How to run a report by default in excel in code? - rdlc

I have tried
ChosenOutputMethod := CustomLayoutReporting.GetExcelOption;
on the report but when I press preview, it doesn't export to excel. I want to achieve so that every time when run, the report is exported in excel document.
I want it to be in the report itself as of report 116 customer statement.
I don't want to use SAVEASEXCEL function

I'm afraid it's possible only using SAVEASEXCEL. Any reason why you don't want to use it?
You can also use the Excel Buffer to create reports in Excel directly.
Cheers

You need to press Print -> Microsoft Excel button.

Empty sheet when using TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP FM

The Function Module 'TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP' opens a new empty excel sheet while uploading the file.
Please give me a solution for this. I do not want the empty excel file to be opened.
Usually I use the FM ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE for Excel-Sheet to internal table conversion. Try it out, it's much easier.

Export Excel Function as a SQL request result

I am facing a weird behavior while exporting an output coming from oracle SQL. I am launching the below query:
select '=sum(1,2)' from dual
Then I right click on the output data and I export it to excel.
I am getting the following result in excel:
The function is presented as a string (the result in the cell is not "3", but rather "=sum(1,2)".
In order to fix this I had to click on the function then click on the Enter button on the keyboard.

Is there a way to force excel to directly understand that the string is a function ?
(I'm assuing you are on SQL Developer here)
There might be other ways, but a little trick I've used in the past is rather tahn Right Click => Export, simply do: Select-All, Copy. Then just Paste into Excel and that seems to preserve the formula definition.

Using the following Macro will fix it. Its a work around to this behavior
for each c in activesheet.usedrange.columns("AD").cells: c.formula=c.formula: next

Automating scripts in q/kdb

I have some codes in kdb+(which uses q) which generates data in tabular form. The problem is I need to run each line separately and export the data to excel. Is there any way to automate this such that all the excel files can ben generated in one go?
Thanks
Whils't you can of course use csv as suggested above, .h.edsn is the function used for creating excel workbooks. It takes a dictionary of sheetNames->tables.
`:/var/tmp/excel.xls 0: .h.edsn `tab1`tab2!(([]10?10);([]20?20))
Then just open the xls file in excel.

Is it possible to pass information from ssrs to excel?

I am trying to pass information from an ssrs report to an excel spreadsheet. What I want to accomplish is clicking a link in an ssrs report that opens up an excel spreadsheet, but also populates a cell in that excel spreadsheet with a value from the ssrs report where it was opened from.
I have achieved opening the excel spreadsheet file from the ssrs report by adding an action to a textbox and using the Go to URL Action
=Fields!True_Path.Value & "\" & Fields!DOCUMENT_ID.Value
However, i want to pass the value of the textbox itself to the excel spread sheet. Is this possible? If so how could one accomplish this task? Any methods / suggestions are welcome!
Yes, you can create a macro enabled workbook and pass the value in a parameter. In your SSRS report, you will use a formula or variable. The format would look like this.
Server\ShareFolder\TheWorkbook.xlsm" /e/myParam
There is a great response to how to pass parameters to excel in the Office Microsoft Forums. You can find it here

Need to Update External References in an Excel Sheet while a Macro is Running

I have an excel macro that sets Cells to an external location.
Range(NamedReference) = "='http://webaddress/ExcelSheet.xlsx'!NamedReference
Other cells use that location to calculate new values.
"A1" = NamedReference + 1
The problem is that I need to read the new calculated values back into the macro to export data, but the external link has not yet been calculated to any value. It is a #NAME? until the macro is done running. Is there any way to force excel to get those values during the macro run time?
I have tried a variety of things including
Calculate
CalculateFull
Any help would be appreciated. My current solution is to just close the macro on error and have the user re run the macro, but it is really kludgey.
**Edit: Forgot equals sign in formula
You could try
ActiveWorkbook.UpdateLink Name:=ActiveWorkbook.LinkSources
