Show Only Data "issue"

Post by brianj774 »

hi,

This would file under a feature request, rather than a bug. While doing a 'technology preview' of the new reporting stuff I've developed with your tool, one of our sales people asked me to show them the export features.

First off, I couldn't find a way to do a CSV export. Is that possible with the Fx version ? What about the other export options that the other platforms have?

We decided to play with Excel exports, and, in particular, she was interested in a 'raw data' export of grouped data. I was unable to get her what she wanted. The Show Only Data option returned an empty (except for column headers, I think) spreadsheet. In this case, we have a 'summary only' option on the report that causes the detail rows to be supressed, leaving only the page and group header/footers.

She would really like it if there were a way to just supress the export of the page header/footer, or something else that would allow a similar behavior.

THanks!
Andrew

Hello,

We are working on it. Export will be ready within a week.

Sorry, can you provide data for your report, which reproduces the issue?

Thank you.

the same report I sent you here : http://forum.stimulsoft.com/Default.asp ... 0383#20267

can be used to see this issue too...when you render the report, make sure the 'summaryOnly' parameter is selected, so you don't see any detail info. Then do the export, and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Thanks

Hello,

The DataOnly option assumes that the data will be exported only from Data Bands. If you also need to export the data from other bands, it is better not to use this option, and prepare a report especially for export (only the desired bands).

Thank you.
