Hidden extra field in Excel after export from ssrs - reporting-services

There is only 1 table in report. All columns have same size.
SQL Server 2014, Report Builder 3.0
Please any help.

When we see extra fields in the Excel export it is usually because a text box not in the main tablix has an edge that does not align with the fields in the tablix. Make sure that all fields not in the tablix (including header and footer fields) have their edges aligned with a tablix field edge.

It could be that your report contains hidden columns.
Hidden Columns in your report are not removed, only hidden. so they get copied when you export to Excel.
Open the report in report builder and check if there are columns there that are not shown in the report.

SSRS subreport adds blank pages IN BETWEEN the results of the data

I have a report that has a sub-report.
On my main report, the sub-report displays the headers and the data but the data is SPLIT by 2 blank pages when I do a PDF export of it. Everything is fine if I preview the report but when I save it as PDF, there are 2 blank pages in between the sub-report results.
The tablix for the sub-report is set to "keep together" and this has not helped.
I figured this out. If the report is too wide, it'll put that blank space below each page of the report.
The fix was the make sure the width of the report was the right size.

SSRS - row height not increasing after excel import

I have an SSRS report with 5 Tablix data regions. All but first tablix, have "Notes" column which can have huge amounts of text in it. I have set CanGrow properties of these cells to be "True".
But when I export the report to an excel file, row size has not increased to show full contents of Notes. I see that, it works perfectly when I keep only one Tablix. It fails only when I have more than one Tablix.
Any help? Thanks!
When have multiple tablix in your report, after you exporting into excel, it will automatically keep the tablix original position and size to other tablixs. So it may not change the row height. I think this issue is more related to Excel cell setting.

SSRS subreport instead of reportfooter

I am working on a report that has variable coulmns and the report looks fine in preview.
But now I want to add a "Hazardous Notice" like a report footer but via using subreport.
And this Notice will be only having TEXT in it (no columns and rows)
I am able to drag the subreport from the tools beneath my main Matrix, but I am really confused that how can I get only TEXT in that HAZARDOUS NOTICE.. as it asks me to add parameters in it. Do I need to create a Parameter for that or not.. Please Help!!!

SSRS to excel export alignment issue of grouping plus icon

Tablix (table) in SSRS 2012 not allowing CanGrow=false on tablix cells

I am facing a very weird problem while creating a report in SSRS (I am using sql server 2012 enterprise edition).
This is the structure of my report:
Report columns are in Page Header section, not in tablix header. (I
had to remove report columns from tablix header because I needed my
report to freeze it's header or its column after exporting to excel.
This freezing in excel could be done only when columns are in Page
Header)
Tablix has fields with several groupings.
Now what happens, when I run the report and if any field having a larger string value than the size of tablix cell, it grows badly in width. That makes my report looks ugly. Columns in page header are not aligned with their rows in tablix. Tablix goes out of the report actual width .
For getting rid of this problem, I tried making CanGrow=false of every cell in tablix. I then tried deploying the report, but failed. I got an error: "Report definition is invalid".
The problem is, I can't set CanGrow=false to cells in tablix then how would my report remain stable. How would my columns be aligned with the data in tablix.
I just do not want the cells to grow in width that they are doing right now.
Attaching a screen shot of the report I saw when I have a larger value in a cell. This value is a whole word.
Please help me out. Any help appreciated.
