I have a report that the user can print right from the RS site on three pages (each page one page wide). However, when I have the server email the report as an attachment in Excel; Excel tries to print it on four pages with one of the pages spilling over into the fourth page.
How can I get Excel to format the print version just as I have on the RS site?
I have created range bar chart and I am not able to achieve the following tasks.
1. Change X-axis Label Format to Quarter:
I have x-axis with dates and y axis of project groups. I have changed x-axis interval type = month and interval=3.
Set the Maximum = Max(ProjectEndDate) and Minimum = Min(ProjectStartDate).
Now my chart showing 3 months x-axis interval dates in mm/dd/yyyy format. I want to change this interval date format to Quarter. The problem is LabelsFormat property is not recognize the "=Q or q or quarter" and also not accepting the expressions. How can I achieve this?
2. Placing series side by side when it is not overlapping
I want to place the same group series side by side only when the previous project end date is less than next project start date, otherwise place the next project to next row. How can I achieve this?

Hi all,
I'm having an issue with data from an OLE DB source being converted from numeric [DT_R8] to text when I export it to Excel. I had the column in the spreadsheet formatted as Numeric, but when I set it up as the data destination, it is showing in SSIS as [DT_WSTR].
The SSIS job runs OK, it just converts my numeric data to text in the spreadsheet. I'm surprised that the job actually runs, since I have to do explicit data conversions for my OLE DB string data in order to convert it to unicode. From what I have read elsewhere, the decision was made in SSIS not to use implicit data conversion, but to require explicit conversion. Yet this export is converting my numeric data to text.
I would appreciate any information on how to set up the Excel Destination to properly handle numeric information.
When I open the spreadsheet in Excel 2000, it works fine. When I try to print, it crashes Excel. In testing, I narrowed it down to the Header/Footer, because it also crashes when I go to Page Setup and click on the header/footer tab.
However, I can print the same spreasheet from Excel 2007.
Am I just dealing with a "you need to upgrade all your clients" situation, or is there a known issue with certian formatting that is passed out with reports that is not supported by older versions of Excel?
I am using Reporting Services 2005 SP2 to serve up the report that is exported to Excel.
Any assistance is appreciated.

Having just discovered that linked reports do not retain any print formating applied to the original report I thought I'd check out the forum and see if it was just me having a senile moment or if Microsoft had in fact dropped a clanger of massive proportion.
After reading one or two questions from other RS users it does seem as if Microsoft have stuck again and completely diminished a useful feature by stripping it of anything, well....... useful. Well done MS, you once again have my applause for mind-boggling ineptitude of what should be impossible magnitude. Ah, you've got to laugh.
Maybe this and other bugs with RS2005 will be ironed out in Microsoft Reporting Services 2008 - The Search for More Money.
Hi experts,
What I am trying to do is to open an existing report in a Print Friendly format .
What is the simplest way to do this using Visual Studio?
Here's the sort of thing I hope is feasible:
I can open my Report on a web page , then on that page can be a button / link for the user in case they want to open
that report in a separate window.
So I'd like to jump to that page by jumping to an URL and sending all parameters
something like :
http://Dev_Server/Reports/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=%2fMy+Reports%2fTest+Report&rsaramOne=Parameters!paramOne.value + paramTwo=Parameters!paramTwo.value + etc all other parameters , I have on that report
Any suggestions would be really appreciated .
Regards,TIA
Hi,
When I Preview my report then it's fine only 2 pages with no blank page with header in between.
I then deploy it & open via web.
But when i export to PDF & print it pints 3 pages with the first being a blank page with header.
Any Idea what I'm doing wrong?

Hi
I'm experiencing the following problem:
When I export my report to excel then open up the Print Preview in Excel, the table headers are not printed on each page, only on the first. I have ticked the "Repeat header rows on each page" in the table properties, but to no effect. For some reason this works for PDF but not for Excel.
Is this some kinda bug or am I doing something incorrectly? I've tried putting the report in in a table as a sub-report, but that doesn't work either.
Is there a work-around (besides putting the table header row in the page header)?
I'm really at my wits' end and quite frustrated.
Thanks in advance
Hi, This is because there are many columns need to display ,when users export to excel ,now they have to manually adjust the worksheet as one page(width and hight) . Therefore,as the title,can anyone help me?

I use RS2000 SP2.
I would like to set table header to Print titles option when export a report to excel.
I try to create text boxes in stead of table on Page header area. This way seems good, however, this way is difficult for preventing merged cell problem.
Does anyone know good solution?
Does it solve at RS2005?
Hello Microsoft or Forum Members:
This seems like a simple Microsoft Based Reporting System 101 feature...But I can not find out how to do it (among other things that seem like it should work with Microsoft rendering to Microsoft).
How do I make the SSRS 2005 Header for the Report print on each of the pages in excel once it is rendered from SSRS?
All I want is an answer by MSFT that says "YES" it can be done and how or "No" it is not currently available.
I noticed I am not the only one with this type of simple question:

Hi, I am using SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services to export several reports to Excel. I have been able to get around the column merging issue but there are still a few things I still need to do:
Add filters to the column header row. I haven't seen where this can be set in RS. Is there a way to do this?
Set up the spreadsheet to print a certain way. I have set the page orientation and size, along with margins and a header which repeats on each printed page. What I haven't been able to do is:
Repeat the column headers on each page
Shrink the table so it fits one page width. I have narrowed the column widths but there are too many columns to fit on one page so it needs to be shrunk down.
Add page numbers to the printed report. I tried adding it to the header and footer but I only get page 1 of 1 on each page.
Can anyone help me on any of these issues?
My alternative is to create a custom rendering extension but I would rather extend the existing one. Is that possible? How can it be done? I checked out OfficeWriter but I really didn't see anything for the printing side of things, unless I missed something.

Hi All
I've been googling this for a while now and can't seem to find any elegant answers.
I'm looking for an automated way to present a FORMATED Excel Spreadsheet to the Customer from a stored procedure output.
Can anyone advise me the best method of doing this - should I / can I assign an Excel Template to the DTS Task output ?
His mind is set on Excel and the formatting is basic and easy to write in a Macro which I've done, but this requires human interaction to finish the task (Automated Run Once on opening etc).
In an ideal world an individual would send an email to the Server with two formated parameters (@FromDate & @ToDate) and would be emailed back a ready formatted S/Sheet. But I believe he would be willing to just select the relevant SpreadSheet for the Daily / Weekly / Monthly periods dumped.
Thanks

I have an SSIS package that exports data to a named range in Excel, except that instead of putting the data in the named range, it adds the first row of data to the first row below the range. The spreadsheet is not protected. Why doesn't the data get put into the named range?
When I'm done testing the SSIS package, I want to protect the spreadsheet and enable edit for the named range so that data can be written using the SSIS package. Will enabling the named range be necessary?

Hi I was wondering if anyone else was running into the problem where SSIS inserts data into a range incorrectly.
I have a Raw File Source in a Data Flow. The data is manipulated and then defined to insert into a named range within an Excel Worksheet. I have a task prior to the data flow that takes a template and copies it to another location. Within the Template I have defined several named ranges.
The Data Flow inserts the data in the line below the named range. For instance if I have a named range defined as B1:C1
the insert occurs on B2:C2
Does anyone know why this is happening or how I can get it to insert into the Range I have specified?
Thanks in advance!

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an SSIS package that produces an Excel output file say File1
The Excel output file is created from a previous script task by copying a standard excel template to File1
after the copy, File1 has the disclaimer, legend etc... and a header row at row 10.
So data rows should only start at row 11.
I was googling and found that people who read Excel file using an Excel source component have been successful reading
from a range by the use of the OPENROWSET property. It is said to set this property to Sheet1$A5-B999
to start reading from row 5.
I tried to set the OPENROWSET property to be Sheet1$A11-B999 but am getting an error "Check that object exists"
(Sheet1 does exist) So I guess it is the range that has an improper syntax or something else is wrong.
Please advise. Thanks

Hi,
I have a dts package which is reading from a sql table and writing it to an excel file, its working fine except that I have a decimal field in the sql table but in excel file its writing it as string field.
The way I create this package is that I create a template file and I format that column to a "Number" format. Then I take this template file, rename it, export all the data to this file.
But when I open this file that decimal field is displayed as a string column and its left aligned.
Is there any way to fix this problem?
Thanks,
Hi,
I have a problem when exporting a report to Excel.
The problem is with the custom formatting. The report has a field named amount with its format property = C (on the properties window of the textbox in the report designer). When the user exports the report everything seems ok, calculations and so on... but the problem is when from another workbook a cell makes a reference to the cell amount of the exported report. The exported report, has this format [$-1010409]$#,##0.00;($#,##0.00) on the amount cell. In fact every format type of the report designer, begins with [$-1010409].
To reproduce this error:
Make a simple rdl with a textbox format C. Export it to excel. Create a new workbook and make a cell reference to the exported report formated textbox cell (='\ComputerFolder[ExportedReport.xls]Sheet1'!$E$15). Close the exported report and the new workbook, open the new workbook (not the exported one) and update the reference. Results in a #Ref error.
Tnx of your time and effort.
Sorry for my bad english.
