I'm using MS SQL Server 2014 Report Builder 3.0 to generate an SSRS report in Excel. The SSRS report contains 3 sup-reports driven by independent matrices. I'm using page breaks to separate each of these into their own Excel tabs called Detail, Summary and Audit in that order. The "Audit" sub-report will often be blank, which is completely expected. The problem is that when this occurs, the Excel workbook will be generated with "Audit" tab instead being named "Detail2".
I've tried switching between placing the page breaks after "Summary" and "Detail" to placing the page breaks before "Detail" and "Audit" and it's the same issue either way.
Is there a way to correct this?
Use a Rectangle and place the subreport inside of it. Then set the page name of the Rectangle.
I have an old SCADA mimic project for which I must remove objects relating to 100 or so tags. Is there a way of cross-referencing all 100 at once instead of cross-referencing one at a time?
The names do not lend themselves to a single filter such as "REMOVE_ME_TAG_A", "REMOVE_ME_TAG_B" etc. I thought about renaming all these tags however aside from doing this manually I can't think of a way of renaming these tags programmatically. I hoped to use Excel but cannot establish a connection from Excel 2007 (I believe that only Office 2010 and Office 2013 are supported).
I am attempting to recreate a CrossTab report in CrystalReports for VS2012 that was originally done using SSRS / ReportDesigner.
What I cannot figure out how to do is enable expand/collapse interactivity for the groupings at column or row level.
This type of behavior seems to be a fairly standard part of this type of report (other tools I am comparing all seem to have this behavior available).
How / where do I enable this behavior in my report definition in CrystalReports?
As far as I know you cannot do this. Crystal reports provides very limited dynamic features. It is designed with the idea to print the report.
You can emulate similar behavior by placing 2 crosstabs in 2 on demand subreports ( one for expanded, one for collapsed crosstab) However this looks like too much work to me and will require 2 calls to the database. If you already have the report in SSRS why would you convert it to Crystal ?
There are some other options to handle this: Check the first 3 minutes of this video:http://www.r-tag.com/Pages/Preview_Demo.aspx
It demonstrates the same data presented in SSRS matrix, Crystal crosstab and SQL Pivot table. The pivot table will allow your users to have expand/collapse functionality without reporting server available.
Crystal Reports' cross-tab objects don't support expanding or collapsing. Nor do they support drill-down functionality.
I'm exposing an Excel 2013 worksheet in a Sharepoint 2010 page, using a Web Part.
For some reason,
Sharepoint doesn't show floating objects, like text boxes or shapes, that are in my Excel sheet.
I've got several graphs and cells filled with text, which I've collected under a single Named Item that selects the entire relevant sheet area.
These display fine, but text boxes won't , whether they're on top of another chart or on blank cells.
I've also tried simply exposing the whole worksheet without using named items at all, and the problem persists.
Text boxes are a form of OfficeArt and these features are not supported with excel web services.
From MSDN - Excel Services Supported and Unsupported Features
Features that Previously Prevented Excel Files from Loading
In Office SharePoint Server 2007, Excel workbooks that contain unsupported features like VBA macros, form controls, and so on are not loaded in Excel Services.
In SharePoint Server 2010, to help users work with this limitation, Excel Services ignores certain unsupported features. In other words, rather than blocking the entire file from loading Excel Services loads the file but you do not see the features that Excel Services does not support.
Following are features that do not prevent Excel Services from loading a file:
Cell comments.
Formula references to external books.
Query tables (also known as external data ranges).
Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA).
Any OfficeArt technology. For example, Shapes, WordArt, SmartArt, organization chart, diagrams, signature lines, ink annotations, and so on.
Note that these features continue to be unsupported. This means that they do not render, execute, or work in any way as they do on the client. Most of the features in the list do not render in Excel Services.
This was a LONG time ago, but I wanted to share a "potential" solution that I used that worked well
I'm in Excel 2016, and Sharepoint 2013
I created the shape I wanted and got it exactly the way I wanted it.
I selected the Shape, right-click, Cut
Right-click Paste AS PICTURE
Save the file.

I am using SSRS 2008 R2.
I want to generate a protected excel workbook so report users can reference it but cannot accidentally change it.
ALternatively I would accept being able to protect individual columns.
Is there a way to do this?
As far as I know, this is not possible with SSRS 2008 R2. A quick search results in a msdn thread corroborating this.
Alternatives I can think of, some of which a bit "heavy" though:
Use SSIS to fill an existing XLS file that has protection.
Export to XML, followed by custom post-processing using XSLT to transform to Office2007 format.
Write a custom rendering extension to do your own Excel-rendering.
