    thanks in advance

  • read the start of this discussion, its explained in one of the first posts.

  • I have two named text boxes within a matrix. I have another text box in the matrix which contains :

    =ReportItems!Name1.Value-ReportItems!Name2.Value

    However, when I export to Excel, the value of the subtraction is put in the Excel spreadsheet, not the Excel equivalent formula.

    Is there a special incantation, apart from using ReportItems, to cause formulae to migrate from Reporting Services to Excel?

  • "When I export a report to excel and my report has sum fields, I would like excel to create the fields into formula fields that I could manipulate the data in excel and the values will ripple thru to the sum fields. "

    Yes this is possible. Your end result will be an Excelreport correct?

    If so you can create the report using VBA code in Excel (remote OLEDB , ADO, SQL to fetch

    the data) You can with VBA dynamically mix data with formulas (sum, filtering).

    You can make the report as a template including VBA code and the user can open the template

    and from a drop down list choose something like a cutomer and then fetch data.

    If you like I can of line provide you with an example.

  • What was your solution to rendering the formula?

    Thanks in advance.

  • "What was your solution to rendering the formula?"

    In my case all formulas are parts of the Excel design

  • Hi, Rivkah Pil.

    Maybe you can have a try of RAQ Report. I believe you can solve your problem with it easily.

    It is a free reporting tool, and you can get it at http://www.raqsoft.com/[/url].

  • I have also considered creating a custom extension for exporting, would you be willing to share your code on this?

    Thanks

  • I just learned a nice little trick while investigating exactly this issue:

    In your SSRS-table add an expression with the formula of your choice like this (char 61 is the equal-sign) ->

    =Chr(61) + "SUM(A2:A5)"

    Then when you export the file to excel, the formula will be rendered as text. To make it in to a formula again just do a "Ctrl+H" (replace), put an = sign in both the search and the replace box, and the click Replace All". And Voila!! All formulas are rendered properly 😀
