How to export Excel file from Power BI report server using URL
Hi All,
Is it possible to export a rdl report to Excel file using URL link?
Regards,
Jimmy
No, there are no changes to server settings required. Did you use the url format from the documentation link?
eg.
https://<server>/ReportServer?/<reportfolder>/<reportname>&rs:Format=PDF
Note that you need to use the Webservice url (/reportserver by default), not the portal url (/reports by default)

Yes, you would just add the rs:Format=Excel url parameter. There are a bunch of different url access parameters that you can use see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/reporting-services/url-access-parameter-reference?view=sql-server-ver15

What sort of differences are you seeing? There is only one Excel rendering engine in the product, in theory the menu bar option is just calling in to the rs:format=Excel url endpoint.
