SSRS 2008 Report History not using changed RDL template

    Hello,

    We have migrated our application and reports from SQL 2005 to SQL 2008 R2. After testing, we found that Excel format of the report in both SSRS 2005 & SSRS 2008 R2 is different.

    We have fixed this in the RDL file and uploaded that file in SSRS 2008. So, from that day/time onwards the format is correct. But when we download the history reports from SSRS 2008, they are still showing report in older format.

    Is there any way we can point history reports to refer latest RDL file so that older reports would appear in proper format.

    Thanks,

    Snapshots save both the data and the format of the report. I don't believe there is any way to associate a new format with an existing snapshot. If you are really brave you might be able to edit the report format directly in the catalog but I don't think anyone would recommend that and Microsoft wouldn't support it.
