You cannot use "Go to report" as far as I know if you are planning to export to excel. The go to report action generates a URL internally that expects to be accessed from the report server.

Get round this in the past I have done the following.

Changed the Action to "Go to URL"

Set the URL to an expression such as the following example which also includes setting parameter values.

= Globals!ReportServerUrl
+ "?/myFolder/DetailReport" 
+ "&Period=" + cStr(Fields!Period.Value)
+ "&Id=" + cStr(Fields!Id.Value)
+ "&rc:Parameters=Collapsed"

The Globals.ReportServerUrl just gives you the base report server URL part.
