Elements can be used to add content to a Template when a report document is created from the report.

Example: If you want to add a bar chart from a Datasource to a report document, you can use a Chart Element and reference it within the Template.

Microsoft Excel Reports support the following element types:

Name	header
Chart Element	This type of element can be used to insert the graphical visualization of a chart (e.g. a bar chart) of a Datasource into the report document.
Condition Element	This type of element can be used to only include the portion of a Template(such as specific rows or worksheets) in the report document based on a condition.
Expression Element	This type of element can be used to insert the result (such as a numeric, text, or date-time value) of an Expression into the report document.
Image Element	This type of element can be used to insert an external image that is loaded from a local or UNC file path or web URL into the report document.
Repeater Element	This type of element can be used to repeat the portion of a Template in the report document.
Table Element	This type of element can be used to insert a table extracted from a Datasource object into the report document.
