The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Export to Excel from Reporting Services

Asked by lina06 in SQL Reporting, SQL Server 2005, Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet Software

Tags: excel, export, reporting, services

I am using Reporting Services 2005 and SQL Server 2000.  I placed a reportviewer control on my ASP2.0 webpage to display a report.
 
When I tried to export my report to an Excel file, I get a lot of extra columns.  I cannot sort the result in an Excel file because of the header displayed on the report.  I tried to move header in the special table located in the body section of the report.  That got rid of the extra columns; however, I cannot sort selected columns because it includes a cell from this table-header.   A client DOES NOT WANT to select some section of the report and perform sorting, so sorting is performed for all data rows in the report by selecting one or more columns.   The same client also DOES NOT WANT to place header information in the footer section.
 
1.) Is it possible to exclude the header of the report when exporting it to Excel.  For some reason, when I export my report to Excel file I cannot see the footer section of the report.  Can I hide the header section of the report when it is displayed in an Excel file?  
 
2.) If I cannot implement the option #1, how to implement this option:
If the report is complex, you might want to consider a separate version designed for Excel. You could place your own 'psuedo' button on the proper report, the button will run the Excel version and automatically render it to Excel via URL access.
