I'm new at Reporting Services. I need to know if the Reporting Services will meet my needs.
I need to create a report that looks much like a Word document with large sections of text. Is it possible to hide some sections of text based on boolean fields in a SQL table/query?
Alternatively.. will it handle rich text? I could then select the appropreate section to display by query.
Thanks in advance
I have lot of information to display on one report. I am trying to come up with a reasonable layout, that could include all the information on one page without over whelming the user. Essentially I would like to divide the report in three sections, ideally with a collapse/expand functionality. Is it possible with Reporting services. How?
- Section1 Heading....(Expanded/Visible)
<Table, text boxes, lists go here>
<data region>
<data region>
<...>
<...>
+ Section2 Heading (Collapsed/Hidden)
<Table and other data regions are hidden>
+ Section3 Heading (Collapsed/Hidden)
<Table and other data regions are hidden>
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

I am putting together an invoice for my company. I have a text box describing each section of the invoice, followed by a table to list out the charges. I am using multiple tables based on what type of charge the client is receiving.
I would like to hide each section if there are no items purchased of that type. I can do this with the table using the expression "=CountRows() < 1", but I do not know how to refer to that table (call it Tablix1 for the sake of discussion) for the text box. I've tried using a ReportItems function as my basis, without success.
Hello there.
With my team we have to convert all our CrystalReports-Reports to ReportingServices-Reports.
Now i have a problem with on functionality in CR.
I just have a table. One group, two columns. like this:
Column1 Column2
-----------------------------------------------------------
GroupTextBox1 empty
-----------------------------------------------------------
empty DetailTextBox1
-----------------------------------------------------------
Now i want to underlay the following DetailRows to the Group.
There can be many DetailRows and the GroupTextBox1 is bigger than one line.
If its possible i dont want to use subreports
Can somebody help me?
Thanks in advance, Tobi
Hi, I've got the query below which works as needed, but it performs the same inner select twice at present. What is the best way of eliminating the second evaluation of the inner select statement?
SELECT TOP 1 condition FROM
(SELECT condition, COUNT(condition) AS total FROM [JCM].[dbo].[jcmresults] GROUP BY condition)
WHERE total = (SELECT MIN(total) FROM
(SELECT condition, COUNT(condition) AS total FROM [JCM].[dbo].[jcmresults] GROUP BY condition))
Thanks,

Hey,
Does anyone know of a neat and easy way to modify this section of hardcode:
SELECT CASE dbo.requestsbyyeartemp.themonth when '1' then 'January' when '2' then 'Febuary' when '3' then 'March'
when '4' then 'April' when '5' then 'May' when '6' then 'June' when '7' then 'July' when '8' then 'August'
when '9' then 'September' when '10' then 'October' when '11' then 'November' when '12' then 'December' end as 'themonth', etc...
Requestsbyyeartemp is a table where the numbers corresponding to the months are stored. This statement is used to make a new table where the months are stored with the proper names and not numbers.
I would sooner not have any hardcode at all if there is a simple way to do it.
Thanks
I am learning how to parse XML data into SQL table. Below partial XML data contains multiple sections. I used OPENXML to parse one section but need to parse the remaining sections into a table. For example, below openxml code can only retrieve elements under "NewHires/Newhire/EmployeeInfo/PersonName" section. I also need to parse elements under "NewHires/Newhire/EmployeeInfo/ContactMethod" sections. Notice that there are three subsections underneath the ContactMethod section ("/Telephone", "/InternatEmailAddress", and "/PostalAddress") sections. Not to mention there are EmergencyContact section follow behind.
OpenXML can only extract one section at a time. Does it mean I have to write multiple OpenXML, store them into multiple temp tables then merge them into a single table? If that is the case, how to save all these data into a single table?
parse all the elements in lieu of OpenXML?
Here is the partial XML data:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

On my company's website, we have a quote of the day. I would like to be able to type a hundred or so quotes into a mdf file. Then, I would like to have code that randomly selects one of the quotes every day and posts it.
....What I want is very similar to the "Image Of the Day" section on many websites.
Any ideas?

Hi guys
We have a helpdesk application which is based on an MS SQL database, and which runs with a rather large and complicated C# based interface. We don't have the code for this, so we can't customise it. Long story short, what we want is to create an interface in Access (or similar) which accesses the same database as the helpdesk suite, and allows reading AND writing, and some rather complex operations (which SHOULD be fairly simple to do in SQL).
Unfortunately, I have been given this project, and I know about as much about Access and SQL as I do about Ghengis Khan's fashion sense.
I will follow with more information as required, but I'm going to need a lot of help with this one. First things first, is Access the way to do this? Is it going to be easier to create a new Access DB and synchronise it with the SQL, instead of both applications using the same database?
The only way I can get Access to interrogate the SQL database is to create a Data Access Page - is this the correct starting point? The only problem is that this seems to only offer HTML, and is far from being a friendly interface, at least not to me.
I know that I currently have no grounding in physics and I'm trying to build a space station, but any advice that you could give me would be much appreciated.
Thanks guys!
Hi all,
I am going to install my application at my Client's place.
I do not want them to know about my DB design and also i have a lot of master information that I dont want the Client to view.
The Client insists that he would have the Super Administrator user ids and passwords (ie. "sa" - user).
Is there any way i can encrypt my DB design and the data in the DB.
Or is there any other way of restricting the Client from viewing my DB design and data???
Thanks

In SQL 2000 Query Analyzer, you can set up the text output pane toleave null values blank.That could give you this (assuming it's set to comma-delimited) --CREATE TABLE #Test (A int, B int)INSERT #Test SELECT 1,2INSERT #Test SELECT NULL,4INSERT #Test SELECT 5,NULLINSERT #Test SELECT NULL,NULLSELECT * FROM #TestA,B1,2,45,,I can't figure out how to set up 2005 Management Studio the same way.I can only manage to get outputs like this, with "NULL" instead ofempty fields --A,B1,2NULL,45,NULLNULL,NULLHow can I get rid of the NULLs?Thanks,Jim

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,
I am designing a report with a few tables in it which i selectively want to hide if there is no data to display in them.
The tables hide themselves but leave behind a big void without compressing the fields beneath them.
Is there anyway to make sure that the tables are hidden and it compresses the space which it would have otherwise occupied?
The two methods i have tried are:
1. Put an expression in the visibility property and set it to true if the row count is zero
2. set the expression in the NoRows property to =""
(both without luck)
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi There,
I am fairly new at RS, and have a question about showing/hiding parameters :
What i would like to do is have one report, with the parameters :
Report By : (Date/Week)
Buisiness Stream : (Spares/OEM)
Start Date : (Date)
End Date : (Date)
Start Week : (Start Week Num)
End Week : (End Week Num)
What I would like to do is show the 'Start Date' and 'End Date' when the Report By value = Date
OR
Show the 'Start Week' and 'End Week' parameter when Report By value = Week.
Can someone help me with this?
Thanks
Jamie
P.S. If its not possible to hide the fields, could i grey them out??
I have main reports and also sub reports in the same project [folder]. I don't want to show sub reports in the reports drop down list. Can you please let me know how to do it?
Is there a way to hide reports before publishing and then hiding reports via the Report Manager? We have some subreports that before we publish, we would like to set a flag to hidden so the Report Manager will know after the deploy that this report is to be hidden.
Thanks for the information.
We have a parameter that takes the values of "Yes" or "No" (non-queried). If the user chooses "Yes", we want the subreport to display, but remain hidden on "No".
In the expression for visibility, we have the following:
=IIf(cstr(Parameters!Heading.Value = "Yes"),False,True)
When the report runs we get the following error: "The input string was not in the correct format."
Has anybody seen this before?
Thanks for the information.
I know how to hide groups using Expressions that use parameters that can be passed in, but can you hide groups that are inside other groups. Here is my situation. Our company has different organization levels. On reports the users want to select which organization levels they want to see the #s for. So I set up groups for each org level like so....
Org Level 1
Org Level 2
Org Level 3
The data results are like so
Org Level 1 Org Level 2 Org Level 3 Category $ Amount
USA Midwest Kansas 1 500.00
USA Northeast Maine 1 200.00
And I sum the $ Amount Per Category for each Org Level using grouping in the report.
Then based on the selections they make it hides the org levels they don't need to see. The issue is that the report will not show org level 2 or org level 3 if org level 1 is not visible, and org level 3 can't be visible if org level 2 isn't visible, etc.....Anyone know a solution to this situation, I know this has had to have come up.
Thanks,

Hello everyone,
I have a request to hide certain parameters in a report based on the current user logged into our web based report viewer using the ReportViewer control fo asp.net.
I am doing the standard stuff required to display the report as shown below.
Code Snippet
rptViewer.ServerReport.ReportServerUrl = new Uri("http://172.17.144.26/ReportServer"); // new Uri(MINETSecurity.WebSettings.WebServerPath, UriKind.Absolute);
rptViewer.ServerReport.ReportPath = ReportName;
rptViewer.ServerReport.DisplayName = "Report1";
rptViewer.ServerReport.ReportServerCredentials = new CustomReportCredentials("myUsername", "myPassword", "myDomain");
Now that i have loaded the report into the viewer i illiterate through the report parameters looking for the ones which the specified user should not see as show below.
Code Snippet
ReportParameterInfoCollection MyReportParams = rptViewer.ServerReport.GetParameters();
foreach (ReportParameterInfo MyParameter in MyReportParams)
{
// returns a value from a custom class which is a predefined value for this user based on the current user logged into the website
string Value = CustomParameterValues.ToString(GlobalUserSettings.CurrentUser.CustomValueList);
if(Value != "") MyParameter.PromptUser = false;
}
Here is where the promblem lies, when i try to set the value of PromptUser i get the following compiler error.
Property or indexer 'Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ReportParameterInfo.PromptUser' cannot be assigned to -- its is read only
Is there anything i can do to set certain parameters invisible to the user and set there value myself. I know i could create 2 seperate reports and set the PromptUser value in the designer but i dont really want to be duplicating reports just to hide or show parameters.
I have tried using the SetParameters method of the ReportViewer component to pass the value of the parameters that should be hidden and even set the visible property to false, but it dosn't seem to work.
Any help here would be appreciated.
Cheers

I've heard that if one doesnt have a clustered index on his/her table, that clustering occurs on some underlying row id. Is this true? If so, is that id retrievable?

Hi,
Can anyone help me with the expression I need to use in order to hide a table with no rows? I have put my table inside a rectangle with the idea that I would just hide the rectangle if there weren't any rows but I can't find any examples of what expression I can use to specify the no rows condition.
Thanks!

I have a table with a group. I have one row of the group that is the header for the detail section. How can I suppress the row header in the group if there is no data in the detail section for a group value? I was thinking something along the line of setting the visibilty of the row header to an expression based on the existence of data in the detail, but don't know how to go about this.
Thanks.
