Hi,
Is it possible to fix the max width of the columns ?? Sometime the report only generates 1 or 2 columns and it looks a bit odd as they're stretched to the width of the page.
Also, when we have a large number of culumns, say 20 odd, the legend text get's real squashed up and un readable, are there any tips/tricks so i can have more flexibility over what's displayed ?
thanks
Steve
The reason I say this is because a subtotal of a dollar amount will take up more space than other values. Right now, I'm forced to make all columns the same larger width because it appears to be all wrapped into 1 column width setting. I can try to change the value of the subtotal column, "matrixcolumn4", but it reverts to the other value after I press enter to apply the changes.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm using Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005. I am creating a report to put on the Internet using C# and other .NET features. I'm building several charts using database information extracted from Microsoft Excel. I can make charts based on the data from columns using the categories, series, and values on the Data tab of chart properties. However, when I create a query that grabs a record ( a row) from a database, it forces me to use the field values even though each field contains only one value.
Basically, I want to take a row from a database and make it my x-axis data values and another row (record) from a database and make it my y-axis data values.
I'd prefer not to change the format in the database, if possible. Thanks in advance.
Hi all.
I'm trying to export some tables in fixed width format for a client that needs it this way. The first time I did this, using Import/Export in Enterprise Manager, integer fields were 12 chars long. However, when I saved this as a DTS and ran it again later, it made integers 4 chars in the text file (which matches the lengths of the datatypes you see in enterprise manager.)
Why is this difference there? What do I need to do differently? Also, is there a list of how wide each data type is when exported as fixed delimited text?
thanks,
Craig
hi when I try to export data to a fixed width txt file I get the following error:
Error 0xc02020a1: Data Flow Task: Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "postcode" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page.".
even though my sql for postcode is LEFT(postcode,8) and the field length is 8 !
do you now why ?
True story. Thanks. Dont think that fixed or ragged is going to work for me though. File does not seem to be structured.
I have what appears to be a fixed length file that I would like to import using SSIS. However it does not look loike the spacing between fields is constant. Is there a way to say from character 1 to 10 is X, and 11 to 15 is Y, etc etc? Below is a couple of rows that all pertain to the same record.

What do you reckon is the best option? SUBSTRING in a Dervied Column? Below is an example of the text.
I am able to get reports going with tables sized properly. They look fine on the ReportServer website and I adjust the column widths so that the headings and data look nice. When I set up a subscription to be delivered by "Report Server E-Mail," though, the table formattings get completely distorted.
In particular, I have two tables, with some column headers being two short words (e.g. Max Height). When rendering on the site, I adjust the columns so the full column header is visible on one line. When I receive the email and read it in Outlook, the header row is now about twice as tall and everything is scrunched together. Both the headings and the data in the fields do not format the same as on the website.
The two tables tend to actually have the exact same width in the email version, although occasionally they are a little different (in the web version one is about half as wide as the other). I have tried just making the columns bigger and that has not worked. I've tried making the font sizes smaller, which didn't work. If I do that, leaving the columns the same width, the email version just gets scrunched into a smaller area with the same text-wrapping problems.
If I open the email in a browser (in a web mail interface) the report renders perfectly as on the site.
I have almost all the default settings, and haven't been messing around with page sizes and things like this (except after, to see if that would fix the problem).
Any ideas, similar experiences, or suggestions? If there is a book I should read or any reference you could point me to in order to figure this out would be helpful. I haven't been able to understand this either using web searches or the two SQL reporting services books I have.

Hello:
I am running into an issue with RS2k PDF export.
Case: Exporting Report to PDF/Printing/TIFF
Report: Contains 1 table with 19 Columns. 1 column is static, the other 18 are visible at the users descretion. Report when printed/exported to pdf spans 2 pages naturally, 16 on the first page, 3 on the second, and the column widths have been adjusted to provide a perfect page span .
User A elects to hide two of the columns, and show the rest. The report complies and the viewable version is perfect, the excel export is perfect.. the PDF export on the first page causes every fith column, starting with the last column that was hidden to be expanded to take up additional width. On the spanned page, it renders the first column on that page correctly, then there is a white space gap equal to the width of the hidden columns and then the rest of the cells show with the last column expanded to take up the same width that the original 2 columns were going to take up, plus its width.
We have tried several different settings to see if it helps this issue or makes it worse. So far cangrow/canshrink/keep together have made no impact. It is not possible to increase the page size due to limited page size selection availablility for the client. There are far too many combinations of what the user can elect to show or hide to put together different tables to show and hide on the same report to remove this effect.
Any help or suggestion on this issue would be appreciated
Hi All,

Hi
I have developed some line charts in reporting services with some parametrs
On the bottom axis is the month and the upper is no. hours.
The problem is that when i select certain parametrs becaus there is no data for that month the line just ends and then starts at a new month.
Does anyone know anyway of telling it to go to zero if there is no data for it so there is a continous line
Thanks
Can you loop through the records of one dataset and create a chart for each record?

I've got a report with a table holding a subreport that contains a number of Dundas charts. Each of these charts displays A LOT of data.
Now... after deploying the report, only a few charts at the bottom of the report are displayed -- the rest display the Image-doesn't-exist icon (File image with red X across it). Can anyone tell me what's going on? My best guess is that this is a memory issue on the server side...
Friends,
I have a requirement in Bar charts using SSRS...Assume that I have 3 Products Quantity and the representation will look like following
A - 10
B- 20
C-15
Though it is easy to develop this as a bar chart...The requirement is that a Product Perfomace should be represented using Images in the chart area...Instead of showing that A has 10 quantitites in a single bar, a general product image should be coming in the place of 10 and same with the case of B and C.. I have used smiley icons here for clarity
The look of the chart should be like following
|
|_________________
|_________________|

Please let me know if there is a way to customize this bar chart using SSRS Charts...Thanks in Advance
Hi,
I am upgrading all my access reports to reporting services. One of my access reports, contains a chart which is set a a multiple chart (so I can see a chart of data for each day in the data set). Is it possible to do the same using the SQLserver 2005 chart component?....I cannot see an obvious button to press which makes a single chart a multiple one.
If this is not possible in vanilla reporting services, can anyone suggest a thrid party add-in that will rovide the functionality I want? (cheaply lol!)
Cheers,

Hi all,

Can u guys help me to solve the problem
Thanks in advance.
Hello,
I am attempting to create a line chart for a report.
Are there any detailed white pages that discuss this particular chart type in detail? So far most of the documentation I have seen fails to cover the extent of the properties available in a chart and the terminology is unfamiliar to me.
What I need to know is how to integrate the chart into an existing table and within a group, plus be able to change the y-band scale to match the particular data being returned by that grouping.
Is this something better suited towards a subreport inserted into the detail band or inserting a rectangle then the chart itself forgoing the use of a subreport?
Any documentation would be appreciated, step by step approaches would be even more helpful.
Thanks.
Hi,
I am creating some earned value reports that display project budget, actual cost to date, projected cost, and earned value. I have all of the data stored by month so I am using the Running Value function to display the data on a graph such that at any given point on the graph, it is showing total dollars as of that date. This works great for a single project or a summation of projects.
I also want the ability to create a batch set of reports for a series of projects, basically they input a list of project numbers, and a new graph is generated for each one. To do this, I created a "batch report" that has a subreport in a table's group with project id being the grouped on field, it passes that project id to the subreport as input.
I get exactly what I want - a new report for each project, but the problem is, running value on the graphs is not working across the projects. It's fine for the first project, but all subsequent projects are getting messed up. For instance, one project with a max budget of 200K is showing with a max budget of 400K, actuals are getting nulled out, etc. It's as if for some reason, the RunningValue isn't getting reset across the subreport....
An example of my value field on one of the lines (not copy and pasted so forgive any syntax errors - I'm not on my development box):
Code Snippet= Iif(MAX(Fields!actual_de.Value + Fields!actual_work.Value) >0, RunningValue(Fields!actual_de.Value + Fields!actual_work.Value, Sum, FakeSeries), Nothing)
(The point of the max is so that the graph stops on months without actuals - that is months that haven't occured yet)
My FakeSeries is just on projectID and is just for the purpose of resetting the Running Value (or so I thought).
Does anyone have any input or advice on how to get this working? Why is RunningValue getting messed up across subreports? If I only give the batch report one project ID, the data is great. (I know it's the running value because if I take out running value and just graph the SUM - all the values are correct). If anyone has an alternate way of doing this sort of batch report I'm all ears as well!
Thanks much!
Jen

Hello,
My 3D bar charts don't look as good as they could because the bars are too thick when displayed in 3D (depth-wise). If I have many bars, the bars are very thin on the front, and then go back far too much. Has anyone played with the settings to see how to optimize this? Even with 5% rotations, it is still too thick for my taste and doesn't look like the previews in the designer.

Hi,
We have developed few reports displaying data using chart layout. In the Data tab, we have specified MDX query that will return top 10 records.
But now, instead of restricting to just top 10 records, we would like to display all records and go in for pagination.
Is there some setting in the chart properties, where in I can display the first n records in first page, and the next n records( if available) in the next page and so on?
Can I specify the value of n somewhere in the propeties?
I read through many posts regarding pagination but those couldn't help me much.
Please help me in solving this problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

I have two questions regarding in-line bar charts...
First, I put the text as data labels and check 'Auto' for positioning, most of the time the text is written to the right of the bar (which is what I want). However, there is one case that if the space to the right of the bar is not enough for the text, it starts writting on the bar itself.... is there a way I could set it so that the text only appears when there is enough space to the right, so that text never appears on any bars?
Secondly, is there a way I could put hyperlinks on the text?
Thanks again,
Steven
Hi All,
what I want is a custom Legend for the Pie Chart.
I have followed this article and have done what was written under
Custom Chart Color Palettes and Legends
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa964128.aspx#moressrscharts_topic4
But still the color of the legend is not uniform.
Basically I am using a stored procedure which returns two values : Circle, Total based on a parameter called Customer.
1. I have pasted the code asked in the Code Section of the report.
2. Have Disabled the 'Show Legend' box in Chart Properties.
3. Have included the following code in the Values->Appearance->Series Styel->Fill
=Code.GetColor(Fields!Circle.Value)
4. In the Category groups ->Group on-> this is my expression =Fields!Circle.Value (Basically I am not sure where
should I include Circle Field. I have tried this both by putting it in Category Groups and Series Groups.)
5. Dragged and dropped new table and have done the following
a.table1->Properties->Groups->Add->General->Group on Expression Fields!Circle.Value
b.Deleted Detail row.
c.Dragged and dropped rectangle in the column value and set the background value to =Code.GetColor(Fields!Circle.Value)
When I run the report for different customers the colors are not remaining constant. I have 17 values for Circles. So included three more colors in the "colorPalette " variable..
After doing all this still I am not able to get the same colors. Could someone tell me where I am going wrong?
Hi,
I am new to reporting services and I am stuck. I have a report I am trying to design, it has startdate and end date as parameters, I als have a non-queried parameter with the values of month,week,user,hour. These parameter values create a drowndown box on the report, What I am trying to figure out is how to display information in a chart depending on which item is selected i.e (month,week,user etc....). The original report is in access and I am converting it to reporting services, I know there is third party software out there but, I really want to use reporting services.
Hi,
With Report Builder, I created a basic chart using the chart Wizard..

Hi there!
I have a certain scenario and would like to know if it would be recommendable to try and realize it through RS.
I have a matrix of sales data (countries, regions, categories, total sales, Year-To-Date, changes, etc.) that need to be shown on charts. The charts themselves have a single format (bars). The out put needed is a relatively large number of charts (3000+) that would allow for a great number of comparisons (country to country, region to region, etc.). All these charts share a single layout. What would be varying greatly are the values and the labels attached to the elements on the chart (labels of the bars, title of the chart, legend, footnotes, etc.)
My plan is the follwoing:
- create a .net module that would prepare the data for the chart. This would be done with two tables
- parent table with general information
- child table with the the values for the bars and the labels
- Create a parametrized report in RS that accepts the Id of a report from the parent table
- Call this report for each and every report that can be found in the parent table
I would really appreciate any information of the feasabilitiy of this plan. I have worked a lot with Crystal before, but I don't have it anymore and will be using RS from now on. I haven't really started working with RS as of yet, but would need to know if this is "doable" with RS!
Thank you very much in advance for your replies!
