SQL 2012 :: Retain Leading Zeros While Exporting SSRS Report To Excel
Jan 28, 2015
I have a query in a SSRSreport that returns a value that looks like '012345'. The value looks fine on the report preview screen.
When the report is exported to excel, that value is displayed in a cell as '012345'. When I click out of the field, excel is dropping the leading zero and converting the value in the field to 12345.
Why is this happening and i have converted the value as string as well using expression.
I have an SSIS routine which uses a simple SQL select statement from a SQL Server 2005 database and then goes to a Flat File destination. The field (dischstatuscode) is a nvarchar(50) and it may contain data with leading zeros.
Code Snippet Select DischStatusCode from dbo.pm
...which returns: 01 23 37 05 04 41
When I open up the csv file produced by the SSIS routine, I see the following: 1 23 37 5 4 41
I have a report with three subreport, i want to hide data of subreport while exporting reporting in to excel. I have used this function  (=IFF Globals! Render foramt.IsInteractive,False,True) but didnt work.
I am trying to export the result of a select into a .csv file using SQL Server 2000 DTS. The data for varchar fields has leading zeroes in the database, which is very much required in the csv file.
But, the .csv file trims the leading zeroes. How do we force to maintain the same data as in source?
I had used Text File Destination Connection as the destination, with the below options File Extension: .csv File Format: Delimited File Type: ANSI Text Qualifier: Double Quotes ("") Row Delimiter: {CR}{LF} Column Delimiter: comma
Source Data: 0123 Target Data (Requirement): 0123
The data in .csv: 123 (This is the issue)
When I open this file in a Text Editor, I do see the data in double quotes..."0123".
Looking at an execution plan the conversion of NVARCHAR(15) to BIGINT is a big yellow exclamation NO NO. However, the numbers in the NVARCHAR(15) have leading zeros.
Technically speak 0123456789 is not an INTEGER or BIGINT, the performance of my Stored Procs is there any way to allow leading zeros in a BIGINT Field?
Logic:ensure the Docket number is 5 digits and populate with leading zeros if not.I have to check input number field is 5 digits, if not I have to populate with leading zeros to make it as 5 digits.
Hi, In my application I am exporting the 2 different tables in the report to the 2 Excel Sheets by giving page break at the first table,The first sheet is getting exported fine. The problem is ,the 2nd Sheet got exported with the report from the cell 'A2' only. (ie) The first row is blank,The export starts from the 2nd row only. What has to be done to get the excel exported in the first row itself. Please help me with this issue.
We are facing one problem while exporting the SSRS (SQL Server 2005 SP2 installed on win2K3) Report to Excel format, problem is when we export report having more than 50K rows to Excel format SSRS fails to export because it€™s a limitation of Excel that a Sheet can€™t contain more than 50K rows. This issue is resolved in Office 2007 but SSRS its own libraries to export, is there any way we can make SSRS to use office 2007 libraries to export? Has anybody faced the similar issues? would appreciate if you can give solution for this problem or forward any link which discusses the same.

I have developed a report in ssrs 2005. While exporting the report to excel 2007, i have a problem in displaying the footer values in spreadsheet. Moreover, in the page footer of the report, i have added a few condtions so as to display one of the textbox's values in the last page alone and the rest in all of the pages! But when i look in to the page layout in excel, i get in all of the pages rather than having it in the last page.
Added to that a cell doesnt hold more than 255 characters in excel.
I have one SSRS report which uses drill down "+" approach. The records will be opening only when you click on the "+" sign. There are 3 levels of "+" sign in the report. All records are included when exporting to excel. Is it possible to exclude all the records? Can we show only the opened records.?
I am getting extra column while exporting SSRS report into excel but those columns not in my report. How to avoid these columns please find the attached screen shot with red circle.
We are using SSRS 2012. We have a report that conditionally formats a background color for some cells. The report renders properly in a browser and in Excel 2003 format. In Excel format all cells after the first one that meets the condition are highlighted, even if only one cell should.
The sample expression that triggers this condition looks like this: =IIF(Fields!VIOL_NOTE.Value="Internal","Green","No Color")
All cells after the first one that meets the condition Fields!VIOL_NOTE.Value="Internal" have a green background.

I searched the forums for 'Retain leading 0 in datetime field' and received 0 hits.
I have a client who needs me to export SQL data as a txt file. All of the varchar fields are working well. I am having a problem with the datetime field. In my SQL table, I have a datetime field named 'Date_Acquired'. I enter the date as 04/28/2008 but it shows up in the table as 4/28/2008 and exports to text as 4/28/2008. Is there an easy way within my export Stored Procedure to reformat the datetime field to retain the leading zero? I have explored the CAST and CONVERT statements but have been unsuccessful so far.
We use to get SSRS report through mail in the form of excel multiple tabs. We have 4-5 tabs. We need to delete one of that tab from processing. How can I delete that tab without come into the excel tab
I am facing some issue in rendering my SSRS report(2012 version) to excel sheet with color codes. i am using conditional formatting to display the colors. So what is happening is ,take the below expression as an example, for the id  = 0, we are not getting white back ground, we are getting some other colors. But the same thing is working fine in SSRS 2008R2.Â
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.
We mark cells in  a report using color names like red, pink, and transparent in the fill expression. In the browser it works correctly. When exported to Excel the colors go to the wrong cells. This worked correctly in SSRS 2008.Â
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
Group1Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Group2 Â Â Â Â Â Group3 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Group4 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Group5 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 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 would like to add leading zeros in the date. Thsi is my existing procedure, it adds leading zeros, but it formats using "yyyy/mm/dd", instead of "yyyy-mm-dd" Select Id, Title, CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), ModifiedON, 111) --CAST(YEAR(ModifiedOn) AS VARCHAR(4))+'-'+CAST(MONTH(ModifiedOn) AS VARCHAR(2))+'-'+CAST(DAY(ModifiedOn) AS VARCHAR(2))as ModifiedOn From ActiveAds Where Row between @startRowIndex And @endRowIndex
I have a situation where I need to display an integer with leading zeros, with a defined length. Example, 43 appears as 00043 when the length is 5 and 000043 when the length is 6.
I tried using "=Format(Fields!DirID.Value.ToString)" with different variations to no avail.
mssql 2000, asp.net(vbscript) How am i able to trim leading zeros? Right now i have two values:00000005 500000010 1000000015 15..... etc... how do i write a query where i can select an argument where 5 = 0000005? the column with 00000005 is varchar and5 is numeric
I have a problem while importing data from Excel to SQL Server.The leading zeros in data get truncated.Even if I try and change the excel data column as 'Text' and copy paste the data back into the Text column, the problem persists.Does any one have any thoughts about this problem?
I am creating a view which involved concatenation of 2 int columns.
The data in the columns look like
Column 1 Column 2 1234 1 12345 11
I am trying to get the following output
001234001 012345011
So the first column should have zeros padded to the front to make 6 numbers, the second column should be 3 numbers long with zeros in front. So when added together it is 9 numbers long.
What is the best way to change an output of P0123 to 123? i.e. drop the letter 'P' and also any leading zeros. We have a report that outputs terminal ID's which range from P0001 through to P0536.
I can drop the 'P' easily enough, but how I can drop the P000 from terminal ID P0001 for example.
I'm using varchar as a datatype and my leading zeros are chopped-off once ther data reaches my Stored Proc. The table will allow me to store the values with leading zeros if I enter them manually, but I cannot insert them via ASP/StoredProc.
Hi All, I need to set up a kind of identity insert that gives an output in the format: 00001, 00002, 00003 etc. Is there a formatting option for this sort of output using normal identity insert features or do I need to write a function to insert these values (perhaps as text) each time a new record is created? Sorry if this is really simple but it's only my 4th day in this job! Marcha
