Hidden column visible after rendering

I have a report with at tablix, built using SSRS 2008. I have an expression to hide a column if the column header has a length of 0. When I render the report using the SSRS built in Excel renderer, the hidden column stays hidden and everything displays correctly. When I use the Aspose.cells renderers, either xls or xlsx, the hidden column becomes visible and the data values in one row are missing. I have attached the .rdl file. Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Thanks for considering Aspose and reporting this issue.

Please also test your issue with the latest version https://downloads.aspose.com/cells/reportingservices and let us know your feedback.

Where should I be putting the new dll file? I have updated the dll file in the following path C:\Program Files\Aspose\Aspose.Cells for Reporting Services\Bin\SSRS2008


After putting the new dll in that folder, I re-ran my report and I am still having the same issue. Should I be updating the dll in a different location?

Hi,

Please copy the dll at the following folder:

${SQL Server for Reporting Services} \Reporting
Services\ReportServer\bin

The issues I ran into before were during my development and happened when I rendered my report from within Visual Studio. I have completed my report development and am now running the report from Report Manager. I have run into some new issues rendering the report using the Aspose xls and xlsx file formats. When I export my report as Aspose xls or xlsx the appropriate file is created but when I open it I receive the following

"Excel found unreadable content in ‘CrossTabPermissionMatrix(1).xlsx’. Do you want to recover the contents of this workbook? If you trust the source of this workbook, click Yes"
After clicking yes the file opens I receive another message that says
“Excel was able to open the file by repairing or removing the unreadable content.”

"Removed Records. Merge cells from /xl/worksheets/sheet1.xml part"

When I look at the resulting spreadsheet my first two columns have been deleted from the file starting on row 8, where the actual data of my report begins.

When I render my report using the built in Excel renderer the report renders correctly. This is all being run on my local machine running XP pro and SQL 2008

Any suggestions?

the source of my issue was having an expression on the hidden property of my column group. When I removed that expression and set it to always show, the report renders correctly.

Hi,

Please try the fixed version v1.7.0.59 (attached) for SSRS 2008.

I have applied the new dll and I am no longer receiving errors when I render a report. But, merged cells are being unmerged and that is messing up my report formatting.

Hi,


Could you attach your exported Excel file, also attach the source RDL file here. We will look into it soon.

Thank you.

Hi,

Please let us know how many cells are in your exported excel file.

When cells number are more than default value(1,000,000), merged cells will un-merge.

Please refer follow context to set LimitCellsNumberForMerged value in Aspose.Cells.ReportingServices.xml file.

Hi, We are facing thsi problem as well. W ehave an excel exported using SSRS on which we use Aspose.cells to perform Zoom settings . The collapsed columns in SSRS Export are automatically expanded on proceesing through Aspose.cells.
The expansion happens automatically as soon as the workbook is initialized
Workbook workbook = new Workbook(reportInfo.FullName);

Here are the details from wath where 0.0 width is expanded to a random value of 8.42…

GroupLevel 0 byte
Index 3 int
IsHidden FALSE bool
Style {Aspose.Cells.Style} Aspose.Cells.Style
Width 8.428571429 double
