In regards to Microsoft Reporting Services, exporting a report in the csv format generates a different looking file after upgrading from 2005 to 2008. For example, fields at the top of the report in the header used to be in the beginning of each row of the csv file in 2005, but it seems as though in 2008, header data (that’s not in the report table) is at the top of the csv file and not part of each csv row. There are also more data items delimited by commas in the 2008 csv. It seems as though the table column headers are treated as data in the csv. Also, the data items delimited by commas are in a different order between versions.
We would like to know the reason why reports exported in csv format look different between Microsoft Reporting Services 2005 and 2008.
