Hi All
I have a very simple report that is grouped on a particular field. I have
also set the "Page Break at end property" set to true for this group. I wish
to set up a subscription that will email this report as an excel attachment.
The excel export shows the records of each group in a separate sheet -
Exactly the way I need. What I also want is that the tabs of each sheet
should show the group field name as its name instead of sheet1, sheet2
etc....
Is there any way to achieve this ?
ThanksSorry, there is no property in the RDL that would allow you to achieve
customizing the sheet names.
It is under consideration for inclusion in a future release.

Can it be moved off the consideration list onto the must do list?
Providing the functionality to output to multiple sheets without the ability
to dynamically name those sheets makes multiple sheets pretty pointless.
I have one report that generates an Excel file for state managers. The file
contains a seperate sheet for each consultant in their state. As I can't
name the sheets from RS all they see is Sheet1, Sheet2, etc...
One of these files has over 200 sheets and the generic naming is a major
pain in the butt. Due to this problem most of the managers won't sign-off on
the costs for developing/deploying RS at our site.
Thanks

sheet of the excel file and clicking on each title takes you to the correct
sheet.

Services would've been the easiest solution if we had control on the
sheetnames.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this is included in the SP2 that's going
to be realeased soon (mid-April last I read). I cannot see the funcitonal
enhancements list because it is in the beta site which I don't have access
to.
