Designing A Report Without Dataset
Jun 12, 2007
Hello
We are trying to create an app where we pass dynamically a dataset (from our form in C#) to our {report}.rdl file.
We are having doubts about something.
How can we design the actual report if we don't have the datasource until runtime? The reason to do this is due to our complex calculations of data which becomes almost impossible to achieve in a T-SQL environment.
I know with a lot of patience and time (we don't have both) we can achieve it, but even though, we would need to process some data in the client side.
So, the question is... is it possible to design a report without a Dataset? I know we can drag the controls on the layout window, but we won't be able to test it. IS there any workaroung about this?
Thank you

I am using reporting services 2000 already for 2 years. This problem is occurring on 2-3 reports, I can't say exactly what is the reason.
How I use the report designer is pretty simple and consistent. Report data is usualy produced by calling a stored procedure (on SLQ server 2000), I have a few parameters. Some of Paramaters are dates with a default values calculated to give yesterday's date or today - 7 days. And that is the only code in the report itselft. As soon as I click on Yes/No paramater, that doesn't have default, and is int in proc and report, then complete Visual Studio Environment starts flashing, making bip-bip noise, and is blocked, no access and reponse. I can't close it for a while, I can't bring up task manager, and in general this crash is very much resource intensive, Outlook is freezing, can't open IE, new spreadsheet. I am working on windows Xp platform. Eventually I would manage to close VS thru task manager.
As soon as this report is uploaded to Report Manager, the place where all the reports are available to users, on different server, the same report works fine.
Has anyone experienced this and what would be the reason.
Thanks in advance,
Elizabeta R

Hi
Don't know if this is possible or not - Need to produce a report and the main report has a grid in it.
For every row in the main report, in one of the grid fields there are n images. So to do this, I am using a sub-report. But there is a problem with going to the database for every row to fetch images that if the user does a report spanning more than about 6 months, there will be thousands of records each with the potential to have many images and the constant round trips to the db server would probably kill it.
So what I want to achieve is to fetch the dataset in the main report with just one trip to the database and then pass the dataset filtered by a uniqueidentifier to each row of the subreport.
Could someone please let me know if this or something like it is possible and how to go about it?
Thanks
Steve

Hi !
I use ms sql server 2005, and I have a problem
I have a dataBase where I have a lot of data, I have a webServices which calculate indicator for a time period and an id indicator. The time period must be specific and choose by the user, so I can't dto automatically by integrating the data from my webService in a dataBase (with IntegrationServices).
So I create a report with 2 dataset, one which recover the indicator value for each equipment (the webService send a list of {<idEquipment> and <value>}) , and I want to link the idEquipment with the IdEquipement in my dataBase, it would allow me to know other informations about the equipment :
equipement ID | Indicator value (from webServices) | equipment name | eq number | cumul of event duration for this eq....
All in the same grid...
Does it possible ?
If it is possible with the report designer, does it possible with report builder, as report builder need a model, how can i do to make a model from 2 dataSource...
thank you for your answer...

Hello,
We are trying to convert our Crystal XI reports to SQL Reporting Services 2005. Our crystal reports get their data from ADO datasets which are populated through code at run time. Is it possible to do this in SQL Reporting Services?
The only options for a dataset seem to be query and stored procedure. When i have a blank dataset it throws an error. When i try to link my dataset to code, it throws an error.
Thanks for your help!

Hi Guys,
I just designed a report using SQL Server Reporting 2005 in which I have used two datasets. I am able to bind fields of one dataset but other dataset fields are not visible. When I try to bind the field of other dataset it gives me error that the field is not found. If I bind the field by using the Aggregate function it is bind correctly because we specify the dataset name with field in the function. But I do not want to use Aggregate function. How can I use two dataset for single report?
Waiting your response

Is there a way of previewing a report without executing the dataset? Problem is when I make changes to the layout of the report it is taking a while before the report renders.
While I am developing my reports and working on the layout, changing colours, fonts etc it would be good to have an option which uses local data only.
Is there an option like this?

Hi all,
When we use more that one datasets in report, how can we know which dataset will be executed first.
For example if we have added 2 datasets (dataset1 and dataset2) and both of them are using stored procedures.
How can we know whether dataset1 will be executed first or dataset2.
In my case I need to execute one dataset first that loads data to database tables and then want to execute second dataset that calls stored procedure that depends on table data there were filled by first dataset.
Thanks,
.....Hinesh

Hi,
Is it possible to use datatable/dataset as source to a report in Reporting Services. That is possible in e.g. Crystal Reports. I can only find Report Server Model and XML as non-database sources.
Best regards

I have many MS Access reports that process recordsets obtained from a MySQL database, based on a user-selected date range. This uses VBA and input boxes. I'm now creating .aspx pages to get the user input via the web, and am successful in creating a DataSet. My .aspx.vb code includes using Automation to open the Access report in Snapshot Viewer (DoCmd.OutputTo). How do I pass the DataSet to MS Access to replace using recordsets?
My VBA code in Access used to be this:
Code Snippet
Dim ws As Workspace
Dim strConnection As String
Dim dbs As Database
Dim rst_chg As Recordset
Set ws = DBEngine.Workspaces(0)
strConnection = "ODBC;DSN=xxx;DATABASE=xxx;" _
& "SERVER=10.1.144.xxx;" _
& "UID=xxx;PWD=xxx;PORT=xxx;OPTION=0;" _
& "STMT=set wait_timeout=100000;;"
Set dbs = ws.OpenDatabase("", True, True, strConnection)
Set rst_chg = dbs.OpenRecordset("SELECT ...")
'process the recordset ...
I'm thinking I should be able to eliminate most of this code and Set rst_chg = DataSet. I've been successful with using WriteXml in the .aspx.vb page and Application.ImportXML in my VBA to pass the data using XML, but this writes to the hard drive, and also creates a database in Access (overhead I would rather not have to deal with). Again, is there a way to open the DataSet directly in my VBA code?
Thanks,
Guy Rivers

I have a table in SQL that stores XML code in one column. I use OpenXML to parse the XML data and then I store the parsed data into a SQL temp table so I can join it with other tables in the SQL DB. My query works great in Query Analyser, but when I paste it to a DataSet there seem to be a conflict with the variables and parameters.
I have other reports that use temp tables and it works fine, so I was wordering if OPENXML is supported in a dataset.
Thanks, Susan

Trying to create a dataset for a report. I need to bring back percentage in the result set. The fields that I am using to get the percentage have valid data but the result field is 0.00%. Is there reason I cant bring back a percentage field?
Code:
SELECT JobNum, Mailed, LT_7, BT_6_10, GT_10,
Format([LT_7]/[Mailed], 'p') AS PctScaned1,
Format([BT_6_10]/[Mailed], 'p') AS PctScaned2,
Format([GT_10]/[Mailed], 'p') AS PctScaned3,

Hi Everyone,
I have used the StoredProcedure as shown below:
Begin
Select a.Field1,b.Field from table a, table b where a.patientid=@patID
if(@select=1)
select a.Field1, a.Field2 from table a
else if(@select=2)
select b.Field1, b.Field2 from table b
end
When I bind this storedprocedure with Dataset, all the Fields Corresponding to table a and table b are displayed in the Dataset.Finally, when i bind this Dataset with my chart, the fields corresponding to table b are not displayed in the Chart.
The reason for that may be because Report Server cannot bind with multiple Datasets? Please Clarify.
If the Report Server cannot bind with multiple datasets, then how to call different StoredProcedures (according to Criteria) in a Single Report in Report Server project?
Thanks

I have an image stored in a dataset that I would like to place in the page header and footer. Unfortunately dataset fields can not be placed in headers/footers.
Embedded pics in the project and/or report are NOT an option as the report must pull the image from the database. UNLESS there is a way to embed it FROM the dataset.
Normally I use =ReportItems!FieldName, but this doesn't seem to work when dealing with images.
I put the image in the header row the table holding the report information, but there are some pitfalls. Consider the following: put the Image in the top left cell of the header rows (A1) , put my Report Title in Cell (A2) and finally put =Now() in cell (B2).
When the report renders Cell (A1) has grown to accomodate the size of the image, Cell (A2) is fine, but cell (A3 - the date-) is pushed down...as expected (boooo!)
I used the following function =Fields!ReportTitle.Value & chr(10) & chr(13) & Fields!ReportDate.Value in (A2) a slick solution, but the padding is different and I need different font sizes and weights. (...almost)
I moved the image in (a1) and the rest of the fields following respecfully (B1, C1, D1...) but with parameters the header is now practically half the page (...ok so that was a bit of an stretch)
I tried the RepeatsWith property and couldn't get it to work???? Am I using it correctly? I have a table in the body of a report (table1). Above it, I place the image. In the image properties, I choose RepeatWith and select table1, I expect to see the image repeat on each page, but that is not the case. I'm probably missing a simple explanation.
I even tried to pass the image as a parameter. URRRNT! At least with my experience.
Have I exhausted all possibilities without extensive code?
All I'm trying to do is line up the Image with the report Title/date/parameter values in the HEADER making the report look pretty.
Thanks for the help...

Hi
I wonder if it is possible to create a dataset in code and then feed it to a Reporting Svcs (RS) report and have it rendered on the data from this dataset.
My collegues does this with Crystal and it would break my heart if I cant do this with (RS)...
I have tried to find a solution but so far, no luck.
Anyone have any ideas?

Hi, when I try to open up an existing report project in VS 2005 then open the report template it will guide me to the Layout tab. Once I change the tab to Data, the following error showed up with an OK button:
TITLE: Microsoft Report Designer
------------------------------
The data extension SQL was not found in the configuration file RSReportDesigner.config.
Add the extension to the configuration file before proceeding or choose another data extension.
------------------------------
I tried creating a new dataset on the Data tab, the "Command Type" section use to have 2 selection: Text and Storeprocedure type. But now the Storeprocedure type is missing. I tried uninstall VS 2005 & SQL Server 2005 Components and reinstall them the same error still occurs.
I have no idea how to solve it, anyone encounter the same problem or able to help out please do so. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to solve this issue.
I have the following MDX to retrieve specialised time related data from a cube
Code Block
SELECT NON EMPTY { { { [Measures].[% Vacancy], [Measures].[Total Square Area], [Measures].[Deliveries], [Measures].[Net Absorption] } * { [Time].[Quarter].[2007 Q1], [Time].[Quarter].[2007 Q1].lag(1), [Time].[Quarter].[2007 Q1].lag(2), [Time].[Quarter].[2007 Q1].lag(3), [Time].[Quarter].[2007 Q1].lag(4), ytd( [Time].[Quarter].[2007 Q1]), ytd( [Time].[Quarter].[2007 Q1].lag(4)),ytd([Time].[Quarter].[2007 Q1].parent.lag(1)),ytd([Time].[Quarter].[2007 Q1].parent.lag(2)) } } } ON COLUMNS ,
NON EMPTY { DESCENDANTS( [Location].[All Location], [Location].[Market] ) } ON ROWS
FROM [QMS]
WHERE ( [Overall].[Overall].&[Y] )
I can populate a table with the columns i need from the resulting dataset, however it is not dynamic. i.e.
The dataset field names come up as say,
Measures___Vacancy_Time_All_Time_2007_2007_Q1
Measures___Vacancy_Time_All_Time_2006_2006_Q4
Which i can place in the report...
But if I then want to parameterize [2007 Q1] like as follows
Code Block
="SELECT NON EMPTY { { { [Measures].[% Vacancy], [Measures].[Total Square Area], [Measures].[Deliveries], [Measures].[Net Absorption] } * { [Time].[Quarter].[" + Parameters!Quarter.Value + "], [Time].[Quarter].[" + Parameters!Quarter.Value + "].lag(1), [Time].[Quarter].[" + Parameters!Quarter.Value + "].lag(2), [Time].[Quarter].[" + Parameters!Quarter.Value + "].lag(3), [Time].[Quarter].[" + Parameters!Quarter.Value + "].lag(4), ytd( [Time].[Quarter].[" + Parameters!Quarter.Value + "]), ytd( [Time].[Quarter].[" + Parameters!Quarter.Value + "].lag(4)),ytd([Time].[Quarter].[" + Parameters!Quarter.Value + "].parent.lag(1)),ytd([Time].[Quarter].[" + Parameters!Quarter.Value + "].parent.lag(2)) } } } ON COLUMNS ,NON EMPTY { DESCENDANTS( [Location].[All Location], [Location].[Market] ) } ON ROWS FROM [QMS] WHERE ( [Overall].[Overall].&[Y] )"
so that everything is then driven from a single selected Quarter value, the table report no longer gets populated, as it has hardcoded field values such as
=Fields!Measures___Vacancy_Time_All_Time_2007_2007_Q1.Value
and if the Quarter selected is [2006 Q1] for example, this field will not exist in the dataset.
Is there a way to accomplish this? I am using SSRS 2005 against SSAS 2000 cubes

Hello all!
I have a question. I have report that have defined dataset. Can I somehow get access to data in this dataset from this report in Code section?
I need to write function that will return value from one field based on 45 parameters (they are values from 4 fields in this datset), like:
dataset fields:
RYear, RMonth, AYear, AMonth, CAtegory, Amount.
I need to get Amount based on RYear, RMonth, AYear, AMonth, Category values that I need to pass as parameters to functions.

I have a dataset that when run returns 270 rows. The table using the dataset in the report only prints the first row. I have the table grouped by a status type, but this is for when I can get multi-select paramenters installed and working. For now I just need the report to print all the returned rows. Help!!
Thanks!

I am on SQLServer 2005
I have a sp with lot of params. I checked my sp. It works fine for every param.
My dataset is using the sp. It seems to pick the field list and params, but it will not return any result. I passed the same param to the ds as I did to sp. But, the report preview seems to alternate between displaying all data irrespective of the rpt criteria or nothing.
I do not have permission to run trace on the server
Any idea how to resolve this?

I'm having a very frustrating problem that no amount of formatting via properties and/or expression seems to be clearing up.
I have a column in the dataset that is data typed decimal (6,4) (from the SQL query). The numeric value is, for example, being returned to the data set as 0.6500.
The problem is the report wants to just show zero. Formatting efforts to date have only yielded, '0', '0.00', & '0.0000'.
I have no clue. Anyone have any ideas?
