I'm trying to eliminate merged cells when exporting a report to Excel. My problem being my report textbox above my table.
I've searched and found that making the textbox the same width as the first column eliminates the merging. Perfect, it does. But when the report is viewed in the report viewer, the textbox can only expand vertically. So the title looks terrible because column one is not wide.
I've read that expand horizontally is not an option
I don't seem to be able to tell it not to output that text box, which would be an option if there is no other answer
I can't have the text box the size I want it, due it creating merged cells
I don't want to export it as a CSV
Are there any other options available or am missing something?
I have a basic matrix report but whenever I export this report to Excel, some of the cells end up becoming merged. Is there any way to avoid this using Reporting Services instead of formatting the cells directly in Excel?
Is there a reason why a single cell in a table with the CanGrow property set to true will grow down, and merged cells grow right, and is there any way around it?
I have a report that I have to display comments, so I merged 2 cells put the comment field in it, and when it is displayed in the browser, it expands off the page.
When it prints, it seems to be fine, but the majority of my users will be viewing online in a browser.
Any ideas? just an HTML thing I am thinking, and nothing can be done about it.
I receive this error during rendering when I have two cells merged together:
Error Snippet
Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection. Parameter name: index
When I "Split Cells" on the offending cells, it starts to work. This report renders without error when run on the RS server. This error only occurs when running the report locally on the "Preview" tab in the report designer.
I have closed the IDE and deleted the *.data files and restarted with the same results. Is there anyway to get more information about the error to help debug the problem?
I am trying to split cells that are merged as part of a grouped report. Am using the right-button menu and pressing "Split Cells" when it appears but it just splits into two parts and not into single cells or rows. When I right-button on one of the parts that came out of the split, I do not get a "Split Cells" to break it down further. Want to be able to split the grouped cells into individual cells or rows and have the rows be different colors. How can I do this?
i have a client who is dissatisfied with the merged columns and rows produced when SSRS renders to Excel, it prevents them from easily copying and pasting data into another workbook.
Is there going to be any work done in this area of the product in the near future? My understanding is that this 'issue' has been around for quite some time, and shortly after the SSRS2005 RTM release the team were going to look at tidying up the Excel rendering. Can anyone from MS make an official comment on this?
I have a report with a column which contains either a string such as "N/A" or a number such as 12. A user exports the report to Excel. In Excel the numbers are formatted as text.
I already tried to set the value as CDbl which returns error for the cells containing a string.
The requirement is to export the column to Excel with the numbers formatted as numbers and the strings such as "N/A' in the same column as string.
I have a report in that report having some Text boxes and below tables.But the problem is when i export the report into excel textboxes are merged, not getting properly.
i need to sum the values in different cells of an excel sheet which im getting from data base and which is in a loop and the number of entries depends on the user.Please help me out

I created a report in list view (I have to use a subreport in it) and when I export it to excel the cells are shifted even in the header. The html is ok - the problem is only with export.
like this:
Title First Name Last Name Address
Mr John Smith Peartree Str.
I tried to fix the size and location on every cells, but this does'n work in export. Some of the cells drop at the next row and some of they are merged. I was able to receive some good export - but only with a lot of attempts of cells resizing. Is there any way to avoid this shifting?
I have a report which was in RS 2003 and exported to Excel fine. Now when I export the same report using RS 2005 to Excel I get gray cells at the bottom of each table. I have the background of the body set to transparent. I have tried setting the background of the body to white and other colors. Those colors show up but the gray is still there as well. In preview mode and export to pdf I do not have those problems. Basically gray cells are showing up where they should not be. Any help would be great.
Anyone know why cells within a matrix that are formatted as numeric export to Excel with a cell format proprty of "General"? Cells within a table however export with an appropriate format.
I load data from excel and sometimes I have problem with format of excel's cells. For example format of cell should be "general" but one of cell is "custom" and I get wrong data but if I just change format in excel to "general" - data is correct. Can I change or check format of cells in SSIS ?
I have around 600 worksheets that i need to import into sql server that are in a somewhat non-table like format. Data defractor seems to be able to do what i need, but i also need to check into doing it manually. I've seen the code to import cells and ranges into sql server, but can't seem to remember what it is anymore. I've also searched through the forums and can't seem to find any examples either. Could anyone post an example or a link with some examples or explaination code. Thanks in advance.
I have created an SSIS package which processes daily financial information to a sql server database. These processes are to be outputted to excel spreadsheets to a readable report format for management to review. Some of these reports are laid out in a way that is not just tabular output but requires customized placement of data on an excel spreadsheet to specific cells.
I am able to place an initial resultset of a query output from the database in a tabular excel template through SSIS but the issue is at the end of that placement in the spreadsheet I am required to place another output below that tabular output in a different format from the initial output which I have shown below.
I have a cube with a partition configures in write back.
Users in Excel need to see the totals of the line. Unfornately they have the bad idea to write in this cell sometimes and not in the leaf cells.
As there is some MDX code behind in the weight expression field, we got some weird values : one is negative and others ARe 10 times the initial value in the total. So it's very dangerous.
How can we block the writing in this totals cells ?
I have an SSRS report with groups that when exported to excel contains drill-in's (plus marks on left side). The issue I have is that for all the groups in the drill-in, those cells become merged. I want to keep the group drill-in but have the cells UNMERGED. I have heard this can be done with the RDL XML but I don't know what to modify to accomplish this.
I have an sql server table which serves as a criteria table for my sql server query.
i wish to update the sql server table from the excel worksheet. The intention is to allow the end user to change the values in a specific column in the sql server table via excel.

SELECT [Cluster] ,[Max_Break_btw] ,[RefD_Max_Break] ,[DischD_Max_Break] ,[MaxReviewPeriods] FROM [databseName].[dbo].[SpellClusterAssum]
I will like to change / update the values in the "[Max_Break_btw]" column.

In the footer from a report I want to print the UserID and the Date. I added a textbox with de following code: =User!UserID & " " & Globals!ExecutionTime
Now I want to change the date format in dd-MM-yyy uu:mm. This is not possible in the textbox properties because I added the UserID to the same textbox. Is there a way to change the format?

Hi, We have an existing merged replication schema that works well. One of the tables is named audit. Currently this is a bidirectional transfer. However, we want a new audit table that will transfer data from the subscriber to the publisher and not the other way round. I have a script that was generated as a backup script when replication was first created. I have no idea which parameter to change in order to have the merge replication going from subscriber to publisher. Any advise is helpful. Thanks.

I am trying to import Data from an Excel file to a SQL DB table. there are around 106 rows and 2 columns. By default, the ssis is selecting around 200 columns and over 2000 rows. But all cells except for the 2 columns and 106 rows are empty. While I can specify that I need to read only 2 columns, I could not figure out a way to specify the rows. Any help?
Does anyone know if there is such a quary that can be written which would add up(or any math functions) a line of cells (on different rows) similar to that of working with a excel document?
If so please steer me towards the correct syntax for this.
