SPListItemCollection Export To Excel timer job

I have a timer job that queries specific SPListItemCollection and transform it to DataTable.
I want to export this DataTable to an excel file that will be saved to a specific location (ftp)
how will I do the exporting to excel programmatically? can you share some code snippets that will work for this?
I have tried some codes but it asks me if I want to Save SaveAs or Cancel. What I want is it will immediately download this to a specific location (ftp)

Hi,
According to your description, after running the code, there is no Excel file generated.
I would suggest you create a Console Application to test the code demo to see if it can work, then apply to your custom timer job.
Here is a demo about creating Excel file from DataTable for your reference:

Feel free to reply if there any progress.

During export from Discover to Excel, Time Format changes to Number Format

Hi
I have a seconds column which is of number datatype. But in my report, I am converting the number in *0HH:MI:SS* format. For example, I have *4952534 seconds*. So my report is showing *1375:42:14* which is a Time Format. It looks good when I view the data in Discoverer Viewer or Plus. But when I try to export the data to Excel, the time format gets converted to *4952534 seconds*, which is creating problems. So can you suggest on how can I preserve the formatting during export to excel from discoverer.
Thanks
Sachin

Hi,
Excel will not implement the 0HH:MI:SS data format, it just gets the field as a number. You will have to format the field into text using the calculation from my previous post.

Problem Export to Excel it takes long time and Takes more space.

Hello All,
when we export to Excel in portal(reports), it takes long time and it takes more space.
how to overcome this problem please any one knows provide the proper solution for this issues

Hi Chetans,
I have had the same problem, and I had to create a OSS message to SAP in order to solve this issue, until now I don't have an answer. They made me to change a lot of configuration in Java and BW without luck. To tell you more, when we try to export to excel the java instance restarts aumotatically.
But we have this problem, when we try to export a huge quantity of data, so I found a note which says the limitation of exporting to excel. Take a special attention to the Performance section.
Note 1178857
[https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1178857|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1178857]
I recomend you that you create a message to SAP. If you find a solution, please let me know.

Date Modified Date/Time Issues on Files Exported to Excel

Hello -
I am using Crystal Reports XI, Release 2 and Visual Studio 2005 Enterprise Edition for my ASP.NET application.
CrystalReports dll version : 11.5.3700.0
.NET Framework 2.0.50727
I use the CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument to export a report to Excel (ExportFormatType.Excel).
When you view the exported file in Excel 2007 (just open and close it, making no changes), the Date Modified date of the file changes to whatever date/time the file was last viewed. I have also noticed this same behavior when exporting to Excel from Crystal, using a vendor desktop application that is written in C++ and uses Crystal XI.
Does anyone else experience this issue and have a resolution?
Edited by: Meg Thickman on Feb 3, 2009 8:59 AM

Hi Meg,
Just to clarify did you mean viewing the PDF?:
"Why would/should the file system date change merely by viewing the report?"
Our exported files are not linked to the master RPT file.
As I indicated the XLS file is likely in an older format and Excel is detecting and updating something which the file system then detects a change and updates the date stamp. Or excel is writing something back to the file. Did you notice if the file size changed or possibly the byte hash?
This is not something we are going to be able change. For compatability reasons we cannot stop Excel from updating the file.
As a work around add the Data Date field to your reports and your auditors can use that as the reference. It will reflect the actual date and time the report was run. Or use Excel API's to update the file format once the report has been exported in your code. You may also want to check with Microsoft to see if it's an option in Excel not to update the format or possibly a registry key to disable the option.
Thanks again
Don

If I then change the Output format to 'SAP List Viewer' then choose the from the Menu - List - Export - Spreadsheet nothing happens. If I also select 'Print Preview' and then 'Spreadsheet' nothing happens.

Time Data Type when Exporting to Excel

Hello,
I have a report I wrote using crystal reports XI. There is a datetime field which I converted to a time field through the use of a formula and the time function. When I right click on the field and view the data type it says time.
However, when I export to excel the field comes up as a custom field. How do I get it so that the exported field will appear as a time field in excel?
Thank you for your help.

SQL 2008 R2 Export to Excel 2007

I want to export data using the Import and Export Utility to Excel 2007.
I choose a destination of Microsoft Excel and choose an existing (empty) Excel 2007 .xlsx file.
The following errors result. A new worksheet is created in the Excel file with the name of the table and with column headings but no data. If I repeat the export choosing the now existing Excel file it works fine.
How can I make it work the first time?

Thanks for your reply.
I think the datatypes are correct.
This is the sql for the SQL 2008 table:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[q_table](
[Q_No] [nvarchar](40) NOT NULL,
[data1] [nvarchar](255) NULL,
[data2] [nvarchar](255) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
This is the sql for the Excel table create.
CREATE TABLE `q_table` (
`Q_No` LongText,
`data1` LongText,
`data2` LongText
There is only one row in the table:
Q_No data1
data2
2 444 aaa
The same export works fine if I select .xls (Excel 1997-2003). This error happens with every table I try to export to .xlsx. I created this table and export to try to debug the issue.
We do this sort of export all the time and I want to use 2007 becuase we often have more than 65K rows to export. Now we export to Access and then export to Excel but it adds time to the job.

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?

Export to Excel Issues

We just upgraded from Crystal 8.5 to Crystal 10. When we export to Excel, the formatting is terrible. We have close to 100 reports that we routinely export...some with 40,000 rows. To try to fix these once they're in Excel is out of the question.
In previous threads I've been reading about a "patch" that supposedly fixes this. Where can I download this?
Eric Hill

The way reports work and export changed significantly in CR 9. While there was a dll available to help move from CR 8.x to CR 9, that dll is no longer available. Not for CR 9, nor any other versions of CR. Instead, you will have to modify your reports as per the article [Crystal Reports Designer Version 10 Exporting to Microsoft Excel|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/10d3ba69-951e-2b10-3093-e3cf287a57c9?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true].
No other work-arounds or options exist at this time.

Cross-Tab Report export to Excel

I have a cross-tab report that I need to export to excel and keep the same formatting. When I export the report the first column is Part # the next is operation #. The report is grouped on Part number, but each part may have multi operation. When I look at the report in Crystal or as a PDF the part # is at the top then each operation is a seperate row that follows. When I export it to excel it works fine but instead of the part # appearing at the top then follow by each operation the part number ends up on the last operation in the list. How can I export this and keep the format the same? by the way I have tried both xls data only and xls 2007 options

Hello Experts,
I also tried to export the CR cross tab report in Excel Data only format.
Also I want to display Row label i.e. my Rows are different dates so I created a text field and named as Date & Time but when export it to Excel Data Only, the date time label appears 1 row above then rest of the columns. It works good while looking on InfoView but export messed it up.
Can you please suggest.
