There is no conditional color formatting for Report Builder.
Is there any way to have it - write plug-in for example.
I tried to "hack" rdl file the RB produces:
but it didn't work.
Also, I hear that Microsof is about to issue a fix for it (SSRS 2005). Is it true?
Thank you
Hi all!
I would like to know if Conditional Formatting in Report Builder is supported in Service Pack 2 CTP.
Thanks for your time.
Hi all
I need Report Builder to format Certain Numbers
as Currency by default. According to the documentation
I need to set the culture setting in the report's datasource.
I'm using a SSAS2005 Cube
The Report Manager then let's me create the Model wich is used
by Report Builder.
My Question is: Where do I set the culture setting?
I cannot find it in the Cube and viewing the model's xml hasn't helped.
Any help will be dearly appreciated

Hi everyone,
I have created a view from the exisiting table to use in the report builder model and in the table whenever there is a null(when users does not enter a date for this particular field in the application) for datetime field either of these 2 ("1/1/1753" and "12/31/9999") dates are stored . Since I am creating my views based on these tables these dates will be in my views as well. Checking for this at the application level and cleaning up is not a option for me at this time.
So what I am trying to do is to check for these values and replace it with Null or blank in the model designer expression property. So that when user creates a report using this field they will not see these sql standard dates.
I tried using conditional IF in Model designer .
EX:
IF(Next MCR Review Date = 1/1/1753,EMPTY,Next MCR Review Date)
IF(Next MCR Review Date = 1/1/1753,NULL,Next MCR Review Date)
Both of these gives me errors.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong and also are there any other ways to get to what I want.
I have already spent a lot of time digging for documentation but no luck any help is appreciated.
Thanks a Lot

Hi,
Does anyone know how to implement conditional formatting with three criteria (e.g. If a value is <83 then BGcolour Green, between 83 and 90 the BGcolour is Yellow, greater than 90 the BGcolour is green).
I have tried approaching it in two ways. One was with a case statement as follows:
CASE
WHEN TargetPer < 83 THEN 'Red'
WHEN TargetPer >= 83 AND TargetPer < 90 THEN 'Yellow'
WHEN TargetPer >= 90 THEN 'Green'
END AS BGColor
TargetPer being the value i wish to examine. I returned this in the query dataset i am using to populate the report. I then used the following expression to set the backgroundcolor property:
=Fields!BGColor.Value
Unfortunately I get no yellow fields for the appropriate values (even though the BGcolor value says yellow!!!)
The other approach i have used is the following expression to set the background colour
=IIf(Fields!TargetPer.Value>90,"Green",IIf(Fields!BGColor.Value>=83 and Fields!BGColor.Value <=90, "Yellow","Red"))
For this i still have no yellows just reds and greens!
I am using a matrix report that has subgroups on the columns for table!
Any ideas anyone????
Thanks

I have created couple report through report builder which using AS cube as the data source. Every time when I try to access the New Subscription from the web UI. It complains about "Subscriptions cannot be created because the cedentals used to run the report are not stored, or if a linked report, the link is no longer valid.".
So I went into "Properties" -> "Data Source" and use the custom data source. I've selected "Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services" and put in the following Data Source=SQLTEST;Initial Catalog="Data Warehouse AS". I've select "Crednetials stored securely in the report server", using my Windows login and password.. and I've got the following error.

Hi,
When i select datasource in Report Builder, i am able to see all the available DataSources.
Eg: I have selected one datasource from the list and which has 3 tables(table1, table2, table3) associated to that datasource.
when i drag and drop table1 fields to report, i am not able to see the other 2 tables(table2 & table3)
Is there any property or relationship do i need to maintain?
Thanks,
SR.
I have RS 2005 SP1. I have a report model developed and deployed.
I have a scenario and I am not sure if it is possible to create a report for this scenario using the report builder. Let's say I have a customers entity and address entity that is related to the customer's entity as a 1-many relationship. I have the effective date on the address that specifies the date from which the address is effective. A customer will have multiple records in address with the latest effective date as the latest address of the customer.
Suppose, I need to create a report using the report builder to get the list of latest address for customers, how can I do it? I know it can be done using the report designer using a query that uses the group by clause. But can it be done using report builder?
Thanks in advance.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to write an expression that will evaluate 2 fields. So, in simple terms, I want the following:
if field1 > 0 and field2 = "yes", apply formatting, otherwise leave formatting as is.
I am familiar with using iif statements, but since I want to evaluate 2 fields instead of one, I'm not sure how to proceed.
It seems I may need to use another statement, such as the Switch statement...I just don't know how.
Thanks for any help!

hu guys,
I am trying to change the colour of the background of each row in a table depending on the month it is.
I have tried putting the expression
=IIF(Datepart("month",Fields!AppDate.Value) = Datepart("month",Now) ,"Green","Red")
in the backgroundcolor forthe table row, but it doesn' work.
do you have any suggestions ? or can see why this isn't working?
kind regards

Hi,
I have a report as such:
dataset:
select s.supplier, i.item, p.price, i.[type],i.origin,i.unit
from pricelist p,item i,suppliers s
where p.item = i.pkey and p.supplier = s.pkey
and a matrix that has
row groups; item,type,origin,unit
column groups : supplier
and price as detail.
this has been achieved
example:
freshegg bestdeal freshmarket
Eggs small lo ea 1 2 2
now i want minimum price to be highlighted.
the minimum price on that row to be for example red.
I am currently trying in color properties set it like this:
=IIf(Fields!price.Value = Min(Fields!price.Value, "matrix1_unit"),"DarkRed","Black")
where matrix1_unit is the last row group,
but this is not working right,
Anyone has some directions?
thanks.
I have the following code in the color property of a textbox. However, when I run my report all of the values in this column display in green regardless of their value.
=SWITCH(Fields!Wrap.Value >= 3, "Red", Fields!Wrap.Value < 3, "Green")
I already tried =iif(Fields!Wrap.Value >= 3 , "Red", "Green") and got the same results.
Is it because this is a matrix report? What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance . . .
Hi, Running RS2005 (was running RS2000 on same system)
When trying to run Report Builder I am getting the following error;
Report Execution Error
The report might not be valid or the server could not process the data.
An attempt has been made to use a rendering extension that is not registered for this report server.
Anyone come across this error before?

I have an SSRS report that I want to use conditional formatting on. When the value of the cell = 0, I want the background yellow, and the font red. For the background, I have:
=IIF(Fields!reads.Value = 0, "Yellow","White")
For the font color, I have
=IIF(Fields!reads.Value = 0,"Red", "Black")
The issue is that the background one is working properly, while the font one is not. If the value = 0, the font is invisible. The value is present in the report (I can export to excel and see it just fine). If I change both the background and font to the defaults, the value is STILL invisible.
Hi Everyone,
I am trying to hide a column in a matrix table. I have no trouble using conditional formatting to control the visibility of the column, but when I hide the column the main row in the matrix does not shrink. Therefore, I have a big gap€¦ My thought was to use conditional formatting to control the column width of the main matrix row. Listed below is the expression that I used. Can anyone help me with the error message or recommend a better solution?
=IIF(Fields!FiscalYear.Value = IIF(Month(TODAY()) = 10-12,Year(TODAY()) ,Year(Today())-1), 0.625in, 0.25in) cannot be parsed as a unit because it does not contain numeric values. Examples of valid unit strings are "1pt" and ".5in".

I have a column that contains either a test score or the state abbreviation where the student passed a particular test. I want the text to be red between 100-159, green greater than or equal to 160 and black otherwise.
This is what I've tried to take care of the scores:
=IIf(Fields!Score.Value <= 159 and Fields!Score.Value > 100,"Red", "Green")
Two issues:
I want all other scores (< 100) to be Black and
I'm not sure how to deal with the state abbreviations. I'm assuming this is why I receive this error:
[rsRuntimeErrorInExpression] The Color expression for the textbox €˜Score€™ contains an error: Input string was not in a correct format.
Preview complete -- 0 errors, 1 warnings
All data is stored as varchar.
I am trying to format a background color based on the field's value. But the expression always returns the false result.
Here is the expression I am using
=iif(Me.Value="RSB","Red","Blue")
I have also tried
=iif(ReportItems("Type").Value="RSB","Red","Blue")
Both fill the background color blue when the textbox clearly contains RSB. I'm not sure why it cannot find the value. The field data type is Char(4). The textbox values are all uppercase.
This all started when I was trying to use a report parameter for conditional formatting and I realized that it wasn't working. I broke down the expression by directly trying a value.
Any thoughts?
I have a report that when the user drills down I need to change the formatting to include borders and/or colours. I tried adding the following statement to top border of the element without luck. Since I don't know when the detail is the last line of the drop down, I am uncertain how to try adding it there.
I do not want the underline to show when there is no expanded drill down.
=iif((Previous(Level) > 0, "Dotted", "None")
g1 name1 total1
g1 name2 total2
d po#3a total3a
d po#3b total3b <<-- want to add underline between total3b and total3
g1 name3 total3
Thank you
I am trying to create a report which has conditional formatting.
The primary dataset is a view of objects with several values
eg
object1,0,4,0,1
object2,0,3,1,1
The secondary dataset is the comparison table and just contains the values
eg
0,3,1,1
I'd like to conditionally format the values based on the comparison table but when I create an expression comparing to the second dateset
eg
=iif(Fields!object1.Value <> Fields!comp_object1.Value , "Red", "SkyBlue")
i get
Report item expressions can only refer to fields within the current data set scope or, if inside an aggregate, the specified data set scope.
Not sure if there is a way to tell the expression to look for comp_object1 in dataset2, even tho it is uniquely named?
Ideas gratefully received !

I can get the row colors to work great with an expression, but when I try to add the gray column with conditional formatting for the Resident's Overall Satisfaction Rating question, it clobbers my row formatting. I am thinking that I will have to do some gnarly expression in each of the rows and columns using the InScope function. Does that sound about right, or is there an easier way?
Thanks, Mike
SQL Server 2000. Here's what I have so far. The section of the query I need help with is highlighted in blue.
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.GetByVersion
(
@targetVersion varchar(30),
@product varchar(50)
)
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON;
SELECT * FROM MyTable
WHERE (product = @product)
AND
CASE
WHEN @targetVersion='' THEN (targetVersion='')
ELSE (targetVersion LIKE @targetVersion + '%')
END
GO
I get a syntax error in the Stored Procedure editor on an equal sign in this line:
WHEN @targetVersion='' THEN (targetVersion='')
What I want is this (in psuedocode):
if @targerVersion is blank
search for records where the targetVersion column = blank
else
search for records where the targetVersion column starts with @targetVersion
Can anyone offer any suggestions as to how I might modify my query to do what I want? Any help is very much welcome - Thanks in advance! :-)
Hey
I've got a few questions regarding prompts on the Report builder
Can I change caption of the prompt? I intend to let the users know what kind of prompt that is, if the date they're choosing is a upper limit or a lower limit
How can I create a Between date prompt? I tried using the From..To but it disabled my option to tranform the Filter into a prompt, and from some reason it didn't let me execute report which had After and Before prompts on the same date field (tried it as some sort of work around)
I tried adding fields from a 3rd level table using the report builder, I.E, I drilled down to the 3rd connected table and I was unable to add fields ... any thoughts?
Thanks!

Hi,
I'm having a hard time getting date filters to work properly in Report Builder 2005. One of my model entites contains a datetime field called Date Opened, which corresponds to a datetime field in my database table. This is how the data looks like: 6/27/2007 11:31:52 AM, 6/27/2007 11:33:33 AM, 7/3/2007 9:24:07 AM.
1. I created an ad-hoc report and added a filter on Date Opened field, setting condition to PROMPT where Date Opened EQUALS some value. Next to EQUALS I get a dropdown list with the following values: 6/27/2007 11:31:52 AM, 6/27/2007 11:33:33 AM, 7/3/2007 9:24:07 AM. It looks like this list was generated by pulling all Date Opened values (including a time stamp) from the database. The problem comes up when I run this report and Date Opened filter limits me to choosing exact date time, when I want to see all rows for the specific date (the entire day). Is there any way to make EQUALS list not include the time stamps and show only dates, or give me a calendar control instead so I can choose the date (no time) to filter on? I noticed that if database had no existing values for Date Opened, the Equals list lets me choose a date with a calendar. I need to accomplish the same even if there are some values in the database.
2. The same setup as above. This time I choose to see all rows where Date Opened is AFTER specific date and set it to PROMPT the user. If I actually choose a default value on Filter Date dialog, run the report having picked some new value in a filter, it behaves as expected giving me all rows AFTER the date I specified. If I leave default value unspecified, run the report having picked some new value in a filter, it returns all rows on the date I specified and AFTER. In other words, it behaves like ON or AFTER. Is this a bug?
3. Same as scenario #2 above just using On or BEFORE. If I leave the default value unspecified on Filter Date dialog, run the report having picked some new value in a filter, it returns all rows before the date I specified, behaving like BEFORE rather than On or BEFORE. Is this a bug?
Any help is greately appreciated. I know we'll be getting customer calls about these issues.

Can someone verify that Report Builder is included in SQL Server 2005 Standard edition?
I have a book that says it's only included in Enterprise edition, but the following chart says it is included in Standard:
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/prodinfo/features/compare-features.mspx
I'm looking for a new way to publish reports based on OLAP data and was very disappointed to find that Reporting Services does not natively support displaying MDX query results in a matrix. While it is possible to assign an MDX query to the matrix control in Reporting Services, the two main problems are that the columns of the query must be measures (not dimensions), and it does not support display of server based formatting (fore color, back color, and font flags).
Does anyone know of any custom control that properly deals with Analysis Services data?
Thanks for any info you have!

I'm sure i will have to use the IIF function in conjunction with the InScope function.
However i'm unsure on how to isolate to the max value and make sure the Inscope function does not affect the totals.
any idea's are appreciated.

Hello,
I am having a problem trying to do some conditional formatting on the text color.
This textbox is in the Group Footer so i essentially want change the color to red if the SUM of one field in the group is less than the SUM of another field in the same group.
I am doing this:
=Iif(Sum(Fields!YTDChargeHours)< Sum(Fields!YTDForecast), "Red", "Black")
but i am getting this error:
[rsRuntimeErrorInExpression] The Color expression for the textbox €˜YTDChargeHours€™ contains an error: Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object.
Thanks in advance!
