Formatting Fields On A Multifield Report
Dec 18, 2007
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,
Menno Homburg

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

Hello, I am using SQL SERVER Reporting Services 2005. I am having a formatting problem. The problem is that I hav a textbox in which numeric field is coming. I want to show the currency format of the Regional Setting of the user pc. I have set the Language setting of the textbox to Default. Now when I am changing the Regional setting from US to UK then in the criteria section the datetime criteria (calendar's value) is changed according to the UK setting, but in the report section the selected date time is not changed (coming in US setting). And the currecy format is also not changing to UK format. Any help ?Regards,Furqan

Hi,
I am saving a couple of paragraphs of text into a varchar(max) field in a SQL database table. But when I try to use display the information again, then all the linefeed and return characters seem to be removed. How do I keep this text formating in the database field?
I am sure that I am missing something simple here, but I can not figure out what. Can someone please help with some advise?
Thanks

Dear All,
I have a problem formatting a field in Reporting Services (minutes to hours).
I have a field called duration which stores time in whole minutes only. I can format this into hours within mssql using the following:
cast(sn.duration/60 as varchar(5)) + ':' + RIGHT('0' + cast(sn.duration%60 as varchar(2)), 2)
But I need to have totals and average columns in my report, which means that the data must come through to RS in the minutes format so I can perform the calculations there.
I have the first part (I think!!):
=string.format("{0:0}",Fields!SalesTime.Value / 60) + ":"
But I cannot get the minutes part working!
Any help would be gratefully received.
Dan

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
Mike Jebson
St Address State City
14111 NC Test
12541 NC Test2
Department : A George Jebson
14111 NC Test
12541 NC Test2
Department : B Steve J
14111 NC Test
12541 NC Test2
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 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,
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
Jason

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?

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 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

Env: Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services Version 8.00.1042.00,
<OSName>Microsoft Windows NT 5.2.3790.0</OSName>
<OSVersion>5.2.3790.0</OSVersion>
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,
-Peter

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.

I'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!

Hi,
When i select datasource in Report Builder, i am able to see all the available DataSources.
Eg: I have selected one datasource from the list and which has 3 tables(table1, table2, table3) associated to that datasource.
when i drag and drop table1 fields to report, i am not able to see the other 2 tables(table2 & table3)
Is there any property or relationship do i need to maintain?
Thanks,
SR.

If I am totaling fields by groups of rows and I do so for every group do I need to use a stored procedure or cursor for this? I don't have a lot of experience with these areas but will give it a go based on what I find out.
Let me try to provide an example.
BranchNo OrderNo ErrorCode1 ErrorCode2 ErrorCode3
478 111 0 1 1
478 112 0 0 0
478 113 1 0 0
610 119 0 0 0
610 120 1 0 0
I am trying to total the "error code" fields for each Branch. Of course, some don't have any, some have multiple errors. If a stored procedure is the only way, it will be a problem as our company's DBA has not given me permissions to run SPROCs. Is there a way to do this in a query?
I have been trying to figure out a subquery for this and it is not working.

I have matrix report to display gender statistics based on hierachical geographic data e.g.
Country 1 | region 1 | subregion 1 | No-of-males | no-of-females
with drill through enabled
I want to have persentage near the number-of-gender as well as total population for a row, like this
Country 1 | region 1 | subregion 1 | No-of-males (%-males) | no-of-females (%-females) | Total in the row
but I cannot find the way to do it.
Expression for data cell is
=sum(Fields!no_of_person.Value)
but if I try something like
=sum(Fields!no_of_person.Value) & " (" & sum(fields!no_of_person.Value) / sum(fields!no_of_person.ParentUniqueName, "column") * 100 & ")"
to get the total for both genders - the reports fails
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I've looked in vain for an answer to this, and it seems like it should be simple. Some new fields have been added to a table, and I need to add them to the Report Model. When I go to the data source view, the new fields do not show up in the table. Is there an easy way to get the new fields to show up, or do I need to delete the table (and of course the relationships), and then add it back. Thanks for any help.

Hi,
I am designing a report that creates a letter to send to a named individual. To accomodate different address lengths, additional fields have been added to the db. Is there a method by which if an address filed is empty, it does not display in the redered report and the fields below it are moved up to close the gap?
Any one any ideas?
Thanks

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.

Time columns go up to Dec 07. But I did not show all the columns.
The values are calculated as follows.
Field value for Jan07 = (No of Loans pass due in Jan07 / Total No of loans disbursed in Jan07)
Repayment due date is 5th of every month. if smbody does not pay on 5th, its considedred as pass due.
Source data tables look like this.
LoanTable(Disbursed date, userID, Amount, Status)
CreditTier table (Credit Tier, Rate) - Seems like no relationship with Loan table
we can identify pass due loans from status field in loan table. Status appears as 'Deliquency'.
Please Can any one help me to create this report?

Is it possible to set up a report so that there's a column where the user can insert data of their own, which then gets saved to the underlying database?
What I'm thinking of is the ability to have a drop-down box at the end of each row of data in the report, whereby the user can select an option to specify the action they have taken in response to the data. Is this possible, and if so, how exactly would I achieve this?

hi friends
we are looking at reports which have to be dynamically populated .. the problems faced are that the fields are so many that they dont fit horizontally in the same page ...so i have to make sure that only the fields permitted as per the report layout are shown on that page and the rest must be shown on the succeeding page..
what seems to be the solution ( maybe wrong ) that the somehow the way the report engine's methods can be overwritten
but how?
any other suggestions that are more straightforward are most welcome

I hope someone can clarify what I observe below.
When I add a certain Table into my report model, one of the fields is not automatically converted into an attribute, but I'm not sure what the exact pattern is.
This table has 3 fields as its key, two of them get included and one does not. The one that does not, is also added as a Role as it is used in a relationship within the DSV (Data Source View).
Does anyone know what rules BIS (Business Intelligence Studio) uses in deciding which fields to automatically convert using the wizard and which to skip?
Perhaps I'm doing something wrong, or there is a workaround?
If anyone can shed any light in the issue, I'd greatly appreciate their comment.
Thanks in advance and kindest regards

Hi All,
When I'm building a report in report designer and get error message that says --error like --field textbox25--whats the easiest way to see all my report fields and quickly access them instead of clicking every field in a report?
Ideally a fields map with links to these fields.
