Reporting services matrix control colour in excel - reporting-services

I have just written a report using the Matrix control in SSRS 2005. I have coloured the rows and columns and when I preview the report the colouring is applied. Same with export to pdf.
Only when I view the exported report in Excel do I get a problem.
The report colours are rendered properly other than the Matrix controls. (they are rendered as Grey)
Is there anything I can do solve this?
I am using SSRS2005 and viewing the xls in Excel 2003.

Are you using a colour that is valid in Excel to colur the rows and column?

SSRS 2019 Report Renders but does not export to csv

I am working with SSRS 2019 and VS 2019. We have a number of SSRS reports that render, can export to Excel, and export as a CSV without a problem. However, one report will render, export to Excel, but when exporting to a CSV even though it has data in the report it is empty. I am at a loss for why this would happen. Any suggestions?
This happens whether I Preview this report in Visual Studio or run it thought SSRS.
A way that fixed this for me was I went to the Properties of my Tablix, I set the DataElementOutput from NoOutput to Output. Then it exported to csv just fine.

Access reports, exporting to Word

I have created a Microsoft Access Report, with a number of elements in them. These include labels, controls, lines, boxes, etc. When I export the report to Word, it loses all lines, borders, boxes, etc. Is there a way to keep this in an export? Exporting to PDF is fine, but I need this to work in a Word export.
thanks
Unfortunately, when you export a report to Word / RTF graphical elements like lines, ole objects, and attachment fields are not exported. In order to preserve your line, you would need to export your report to a different format like PDF or XPS.

Exporting issues when ssrs report is connected to different data sources

I have a ssrs report that when connected to one datasource (dev server), it runs correctly and exports to PDF correctly. When I take that same report and connect it to another datasource (test server) and run it, it runs correctly, but when I export to PDF (and this is the same with tiff, word) I am missing some of the header text boxes? But when I export to Excel, I can see the header text boxes.
Any thoughts? Does the report inherit some attributes from the data source it is connected to?
Thanks!

ssrs 2008 export to cell and obtain merge cell error

I have an SSRS 2008 R2 report, where I have users that want to export the reports to excel. They are able to export the reports to excel, and they want to be able to sort the data in excel. However they are getting an error message that says there is a problem due to 'merged cells'. Thus can you tell me what you would do to solve the problem?
The problem of merged cells is due to header cells being different sizes from the tablix cells. Excel tries to align everything like in the report by merging the cells together which causes complications when sorting. What you need to do is strip the headers out when you render in Excel format. There are some strategies to do this. See my answers about how to add a new Excel renderer or how to export to Excel with no headers.

An Access Problem:Access Report color problem

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).
