    Posted: 14 Jun 2007 at 8:58am
I having this weird issue with exporting my .net crreport to excel data only.
 
  In the report I have some muilt line headers.  When I export, the highest muilt line header is placed as 1st column, the secord highest is placed 2nd, and so on.
 
The data is exported in the same column position as on the report.
 
Heres a SS of the report in IE, the export and the report designer view.
 
 
Any ideas on how to get the headers to output correctly?  Thing I dont want to do is create a whole new report just to output to excel.

The problem is that the header is a single multi-line field. Thus, it exports it to a single cell in Excel. Break each line into its own text object so that the export has them broken up as well.

That works, but the text objects above the bottom one do not export out on data only export.

Really? Interesting. In that case can you trick it into thinking those lines are data as well? Maybe create a formula which returns an empty string and concatenate it to the header text. Then it might think that there is data in there and output it. Something along those lines might work.

Hi I came up with one problem while exporting from crystal reports to Excel. Only data got exported and the cells in the excel spreadsheet dissappeared. The excel sheet looks plain with no rows and columns. Can we export the crystal design(grid lines and line objects) along with data to excel? I saw ur post. In that the excel sheet looks fine with cells. Please help me to solve this issue.
Regards,
Yuva

Wow - you're from Antartica. That's pretty cool. 

There is the option in CR XI that when you export to Excel (not using the Data Only option) to also export the grid lines. It won't export line objects though.
