Dynamic Grouping With Report Designer

Feb 26, 2007

I've got this working -- I allow users to have 2 groups, and choose what they want to group by. I'd like to add one extra bit of functionality -- for the inner grouping, I would like my users to have the option "None" -- i.e. don't have an inner group.

I've tried setting the group expression of the second (inner) group to "" when the user chooses the "None" option but the report errors out. Any suggestions as to how to dynamically get rid of the inner group?

Thx

'Dynamic Time(year,month,date)' Report Template (rdl) Using Report Designer VS2005

Jan 19, 2007

I have three types of specific reports that i have to create with the input parameters (range) either

1: By date (rdl 1)

2.By Month (rdl 2)

3.By Year (rdl 3)

Is it possible ( or how do I ) to create just one report template ( one rdl) with the three sets of parameters ( hiding/invisible which ever two sets base on user selection) and the output of the report will display the desired type( either by year, month or date).

I ask this because its possible to create a drill down report from year down to date etc in report designer (vs 2005). Not sure if I can create one instead of three rdls and with the 'logic' built within that template.

Thanks

Regards

Report Designer Dynamic Filter

Feb 28, 2007

I have a requirement to add the ability to filter a report by partial last name, at the report level (i.e. not at the database server). In case someone else needs to work out how to do this, here is what I did.

Add a Parameter to the report. In my case it is named LastName, is non-queried, allows Null or Blank, and has a default of null.
Add a filter to the dataset that contains the field to be searched. Set its Expression to:
=IIF(Parameters!LastName.Value = System.DBNull.Value OR Parameters!LastName.Value = "",
Fields!LastName.Value, Nothing) ,
its operator to "="
and its value to =IIF(Parameters!LastName.Value = Nothing OR Parameters!LastName.Value = "", Nothing, Parameters!LastName.Value & "*")

voila!

Modifying A Report Created In Report Builder In The Report Designer.

Jun 30, 2006

After I use the report builder to create a generic report, how do I actually get that report into the report designer so that I can modify it more effectivly?



The issue that I have now is that the file on the report server is not a .rdl file and if I simply save it as one and then bring it into VS to modify it the code file is a html structure rater than a XML file type.



Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Custom Assembly Behaves Differently In The Report Designer And Report Manager

Mar 18, 2008

Hello everyone,

I created a custom assembly using C# to transform some binary data into text, and in this assembly I used one win32 dll developed by our customer to help me to do the tranformation.
The code I used to call the win32 dll is like below:
[DllImport("tdasuie.dll", EntryPoint = "AlrtLogConditionToText",
ExactSpelling = false, CharSet = CharSet.Auto, SetLastError = true)]
private static extern UInt32 AlrtLogConditionToText(Byte[] pbCondition, StringBuilder pszText, UInt32 dwSize);

I defined a C# method to call the above win32 method and return a string. Then in the report, I called this C# method to get the correct string.

In the report designer, the C# method in the custom assembly can return the correct string in the preview window. But after I deployed the report into the report server, the textbox will only display "#error" in the report manager web page.

Can anybody help me on it? Thanks a lot.

Dynamic Grouping

Feb 13, 2008


Hi All,
I have a report that can be used by two different groups of people. If a local manager runs the report the facility is set by the web application and the parameter is hidden from the user. If regional manager runs the report they can multi-select from the locations in there region. In this case I want to have a group for each location selected. I was hoping that I could just add an expression to the group to hide it base on the location parameter, however if I hide the group everything in the group is hidden as well. Is there a way to dynamically add or remove or show and hide this group and keep all the detail data?

After looking at this a bit more I will also need to change the toggle item if the group is present or not. Tried this as an expression and it did not work.

Multi Value In Report Parameter Using MSVS Report Designer.

Aug 14, 2006

Hi All,

I have a question, How to user the Multi value in Visual Studio Report Designer.

My dataset contains the following

Select empno,empname,basicpay,deptcd from employee where deptcd in (substring(@gdept,1,4))

Here variable gdept is the report parameter. I am passing the value.
it works fine with single value.

( the source of gdept is a another dataset to list the deparment code+name,

Example

DEP1 - COMPUTER

DEP2 - ADMIN

DEP3 - FINANCE

)

when I preview, i have a combo box to select the department.

If I choose one deparment, it works fine.

If I choose more than one department or select all I have error message

"substring function requires 3 aruguments."

what is wrong is the query

Please advise.

 

Cheers,

Saleem

Report Designer Report That Queries A Cube Model

Jun 15, 2007

In Report Designer I am able to create a Model data source and see my entities/fields.

But when I run the report I get a "Failed to execute Query" message.

I know in the past this was an issue because Designer doesn't allow you to specify a perspective.

Does anyone know if this has been resolved?

I'm using SP2



Thank you,

Different Dynamic Grouping Question

May 14, 2007

Hi,

I have a basic report that has some transaction info, eg



Name Type

AAA Buy

AAA Buy

AAA Sell

BBB Buy

BBB Buy

BBB Buy

BBB Sell



Etc



I want to group all the BBB's together, but I don't want to group ANY others together... Ie, I want to group the transactions together if the name is BBB, else I don't want to group at all.



Is this possible?



I hope I have given enough info.



Cheers

Dynamic # Of Records In An Artificial Grouping

May 12, 2008



I have a report that requires SubTotals for each page.

To do this successfully, I had to introduce the following grouping:


Code Snippet=Int((RowNumber(Nothing)-1)/5




This groups every 5 records.

Unfortunately, the length of data in my records is not uniform. For example, certain records have long(over 4 lines) comment field while others are short(1 line).


This means that even though I have an artificial grouping, the group may still be split up over two or more pages.

Is there a way to Group records PER PAGE dynamically?

Report Designer &&> PRINT ONLY A SECTION OF THE REPORT

Oct 18, 2007

Hi,
I dont know if theres a way to print a section of some report, for example a summary report, where I have several charts and tables, and I want to print just the first 2 charts
Could this be done by mapping the document or separating it in some other way?

I tried using 'SubReports' control, but this way I need to have for example the first two charts in a different report (lets say 2charts.rdl), and then in the summary.rdl, add the control and set the link to 2charts.rdl,.... but I think this is pretty annoying considering the future modifications of the format in the 2charts.rdl...

Thanks for your help...

Dynamic Grouping Group Header Problem

Jan 23, 2007

Hi, I am currently trying to create a report the dynamicaly groups from parameters. The grouping part works fine but I need to show the parameter label name or the field referenced by a parameter.

=iif(Parameters!Param1.Value="P",Parameters!Param2.Label,Fields(Parameters!Param1.Value).Value)

This is the expression I have written to do this. The problem seems to be is with the true part of the iif statement. The false displays fine in the group header. The Parameters!Param2.Label also displays if used on its own.

This is the error that is fires back when I run the report.

The Value expression for the textbox €˜textbox4€™ contains an error: The expression referenced a non-existing field in the fields collection.

I am quite new to SSRS and I am using VS2005 pro.



Thanks

SSRS 2005 - Email Report On Execution To Dynamic List With Dynamic Parameters = No Schedule

Nov 23, 2007

Hi,
I have a need to display on screen AND email a pdf report to email addresses specified at run time, executing the report with a parameter specified by the user. I have looked into data driven subscriptions, but it seems this is based on scheduling. Unfortunately for the majority of the project I will only have access to SQL 2005 Standard Edition (Production system is Enterprise), so I cannot investigate thoroughly.

So, is this possible using data driven subscriptions? Scenario is:

1. User enters parameter used for query, as well as email addresses.
2. Report is generated and displayed on screen.
3. Report is emailed to addresses specified by user.

Any tips on how to get this working?

Thanks

Report Does Not Display In Designer

Mar 28, 2007

Hello,



I am developing some reports for an ASP.NET solution, but my IDE does not display the design view of the reports. Instead, it only displays the XML definition even when I click View Designer. Yesterday the reports showed up correctly, and I know that the design view is there. Is there a setting that has been changed somewhere?

Using A Like Clause In Report Designer

Apr 14, 2007

Well, I noticed several other threads on this topic, but the solutions accepted as answers did not resolve my issue.



I'm trying to pass a like clause via a parameter in a report. I'm running the report against an Oracle 10 db using the microsoft for oracle oledb driver. Here's my sql I'm using in the report designer:



select * from dbprod.database_names_vw
where db_name LIKE ('%' + :1 + '%').



When I run this, I get the dreaded: ORA-01722 error



I referred to this page: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa337223.aspx

which covers: Using Query Parameters with Specific Data Sources



I tried all the variations from that link...I tried the "@" sign. I tried the ?. I tried double quotes...I've tried everything...



I was under the impression I had to use unnamed parameters, as above....



Frustrated in Cali.

Cannot Shut Down VS After Using Report Designer

Jan 27, 2006

Routinely when I use BIDS to work on a report design, I cannot close BIDS because I get a message box that says:


Microsoft Visual Studio cannot shut down because a modal dialog is active. Close the active dialog and try again.
Of course, there is no visible dialog open. I actually have to terminate the process from task manager.
I do not get this problem when using SSIS or SSAS. Only SSRS.
Any Ideas?
Thanks!

Report Designer - Not A WYSIWYG?

Oct 29, 2007

What you see on the designer is not what you get? How frustrasing can this be when you develop a report? Why did Microsoft made such a deviation from actually designing the windows UI (where you always get what you want and it is a true wysiwyg)

We are doing some data entry apps and would like to simulate a paper based report at the end of the data entry. I designed a portion of it and preview showed what I want. Published the report and found out that the layout is messed up in the IE. I went trough the pain of correcting the layout and made it work for IE. Now when I use the preview the layout is messed up. How can I desgin a layout that works on both worlds. (client side and server side??)

We would like to make the report avaliable in both the windows application(client side) as well as through the report manager (server side)

Using Stored Procedure In Report Designer

Jul 11, 2007

I have the following stored procedure. I have a few questions regarding its use in Reporting Services.

1) Invalid Object ##Tmp_Table1, this prevents the report designer from displaying the available fields.
2) The @totalcount isn't available (I need this value for a calculated field in the report)
3) How would I go about creating dropdowns/calendar controls for users to fill in the parameter values?

ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[spTermCodeReport]
@tablename char(12) = 'results_NAF',
@source varchar(20) = 'AmExpProvList',
@sourcedate datetime = '05/30/2007',
@TotalCount int = 0 OUTPUT

DECLARE @SQLString varchar(255)
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;


SELECT @SQLString = 'SELECT count(*) AS TRCount INTO ##Tmp_Table1 FROM ' + @tablename + ' WHERE source=''' + @source + ''' and sourcedate=''' + convert(varchar(10),@sourcedate,110) + ''''
EXEC(@SQLString)
SELECT @TotalCount = TRCount FROM ##Tmp_Table1

I have to try Report Designer Preview and i have to make a demo for a client.

I have 2 problems.

* We need Report Designer Preview to be the end-user Report Maker Tool. But, it doesn't have the Query Designer and the MDX Query Designer. In future version of MSSQL2008, is it integrated ?

* We work with MOSS 2007 and i just want to know if it's possible to deploy directy from Report Designer Preview to a Sharepoint with Reporting Services in Integrated Mode.
If it's not, is it preview to have it ? and when ?



Thanks for your help. (if you know people from Microsoft who can help me for features in future version, thanks to forward me his email).

Page Setup Disabled In Report Designer

Mar 22, 2007

I'm trying to change the snap-to grid functionality in a SRS 2005 Report Design (within VS 2005). I tried the same steps in the following post, without success. Based on the SRS help, it appears you change Grid Settings by accessing the File > Page Setup dialog, but the Page Setup (along with Print) is disabled.

Maybe these are instructions for Report Builder only? If so, how do you adjust the Grid Settings (to turn off the "snap" functionality) for a SRS Report project in Visual Studio?

Invoices/batch Reports - Using Report Designer?

I'm a Reporting Services newbie.

I want to use Report Designer in SQL Server 2005 to generate monthly invoices for customers. I would need to somehow automatically repeat running the same report, but for a different customer ID each time. Kind of like a batch process.

How can I make this happpen?

The data is in SQL Server 2000. I have Visual Studio 2008 if that helps.

I know Crystal Reports can do this, using the Crystal Reports server. But I'm hoping to find a way to do it using MS Reporting Services.
