Determining Report Format from expression

I would like to be able to check format to be running as, so I can make
some columns and fields invisible if run as excel or CSV etc.
Is this possible? I dont see a way at hitting render format from Report!
object.

As far as I know, this functionality is not available. That said, you
can create a custom application that controls the export options and
the fields/columns that are displayed. Sorry that I could not be of
greater assistance.

whip up my own dynamic report viewer in asp.net and it works quite
well... I will just inject a hidden parameter called format... then i
can use the format in the queries etc =)
That'll work great for me.
