I have 5 Webi reports and all these reports works fine. Out of the 5 reports , 3 reports i could export to available mode. But the other 2 reports too i can export to pdf or excel or excel 2007. Here come the problem. When i export to excel or excel 2007, i do not get the exact structure of the report, like the table and the values. What i get is complete blank with Report Tab name.
Have anyone gone through this kind of problem? If so please help me if i went wrong for this 2 reports alone.
Thanks
Niki.
First select the Table and Check in Vertical Table setting and if you see any Blank variable added into report, please delete.
So that report will extract without any error.
You can set preferences if you want to optimise export to Excel to preserve formatting or preserve data. Try configuring your preferences to preserve data or preserve formatting when exporting to excel and experiment.
Exporting to excel can be tedious, your webi report needs to be optimised to properly export to excel and preserve formatting and data

I have a crystal report having 5 columns and when I am exporting it to excel I am getting some blank columns .
So I want to remove the column when there is no data while exporting.
Could any one please help how to do this
In many cases, you can avoid blank columns by ensuring there is no horizontal space between report objects. You can add vertical guidelines and snap objects to these guidelines to facilitate avoiding spaces.
But for some scenarios, such as reports that also include CrossTabs or parameter-driven optional columns, the problem can't be avoided even with 'Excel (Data Only)' export format.
A few 3rd-party Crystal Reports automation tools can delete blank columns and blank rows as part of the Excel export process. Ken Hamady maintains a list of 3rd-party Crystal Reports automation tools here.
When exporting a Crystal Report (2016) to excel format, I am getting extra columns in the report. This does not happen with any other export format. So empty data columns display in the first 30+ columns. How can I correct that?
This can get frustrating if the report is too complex, but if you design the report so that no fields overlap and there are no gaps between the fields, then the export should work better. However, if you have fields and objects in sections where the widths of things in one section differ from the width of things in another section, then you are going to get merged cells and empty cells in your export.
Sometimes its much easier to export the report using one of the (Data Only) Excel export options. This can help to force the export into single cells without merges and gaps, however, the exported spreadsheet will be unformatted and will require some manual formatting after the export when using this method.
I have a JRXML with an SQL query inside the template. If I try to generate report (from java and Tibco Jasper Report) the preview and the pdf show me the correct data. The Excel version instead show me only the tables, without any rows (that I see in the preview). Alle the tables are designed with jr:table.
Anyone know why this happens?
Thanks
Luigi
Solved!
The issue was a tiny text field (most probably a type during cut and paste inside the jasper report tool) overlapped on the jr:table.
Removed this, the report is correctly rendered also on xlsx.
I have a crystal report where I need to mail the users the data in the excel as an attachment but with the condition that filters are enabled in each columns of the excel report .
If I have 10 columns in excel , user doesn't want to apply filter explicitly rather they want the filter already present so that they can filter based on any column .
If there is another better way of filtering the data on user side please suggest that too.
There is no way to do this from within Crystal reports. You can write an application, which will export the report to Excel, open the Excel file and add a filter.
There is a free version of R-Tag, which supports this feature. You can see it demonstrated here: http://www.r-tag.com/Pages/Preview_RTagAndBOE.aspx
Use the menu to jump to "Advanced report extensions" or go to position 5:26
If this works for you, here is the link to the free edition:

From 2008 Crystal Report view, the number format reads as 580015704027 in which is correct.
When exporting data from .rpt to .csv, that number format changes to 5.80016E+11.
How do I make it stick so that it will be exported correctly while on automation?
Thank you,
Holly
Here is the solution.
This solution works if you are using a database field with number format.
Right click on the filed go to Format Field.
Move to tab Number.
select last option (1,123.0000)
Now export to .CSV format.
