SSRS footer text color not changing - excel

We are applying a stylesheet to SSRS report footer. Footer Font color is set dynamically based on the configuration in the database.
When report is exported into Excel, footer color is always black. It is always black in the SSRS report as well. However PDF export shows the footer color correctly.
Has anyone faced this issue with footer color in Excel export? Is it not possible to change the footer color in Excel export? Any tips are appreciated.
Thanks in advance

I suspect you're just using a color that Excel doesn't typically use. Try matching your CSS to one of the 56 colors that Excel can accepts from SSRS. See:
exporting-to-microsoft-excel
"If more than 56 colors are used in the report, the rendering
extension matches the required color to one of the 56 colors already
available in the custom palette."

I just struck a similar issue, but when Exporting to Word docx format. It seems to ignore the font settings for placeholders in a footer.
I was able to work around it using the technique described in the link below - you set the text as a Placeholder with Markup Type = HTML, then wrap the text in HTML tags as the Value e.g.
="<font color='blue'>My blue footer text</font>"

Wrap text of Table cell in exported Excel in BIRT

I am using BIRT 4.4.1 in eclipse for report generation.
I would like to wrap my text of Table Header, it works fine in webviewer but when i exported to excel the table cell text is in a single line, and also the text is overflowed. I dont want to make the cell width equal to the content, I would like to wrap the text based on its container width.
I have set the cell width and label whitespace property as auto. is it correct, or what do i do to make it work in exported excel report?
In Webview
After exported, Excel view
In 4.4.2 export as XLS (not xlsx). As a workaround you can also add a line return within the text and that will appear correctly when you export to xlsx.
A third option that works with xlsx output is to select the text box in the cell, and in General Properties set the Whitespace to Preformatted. Then, either set the header cell size to a height that covers the required text OR in general properties of the entire report, set the layout to Auto Layout.

Number display as # in generated Excel file

I have an Excel file generated by JasperReports. What you can see here is the Excel's column will be display ### if the number is too long. I don't want to resize the width of column, i just want to display the number without seen as ### and stretch the height. I have tried set the column to Stretch with overflow and Stretch type = Relative to band height
This is the screenshot:
You will need to set the appropriate Jasper Reports excel property on your report element, or on the whole report iself. Documentation: http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/sample.reference/xlsfeatures/
Specifically
net.sf.jasperreports.export.xls.column.width.ratio
If these properties are not available in your JasperReports version, you may have to simply fiddle around with the sizing to get something decent.

Change the color of a link using the ribbon in sharepoint 2010?

A user pasted the content from a word document into a wiki page.
In the word document all the links have the same font and color but on the wiki page some links are blue, some black, some using arial, some using times new roman. I guess the generated HTML screwed it up. Anyhow, when I mark text I can change the color, font, size and so on but when I mark a link the change color button is disabled (but I can change font and size), why is this? Do I need to ask the user to copy the contect back to a word document, edit there and then copy paste it again to the wiki?
Thanks in advance.
There is a good chance that there is some embedded css styles in the text that was pasted which is what is causing you grief. There should be a button that you can use to edit the raw html to get rid of those styles. Otherwise it is helpful if people paste unstyled text i.e. As Text.. rather the styled As HTML.. text.
