Hi Gurus,

i have created report by using excel file as data set and used rtf template for field mapping. But i have to burst the report. Is it possible? or is there any other way to generate multiple reports based on for each excel rows?

for example i can explain here with two rows.

i have excel files data

EmpID EmpName Salary Location

101 xxxx 100 NY

102 yyyy 200 NJ

Now i have to generate two reports one is for EMPID 101 and another report is 102 in PDF format. The output name is something like EMPID_101_XXX_NY.PDF and other report is EMPID_102_YYYY_NJ.PDF

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

Amit

Hi,

let me clarify here, the excel file contains 500 records, now i am getting all 500 records in one report output file. but i want to generate 500 reports by using that single excel sheet data in pdf format. that means for each record in excel file should generate one report in pdf format., that means 500 rows should create 500 reports in pdf output format.

Regards,

Amit

I just want to make sure that , you need one PDF file for one row of data (Ex: for Invoice number) correct?

If yes ,please provide your XML data tags , based on that you can develop Burst Control file.

Hi,

not sure your question, i have an excel file with data. Excel file contains 500 rows.

what i did in BI publisher, i have added that Excel file in data model and created sameple file. I got sample records in xml file. Based on that xml file, i have created rtf file and uploaded that rtf file by using excel data model and now i can see all 500 records in rtf template. B

But here my requirement is i have to create 500 reports for each excel record in PDF format and need output format in the form of excel columns.example EMPID_101_XXX_NY.PDF and other report is EMPID_102_YYYY_NJ.PDF

Right now i am getting all 500 records in one report.

Regards,

Amit
