In SSRS 2008 (I use Sql Server BIDS to create reports) how to solve "Excel Export Fail when Number of rows in the Excel sheet exceeded the limit of 65536 rows ssrs" issue
Thanks
Yes, this is a limitation of SSRS through 2008R2.
SSRS 2012, included with SQL server 2012 will remove this limit:

The workaround for 2008R2 and before is to export as .csv
When your results are exceeding 65k rows (and you dont have SSRS2012), create a parent group on the tablix (or table, or list) and in the Group on: field enter the expression below.
Add Page break between each instance of a group
=CInt(Ceiling(RowNumber(nothing)/65000))
I think some Excel Versions can not support more then 65536 rows per se. You might consider to expand the data on several worksheets / tables.
A similar Issue is discussed here:
Is it possible to see more than 65536 rows in Excel 2007?
If your report is simple enough you can export as CSV, then import into Excel.
Export that data to csv file first.
then open a new Excel 2010 blank workbook.
Click file and open the exported csv file.
it will give you a Text Import Wizard prompt.
Continue clicking Next and then Finish.
If there is data that you need to keep as text ensure that in Step 3 of 3 you click Text for each column that you want to keep leading zeros if any.

i'm new to CR. i have a report basically consisting of 2 tables of data(data comes from several subreports, not crosstab) and whenever i export to excel data it all comes out under 1 line, the entire report.
i've tried adding adding Chr(10)/Chr(13)/Chrw(10)/Chrw(13) at the beginning of each line, together with the data as well as a separated formula but only get an empty cell, instead of a new line.
if i separate the data in different sections, i'd lose the "table" look as i cannot extend lines&boxes over the section length.
i'm out of ideas at this point. anybody?
Option 1: get the data into a single data set. For example, use a Command/View/SP with a UNION ALL in the SQL.
Option 2: at least one of the 3rd-party Crystal Reports tools listed here allows you to automate the process of exporting one report to Excel and append the Excel export of a 2nd report to the same Excel workbook and worksheet.
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:

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
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.
Exporting to Excel in SSRS getting error when it crosses 65,000 rows
I am using ssrs (BIDS) to create reports, I struck in exporting to excel when it crosses 65,000 rows. how to solve this problem in ssrs reports
Are you exporting as an .xlsx file? I know in pre-2007 Excel (.xls) the maximum row count was about 65,000.
I got the answer and I hope this is the another way to solve the above problem
generate sql table like this
col1 col2 grp
1 2 1
2 3 1
4 5 1
2 4 2
4 5 2
and give group by column as "grp" and make visiblility false for grp textbox in ssrs report. also in page breaks properties check the "between each instance of a group" checkbox. when you exprot to excel the data will come in differnt sheets for diffetent groups.
user this link for query - Increase row count in sql server after some count (say 25,000)
That's an excel 2003 limitation and SSRS does not support excel 2007.
You need to export to csv or add groups on your report (with 65k max rows) so each group will be exported as on sheet on the excel document
