Creating A Custom Excel Report - sahi

I should be able to customize excel script reports here:
C:\Users\ [user] \sahi_pro\config\reports\excel\script_report
As explained here: http://sahipro.com/docs/faq/how-to-customize-html-reports.html
When I make changes, they don't apply.
Edit the script_report XSLT Stylesheet
Run a script
Go to logs
Click on the script that's ran. Should see the script report.
Click on the excel icon on the top right.
This should produce the customized excel report.
I tested to see if the html reports could be edited and I can custom html reports anyway I want using this method.

Editing the XSLT Stylesheets seem to be working for the html reports, not excel sheets. To write custom excel reports, I am using the "Sahi Pro - File Manipulation APIs" in my scripts.

Download Report as Power Point

Is there any reporting tool from which I can automate the output as Power Point. I have access to Crystal and Tableau. From Crystal I can only download report as PDF and then paste in the PPT. Tableau I can download as PPT but some formatting issues and I need to manually download as PPT. Please advise. Thank you.
I think you may want to take a look at DOMO which can:
render a dashboard as a slideshow on the fly (https://domohelp.domo.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043437793-Sharing-Content-Using-Slideshows)
download a PPT for your dashboard
allow you to create refreshable ppt based on your own template (https://domohelp.domo.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043437953-Using-the-Domo-PowerPoint-Plugin)
Do you simply need to convert the report pages to a brand new PowerPoint file with one slide per each report page?
Any extra needs such as using a PowerPoint template?
Or using an existing "hosting" PowerPoint file and a target page for insertion?
Do you need any resizing or cropping of content before it gets inserted into the PowerPoint file?
What is the frequency at which this is needed?

Tableau Export PDF with custom template

I have a viz showing on our site and the sales people may have customized it by running filters on it. This customized report we want to export as a pdf. Can i customize this some how to use a specific header and text as well?
Here are some things that i would like to include
I want to put a custom header/image
Some text to show contact us/sales rep info and some descriptive text
The viz as it is displaying with filter applied
Some text underneath the viz
FYI: this viz is showing on our site. I am not referring to Tableau server.
Thanks.
Out of the box, with Tableau Server there is a tool called tabcmd that you can use to create a PDF of the viz on Server (see http://kb.tableausoftware.com/articles/knowledgebase/using-tabcmd).
Once you have created the PDF you would need to run a second job with something like Coherent's PDF Command Line Tools (http://www.coherentpdf.com/usage-examples.html) to mark up the PDF with the content you want to add.

SSRS Footer not exporting to excel [duplicate]

I am using SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 for reporting. When we export the report to Excel, the footer image or textbox is not exported. Header image is getting exported successfully.
Does anybody know a solution for this?
Jon is correct they are exported but on opening the file you wont automatically see them as they are not displayed in "Normal" view, in 2007 switch to "Page Layout" view. not sure what its called in other versions of excel.
Note: You also might want to read this as it relates to the use of Headers/Footers in RDLC and exporting them to Excel.
Footers in Reporting Services are exported in Excel.
To see them, you need to click View -> Headers and Footers (in Excel)

what are different preview report using excel preview and excel preview(using J ExcelApi) in iReports 2.0.2?

i'm still new in Jasper reports.i still confuse what the different preview report using excel preview and excel preview(using J ExcelApi) in iReports 2.0.2.Which is more common that people use?. is there any effect when we generate the report?. Can anybody tell me?
Jasperreports supports multiple export formats (xls, pdf, csv, etc...). After developing a report using iReport, you can generate a report in any of those export formats. The best way to view those reports is using an external appliction that you can map. For example, xls report is tied with Excel and pdf reports are tied with Adobe Reader. The new version of iReport supports generation of these reports using the application itself (preview). However, what happens in the background is the same whether you view it with external viewer or internaly using iReport "preview". Personaly, I prefer to use external viewer. The exported reports are cached in the compilation directory.

Why my report has strange fonts when I export it to PDF file?

Hi
I have a report which has been created by Crystal Reports 8.5.
When I run my application (vb6) and wanna show the report, every thing is all right but problem begins when I export it to PDF file. The .pdf file has strange fonts and can NOT be read .
I have used "Tahoma" font for displaying text on the report.
What is your solution? Is there any solution?
Maybe your .rpt got corrupted somehow? Try building a new test report from scratch and use the same setup to export it to PDF. If that works, then you'll probably have to rewrite your real report from scratch.
