drilldown in excel and PDF

I have a report that has the drilldown function in it with the +/-
sign. When I export the report to excel or PDF, the drilldown
functionality is lost and I am not able to view the info at the lower
level's.
If I expand all the drilldown's and export it, then all the info shows
but the +/- still doesn't show up in excel or PDF.
I am currently running RS SP2.
does anyone know the reason why it's doing this?That is the way those types are rendered. They do not have the drill down
capability.

For starters:
PDF files will ONLY show the report exactly how it looks - i.e. if some
components are collapsed, and others expanded, then that is EXACTLY what you
get when you export to PDF.
EXCEL on the other hand WILL show drill-downs and carry that
functionality into the excel workbook itself. I.e. You can after exporting
into Excel drill-down into your data or collapsed as if you were on the
report server web page viewing this report.
One of the issues with Excel drill downs is when people use a SubReport.
Subreports do not render into Excel at all. (Pisses me off of course) :) Are
you using a subreport?

basically, the root level shows a customer's name and their financial
info and when the user clicks on the drilldown +/- it's supposed to
show the customer's address info. All of the info come from the same
dataset or query.
I wonder if it has anything to do with SP2.

Just in case , in excel the + sign ie grouping happens and it is extreme left
side of the sheet or the screen itself. hope you noticed this. If it is still
not there.
