Webi export to excel having issues.

Hi,
I have a webi report which generates 62 mb excel file when exported to excel.
It can be saved to excel without any error but when we open the excel report it shows the error that there are some damage done to report and excel is trying to recover it.
I have tried increasing the heap size , cache size of webi report server , tried exporting to Excel 2000, 2003 and 2007 , but get the same results,
Can anybody please help me solving it soon.
I have attached the report in the attachment.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
But the problem is the report has two tabs and the number of rows is only 20000 + 4000 which is not exceeding the limit column are 22 which is also in range.
The problem i think is because of number of hyperlinks, there are almost 15 columns and 20000 + 4000 rows with hyperlinks in the report.
When i change the properties of hyperlink to be read as text. the excel can be easily opened. and also the file size reduces to half.
Any idea about this hyperlink creating issues?

Reports exported to Excel - Formatting issues

We have two Business Objects Enterprise servers (boxi r2 and boxi r3.1 sp3) running side by side. We find that reports created using boxi r2 and exported to Excel format look fine. When we run the same report and export to excel using boxi r3.1 sp3, we encounter the following formatting issues:
<ol>
<li>All columns do not fit on pages. The last 2 to 3 columns spill over onto extra pages.</li>
<li>There are some columns where most of the values are blank, but when a row is exported that has a value in that column, all subsequent column positions for that row shift.</li>
<li>All rows do not fit on page. The last two rows flow onto a new page, then there seems to be a page break.</li>
<li>On some reports dates are displayed as ######.</li>
<li>On some reports column headings are not centered.</li>
<li>I would appreciate any input that would help us determine a fix for the formatting issues we are encountering.</li>
</ol>
The report is executed using CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.
Here is the code from the application that does the export:
                            ExportOptions exportOptions = new ExportOptions();
                            exportOptions.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.Excel;
                            exportOptions.ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile;
                            DiskFileDestinationOptions diskOptions = new DiskFileDestinationOptions();
                            diskOptions.DiskFileName = filename + ".xls";;
                            exportOptions.ExportDestinationOptions = diskOptions;
                            ExcelFormatOptions XLOptions = new ExcelFormatOptions();
                            XLOptions.ExportPageBreaksForEachPage = true;
                            XLOptions.ExportPageHeadersAndFooters = ExportPageAreaKind.OnEachPage;
                            exportOptions.ExportFormatOptions = XLOptions;
                            rptDoc.Export(exportOptions);
Please note the following details about our environment:
<h5>Report Designers:</h5>CR Designer version: xi Rel 2
<h5>Developer environment</h5>Has the following installed:
- Business Objects Enterprise XI Release 2
- VS .Net 2008
- Crystal reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008

Umm, the code you provided has nothing to do with Business Objects Enterprise...(?). So, I'm a bit confused by the mention of BOE and "The report is executed using CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine" in essentially one paragraph.
Can you pls explain?

Export to excel - Formatting issue - OBIEE 11.1.1.5

Hi All,
When an analysis is exported to Excel, some of the values are showing some strange behaviour i.e. some values are multiplied by some huge number as you can see in the excel screenshot below.
BI Analysis Screenshot:
http://i44.tinypic.com/331eopf.jpg
Excel Screenshot:
http://i44.tinypic.com/34snqko.jpg
Is this BI issue or an Excel setup issue? And how to fix it?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
We too faced the similar issue.
We tried ROUND function and it was coming with proper formatting.
Try and let me know further.

Bex Web - Export to Excel / Export to PDF

Hi gurus,
Using BI-IP.
In a web-template, I use the function "Export to Excel 2000" (or "Printable version", which generates a PDF file). The function works, except that at detailed level there is no data for input-ready columns.
Is it a known bug ?
Thanks in advance.

Export to excel sizing issue

Hi there,
we are facing a weired issue when using export to excel from the query output, we have notice that while we save the excel it is getting saved as a HUGE file irrespective of the data volume.
For ex:our report has 1100 records, but when we export to excel it got saved as a 7MB file..
However when we save the file as CSV, it work okay.. wondering why are we facing an issue while export to excel ?? Is there any way that we can set the Excel format options in query output??
I've tried searching in forums, couldn't find the solutions, Please could any one throw some light on this??
Regards,
J

Hello,
The reason for the increase in size is discussed in SAP Note 1178857.
"The export to Excel function is supported as of Excel 2003. It generates an XHTML file in the Multi Mime format. This means that
Mimes (for example, icons and screens) are stored in the file. Therefore, as opposed to the BW 3.X function, you do not need to
logon to Excel again to download, for example, icons for hierarchy nodes. If you want to save the report after the export, Excel proposes the file format MHT or MHTML. This corresponds with the Multi Mime format of the generated file."
So, I think you already know this....
Possible solutions are:
1) Use open hub instead.
2) Design BI Workbooks individually for your queries and distribute them to Portal using a precalculated server. This will
help in reducing the file size and distribute the precalculated results in simpler way. You can refer to following documentation in this regard.

Webi XI report export to excel--- Formatting issue

Post Author: Sougata
CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting
We have WEBI report that contains cell with hyperlink. The value of the cell in numeric. Type is string.
When we export this report to excel. In, Excel version is MS-office Excel 2003. In excel it is showing those green with Error --- "NUMBER STORED AS Text".
Any solution?

Hi Steve,
As per my understanding, the issue occurs because Excel Destination gets the data from the source. We can change it, but once it re-validates it will change it back. This makes sense since we cannot change the data type in the actual table. To work around
this issue, I suggest that we can add a data conversion or derived column to explicitly cast the values.
Besides, the suggestion post by Arthur means that we can add IMEX=1 to the value of Extended Properties in the connection string of the Excel connection manager in the Properties window to specify Import Mode. For more details about the settings of IMEX,
please see:

Export to Excel - Formatting Issues

I am using Crystal XI and Excel 2010.
I have created a report that is Letter size and Landscape orientation. I export it to Excel and, when I open it in Excel, the columns seem to look ok, but the segmens that are in the Report Headers (there are two) are stretched way out to the right so that printing causes two pages to be printed with the second page containing the fields that were located on the right edge of the report's headers.
The title banner is also shifted so that, where it is centered on the report, it is now almost right aligned on the first page of the Excel sheet.
The Page Header, Footer and Detail sections appear to be correct.
I tried a redesign changing it to Portrait orientation and this (sort of) fixes the headings (when Excel is set o print in Landscape), but the Page Header, Footer, and Details sections are squeezed up to a third of the page width.
I'm accepting all defaults for the export, and the Report Headers re required (ie, exporting data only is not an option).
Is this a known issue, or is it something I'm not doing right?
TIA

when you export the data, do you have an option for excel data only?
Yes I do. It's labeled "Microsoft Excel 97-2000 - Data only (XLS)
when you click on the export
select to application, i believe that is the only time you get the options.
No, the options will also appear when you select "Disk file" as the Destination. But neither way works as advertised.
to next step select options
when you select the options it drops down
on the bottom you have boxes on the left and right
Yes, but, while there are four check boxes on the left ("Export object formatting", "Export images", "Use worksheet functions for summaries", and "Maintain relative object position"), there are only three on the right ("Maintain column alignment", "Export page header and page footer", and "Simplify page headers")
I tried checking 1, 2, and 4 on the left and 1, 2, and 3 on the right. No joy.
Just now tried checking 1, 2, and 4 on the left and 1 and 2 on the right. Also no joy.

Export to Excel formatting Issue

Good Afternoon,
I am trying to export a dataset to excel 2010, however all of the columns are exporting as DT_WSTR although the table that the data is coming from is set correctly either to money or int.
I have tried to change the data type in the advance editor for excel destination, however when I execute the package the data type changes back.
Any idea's?.
Thanks
Steve

Webi export to excel misaligned border free cell

Hi
I'm using Webi XI 3.1 SP3 FP 3.3.
I've a report in which I've put border using a Free standing cell. When I export this report in Excel format (browser/rich client), the border comes as empty at the start of the excel and after which the report blocks/data come.
Why is this happening?
Thanks
Deep

hi Deep,
Blank Cell is not treated as block.
Whereas Chart and tables are treated as blocks.
Hence the relative positioning between the blocks is preserved.
But not blank cell.
This can be observed by looking at properties tab of Chart/Table. You will see 'name' as block
But this doesn't holds good for Blank cell.
That's the reason Excel treats it as a separate entity.

Vamsee

Repeating row texts when exporting web report to Excel

Dear all,
When exporting a web report (including a structure/hierarchy) to Excel (via the 'export to excel button), the row texts (e.g. balance sheet texts) appear twice (column A and B)in the Excel result.
When using the web context menu 'Export to Excel' this issue does not occur.
I am using a BW 3.5 system which has been upgraded to support pack 16.
I assume it is the combination of the structure and the 'export to excel' functionality that does not match up, because when I switch off the hierarchy functionality in the web report query properties, the export to excel does not give me any problems.
Does anyone know how to solve this issue?
Thanks in advance,
Arjan.

Did you write that software, COTS package called Medgate?
If not then ask that company for support. No one here would know how to fix it. They are using the CR RDC report engine.
Thank you

Export to Excel is not working for List View Web Part after filtering using Query String parameters in SharePoint 2010

Hi,
I am filtering SharePoint list view web part based on Query string parameter and I am doing Export to Excel by using following code.
<a href="#" onclick="javascript:window.location='../_vti_bin/owssvr.dll?CS=109&Using=_layouts/query.iqy&List=0DC67399-BE11-48F3-ADFC-E911FB8B5845&View=54671412-3EFE-4281-835A-9EF747AE774E&CacheControl=1'"><img
alt="Excel" src="/_layouts/images/icxlsx.gif" border="0"/> Export to Excel</a>
Issue: Able to do Export to Excel when there are no filters applied on list view web part but if applied filters on web part and do export to excel , only header fields are displaying in the excel sheet.
I don't know why owssvr.dll is behaving like that .
Please share your ideas.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to create hyperlink to export to excel.
The URL to execute the export is as follows:
{Site URL}/_vti_bin/owssvr.dll?CS=109&Using=_layouts/query.iqy&List={List GUID}&View={View GUID}&CacheControl=1
After getting the GUID, you need to “decode” the list GUID.
Replace %7B with {
Replace %2D with –
Replace %7D with }

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,

I am having issues with my web module on Lightroom 4 (Mac OS 10.9.5). "an unknown error occurred" while trying to upload to my FTP (no changes in my FTP). Bandaid fix was to export to local folder and upload via Filezilla. However, now that is no longer working and although upload completes, the URL takes you to a "Forbidden - do not have permission to read this file" page. Lightroom is changing the permissions of each file to 000 instead of 644 for index files and 755 for all others. How can I change the permissions settings in Lightroom?

Webi Report exported to excel issues

Hello all.
I have a webi report which when I export to excel gets intended to the right. That is at the top it looks right but as I scroll down it keeps moving to the right and at the end of the page all the data is completely moved to the right and is not visible.
What could be the issue?How do I solve this?
Thanks,
Nisha

Thank you for your response.
BO Version : 3.1
Excel: 2010
yes the columns get shifted to the right as seen in the screenshot. So as I keep scrolling down the report shifts to the right and disappears as we keep scrolling.
