Hi,
I have a very big report with 60 columns and some columns are invisible.
The problem is now if I have 30 columns that are invisible (hidden=TRUE), the report width still stays at 60 columns width, and the Horizontal scroll bar become very long and it just scroll to blanks.
I would like to know how to resize the report after it is generated?
Thanks.
Jon
I have a report that has a certain number of columns that are hidden and when hidden they leave a lot of white space. Is there a way to detect when they are hidden and set the width property to 0 and then reverse the value when they are visible?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a subreport on my main report, and the subreport contains a matrix. When I run the report, the subreport seems to expand beyond the width of the main report. The matrix itself does not expand beyond the width of the body of the main report, but for some reason it seems that the subreport does. The subreport does not contain any headers that might be messing up the width. If I cut and paste the matrix from the subreport directly onto the main report, and remove the subreport, it prints fine. But as soon as I include the subreport on the main report it prints with blank pages because the subreport expands beyond the width of the body of the main report. I have checked the width and margins on the subreport and compared to the width of the main report and all looks good. Can anyone help?
Thanks.
Hi,
I've a report projects where each report has a number of columns and the spec is to have all the columns print-out on the same page. Is there a setting that will auto-scale these columns to fit to the page or will I have to edit the font size and widths manually on each report to fit to the page?
Thanks for any comments.
I'm not very familiar with sql server 2005, and am trying to create some reports for the first time. I created 4 fairly basic reports. Three of them work just fine. The fourth one is giving me fits. When I look at it in Visual Studio, it previews just fine - generates the correct data and everything. When I deploy it to report services, however, it gets squashed sideways, so that it is about three times too narrow. I've looked at both the body properties and the report properties, and they all appear ok when compared to the other three reports. The body width is set to 8.9 inches, and the report page size and interactive size properties are set to 8.6 inches.
Can anyone point me in the right direction, or am I going to have to start from scratch?
Thanks in advance...
Does anyone know how to create a bar chart in which the x-axis is dynamic (meaning I can have 0+ bars) and have the width of the bar being a fixed size?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi All,
We are having a table report which has set of columns where the visibility is made false based on report parameters. It works fine and the table automatically shrinks. But, the page width remains as early and has lot of blank space in it. It also causes printer to print many blank pages.
Is there a way to control pagewidth dynamically? Thought of adding a custom assembly to control page width - but how to access the page that is getting displayed. "this" will refer to the the assembly class instead of report as such.
Any help is highly appreciated.

Hi,
I have a report which includes a subreport. I would like to position them in a vertical position so that they like like just one report.
I have placed them within a rectangle but there is still quite a vertical distance between them and I cannot find any margin properities to fix this.
Would appreciate any hints,tip & advice.
Thanks,

Has anyone found out how to dynamically create report width.
If I have 20 columns on a report all of 2cm, then report will be 40cm width.
If I display the columns based on specific criteria using the iif function and then setting the an expression for the Visibility Hidden property, the report could potentially reduce in width.
I cannot see how to build an expression for the report width or table width, to accommodate the potential change in the width of the report when columns are not shown, thus it pages incorrectly, leaving huge white space on the right of the report when columns are hidden... has anyone come across this requirement, and hopefully a solution for it?
Many Thanks people
I have like 100 columns and most of them work fine, but some will not work. I need to select the columns with correct width for fixed width flat file.
Here is typical SQL statment that works for most of them.
left(RTRIM(A.City) + Replicate(' ', 25) ,25) as [City]
The above one is not working, but many other works fine like the address. Why would it work for some, but not others?
It works fine if I use any char, but not space. i.e.
left(RTRIM(A.City) + Replicate('*', 25) ,25) as [City]
Does anyone know how to control the width of the parameter dropdownlist? If you select "Multi-value" for the parameter (non-sp1 version) the parameter list is in a dropdownlist that is manageable in size. If you do not use the multi-value parameter, it looks like the width of the dropdownlist is determined by the width of the longest text of the returned parameters.
Is there any way to control the width of the dropdown?
Thanks

Hello,
I have a report where I'm showing a list of users to select.
When previewing the report, the width of the field is automatically set to the largest label in the dropdown list.
But when I change the parameter to have "Multi-Values", then the width is set to a fixed value and a horizontal scrollbar appears.
Does anyone know how to have a "Multi-Values" parameter, but keeping the lasgest width of the labels in the dropdown list ?
Thanks in advance
I found the following paragraph while searching on here:
************************************************************************
You could easily set up a parameter for each column and then display that column conditionally based on the parameter.
For instance, if you have a column that displays First Name, you could have a parameter called DisplayFirstName. Then in design view you'd select the whole FirstName column and in the Visibility-Hidden property set it to :
=iif( Parameters!DisplayFirstName.Value = false, true, false )
This could easily become a big, unwieldy report, though, if you have a great number of dynamic columns. Also, The width of the report is set at design time, and it includes the width of all your columns, not just the visible ones. This could cause you some pagination problems.
************************************************************************
That is exactly my problem. I have lots of dynamic columns which causes the width of the report to be wide. Thus even though at run time the report only shows columns within a page, the report itself consists of a lot of white spaces after the selected columns. Does anyone know a solution to this? If not, I guess creating the rdl with code manually is the only way? Please advise. Thanks in advance.

Will the width property of a column be able to be set at run-time (i.e. ability to set the width of a column to an expression) in SQL Reporting Services 2008? One problem I have seen is the inability to set the width of columns in a report when you you have several columns whose order is determined based on parameters.
Lets say I have 2 columns in a report and two fields from the database which will populate those columns: 1 field that is varchar(5) and one which is varchar(50). If I do not know which column each field will go to until runtime how am I supposed to adjust the column width? Letting the column width be set by an expression would solve everything as I could pass the width in to the report. As it stands now, I would have to set each column's width to accomodate a field of type varchar(50) in order to avoid wrapping of data.
You could say just create 2 reports, one for each case, but what if I had 15 fields? 20?how to dynamically set the width of a column? Will the width of a column be able to be set at run-time in SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 via expression or some other means?
I have a dataset for report builder 3 that has 8 fields. The data for the report needs to be grouped by the first field. The 2nd field is a string that describes the group field and this too needs to be on the same row as the group field. This 2nd field need nearly the full page width. The remaining 6 fields need to end up rendering below the first row. I can't figure out how to get report builder to put the first 2 fields on the first row and use the full page width.

I'm trying to read in a flat file (which, admittedly, has one very wide column), and it keeps breaking because of truncation when it tries to read in the file.

Hi,
I am trying to create a program that transfers tables to flat files.
At this point in time, I have suceeded in created one that creates delimited files.
However, I am now trying to create fixed-width files as you can do with the SSIS designer, but programatically.
Is there a way to programatically determine the width of a column from the source table? I can not seem to find any kind of function or member that stores this information or allows me to retrieve it.
I know what I need to change in order to set a width for a column, but I just don't know how to find the width without just asking the user to provide one.

I just asked you about how to hide the sub report from showing it in the drop down list. I have done it with the report manager [Report properties--> general --> Hide in Listview]. I am using RSBuild tool to automatically deploy the reports.I don't know what modification I have to make in the RSBuild code to incorporate this new functionality[Hiding sub report]. Can you please let me know how to do it?
I am using the following code, The description property is working correctly. But the Hide in List view property is not working.
Property[] properties = new Property[2];
Property Prop1 = new Property();
Property Prop2 = new Property();
Prop1.Name = "HideInListView";
Prop1.Value = "True";
properties.SetValue(Prop1, 0);
Prop2.Name = "Description";Prop2.Value = "Muni deployed sub report";
properties.SetValue(Prop2, 1);
But I don't know the proprty name and value for Hide in List view.
Can you please give me the suggestion?
Hi,
Using SQL 2005 Reporting Services, with the click of one button in my custom report viewer, is there a way I can generate my report, format it into PDF and send it to an email address that is shown on the report itself. (Report run may generate 1 copy specific to each client...ie, I want one copy to email to each client, and not have to have the clients subscribe to the report).
Any idea?
Cheers

Hi, everyone
There is a table t1 with two fields, such as,
ID NAME
１ Ｔｏｋｙｏ
2 Xian
3 America
For there are full-width and half-width strings in the values of the two fields, I can not select and get the right records. So I want to transform the two fields ID and NAME, I fail to find the function in the SQL Server 2005. Please give me some advice.
Thank you very much!
this might be a stupid question.
I have a parameter which has a default value set to it. when a second value is selexcted is it necessary to click the view report button.

I have a SQL 7.0 database Drill.mdf (19 MB) and Drill_log.ldf (594 MB).
After operation "shrink database" space allocated became as:
Data space Used Free Total
Drill 18,06MB 0,06MB 18,13MB
Transaction log space 20,79MB 545,70MB 566,49MB
Could I somehow decrease the size of Drill_log.ldf file?
I have a sql 2005 system and have a very large 25gb ldf file and a 200mb database.
Someone has set the initial size at 25gb so shrinking the file will not help.
I need to remove/add the file to gain space on the drive.
SQL 2000 you could just detach the DB and rename the ldf file and attach the db back and you are done. With 2005 you cannot do that.
Hey all,
1) I have a report with many parameters that I want users to be able to pick from. Allow them to pick 1, many or all to build their report dynamically. I'm all set on the TSQL side, but on the Reporting Services side I have to allow each parameter to be null with a default of NULL. In by doing this, the report will auto run, which I do not want to happen. The only resolution I've found thus far was by adding a parameter that does nothing, with a NULL default value. Yet It sticks out like a sore thumb on the report and I want to get rid of it. If I check in "Hidden" in the parameter options, my report errors out stating that the parameter requires a value.
2) Is it possible to have a parameter that has available values from a dataset have a NULL checkbox like those of parameters that do not have available values?
3) Is it possible to add back/forward buttons inside of a report instead of just at the report header by default?
Thanks!
Yes my DB file is 10MB but my LOG file (LDF) is 300MBis there a way to reduce or compres that one?thanx
