Export Header color

Question

Hello

I’ve got an expression on the Fill properties of the SSRS 2012 report header, =IIF(Globals!PageNumber<>1, "Blue", "Red") . The expression works on the report, the header on Page 1 is Red, all other pages the header is blue.

The problem happens when I export the report to PowerPoint, the header is a white colour.

Is there a straightforward way of getting over this issue?

Thanks in advance
Roy.

Hi Roy,
@RoyB09
Since Powerpoint and SSRS have different concept about header/footer. Some render behavior is not exactly as we see in SSRS. Such as background color of report header will be ignored in PPTX file.
This is by design. I suggest you submit the requirement at https://feedback.azure.com/forums/908035-sql-server.
If the requirement mentioned by customers for many times, the product team may consider to add this feature in the next SQL Server version. Your feedback is valuable for us to improve our products and increase the level of service provided.
