Different Behavior Between VS And IE In Rendering Reports With Fixed Headers And A Document Map
Aug 6, 2006
I apologize in advance if this is something already addressed elsewhere (if so - please point me in that direction).
I have created a really simple report that allows 'drill-down' at the group level. To this report I also selected the 'Repeat header rows on each page' and 'Header should remain visible while scrolling' features and all worked as expected after deploying.
I then added a Document Map referencing the group level and that too worked within the VS environment. VS displayed a page that contained the requested group in plain view and I could 'drill down' as expected.
But when I deployed the report and subsequently pulled it up in IE I noticed a slightly different behavior in that when selecting an entry from the document map, the start of that group got hidden behind the fixed header such that what was visible was perhaps 1 or 2 group records down. I had to scroll up to see the start of the group I had selected from the document map and then drill down from there.
Removing both the "Repeat header..." and "Header should remain ...." allows me to select a group from the document map (which is always at the top) - but in doing so I lose the fixed header feature.
In the preview view in Visual Studio, I can see all of the items in my document map (over 100 labels). After deployment, only the first 30 items are displayed and I can not scroll down to see the missing items. Is this a known bug? is there any workaround?
My problem is specific to the ReportViewer control. The report displays correctly in every other way (ssrs server viewer, visual studio preview, visual studio 'Run', etc)The aspx page hosting the control has two controls, the reportviewer control (assembly 10.0.0.0), and a scriptmanager control asyncrendering = 'true' and processingmode = 'remote'.So the columns are not 'always visible' with the reportviewer but they are with every other renderer that i've tried.
The report i'm testing is just a simple table with a couple groupings (built using the wizard). To enable the fixed headers I went to the groupings view and changed the "FixedData" property of the first Static member to true per instructions.
After exporting the report the column headers in the rreport should not scroll, it has to fix with report headers. If i move the column headers to report header the columns are merging in excel, some columns are hiding.
For ex: I have 10 columns, it has to take from A to K but it is taking A to P. one column is occupying two columns. how to avoid this merging and how to place the column headers in the report header.
I have a report that has three levels of grouping including headers (containing titles) and footers (containing summary values). I would like to programatically show/hide these header/footer sections based on a Show/Hide paramter. Is that possible? Currently I work around the problem by just having two physical reports (one with the header/footers, one without)
This displays the parameter bar and the view report button. When pressing the view report button, the report is automatically rendered into HTML 4.0. Is there a way to use the existing parameter bar and automatically render the report to a different extension (such as PDF) when the parameters are entered and the View Report Button is pressed.
We're using Reporting Services for lots of different reports at the moment. Some of these reports are quite big with thousands of pages. To speed them up I'd prefer using snapshots, but if I do so, it is necessary to defined a default-set of report parameters.
Unfortunately most of the reports parameters are query based, therefore I cannot choose a default parameter set for startup. If I start one of my reports it always displays the whole bunch of data and it is rendered immediately after clicking the link.
I have two ideas how this problem can be solved, but I don't know if MSSQL Reporting Services supports my ideas
1) Suppress automatic rendering on report startup somehow. Is it possible to set a parameter somewhere to suppress this "feature" ?
2) Use query based parameters to limit the default startup parameters to only a subset of the available data
I've been playing around with local reports for a while now. Trying to convert alot (about 800) reports made in a custom format(not XML) to the .RDLC used in MS Reports. I've been able to solve most converting problems by first figuring out how to make the different appearances of the report editor and testing, and afterwards implementing these in my converter program and testing until it makes the desired appearance on screen. Unfortunately I haven't been able to design all the reports similar to the originals(with the editor), so I was hoping somone here might be able to help me with this.
I'm trying to make a box around my table(the repeating part in the body) but find it kind of hard to do this. There are alot of data and the box should be on every page(I really hope this is possible).
I have made a simple report with a header and footer. In the header I have some textboxes and a horizontal line at the bottom. In the footer I have a horizontal line at the top, and som text at the bottom. This was intended for making the top and bottom lines in my 'box'. The rest of the box is made from two vertical lines, one on each side of the table in the body area of the report. These go down from the top of the body to the bottom.
The height of the header is 1 cm, the height of the body is 24.7 cm and the height of the footer is 4 cm making a total of 29.7cm (standard A4 paper height). Hope someone can help me solving this.
I have a table with 3 columns (ID Int , Name Varchar(25), Course Varchar(20))
My source data looks like below
ID     Name       Course 1       A              Java 1       A              C++ 2       B               Java 2       B              SQL Server 2       B               .Net 2       B                SAP 3       C                Oracle
My Output should look like below...
ID     Name      Course(1)    Course(2)        Course(3)    Course(4) Â
1       A                Java           C++ 2       B                Java           SQL Server .Net            SAP 3       C                Oracle
Basically need t-sql to Convert non fixed rows to non fixed columns...
Rule: IF each ID and Name have more than 1 course then show it in new columns as course(1) course(2)..Course(n)
Create SQL:
Create table Sample (ID Int null , Name Varchar(25) null, Course Varchar(20) null)
Insert SQL:
INSERT Sample (ID, Name, Course) Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â VALUES (1,'A','Java'), Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â (1,'A','C++'), Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â (2,'B','Java'), Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â (2,'B','SQL Server'), Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â (2,'B','.Net'), Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â (2,'B','SAP'), Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â (3,'C','Oracle')
Hi, this is probably a simple question but I just can't figure it out. I'm using SQL Server Reporting Services 2005 sp1.
I'm trying to design a report that displays a particular embedded image on the first page, and then a different one on every subsequent page. I.e full, fancy company logo on the first page, and a trimmed down version on every other. In Crystal, I would have simply used the Report Header and Page Header sections to achieve this - easy.
However, in SQL Reporting Services, there is only a Page Header section - therefore whatever I place in the Page Header shows on every page. Now, I know how to stop it displaying on the first page, but I don't know how to display the other image instead.
I read in a support forum that it is possible to do this by "placing report items above or below your data regions" but I can't get it to work.
First of all, this is not in reference to using SRS (SQL Reporting Services) to render a report and then use one of the extensions to render the complete report as a pdf, tiff, excel etc. We have an opportunity to render a list of claims and then embed the supporting docs for each of the claims within the report. We don't have an issue referencing jpg and gif images via URLs and then rendering them within the report after the grid information. We do have an issue rendering tiff images within the report.
You can insert an image object into SRS at design time and have it render and you can convert a complete report to a tiff image but I cannot find a way to be able to render a tiff image when running the report. All you get is the red "x".
My question is has anyone encountered the same issue and, if so, what did you do to resolve the issue?
I'm no dummy when it comes to this stuff but for the life of me I can't figure out how (if it is possible) to get column headers to go when exporting data. Here is the syntax I'm using:
It spits out the file fine. This is all built with dynamic SQL and needs to email the file which is does perfectly. My only problem is that there are no headers which I can't have. Any suggestions?
Hello SQL Server Experts, Data Analysts, and Report Writers et al:
re: Reporting Options with SQL Server
I wanted to propose an offshoot to the pryor thread:
Would anyone take a stab at comparing Access Reports, Crystal Reports, Cognos or other options to all the Reporting Services and its components offered as part ofSQL Server, especially as to extracting data from SQL Server into a report format?
I guess this is a far as capabilites, ease of use, limitations, and especially formatting or presentation of the end report product?
Thank you to all, and I hope this is a beneficial discussion to others.
I have an already published application running several MS SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services report. I need a way to find from either the reporting services log or the application server (IIS) logs or windows log to know the frequency of each report being used.
Based on this info, the business needs to know which reports are being used and to what extend? How can I acheive this?
I have already got the IIS logs and it did not give the required info. I have looked into the Reporting Services logs but it does not provide the info either.

Does anyone know how to incorporate header and trailer info in the text output from a DTS task. The SQL I'm using in the task works well when outputting to a text file on the server. However, when trying to incorporate header and trailer info the process fails. I tried doing it using SQL but the DTS transformation process is looking for fields to transform when I'm trying to output a 3 line header and 2 line trailer with the output rows in between. Has anyone done this before? Your help would be greatly asppreciated.
Here is an example of the SQL that fails:
*** Trying to get header info here *** select 'Header' select 'filename.txt' select convert(char(11),getdate(),101)
*** Main SQL runs here *** select a.field1, a.field2, ...
from tblA a JOIN tblB b ON b.someid = a.someid JOIN tblC c ON c.someid = a.someid
where a.someval >= '2003'
*** Trying to get trailer info here *** select 'Trailer' select '' select count(id) FROM tblA
I wanted to show header titles for each group of accounts. Ho would I be able to do that. The query that I have right now is:
select * from apcopah where substring(ap_control_acct, 1, 4) = '1624' and date_vendor_inv >= '2001-08-01' or substring(ap_control_acct, 1, 4) = '1631' and date_vendor_inv >= '2001-08-01' or substring(ap_control_acct, 1, 4) = '1632' and date_vendor_inv >= '2001-08-01'
How do I put information only at the top of a page and have it change whenever a group occurs.
I want to do something like this. Have this on the top of every page:
Country: current country
State: current state
City: current city
There is a group on country, state and city. Whenever city changes the next page will display a new city. Whenever state changes the next page will display the new state in the header.
I have already put Country, State, and City into their own group headers. However, if either of them change in the middle of the page then the group header repeats. I have group header repeat on so I can see it on each page. If I choose the Page break at start then it breaks but I don't want it to break. I want it to run on the same page if it passes a group and then have the next page display relevant information for the group.
Putting it in the table header works as far as keeping them all on the top of the page but it doesn't change when a grouping ends.
I€™m trying to find a way to export all data from a table in to a csv file with a header. I€™m not concerned at this point with dynamic headers (that would be nice but at this point I€™m not picky). I would just like to find a way to programmatically drop a table to a csv file. use tempdb go create view vw_csvexport as select '"' + convert(varchar(50), Name) + '"', '"' + convert(varchar(50), ID) + '"' from TestHeaderTable union all SELECT top 100 percent Name = '"' + name + '"', ID = '"' + convert(varchar(50), ID) + '"'
FROM TestDataTable go
DECLARE @bcpCommand varchar(2000)
SET @bcpCommand = 'bcp tempdb..vw_export out c: est002.txt -c -T -S SERVER'
EXEC master..xp_cmdshell @bcpCommand
I get this error when I run this query Create View or Function failed because no column name was specified for column 1.
If I€™m going about this the completely wrong direction let me know so I can get heading the right direction to get this done.
I am having a matrix element in my report with two row groups and one column group. In column group i have the month names from jan to dec. I want the headers to be sorted on these month names.
Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sept Oct Nov Dec
RG1 RG2 X X X X X X X X X X X X
RG2 X X X X X X X X X X X X
RG1 RG2 X X X X X X X X X X X X
RG2 X X X X X X X X X X X X
RG1 RG2 X X X X X X X X X X X X
RG2 X X X X X X X X X X X X
RG1 RG2 X X X X X X X X X X X X
RG2 X X X X X X X X X X X X
RG1 RG2 X X X X X X X X X X X X
Here X is the measure. I want if the user click on Jan the measure values should be sorted in the Jan column and similarly for all the months.
I'm new to Reporting Services, but am familiar with other reporting tools. My question is, is there really no way to reference a field in a page header? If so, I suppose you could repeat some header information on subsequent pages from the detail section of the report using a text box, but how is that done because when I check the property box "Repeat report item with data region on every page" nothing happens. What is the best way to repeat header information on every page that needs to contain field values/information?
would have a result set like (this is not an exact result from analyser)
empname empsalary ----------- ------------ Imran 5000 Raja 5000 Ram 8000
But I was wondering if I could somehow make it display
Imran 5000 Raja 5000 Ram 8000
I actually implementation of this is something vast, but I have illustrated a very simple example to explain what I want to achieve. Might seem a very simple 1 line solution, but I haven't been able to find it. .If ther is any documentation that might help please reply and point me to that..
Could someone describe to me how to have headers remain visible while scrolling in a matrix? I can do this in a table without a problem but can't seem to find this option for a matrix.
I am developing a matrix report in SRS. In columns group there are several values. When report runs they apper in any order based on the first record in row group. I want colums to apeear in specific order all the time. For example the column sequence in one out put is Follwup 1, Initial , Followup 2. I want to column header to be in order of Initial, Folloup 1, Followup 2. Can someone help?
It extends along a fair number of pages, and I'm currently using the "# of columns = 3" in the Report properties --> Layout section in order to make it span over 3 columns instead of the usual 1. I'm using a table in which the random info fields are the repeating values, and the Field 1,2,3,4,etc are included in the list control, but not part of the physical table itself.
My question stems from a couple of chunks of data which basically extend over the course of 1.5 pages (yep. There's enough to fill about 4.5 columns worth.)
I currently have
Field 1 RandomInfo50 RandomInfo100
RandomInfo1 RandomInfo51 RandomInfo101
Randominfo2 RandomInfo52 RandomInfo102
etc.... etc.... etc....
-----NewPage----
RandomInfo150 Field 2
Randominfo151 NewRandomInfo1
RandomInfo152 NewRandomInfo2
etc...
What I'm looking to do is have "Field 1" appear at the top of each column whenever a larger chunk of data forces itself into multiple columns, or even multiple columns on multiple pages. I have this nasty feeling it's something silly and blatantly obvious I'm missing...
