Hi,
My current headache with SSRS is regarding Excel rendering. Many users download different reports and then merge them together into one Excel file. I have 5 different RDL's and they should be separated. All of them use the same color scheme: Black, Dark
Blue and Gray. The main report has a Document Map. The rest of them don't.
Up until SSRS 2005 there was no problem. However, SSRS 2008 is rendering the xls color palette differently for the report that has a Document Map than the other reports. So if you download two reports in Excel and try to copy the worksheets from one to another, the colors will get screwed up. I researched about rendering as XLSX but our great SSRS 2008 doesn't generate Excel 2007/2010 files. I tried putting text boxes on my secondary reports so it would generate the color palette in the same order but it doesn't happen. Only if I also add the Doc Map to it.
This is how it renders the palette for the report with Doc Map:
Color 1 #0000FF (doc map link)
Color 2 #000000 (doc map reg text)
Color 3 #003082
Color 4 #969696
Color 5 #0000FF
This is how it renders the palette for the report without Doc Map:
Color 1 #000000
Color 2 #003082
Color 3 #969696
Color 4 #00FF00 (rs default)
Color 5 #0000FF (rs default)
The rest of the 56 colors are default. So the main problem is that blue in #1 that shifts colors down.
If you have any suggestion or workaround please let me know.
Thanks,
Alan
