How can I export a paginated report to tsv with a tab delimiter? In SSRS I could add an extension to the config file but that doesn't seem to work anymore. The option still shows but the file has a comma instead of a tab for it's delimiter.
Solved! Go to Solution.
editing the config file definitely still works. Below is the config I'm using (note that there is an acutal TAB character in the FieldDelimiter)
<Extension Name="TAB" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.DataRenderer.CsvReport,Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataRendering" >
<OverrideNames>
<Name Language="en-US">TSV (Tab Separated)</Name>
</OverrideNames>
<Configuration>
<DeviceInfo>
<SuppressLineBreaks>true</SuppressLineBreaks>
<FileExtension>tsv</FileExtension>
<FieldDelimiter xml:space="preserve"> </FieldDelimiter>
</DeviceInfo>
</Configuration>
</Extension>

I did not have my Field Delimiter set like yours. It worked after changing the field delimiter to match yours. I also had to stop reporting services and restart it using the Report Server Configuration Manager. Restarting the server did not work.
