Is it possible to suppress the output of certain report elements when the report is printed or exported? I want a particular image element that has a hyperlink to be visible when the report is viewed within RS's ReportViewer, but don't want it to show up on the printed or exported file. I figure, if this is even possible, the most obvious methods would be either:
1. Put the element in the page header or footer, then set up the page header or footer to not show up on the printed or exported report.
2. Put the element anywhere on the report, and set it to hidden when the report is printed or exported.
Are either of these possible? If not, is there another way to accomplish this?
I have a report which I can print on legal paper, once I choose the landscape settings on print menu. When the same report is set to export to a file share in pdf format, it renders in portrait format. Is it possible to have the pdf document look like the landscape view so that the user can just hit print.
I have a user that says that after she installed the ActiveX control for printing, that she can no longer export the reports. Has this happened to anyone else? What settings do I need to check on her machine to fix this problem?
I got this weird problem and I was wondering whether anyone has an idea of how to resolve this.
I have a working report on the RS server, ran the report and tried to print it straight from the page by clicking on the Print button.
When it printed, it gave me additional pages as though the margins were incorrect. I have additional space on the left of the report, which pushes it out towards the right (very slight but noticable) which ended up printing "blank pages" ( basically only the page header). Moreover it didn't print any of the page footers ( which has the page numbers).
The weird part is that, I tried to export it to PDF format, and when I take a look at the pdf version, it looked fine with no formatting errors. Even printing the pdf works great.
I was wondering whether there was some bug with the RS Server or do I need to do somethin with the config file ? please advise. thanks !
Hi, This is because there are many columns need to display ,when users export to excel ,now they have to manually adjust the worksheet as one page . Therefore,as the title,can anyone help me?
When I open the spreadsheet in Excel 2000, it works fine. When I try to print, it crashes Excel. In testing, I narrowed it down to the Header/Footer, because it also crashes when I go to Page Setup and click on the header/footer tab.
However, I can print the same spreasheet from Excel 2007.
Am I just dealing with a "you need to upgrade all your clients" situation, or is there a known issue with certian formatting that is passed out with reports that is not supported by older versions of Excel?
I am using Reporting Services 2005 SP2 to serve up the report that is exported to Excel.
We are having problems printing Reports (when printing by clicking on the AcitiveX print control), where the font for the fields are set to "C39HrP24DhTt" (barcode).
While viewing the report it displays as Barcodes but while printing, the Barcode does not get printed, but the string gets printed.
Environment: SSRS 2005
Using the ReportViewer Control in a .Net 2.0 Web App to render the reports.
BarCodes print fine in the following situations:
1. When the Report is exported to Excel and when printed from there
2. When you click on the print button on Internet Explorer
3. When saving as html (from view source) and opening that html document and printing.
BarCodes do NOT get printed in the following situation:
1. When printing by clicking on the "Print" (Active X Control) icon. Even the "Print Preview" does not show the Barcode.
UPDATE #2: When it said "Do you want to install Microsoft SQL Server" I said "yes" and that caused it to work. I exited and re-ran and now the print runs w/o the "install SQL Server" (If the prompt had said "Do you want to install the print dialog" we wouldn't be having this discussion...)
UPDATE: After posting this i discovered that the same thing occurs when attempting to print the report direct from IE6: First a dialog pops up "Do you want to install this software?" Name: Microsoft SQL Server. When I click "Don't Install" I get the dialog "unable to load client print control." Since this happens direct from IE6 I suspect it's browser settings. I'll resume tomorrow and post a followup.
My WinForm C# app integrates Reporting Services by calling them from WebBrowser controls. The problem is attempts to print cause a dialog: "unable to load client print control."
I've read prior posts that say "enable Active-X in your browser" - I don't know how to do that from a WebBrowser control.
Any ideas how to support Reporting Services "Print" from within a WebBrowser control?
I am using SSRS 2005 SP2 and I need to allow my users to select the products they want in the report. I created a data set to get the list of the products and then used it in a multivalue parameter to generate a drop down list. My problem is that the list is too long (more than 2000 elements) and thus, it takes 10 sec to collapse the drop down list after tickinging the products.
Does anyone have an miraculous solution? Thanks in advance for your answers.
This one I hope is easy, but I've been working late and it seems to be aluding me. I have a field called time_in which is a char(6) field type. This field holds time elements such at 10:57
My query below is substracting one hour from Time_In and returning it as Hold_Time. I only want to return the time element without the date portion or the milliseconds, etc.
Code Block select substring(cu.time_in, 1,5) as time_in, DATEADD(hour, -1, substring(cu.time_in, 1,5)) as hold_time from reports.careunits_hold_hours cu
I am working on a project developing a fairly large number of reports with a team of developers. Many of these reports have common elements and code, such as common headers with user-selectable colors. Additionally, many of the common parts of the reports are at mockup stage currently, and many features will have to be added to the reports as time goes on.
We're attempting to create a generalized framework that will minimize the duplication of effort as we develop these reports, and as we go back and modify or fix them later.
What is the best way to approach this?
My first attempt was to create a report template and base all the reports off of the same template. That was fine for the first pass, but as we need to make changes later, they will not be propagated to the already existing reports.
My second attempt was to have each componant of that template reference a subreport, so that changes to the actual report template will be minimized as we go forward. This works great for minimizeing work, but it appears that you lose many features with the use of subreports, and there seems to be a pretty serious performance impact as well. I have posted about one such issue here: Pagination
If anyone has pointers about how to go about this, and where I should start, they would be greatly apreciated!
Hi, I use the FOR XML AUTO to retrive native XML from a database with: SELECT [xml] FROM myxml WHERE id = 81 FOR XML AUTO, elements, root('ROOT')" However it returns the database name and table name as parent elements. How can I return just my raw XML data without additional elements: XML is Stored: <ROOT> <CHAPTER> <TITLE>This is a test</TITLE> </CHAPTER> </ROOT> Returns: <databasename> <tablename> <ROOT> <CHAPTER> <TITLE>This is a test</TITLE> </CHAPTER> </ROOT> </tablename> </databasename>
I need to build an XML file with three sibling ComplexType elements, e.g. finance, itinerary and crew details. I can separately build each of them with no problem at all. Below is an example of the finance part, but how to have three within the same XML,?
What I have found so far was only to build one ComplexType, as I did below, but not a combination of them.
WITH finance AS (SELECT 200.12 AS fare, 12.78 AS VAT, 45.5 AS Tax UNION ALL SELECT 150.12 AS fare,

HiI'm a bit stuck with a SELECT query. This is a simplified version ofwhat I need. I've had a look in a few books and online but I'mdefinitely missing something. I'm trying to avoid looping and cursors.I'll be running this in a stored procedure on SQL 7.I have a separate query which returns a series of numbers, A, say 101103 107 109 113.I have a table (tableB) with a field myFieldB where I have anotherseries of numbers, B. I want return each row in tableB wherei - ALL values in A existii- ANY values in A existFor ii, I can use WHERE myFieldB IN AHow about for i?Is there a good guide on the web or a book on WHERE clauses and/ormore complex SQL?Thanks in advance!Sam
I have a report that is embedded in a .net 2.0 web form. It works. I would like to be able to modify some of the elements in the report as the web form loads. I have tried the following code that did NOT work:
Dim myImage1 As New Image
myImage1 = Me.ReportViewer1.FindControl("Image1")
myImage1.ImageUrl = "Images/small_info_logo.jpg"
Does anyone know of a site that has some godo examples and object models on how to do this?
Has anyone run across this before? I'm missing the Contents and Properties tab along with the button bar containing the "New Folder", "New Data Source", "Upload File" and "Show Details" buttons in the Report Manager. Also, which I think may be related, when I attempt to deploy a report I get the error: "A connection could not be made to the report server http://MyServer/Reports.
I have created a number of reports where I need to display database elements in the Header record. I have been using the reportitems feature to get them to display there. When I preview the report the header looks fine; however, when the report is exported to pdf or printed out the header information completly disappears.
Hi All - I am using OpenXML to insert data into SQL Server 2005. All works okay except for the fact that in my XML I have an attribute tag and elements as follows.<Location> <Place City = "LA" State = "CA"> <Place city = "NY" State = "NY"> <Place City = "St. Louis" state = "MO"></Location> If you notice in the above code, the 2nd city NY has element tag "city" in lower case and others are "City" with a Upper Case "C" same for state in case of MO which is lower case and others are Upper Cases..Now I understand that XML is case sensitive. What should I do if I have XML files in the above format with inconsistent element tags? Because if I run the below code.. using OpenXML...Insert Into TableXSelect *FROM OPENXML (@DocHandle, '/Location/Place', 1) WITH (City varchar(255) '@City', State varchar(255) '@State') ox Then in the above scenario it won't insert values for city "NY" and state "MO" since both have lower case elements tags and in my OpenXML I have specified as @City and @State with Upper Case "C" and "S" respectively. Now in such a scenario what can one do? Any thoughts is to how I can also grab value for lower case "city" and "state" in the above XML. Any help would me much appreciated. Thanks a billion.Regards- web
[rsInvalidColor] The value of the BackgroundColor property for the textbox €˜textbox14€™ is €œTransparent€?, which is not a valid BackgroundColor.
This is appearing when I set the BackgroundColor property in a SSRS report using an expression. What I'm trying to do is have the colour of the text and background returned by the stored procedure that returns the data for use in Matrix and Table. But the problem seems to relate to all controls in SSRS 2005.
Steps to reproduce are create a new report, add a TextBox.
Go to properties of the textbox and select the Backgroundcolor and select Expression...
Then add the expression:
="Transparent"
Transparent doesn't seem to be a constant, but does appear to be a value you are allowed to selected (and is the default) from the drop down in the background colour.
The work-around is to use White, which works if you don't use a background image or change the background colour of the page.
However if you do us the "Transaparent" colour, then it does return the correct effect, but generates an error in the Output window within the development environment. I'm just ignoring the error for the time being. but has anyone else seen this error.
Hi all, I am writing a select query which produces huge xml data.Now i want to read that data from my web application a save it as xml file. How can i do that. I am using asp.net vb.net.
I have a hierarchical structure for mapping products to categories, categories go 3 levels deep (depth is defined in articlegroups.catlevel, 0 being the main category and traversing down to lower category level 2). Also, a product may be in more than 1 category(!).
product details are stored in `[products]` articlegroups are defined in `[articlegroups]` and the mapping of the products to the articlegroups are defined in `[products_category_mapping]`
Now, I want to retrieve index the full category path for each item, so with the data provided below, I'd expect these 2 rows as a result:
Now I can get the separate fields via a statement like this:
SELECT ga.slug_nl as slug_nl_0 FROM articlegroups ga INNER JOIN products_category_mapping pcm ON pcm.articlegroup_id=ga.id INNER JOIN products gp on gp.id=pcm.artikelid WHERE gp.id=2481446
I have a simple select quesry but with 'for XML AUTO, ELEMENTS'. I want to put in the resulting xml string into a temporary table and then alter that string as per my requirements. But I am unable to put this XML string into a table variable. Please offer your suggestions.
