I'm fairly new to SSRS reports and I'm hoping that there's a simple solution to my problem that I haven't spotted yet...
I have a simple SSRS report that receives a couple of user entered parameters at run time. The DB is queried using these parameters and the results are displayed to the screen in a simple table. Is it possible to have the output automatically written to a csv file as well as to the screen?
I realise that there's the option of the user creating the csv themselves by using the 'export' button when the report has been rendered but I'm trying to avoid that.
What I'm hoping to achieve is to have a report where the user types in their parameter values, clicks 'view report' and can then see their results and create a csv of the output at the same time.
Is this possible?

I am using Data driven subscription to send report in Email body and as an excel attachment.
In email,I am seeing the report as Body,but report as excel attachment is missing.
The requirement is I need report to be send as an attachment and in Body in one email.How can I achieve this using Data driven subscription.
I have created table with two rows and format like 'excel' and 'mhtml' and referring the column 'REPORTFORMAT' to Render format.
Please let me know how can i send both in one email
You cannot do it automatically - Include Report determines whether the report is included as either an embedded report or attachment but cannot do both.
Include Report: Select this option to embed or attach a copy of the report. The format of the report is determined by the rendering format you select.
MS Docs: Create Subscription
You current process with two rows should be creating two reports - one with an attachment and one with it embedded.
You could add the data in the report body in the Comment field but the data would need to be converted in to an HTML table.
You need to use the string "EXCELOPENXML" as the rendering format, then it will work. It used to work with the string "Excel" only but now it no longer works like that. With Word you also need to use the string "WORDOPENXML". You will then get the reports as attachment files, as per your requirement.

We have an E-Training Site for work. The system administrator needs to print out the results for each course. What he does now is clicks on each individual course, and then clicks on the export to csv option. However, he has 100 or more courses. Is there a way to automatically get the reports into csv format without him having to click on each course? Right now it's taking him about an hour and a half just to get the csv reports. The E-Training runs on Moodle, if that helps.
I understand it is possible to export the report data into multiple file types using the export button. however i'm wanting to access the information without having to manually export. So my question is, is it possible using a batch file or powershell to read a text box on the report and output it say into a notepad file or spreadsheet. or if not maybe just a way to export all of the data on the report without having to manually do it? Screenshot attached for an example.
One option is to create a subscription for the report and either have an attachment emailed to you or have it saved to a network location. In either case, there are several export options (csv, excel, xml, etc.). If you're only wanting partial data from the report, I'd recommend creating a sql query or just create a new report that gets you exactly what you need.
Using SSRS for SS 2008, is there a way to force the report to download rather than render? I have a report that has thousands of rows - rather than waste resources returning the resultset to the front end, I would rather just force the user to download a CSV or XLS file.
This is not a subscription-based report - rather, it is adhoc via a "click".
I think exporting using url might be your solution. Try the following :
http://localhost/ReportServer/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?%2fSample+Report+Solution+R+and+D%2fGroupWise+Report&rs:Format=CSV
I have created a Access Report ,after that i export it to excel format.But while exporting it to the excel it lost his color and it shows like deemed. what i do?
When you export a report to Excel or Word, isn't possible garantee that you will retain all formating specs. Why do you want a report in Excel (specially with all formats)? Is inferred that if you have a report, this should be the final output. If you want some post-processing tasks after you generate a report, you should do this directly in report or exporting just the records to Excel and then formating (for example through a macro).
