SSRS-2008

There are many reports we have to generate every month and half of them have to set freeze panel, filter, format...etc. We do it by ourself every time after we generate the report, but it is a lot of work to do. So I have write a macro for some of the report, but it is not enough to reduce the work flow.
Therefore is that any way to automatically add the macro in to the excel? Or other way can do that?

Solution 1

You cannot do this directly in SSRS. but there is a work around if you wish to proceed.

1. generate your files in folder.
2. create SSIS Package and add script task.
3. write C# code to program your needs on each file.

VB

oExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
oExcel.Visible = False
oBooks = oExcel.Workbooks
oBook = oBooks.Open(Dts.Variables("filePath").Value.ToString())
//Your macro here:
oExcel.Run("Yourmacro")

you can use above code as well...

Do you mean
Download the reports to a folder -> use an SSIS to run the macro automatically?
