XL Reporter Error (Excel 2007?)

Hi Guys,
I'm trying to run a report on one of our segmented databases but I have hit a snag. Please see attached screenie via link;
http://i.imgur.com/2FaO8.jpg
As you can see, the error is pretty vague at best but the problem only arose after the system was updated to Office 2007. However, it also seems as though other reports have no problem with the update, and run with no issues.
It's not a lot to go on I know but can anyone shed any light whatsoever?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Matt

Blind luck has come into play! Problem solved!

Warning message when exporting a Financial Report to Excel 2007

Excel 2007 users that attempt to export a fully formatted Financial Report into Excel 2007 get the following error message:
"The file you are trying to open, 'FileName.xls', is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?"
I am still researching the behavior that users get when they click through the message, but would ideally like for the message not to appear without updating the client machine registries. Has anybody else run across this?
Excel 2007
BI Plus version: 9.3.1.0.0.248

It looks like this is a known issue addressed in Bug 7359171 - EXPORT TO EXCEL 2007 CAUSES FILE FORMAT WARNING:
The current design does not allow you to open HTML content from a web site in Excel unless the extension of the URL is .HTM/.HTML/.MHT/.MHTML. So ASP pages that return HTML and set the MIME type to something like XLS to try to force the HTML to open in Excel instead of the web browser (as expected) will always get the security alert since the content does not match the MIME type. If you use an HTML MIME type, then the web browser will open the content instead of Excel. So there is no good workaround for this case because of the lack of a special MIME type for HTML/MHTML that is Excel specific. You can add your own MIME type if you control both the web server and the client desktops that need access to it but, otherwise the best option is to use a different file format or alert your users of the warning and tell them to select Yes to the dialog.
Another Workaround :
Client Configuration of Extension Hardening.
Client desktops can change the default behavior of the security check using a registry key. The following registry key can be set to alter the behavior ofthe Excel 2007 client in the following ways:
Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Excel\SecurityValue: (DWORD)"ExtensionHardening" = [0 = Disable check; 1 = Enable check and prompt; 2 = Enable check, no prompt deny open]Default setting if value not present is 1 (enable and prompt).
The client can configure the site to disable the check by setting ExtensionHardening = 0. This will stop the prompt from appearing, but it will also disable any future checks for the file content validity. This does not (in itself) lower your security. The check is part of a defense-in-depth strategy to prevent malicious users from crafting files of a different type than its extension (or MIME type), which could then be used to trick users into opening a file of a type they did not expect. This warning is designed to let the user know of this potential threat and given them an option of canceling the open if they wish.

Crystal Reports 2011 - excel 2007-2010 export

Hello,
I just upgraded to crystal reports 2011 from crystal reports XI Release 2. I am having an issue exporting to excel 2007-2010 format. When I do an export and then open it in excel, excel gives me an error message that the file is corrupt and if I want to recover the contents. When I try and recover the contents, I am greeted with the error below. I am not sure what to do to fix it and would appreciate any help.
Removed Part: /xl/sharedStrings.xml part with XML error. (Strings) Illegal xml character. Line 3, column 19160.
Removed Records: Cell information from /xl/worksheets/Sheet1.xml part

Hi Marina,
What version of Excel are you using to open the report?
Have you tried creating a simple report and exporting it? It's possible something in that report is causing the problem.
Good luck,
Brian

Exporting Crystal report to excel 2007 with an image

Hi - I hope this is the correct forum for this question.
We are using the Crystal report viewer and everything works just fine . When I go to export to excel (using office 2007) the images are not exporting, do you know if this is an excel 2007 problem or a Crystal issue?
Thanks in advance
DanPlo

Hi;
I still recommend installing the Service Pack. If the issue persists, and is contained to the version 8.5 reports, then yet, they will likely need to be converted to version 11.0 to work correctly. The Crystal Reports engine was completely re-written in version 9.0, so moving from 8.5 can cause some issues.
If you try exporting one of the 8.5 reports from the verison 11.0 Designer, do you have the issue?

Jonathan

Exporting a BI report to excel 2007 from Portal

Hi,
Any one please let me know is there any option to export a BI report from portal to MS excel 2007, the option which we have directly prompts to save in 2000/2003.
Regards,
Pradeep

Hi Pradeep,
Could you please try if following trick works:
1. Open the report at Portal.
2. Export it as 2000/2003 format.
3. Open the downloaded report with your MS Excel 2007
4. Save it as 2007 MS Excel format.
Sorry as I haven't personally tried above but just a suggestion; Please let me know if above works or not?

Crystal Reports 2008 - Excel 2007 Data Source

Have been using Crystal reports 10 and have downloaded 2008 but I can't see a way that I can use an Excel 2007 spreadsheet .xlsx as a datasource. The reason I need 2007 is due to the increased number of columns.
Can anyone confirm if it can be done if so how
cheers
Malcolm

Hello,
Sorry its not supported. Next version of CR will support it.
CR 2008 will generate sheets for every 65,000 rows of data.
If you need that many coumns you may want to look at some other export format or refining your data.
Thank you
Don

Is it possible to download a report to excel 2007?

Hello,
I'm wondering where I should configure the fact that I want to download a report that has been made in webi (XI 3.0) to an excel using the Excel version 2007 (with less limitation concerning the number of rows available). Right now I only have the option of downloading it to an Excel file of Excel version 2003.
thanks
Thierry

Hi All,
I'm on XI R2 and i had the same problem but when i intalled excel 2007 on my machine i'm able to export the data to excel even if the number of rows are more then 65krows.
In excel 2003 the row limitation is 65k row and in excel 2007 its around 10 lac rows.

Exporting Oracle 10g reports into Excel 2007

Does anybody knows if there exits compatibility with the export function to Excel 2007?
Some users will be installing this Excel version and i don't know if the formatting and displaying will be similar as using previous versions. They use the export function available from Discoverer Viewer.
We have Oracle Discoverer Administrator version 10.1.2.1 and Discoverer Administrator client 10.1.2.48.18.
Thanks!

This is an old thread, but I was hoping there might be an update for it. The workaround of exporting to a .csv does work, but we need to be able to export to excel 2007. We have Discoverer Plus 11g and there doesn't seem to be an option to export to 2007's xlsx (just xls). Is there a way to add xlsx an an option to export to?
I saw the metalink document describing why exel 2003 (& 2007) behaves the way it does, which is fine. If that's the case, I (or my users more specifically) don't want to use it. Truth is, most users balk at extra steps (even a simple one like manually picking .csv), and the happier they are the easier my job is. They need to be able to export to the 2007 xlsx version which supports 1 mil rows per sheet. Can that format be enabled in Plus 11g?
Thanks

Problem opening downloaded report in Excel 2007 with Hierarchy (BW 3.5)

Hi,
When we download a BW (3.5) report from the web to excel with an hierarchy (for example on a GL account or cost element) and try to open it in excel (version 2007), it takes a very very very long time (aprox. 15 minutes) to load a simple report. Normally this should only take 5 secs. When we download the same report without an hierarchy it opens as fast as normal.
This problem is very recent and in the last year at least we have never encountered it.
Do you know what could cause this and how we might be able to fix it?
Thank you very much for your help!!
Kind regards,
Hermen

Excel 2007 Download Error from SQL Server 2012

We are running SQL Server 2012, downloading SSRS reports into Excel 2007.
The report renders to the monitor just fine.

Crystal Reports 9 Export To Excel 2007

Hi All,
We are using Crystal Reports 9 designer in VB6 to create our reports.
When report is generated and siplayed on the screen, the option to export the report to Excel only gives the option of Microsoft Excel 97 - 2000. We are looking to upgrade to Microsoft Office 2007.
Question: Is there any way to update Cyrstal to allow the ability to export the Crystal Report to Excel 2007?
Is there any dll that can be applied to present the Office 2007 export option capability?
I am doing this to determine if Crystal Reports 9 would be able to ulitize Office 2007.

Hello Don,
The problem is that Excel 2007 is not offered as an option to export to to. If we upgrade to Office 2007, we need to be able to select this. The Microsoft 97 - 2000 would not work as Excel would be 2007. We don't want to have to created as Excel 2000 and then have Excel 2007 convert it. We are looking for a way to have Crystal 9 have the ability to export to Excel 2007 directly.
Is there any upgrade to Crystal 9 that would allow Excel 2007 as an export option or would we have to upgrade to a different version of Crystal? We are trying to avoid upgrading Crystal since this would require purchasing multiple developer licenses and the report would have to be recreated using the upgraded version report designer in VB6.

Extension warning when opening report files in MS Excel 2007

All,
We have created report files that are configured to open in spreadsheet/excel format, and when attempting to open the report in Excel 2007, the following warning message appears:
The file you are trying to open, '[filename]', is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?"
How can I get this message to stop appearing?
Thanks

Here is a blog about this very issue.

Excel 2007 and Excel 2003 format

Hi all,
we have some problems with Excel file format on BPC 7.5NW SP06:
1- We save input schedules or reports woth Excel 2007 file format. Then when we try to open these report they are corrupted (we click on "Open" and nothing happens). We can download the report from UJFS. The xltx file is corrupted. We can change th file extension to xls. Then we can open the report again.
2- Is it possible to define the default extension when we save input schedules and reports? By default xltx is selected. We want to have xlt selected by default.
thanks for your help,
Romuald

Hello,
First you can try checking if you have configured your apset to work with xltx.
1. Open BPC web admin and select AppSet Parameters
2. Check ALLOW_EXTENSIONS and DEFAULT_EXTENSIONS if you have xltx there
3. If not, add and click on update
If this continues to happen, check note "1579344 - Office 2007 extensions not loading in BPC 7.5 SP6 for NW". This can be a program error, but note that it only happens for some templates.
Hope it helps
