Error during Export To Excel - Matrix Report

Hi All,

I have created a Report using Sql Server 2005 Reporting Services. It's a matrix report. When I try to download the report to excel, it gives me the message "

Data Regions within table/matrix cells are ignored.

" in the top left hand side header.

Any pointers on how to resolve it.

Thanks,

S Suresh

This is a limitation of the Excel Renderer. It's not so much an error message as just information about why your data is missing. The Renderer cannot render data regions (list, table, matrix, subreport) nested inside other data regions (subreports inside lists are an exception to this rule). Instead of just displaying a blank cell, it puts the message you have seen in.

You will need to redesign your report if Excel is your desired output format for this report.

Geoff,

In your last statement in this thread,

"The Renderer cannot render data regions (list, table, matrix, subreport) nested inside other data regions (subreports inside lists are an exception to this rule)".

I dont understang this statement,currently i am facing with this type of issue only. I have a matrix ,in the data cell of the matrix ,i placed a list and placed a subreport inside it(SubReport has only one small table which acceopts a parameter from value in the column header).

Will it work for me as you said some thing "Execption" or Do i need to search for another alternative?

your suggestions are most valuable

Thank you,

|||i have a matrix report that has 3 column groupings. Daily Date range across the top(Ex. 11/24,11/25, etc). The column groupings are numbers for WeekToDate, MonthToDate,ProjectToDate. So dates go across the top, then subtotals are grouped based up on the above 3 groups. Problem is when it switches from Nov to Dec 12/1 is missing and looks like it is moved to the end of the report right before the ProjectToDate subtotal. This 'problem' happens when exporting from Report Manager. Export from VS is fine.

Connection to SQL server files (*.mdf) require SQL express 2005 to function properly. please verify the installation of the component or download fromhttp://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=49251

I AM GOING TO RIP MY HAIR OUT WITH THIS PROBLEM. I have reinstalled both sql server express 2005 and VWD about 5 times with the same problem. please, please, please someone throw me a bone here and help me resolve this problem.

When I create a new EMPTY website and I rightclick on my website in the solution explorer and choose add item, I chooe SQL Database, I give it a name 'database.mdf' and click add. I get the following message:

you are attempting to add a database to an asp.net application. for a database to be gfenerally consumable in your site, it should be placed inside the 'app_data' folder. would you like to place the database inside the 'app_data' folder? I click YES (I know this message is normal)

then I get the following message:

Connection to SQL server files (*.mdf) require SQL express 2005 to function properly. please verify the installation of the component or download fromhttp://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=49251

I can add anything else but this damn mdf file.

thanks for all your help in advance.

FYI to anyone who has had this problem and cannot find a resolution. I have found the solution in a another forum:

Thanks Jeffrey, the problem turned out to be a problem in Visual Studio
with an incorrect setting.

What I did was go into Tools, Options, Database Tools, Data Connections.

UnderSQLServer Instance Name (blank for default) i had the following
in there: MyComputerName\SQLEXPRESS

I changed it to the following: SQLEXPRESS

I also tested it just leaving it blank and working too.

Of course I would love to say a favorite end user quote "I never changed
it", but I'm too geeky to know that.

Happy Coding!

Brian Piesik
