Crystal Report To Excel Problem

I have a .net application that uses Crystal Reports to display
reports. When a report is exported to Excel the number fields are
transposed to text in Excel requiring the users to format any number
columns.

Any idea on how I can get the report to retain it's datatype when
exporting to Excel?

Thanks
Mike

Hi Mike,

Instead of exporting the data from the Crystal Report - try exporting
the data to Excel directly from the datasource of your report.

Here is a sample that used a webdatagrid to export directly to Excel

Hello all, I have created an ASP.NET website that uses Crystal Reports that works on the localhost (my PC), but when I copy it to the server it does not. The problem is ExcelUseConstantColumnWidth = False. On my PC when exporting a report, it works - columns are varible width to fit the field, from the server it does not - I get constant width columns. I suspect it is a DLL issue, but so far all my comparisons are coming out the same.

Dear All, I am working on the formatting of a Crystal Report, I'd noticed that setting BottomLineStyle, and other xxxLineStyle can only be shown when user export the report into PDF format, other than that, displaying such crystal report on ASP.Net 2.0 pages will not show the lines. Because I use CrystalReportViewer control to call the report, I had turn off property, still can't show the BottomLineStyle. Is this a limitation of...

Hi, Just wondering what a good book is on visual studios 2008 ( or 2005 if no 2008 ) that teaches you how to properly use crystal reports with it. Or im assuming that as long as I can create a dataset and link it to a reportviewer than any Crystal Report book will do. I use vb.net but im assuming most books would show you vb and c

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
