Hi everybody,
I created a multivalue parameter in SSRS 2005 SP2, but the problem is that the width of the dropdown list is too small to fit my data (I'd like to avoid scrolling horizontally).
Is there any way to configure this?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi there,
May be a kind of dumb question, but I have a multi-value parameter that I would like to give users the ability to select from in a SSRS 2005 Report and I was wondering if there was a way to adjust the width of the drop down so the user wouldn't have to scroll horizontally to see a full parameter item. It looks like it cuts off after about 30 characters.
Any help here would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I have a multivalued drop down menu that isn't wide enough to display the entire label. It only displays about half of the label. The text it is trying to display should look like "Global Zone 1 - Global Zone 2 - Global Zone 3 - Global Zone 4", and the only visible text is "Global Zone 1 - Global Zone2". It does have a scroll bar at the bottom, but it is ridiculous.
When I set it to not be multivalued, the drop down menu grows to the size of my label. The menu has plenty of space to grow, it is only taking up a very small amount of the screen.
Is there any way to correct this issue?
Thanks
Does anyone know how to control the width of the parameter dropdownlist? If you select "Multi-value" for the parameter (non-sp1 version) the parameter list is in a dropdownlist that is manageable in size. If you do not use the multi-value parameter, it looks like the width of the dropdownlist is determined by the width of the longest text of the returned parameters.
Is there any way to control the width of the dropdown?
Thanks

Hi,I have table (tbl_a) that get it values form three Dropdown List and the PK of this table is FK in different table(tbl_b).Since tbl_a get its values from three Dropdown List the number of rows in this table is limited to the number of combinations the three Dropdown List is offer (in any case the number of raws in that table will be final).Assuming tbl_a and tbl_b are both empty.
The problem is that if i want to insert row to tbl_b i have to check first if there is a row that holds the values (or combination of values) i am getting from the Dropdown List in tbl_a .Then, if such row is exist i have to get the PK of that raw and insert it to tbl_b (as FK),if such row does not exist, i have to insert it and then get the PK of this row and insert it to tbl_b (as FK).
In the end, tbl_a will have all the combination the three Dropdown List can offer so checking if raw exist in this table will not be necessary.
In my opinion this is not effective way to do that.Can someone offer me better way to do it?
Thanks
I have a dropdown list that is populated by two columns in a database.select (firstname+surname) AS Fullname from table where id = 'id';
It works fine but i want to know how i would get a space between the firstname and the surname because at the moment all the values come back as JoeBloggs....without any spaces

I am building a report with several search parameters; three of which are dropdown boxes each populated by a data set. I wanted something more user-friendly than the default "(Null)" in the dropdown, so for each data set, it returns a result set UNIONed with " N/A" to show up first as the default.
For some reason, when the report loads, the first dropdown populates just fine and does indeed have the default value " N/A" but the other two dropdowns are grayed-out. Until you change the first dropdown (to anything, apparently it doesn't matter what you change it to) the other two stay grayed-out. When the first is changed, the other two are populated and default to the desired " N/A" default value.
Why would it do this, when it didn't do it before; i.e. when the default for all of them was simply null. The dropdowns are not dependent on each other; they don't depend on other parameters for their values. Any help would be appreciated.
I have a web form that needs to be bilingual. It contains several dropdown lists. The "text" and "value" for each item in the dropdown list is retrieved from a database. The logic reads the database and then populates the various dropdowns with logic such as:
dim newItem as new ListItem(textString, valueString)
theDropDown.items.add(newItem)
The problem that I am having occurs when the textString needs to contains special characters such as accented vowels or an "n" with a tilde. I have tried populating the database with HTML-formatted strings such as "Avión", hoping that this would display "Avion" with an accute accent over the "o". Unfortunately it displays "Avión".
How do I get dynamically-created dropdowns to display special characters? If the answer is to simply store the special characters directly in the database, then the question becomes how do I get the special characters into the database? I tried to figure out how to write a T-SQL command such as
update tablex set SpanishName = 'Avion' where id=999
but I can't figure out the syntax to insert an accented 'o' into the string.
Thanks.
i have two columns in a "release" table that i concatenate on my aspx page into one value for my dropdown list. for example, my database columns might look likeMajor: 3 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 5Minor: 1 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 1and my drop down list text like3.1 | 3.2 | 4.1 | 4.2 | 5.1my question comes when trying to take the drop down list's selected value and splitting it back into two fields so that i can use it for another query. how can i split my "major" and "minor" version numbers back up so that i can run a query similar to:SELECT * FROM [Version] WHERE (([Major] = @Major) AND ([Minor] = @Minor))but only having the one parameter of: <asp:ControlParameter ControlID="ddlVersion" Name="Version" PropertyName="Text" Type="String" /> where the selected value has a string of "<major>.<minor>" (where the numbers are separated by a period)?

Hello,
I have an issue with connecting Excel to an analysis Services 2005 database. The computer is running Windows XP Sp2 and Office XP. I installed the oledb driver 9.0 but when I tried to connect with the pivot table and I want to create the connection, the dropdown list of the data provider is empty. I tried on another computer with Excel XP and the system is working fine.
Is there somebody that could help?
Thank you
Hi,
I am currently trying to develop an application which would help in retrieving data from cubes (Microsoft Analysis Services)! The user would not be accessing the Business Intelligence Studio, etc. but would be viewing the data from a custom made application developed in VB.Net2005.
While implementing this, I want to populate the drop-down-list in the VB(.Net) Form, by retrieving the various hierarchies in the dimensions of the cubes (along with dimensions if possible). This should be done dynamically and in real-time!
Can you please help in implementing this? Any code/method, etc would be highly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
Best wishes!

Hi,
I believe somebody know the reason. Please help me on it!
I plan to pass a multivalued parameter from my web application to the server report, and let user select the value(s) from the value set. But when I run the report, there's no checkbox leftside of the values, that means user has no choice on this parameter.
Is there any way to do it?
Thanks,
Jone
I'm working through the SSIS tutorial, and am on lesson 2.
This says
"Double-click Foreach File in Folder to reopen the Foreach Loop Editor.
Click Collection.
On the Collection page, select Foreach File Enumerator."
The drop down only contains
foreach ado enumerator
foreach ado.net schema_rowset.enumerator
foreach from variable.enumerator
foreach nodelist.enumerator
foreach smo.enumerator
How do I get the "foreach file in folder" to appear in the drop down list?

When I create a multivalue report parameter I have noticed that the multi-select list box that is created is never really wide enough for the data that I am listing in the box. Is there a way to control the width and possibly the height, of this list box either staticly or dynamicly?
Another problem that I am having is with the way a report displays from within the web browser. It seems that when a report will need to scroll to the right that it gets either cut off or there isn't a scroll bar on the first page of the report. If there is more than one page to the report I can go to the second page and then come back to the first page and the scroll bar appears.
Are there any fixes or workarounds for these problems? Or have I just not read far enough into the documentation?

Im trying to get query by selecting the month from dropdownlist and display the records .by using the below query I need to enter the date in tecxtboc then it will show the output
select Standard, Total, MonthName
from (SELECT Standard, COUNT(Standard) AS Total,
datename(month, ReportDate) as [MonthName]
FROM CPTable where
ReportDate >= @ReportDate

Our clients working with the Firefox browser on a Mac are unable to use the Multi-Value parameter drop down lists that the Report Viewer control generates. Of course I realize that the multi-select dropdown lists are not really dropdown option lists using the standard HTML select tag, but are rather tables within div tags with cells that contain spans, inputs, and labels.
Originally the report viewer displayed these lists in the wrong position within Firefox on any platform (Mac or PC). Furthermore, there were other visibility problems with those lists that made it virtually impossible to select a checkbox within the list. Fortunately, Microsoft fixed this problem with the latest version of Report Viewer, which we downloaded from the following link:
http://207.46.19.190/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=cc96c246-61e5-4d9e-bb5f-416d75a1b9ef&displaylang=en
So currently we have SQL Reporting Services Report Viewer 9.0.21022.8 installed on our web server. And the dropdown lists do appear as expected, and they work properly in Firefox on a PC.
But, when the control is rendered in Firefox on a Mac, the list is not scrollable. The scroll bar that should appear on the right-hand side of the dropdown list, which would enable users to select values toward the bottom of the list, does not appear. That scrollbar is missing in Firefox.
This is likely related to a Firefox rendering issue with the overflow:auto style. There are numerous entries on the web that indicate Firefox for Mac has a problem with overflow:auto. For example:
http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-96958.html
http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread44144.html

http://www.errorforum.com/mozilla-firefox-error/3503-will-float-mac-firefox-scrollbars-floating-pop-up-windows.html
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?query_format=specific&order=relevance+desc&bug_status=__open__&id=187435
That being the case, it seems that there should be some workaround to address this, either via a style or through some alternate control. Or perhaps there is a property that we can apply to the ReportViewer control that I'm unaware of which addresses this.
If you know of a workaround, or can suggest an alternate approach that we could implement quickly, please respond. Thanks.
I have like 100 columns and most of them work fine, but some will not work. I need to select the columns with correct width for fixed width flat file.
Here is typical SQL statment that works for most of them.
left(RTRIM(A.City) + Replicate(' ', 25) ,25) as [City]
The above one is not working, but many other works fine like the address. Why would it work for some, but not others?
It works fine if I use any char, but not space. i.e.
left(RTRIM(A.City) + Replicate('*', 25) ,25) as [City]
I have a subreport on my main report, and the subreport contains a matrix. When I run the report, the subreport seems to expand beyond the width of the main report. The matrix itself does not expand beyond the width of the body of the main report, but for some reason it seems that the subreport does. The subreport does not contain any headers that might be messing up the width. If I cut and paste the matrix from the subreport directly onto the main report, and remove the subreport, it prints fine. But as soon as I include the subreport on the main report it prints with blank pages because the subreport expands beyond the width of the body of the main report. I have checked the width and margins on the subreport and compared to the width of the main report and all looks good. Can anyone help?
Thanks.
Is there a maximum width for fixed width column?
I'm trying to read in a flat file (which, admittedly, has one very wide column), and it keeps breaking because of truncation when it tries to read in the file.
Any ideas?

Hi,
I've a report projects where each report has a number of columns and the spec is to have all the columns print-out on the same page. Is there a setting that will auto-scale these columns to fit to the page or will I have to edit the font size and widths manually on each report to fit to the page?
Thanks for any comments.
Hi,
I am trying to create a program that transfers tables to flat files.
At this point in time, I have suceeded in created one that creates delimited files.
However, I am now trying to create fixed-width files as you can do with the SSIS designer, but programatically.
Is there a way to programatically determine the width of a column from the source table? I can not seem to find any kind of function or member that stores this information or allows me to retrieve it.
I know what I need to change in order to set a width for a column, but I just don't know how to find the width without just asking the user to provide one.
Hi, everyone
There is a table t1 with two fields, such as,
ID NAME
１ Ｔｏｋｙｏ
2 Xian
3 America
For there are full-width and half-width strings in the values of the two fields, I can not select and get the right records. So I want to transform the two fields ID and NAME, I fail to find the function in the SQL Server 2005. Please give me some advice.
Thank you very much!

I have been attempting to populate a dropdown (combo) box from a SQL query (SQLConnector) in Web Matrix and I have so far been unsuccessful. I have been able to populate a DataGrid just fine from the query, so then I limited it down to one colum (so itd be in the dropdown box) and set all the properties I could find (DataSource, DataMember, DataTextField, DataValueField) (and in all possible combinations) for that dropdown box to the SQL stuff (SQLConnector for the DataSource and then used the dropdowns for the others), and nothing shows up in my dropdown box. How can I make this populate off of my SQL query properly?
Additionally I will need to do the same thing for a Checkbox List so if it is the same and you know how to do that and could let me know for that too that'd be great.
Thanks a million in advance!
Hi
Often we come across a form with a dropdown list (populated from a lookup table) with "Other" option as well. When user selected "Other" option a textbox appears where he can specify new option(This option is not to be added to master lookup table).
What is the best way to store it in database?
I have 2 columns (A and B). 'A' contains Lookup ID if some option other than "Other" is selected, else 'A' has NULL and 'B' field contains the text of Textbox.
But while reporting I face problems as in a report the selected option text (either 'A' or 'B') has to be shown under one column only but SELECT A,B results in 2 columns.
Is it possible in SQL Reporting 2005 to have dropdown menu(eg..on mouseover list of static menu appears from which i can navigate to other rdl files while passing all parameters) ..
