Cognos Report Studio: how to export data table attached to chart in excel
I want to export a cognos report out to excel. In my report, there are two tables and two charts. When I export to excel, the charts are rendered as static images. What I want is to export the cognos report with two charts which data sources are from the two tables. Like simple charts in excel, chart data range is selected from the table.
The purpose of doing this, is for me to be able to import the excel charts to Roambi. Roambi needs a chart which data range is from a table.
Thanks a lot.

What Cognos BI version do you have?
In Cognos 10.2 Chart is exported as Chart in Excel 2007. And you can unhide hidden list of data for chart.
But ykud is right - try Active report for mobile users.
Thank you, Alexey Baturin!
I am using cognos 10.2. And I found out that there is chart data in the hidden tabs. Sorry for late reply bcos I didn't see it.
I found out that there is chart data and it's only importing problem in Roambi.
I uploaded to the sharepoint as a data source for Roambi. But I can't import this file sometimes, showing the error "This file has no content. It cannot be imported". This is inconsistent.
I have found out a way to resolve:
I export the cognos report to excel.
Open the excel file, Save and Close. No need to change anything.
And upload to sharepoint.
Then I have no error and can import to Roambi.
I can’t afford any manual intervention like this, for this process.

We have a requirement with ag-grid-angular where we need to show row cell with currency while exporting the grid to excel.
Problem : With ag-grid ExcelStyle, we are getting a browser unresponsive popup, whereas if we don't use ExcelStyle, the export is working seamlessly.
So, we need a solution where we can use ExcelStyle and download a grid as excel which will be seamless and performance oriented.
Can you schedule an export of a table in data studio in an excel or csv format?
I know you can schedule an export in a PDF and you can download table as an excel or csv (or export to a Google Sheet), but can I automate that process? Whether it is a daily download of that table to a Google Sheet or a daily email with an excel attachment.
There is no Data Studio API or feature that supports automatic or programmatic export of Data Studio UI elements, including tables. So this is currently not supported in the product.
I want to export my custom chart as PDF in MicroStrategy. I am using D3.js with MicroStrategy 10.4 to build my own charts but I have a problem with the export.
Is there some code which I probably miss to enable the export function? You can find my JS code at GitHub.
This picture is what I see on MicroStrategy if I am creating a new Dashboard with my personal D3 chart.
But what I get after clicking "Export to PDF" I have this result:
I just see a table. But if I am trying to export one of the standard charts from MicroStrategy it works! So I think the porblem is in my JS code.
Can someone tell me that I am right with my guess or is the export-functionallity just available for the standard charts?
Thanks a lot
Reporting is pretty new to me. I see that VS provides some Reporting controls that provides a wizard to help creating the report. My question is, if I already have stored procedures that generate the report data, what is the difference between presenting it through a reportview or gridview? Is there obvious advantage that reportview control provides that other grid controls don't?
ReportViewer in local mode (RDLC) has a lot of additional functionality
ReportViewer can do multiple tables, graphs and non-table data
ReportViewer can paginate and print data
ReportViewer has capabilities to export the report into Excel, PDF etc.
You can use ReportViewer controls to display reports generated with Sql Server Reporting Services. So if you wanted to have a report that included charts or graphics, you could create it and host it in SSRS and then include it right in your application.
A grid view can only display data in a grid. The report viewer has the capability to format data in much more sophisticated ways.
I am having an issue exporting Crystal Reports into an excel file.
I tried both options of exporting the Excel data AND exporting as an excel file. When i export my Crystal Report as an excel file, i cannot sort any of the fields in my excel file.
When i export the report as just the excel data, when i open in Excel, the headers are really messed up. The first three headers appear at the END of all of the columns--which doesn't make any sense to me.
Does anybody know how to change export options in Visual Studio? I am using Crystal Reports on Visual Studio and have no idea how to change any of these options.
It sounds like your report has not been laid out in an optimal way for Excel export, and it's not Visual Studio or the export options that is the problem here. Depending on your version of Crystal, some tips would be :
1) Make sure all column headers are the same width and left-most position as the data they relate to.
2) Minimize gaps between column headers, and also gaps between detail rows.
Unless you're using earlier than CR8.5, it's likely you can't sort because the export has created lots of merged cells - points 1 and 2 will mitigate this substantially. Basically, if you're exporting to Excel you want your report's data to be laid out as similar to an Excel spreadsheet as possible.
