Ssrs 2008 export to csv file display issue

In a new SSRS 2008 report, I would like to know if there is a way to automatically expand the width of some of the rows when the data is exported to a CSV file so the data is displayed correctly. Here are examples that I am referring to:
1. In one column where there is suppose to be a date that looks like 12/11/2014, the value of ########## is displayed. The value of 12/11/2014 is what is setup in the SSRS formatting option.
2. In a number field that is suppose to look like 6039267049 the value that is displayed is 6E+09.
Basically if I manually expand the width of the columns that I am referring to above, the data is displayed correctly. Thus can you tell me what I can do so that the data is disaplayed correctly in the CSV file and ther user does not need to manually expand
the column to see the data?

Hi wendy,
After testing the issue in my local environment, I can reproduce it when use Excel to open the csv file. As per my understanding, there is no width when we export the report to csv, Excel is just using the default cell sizes when we open the csv. So when
a date value is wider than the default cell size, it would be displayed as ##########. When a number value is wider than the default cell size, it would use Scientific format.
As to the date value, we can use the expression =cstr(Fields!Date.Value) to replace the former one =Fields!Date.Value. In this way, the width of the value is narrower than the default cell size, so that the date value can be displayed correctly. For the
number value, it already narrow down the width with Scientific format. Or we can Select all the cells in the csv file, then click Format| AutoFit Column Width to change all the cells width to fit its corresponding values in Excel level.
Besides, we can try to export to excel instead of csv. Excel format can inherit the column width in the report. So in this way, we can directly change the width to fit the values in Reporting Services level.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Data modeler, error when exporting to csv files

Thanks.

Hi,
I logged bug however information is not enough to locate the problem.
You can use export to reporting schema in order to get your model exported - in database in that case.
We are not going to extend "export to CSV file" functionality any further - it'll be as it is now.

Import from dsv files and export to csv files

hi every body..
how can I create a project in NetBeans which does:
1- import a .dsv (Delimiter-Separated Values) file content and save it to array
- the values in this format separated by fixed commas
example
"AIG" "Insurance" "64.91" "25/11/06"
2- export into .csv file (Comma Separated Value)
-the values in this format separated by commas
example:
AIG,Insurance,64.91,25/11/06

Well, you need to learn Java so you can read files, divide the data by the delimiters, and then write it out as a csv file.
Can't really give better instructions than that...maybe start by reading the basic tutorials?
We don't give out full program code here so you'll need to ask more precise questions. Such as what is it that you're having problems with.

Is it possible to export a CSV file in stead of a XLS file in WDA ALV?

I know the user can change the file type themselves. But it would be better to export a CSV file directly. Do you have any suggestion?
Many thanks!

Ssrs 2008 export to excel and csv file

In a ssrs 2008 report, the user will export data to PDF, excel, and CSV files. When the report is exported to excel or csv file, the user wants me to hide some tablixes. Thus can you show me code on how to export the reports to csv or excel file without
and be able to hide a few tablixes?

Hi jazz_dog,
According to your description, you want to set the visibility for some tablixes based on the exporting file type. Right?
In Reporting Services 2008, we don't have any parameter to get type of exporting file. So we can only create a parameter and select a type before exporting to a file. Then use conditional expression to control the visibility. It's definitely not a good workaround,
so your goal can't be achieved in Reporting Services 2008. However, for Reporting Service 2008R2 or later version, we have a build-in parameter called Render Format Name, this parameter will display the type of exporting file automatically. So we can make
the judgment in expression based on the value of this parameter.
Reference:
Built-in Globals and Users References (Report Builder and SSRS)
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best Regards,
Simon Hou

Ssrs 2008 r2 export to csv file problem

In an SSRS 2008 R2 report, the users are going to export the data to: csv (comma delimited) and excel.
I am using the following to display if a column is visible or not:
=IIF(Mid(Globals!RenderFormat.Name,1,5)="EXCEL" AND First(Len(Fields!CustomerNumber.Value)) > 0,False,true).
I have set the DataElementOutput=Output for the textbox that displays the value. I have left DataElementOutput=Auto for the textbox that contains the column header.
When exporting to csv (comma delimited) or excel, I basically want the column to be visible when there is data in the field and the column not to be visible when there is no data.
The code works for excel but the code does not work for comma delimited.
Thus can you tell me what I can do so the column is not disaplyed when the data is exported to csv (comma delimited)?

I don't think what you are trying to do is supported in .CSV files as it only saves text and values. See the following article:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/excel-formatting-and-features-that-are-not-transferred-to-other-file-formats-HP010014105.aspx
If you open a .CSV file using excel you can use formulas, but if you try and save it, it will not allow you to. I assume this is what you are trying to do.

Spool output to .csv file - having issues with data display

Hi,
Need to deliver the output of a select query which has around 80000 records to a .csv file. A procedure is written for the select query and the procedure is being called in the spool script. But few of the columns have comma(,) in the values. For Example, there is a personal_name column in the select query which says the name as " James, Ed". Then output is displayed in different columns. Hence the data is being shifted to the right for the remaining columns.
Could some one help fix this issue. I mainly used a procedure as the select query is about three pages and hence want the script to look clear.
Script is,
set AUTOPRINT ON ;
set heading ON;
set TRIMSPOOL ON ;
set colsep ',' ;
set linesize 1000 ;
set PAGESIZE 80000 ;
variable main_cursor refcursor;
set escape /
spool C:\documents\querys\personal_info.csv
EXEC proc_personal_info(:main_cursor);
spool off;

Hi,
set PAGESIZE 80000 ;is not valid and it will print header as default every 14 rows.
You can avoid printing the header in this way:
set AUTOPRINT ON ;
set heading ON;
set TRIMSPOOL ON ;
set colsep ',' ;
set linesize 1000 ;
set PAGESIZE 0 ;
set escape /
set feedback off
spool c:\temp\empspool.csv
SELECT '"'||ename||'"', '"'||job||'"'
FROM emp;
spool offThe output will look like this in this case
"SMITH"     ,"CLERK"
"ALLEN"     ,"SALESMAN"
"WARD"      ,"SALESMAN"
"JONES"     ,"MANAGER"
"MARTIN"    ,"SALESMAN"
"BLAKE"     ,"MANAGER"
"CLARK"     ,"MANAGER"
"SCOTT"     ,"ANALYST"
"KING"      ,"PRESIDENT"
"TURNER"    ,"SALESMAN"
"ADAMS"     ,"CLERK"
"JAMES"     ,"CLERK"
"FORD"      ,"ANALYST"
"MILLER"    ,"CLERK"You can also consider creating a unique column by concatenating the columns in this way:
spool c:\temp\empspool.csv
SELECT '"'||ename||'","'||job||'"' In this case the output will look without spaces between columns:
"SMITH","CLERK"
"ALLEN","SALESMAN"
"WARD","SALESMAN"
"JONES","MANAGER"
"MARTIN","SALESMAN"
"BLAKE","MANAGER"
"CLARK","MANAGER"
"SCOTT","ANALYST"
"KING","PRESIDENT"
"TURNER","SALESMAN"
"ADAMS","CLERK"
"JAMES","CLERK"
"FORD","ANALYST"
"MILLER","CLERK"Regards.

sql

Hi RH,
You can add two textbox at the top outside the tablix and using expression to get the parameter value use have selected to display in the textbox as blew:
TextBox1: =Parameters!Date.Value
TextBox2: =Parameters!To.Value
For Multiple value parameter you can use the expression like : =Join(Parameters!Date.Value,",")
You can rename the two textbox' name in the properties as "Date" and "To" then the two textboxs will display like belkow in the CSV report:
Date                 TO
01/01/2015     01/31/2015
ID   EmpFirstName    EmpLastName   Location
1      Tom                  Garry                  NY
2      John                 Graham               NJ

Excel export gives csv file occasionally after multiple exports

Hi experts!!
I have the following problem.
After several exports to excel from the web UI the file format turns to csv, even though the user runs MS office 2007.
I found 2 notes describing the issue but these are for other releases and cannot be implemented.
(I am working on CRM 2007)
Any ideas????
Thank you in advance!!!

Hi,
for investigating this problem a short introduction to the Excel-Export function is helpful.
On serverside JavaScript tailored for interaction with the current Table is generated. This code is invoked on the client machine and tries interfacing with Excel via ActiveX-Controls. In a third step the data is requested from the Application Server, this request is processed in the handler class CL_CHTMLB_CONFIG_TAB_EXCEL_EXP.
I guess that the problem is caused by the JavaScript code executed on the client machen. There is a fallback, if no ActiveX-Control could be initialized a csv-File is requested from the server.
I would try some JavaScript debugging, the function thtmlbExcelExport in library scripts.js would be a good entry point.

.csv file displaying "square" instead of text

Many thanks in advance

Excel 2007 csv file formatting issue

Our users create .csv files for upload to SAP. Their habit is to include a number of blank lines in excel to make it more readable.
In Excel 2003, blank lines were handled as, literally, blank lines, and opening in a text editor shows exactly that, a blank line (with a CR-LF character to terminate the row).
In Excel 2007 however, the blank line consists of a number of commas equal to the no. of columns, followed by the CR-LF termination. Hope that makes sense.
While the 2003-generated .CSVs are fine, the 2007 versions cause SAP to throw an exception ("Session never created from RFBIBL00") and the upload fails. The question therefore is, has anyone ever come across anything similar, or is anyone aware of any remediation that might be possible? Haven't been able to find any documentation on this Excel 2003-2007 change sonot able to address the issue through Excel config.
Thanks!
Duncan

How to Query remote PC's registry by OU for 2 values and export to CSV file.

I'm new to scripting and to Powershell but this is what I have managed to put together so far. Of course it fails. We have two custom entries in the registry that I want to query remote workstations for these values, Monitor 1 and Monitor 2. Output to a
CSV along with the workstations name. Because of our AD structure I figured its just easier to input the OU individually as seen in the script. That portion of the script seems to work. I get the following error in bold when I run the script: I've Google'd
and tinkered with this for a week now with no resolution and seem to be going in circles. And yes, I had help to get this far.

What do your registry values look like in the Monitor and Monitor2 subkeys?

# Connect to registry
$remoteHive = [Microsoft.Win32.RegistryHive]“LocalMachine”;
$regKey = [Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey]::OpenRemoteBaseKey($remoteHive,$($_.Name))
# Open the Environment key
$ref = $regKey.OpenSubKey('SYSTEM\CurrentcontrolSet\control\Session Manager\Environment')
# Create an ordered hashtable with the data from string values named 'String Value One/Two' in Monitor and Monitor2 subkeys

Table export to csv files and blob/lob/clob data types

Greetings,
Im planning to export oracle tables to a csv file, however, it came to my attention if BLOB/LOB/CLOB datatypes will be included during the export to the csv file?
DB: Oracle9i Database 9.2.0.1.0
Regards
Edited by: oracleelcaro on 4-okt-2010 9:45

Hi,
The performance would be slow, since as per my knowledge if you go for direct path - still tables or segments dealing with lob will opt for "conventional path".
Any non-textual information exists - kindly check out before to export.. ??

BO 4.0 save as csv file format issue

Hi All,
We are using BO 4.0 Webi for reporting on SAP BW 7.3 system. Some of our reports have to be scheduled to bring the output in CSV file format. When I schedule the report in CSV format, the final output has data in two sets. The first set has the list of columns which I have selected in my report. Starting on the next row I get to see the second set of data with all the objects selected in the query panel including the detail objects.
We only need the data for the columns which is selected in the report, but it is bringing the dump from all the objects in the dataprovider.
Can anyone tell me how to get rid of the second set of data in the same csv file ?
Thanks,
Prasad

Hi,
CSV format is reserved for 'data only' dataprovider dumps. it exports the entire webi microcube (query results)
You don't get that option when going 'save as' - which preserves the report formatting - in which case you should consider .xls

H
