Crystal reports CSV incorrect generation - crystal-reports

When setting ExportFormatType.CharacterSeparatedValues crystal report generates every row of data prefixed with column names (Report Headers). Why it does this? How it could be fixed? Usually it is preferred to have single header. For excel export type - generated report looks ok (only single header for all rows).
I am using crystal reports 11.5.3700.0. Visual studio 2008, .net 3.5 sp1

If the type of delimiter is not of concern, you may want to try 'Tab Separate Text (TTX)'.

You need to check the option to 'Isolate report/page sections' in the export options for that section.

hiding blank columns in crystal reports while exporting to excel

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.

Reports in Jasper have no results when export in XLSX

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.

jasper reports: exporting table with grouped headers to excel

let's say, I have a table in my report with complex header like this
when I export it to either xls or xlsx using Jasper Reports Server it prints like this (Excel 2010):
Column 1 height should be equal to Column 2 + Header height
Enviroment: Jasper Reports Server CE 4.5.1, tried latest version (5.0.4) - same (sad) result
How can I correctly export such header to Excel?
Does anybody knows any workarounds?
JasperReportsServer is configured to collapse row spans, see the collapseRowSpan property of the xlsExportParameters bean in WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml.
Set that property to false to have the group headers span two rows.
iReport has the same property at Options/Export Options/Excel/Collapse Row Span.

Is there a way to export Crystal reports formulas to a readable document?

I have a very complicated Crystal Reports XI rpt file with 30+ group header sections,
each with its own suppress (No Drill-Down) formula. I would like to document this report
in a separate ASCII txt file so I can get an overview of the report. Is there any tool or any way I can export Crystal Reports XI formulas without going through each section and copying them?
The export functionality provides an export format called "Report Definition" which will export the complete definition, including all formulas, to a text file.
RptToXml is an open-source project with that goal in mind.

Row and column headings on crystal reports

I am using the crystal reports 2008 version.
I need the column headers to stay on top while scrolling down the data. The column headers are present in the page header section. Is there a way to get this done?
I don't believe that this is possible in CR. What you might have to do is export your report to Excel so that you can freeze the headers there.
Why don't you add a group, something innocuous, and mark 'Repeat Header on each page' in the Change Group dialog.
