Hi
I would like to open an ssrs report directly in Excel via a link.
I have tried &rs:Format=EXCEL and it doesnt seem to work.
Does anyone have any ideas?

The only way I would of thought to do that, would be to have a subscription which runs the report and exports to excel and saves it on a file share.
Don't think you can get it to open dynamically in excel.

One cannot open SSRS directly in Excel. the only exception is when there is a
subscription
, which generates an Excel spreadsheet and makes this availalbe for opening and use.

You could design the equivalent report in Excel, and connect it to a SQL datasource.
Not sure Excel has all the functionality you'd get from SSRS Report Designer though.

No problem. Just be cautious because you'll lose a lot of the protection from misuse that SSRS can give you!

Yeah ive thought about that
what i have proposed is that i create a spreadsheet that can be downloaded from the intranet and when it is opened it refreshes the data and then any links to the database are removed
i just need a bit of vba in the spreadsheet :)

Please bear in mind that this implies that whoever will open the spreadsheet will require at least datareader privileges on the underlying tables in the database.
