I'm working on a report, using SSRS, that i want to export to multiple formats (excel, pdf, csv...)
When i'm trying to export to csv format, after the data values, it's including html code
why? can I override this behaviour with any change on the config file?
(my report includes only a table)
tks
This not possible out of the box with SSRS. The HTML renderer is a visual renderer, and the CSV renderer is designed to export just the data. There's no way to get them to mix.
You would have to create a custom rendering extension to accomplish this goal.

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.
I'd like to create reports in Access, but I want to use a PDF file I've designed in Illustrator. Can I somehow import this into the Report design view in Access, and then place my data fields in the appropriate locations over my PDF?
No. I think the closest you'd get would be to convert the "background stuff" in the PDF document to an image file and then use that as the background image for the Access report.
I've generated a table using play's #{list} tag and get pretty decent results. Now I need to be able to generate and download an xls version of the table and have no idea what to do. Any pointers at all will be much appreciated
Well you have various options.
Excel will open HTML files. So instead of rendering your table as HTML you can it to stream it to the browser and set the content type as XLS.
While Excel will open it this it will still be an HTML file rather than an XLS(X) document.
You can generate as CSV from your data model and stream this to the browser. Again this will be a CSV rather than a proper XLS(X) document.
There also seem to be some solutions around which can do it using Javscript. See as a starting point: Generate excel sheet from html tables using jquery
Finally you can can use something like Apache POI or JXLS to generate a 'proper' xls(x) document and stream this to the browser. I have some code here that will export HTML to 'proper' xlsx file if this is the route you wish to go. Workflow is then to create some HTML from your data model and use this to convert to Excel rather than having to programmatically build the Excel document using POI. https://github.com/alanhay/html-exporter
I try to export excel file with some format like:
Interior.Color
HorizontalAlignment
Font.Bold
and etc..
So the question is, can we do like that is SSIS..
and how to do it?
Not natively no.
If you always have the same output format you could create a formatted template spreadsheet, then make a copy of that to fill with data. I have seen this done before, the formulas and formatting were in the template, the SSIS job copied the template, then populated the copy.
SSIS is primarily a tool for moving data. Although it may be possible to write a script task or a custom component to do what you want, a better way would be to use a tool that is designed for presentation of data (a reporting tool, for example: SSRS) to do what you are trying to do.
I've created a bunch of views in a database and I'd like to export them to pdf. However phpmyadmin lets me only put a title on each page and it's very limited to how i can layout the output.
does anybody have some recommendations of software/scripts they used?
tcpdf is a PHP class for generating pdf documents. They have many example scripts.
There are a fantastillion ways to do this, some ideas:
export csv, import it to your favorite spreadsheet editor, format it, get the pdf using a pdf printer.
export xml, process it using xsl-fo to produce the output you want ( hacking required, fun )
export html ( should work? ), put a css on top optimized for print layout, pdf-printer.
Usually, I write up a script to pull info from a database, then generate a .csv, attach it to an email and send it on its way. Most scripts with support for mySQL can do that and they also go as far as generate a .pdf file with the appropriate formatting (in my case, I use Ruby, so I could have used Prawn to generate a PDF - I just choose not to as of this time).
