Hi,
I€™ve build a report in reporting services 2005, based on a MOLAP cube (Analysis Services 2005). In the cube I€™ve enabled drillthrough.
I know that we can define drillthrough in the report by clicking on one of the members of the dimension hierarchy, but that€™s not what I want. I want to be able to drillthrough on a cell. Is there any way how to do that in Reporting Services 2005?
Thanks,Abdel
I have a cell in one of my reports that displays both a begin time and an end time. The problem is that the times are stored in military time and I need to display them in AM/PM format.
Currently I am doing the following:
CASE
WHEN DATEPART(HH, start_time) < 13 THEN RIGHT(CAST(100 + DATEPART(HH, start_time) AS CHAR(3)), 2)
ELSE CAST(DATEPART(HH, start_time) - 12 AS CHAR(2)) END + ':' + RIGHT(CAST(100 + DATEPART(MI, start_time) AS CHAR(3)), 2) +
CASE
WHEN DATEPART(HH, start_time) < 13 THEN ' AM' ELSE ' PM'
END
+ ' - ' +
CASE
WHEN DATEPART(HH, end_time) < 13 THEN RIGHT(CAST(100 + DATEPART(HH, end_time) AS CHAR(3)), 2)
ELSE CAST(DATEPART(HH, end_time) - 12 AS CHAR(2)) END + ':' + RIGHT(CAST(100 + DATEPART(MI, end_time) AS CHAR(3)), 2) +
CASE
WHEN DATEPART(HH, end_time) < 13 THEN ' AM' ELSE ' PM' END AS 'TIMES',
in order to present the two times in one cell in AM/PM format. While this works, I'm wondering if there is a way in Reporting Services layout mode to give a date or time format mode to a cell that will work for two times with a dash in between them, rather than simply for one time. Then I could pull the times in the format that they are stored on the database and use Reporting Services to format them. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Is it possible to format a single cell with many lines of data. For instance, if I wanted to list an entire address in one cell like this:
123 Main St.
Apt. 1
Austin, TX 78759
Would that be possible through some kind of special formatting? Maybe with <br /> or something like that?
We have started to use reporting services in integrated mode with windows sharepoint. Since this installation the drillthrough reports have stopped working. We get the following error when a hyperlink is cllicked:-
The item 'http://vtrends/reports/IslandRegionCountryState' cannot be found. (rsItemNotFound)
In the textbox properties we have set the 'Jump to Report' hyperlink option to use a condition. Based on the link clicked, one of two reports will be displayed. If i remove this condition and manually select the report to run then there are no problems. This however is not the functionality that is needed.
Any help will be appreciated.
Hopefully, someone has figured this out:
I've implemented and tested cell level security on the cube. It's testing certain level conditions, and returns #N/A (as normal) when the user is not supposed to see the cell value. Since I always use .FormattedValue in my reports, works fine in Report Services (and Excel and ProClarity, etc.)
Here's the problem:
When RS parameters encounter this situation, the parameter dataset "breaks" (The following system error occurred: Type mismatch.) This is happening, because the parameter fields (ParameterValue, ParameterCaption, ParameterLevel) are being replaced by #N/A, due to the cell level security. This is happening, because these are actually defined as members, and hence passing through cell level security.
What I need to do is find a way to have these specific members bypass the cell level security, so that the parameter datasets still work. (Failing that, a new way of specifying parameters in MSRS.)
I've tried the following a a cell level security rule, but it doesn't seem to work:
[Measures].CurrentMember is [Measures].[ParameterValue] or [Measures].CurrentMember is [Measures].[ParameterCaption] or
[Measures].CurrentMember is [Measures].[ParameterLevel] or
[Measures].[Is Visible]
Any ideas?

How can i add these two cell values.
I used following expression
=Fields!LITMIN.Value + Fields!NUMMIN.Value
But i am getting Concatenated result ie:05
But i need 5.
How can i do it.Pls help me
i hav four cells that display
startdate       | %completed|   taskname    | indicator
[startdate value]|[%completed]|[taskname value]|[indicatorfield value]
task name and indicator are grouped by years and months
i want all these in a single cell with a separator.
I have the following result set that I am putting into a SSRS 2012 Matrix:
RowNum RowLabel Val Title
1.00 Advance 10000.0000 TestTitle1
4.00 List Price 18.0000 TestTitle1
5.00 Units Shipped 20000 TestTitle1

When setting it up such that the Columns are Title, and the Rows are RowLabel, I get the following:
TestTitle1
I am trying to create an SSRS report to display a single row of Household information (from CRM Dynamics) Household being the Parent Entity, with 1:N relationship with Contact Entity.
How would I go about showing all the Firstnames (from Contact) in the same cell like the below?
on this report, am having ids separated by '^'.when I export to excel, I wrote the expression as
=Replace(Fields!Id.Value,"^",Environment.NewLine)
It is working fine, but the problem is if I have only one id in some scenario, then this case that cell is showing an error "The Number in this cell formatted as text or precedence by apostrophe" .But in other scenario,If the ids are separated by "^", then this case that cell wont show any error. So I need to display the cell wont have any error symbol  if I have only one id .How can I achieve this?.
I have a report where in I want to show each record on a separate page.
So, to achieve that I took a single cell from table control, expanded it and used all the controls in that single cell. This looks nice so far.
Now, I also have to show a sub grid on each record. So I took a table control and added on the same single cell and tried to add a parent group to the table row.
When I preview, it throws this error.
"The tablix has a detail member with inner members. Detail members can only contain static inner members."
What am I doing wrong? How can I achieve table grouping inside a table cell?
Hello,
I have a master report that uses the "Jump to report" property to drill through to a detail report when the user clicks a report column value. This all works great and the users love it. However, when I click the brower's "Back" button to return to the master report, the master report is rerun and I am returned to page 1. If I drilled through on page 25 of the master report then I have lost my original position and I must navigate back to page 25. The users don't love this "feature"!
Is there a way I can return from the drill through detail report to the master report without using the browser's back button and losing my original position in the master report?
Thanks,
BCB
Hello,
I am trying to migrate my reports from SQL server 2000 reporting services 32bit to 2005 64bit. I am following the migration steps that MS specified.
Restored my Reportserver and ReportserverTempDB databases

It's driving me crazy, why is it looking for 'ReportServerTempDBTempDB' in the catalog instead of 'ReportServerTempDB'?
Is it possible to migrate from 32bit to 64bit?
Any help is appreciated
Wonder if you could help me ?
I have set up a cube running under MSSQL Server 2000 Analysis services and have created reports in Excel 2002 using pivot tables and linking into the cube as an external data source.
The pivottable works fine and I can slice / dice as usual, the only thing that doesnt work is the drill through into AS. I receive and error message saying "Cannot show detail data for that selection...".
Now I know that the drill through works, as when I create a report using the Analsyis Services Excel Add Inthe drill through works fine, its just how do I get it working using the pivot tables ?
fyi - the reason I dont want to use the Analsyis Services Excel Add In for all the reports is because I have to deploy this to XX number of users, who wont have admin rights on their machines etc etc....
Is there any VB that I could use to perform this drill through and return the results.....or easier ??
Thanks very much

Hi people
My users are having troubles with link to default drillthrough report when reports are exported to excel (they REALLY don't like this behavior ), so I decided set all of them disabled in report model, this work fine, but calculated field in reports has this drillthrough link.
Let me show you the situation. Entity Product has an UnitaryCost field, I set the EnableDrillthrough Property in False so when I export a report with this field, no link is shown.
But if I create in the report a calculated field Round(UnitaryCost) this field has a Drillthrough Link
Is this the standard and expected behavior? or its simply a BUG?
Have I done something wrong in my model? and in this case, How I can correct this?
regards.
Julio Diaz.
I have enabled drillthrough on a cube (AS 2005) and selected the columns required. This worked. When I use the drillthrough option in Excel, drillthrough queries return less rows than expected. For example, for a cells combinations (pivot table) I saw 21198 rows, but after access to detail, query return just 21106 rows. Less rows than expected.
Any ideas what causes this?
Thanks!

Hi All,
I'm trying to create reports in RS2005 using AS2000 as my data source. I understand that if I use RS2005 on AS2000, I wont be able to enjoy the OLAP based parameters as in using AS2005. Does anyone know an easy way to easily use Parameters in RS2005 while still using AS2000?

Hello,
i have a small problem with the data sources in the reporting services, maybe you can clarify the situation... I have a MS CRM 3 solution with the reporting services 2005 installed. From an other vendor we have a arcplan solution on the 2000 analysis services. I would like to get access from the 2005 reporting services to the 2000 cube. Is this possible? Ive read that the SSMS cant connect to the 2000 cubes. Can i connect from the reporting services??
thank you

I am trying to import Access reports using Visual Studio 2005 and Access 2007. SQL Server 2005 with Reporting Services is also installed. I select Reports in the Solution Explorer and then Import Reports... Microsoft Access and browse to my Access database. After I select the database I see it open briefly as if it is trying to import the reports but then Access quickly closes and a error pops up: "You already have the database open." I have checked and double checked and the database is not open. I have even tried several different databases and the same errror occurs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
I'm trying to make some reports using the sql 2005 reporting services addin for Visual Web Developer Express 2005. I download the add-in here. So far it installed "successfully". The problem i have is when i try to add a datasource to the report at "Report > Data Sources... " it gives me an error saying: "The system cannot find the file specified."
Another Error it gives is that when I try to drag a DataSet field from the Website Data Sources toolbox tab the visual web developer crashes :/.
An observation that I don't know if this is ok is when I create a new Data Source it creates an App_Code folder inside where my report is /Reports/ and there it saves the DataSet. Just an observation...
This is my development enviorment:
Laptop:
Windows Vista Home Premium (Up to date)
Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005 with Service Pack 1
Reporting Add-In for Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005 Express
Server:
Microsoft Windows Server 2003
IIS 6.0
ASP.NET 2.0
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express
Reporting Services for SQL Server 2005 Express
Here are some pictures of the erros:
Error 1
Error 2
Please could someone help me fix this?
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I want to get data from Oracle 10g Stored procedure to Reporting Services 2005. I could pass a SQL text and get a record set, but I want to execute a store proc and get the record set.
1. Add New Data Source
2. Choose Type : Oracle and connection tested OK
3. { call Test_Package.Test_Procedure(?) } is it wrong... how to write???
There is an error in the query. ORA-00911: invalid character
Also make sure that you use the text-based generic query designer (2 panes !) instead of the visual query designer (4 panes) - you can switch between them through an icon on the toolbar in the data view of report designer.
Question : I tried many methods but unable to solve it...
create or replace
PACKAGE Test_Package
AS TYPE Test_Type IS REF CURSOR RETURN Test_Table%ROWTYPE;
END Test_Package;
create or replace PROCEDURE Test_Procedure (
Test_Cursor IN OUT Test_Package.Test_Type,
Test_Parameter IN Test_Table.ID%TYPE
)
AS
BEGIN
OPEN Test_Cursor FOR
SELECT *
FROM Test_Table WHERE Test_Table.ID >= Test_Parameter;
END Test_Procedure;
The below site gave some example but i could not solve it... any suggestions greatly appreciated...

My team is using TFS for work item management and I'd like to provide a week schedule matrix that displays:
- weekdays on the x-axis
- persons on the y-axis
- and the assigned workitems in the cell.
This works fine if there's only one WIT (work item) per day but some WIT's are shorter and thus the resource is assigned more than one a day. My dataset may return something like this:
Date Person WIT
28/3 Mark Task1
28/3 Mark Task2
28/3 Hank Task3
29/3 Mark Task2
29/3 Hank Task3
In this case I'd like the matrix to look something like this, i.e. the two tasks Task1 and Task2 in the same cell:
Mark Hank
28/3 Task1 Task3
Task2
29/3 Task2 Task3
I've set up the matrix in the report but I only get the first item per day to show.
Mark Hank
28/3 Task1 Task3
29/3 Task2 Task3
The default definition in the cell was "=First(Field!TaskName.Value)", so I figured I'd solved the issue by changing it to "=Field!TaskName.Value", but it didn't.
...any idéas??
I'm using Report Builder to create a new report. The problem I'm having is that once I choose a Field from an Entity in the Entities list I can only choose Fields from that Entity. For example, I have two Entities, one called Customers and the other called Delivery. Within the Customer Entity I have several Fields that I want to add to my report, say First Name and Last Name. From the Delivery Entity I have a Status Field which I'd like to include but because I have no way to get back to my Entities list, without removing the Fields from my Report, I can't include that Field.
If I remove the Fields from my report, the Entities list then populates with both the Customers and Delivery Entities, THEN I can choose my Delivery Entity and select the Status Field. But I can't get back to the Customer Entity. I keep going back and forth.
I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing wrong, or if there is a more efficient manner to accomplish what I'm trying to do.
Thanks.

Hi!
What I'd like to do is:
UPDATE table1
SET
A_TEXT_COLUMN = (SELECT another_text_column
FROM table2
WHERE table2_id = @precomputed_id_1)
WHERE table1_ID = @precomputed_id_2
Since the cells are text, this does not work. Since the cell to be updated is in an already exitant row, it's not possible to simply use insert.
I'd like to do something like (PSEUDOcode):
WRITETEXT(table1.A_TEXT_COLUMN, READTEXT(@textptr_initialised_to_point_at_target_c ell))
But the *actual* synatx of WRITETEXT and READTEXT seem totally inappropriate for any such trick...
Any hints or pointers HUGELY appreciated... THANX
Hi,
I'm working with MRS and I've got a table with a lot of entries. For each value in the table I'm trying to get the text colour to be set to 'red' when the value of the cell is less than 0. Otherwise remain black.
I can do this by setting the colour property cell by cell. But I have a lot of cells in the table. Is there a way to set the statement to apply to ALL cells in the table?
Basically I'm asking if there is a way to set the property in bulk instead of going through tediously cell by cell.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
I am trying to learn Reporting Services using the title "MS SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services Step by Step" by Stacia Misner and Hitachi Consulting, published in 2006. I am experiencing problems with some of the exercises. I got as far as Chapter 4 when I followed directions to create a SQL statement to define a query string for a dataset. Pg 80:
select * from vProductProfitability
where year = 2003 and
MonthNumberOfYear = 1
The view vProductProfitability does not exist in the tutorial database that came with the book, rs2005sbsDW. The result of this query is the basis for the entire chapter on developing basic reports and I'm being denied a learning opportunity because the view does not exist. In short, I'm stuck.
I have tried to find somewhere at Microsoft to place this question and get some answers so I can continue thru the tutorial. To no avail. Does anyone have any suggestions?
BTW, the solution that came in the CD is also wrong because the query noted above is also in the solution.
This humble grasshopper seeks wisdom.
