I am very new to the SQL report server, but have used other reporting tools before where I could add (or import) a new table of information directly into a report itself. I would do this when I required information in the report that is not part of the datasources tables.
For example, I use it for tying into the report complex sales budget numbers that are not included anywhere in the main datasource. I would simply add the table to my query I created, create my links, and I have a sales vs budget report.
Do you know if this is possible using the SQL reporting tools, or does the table need to be part of the main datasource ?
I am trying to create an ssis package with dynamic csv file as output. and out format contains query output.
sample file name:
Unique identifier + query output + systemdate();
The expression is looking like this.
@[User::FilePath] + @[User::FileName] + ".CSV"
-- user filepath is a variable from ssis package. File name is the output from SQL query. using script task i have assigned the values to @[User::FileName] .
When I debugged the script task the value getting properly but same variable am using for Flafile destination. but its not working.
Hi, I have a need to display on screen AND email a pdf report to email addresses specified at run time, executing the report with a parameter specified by the user. I have looked into data driven subscriptions, but it seems this is based on scheduling. Unfortunately for the majority of the project I will only have access to SQL 2005 Standard Edition (Production system is Enterprise), so I cannot investigate thoroughly.
So, is this possible using data driven subscriptions? Scenario is:
1. User enters parameter used for query, as well as email addresses. 2. Report is generated and displayed on screen. 3. Report is emailed to addresses specified by user.
I am Creating Click Once Windows Application with Reporting Services 2005.I have created Report and Published on Report Server.In my windows application I am successfully able to view my published report through report viewer control.
Now in my application I am getting a dataset from my custom webservice. I want this dataset data to be added to my report as datasource at runtime on Client Side ,as my report is on Report Server.
Is there a way to subscribe SSRS report using dynamic parameters for email and trigger the report from autosys job so that report should generate the exact time the job is triggered.Let me describe, my SSRS report should be triggered on success of one autosys job. i need to send email parameter and time of report schedule from this autosys job.
I have three types of specific reports that i have to create with the input parameters (range) either
1: By date (rdl 1)
2.By Month (rdl 2)
3.By Year (rdl 3)
Is it possible ( or how do I ) to create just one report template ( one rdl) with the three sets of parameters ( hiding/invisible which ever two sets base on user selection) and the output of the report will display the desired type( either by year, month or date).
I ask this because its possible to create a drill down report from year down to date etc in report designer (vs 2005). Not sure if I can create one instead of three rdls and with the 'logic' built within that template.
Now I have some problem about adding interactive with user. I want to adding dropdownlist to report by using report desinger. This dropdownlist is used for send datetime parameter to query data. It is consist "month" and "year" list. Can report designer do it?
If reporting designer cannot add dropdownlist to report... There are some solution for solving this solution.
Is it possible to dynamically refresh the report model of the report builder?
could it even be using code with any of the interfaces?
When we add a table or add a column to the table in database , will the report model get refreshed automatically or do we need to do it externally. If so, can we use any of the objects and write a custom code in VB.
I'm in the final stage of my asp.net project and one of the last things I need to do is add the following file information to my SQL server 2000 database when a file is uploaded:
First of all I have a resource table to which I need to add: - filename - file_path - file_size (the resource_id has a auto increment value)
so that should hopefully be straight forward when the file is uploaded. The next step is to reference the new resource_id in my module_resource table. My module resource table consists of: - resource_id (foreign key) - module_id (foreign key)
So, adding the module_id is easy enough as I can just get the value using Request.QueryString["module_id"]. The bit that I am unsure about is how to insert the new resource_id from the resource table into the module_resource table on file upload. How is this done? Using one table would solve the issue but I want one resource to be available to all modules - many to many relationship.
I have a report that grows horizontally as it contains a matrix. In the header section of the report, I have items such as Title and time stamp in text boxes. How can I make these items align in the center if the report grows horizontally, it looks kinda odd with report title not being in the center? Any input will be appreciated.
Need to know how I can get the dynamic filename created in the FlatFile destination for insert into a package audit table?
Scenario: Have created a package that successfully outputs Dynamiclly named flat files { Format: C:Test’Comms_File_’ + ‘User::FileNumber’+’_’+Date +’.txt’
E.g.: Comms_File_1_20150724.txt, Comms_File_2_20150724.txt etc} using Foreach Loop Container :
* Enumerator Set to: “Foreach ADO Enumerator” with the ADO object source variable selected to identify how many total loop iterations there are i.e. Let’s say 4 thus 4 files to be created
*Variable Mappings : added the User::FileNumber – indicates which file number current loop iteration is i.e. 1,2,3,4
For the DataFlow task have a OLDBSource and a FlatFile Destination where Flat File ConnectionString is set up as:
I was wondering if there is a way to 'Move File' with the File System Task inside of a For Each Loop container but to dynamically set the Destination path variable.
Currently, this is what I have: FileDestinationPath variable - set to C:TestFiles FileSourcePath variable - set to C:TestFiles FileNameAndLocation variable - set to blank
For Each Loop Container Iterates through a folder C:TestFiles that has .txt files in it with dates in the file name. Ex: Test_09142006.txt. Sets the file path (fully qualified) to the Variable Mapping FileNameAndLocation.
Script Task (within For Each Loop, first step) Sets the FileDestinationPath to the correct dated folder within C:TestFiles. For example, if the text files I want to move are for the 14th of September, it takes FileDestinationPath and appends the date folder to the end of it. The text files have a date in the file name (test_09142006.txt) and I am picking this apart (from FileNameAndLocation in the For Each Loop) to get the folder date. (dts.Variables(User::FileDestinationPath?).Value = dts.Variables(User::FileDestinationPath?).Value & ? Month & _? & Day & _? & Year & ?) which gives me C:TestFiles 9_14_2006?.
File System Task (within For Each Loop, second step) This is where the action is supposed to occur. I want it to take the FileDestinationPath and move the FileNameAndLocation file (from the For Loop) into this folder for each run.
Now as for my problem. I want this package to run everyday but it has to set the FileDestinationPath variable dynamically according to that days date. Basically, how do I get this to work since I cant hard code the destination path variable from the start? I have the DestinationVariable on the File System Task set to the FileDestinationPath variable, after the script task builds it. However, using FileNameAndLocation as the SourceVariable on my File System Task tells me that the Variable FileNameAndLocation? is used as a source or destination and is empty.?
Let me know if I need to clarify further...I may be missing something very simple. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I have a source files folder where the files generated everyday. My goal is pick the latest file and copy this single file to another folder. I used the Foreach loop container and got the latest file and stored the file name to a varible i.e. LatestFile Then i want to use the File System Task to copy this to the destination. On the beginning, I could not setup the Latestfile since I don't its name then, so when I setup the Source Connection property of the File system task, it is not allowed to leave the SourceVarible as blank!
I would like to know whether there is any way to add a button in report. I have 3 report parameters. On clicking the button, the current values of the reports are to be obtained and saved in database i.e saving the report configuration. I will use this saved configuration to form the url and view report directly.

I would like to allow users to add a comment to a report. What is the best way to do this? When the report is run I would like users to be able to see all comments and which user reported them and the date and time the comment was entered
I am using Visual Studio 2005 to create a report from a OLAP cube.
I am building a drop down list for user to select the desired branch. My mdx query as follow:
with member [Measures].[ParameterCaption] AS '[Company].[Branch].Currentmember.Member_Caption' member [Measures].[ParameterValue] AS '[Company].[Branch].Currentmember.Uniquename' select {[Measures].[ParameterCaption], [Measures].[ParameterValue]} on columns, {[Company].[Branch].ALLMEMBERS} on rows from [Profit And Loss]
I would like to add a blank row in the result set, such that I can consider that as selecting ALL Branch
I want to add some customized text to the report programmatically before the report is rendered. As it has to be done for all the reports, I don't want to do it report by report. For example, the report needs to display user selected filters. Any thoughts?
Hi all, I am stuck in the following situation, I have following query:
SELECT EM1.VALUE AS 'P_ABC', EM2.VALUE AS 'P_XYZ', COUNT(EM1.VALUE) AS 'COUNTS' FROM TABLE_1 EM1, TABLE_1 EM2 WHERE EM1.EXTENDED_PROPERTY_GID IN (SELECT GID FROM TABLE_3 WHERE NAME = 'ABC' ) AND EM2.EXTENDED_PROPERTY_GID IN (SELECT GID FROM TABLE_3 WHERE NAME = 'XYZ' ) AND EM1.DOCUMENT_METADATA_ENTRY_GID = EM2.DOCUMENT_METADATA_ENTRY_GID group by EM1.VALUE,EM2.VALUE
There is foreign key relation between EXTENDED_PROPERTY_GID OF TABLE_1 AND GID FROM TABLE_3
Now, I want to create an ad hoc report but the problem is when I add EM1.VALUE to display the P_ABC, I am not able to add EM2.VALUE after that, may be because refere to same column of same table. I have to add EM1.VALUE and EM2.VALUE both to display result but I am not able to do it.
What is the solution for this problem ? Its kind of urgent.
Is it possible to add new data to an existing report. I already updated the SQL query, but the new data does not appear within the report. How can I modify the rows, columns and data fields???
My report, which has a matrix and a chart work fine. Then...
I click on the Data tab, drag a measure into the results grid. At this point I haven't added the new measure to the matrix or anything in Layout.
I click the Preview tab and get the following message: "The definition of the report XXX is invalid. More than one data set, data region, or grouing in the report has the name 'YYY'. Data set, data region and grouping names must be unique within a report.
Ok, I get the point. But why and how would adding a measure give me this issue? Where can I even find where this is being duplicated?
The message refers to a name that is a parameter, and I don't see anything in there that might cause this.
My company sends reports on a daily basis to our customers. Now I want to save all the sent reports on disc with the date in the filename. I have set up a subscription which daily saves the files where I want them. However, I haven't found a way to add the date easily. I already have a parameter when creating the report, it is called Date. Does anybody know if I can use a parameter or something else?
When I launch a report using the following url, and then make changes to the report and save it, Reportbuilder is creating another report with the same name but also including the .rdl within the name itself.. therfore I now have two reports now displayed within the report manager
When I try to preview the report, I get the following error
An unexpected error occured while compling expressions. Native complier return value: '[BC32017] Comma, ')', or a valid expression continuation expected.'.
I have also tried it without the parameter,
="Data Source=MYSQLSERVER;Initial Catalog=ADV_1"
with the same result. When I use the exact same static DSN it works fine. Anyone have any idea what I might try to get it to work next?
The goal is to produce a single PDF consisting of a number of subreports. Some are landscape, others are portrait. The subreports may also be run as independent reports. The master report defaults to the width of the widest subreport, which is landscape. This causes all portrait subreports to spill over. Your suggestions / comments are appreciated.
I need to add a textbox in the report which would display the total number of rows in the report.I need to do this in reports which have either tabular layout or a matrix layout . Thanks in advance
