I would like to be able to put custom annotations on charts. Specifically I have a line chart I want to annotate. I don't want to indicate all plot points, just areas of interest. For example, on one of our line charts there is a value for a week (weeks are the x-Axis) that is way out of whack with other weeks. I would like to be able to display only that value, circle that location on the chart and create a custom note so that when the report displays, all users can see it.
All I've been able to find that I can customize on SRS line charts is to add all plot points and be able to change their shape and color and font size. I want to be able to do way more than that with annotations. Is it possible? I have .NET programming abilities so I'd be willing to write code to do it, I just can't find any examples of how I can write custom code to do things like this.
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?
I need some help regarding Custom Colors implementation for Charts in the Reporting Services.
What we are trying to do is to make every color for every Series(see example below) to be a customized Corporate color.
For example each of the series on the Chart should be in specific Custom Color:
Series 1 - "LightBlue" Series 2 - "LightYellow"
Series 3 - "DarkBrown"
All I found from MSDN is how to do it in the Chart Properties in a Code section (right click on the report outside the chart -> Properties -> Code tab -> paste the Custom Code ).
And then to use it in the Chart color definition as:
Code Snippet=Code.GetColor( Series# )
But we are trying to do it in a separate C# class that would be updated only in one place, instead of changing 30 reports each time something is changed. So that it could be generic.
The C# class:
Code Snippet
namespace CustomColorPalette
{
public class CustomPalette
{
public CustomPalette()
{
}
public static string GetColor(string GroupingValue)
Error 303 [rsCompilerErrorInCode] There is an error on line 2 of custom code: [BC30451] Name 'CustomColorPalette' is not declared. c:developmentvoyagerreportsvoyager convert reports.rootvoyager convert reportsReport_007D.rdl 0 0
2.
Second way I tried:
Then I put a code into a Custom Code section of a report:
And after compilation I am getting an error like this:
Error 302 [rsCompilerErrorInExpression] The BackgroundColor expression for the chart €˜chart2€™ contains an error: [BC30456] 'X' is not a member of 'ReportExprHostImpl.CustomCodeProxy'. c:developmentvoyagerreportsvoyager convert reports.rootvoyager convert reportsReport_007D.rdl 0 0
Is there any workaround? Or all I can do is to make the Custom Colors manually in each report, and if something need to be changed - I will need to change it in each report separately
I am doing a project where I heed to extract data from a table in a sql server and then automatically create a bar chart with this data preferrably in PowerPoint (or excel). I was thinking myself that it may be done in vba/macro added to a button in powerpoint. If anyone knows how to do this i would be very grateful or if anyone know a useful website could they post it up.
i wanna give comments in my data flow and control flow. annotations are coming for only one line. its going long, if i press enter also its not coming in the next line! any solution?
also give me some shortcuts for auto size and auto align!
I would like to report what appears to me to be a bug. I found it while researching an answer for another thread. http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=554926&SiteID=17
Since that thread has not received any further replies I thought I would start a new one to see what answer we can get from MS as well as if anyone else would care to reproduce.
The bug is not a major one and the work around is easy, but it can be annoying.
The bug is this: if I open an SSIS package in BIDS (RTM or SP1) and the only change I make is adding or modifying an annotation and then click on Save and then close BIDS does not save the new annotation or changes made to existing annotations. If I change something other than an annotation then BIDS does save the annotations with the package.
A careful observer will notice that when opening a package and then modifying or adding an annotation that BIDS does not even register that the package has been changed. This is evident by the lack of the trailing asterisk in the title bar after the package name.
In summary if I go into a package for the sole purpose of adding and/or modifying annotations they will not get saved. Workaround: modify something else in the package and then save.
I'd like to find where can I change the fonttype for annotations done in Control Flow. I mean, every time that I do that appears the one I chose by default TIA
Is there a way to strip out the annotations from a dtsx package. I'm looking at quite a few and would like to automaticly pull those out and store them somewhere in either a table or a text file.
Is this possible or am I going to have to hand copy them out?
I am creating a custom transformation component, and a custom user interface for that component.
In my custom UI, I want to show the custom properties, and allow users to edit these properties similar to how the advanced editor shows the properties.
I know in my UI I need to create a "Property Grid". In the properties of this grid, I can select the object I want to display data for, however, the only objects that appear are the objects that I have already created within this UI, and not the actual component object with the custom properties.
How do I go about getting the properties for my transformation component listed in this property grid?
version SQL Server 2005 SP2 table in SQL Server 2000 (80) compatibility level publication in SQL Server 2000 compatibility level - Distributor : SQL Server 2005 SP2 - Subscriber : SQL Server 2000 SP4 + hotfixes (version 8.00.2187)
There is only one article in our publication (a simple table with a GUID and a nvarchar(50) columns), and we have left the default resolver.
1 - The first synchronization of the subscription is successfully completed, and it is the same for the different updates/inserts/deletes or conflicts.
2 - Then we change the Resolver of our article by our own COM-Based Custom Resolver (developped in C# 2.0). This resolver only change the default behaviour: the subscriber always win (this is for a test, in the future we will have a complex business logic). All the synchronizations works fine and do what we want in the conflicts.
3 - We rollback the resolver to the default one... and here is the problem! The synchonizations stop to work correctly. For all of them we've got the same error:
It is no more possible to synchronize this subscription... Any remark will be helpfull cause we did not find anything on the net concerning this error.
What I want to accomplish is that at design time the designer can enter a value for some custom property on my custom task and that this value is accessed at executing time.
I am writing a custom task that has some custom properties. I would like to parameterize these properties i.e. read from a varaible, so I can change these variables from a config file during runtime.
I read the documentation and it says if we set the ExpressionType to CPET_NOTIFY, it should work, but it does not seem to work. Not sure if I am missing anything. Can someone please help me?
In the Editor of my custom task, under custom properties section, I expected a button with 3 dots, to click & pop-up so we can specify the expression or at least so it evaluates the variables if we give @[User::VaraibleName]
I'm using DTS in Sql Server 2000 for the first time, and would like to create Ad-Hoc reports with Pie/Charts and graphs. Is this possible in SQL Server/DTS, or would I need something like Cyrstal Reports?
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...
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
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!)
I have a pie chart which is been populated from a sproc.
and for a particular fund the values that generate are 78%,20% and 2% respectively.
And when it generates a chart the pie chart is uniformly displayed... Like for eg.. its been broken into 3 parts and there isnt a difference between the 78% and the 2% so ... How can i get the pie chart to be a displayed according to its values..
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.
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):
(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!
I'm having problem with Charts any good website or books i can read up on just can't anything good on charts I need to use 2 pie chart and 1 bar chart but i can't get it to work like i wanted to
I'm not sure what Series and Category is used and how to stack the fields in the Charts
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 ?
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.
