Title: Is it possible to control the file name while exporting to excel
Post by: Jiayue.lin on 21 Sep 2015 05:24:25 AM
Dear all,

Very appreciate if you could do me a favor!

Situation is while user run the report studio in HTML format, then he exports it into excel 2007 format but not save it. Then he runs the report again with other parameters in HTML format. Here comes the problem, if the user want to save the new report in excel 2007 format again, it will cause the name conflict in excel.

So I want to know is there any solution to control the file name while exporting to excel 2007, for example with timestamp after the report name. I heard SDK could help. But unfortunately we dont use SDK.

Thanks a lot if any advices. I am waiting online.

Best Regards,
Lin
