group:SP2 Beta does not fix Excel visibility problems.
sql server reporting services:
With RS SP1, setting the Hidden attribute of a table, or row, or matrix, or rectangle, etc works as expected when rendered using html, but when rendered to excel, these objects could not be hidden. This seems to be a well known problem. I tried SP2 Beta Version 8.00.902.00 and found that excel rendering has become completely unstable with respect to setting the hidden attribute. My tests have indicated the following: * Pre SP2 Excel would never honor the hidden attribute. Now it sometimes sorta does. * I cant figure out the pattern of what happens when I set tables to hidden using formulas. It works sometimes, and sometimes not. * I set the hidden attribute of a simple rectangle in response to a formula based on a parameter and it seems to work consistantly. For example: <Hidden>=iif(Parameters!Color.value.indexof("green")>=0 ,false,true) * I tried two rectangles, one after the other and put a table in each. If I try to hide the top rectangle, and show the bottom one it works. If I try to show the top one, and hide the bottom one, then space is taken up for the top table, and some(!?) of its grid lines are displayed, but no data, and the bottom rectangle/table is not displayed. yikes. Now I've just got to figure out how to uninstall the beta...I wonder if I can just rerun sp1, or maybe just replace the excelrendering dlls with the ones from sp1... Cheers, Jeff
I believe we have fixed these issues for the final release of SP2. At least,
I hope so. -- Brian Welcker Group Program Manager Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Cool. Thanks Brian, I look forward to giving it a try. (Any guesses on
release date?) -Jeff [quoted text, click to view] "Brian Welcker" wrote:

Brian,
I am having problems with columns that are hidden in excel rendering with SP2. The release of SP1 says that show/hide propogates to the outlining feature of excel when rendering a report to excel. I can get it to work for rows but it will not work for columns. I have tried every variation of hiding and it doesn't work. Is this an issue still? Seems to be.
