Excel export without header in RDLC report.

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I have a RDLC report with header. It works fine and export to excel generates excel file with data as well as header. I can not remove the header as it is required in report viewer but while exporting, the header data should not load and excel file should start with table column header not report header.

What I have tried:

I tried to check header properties, If I unchecked the "Print on first page" the header is removed from Report viewer. But I want the header to be removed only while exporting. Any suggestion on this will be helpful. Thanks

If you're using SQL 2008 R2 or later, it's easy to hide elements when the report is exported:
Globals!RenderFormat aka Renderer Dependent Report Layout – Robert Bruckner's Reporting Services & Power View Blog[^]

If you're using 2012 or later, you'll also need to check for a render format of "EXCELOPENXML".

To hide an element when you're exporting to Excel, set its "hidden" property to the expression:

=Globals!RenderFormat.IsInteractive = "EXCEL" Or Globals!RenderFormat.IsInteractive = "EXCELOPENXML"

If you're using SQL 2005 or 2008, there doesn't seem to be a solution.
