Is It Possible To Dynamically Define A Report Size When Called As A Subreport?
May 12, 2008
I have created a report that displays a limited number of rows and columns when called as a sub-report. If the report is called directly, all rows are returned and all columns are shown. I would like to control how large the report is (BodySize) when called as a sub-report as not all columns will be shown. This sub-report is part of a dashboard where several other sub-reports are also shown, so reducing the size is important. I hope to avoid the need to have a version of the report when called from the dashboard and also a version when called in expanded mode.
I am having a main report having two subreports, say M1,S1 and S2 respectively.
The issue is S2 normally tend to go beyond one page, for all pages except first page of the of the subreport I am getting the page header and footer blank,
Actually this is not loading the ReportItems that are used in main report but it shows text boxes containing strings for eg . "My Name" and date functions eg Today()
I am trying to create a report with a sub report in Sql Server 2012 using Report Builder Version 3. I can run the subreport without any problems. I read where using a shared connection can cause this error so both the main report and the subreport use a connection that is embedded in my report.
For testing, I created the subreport without a parameter and added it to the main report. When I ran it that way, the report worked and sub report displayed the data. So I know it can read from the database.It seems to only give me this error when I am trying to tie the two reports together using a parameter.
How do I hide a subreport if the parent report row containing the subreport is a certain value? I am attempting to create a statement with ageing buckets. In the main body of the report I have to display payments and invoices. If the invoice row is blank, I need to hide the row containing the subreport.
I want to implement error handling my SSIS package. for this I am putting an execute SQL task for a container(which contains different interlinked tasks) in event handler.
Say my first task fails in this container.Immedaitely my sql task which inserts the error code and description should exceute in the event handler and populate my error table in OLAP database.
Hi, I was wondering if it is posible to define the size of my Flat File Destination. I need a file of 2500 bytes. Is this posible to define it in SSIS? Thanks for your help!
In a matrix, is it possible to have the cell dynamically size itself horizontally (like a horizontal scroll bar)? The numbers are wrapping to the next line if they're too large to fit in the cell and it is too complicated for me to balance at compile time how large these numbers will be with the number of columns that are on the report.
This used to work just fine until about a week ago. We're not sure if there was a MS update that caused this behavior. If the user saves the report to a local disk instead of opening it, they can save it successfully and open it later.
Please i have lots of reports, i would like to pass parameters, i may pass or i will not pass.
but all of my reports are using stored procs from sql server database.
please guys can some one give me an idea how can i have optional parameters defined in the stored procedure.
in the reports layout collections property where i have to specify the parameters need to run the report there how can i define. wether it is optional of required parameter.
i see the parameters collections object there are hidden, pass null or pass a default value or pass the info via query etc.
please help thank you very much for the information.
I got a Report Model Project, in which i have created a model of my Database and deployed it on the server...
Then I have a Report Server project for my reports. The reports are using Report Model as the DataSource...
Now in the Report Designer, inside a report, when I define query for Dataset using Report Model , I can't find a way to write a left Outer Join query... It always performs Inner Joins... was wondering ether Report model supports Outer Joins ?... I might achive this using two different datasets but then i'll end up using two data regions e.g. 2 tables, but i don't want to do that... instead I want all of my data to appear in a single table which can reference to single dataset.
Is there a way to define left outer joins using Report model ? I am new to this Reporting Servces and I might be missing something here... would any body please point out that
I have a report which will one day display some data from an analysis services cube. my first step is to create a drop down parameter enabling the user to choose the date. I'd like to display only dates that have data, and I'd like it to default to today.
So I've created a dataset that will be the datasource for the dropdown displaying the available non-empty dates, which works fine.
SELECT measures.turnover ON COLUMNS,
nonempty([TBL DIM DATE].[DATE_ONLY].[DATE_ONLY].ALLMEMBERS ) ON ROWS
FROM [Itdev1 Hk]
I've also set the report parameter up to be a queried paramter,and to use the above dataset as it source, with [DATE_ONLY] displayed. and [DATE_ONLY] as the value.
Now, how do I get it to default to the last valid member in the list?
Can someone please explain how i would define a multi-valued default parameter within the report Properties -> Parameters. I have an OLAP based report with multi-value parameters. I do not want to set the default values from within BIDS. Instead, I'd like to do this from the ReportServer (after report deployment). I have no problem when i enter a single value as a 'default value', for example: ReportParm1 String [Deal Dim].[Shelf].&[AAM] But, how would i define it with multiple values as a 'default value' ?, for example: ReportParm1 String [Deal Dim].[Shelf].&[ABC] , [Deal Dim].[Shelf].&[DEF] NOTE: It appears that you cannot use expressions, such as the 'split' function in the 'default value' space. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you.
The current way I have my asp.net 2.0 web app running reports is, based on an interface the user selects the criteria for a report. The .RDL file is created dynamically based on the user's selections. I then need to SOAP the dynamically created report to the report server and then the report runs fine. BUT it requires Adminstrative rights to do this. Can this be accomplished without giving the local machine admin rights. I am sorry if this question has been answered before but i have not been up here in a while.
is it possible to have a kind of dynamic subreport in a main report.
Let me illustrate this with an example:
Next to my table i would like to have a window (subreport) that changes content whenever i click on a different value inside my table. In the subreport i would like to display detail information on specific cells in my table.
The report that I must create is related to the production order. Conceptually it can be seen as a tree. Where the root of the tree are the information Header of the production order. The principals children of the Root are the Operations and the Requirements to produce such order. For every Operation they are printed the Plants that are used and the Alternative Resources to effect the production.
There is a method to create a multilevel report? I think that is not for nothing logical to create a single table containing many heterogenous fields because it would have to repeat already numerous information at the changing of a field. I have created one datatable for every entity and I have tried to use subreport control, but evidently mistake in something. In order to obtain the wanted result (for example to print the Order production Head information if the report jump at new page) I have tried to combine the use of List control, Table control and Subreport control in file rdlc, but I have not found the just combination. Someone of you has already had to crare a multilevel report? Is possible to create a sub-subreport structure?
I have do that in VB.NET with ReportViewer local mode. I have posted the topic in this section because the problem of designe report is the same with local mode and remote mode.
What we've found is that when you have two reports where one navigates to the other, if you click on the second page of the second report, it takes you to the second page of the original report. If you navigate over to the subreport again and click for the second page, it works appropriately. This is definitely a no-go for production code and this may delay our ship date because I would think this is definitely undesirable.
Conditions:
ASP.NET Report Viewer using Remote Reports Report that links to another report Both reports return more than one page Reporting Services installed Steps to Reproduce:
Download the source code here.
Follow the directions (near the bottom of the post) to get the project set up.
Run it and click on a link in the first report to go to the second report.
Click the arrow for page 2 of the second report.
Notice how it takes you back to page 2 of the first report (this doesn't happen when you are in preview mode in the Reporting Services project and I don't believe it does this in a smart client application).
Click on a link in the first report to go back to the second report.
Click the arrow for page 2.
Notice how it takes you to page 2 of the second report.

So what I am looking for is both a workaround for now and if this is determined to be a bug, to be fixed in the next service pack.
I was wondering if anyone knew how to take a value from a subreport and compare it to a value iwthin the main report. We are trying to see if the value in the subreport is greater than the value returned in the main report. We want to make the value test red if it is greater than. I know how to compare these values if they were in the same report, but when it comes to subreports I am lost. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
I have 2 reports where 1 is a subreport and the other one is a main report. Can i change or refer to a control(item) in the main report depending on the value of an item in the subreport, when the subreport is being run?
I have a base folder (Report Folder A) which has several reports. One of these is a report that is simply a subreport of one of the others in the folder (it uses different default parameters, which is why it's necessary).
I then created another folder (Report Folder B) for users who only have access to some of the data in the reports...so they have browser access to Folder B but not Folder A. All of the reports for the users work except for the one that contains the subreport. When I run the report with a subreport I get the message: "Error: Subreport could not be shown". I'm guessing this is because the users don't have access to the base report. Does anyone have an idea of how to work around this without giving the users access to the base report (in Folder A)?
Is there anyway that i can access subreport field in main report? I just want it to be displayed. Thats it. I can not put subreport field in main report bcz it is based on the parameter passed by main report.
Here's my problem. I have a subreport that shows data and labels if data is returned. However, if no data is returned, the subreport doesn't show at all. I have a message on the subreport I would like to show if no data is returned, but the subreport won't show at all. Any ideas??
SUBREPORT (License info to the right) SHOULD PRINT TO RIGHT OF ADDRESS INFORMATION ON LEFT. LIKE THIS...
Name ABC-12345 Address line 1 DEF-12345 Address line 2 GH1-12345 City, State Zipcode
The data is from one table and looks like this. Both the main report and subreport use a shared data souce.
Name Address line 1 City State Zipcode License ------------- ------------------- ------------- --------- ---------- --------- Joe Schmoe 123 Maple Street Clearwater Florida 33777 ABC-12345 Joe Schmoe 123 Maple Street Clearwater Florida 33777 DEF-12345 Joe Schmoe 123 Maple Street Clearwater Florida 33777 GHI-12345
All lines are header lines. Subreport has been placed in top header line. IT IS PRINTING SIMILAR TO THIS BUT SHOULD PRINT AS FIRST STATED ABOVE...
Name ABC-12345 DEF-12345 GH1-12345 Address line 1 Address line 2 City, State Zipcode
ISSUE: I would like the subreport to PRINT ALONG WITH the address information to its left. In Crystal Report a subreport could "Underlay Following Sections" - a wonderful feature Microsoft maybe should have copied. Is there a way to duplicate "underlay" behavior in SQL Reporting ? Thanks.
UPDATE: Coworker found workaround. Can concatenate Name, Adress line 1, Address line 2, City, State and Zipcode into one field. Would still like to know a more straightforward way.
This is the part that I need help. I need to use an original value from the main report and a "return" value from the subreport. Main Report (Footer) Sum(FinalPayment) + SubReport.Sum(PaymentAdances)
Is it possible to pass a return value back to the main report from a subreport?
I have two subreports on one master report who's parameters @ReportDate would be set to the same date each time the report is run. When i run the master report i get an error for each report that tells me that one or more parameters required to run the report have not been specified. How do i pass the parameter i want to use in both reports from the master report through to the subreports.
I need to convert a Crystal report that contains three subreports. Each of these subreports uses a different stored procedure to obtain data. The main report uses data from these subreports to calculate averages in the footer etc.
How do i get the data contained in these subreports so i can use it in my main report?? Thanks in advance
