Very Big Cell when export in Excel

Dear Tech guys,
I use VS 2008 with VB and CR 2008.
Crystal report, and export in PDF are OK, but when i export the report in Excel, i have the bellow problems.
The report is a delivery note with 7 columns and many rows.
1. In all pages, the page numbers are lost, except from the last page.
2. After last row, excel has a very big in height (height > 300) row. Because of this, excel creates a new empty page and at the bottom of the new page i see the page number (Page 5 of 5).
Can you help me with this problem??
I have this problem after the last update (Service Pack 3).
Visual Studio 2008: 9.030729.1 SP 1
Crystal Reports 2008: 12.3.0.601
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Navarino Technology Dept.

Dear all good morning from Greece.
First of all, i like to thank you for your quick respond.
Dear Ludek Uher,
1. Yes, this is from a .NET (3.5) application with VB.
2. I do the export via code.
3. From the CR designer i have the same problem.
Dear David Hilton,
The photo, is not working.
I found the option "On Each Page" from the CR designer and i changed it. Now i get the page number on every page but i can see that something is wrong with the page height and with the end of the page of the report.
I will try to show you the problem of the Excel file, after the option "On Each Page":
Header........................
Field1 field2 field3 ......
row1 .......
row2 ......
row3.....
row56 ......
{end of page 1}
{new page 2}
row57
row58
row59
Page 1 of 4 (the footer of the first page must be in the first page, but it shown in the second page)
row60
row61
row62
{end of page 2}
{new page 3}
row110
row111
row112
Page 2 of 4 (the footer of the second page must be in the second page, but it shown in the third page)
row140
row141
row142
{end of page 3}
{new page 4}
and go on.....
I hope this helped.
If i change the margins from Page Break Preview in Excel, the pages are OK. So i thing that something conflicts with the end of the page. The report does not understand the end of the page.
If there is a way to send you the file or screen shots, please tell me how.
Thank you in advance again.
Best regards,
Navarino Technology Dept.

Shifting of Cells When Exporting To Excel

Post Author: Victoria
CA Forum: Exporting
I'm having a problem when an Address 1 and Address 2 field is involved in Crystal. If an Address 2 does not exist for the customer, the remainder of the fields for that record shift to the left. This causes a major clean-up issue when there are a large number of records involved. Is there a formula that I haven't thought of that might help me avoid this? Victoria

Post Author: V361
CA Forum: Exporting
Assuming the address 2 field is null, you could write a formula to detect the null and replace it with a group of spaces. I hope excel will see the spaces as valid.
if isnull () then " " else
If this doesn't work, are you exporting to excel, or excel data only ?

Header of ALV with space when exported to excel using Standard ALV

Hi,
I am Using Reuse alv grid display    to dispaly my report and it works fine and I am using the standard SAP application tool to export it to excel.
But for some of the header fields I am getting space in the excel sheet but there is no space while displaying through ALV.
I am using the following field catalog for the same.
wa_fieldcat-col_pos = 10.
wa_fieldcat-fieldname = 'SOLLWERT'.
wa_fieldcat-seltext_l = 'text-t10'.      "Target value (* this has no space here)
wa_fieldcat-outputlen = 32.
wa_fieldcat-colwidth_optimize = 'X'.
APPEND wa_fieldcat to it_fieldcat.
but there are still space for this Colomn when exported to excel if after optimizing the column.
kindly suggest what field needs to be passed to the field catalogoe to avoid spaces in excel for the header.
Thanks
Ritesh

SSRS 2012 Conditional Formatting Color Issues When Exporting to Excel

Hi all,
We recently upgraded to SQL 2012 from SQL2008 R2. I'm having a strange issue with SSRS2012.
One of the report has conditional formattings on cell background colors. Everything works fine when render the report in browser or preview mode. However, the conditional formatting stop working when export the report to Excel (no issues if
export to pdf). All cells are high-lightened with pre-defined color although it should only high-lighten those cells that fulfil the condition.
Has someone encountered this issue before ? Thanks for any help.

Hi ZZ02,
I have test the scenario in my testing environment, however, everything goes well when exporting to Excel format. The issue might be related to the expression for the conditional background color. To make further analysis, please post the expression as well
as the report design structure.
Additionally, in SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services, the Excel rendering extension renders a report to the native format of Microsoft Excel 2007-2010, the format of which is ExcelOpenXML. By default, the previous version of the Excel rendering extension,
compatible with Microsoft Excel 2003, is disabled. At this time, I suggest that you enable the Excel 2003 rendering extension by modifying the RSReportServer.config file. After that, the Excel 2003 rendering format will be available on report manager (not
available in Report Designer). So, please export the report from report manager and check the result again.
For more information about enable the Excel 2003 rendering extension, please see:

Reports output delayed when exported to Excel using OLE2

Hi All,
Platform - Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 10.1.2.3 on Windows 32 bit.
The report output is getting generated in a minute when exported to PDF i.e destype=cache & desformat=pdf. When we generate the output to excel is considerably delayed. It is taking time and internal server error is occuring.
1) Report developed with simple query
2) Used RPT2XLS procedure which uses OLE2 builtin to export report output into excel.
3) Called RPT2XLS.run procedure in After-Report trigger of the report.
4) We have relased all memory objects in the RPT2XLS package after exporting data and there is no EXCEL.exe running once the file is generated.
System parameters used in the URL.
. destype=file
desformat=pdf
CONTAINSOLE=yes (Required for exporting OLE2 objects into Excel in report)
desname=path & name of the file.
I have gone through the tuning documents for reports server and increased minengine, maxengine and initengine parameters of the reports engine and also changed maxconnect and IdleTimeout parameters in reports server configuration file.
What might be the reason for delaying in the output of the reports when exported to Excel. Can the guys with special knowledge on this area help us in getting out of this issue.
Thanks in advance.

Yeah.. crystal has giving some issues while exporting reports without SPs, especialy previous versions.
So Better to install latest SP or patches for CR 10.0. I think SP 6 is the updated one for CR10.0.
For More info Go through this link,

Poor chart quality when exported to Excel

Hi,
Whenever we export a chart to excel, the quality of the chart becomes very poor (blurred image and font).
The images look crisp when viewing from report manager and the designer.
Has anyone encountered and solved the same problem?
Thanks

As an update, I made a comparison exporting to excel from the following 3rd party add-ins: Dundas and ChartFx but the charts came out much worse quality-wise when exported to Excel.
Is this a Reporting Service limitation or is there any setting that needs to be set?
Thanks

Formatting lost when exported to excel

When I export a worksheet results to excel the formatting is being lost like in my worksheet I wanted a line and space for every grouped item which is lost in excel sheet. Is there a way get around for this ?
Thanks

Not exactly sure what formatting you're having a problem with, but I'll list some of the points I can think of, of exporting to Excel and will hopefully cover it. I believe you may be referring to point 1 below, but just in case ...
1. If you have group sort on for a column or more, then when exported to Excel, you won't have those 'blank' values for the column(s) that's grouped. That's why when you know someone will be exporting to Excel, it's a pain as all group sorts are usually taken back off (which can screw up exactly what you're trying to point out in the workbook).
2. If you have a page -> item (ie: lots of values you pull down like a LOV), then I believe, that you won't get an Excel worksheet for each value in the LOV but only for the one currently displayed when you performed the File -> Export.
3. When you export to Excel, you only get actual values, no functions of how it was calculated (ie: it'll be static, not dynamic).
4. You can export to Excel using Plus and might not get the formatting characteristics you want in Excel. I've seen users specifically bring up Viewer just to get the formatting characteristics (colors, fonts, etc.) when they export from that Disco version.
5. Sometimes when you export from Disco to Excel, that actual value that gets posted in Excel is different. I know ... it sounds wierd, but it's a fact. The problem is NOT Disco, but is a problem with Windows and a setting has to be altered (although I'd have to hunt what that setting is now though). However, I've only seen this happen a few times, so definitely not the norm.

Crystal Report 2008 doesn't set page size when export to excel file

Hi,
I am using Crystal Report 2008 Developer edition.
At Crystal report design time setting the below page setup:
Page Options -
to A3(297X420 mm)
Orientation --- Landscape
and using the following code in .net (c#)
I am using below format options to export in excel in .net 2005
ReportDocument oReport = new ReportDocument();
oReport.FormatEngine.PrintOptions.PaperOrientation = PaperOrientation.Landscape;
oReport.FormatEngine.PrintOptions.PaperSize = CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSize.PaperA3;
if (aParamlist.ReportFormat == ReportFormatEnum.MicrosoftExcel)
ExcelFormatOptions excel = new ExcelFormatOptions();
excel.ExcelUseConstantColumnWidth = false;
// Use detail section one as a guideline to determine column width
excel.ExcelAreaGroupNumber = 1;
//excel.ExcelAreaType = AreaSectionKind.Detail;
excel.ExcelAreaType = AreaSectionKind.Detail;
// Prepare exporting options
ExportOptions export = oReport.ExportOptions;
export.FormatOptions = excel;
export.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.Excel;
oReport.Export();
when export to excel it doesn't set the Paper Size to A3(297X420 mm).
Is there any way to set the paper size while export to excel or in other formats also????
Thanks & Regds,

Hi,
thanks for your email.
This is not happening in development environment.It is setting the paper size anf paper orientation properly.
this is happening in the production environment where only redist installation is done.

BOBI 4.x Webi - Graphs when exported to Excel, turns as picture.

Hello,
In SAP BO XI 3.x version, a Webi document having graphs, when exported to Excel sheet, the graphs are exported as they are and were able to modify them. However, in SAP BO BI 4.x version, the graphs are exported as picture and are not able modify them.
I tried with multiple 4.x versions even with 4.1 SP4, but its still the same.
Is this by design that the Chart\Graph engine saves them as picture in 4.x or there are some settings that need to be done?
Any help is much appreciated.
Regards,
Abhay

Hello Abhay,
As you suspected, the functionality to add webi chart as excel chart while exporting has been changed in BO 4.x version. Please see below idea page where developers like us asking to restore the same functionality. The idea is under review now. Cast a vote for the idea.

Character drops zeros when exported to Excel

I have a template that when exported to Excel from E-Business Suite, drops the leading zeros. We want those zeros to be there.
For example, Project Number 000400 is SEGMENT1 of PA_PROJECTS_ALL so when viewed in Word, it shows the full text string. When the user exports to Excel, it drops the three leading zeros and just displays 400.
Is there a way around this?
Thanks,
Rob

Use a special character called a non-breaking-space and that should resolve your issue. Put it before or after your xml field
Insert->Symbol->Special Characters Tab->Nonbreaking Space
or
Ctrl+Shift+SpaceIf this works, don't forget to give me some points. :-)
