This time I want to share my experience when I export the file from crystal report to excel. it turns out is easy and I am sure you would be able to do so. The following is how to export files from cystal report to excel:
- Go to export option in Crystal Reports
- Export it MS Excel (97-2003)
- Once exported open it with MS Excel 2007
- Then in file menu save it as Excel files and will be saved in Excel 2007 with .xlsx extension.
and then, if you find an error with a message like this: “Invalid Export DLL or Export Format”,
do not worry, these problems triggered by Crystal Reports template to connect to Oracle through the Oracle ODBC driver (not the Microsoft Oracle ODBC driver). There is a problem with the DLL “LIBPNG10.DLL”.
solutions that you can use are as follows:
- Use the Microsoft ODBC Driver for Oracle
- Add C: \ Program Files \ Business Objects \ BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0 \ win32_x86 to the environment variables path
- Back up the libpng10.dll in C: \ oracle \ product \ 11.1.0 \ db_1 \ bin and replace it with the libpng10.dll from c: \ program files \ business objects \ BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0 \ win32_x86
- Ensure that the reg key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Business Objects \ Suite 12.0 \ Crystal Reports \ Path has a path value of C: \ Program Files \ Business Objects \ BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0 \ win32_x86
so that is the tips for export and handle errors when exporting data from crystal report to excel. I really hope these tips can help solve your problem. thank you.
