How can I fix excel appearance in cognos ? - excel

I make a report as pdf.It s fine. But when I export it to excel ,there are many sheets on excel . I do not wan to it.I want to 1 sheet.How can I fix this?
Thanks.

Depends on your Cognos version you can use the Excel 2000 single sheet format in Cognos 8.X:
Cognos 8.4.1 Excel Formats
However, I assume you are using Cognos 10.X. In this version this feature is deprecated:
Excel 2000 and Excel 2000 Single Sheet Report Outputs
So, you can use the following options:
1. Export report in CSV or Excel 2007 Data format. This is excellent choice if format is not required.
2. Change your report layout to support single sheet excel: Create all your report objects in one page, remove any page sets definition.
You can use render variable to create separate output for Excel and separate output for other formats.

Creating rtf template with multi spreadsheets(excel)

I have created a data template report(xdodtexe) and the output will be in excel with multiple spread sheets. My E-Business Suite version is r12.1.3 and I am using Office 2013.
I have created an rtf and in two separate pages layouts are there. For example department in page and employees in page. I am using <?spreadsheet-sheet-name: department?> for naming the sheets but the sheet name comes as "fndwrr" and both the outputs are in the same excel sheet without splitting into two different sheets.
I have also used <?split-by-page-break:?> for splitting into two sheets but this also does not work.
Hello there fellow "BI Publisher self-torturer" :-),
First of all, I would suggest you go over this document here, as the best method of manipulating XLS outputs is by using Excel templates.
Second of all - it would have been great if you supply a sample of the xml data + a sample of the template code as you have it.
Btw, the split-by-page-break that you're trying is for other output formats, such as PDF, RTF etc. which follow a paging rule, unlike XLS.
This being said - I am pretty sure you can't do that using an RTF template.
Also, you should mention the version of the XDO Engine/BI Publisher, because Excel templates are available since version 11.1.15 of BI Publisher.
Pay special attention to the following section Table 3-2 Column Entries, as you would need to put the XDO_SHEET_? and XDO_SHEET_NAME_?, the first being the split/group criteria and the second the actual name of the sheet.
Cheers

Getting multiple sheets in same excel output using BIRT reporting tool(opensource version)

I need to get multi tabbed output in the final report output in excel fromat. I'm using birt 4.2.0. Any help????
From what I've gathered, messing around BIRT, only way to get multi sheet (I assume this is what you consider under term multi tabbed output) in excel format, is possible using custom emitters for xls.
For more info, check out these sites:
Replacing default birt emitters
How to create multiple sheets in excel
options = new EXCELRenderOption(outputFormat: "xls")
options.setEmitterID("uk.co.spudsoft.birt.emitters.excel.XlsEmitter" )
This creating 40 record per sheet for me . i think no options except the emitter so please try it , but my problem is how list them in a single sheet all of the records.

Format Excel while exporting through SSRS

Hi I'm working with SSRS reports.
While exporting the results to excel, results are starting from first column it self. But I want to provide some space for that. (i.e. insteated of starting from 1st column can we start it from 3rd or 4th column ? So that we can have some space)
Thank you
If you intend to distribute the Excel version via a subscription and want a separate view on the report Report Manager, then you can create a parameter for the report like Hide_Columns and make the visibility of the column be dependent upon the value of the parameter. If you want the user to run the report in the HTML view and want the extra columns to show up in Excel, then you are out of luck.

Large Excel File From SSRS Sorting

A SSRS 2005 report that is run by multiple users is generating about 45,000+ records and then being exported to Excel. This is working fine, but when the users try to sort/filter the results they are seeing a huge amount of lag. At first I thought that it was just because of the large number of rows, but we found that when we stripped all of the formatting from the Excel file the report sorted and filtered quickly. Is this a common problem any of you have seen and how would you resolve it? They need the formatting to stay on the main report, so if I could somehow export without formatting that would be ideal.
Thanks!
There are only three settings you can set for the ReportViewer excel renderer.
See Excel Device Info
Unfortunately, none of which will omit formatting in your exported report.
The only thing I can suggest is that you strip out all the formatting from the RDLC report file, prior to exporting.

How do I export a reporting services report to excel with embedded calculations in the excel columns?

I'm looking to allow the user to export an reporting service report to Excel. The question I have is how do I specify a formula within Reporting Service which is then present as an Excel column calcualtion on the exported file?
Currently all I can seem to export is end results of the Reporting Services report but I have a need for the user to manipulate a column on the Excel output and see dynamic results. Obviously they could continually add the Excel formulas after each export but I'd rather automate the whole process.
Thanks,
Brian.
Formulas used in ReportViewer are automatically converted when rendering to Excel.
You can also OmitFormulas using DeviceInfo if required, during the rendering process.
