When I try to print a power view sheet it comes out blank (no ink on the paper), even though the print preview shows the sheet nicely.
See image below (secret stuff is blurred out):
According to Microsoft themselves it should be possible to both print and export (to pdf) a power view sheet.
Many other sites also claim that it should be possible, e.g. https://www.tutorialspoint.com/excel_power_view/excel_power_view_sharing.htm
I have tried both options though, and it comes out blank on paper when printing, and when exported just shows a blank pdf page.
I ended up contacting Microsoft support and I was told that it is only possible to print an image of the current view if the Excel document is on a SharePoint server.

I have an SSRS Report that has data in a column containing line breaks (CHAR(13) + CHAR(10)) however it refuses to show the wrapped text automatically or by choosing from the Home toolbar Cells-->Format-->Auto fit row height. Does anyone know how to make this happen so the user can see the cell contents when it opens in Excel? Basically they have to manually select each row and specify a height.
I'm using SQL 2012 for the moment. I also tried the same report on 2019 and it makes no difference. The report is hooked into an app so it comes out directly as EXCEL. When I run it from the report server in HTML it is showing the data with the multiple lines as desired.
I have a bar chart like this :
For privacy Reasons I had to obscure labels. So let's call them Label 1 Label 2 etc. If I click on one of them I want to have returned the relative rows in this matrix, that is placed in another dashboards (the second page of my report) :
If I put this table on the same page of the report I do not get any problem. But if I put this table on another page of my report nothing is happening. I read already some reports about synchronization but I still have some issues.
Just Solved. Being relatively new to Power BI it was not clear what I was searching for. I solved by drill-through. I just chosen the page to drill out putting on the drill-through space on the right side of the page the set of variable of interest.
I found this page and this you-tube video to be very helpful
We have a problem with automatically created Excel documents. I'm not sure if it is related to how we create the document or else is a viewer problem. But in any case, it's confusing.
When opening the Excel document, the content of some text fields is abbreviated by just displaying some short postfix of the content. On double click, the full content is visible. What is confusing is that the full content would well fit into the fields as it is displayed.
How to prevent such abbreviated fields?
I've attached two screen shots showing the problem.
first column of line 13 is abbreviated:
after double click, the first column of line 13 is displayed correctly:
For a sample document, follow this link. The document shows correctly in my firefox browser but faulty when seen with Excel on Windows 10.
We have a report which contains 6 pages (I have used page breaks). Each page has few sub-reports and few charts. We are exporting it as Excel.
When we are trying to print one sheet the page is breaking into multiple pages dividing the sub-reports and charts in middle. Is there some best way or thumb rule to follow in order to make reports print friendly.
On the Ribbon (I have Excel 2007) go to View tab, then select Page Break Preview and drag page borders as you desire. These settings are saved together with the workbook, so on the next reopen page breaks will remain as set.
Finally found the answer.

I'm looking to place my company's trailer inventory on a few free classified ad sites. Our inventory database (filemaker) can export data into an excel spreadsheet (column A-Make, B-Model, C-Year, etc.) including the URLs of the photos of each trailer.
Our dealer sites allow for bulk uploading through XML and that works great.
My problem is on the smaller free classified ad sites that have a web form that needs filled out (the example I'm using here has text fields and drop-down menus, but other sites have check boxes and radio buttons) then submitted for each individual trailer (about 90 trailers). I'm wondering how I can use the data in my spreadsheet to auto-fill the form with the information in row 1, submit it, re-navigate back to the form and repeat the process with the info in row 2 and so on. I know that I'm going to have to tailor my data and columns to fit each site (match column names to field names and change relevant data to match drop down options, etc.).
**edit Also (although not necessary) it would be nice if it was possible to have my photo URLs entered as well (if at all possible).
I've created a "test" account on http://www.horseclicks.com. Once logged in you have to click on "My Trailers" on the left and then the "add" button

Any takers??
This doesn't completely answer your question, but would save you some time entering the forms manually. If you know the names of input tags on the form you want to fill out, you can write a Javascript that will fill out the form for you: i.e., document.getElementById('your_name').value=Name[x]; etc.
In that example, Name would be an array that would contain a list of the names you wanted to put in the input field "your_name". You can easily turn an Excel sheet into a Javascript array by exporting to CSV and cut/paste into your code. Make it so that the value of x increases by 1 each time the script is ran.
Take your whole javascript, and turn it into one line that starts with "javascript:" and place this as a bookmark in your toolbar. Now you can go to the form, hit the your bookmark button and it will fill out the form. Hit submit, go back to the form, hit the button again...
