Crystal report export as Excel data-only failed

[former_member186803]

Hi Experts,

I have a few crystal reports which I export to excel data-only format and it works fine. But suddenly I have found that it is not exporting and gives "report failed to export" error message. what I have done new as , I have re installed my crystal software.

I have installed as 'run as administrator' and used 'custom' installation.

The reports are same , there is no change.

what could be the problem, kindly let me know if there is any solution for this.

Hi Suman,

Are you using B1? If yes, CR has a special version for B1. It can't be replaced by a regular CR.

Thanks,

Yes Gordon, I am using the special version of crystal for B1 only.

Thanks

I used to have some problems with exporting crystal reports to excel

2 problems I pinpointed were

1) - Header data was reason for error

solution - suppress header in the layout and try again

2) - Text boxes were reason for error

solution - change text box to a formula box containing text as "text"

Perhaps it could be one of these reasons, or perhaps something else

Thanks

Dear Nagarajan and all,

I am using SAP B1 8.82, PL: 01

Crystal report 2008

These reports were running fine and I could export to excel data-only format, without any issues. But after I re installed it is failed.

Have I missed out anything, I have installed as administrator and selected custom mode.
