SP 2013 export to Excel

Using the OOTB 'export to excel' option, it isn't exporting all the columns. Why? I'm new to configuring SP. I've been given the task to solve this issue but don't know where to look.

It will only export the columns specified in the view. Are you missing columns that are listed in the view and if so what type are they and are there any patterns?

2013 versus 2010 - Export to Excel

Hi,
When exporting a view from Project Server 2013 Project Center to Excel, it seems to export without any formatting (no colours, etc).
It only exports rudimentary formatting such as the indenting.
This seems to be different than it used to be.
Does anyone know if this is expected behaviour? Or is there something wrong in our config? The configuration was upgraded from 2007 - 2010 - 2013.
thanks,
http://blogs.umtsa.co.za/nicoo

Hi Nico,<o:p></o:p>
I can reproduce the same behaviour in Project Server 2013 environment. The export is without any
formatting (no colors etc.). Your environment configuration looks precise.<o:p></o:p>

Why was formatting removed from Export to Excel when exporting from PWA 2013?

We have recently moved from using Project Server 2007 to Project Server 2013 and one thing that we have noticed is that when we Export to Excel all the formatting has been removed and all the task grouping and alignment has been flatted.
Why did Microsoft remove this feature from the Project Server 2013?
Is there an easy way for anywhere there is an Export to Excel option on the Ribbon to add the formatting back?
What is the best solution to still retain the indents, bolding, and grouping?

Jason --
I can confirm your findings with exporting PWA pages in Project Server 2013 to Excel. As to why Microsoft removed the feature previously found in Project Server 2007, I have no idea, as I do not work for Microsoft. I do not believe there is any
way to force the Export to Excel feature to work the same in 2013 as it did in 2007. I think it will be up to the user to format the exported Excel workbook as needed. Hope this helps.

Date and Cost formats in export toward Excel (2013)

Hi,
I'm trying to export Start date and Cost of my project tasks to Excel:
File/Save as/ Excel Workbook...
but all these date and cost data arrive in Excel with Text format. With the 2003 version, date and cost formats were well recognized.
I'm using Project 2013 English and Excel 2013 English on a French Win 7.
What are the settings (decimal separator...) which are needed to allow this feature ?
Thanks

Hi Julie,
Thanks for your help.
The "Convert to Number" feature works fine for the Cost.
But the dates arrive as text with a long format such as "03 August 2015 08:00" and the =DateValue(Cell
reference) function returns an error : #VALUE!
Any idea to retrieve the dates?
Thanks again

SharePoint 2007 Export to Excel 2010 or Excel 2013 Fails to Export All Fields in All Items View

Hi All,
When I am trying to export the SharePoint View from SharePoint site to Spreadsheet (Excel 2013), I am able not able to export the the whole data, I'm missing some numerical columns from being displayed in Excel
I have Infopath form (2007) published on SharePoint Site and I am using MOSS 2007 and Excel 2013. My form has only 20 or so fields and the rest are fields I generated in the form library to do several other calculations. I have already 73 columns
displayed which should be exported to Excel, need help

Hi,
As per your post, I understand “Excel cannot connect to the SharePoint list” is thrown out in Excel 2010 when exporting the external list in SharePoint 2013. We are able to export the external list to Excel 2013.
This issue does not occur on the standard lists.
I am able to reproduce the issue and it could be a potential issue in SharePoint 2013.
We will log this issue to our suggestion box. As after the submission, we may not have any time guarantee when the fix may be released, but it may come out on next cumulative update.
Appreciate your time and efforts.
Thanks.

2013 Excel WFservlet.xls check exports to Excel and opens blank Windows 7 Ent

HI All,
I am trying to work through an issue involving an online check through Accounts payable downloading to a blank Excel document. If the user saves the file it opens as it should but if she chooses to open it, it opens blank. If I go to View>Arrange
All> leave the Tile selected (basically do nothing but click OK) and click OK it opens. I have done an Office repair with no luck and also a complete uninstall then used the office removal tool then reinstalled with reboots in-between and still no change.
This computer is on a domain and I can get the check to export to excel without any issues on another computer so I know it's not her roaming profile. I can get it to work on my machine and others as me, admin and her but on her machine no luck. I have opened
IE settings on her machine and a working machine and matched the settings exactly as well as Excel settings. I have started Excel in safe mode and exported but no luck. I have disabled all add ins in excel and added the site to compatibility settings and trusted
sites in IE. I reset the browser and deleted history with all options selected.
In the beginning I was receiving the error "The file format and extension of ".xls" don't match. The file could be corrupted or unsafe. Unless you trust its source, don't open it. Do you want to open it anyway?" I checked the following
In Windows Explorer Tools > Folder Options > View tab > made sure "Hide extensions for known file types" was unchecked.
I also did
Open your Registry (Start -> Run -> regedit.exe)
Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\OFFICE\12.0\EXCEL\SECURITY
Right click in the right window and choose New -> DWORD
Type “ExtensionHardening” as the name (without the quotes)
Verify that the data has the value “0″
No luck.
If I log into the computer as local admin or my domain account it still opens blank.

The file will open in Chrome but I am wondering if that's because Chrome downloads the file as if I choose to save the file opens fine. I am going to run the OffCAT will post my findings.

I am not seeing export to Excel option in SharePoint 2013 survey (even in the overview view mode)

Hi
If anyone could point me in the right direction as to what steps to take to enable the export to excel option in a sharePoint survey list.
all other surveys are showing up that export to excel option.
I am not seeing the view dropdown as well which shows up on right (the only way to create new view is through the URL as of now)
Constraints
Survey already has several responses now so making a new survey is not an option
(I know that when is any custom view is changed to default view and if Overview is made as the default view again this option goes away, but how to get this export to excel option back?)
Steps taken till now
Checked in SP designer as to which field is set to default and it shows overview as the default.
Checked whether any web part was closed and it seems there was none else closed web part category would've shown up
Saved the existing survey as template both with the content included and without the content (without the content template has the export to excel option showing up)
Many thanks ,
Ab

Aby,
Do following, it will work
Create a simple list and hit export to excel to create owssvr.iqy file
Open that file in notepad
Collect Survey list' GUID and View GUID from SPD. You need to change the pointer to test list to survey
Change list GUID and view Guid
File will contain these code

Export to Excel and Save as Static File

Hello all,
When I export to excel from SharePoint 2013, and save the file, the data remains dynamic in that if I update the list in SharePoint it will update the data in Excel. This is great and I use it in a few places, but I also need to capture a point in time and
save the exported Excel file as static data (i.e. Export to Excel, and Save as the Q3 Report). How can I save the file as static/remove the dynamic link so I just have the data at the time of export?
Thanks!

Hi Kelly,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to export to excel as a static file.
In SharePoint, when you export list to excel, it works as a one-way sync. It can sync data from SharePoint to Excel. If you don’t want to sync the data from SharePoint, you can copy the data from the exported excel file to a new excel, then save the new
excel file.

How can I schedule an export to excel format of an OBIEE Analysis or Dashboard to a local directory ?

Hello,
I would like to schedule with an agent some reports in OBIEE 11g that must be exported in excel format to a specific local directory.
There is a need for a group of OBIEE users to have a set of reports ready (exported in .xlsx) every morning.
Furthermore, if the previous scenario is possible then could I deliver a whole OBIEE Dashboard with the same way?
Any input will be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
As of now , we are not able to save the report in shared location in Linux /Unix.
Windows it is possible.

SSRS 2012 - Groups in Report Manager aren't present when exported to Excel

Hi all, hope somebody can help with this issue, as I cant seem to find any other posts about it
I have a report in SSRS2012. It was copied from SSRS2005 quite recently, as we have upgraded. The SQL developer said that it didn't need any code changes, as he had some kind of tool to test code problems between the two versions.
The report has a table, with 5 row groups, and one detail row. The table is setup as follows:
Name                                         Sales
Costs       Profit
Group1
   Group2
      Group3
         Group4
            Group5
               DetailsRow
When I run this report using the Report Manager website from SSRS2005, and then export to Excel 2013, I get the 6 row groups in Excel, no problem whatsoever. I can drill into each group in Excel, using the group drilldown column on the left hand side. This
works the same as the Report Manager website.
If I run the exact same report from the Report Manager website in SSRS2012, the Report Manager result is the same as SSRS2005 - all the row groups are present, and the drilldown works fine. However, the export to Excel has issues with the groups. There are
only 3 row groups showing in Excel, along with a column group added for no apparent reason. Drilling into each group shows inconsistent details, and there is no apparent logic as to what is shown within each group.
Hopefully, someone has seen this issue before, and can help, because I have no idea what to do, having spent a couple of days trying to figure it out. I should also mention, that this issue with groups is seen on all my reports which have groups, not just
this report
Thanks for any and all help
Naz

Hi Naz,
According to your description, the report works correctly in SSRS 2005 while the same report doesn’t work in SSRS 2012 when exporting to a Excel file.
In your scenario, please make sure you are migrating the report from SSRS 2005 to SSRS 2012 instead of copying the .rdl directly. Generally, we are using Reporting Services Migration Tool to migrate reports between report server. Please refer to this article:
SQL Server Reporting Services: Migrating SSRS reports, data sources and subscriptions from one server to another.
After migrating the report successfully, you should upgrade the report definition in SQL Server Data Tools to upgrade the .rdl file. Please refer to this article:
Upgrade Reports.
If you have upgraded the report but the issue still persists, please provide report design for our analysis. If possible, please provide some screenshots about the preview result and Excel render result.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best regards,

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:

Access Report exporting to Excel Horizontally

I've got a rather large report in Access, based on a couple of forms.
When i preview it looks fine, Textboxes are all in order with the make and model then the data in text boxes in a column below.
There are 7 columns of text boxes like this.
When I export to a PDF, it's in the right format, 7 columns next to each other.
When I export to Word and even a text file it works fine.
When I export to Excel, they all go horizontal...textbox name in row 1 and all the data in row 2, clear to column IV and that's it.
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you for any help.
Gee

Hi Gee,
According to the desription, when the report exported to Excel, the layout is incorrect.
Based on my test, the Access doesn't export the textbox into Excel, it just export the data in the report. Here are the test steps for your reference:
1. Create a table with some fields in Access 2013
2. Create a reprot based on the table by default
3. Export the report to Excel by External data->Export->Excel
Did I misunderstood? Also a demo database to help us reproduce this issue is much appreciate.

Export to Excel will not produce more than 2000 rows

I am trying to export a sharepoint list to excel that has around 8000 items in it, however when it does...i'm only able to see 2000 entries and the other 6000 are missing.
I'm working with SharePoint 2013 Enterprise and Excel 2013.
Would anyone have some help to offer me on why this is no producting all of the entries in the list?

Hi Jacob,
According to your description, my understanding is that only 2000 items can be exported to excel in SharePoint list.
I recommend to check if there are any indexed columns(which are enforced to have unique values) in the list.
If yes, please remove the indexes from the columns in the list to see if the issue still occurs.
For test, please export another large list to see if the issue still occurs.
Thanks,
Victoria

OBIEE 11.1.1.6.7 export to excel - cells not suppressing

When exporting a table to Excel, cells are repeating in the excel report, despite the fact that these columns are set to "Suppress" in Column Format.
The values are suppressed in the table on the dashboard, the values are suppressed when we export to PDF, but when we export to Excel suppression is not working.
We have another report where suppression is working fine when exporting to excel so it does not seem to be due to which excel version we are using.
The suppression in excel worked fine in 10g for this report, and when we migrated to 11g, that is when it stopped working.
When comparing the two different reports, we can't find any difference in properties that could affect the suppression.
Any ideas on what we can do to fix this?
Best Regards
Joel
