View 1 RepliesI 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.
Is there a way to change the width of the bars in a bar chart?
I know that there is an option to 'Plot the data as line', but for some reason this is greyed out.
Any ideas on both?
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.
HI All,
I want to increase the width of the bars, displayed on the columns chart. For better visibility. How can I do that?
Hello All,
I have a reporting services report in the form of a chart. I have two datafields on the chart.
I need to be able to dynamically hide one datafield and view the chart for the other one and vice versa.
How do I do this ?
Any help would be appreciated..
Thanks!
When I export the report in excel format the chart is displayed as picture. I want it to be displayed as editable chart.Does Office Writer work in this situation and did anyone use Office Writer to accomplish same type of problem.Is there any other method or product we can use instead of the office writer.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'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...
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.

Hi 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,
John
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

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 RelatedHello,
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.
Any ideas?

I am develping this report using Microsoft Visual Studio .Net 3.0. I added Chart to the report.
All I need is the simple 'x' axis and 'y' axis in the chart.
x need to be the Date
y need to be the ValueOFTheDate
date ValueOFTheDate
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1/1/2007 10
1/1/2007 11
1/2/2007 2
1/3/2007 1
Which one should be my Data fields?
Which one should be my Category Fields?
I don't think I need "Series Field". But the "ValueOFTheDate" was keeping showing as "Series Field".
The value of 'y' axis shows the value of "#of record for the date" which is wrong.
Thanks.
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.
hi there
I am just designing a simple chart in Report Builder - but when trying to drag any field into the value field of the chart (it doesn't change colour and won't accept any field).
If I drag a field into the category or series the curser changes and on approaching the chart properties they seem to change colour.
Can someone help to what can be wrong?
thanks

Hi,
Is there a way to set the visibility of a chart as can be done for a textbox or table or matrix?
My requirement is that the chart should be visible only if certain data conditions are met.

Hi, I've just started using Pie Charts and I'm stuck on a value problem (I think!). My category will be "Connection Status", and the values can be: success:human; success:machine; Connected; Null.
What I want to do is merge the "success:human" and "connected" values into one slice of pie. Is this possible?
Thank you, Dan

Hi All,
I am using SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services Charts. I am using Chart Type as Column (3-D Cluster Cylinder). I am using X axis of graph as Time/Date field. I have two questions while displaying report in desired format:
1. Currently I have grouped Category field on Date field fetched from database. It groups values per day. Now whenever there is no data for a particular date, it skips that date in chart. How can I show each and every date on report graph in user given date range?
2. If there is no data for a legend of a chart, how can I display a Bar in Chart with value 0. This means, I have to show Bar with Zero value.
Currently if I Show data labels of Chart, it just shows data for 0 value but does not show Bar with 0 value which could be residing as flat on X axis for a particular legend.
Please help me resolving this issues for Chart graphs.
Please let me know if you need any more details.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi, all experts here,
Thank you very much for your kind attention.
I have a question about how to have multiple chart options for a report? Like when I view a report, I want to see the report in different charts formats. It is possible in SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services (designer) to change from different chart options? Hope my question is clear for your advices.
Thank you very much in advance for your help and advices. And I am looking forward to hearing from you.
With best regards,
Yours sincerely,
Hi,
I am trying to display a line chart with cumulative totals over period of 12 months in a fiscal year. I know this can be achieveable in report designer using "Running value function".
Any idea how to achieve the same in Report builder ?
thanks in advance.
Here is the data :
Month Count
July 2
Aug 3
Sept 2
Expected output should be
Month Count
July 2
Aug 5(July count + Aug.Count)
Sept 7(July count + Aug count + Sept Count)

Is changing the display format of the Y axis of a column chart supported in the Sept CTP or is it going to be supported in the official release? For example I have built a report model with the numeric sales values set as 'C' for currency and have created a simple bar chart with year on the category axis and sales on the Y axis. The problem is that the Y axis displays as a general number (10000000) and would like to display it as a currency ($10,000,000). I can't for the life of me figure out how to display the Y axis as currency in Report Builder.

Hi everyone, I have created a matrix report which takes 3 parameters being store, year and quarter which then displays budget information in a matrix. This all works fine but I would also like to have a bar chart below the matrix to visually show the results.
However when I add the bar chart and add the relevent dataset details etc the chart does not appear when I preview the report. I wondered if the chart wasn't showing because the parameter values are not being passed to the chart.
Has anybody any idea of adding charts to reports in this way or knows of any instructions to do so.
Thanks
Sally
