How can you I format the top portion of the report? In other words: I have a report with two parameters: dropdown Test, and a text box Test 2. Everything works fine but I want the dropdown to be in a line then the text box in another line. I can€™t find away to format this automatically generated section?
Thank you

I created a report using SQL Report Server project. I was able to retrieve my data without any problem. I am having a hard time to format the data correctly: when somebody access the report he will have the option to export it to PDF file
Here is how I would like to format the PDF File:
Test (title)
Department : A Mike Jebson
St Address State City
14111 NC Test
12541 NC Test2
Page 1
For the second user I will have all the above template to be Repeated again
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Test (title)
Department : B George Jebson
St Address State City
14111 NC Test
12541 NC Test2
Page 2
I could not make it to copy the title in the second page. This is what I have so far
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Test

Department : B Steve J

I want the whole template to be repeated for each user. I do group by name but still I can€™t repeat title and the lines for each page. It will put everything under one title. Is there a design screen for pdf? Or i just need to do everything in the layout tab for the report then expor it as a PDF?
I have a problem.... I have a TSQL procedure that calculates employee overtime based upon days 1-5 of week being "in-week", and days 6-7 oweek being week-end overtime. The resulting data is then mailed to dept managers. My problem: for some reason the calculated colums are being generated at a width of 40 char per column. I somehow need to reduce the width to 8-10 characters per colum (this will eliminate the wraping that I currently get in my e-mails)... Any help would be appreciated... Thanks..Tom
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a report with two datasets(and two tables). They both have a field in common(a customer code).
I want the results to be one customer per page.
This isn't a problem when using one dataset, because I can just group by customer_code and page break at the end.
But in this case I need the customer info from the second dataset to be on the same page as the customer info from the first set.
Does anyone have any formatting tips on this?
We have developed client SQL Server Reporting Services reports (rdlc) that are completely dynamic.
Everything on the report itself is build from code.
There are a few problems in the formatting of these reports that we have not been able to correct.
1) Because of the way the data has to be displayed. we have had to use a List control with Textboxes and Lines within to give the appearance of a table.(Column headers are textboxes with background set to gray). Line controls exist between each column of data. We did this because we need to have nested lists in some cases to display the data.
The height of the listbox is adjusted to fit the contents within. The vertical lines between the columns appear broken with gaps between each item.
Is there any way to set the line height to automatically fit the height of the ListBox.
2) Another issue we have is with Texboxes. If there is no value in the Textbox, the borders do not show. CanShrink is set to false. Hidden is false. Is there any other setting or something else that could be causing this?
Hi all!
I would like to know if Conditional Formatting in Report Builder is supported in Service Pack 2 CTP.
Thanks for your time.
Hi,
Using SQL 2005 Reporting Services, with the click of one button in my custom report viewer, is there a way I can generate my report, format it into PDF and send it to an email address that is shown on the report itself. (Report run may generate 1 copy specific to each client...ie, I want one copy to email to each client, and not have to have the clients subscribe to the report).
Any idea?
Cheers

Hi all
I need Report Builder to format Certain Numbers
as Currency by default. According to the documentation
I need to set the culture setting in the report's datasource.
I'm using a SSAS2005 Cube
The Report Manager then let's me create the Model wich is used
by Report Builder.
My Question is: Where do I set the culture setting?
I cannot find it in the Cube and viewing the model's xml hasn't helped.
Any help will be dearly appreciated

I cannot find anything that would suggest it is possible to use a cascading style sheet when formatting data elements within a local report (RDLC). We created an HTML report using CSS and now want to generate the same report using the Report Viewer control along with our defined styles.
Any ideas?
thank you
This is a good one:
Same RDL, 2 different servers. I run the report on my computer and export to PDF, it prints properly. When the customer runs the report on their server (SSRS 2K5 SP1, same as mine), they get it displayed differently. The columns on the report extend to the next page and the lines are thicker.
Is this a formatting issue on the customer's PC? It uses standard fonts (Tahoma, Sans-serif).
Any ideas?
I have a "report" that is more like a form with a great many fields on it that are not arranged like columns. The data is displayed in text boxes. My problem is that the "fields" or text boxes do not always form a nice single line where they connect - at least in the displayed format (HTML4.0), but actually do in printed format. It looks like the fields/textboxes may have a varying width, and possibly height.
Is there any way to make sure that the width and height are static?
Thanks,

I am currently developing a report for users who insist on exporting to Excel 2007. When I export to Excel on my PC, the report formatting is fine (I am using Excel 2003), however, font sizing as applied in the report is lost when exported to Excel 2007 (i.e. font size 9 in the report is actually 10 in excel 2007). In Excel 2007, the data which runs onto two lines does not show up correctly - the second line is squashed below the first.
Any ideas on how I could resolve this?
There is no conditional color formatting for Report Builder.
Is there any way to have it - write plug-in for example.
I tried to "hack" rdl file the RB produces:
but it didn't work.
Also, I hear that Microsof is about to issue a fix for it (SSRS 2005). Is it true?
Thank you

Last week a number of reports that were working fine began rendering incorrectly when sent out in report subscription emails - they work fine when directly rendered using report manager. The weird issues include broken alignment (left instead of right), missing borders, and changed fonts.
I checked the report deployment dates and these reports have not changed since well before the issues arose. I am digging thru the event logs to see what might have changed, but has anyone seen this issue before?
TIA,

We have multiline text box of datatype ntext, and users will use tabs to format the data for better readability.
How can we keep this formatting in SSRS 2000? Right now, it simply goes away and resembles nothing like the application.
Thanks!
I have a report that has ten pages (essentially ten different reports). Each page has one, large main chart and then three smaller charts stacked on top of each other off to the right. The layout is in landscape. When I render the report in Reporting Services, the layout looks fine. If I export it to Adobe, it is also fine. However, when the report is emailed as a PDF attachment, the main chart on each page is completely missing. Has anybody experienced something simliar? I was having issues with the layout, and decreasing the height of each page fixed everything, but created this new problem. I am using Adobe 7.0. Thank you.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for a new way to publish reports based on OLAP data and was very disappointed to find that Reporting Services does not natively support displaying MDX query results in a matrix. While it is possible to assign an MDX query to the matrix control in Reporting Services, the two main problems are that the columns of the query must be measures (not dimensions), and it does not support display of server based formatting (fore color, back color, and font flags).
Does anyone know of any custom control that properly deals with Analysis Services data?
Thanks for any info you have!
SQL server 2005 express reporting problem.
error message:
This feature "remote access to report data sources and/or the report server database" is not supported in this edition of reporting service
I got this error message when I try to connect to database hosted in another PC running SQL server 2000.
Is it true that SQlL server Express can only use Local Database Engine to host the database?
Hello all,I have a strange problem that i need some advice on. I have the following field called FILENO. It is a SQL 2000 field with the Data Type set to Char (7). The following sql statement works perfectly:SELECT TOP 1 RTRIM(FILENO) AS TEST, RIGHT(DATEPART(Yy, FILENOYEAR), 2) AS YEAR FROM tblRecordsWHERE RIGHT(DATEPART(Yy, FILENOYEAR), 2) = '05'ORDER BY FILENO DESCIt returns the correct data, 0050. Now, what i'm trying to do is add 1 to the value so i can get the next available number which is 0051. But, when i run the following sql statement, i get 51 instead of 0051.SELECT TOP 1 RTRIM(FILENO+1) AS TEST, RIGHT(DATEPART(Yy, FILENOYEAR), 2) AS YEAR FROM tblRecordsWHERE RIGHT(DATEPART(Yy, FILENOYEAR), 2) = '05'ORDER BY FILENO DESCDoes anyone have an idea how to solve this? Thanks.Richard M.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm working as a consultant for a project and I have been having constant issues with the in house "database guru" about stored procedure formating.
He insists I use a format similar to this:

, UserRole
from
Users
join
UserRole
on
User.ID = UserRole.ID
where
User.ID = @UserID

I'd love to get some comments on this issue or reference to any discussions on issues such as this.

Hello -
Does anyone know why SQL Server Reporting Services formatts SQL weird? -- If I type a SQL statement in notepad or notepad++ and then paste it in Reporting Services it will change the whole structure and "expand" it out to three or four times its size.
Thanks

Hello All,
Is it possible to format an integer to a float value with 2 decimals in an sql query.
If yes, Please help?
I need to show my SUM of the 2 columns added in the query below formatted as currency. Is this possible?
SELECT SUM(QVSTDN + QVNONC) AS Total FROM INVOICE_TBL WHERE QVORDN = @QVORDN AND QVINV = @QVINV
I tried:
SELECT CONVERT(varchar(12), SUM(QVSTDN + QVNONC) , 1) AS Total FROM INVOICE_TBL WHERE QVORDN = @QVORDN AND QVINV = @QVINV
But this does not format it as currency. Any input would be helpful.

I am trying to output data from SQL Server to an email body message with a little formatting (just to make it legible)
Using this SQL statement:
select top 1 'Name', app_first_name+' '+app_last_name [name] ,'Submission Date', submission_date ,'Address', app_address+', '+app_city+', '+app_state+' '+app_zip from vw_bpa_export where app_email = dave@email.com order by submission_date desc
the resulting output displays this in the email body
"Name","Brian Vogler","Submission Date","2008-01-30 07:45:00","Address","6285 Harrow Trace, Norcross, GA 30092 "
but what I want is the text to look more like this:
Name Brian VoglerSubmission Date 2008-01-30 07:45:00Address 6285 Harrow Trace, Norcross, GA 30092
Is there a way to do this in the SQL statement (without HTML tags)?

I have values in my database that I'd like to display as $xxx,xxx.xx. Some of these values use the money datatype and others use float.
I'm building a string in a stored procedure that is eventually passed to Visual Basic. I want to format these values in the above format in the string that is passed. I've searched all through MSN and I couldn't find anything related to VB's FORMAT function in SQL Server.
Does Transact-SQL have any functions that could format these values for me?
Does anyone familiar with a tool or a quick way to put apostrophes and commas around some values, so they could be used in a query ? Example, if I have a bunch of zip codes such as:
10001
10003
10009
54321
89043
etc
Let's say I have a couple of hundreds of them. I need to be able to see them as -
'10001','10003','10009','54321','89043' etc
Appreciate very much your time.

Hello Everyone,
I have been requested to take a number of columns and concatenate them into one column with a specifc format/layout. For example I need to take this, (noting all columns are of different datatypes:
col_1 col_2 col_3 col_4 col_5 col_6 col_7
PK #1 John Doe 123 Elm Street Anywhere NM 55660
#2
#3
etc..
...and create this on a different table (noting col_2 is of datatype "text":
col_1 col_2
PK #1 John Doe
123 Elm Street
Anywhere NM 55660
#2
#3
etc..
Can this type of formatting be done?
I know how to concatenate data and use the convert function, but how do you add in CR-LF to get the proper formatting??
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
