Thank you

It is my understanding that the sub reports do NOT export to excel. I re-wrote many reports when I had to provide that functionality.

I realize this dosn't directly answer your question but rather than spend hours addressing the problem, you could re-do the report and get the result you want.

Exporting report (with graph subreport) to PDF

Hi All,
This is my first reporting services post (as I am pretty new to
working with this new technology), so if I am unclear on anything or
ignorant on anything please forgive me!
Current Situation:
--
I am exporting a report to PDF (in a Windows service). The parent
report is exporting correctly, but a subreport is erroring out. This
subreport is simply a graph at the bottom of the report, so it is
pretty crucial to the report that it is shown. The method I am using
to export this report is LocalReport.Render.
Things to keep in mind:
--
I am developing this service in VS 2005 in c#.
Is this even possible?Have you applied SQL Server 2005 SP2 to your development machine?
If not try this since applying that will also update the ReportViewer
control and the rest of the client components as well.

Export to Excel -multiple sheets

Hi,

I am using .rdlc report in ASP.NET 2.0.

My report consists of 10 subreport and 1 main report. I want to export each subreport in separate sheets like Shee1 is Subreport1 and Sheet2 is Subreport2 etc... How can i do this.

Thanks.

The Excel renderer creates new worksheet tabs for each page in your report. To get a new page for each Subreport, put each of them inside a Rectangle and set PageBreakAtStart on the Rectangle to True.

I haven't been able to get the sub reports to show when exported to excel. Is there a trick to this?

This works for me. However, what does not work, is using a subreport in a cell of a table and export that to Excel.

"This works for me. However, what does not work, is using a subreport in a cell of a table and export that to Excel."

As a solution for this problem, we can have a rectangle within the table and place the subreport inside it, it allows to export. There is again few limitaions further but at least we can export the data of the subreport. Hope this helps.

Export to Excel failed with ReportItems and sub report

Hi,

I have two RDL files, one is main.rdl, the other one is sub.rdl.

In the body of main.rdl, I threw in a subreport that links to sub.rdl. Follow by the subreport is a table, in which has a textbox called mytitle. In the page footer, I added one text box that references to mytitle by using ReportItems!mytitle.Value.

When this report rendered in HTML or PDF format, it worked fine. However, when exporting to excel format, it failed. I figured it is because there isn't a ReportItem in the subreport called mytitle. I tried adding a dummy textbox into the subreport and called it mytitle, but again, no luck.

Did anyone ever encounter the same problem? Is there a work around way?

Thanks,

How did the export fail? Did the report not export at all, or it was part of the report that didn't work? What error did you get? The excel renderer doesn't support nested tables/matrics. Did you have some complex in the subreport?|||

I've done more testing on the problem. I didn't use nested tables/matrics in main and sub reports. In my sub report, it has two tables, not nested, one follows the other.

The report was not exporting at all. It gave me an error when I tried to export to Excel in VS.NET 2005. The error message was:

An error occurred during local report processing.

An error occurred during rendering of the report.

An error occurred during rendering of the report

An unexpected error occurred in Report Processing.

The expression referenced a non-existing reportitem in the reportitems collection.

|||This sounds like a problem in our code. Can you attach your RDL please?|||

|||This was working without SP1 and is now broken after installing SP1.|||

i have vs studio 2k5 sp1 installed and i am getting this error. I have office 2003 installed. Is there still a bug ticket out for this? For now what I do is wait until the report is loaded then delete Excel from the dropdown list so it can't be accessed ( so the user can't generate this error, but it would nice to be working.)

Here is the code to remove Excel from the drop down list ...

Code Snippet

Dim dropExport As DropDownList = ReportViewer1.Controls(1).Controls(5).Controls(0)

dropExport.SelectedValue = "EXCEL"

dropExport.Items.RemoveAt(dropExport.SelectedIndex)

And here is the stack trace of the error when I click Export while Excel is selected:

Code Snippet

[Exception: The expression referenced a non-existing reportitem in the reportitems collection.]

[Exception: An unexpected error occurred in Report Processing.]

I have exactly the same error here. I have a list on the report body(to avoid the excel sub-reports rendering problem, I have to use list instead of table). There is a textbox and some other sub-reports on the list. A textbox in the header reference the list textbox.

The report looks ok for the screen view, but when I try the "Excel" export, I got the "The expression referenced a non-existing reportitem in the reportitems collection. " error. If I remove all sub-reports, it works fine.

My SQL server installed SP2. Below is the version message for the sql server [ Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1406.00 (Intel X86) Mar 3 2007 18:40:02 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Developer Edition on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 2) ]. Appreciate any help!

(I'm using VS2005 with SP1, and reportviewer control with asp.net)

Could any body give any help?

Thanks!

Export to Excel failed with ReportItems and sub report

Hi,

I have two RDL files, one is main.rdl, the other one is sub.rdl.

In the body of main.rdl, I threw in a subreport that links to sub.rdl. Follow by the subreport is a table, in which has a textbox called mytitle. In the page footer, I added one text box that references to mytitle by using ReportItems!mytitle.Value.

When this report rendered in HTML or PDF format, it worked fine. However, when exporting to excel format, it failed. I figured it is because there isn't a ReportItem in the subreport called mytitle. I tried adding a dummy textbox into the subreport and called it mytitle, but again, no luck.

Did anyone ever encounter the same problem? Is there a work around way?

Thanks,

How did the export fail? Did the report not export at all, or it was part of the report that didn't work? What error did you get? The excel renderer doesn't support nested tables/matrics. Did you have some complex in the subreport?|||

I've done more testing on the problem. I didn't use nested tables/matrics in main and sub reports. In my sub report, it has two tables, not nested, one follows the other.

The report was not exporting at all. It gave me an error when I tried to export to Excel in VS.NET 2005. The error message was:

An error occurred during local report processing.

An error occurred during rendering of the report.

An error occurred during rendering of the report

An unexpected error occurred in Report Processing.

The expression referenced a non-existing reportitem in the reportitems collection.

|||This sounds like a problem in our code. Can you attach your RDL please?|||

|||This was working without SP1 and is now broken after installing SP1.|||

i have vs studio 2k5 sp1 installed and i am getting this error. I have office 2003 installed. Is there still a bug ticket out for this? For now what I do is wait until the report is loaded then delete Excel from the dropdown list so it can't be accessed ( so the user can't generate this error, but it would nice to be working.)

Here is the code to remove Excel from the drop down list ...

Code Snippet

Dim dropExport As DropDownList = ReportViewer1.Controls(1).Controls(5).Controls(0)

dropExport.SelectedValue = "EXCEL"

dropExport.Items.RemoveAt(dropExport.SelectedIndex)

And here is the stack trace of the error when I click Export while Excel is selected:

Code Snippet

[Exception: The expression referenced a non-existing reportitem in the reportitems collection.]

I have exactly the same error here. I have a list on the report body(to avoid the excel sub-reports rendering problem, I have to use list instead of table). There is a textbox and some other sub-reports on the list. A textbox in the header reference the list textbox.

The report looks ok for the screen view, but when I try the "Excel" export, I got the "The expression referenced a non-existing reportitem in the reportitems collection. " error. If I remove all sub-reports, it works fine.

My SQL server installed SP2. Below is the version message for the sql server [ Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1406.00 (Intel X86) Mar 3 2007 18:40:02 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Developer Edition on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 2) ]. Appreciate any help!

(I'm using VS2005 with SP1, and reportviewer control with asp.net)

Could any body give any help?

Thanks!

Export to Excel failed with ReportItems and sub report

Hi,

I have two RDL files, one is main.rdl, the other one is sub.rdl.

In the body of main.rdl, I threw in a subreport that links to sub.rdl. Follow by the subreport is a table, in which has a textbox called mytitle. In the page footer, I added one text box that references to mytitle by using ReportItems!mytitle.Value.

When this report rendered in HTML or PDF format, it worked fine. However, when exporting to excel format, it failed. I figured it is because there isn't a ReportItem in the subreport called mytitle. I tried adding a dummy textbox into the subreport and called it mytitle, but again, no luck.

Did anyone ever encounter the same problem? Is there a work around way?

Thanks,

How did the export fail? Did the report not export at all, or it was part of the report that didn't work? What error did you get? The excel renderer doesn't support nested tables/matrics. Did you have some complex in the subreport?|||

I've done more testing on the problem. I didn't use nested tables/matrics in main and sub reports. In my sub report, it has two tables, not nested, one follows the other.

The report was not exporting at all. It gave me an error when I tried to export to Excel in VS.NET 2005. The error message was:

An error occurred during local report processing.

An error occurred during rendering of the report.

An error occurred during rendering of the report

An unexpected error occurred in Report Processing.

The expression referenced a non-existing reportitem in the reportitems collection.

|||This sounds like a problem in our code. Can you attach your RDL please?|||

|||This was working without SP1 and is now broken after installing SP1.|||

i have vs studio 2k5 sp1 installed and i am getting this error. I have office 2003 installed. Is there still a bug ticket out for this? For now what I do is wait until the report is loaded then delete Excel from the dropdown list so it can't be accessed ( so the user can't generate this error, but it would nice to be working.)

Here is the code to remove Excel from the drop down list ...

Code Snippet

Dim dropExport As DropDownList = ReportViewer1.Controls(1).Controls(5).Controls(0)

dropExport.SelectedValue = "EXCEL"

dropExport.Items.RemoveAt(dropExport.SelectedIndex)

And here is the stack trace of the error when I click Export while Excel is selected:

[Exception: The expression referenced a non-existing reportitem in the reportitems collection.]

I have exactly the same error here. I have a list on the report body(to avoid the excel sub-reports rendering problem, I have to use list instead of table). There is a textbox and some other sub-reports on the list. A textbox in the header reference the list textbox.

The report looks ok for the screen view, but when I try the "Excel" export, I got the "The expression referenced a non-existing reportitem in the reportitems collection. " error. If I remove all sub-reports, it works fine.

My SQL server installed SP2. Below is the version message for the sql server [ Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1406.00 (Intel X86) Mar 3 2007 18:40:02 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Developer Edition on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 2) ]. Appreciate any help!

(I'm using VS2005 with SP1, and reportviewer control with asp.net)

Could any body give any help?

Thanks!
