Hi, I have a report with simple calculations (adds some fields). The report is requested in excel format via Reporting Services WebService. I would like to have the generated excel file to have the formulas, not just the results. I tried to put the formula text in report definition, but it does't work, it appears in excel as text, not as formula. How can I do this? Tks, DD

Hi DevDiver, The default Excel render does not support to convert expressions in the report into excel formulas. Instead, it evaluates it during report processing and export the evaluated expression to Excel cell.
