SQL 2012 subscription exporting excel 2003 instead of xlsx

  • Hi,

    I have a subscription created on SQL 2012 and the export in excel is saving the reports in Excel 2003 version rather than Excel 2007/xlsx.

    Can you please help me where to change the settings.

    Regards,

    Ankit

    What did you select for render format?

  • Is there no Excel 2007-2010 option?

  • Are you sure you are using SSRS 2012?

    According to this article, you'd have to explicitly enable Excel 2003.

  • Thanks K,

    I hope the solution is :-

    Use the Excel renderer (xls) by changing the value of Visible to true, in the following line in the RSReportServer.config file.

    <Extension Name="EXCEL" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.ExcelRenderer.ExcelRenderer,Microsoft.ReportingServices.ExcelRendering" Visible="true"/>

  • You'll need that rendering option if you want to export to Excel 2003. Is that what you want?

  • Either use RenderFormat = ExcelOpenXML

    or Excel in ReportServices.config file add Visible = "false"
