I am new to SSRS 2005 and so far the only way I can figure out how to edit groups in a table is to right click on the group header or footer and select Edit Group. But how would you edit the group if you chose to not have a header or footer? And how would you delete the group for that matter? I'm looking for something like the Crystal Reports Group Expert.
View 4 RepliesI 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.
Hi,
I accidentally unclicked the check-boxes for group-header and group footer - I meant to leave the group header in. Now, I can't get to the group to edit it! Is there any way I can get back to it?
why data cannot be shown using (a field parameter and table field) in page header and footer?
thanks

I have an SSRS 2012 table report with groups; each group is broken ie. one group for one page, and there are multiple groups in multiple pages.
'GroupName' column has multiple values - X,Y,Z,......
I need to group 'GroupName' with X,Y,Z,..... ie value X in page 1,value Y in page 2, value Z in page 3...
Now, I need to display another column (ABC) in this table report (outside the group column 'GroupName'); this outside column itself is another column header (not a group header) in the table (report) and it derives its name partly from the 'GroupName' Â values:
Example:
Value X for GroupName in page 1 will mean, in page 1, column Name of ABC column must be ABC-X Value Y for GroupName in page 2 will mean, in page 2, column Name of ABC column must be ABC-Y Value Z for GroupName in page 3 will mean, in page 3, column Name of
ABC column must be ABC-Z
ie the column name of ABC (Clm ABC) Â must be dynamic as per the GroupName values (X,Y,Z....)
Page1:
GroupName          Clm ABC-X
X
Page2:
GroupName          Clm ABC-Y
Y
Page3:
GroupName          Clm ABC-Z
Z
I have been able to use First(ReportItems!GroupName.Value) in the Page Header to get GroupNames displayed in each page; I get X in page 1, Y in page 2, Z in page 3.....
However, when I use ReportItems (that refers to a group name) in the Report Body outside the group,
I get the following error:
Report item expressions can only refer to other report items within the same grouping scope or a containing grouping scope
I need to get the X, Y, Z ... in each page for the column ABC.
I have been able to use this - First(Fields!GroupName.Value); however, I get ABC-X, ABC-X, ABC-X in each of the pages for the ABC column, instead of ABC-X in page 1, ABC-Y in page 2, ABC-Z in page 3, ...
I want to display a header group in a table but only in the first page.
I saw the option Repeat group header in the group properties but if I don't check that option the space of the header disapear.
I want to show the header in the first page and a blank space in the rest of page.
Thanks
The problem I am running into is I want to make sure the header/footer is on each next page,if the grade report goes more than 1 page (so pages aren't separated from each other or mixed up).
I could put a textfield as a footer at the bottom the list control but that would just appear at whatever length page 2 ended up being (basically you could have a "footer" at mid-page if the whole list only took up 1.5 pages).
Thanks & Rgds

I have been struggling to get this right in Integration Services, Would really appreciate the help.
Basically I have a file with fixed length columns that I would like to import into my database using Integration Services, the file looks something like this
AN_HeaderRecord0001Testfile.txt
MyName MySurname 0127721506
MyName2 MySurname2 0127722322
FooterRec0000000004_02
What I need to find out is how do I import the data, the name and surname and telephone no, but skip the header and footer records. Also I need to be able to use the header and footer data for later use.
Any ideas ?
Hi All,
I need to create a query which gives me something like this
HH20060831160342
DDasb IT 3000
FF20060831160709000000001
Where 'HH' is the header(followed by Date and time) and 'FF' is the footer (followed by Date, time and no of records)and 'DD' has some details (few fields) from database.I am using UNION to get this result but the problem is that if the count in the footer is 0 then query should not give any output.but If I am using the following query
select 'HH'+convert(varchar,getDATE(),112)+replace(convert(varchar,getdate(),8),':','') as filename,'' as name,'' as dept,'' as sal
union all
select 'DD'+'',filename,dept,sal from emp where empno like '%1%'
union all
select 'FF'+convert(varchar,getDATE(),112)+replace(convert(varchar,getdate(),8),':','')+ REPLICATE(0, 9-len(COUNT(*)))+''+convert(VARchar(10),COUNT(*)) as filename,'' as name,'' as dept,'' as sal from emp where empno like '%1%'
I am getting the result as
HH20060831161226
FF20060831161226000000000
if the second select statement has no records
Please help
I have data arriving in fixed-width EBCDIC format. Each file contains one or more groups of records. Before and after each group there is a header/footer, which is not in the same layout as the records that it describes. Header, record and footer each have a different layout to the other but are consistent within themselves.
Thankfully the one thing header, footer and record layout have in common is their length, so at the moment, using the appropriate code page in the Flat File Connection Manager, I'm able to read all the columns as strings. The headers and footers just come through, albeit a bit weird looking, and I can filter them out with a conditional splt.
However, the header contains information that needs to be appended to each record in the group. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to achieve this? I'm trying to avoid developing a custom data source for this task but, if there's no other way, has anyone done it and do they have any tips?
Hi,
Is there a way to dynamically make report header and footer fields change location (or size)? I have many matrix reports that grow in width and then the header and footers do not look good.
Another example is I have a line that is in the header...I would like this to grow to the width of the report, which again is not static on a matrix report.
Thanks.
When I try to use (from page header or footer) a parameter or global or a function I wrote, I get the error below. Anyone got any ideas? Other reports within the VS 2005 project don't have this problem. Thanks....

Any suggestions on how to hide the header and footer information if there isn't any data returned on the report?
View 7 Replies View Relatedhi,
I have a custom code that can gets string from an array:
Public Shared FormatArray() As Object
Public Shared Function GetFormat(ByVal _Col As Integer) As String
Return FormatArray(_Col)
End Function
However if I place the code in a Table details value expression =Code.GetFormat(0), It will give me #ERROR
But if I put in the Table Header row value, then it shows me the String correctly, same for in Footer of the table.
Its only within the details rows that is not working
Does anyone know what is the problem??
many thanks

I'm a bit stumped at this. I have done this before a bunch of times. The difference is that this time I have two rectangles in the footer. For the each, the visibility is set to an expression which checks whether the page is page 1 or 2. If it is 1, the first rectangle is visible, if 2, the second. When I reference the hidden fields on the main area of the report via ReportItems, they come through fine on the first rectangle, but are invisible on the second. I've tried the same exact fields and every time they are visible in rectangle1, and invisible in rectangle2. What is going on here???
View 2 Replies View RelatedA space was added as the first character of the contents in the Left, Center and Right section of the Report Header and Footer exported to Excel. Example :
In the RDL, Header values are:
Left = "Product Report" ; Center = "Confidential" ; Right = "Page n of n"
In the exported report to Excel, Header properties (-->File.-->Page Setup--> Header/Footer Tab) are:
Left = " Product Report" ; Center = " Confidential" ; Right = " Page n of n"
Is there a way to eliminate that space character?

How would I get the rownumber() for a Group Footer in report designer not in my query?
I put the syntax rownumber(nothing), but it is giving me the row numbers for the detail section.
Any help would be appreciated.
I have a tabular report with grouping on the following fields:
Grouped rows: MDC, DrgDesc, ChronicOther
Detail row: Cases
The desired output follows:
MDC1
DrgDesc1
Chronic 50
Other 25
Total cases for DrgDesc1= 75
DrgDesc2
Chronic 20
Other 33
Total cases for DrgDesc2 = 53
etc....
I have everything working up to the Total cases for each DrgDesc. I tried adding a group footer to the Cases row, however this sub-totals for Chronic and Other rather than summing them together. Example is below.
MDC1
DrgDesc1
Chronic 50
50
Other 25
25
DrgDesc2
Chronic 20
20
Other 33
33
etc....
How can I achieve the desired result?
Is there any way to know you're at the last row in a group footer? I'd like to just hide all other rows except that one...

Hi,
I want to display a concatinated value of strings (DB field) having a "/" in between, for each group separately in the group footer.I tried using custome code.I was calling that code in detail.In detail it was showing correctly i.e running concatenated value for each record.But when i used the same global variable in group footer it's taking previous group's concatenated value and first groop footer shows a blank string.I guess its because groop footer thing is getting executed before the detail part.so can you please give me any solution for this.
Thanks in advance

I am using RS 2005 with SP2. I am trying to print a table Group footer on a brand spanking new page. I have checked the "Page Break at Start" of the Group, However in the Report view the footer starts printing directly below the end of the group, and not on a new page. I have also tried to add a rectangle to the group footer and selected Page Breaks before rectangle but the group footer still doesnt print on a page of its own. I would appreciate any suggestions.
I've read a bunch of threads and can't seem to find an exact problem as what I'm having.
I believe my problem is simple enough to understand, but might not be that simple to solve. I'm hoping otherwise.
My report shows columns:
CustomerNumber
CustomerName
SummedInvoiceAmounts (summed from SQL query)
Region
The problem is that we have the same CustomerNumber with multiple CustomerNames:
CustomerNumber CustomerName Sum Region
ABC advancedballoon 1000 East
ABC AdvancedBall. 1000 East
As you can see they are the same company but in our Accounting system they show up mulitple times (about 20 companies like this). This is from clerks adding in multiple ways or misspelling, etc. Can't fix, but have to work around.
Anyhow, I have my detail row that shows two lines for the companies like this and one line for the companies that are correct. I have this report I have added two groups "Region", "CustomerNumber".
If I put all the detail Fields down in the CustomerNumber footer and hide the detail row the report looks fine to the eye. When adding a Sum down in the Region footer field though; it pulls in the added amount and makes the total wrong.
I tried running value, but it's basically the same as the sum for what I need and it doesn't work. Is there a simple way to do this using the reporting tool? In Crystal this was very easy, but I haven't figured this out yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I have a sum , which is filtered within its table group, and then i have a fields in the footer. How would i aggregate these too together and use the result in another row within the footer.
I tried entering this:
=SUM(Fields!Period_1.Value,"table2_Period") / Max(Fields!Goal_1.Value)
but i get an error:
[rsInvalidAggregateScope] The Value expression for the textbox €˜textbox129€™ has a scope parameter that is not valid for an aggregate function. The scope parameter must be set to a string constant that is equal to either the name of a containing group, the name of a containing data region, or the name of a data set.

I have a report with a table. Inside the table I have a subreport in a group footer and I want to force a page break before the footer.
I've tried putting the subreport inside a rectangle and set the rectangle to have pages breaks but that doesn't work.
any ideas?
Thanks!
I ran into this a few weeks ago and found that several others had as well, but no one had yet found an answer. I found the answer (at least one of the answers) this weekend and wanted to share it. I had recently added a subreport to a group footer in a table and started getting an error. Depending on the data, the error wasn't always present. I didn't have a problem when I moved the subreport to any other area in the report.
Here is the error I was getting:
An error occurred during local report processing
An internal error occurred on the report server. See the error log for more details.
It was a local report (rdlc), so naturally, there was no error log <g>. I added an event handler for ReportError and collected this information:

This wasn't exactly enlightening, an exception in an ASSERT in the reporting services dll, but since I knew that results varied with different data, I tracked it down that way.
THE SOLUTION:
The problem occurs when data for group expression is null. If there is no subreport in the group footer, this isn't an issue, but if there is, you get the error. For instance, if your data comes from a SQL statement with a LEFT OUTER JOIN (as mine did), and the group expression uses a column that contains nulls as a result of the LEFT OUTER, this exception will be thrown. This one was VERY DIFFICULT to track down, but it's easily reproducable. It has nothing to do with what (if anything is) on the subreport, what the data the subreport uses looks like, whether there are parameters or not. It's purely having nulls in the data used by the group expression for the main report. I found that if I changed my SELECT from mytable.mycolumn to ISNULL(mytable.mycolumn, 0) the error went away.

I have a report (bills of lading for shipments) that uses a table to organize the data coming in and groups by customer. Each customer grouping has a header, body and footer in the table. A print run might generate 100 bills of lading, each between 1 and 4 pages long.
I have marked the group to force a new page when each new group occurs.
As it is the report runs beautifully EXCEPT that the footer prints wherever it happens to end up -- midway down the final page of the bill and looks quite goofy.
What I really need (and my client is really surprised that SSRS won't me) is to print the group footer at the bottom of the final page of each bill of lading.
Bills of lading may be several pages per customer, so until the group footer is hit, I don't want any footer info at all. As I said, it all works fine except for the final page of each bill, where the group footer occurs whereever it has ended up.

This post didn't get much of a response. So perhaps I should amend it -- If what I am trying to do is impossible, what would be the preferred way?
Hi,
Im currently writing a report in SSRS which requires to take data in the fields, manipulate and perform functions on it then display it within its own textbox. For example the field Cost is manipulated so that a column will show the cost depreciated after 5 years.
Cost Final Cost
500 250
1000 634
700 500
Footer: Totals 1384
My problem is that within each group (as the data is grouped by its type) I need to have a sum of the Final Cost data. As this is NOT a field I cannot use =Sum(Fields!FinalCost.Value, "group_1") but rather I need to use =Sum(ReportItems!FinalCost.Value, "group_1"). I know that SSRS does not allow this, but after trying to find an answer going extensively through google and many forums, I am not able to find a solution on how to sum up the Final Cost column.
If anyone has any ideas on how to resolve this issue I will be greatly thankful,
Cheers,
Ben
Hello,
I am having a problem trying to do some conditional formatting on the text color.
This textbox is in the Group Footer so i essentially want change the color to red if the SUM of one field in the group is less than the SUM of another field in the same group.
I am doing this:
=Iif(Sum(Fields!YTDChargeHours)< Sum(Fields!YTDForecast), "Red", "Black")
but i am getting this error:
[rsRuntimeErrorInExpression] The Color expression for the textbox €˜YTDChargeHours€™ contains an error: Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object.
