Problem exporting BIRT into PDF and EXCEL formats

Hi All,

Has anyone had this issue before?
There is one report that I am working on, which previews very well. Exports into HTML and word docucment formats pretty well. But, fails with following error while exporting into PDF and EXCEL files.

+ org.eclipse.birt.report.service.api.ReportServiceException: Error happened while running the report
Additional screen shots are also attached.
I could not recreate this on any other sample database or other simple reports.

Not sure how to trouble shoot it.
Any help?

The Excel file warning is normal because BIRT outputs the xml xls format rather than the binary xls output. If you hit yes, the file will open as expected.

As for the other error, can you click on the '+' sign and expand the error and post it in here?

Yeah, I had also faced the same problem. In my case i opened the xls in textpad and found that,

<Row ss:AutoFitHeight="1">
<Cell ss:Index="1" ss:StyleID="2134" ss:MergeAcross="2">
</Cell>

this means that two column are merged with no data in it. On cross checking the same I found that an extra line was added after the table. after removing the same,issue was solved

<Row ss:AutoFitHeight="1">
<Cell ss:Index="1" ss:StyleID="2134" ss:MergeAcross="1">
<Data ss:Type="String">Title:</Data>
</Cell>

P.S. I had added Title; here to represent the data.
