| I need to generate a .txt file via a SSRS report. My thought was to export the report as .xlsx then build a SSIS package to convert the file. In theory I thought this would work but I'm unsure how to implement SSIS to convert the file. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! |

| SSRS supports csv files, right? Csv files can be opened as text files.Tara KizerSQL Server MVP since 2007http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/ |

I see SSRS only exports as CSV (comma delimited) or CSV (Tab delimited), I actually need tab delimited. quote:

| Ah, you said it support tab delimited and that you wanted tab delimited. I didn't have an SSRS available to verify. I don't have a solution via SSRS, but you can achieve the same via other methods, such as SSIS, bcp, etc.Tara KizerSQL Server MVP since 2007http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/ |
