Experts,
    I have come across one of the suggestion in the below location. Could you plz help me to implement it.
    http://www.sapfans.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=118185
    Suggestion:
    You can do exactly what you want, but it will take either a button changing the properties of the web item or a javascript function added to the context menu getting the properties of the table item and changing it to "X" or "". These are just two examples, there are other ways to do this. This is the actual code that sets the suppression for the repeated texts. Hope this helps.

  • Automate Query and Export in HTML to Sharepoint

    Hello,
    Currently I'm using Disco Plus and I'm finding out that I don't have the ability to automate a report and export the result. In this case, I'm wanting to export in HTML format to a Sharepoint drive.
    I found a recent post saying that there you can script it with Disco Desktop but I don't have that installed and I'm not certain where I can get it... is it possible to download and install yourself or would my IT group need to install it (i have admin privileges to my machine). Is there a licensing fee separate for Desktop? Here are my Disco and system particulars if that helps:
    OracleBI Discoverer 10g (10.1.2.2)
    Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer Plus 10g (10.1.2.54.25)
    Discoverer Model - 10.1.2.54.25
    Discoverer Server - 10.1.2.54.25
    End User Layer - 5.1.1.0.0.0
    End User Layer Library - 10.1.2.54.25
    PivotMan

    Hi PivotMan
    It is possible to download and install Discoverer Desktop yourself as the install is very, very easy. There is, as you suspect, a license issue though in that Discoverer Desktop is not licensed along with your Plus and Viewer licenses and is priced, I believe, at $1,200 per seat.
    If your company has a Discoverer Adminstrator using the Administrator tool then you may not be aware that the license for Admin also includes a license for Desktop and it is probably already installed.
    Independently, you can download the Desktop software, as part of the Tools CD, from OTN at this address: http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ids/htdocs/101202winsoft.html
    The download you want is the second one, the Oracle Business Intelligence Tools 1og (10.1.2.0.2) for Microsoft Windows.
    Be wary though because your company has probably upgraded Discoverer to either 10.1.2.2 or 10.1.2.3. You will need to do the same thing for Desktop by downloading the relevant patch from MetaLink. Also, please read the licensing agreement on OTN before downloading and using any Oracle software as you will be required to confirm that you have read and understood Oracle's terms and conditions.
    I hope this helps
    Best wishes

  • Adobe Air and export to Excel from jasperserver

    Hello,
    I had issues to display PDF's from Adobe Air when using
    jasperserver. As soon as I intalled Reader 9.0 it worked fine..Now
    I am having an issue with excel and csv and rtf files... When I
    click from my air application's and generate a report and export it
    to Xls or rtf or csv, opens a new Adobe air instance with a white
    blank screen.. Can you please please help me in this..
    Thanks in advance

    I am using Adobe Air which displays jasper server reports and
    the report generated gives an option to the user to open that
    report in different format like excel, rtf, csv formats.. and
    jasperserver has it's function to convert it approptaitely in
    different formats. It's just in Adobe air it doesn't work.. I
    tested my application with google chrome which has a webkit just
    like adobe air . So When I want to open the report in excel then it
    gives me an option either to open it or save it. But in Adobe Air
    it comes as a blank page.. not sure what's happening also as I
    dont' get any exception.. so not sure whether Adobe Air recognizes
    the other formats besides pdf... as for PDF I had to have adobe
    reader 9 installed and then it opens up.. If still I am not able to
    explain the scenario please call me at 314-799-3138 (USA). I am
    just stuck in this project.. And we have to use Adobe air as our
    application has to be desktop oriented.

  • 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 

  • How do I get a list of albums by artist and export to Excel etc?

    How do I get a list of albums ONLY by artist and export to Excel etc? I do not want the songs as generally know the songs on the album.

    You can get it directly out of iTunes by the command Print > Album Listing > List of Albums.
    Also, if you are good at Excel, you can paste your iTunes library listing into Excel and use the Excel filtering and sorting capabilities to get whatever view you want.

    Hi Jerome,
    I have gon ethrough your code again and there we are missing the destination plugin.
    We have to query the info store to get the disk unmanaged plugin.
    Below is the code

            IDiskUnmanagedOptions diskUnmanagedOptions = null; //Object returned by the getSchedulingOptions() method
            List listDestination = null; //List object to hold destination file location
            IDestination destination = null; //Destination Interface
            //retrieve the Scheduling Options and cast it as IDiskUnmanagedOptions
            //This interface is the one which allows us to add the file location
            //for the scheduling
              for(int i = 0; i< oInfoObjects.getResultSize();i++)
               oInfoObject = (IInfoObject) oInfoObjects.get(i);

  • Authoring and Publishing site collection in SharePoint Online

    Hi ,

    Yes you can use SharePoint 2013 cross-site publishing feature in SharePoint Online to support 1:1 and 1:n set up of authoring : publishing site-collections in SharePoint Online. The catch is that it all needs to be within same tenant.

  • Can I simultaneously save a form as a PDF and export to Excel?

    Can I simultaneously save a form as a PDF and export to Excel?

    Regardless of your goal yes, it would be separate steps - but let me see if I understand what you want so I can explain better...
    I am assuming you want to export the response data to Excel, this is an action from the "File" = "Export Responses" menu item and can export all of the response data to Excel at one time (also has the option of PDF or CSV).  That would be done as one step, exporting to Excel.  If you also wanted a PDF version of the table with all responses you could repeat that and select "PDF" the second time.
    If you want PDF's of each individual response (you can "Download Response as PDF" which is a PDF that looks like the original form filled out) then that is also a separate step and has to be done individually for each response you want to download as PDF.
    Thanks,
    Josh

  • Running report with alv grid in background and exporting to excel

    Hi Guys,
                  I've created a report program that uses the alv grid. When I run the report in foreground, I can easily export it to excel. However, if I run it in background, then display the spooled report and try to export to excel, it does not put it in excel format (seems to go over as one big column rather than individual columns that are defined in the report). Is there a way to run it in background ,export to excel properly and i have to email also in Excel sheet format.?
    Thanks,
    Gopi.

    In background u cannot do a download to excel. you can do is create CSV format file
    or
    write a report for output with tabs then call that report using
      submit yXXXX exporting list to memory
               and return.
      call function 'LIST_FROM_MEMORY'
        tables
          listobject = report_list
        exceptions
          not_found  = 1
          others     = 2.

  • Filters and Export to Excel (BI 7 report in portal)

    Hi all
    We are seeing some interesting behaviour with the data being exported to excel. 
    The steps to create the problem are -
    - run report
    - filter to limit the data,
    - "export to excel"
    When checking data in excel - the full set of data (that is, prior to the filter being applied) has been transfered.
    Could someone please confirm the following -
    1. is this expected behaviour ?
    2. are there any configuration items that need to be done to export only the filtered data as seen on the current report on the screen ?
    3. any other suggestions ?!
    I look forward to hearing from you.
    Kindest regards
    Karen

    with your product version there are little options you have.
    1. Upgrade to the latest SP and patch on XIR2 (SP6, fp6.4) and re-test
    2. Upgrade to current product release.
    3. figure out what has changed and how in the report and reverse those changes.

  • 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?

  • Error when exporting to Excel for SharePoint 2010 List

    We have few users who are getting the following error message when they try to export to Excel from the SharePoint list:
    "An operation that uses the database driver could not be completed. If the driver is a Microsoft driver, make sure the driver file isn’t damaged, and if it is, reinstall the driver by reinstalling Microsoft Query. For other drivers, contact
    your database administrator or driver vendor.‘
    The export option works for me on my machine and also tested it out on other users' machines without issues. The list is currently holds 29763 items.
    1. Created a view that filter the list to show few items, and the user was able to export without issues.
    2. Followed the steps in the following Blog:
    http://www.sharepointserverrecovery.com/blog/troubleshooting-problems-when-exporting-sharepoint-list-data-to-excel-spreadsheet-and-fixing-database-corruption/ and the user was able to export the original list.
    3. My colleagues and I don't have any issues exporting to Excel. (Note: even my test account, that does not have any special permissions or members of any SharePoint group(s)).
    4. Some Blog/Forums suggest to increase Threshold limit in Central Admin, which we don't want to do, since the issue only affect certain users.
    Any idea on how to troubleshoot/resolve the issue?
    Thanks,
    Yassar

    Do they have to export all the information or is a subset of it ok? 
    Creating an index on the columns that your users interact with the most and then creating views that limit the returned results will be useful.  This will then allow an export.

  • 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
