I have a report I am doing with SSRS 2008 with some rows that have multiple elements inside them. On the preview the row automatically expands to support the extra elements but however when I export the report to Excel it appears only as a single row with just the one element displayed, although all the elements are there when I double click the row or manually expand it.
I've checked everything...Can grow is set to true and the properties on the text box allows it's height to increase however it seems to ignore these.
Here it is in the preview http://tinypic.com/r/b4wbdg/8
In Excel http://tinypic.com/r/r084g3/8
Sorry about the links to the pictures and not in this question
Both CanGrow and CanShrink properties should be set to false. There is nothing like CanGrow and CanShrink in Excel. By setting them to false it will display the height as it is. Otherwise it will set the height to a default value.
This worked for me. Check this Row height not preserved when exporting to Excel thread for more suggestions.
