How to Create Excel Reports > Browsing Reports

Browsing Reports

OfficeWriter Designer for Excel not only gives you the ability to create your reports in Excel, but it also gives you the ability to view any of those reports without leaving Excel. To use the OfficeWriter Designer toolbar as a report browser from Excel, simply close all active worksheets. Then press the View button on the OfficeWriter Designer toolbar. You will see the Report Browser dialog box.

Type in the server name or url for your Reporting Services Report Server. Click Refresh and then navigate to the report you wish to see. Click Ok to view your report.

If you created your report in Visual Studio and then modified it with OfficeWriter Designer for Excel, only the modifications will be displayed. In this case, whatever you designed in Excel is what you will see using the View button.
