Empty column on SSRS Excel Extract - reporting-services

How would I get rid of the empty redundant column on the first column (A) of an SSRS excel report extract? please see jpg for details (link below).
I want the table to start at cell A4.
Microsoft SSRS seems to automatically set the table to start at cell B4..?

If you want to start your ssrs Excel export file to start as A1 you need to get rid of everything (header, textboxes, etc..) expect the tablix. Then move your tablix in the report designer to the most left and most top position. If you tablix doenst have merged cells your Excel export should now start at A1 and for every tablix column you will have one Excel column.

Last blank row merging issue in SSRS Report on exporting in Excel format

Here I am using SSRS version Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services Version 12.0.5207.0
Created a simple SSRS report with single table. The Report is having 5 columns and 1 row without any grouping.
When I am exporting it in excel format, I get the last row merging issue. Its random occurrence doesn't know the reason why it is happening.
Please check the snapshot for more details (Red circle). Row no 299 is merged.
#user2269520 this is what I was referring to. Even if you have no header or footer, the divider is still there and if not flush, it sometimes adds a margin to the bottom of the table. It may not be your situation but it is just a thought.
You will get the merging issue when export excel, If any space/gap between tablix and report body,report footer or any controls.

ssrs export to excel tab names on empty tablix

I have a report with multiple tablixes each nestled in separate rectangles I have the page break set and page name assigned in each tablix. The problem appears that if a tablix has no data the excel tab shows the table header but the tab name appears to hold from the prior tab name. For example I get Summary ta, labor tab equipment tab and equipment(2) tab because the table following equipment is empty.
So the report is pretty much a data dump with multiple tablixes that represent different data, for for example safety, quality, etc. The tablixes are inside separate rectangles.
I created separate datasets for each tablix that gets the table name. The table name is a translation for the language that name is to render, English, Spanish, etc.
I created a parameter for each table tab name that now holds the name for the table tab.
I set each tablix pagename to the corresponding parameter.
Now when I export to Excel each tab has the appropriate tab name in the appropriate language.
I had the same issue. Here's what I did to solve it:
Had a check in sql if count of rows is 0 then 'NA' will be the value for all columns; otherwise original values from table.
In SSRS, I am going to hide the text box if it has a value "NA".
You can try to hide the entire row in ssrs if the value is "NA". But its not going to work. Hiding the individual text box will work for sure.
Condition to hide: IIF(Fields!columnname="NA",true,false)
After all these steps if you export to excel it will show the group name you have given.

Can we restrict ssrs from creating extra columns while exporting to excel if they are row grouped

Can we restrict SSRS from creating extra columns while exporting to excel if they are row grouped?
SSRS Report
Output after exporting to excel
I'm assuming the extra columns you're referring to are C and E. Those are created because you have other elements on the report that have edges at those points. For example, if you have a title textbox or other tables on the report. Make sure you align the edges of the cells and textboxes and that won't happen.

SSRS 2008 R2 copy an entire Tablix and paste to same report

I've created a table and want to put exactly the same table right next to it (but with the other dataset's data, i.e. previous years sales).
I would love to just be able to copy and paste the current tablix and then just change the name of the dataset that the tablix uses, but I cannot find a Copy function anywhere.
Does anyone know if it is possible to copy and paste an entire tablix in a report?
Please correct me if I am taking it too simple.
Right Click on the are pointed and you should have a copy button there. Paste it anywhere you feel like, change the dataset name from the tablix properties and make sure the columns in the
second dataset are present in this tablix.
