I have a drill through that passes four parameters. Three are passed from the current selections in that reports parameters and the fourth needs to be the customer name they click on in the body of the report so it's passed as Fields!fieldname.Value. When I click on the customer name, the drillthough fires but the report simply doesn't load. If I remove the parameter from the field clicked on and just pass the three parameters, it goes to the drill through correctly and that fourth parameter just sets to the default for that parameter in that report.
I can then simply check that parameter and select the value from the list that is exactly the same as the value I was attempting to pass it in the drill through and report refreshes correctly.
Whatever it is, is something in the manner that the value is passed in the drill through specifically.
i have created a dsn to extract data from an SQL2000 server into Excel. this all works fine. Now i have edited the data and would like to import the updated fields in my database.
There are no new fields just updated information. I have used the import wizard from SQL Enterprise manager. I have selected to delete the current table and replace is with the one ive created.
This is where the problems begin.
When i finish the wizard i get an error saying there is a conflict "collum reference constraint". wich i think has something to do that there are links to this table wich can not be simply deleted and recreated.
I was using linked servers to import Excel spreadsheets into SQL Server Express 2005. This worked fine with Windows XP and Office 2003.
I have just migrated all my stuff to Vista and Office 2007. Linked servers just can't be created:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express ------------------------------ "The linked server has been created but failed a connection test. Do you want to keep the linked server?" ------------------------------ ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.ConnectionInfo) ------------------------------ Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "XXX". OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "XXX" returned message "Unspecified error". (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 7303) For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&ProdVer=09.00.3042&EvtSrc=MSSQLServer&EvtID=7303&LinkId=20476 ------------------------------ BUTTONS: &Yes &No ------------------------------
The parameter values I used are:
Provider: Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider Product name: Excel Data source: D:...somelocalfile.xls Provider string: Excel 8.0
I gave full access rights to the Data source file and folder to NETWORK SERVICE and SQLServer2005MSSQLUser$MOZART$SQLEXPRESS where mozart is my PC name.
If I change Data source or Provider string to some garbage string, the exact same error message appears. So it appears the error might be in the Provider?
Maybe it worked once, but in most time it doesn't work, query like below
select top 10 * from OpenRowSet('microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0','Excel 8.0;hdr=yes;database=\ws8webablefilessitefiles4000010 eibcactive.xls', 'select * from [crap2$]')
I got error
OLE DB provider "microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0" for linked server "(null)" returned message "Unspecified error". Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0" for linked server "(null)".
but the same query can run without any problem on a SQL 2000 server run on a server in the same network.
We're using RS2000 and there are some reports that are having problems exporting to Excel after having been rendered.
The reports have no more than 30,000 rows, but are about 150 columns wide. The reports run (execute and redner) very quickly in Reporting Services, but when exporting, the "blank rendering window" (the one with the URL: "http://ServerName.Reportserver?ReportName&rs%3aCommand=Render&rs%3AFormat=EXCEL) is open for about half an hour, and the w3wp process pummels our 8 proc box (CPU between 50 and 90% for that time) and memory goes past 1.5 GIG (of the total 8 GIG) usage.
Sometimes we'll get a message asking the user to log in after about 10-15 minutes, after which it fails, other times it makes it to the dialog box asking if you want to open or save the spreadsheet. If it makes it to this dialog, it's OK, if not, it fails on the export. The resulting spreadsheets are only between 25 - 32 MG, not very big at all.
Are there any settings we can tweak to speed this up, or at the very least, be sure it always makes it to the Open/Save dialog?
I searched the list but did not see anything related.
I cannot open a file directly exported from RS in the Excel format. If I open the file in the Windows version and then close it, no need to even save it, I can then open it with the Mac version of Excel. The file size after closing is about 2K less so the RS program is adding something onto the file that the Mac version does not like. It will crash Excel when trying to open.
I cannot export the report as CSV as it will not correctly import into Excel on the Mac.

I have a cube that I created in AS2005, I have a hierarchy and drillthrough action defined. When I create a pivot table in Excel based on that cube and I try to drill down on the cell in the pivot table I can not drill down to the next level. I get an error message: Cannot show or hide detail for this selection. My hierarchy is based on Dimension Facility. Facility State is root level, facility zip is next level. When I'm in AS2005 and browse the cube, I'm able to drill down and drill through and see the hierarchy just fine. (Also, I find interesting that when I create a cube in excel, based on a two relational tables, I'm able to drill down. ) I have the Analsysis Services Add-on installed on my machine, so I have the Cube Analysis Menu item. But I can't seem to even drill-through. So, for now all I want to know is why can't I drill-down (i.e. double clicking on a cell and having the data related "explode" in the spread sheet) like it shows in the article written by William Pearson, titled September 12, 2005 Introduction to MSSQL Server Analysis Services: Reporting Options for Analysis Services Cubes: MS Excel 2003 and More. Any help is greatly appreciated!! Queen

I am trying to encode the barcode on the reporting service using SQL server 2005, they told me it is possible to maintain the barcode on exported excel sheet, however, I did not find the barcode on it, only squre black image.
Hello, I am new to this sql server reporting server technology. I have a requirement like the table header should repeat in all pages of the exported excel's print preview. So I have created the header columns with fixed lenths as same as table's header in the page header of the report. Then only the Header will repeat in all pages of the print preview.
But the problem is when doing like this, many of the columns have been merged together. The report layout is ok. But cant sort the data. It says a message "This operation requires the merged cells to be identically sized."
In some forms i have found the header control's edges need to be sized identically with the tables' columns edges. I did it. But still the columns are merged when exporting.
When I view the report on the web, everything is fine until I exported the report to Excel. Additional column and row without heading appear in the exported Excel report. I have no idea, where do these row and column come from as I don't have these additional row and column in the designer. These additional row and column contain the subtotal.
How do I get rid of these additional row and column?

Has anyone encountered and solved the same problem?
I have one issue left to solve before releasing my drilldown report to production. The report displays fine in report manager; however, when it is exported to excel, the color (Coral) in the last column on the right is bleeding into the next three columns in excel. I have looked at properties, sizing and searched the archives. Anyone have an idea how I can fix this to render properly?
I have exported a report to excel that contains an ntext column. The exported excel file shows "#Error" for the ntext column in some of the rows. If I see the same report in reporting services I don't see any problem. I have checked that this is not any issue with the length of the text. Could you suggest me something on this?

I'm quite new in Reporting Services and have the following problem:
I created a report which is getting its data from 5 different databases. For every database I made a subreport to get the data. In the preview and on the Reporting Server all the data is displayed find. Now I want to export the report to an Excel sheet which does work. But where the data from the subreports is to be shown it just says that subreports in table-cells has been ignored.
Another problem is that the way the report looks in the preview is fine - on the reporting server the columns are far to wide. I allready marked that the width should be fixed.
Some more information: in the main report some cells are merged. In these merged cells is the data from the subreport to be shown. The subreport displays the data in a table which has exact the same amount of colums (and the same size) the cells in the main report had before merging.
I have a report with 3 matrix only one matrix is displayed at a time depending on a parameter value, I use an expression in the visibility Property, since then, when I export to Excel the Toggle buttons have disappeared.
Works fine in Visual Studio. Once deployed to SharePoint though, the drill through returns an error that says report can't be found. So I added the .rdl to the conditional statement in the report Design.
For developing a report I'm using SQL Server 2000 with SP4 & MS Visual Studio .Net 2003. After expoting a report in excel format file, the size of the excel file is so much big that while openning the report file it seemed to be hanged the PC.
Is there any way to reduce the size of the excel in reporting services?
I have one SSRS report which contains indents but it is not included when exporting to excel sheet. Is it possible to include indents when exporting to excel?I have included indent in the textbox property of a field-->Alignment-->Padding Options-->Left-->Exp-->

This is working fine in the SSRS report but its not applied when exporting to excel.
A space was added as the first character of the contents in the Left, Center and Right section of the Report Header and Footer exported to Excel. Example :
In the RDL, Header values are:
Left = "Product Report" ; Center = "Confidential" ; Right = "Page n of n"
In the exported report to Excel, Header properties (-->File.-->Page Setup--> Header/Footer Tab) are:
Left = " Product Report" ; Center = " Confidential" ; Right = " Page n of n"

We are showing hovering data in the report. When we hover the pointer of the mouse over cell, it shows the data. But when we export the report in excel, hover functionality is not working in exported report. Finding the solution to ensure hovering should work in the exported excel report.
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. I should also mention, that this issue with groups is seen on all my reports which have groups, not just this report.
I am exporting SSRS report to Excel I am aware that excel doesn't show footer , It shows in print preview but my footer has text box which have text disclaimer more than 255 characters, the data getting truncated.
