Okay. Simple request. I have a local report in my VS2005 project. I want to embed my company logo in the header. How do I do this?? When I put an image item on the page it wants me to put something in the value for this? I've tried sending through a dataset but SSRS can't load data set information into the header! Why is this so complicated? I don't want to embed a dynamic database image, just a static image that will be embedded in my program. Any help on this would be appreciated.
I want my users to be able to insert the logo when they create reports using report builder. Documentation tells that under Insert tab you can click on "Picture" and then browse to the location of the file and insert a picture. But I dont see "Picture" option under Insert menu. I only see 3 options "text box","Filter Description" and "Total Row Count".
I need some help. I am writing a report in SSRS 2005 that I then need to export to Excel. When I put a report header I would expect the header to not display in the Excel spreadsheet until the Print Preview or the Print. The report footer works just fine I put some text in the footer, and it shows up in the footer. The header though, shows up as a row in the Excel spreadsheet that then causes columns to merge. How do I get the report header to act like a page header?
I am making a book-like report, I am using a report that has a header and calling a sub-report that has it's own header. However the sub-report header is not showing on the parent report. Parent report header is prevailing over the sub-report. Is it possible to have both headers displaying?
There is a one header in the report, when I publish and hit the report in IE(internet explor) the header appears fine on first page when I go to next page this header does not appear.
But in mozilla the header is visible on every page of the report. so it is working fine in mozilla.

Does anyone know a way to display the header of a sub report when the sub report is part of a main report? Im able to get the main report and the sub report to display properly, but the header of the previously developed/tested sub report will not display when embedded in a main report.
I have a report that grows horizontally as it contains a matrix. In the header section of the report, I have items such as Title and time stamp in text boxes. How can I make these items align in the center if the report grows horizontally, it looks kinda odd with report title not being in the center? Any input will be appreciated.
The current way I have my asp.net 2.0 web app running reports is, based on an interface the user selects the criteria for a report. The .RDL file is created dynamically based on the user's selections. I then need to SOAP the dynamically created report to the report server and then the report runs fine. BUT it requires Adminstrative rights to do this. Can this be accomplished without giving the local machine admin rights. I am sorry if this question has been answered before but i have not been up here in a while.
Hello, If I have a report that includes a page header, the report viewer will render the report at the full width, but if I hide the page header and show only the body it will use the absolute width of the report.
I have a 7" wide report, with .75" borders set on each side.
Interactive & Print size are set to 8.5x11 Changing these sizes has no effect on the behavior of the viewer, which appears to ignore them.
When I view this report in the local viewer the contents fill the window if there is no page header. If I enable the page header then the report is drawn at 8.5" wide, leaving a _big_ white border on the right side. Any comments or workarounds that anyone knows? I know the local viewer is not a standard configuration (at least it seems) but it is what we need to use.Thanks,//Andrew
I installed SQL reporting services 2005 and successfully configured reporting services.After designing the report using Bussiness Intelligence Studio, i tried to deploy my reporting services application to the localhost , I got the below mentioned error :

The attempt to connect to the report server failed. Check your connection information and that the report server is a compatible version. (Microsoft.ReportingServices.Designer)

I am having a main report having two subreports, say M1,S1 and S2 respectively.
The issue is S2 normally tend to go beyond one page, for all pages except first page of the of the subreport I am getting the page header and footer blank,
Actually this is not loading the ReportItems that are used in main report but it shows text boxes containing strings for eg . "My Name" and date functions eg Today()
Hi, I need to create a report header that will only be shown on the first page. And I want to use the built in header system that is included with report. I can't create a custom header on the body part because I am using multiple columns for report rendering. Currently the header system either displays the header on all pages or it shows in all pages except the first or last page. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Can any one tell me what to use to substitute Table in report Header?Or is there any other way?Because when i am using Textboxes align horizontally as replace to table,to align to my table in the body,when i exported it to excel,ive got problems in alignment in cell,Thanks
How can I create a header that will only appear on the first page? The page header doesn't seem to have an expression area that would accomplish this and globals are not useable in table headers.
Is it possible to turn a server report created using report builder (with all the smdl and dsv stuff) into a report that is viewable using the Reportviewer ASP.Net control in _local_ mode? I need this because I'm trying to replace the datasource used in creating the report by another one for viewing the report.
I am creating a report which consists of data in two columns. I've set the Body section to have 2 columns in it. This works fine until I start working with the report header. I do not want a page header that shows up on every page, I only want a header on the first page, a report header.
I first tried to hide the header by placing it in the Page Header section, then putting in the "page > 1" expression in the visibility property. This does what I want, except a large blank space is present at the top of my report (the header is about 1.2 "). This is unacceptable.
So my next test was to put the header into the Body section so that it only shows up in the beginning of the report. Because of this, I will need to remove the columns from the Body and make it only 1 column now. I decided to put the multi-column section into a subreport that has 2 columns and add this to the body of my report. But, this failed; the data appears in one column only. I can change the width the ensure it fits and set all other sorts of properties, nothing works.
I've researched both issues and found that these are both "bugs" in reporting services, although I cannot find thedocumented bugs.
Is there any workaround to putting a header onto only the first page of a multi-column report? Other reporting engines are able to handle this with ease, I'm suprised by Reporting Services lack of a "Report Header" section. I am an experienced .NET developer, so if there is a programmatic way through this, I am game.
Hi all, I have a client report in which I have two images in the header portion. I have assigned two different images for the two image report controls.
The Problem is that the report is showing two images in only one system. (I ran the code which is available in SOURCE CONTROL, so the code is not the problem)
In all other systems the first image is getting repeated. The configuration is same and there is no change in HARDWARE.
Have anybody faced the same problem.....................
I want some information stored in the database to be shown on the top of each page in my report. But in the report designer I get an error message if I try to drop a table in the header, and if I try to assign the value of a textbox in the header to e.g. "First(Fields!sometable.Value)", I get a runtime-error in the preview that says "... Fields cannot be used in page headers or footers".
I have placed a textbox in the pageheader section of the report. In the textbox expression, I am trying to use a field . THis is an example of the expression in that textbox.
=First(Fields!ID.Value, "Jobstat") Howver it gives an err "THE Value expression for textbox referes toa field. Fields cannot be used in page headers or page footers"..Is there any other option that I have? I need this expression/field to be a part of page header, but not table header. Also, pl note that I have tried to place the field expression in a text box in the body of the report, and then refer to that text box in the page header or footer.However, when I do that, my expression does not appear on any pages of the report, only appears on the last page of the report.
I've built a fairly straight forward report in RS that looks normal in preview mode and in PDF format with out any issues.But when I export it to Excel report header is not appearing in each page.Any ideas as to why this is occurring?thanks in advance,Ramesh KS
I have a matrix report, which looks like the following:
Header C Header D
Column A Column B Column C Column D
Column A and B are Row Group columns in the matrix. Column C and D are the details columns. How can I add column header to column A and B. Seems I cannot do it in Reporting Services 2005.
I have a report with 2 tables (table1 and table2) in the report body. I have txtempname kept in table 1. I access the textbox value in the header using the following expression
=(report!txtempname.value)
This works fine. However when table2 gets populated on of the subsequent pages, the value in the header disappears. It is visible only for the 1st 10 pages where the table 1 data is there.
How to make sure that the value of the header displays for all the pages
After finding out that SSRS doesn't directly support databound items in the header or footer, I found the workaround from Microsoft yesterday at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159677.aspx. The problem is that their solution only works for the first page of the report, so it's basically useless! Because this is an image, it also means the workaround of using a parameter doesn't work, either.
Does anybody have any advice? Is there a solution to this problem?
Is there any thing like Report header in SSRS ? As a work around I am using a Rectangle control in the page header which I make visible if page number is 1 otherwise not visible. But if its invisible only the other items in the header seem to move up while the body height remains unchanged which I do not want. I want the body height to increase if the Report header is absent. Please let me know if I am missing something or if the SSRS has something like Report header already.
I have a report that is being called via stored proc, and i want to group by contract. when report gets generated i get multiple contracts info. but will be grouped/sorted by contract.
please how can i have a group header and also a group footer to show a summary of each contract information with some calculated fields in it.
i may get 100 records related to 10 contracts , 10 rows for each contract.
as soon as the first contract info is shown on the report it has to show a summary related to the first contract in the group footer, and then continue populating the second contract info and so on.
Please i am totally new to reporting and help would be appreciated. thank you all.
Is there anyway to create a Report Header in SQL Reporting Services?
I am guessing "no", but I have to at least try and ask away.
Okay, I have had reports where on the first page they want a report header, and then on the 2nd and the consequent pages they want a page header. This is simple, in the Page Header I put the text box(s) for the Report Header in one Rectangle and then the text box(s) for the Page Header in another Rectangle, stack the Rectangles on to of each other, and set the visibility property of the panels accordingly.
I also see on the table control (which I am using on my report), you can set the table header row(s) to either print on every page or only on the first page.
Neither of these options will work for the report I am trying to build based on a Crystal Report.
I have a page header that needs to appear on every page including the first page. It is about 3/8" tall. And then there is a requested report header that should only appear on the first page. The report header is about 2" tall. So if I try my trick I used before, I will have 2" inches of white space on the 2nd and consequent pages. The Report Header would correctly print on the first page, but the size of the Rectangle (even if the visible property is set to false) will still eat up white space.
Is there anyway around this, or will I need to have the users redesign their report to fit SQL reporting services?
I'm trying to get the following sql to work in a textbox. I have select the textbox properties and it's value is =datename(m,dateadd(m,-1,current_timestamp))
I would like the results of "October"
however I get the following error
The value expression for the textbox €˜textbox1€™ contains an error: [BC30451] Name 'datename' is not declared.
I'm pretty new to this so I do not know excatly what that error means.
I'm trying to embed a report into a CRM IFrame. So I have the report created in Business Intelligence Visual Studio 2005, but I need to display it with none of the header details SRS displays by default.
Using the following URL I included rc:toolbar=false and rcarameters=false but they don't seem to make any difference. I basically need to display the report content as if it were part of that page and not an SRS hosted page.
