Hi,

I have two issues on which I'm looking for some help.

1 ) I have scheduled a report using subscription. It is mailed to me as an excel attachment at a specific time. But This Excel sheet has "Blanks". How do I modify the query so that it shows NULL instead of Blanks in the report.

2) In the same report which i get in Excel, All the columns are expanded according to the content. How do i make the changes in the query / design so that Both Height and Width of Cells are fixed? I see that the width is fixed but only the height expands according to the content.

I'd appreciate if someone can help.. Pleaseeeeeee.

1.you need to replace null values with string "NULL" in your report else it will render it as blanks
2.Set autogrow property of cell to false

1. In expression for the data you will be having "=Fields!dsname.value" instead of this set the expression as:
=IIf(IsNothing(Fields!dsname.value),"NULL",Fields!dsname.value)
This will make sure that for null value you have "NULL" written into the textbox.

You need to do this for all the textbox where you are expecting null values and you want to see "NULL".

2. Set text box property > layout > CanGrow = True

Cheers !!

Thank you much Vipul. I'll check these options. I was wondering, instead of changing the expresiion for each field, is it possible to chnage in the query itself?

Well, I figured out the query part. Thaks vipul.

I have one more question. How do I schedule multiple reports? I mean multiple reports should go in one mail (preferrably zipped / compressed). Is that possible?
