I am working a report in SSRS. that has two sections one is graph and other is Table.
client should able to see both Graph and table on reporting manager but when exported only the table should get exported to excel. Please let me know how to achieve this.Please find the below screenshot. enter image description here
You can set the Hidden property of anything you want to hide to an expression. If you base this on the renderformat you can hide things depending on what format you export in.
This was introduced in 2008R2 so I'm assuming you are not using an earlier version.
Set the 'Hidden' property of the chart or it's container to
=NOT(Globals!RenderFormat.IsInteracive)
This should hide the chart when it's redndered to any other format.

For the chart, you set the Hidden expression to not show if the format is Excel.
=IIF(Globals!RenderFormat.Name = "EXCELOPENXML", False, True)

i have one problem with exporting to CSV format. In my report i user parameter to hide on field and it's working ok except for exporting in CSV format.
Column visibility is see like this:
=IIF(Parameters!ShowBonusLockingData.Value="False",true,false)
but this doesn't work in CSV. Can someone help me with this problem. Setting column property to NoOutput is not a solution, because that property never shows the column then
So I'm trying to export my SSRS to .CSV. The layout of my report is like this:
Everything does work fine, on my VS. However, when comes the time to generate it I get this:
I've read a few other post on Stack Overflow about how I can change my SSRS config for noheaders and ASCII. Thing is, people tried to set column names programatically, but here I only have expressions for cell contents and a current layout. Is there a way to make my CSV lay out look like my reportbuilder layout? Or is my problem the same as when people try to set the column programatically
For each data field you want to export set the DataElementName to match the field title and set the value to the DataElementOutput to output the field.
For the header textboxes set the DataElementOutput to NoOutput.

I want to hide one field in SSRS when I export the report. I know that if I put NoOutput property it will work but I have one more expression that I want to put for field visibility. I have this expression for my visibility and works fine for Excel, PDF,...
=IIf(Parameters!Limited.Value=false,false,true)
But when I export to CSV this doesn't work.
How can I improve this so that it also works for CSV?
You have to remember that there are 2 types of exports in SSRS:
Data export - CSV and XML
Image based export - Word, PDF, Excel, TIFF, printing
The visibility property will only be read when you export to an image based export, and the data output property will only be read when using a data export.
If you can live with having the column there with the data being blank, then use Aldrin's method. If you want the column to not be there when exported and the columns you don't want to export is known in advanced, you're can use d b's way which is have 2 different tables, 1 for display but all the data is no output, the other output only for data export and visibility hidden.
If you need to do "No Output" dynamically, then that is pretty much impossible as a limitation of SSRS.
Put this script under Visibility property.
=IIF(Globals!RenderFormat.Name = "CSV", True, False)
or Just this
=Globals!RenderFormat.Name = "CSV"
It is not possible to conditionally hide a field for CSV output in SSRS.
But if it is very important to you, you can go through the trouble of creating 2 (or more) nearly-identical tables and show/hide the entire tables conditionally.
The contents of hidden tables (as opposed to rows and cells) do not get exported to CSV.
=IIF(Globals!RenderFormat.Name = "CSV", True, False)
This doesn't work.
The only option is to create as many reports with the different column combinations then load the correct one dynamically.
I am using SSRS 2012, and Excel 2010, I want to hide a column when Exporting to Excel, after looking through some of the forums it seems the best way to do this is by going to the Column or Text box of what you are looking to hide and under the Visibility/Hidden option set the Expression to be :
=IIF(Globals!RenderFormat.Name = "EXCEL",true,false)
I have tried this and for some reason it doesn't work, however if I reverse the options of true and false I can get it to hide the column in SSRS but it also hides this in Excel. Could this be an issue because of the version of Excel I am using?
In SSRS 2012 the XLSX export format was introduced, which uses a different renderer than XLS exports.
So I wonder if this is causing the issue. Modify the visibility statement to consider both export formats, something like:
=IIF(Globals!RenderFormat.Name = "EXCEL" or Globals!RenderFormat.Name = "EXCELOPENXML"
,true
,false)
This seems like a good first test.
Because you are returning a boolean you do not need the IIF:
=Globals!RenderFormat.Name = "EXCEL" or Globals!RenderFormat.Name = "EXCELOPENXML"
or this is also valid:
=InStr(Globals!RenderFormat.Name,"EXCEL") > 0
I have a simple table based report in SSRS 2008, There are 10 columns and each column has a corresponding parameter to determine whether the column should be shown. I achieve this by setting the Column Visibility option you get when right clicking on the column header in design mode. In my case I choose to 'Show or Hide based on an expression' to which I set the expression to the value of a parameter which is a boolean type.
The functionality works as expected during the initial render however when I choose to export the report to CSV the visibility expression is either ignored or not evaluated because the columns show up regardless of the setting.
The visibility dialog has three options, Show/Hide/Show Or Hide based on expression - If I explicitly set Hide option the CSV export does not include the column as you would expect however if I use an expression it will - I even went so far as to make the expression explicit like '=True' and still it was ignored.
How do I get the export option to evaluate this properly?
Here's a solution by KarenH in the article Hide/Show Items Dependant On Export Format
Basically, you can set the DataElementOutput = NoOutput on the control you want to hide.
This worked for me to hide tables when exporting to CSV.
You cannot hide or omit columns for the export, using expressions. This is because the expressions will only get evaluated in the report itself, not the export.
a workaround would be to hide the columns by default and show all others using the expression.
my apologies, that above statement made no sense. It seems what you will have to do is make a parameter that will show which columns to hide or display, then when the report runs just don't display any data in those columns. You can also change the value of the column heading based on these parameters.
The only other option is to create as many reports with the different column combinations then load the correct one dynamically.
I believe this may be a bug. I have used the Reporting Services export with hidden columns dependant on a parameter at runtime. If I run the report with the columns hidden and then export the result to Excel or PDF or most exports formats the hidden columns are NOT exported. If I export the report to a CSV file, the hidden columns ARE exported. Surely this is a bug in the CSV export.
Logically they should all behave in the same way.
