Hello Martin,

Thank you for sharing your scenario and suggestions with us. We will consider them when implementing the feature.

We agree that an Expression would be the best option for setting the Worksheet names dynamically and we will probably work in this direction.

Hi Dimitar

I would love for this to be an expression bound to the group where the page break exists, which could be an expression related to the data context. In our existing SSRS reports, we have a billing report that breaks on the Customer and each Excel worksheet is the Customer's name, this makes it human-readable. This is navigated using a bookmark on a summary page, which lists all of the customers.

It's good to know that this is in the pipeline.

Hello Martin,

We couldn't include this feature in the Q2 2024 release but it is part of our plans for the near future. The item will be updated as soon as we have officially planned a release date for it and you will be notified of the update automatically.

In the meantime, we would like to gather more information for how our users may want to use such functionlity. For example, would a field from the report data context be used in the expression, a report parameter, an user function or even a simple expression that concatenates two strings?

We appreciate any feedback you may have on how you would like to make use of the functionality.

I've been working with SSRS for many years and am now transitioning to Telerik Reporting, this is a must for anyone creating customer-facing reports. To have worksheets split on a page break is great, but not having any control over how those worksheets are named makes the reports look amateur.

Can we get confirmation that this feature is on the roadmap? Looking at those recently completed feature requests, they have far fewer votes than this one, so no reason why this shouldn't be bumped up the queue.

Wow, yet another simple feature that is missing when compared with SSRS?
Any update on this?

Thank you. This is probably going to be a show-stopper on some of my client projects.
