I have built a SSRS report where I have left the first column of a table empty. I want every cell in this column to be conditionally formatted so that it changes to red fill whenever I type in "r" in one of these cells AFTER exporting it to excel. Can I do this directly in the report builder?
Any help is appreciated. Thank you guys !
No. You need to do it in Excel.

I have a table in excel 2016 worksheet in which there is one numeric column. I have added hyperlinks on these column values.
If we click on any number, Filter gets applied/updated on data present in other sheet.
To achieve this, Is it requires macro or we can achieve this Excel functionality only
Thanks in advance.

I have created a report in pentaho report designer when i run this report in pdf format it seems to be Ok but when i run this same report in excel format the design get diturbed and cells got merged and data places also get change.enter image description here
I want that each column from pentaho designer come in a single cell of excel.
There is a separate format for PDF like A4,A4_Extra and A5. So that you can get what you have selected.There is no specific format for Excel like PDF,So You should use ruler to avoid such merged cells in excel(You have to do separately for excel)

I've found in google several ways to do it, I don't know it they may help you, you didn't put your excel version.

I have a business requirement to make part of the text for a cell to be bold. It is an SSIS package that is an Excel report. I don't want to use COM or load Excel. How do I do that?
As far as I know, you can't format intra cell values in SSIS. You can format whole cells though by formatting the cells in advance on a template sheet.
Another option, although bad, is to create a macro that the onopen event fires off.
I'm looking into SSRS with intention of exporting a lot of the reports to excel. The problem is that when you export it changes cell sizes and removes borders to try and keep the original report format.
Is there anyway to stop this happening? So that the report exports to excel with the "usual" excel formatting? If it requires any coding that's fine as most of my reports will be run from C# code.
Thanks

You could export to a CSV and import that into a spreadsheet, possibly with some sort of template sheet for the particular report.
You could export the data to Sheet2. Mark sheet 2 as hidden.
Create your designer report on Sheet1.
Run an Excel Macro to read data from Sheet2 and put on Sheet1.
It's not pretty, but you could consider generating Excel sheets from the XML renderer, as described here - this would give you full control over the appearance of the worksheet.
I think what's happening is that you have stacks of fields in your reports that aren't aligned with each other and so when you export to excel, it compensates and generates extra columns to try to come close to what you report looks like.
I used to get this all time and then I figured out that if you used as little tables as possible while using more grouping within that grid, it goes along way to send a clean format to excel. Also watch out if you use a report header whose ends don't align to columns within the report.
So match object's begin and ends with other objects' or span of cells' begins and ends.
I create a seperate report with the same data, but no formatting.
Include a button to export on the main report, and when they click it, it directs them to an unformatted version of the report that is automatically exported to Excel.
