I have a problem where i need to show 18 columns in 1 row but can get it in one row, the most the user wants is 2 rows but the first 4 columns cant be touched.
eg.
row1 Col1 Col2 Col3 Col4 Col5 Col6 Col7 Col8 Col9 Col10 Col11
row2 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
I am kind of lost on how to show this in a nice format.
Does anyone have any creative idea, as i would like to capture the users.
The Fields are also lengthy so it makes it difficult.
I have deployed a report that is configured for landscape printing. It does print in landscape, however, only the first seven columns appear on the first page and the other five columns appear on the next page. Is there a method, like in print preview setup in MS Excel, where we can scale down the print (like to 80%) so all columns appear on each page?
I've thrown together a homegrown Reporting Services viewer that is basically a wrapper for a browser control. It will reside in our app alongside the Crystal report viewer until we have phased out Crystal.
We have a report that prints correctly (in landscape) in the folder that is deployed to but the linked report in a different folder prints in portrait?
The goal is to produce a single PDF consisting of a number of subreports. Some are landscape, others are portrait. The subreports may also be run as independent reports. The master report defaults to the width of the widest subreport, which is landscape. This causes all portrait subreports to spill over. Your suggestions / comments are appreciated.
I have a report that I need to develop in landscape format. Also I need it to be landscape when converting to PDF and taking printouts. let me know the exact height and width measurements in inches for the report and report body?
I am trying to print a report in landscape mode from VS 2003 from designer preview or at run time. The users don't want to change a mode manually. I tried to make width 11 or 11.5 in and height 8.5in with zero margins and 0.5in (tried a lot of combinations) - doesn't work! still printing in portrait. Please help! Thank you
Case: Exporting Report to PDF/Printing/TIFF Report: Contains 1 table with 19 Columns. 1 column is static, the other 18 are visible at the users descretion. Report when printed/exported to pdf spans 2 pages naturally, 16 on the first page, 3 on the second, and the column widths have been adjusted to provide a perfect page span .
User A elects to hide two of the columns, and show the rest. The report complies and the viewable version is perfect, the excel export is perfect.. the PDF export on the first page causes every fith column, starting with the last column that was hidden to be expanded to take up additional width. On the spanned page, it renders the first column on that page correctly, then there is a white space gap equal to the width of the hidden columns and then the rest of the cells show with the last column expanded to take up the same width that the original 2 columns were going to take up, plus its width.
We have tried several different settings to see if it helps this issue or makes it worse. So far cangrow/canshrink/keep together have made no impact. It is not possible to increase the page size due to limited page size selection availablility for the client. There are far too many combinations of what the user can elect to show or hide to put together different tables to show and hide on the same report to remove this effect.
Any help or suggestion on this issue would be appreciated
I have an interesting problem to report that I'm hoping someone will be able to assist in solving.
I have a report that contains a table inside of a list. When I view this report on my local machine via Visual Studio, everything appears normal, the columns are all the correct size. However, as soon as I publish this report to the report server and attempt to view it via Report Manager, one of the columns expands horizontally!
From all of the documentation I have read, I understand that Reporting Services does not provide the ability for columns to expand horizontally, only vertically. Can anyone help explain why this is happening or a possible solution to turn this automatic expanding off?
I want to repeat line on each page of report on PDF while using 2 columns on report. The problem is that if i use table border it will also repeat after second table. i want a line between two tables.
Adding more columns in a matrix report that don€™t belong to the columns drilldown dimensions€¦
That is, for example, having the following report:
Product Family
Product
Country City Number of units sold
Then I would add some ratios, that is, Units Sold/Months (sold per month) and other that is the average for Product Family (Units Sold/Number of Product Family), for putting an example€¦ some columns should be precalculated prior to the report so do not get into it, the real problem I don€™t see how to solve is adding one or two columns for showing these calculated column that doesn€™t depend on the column groups but they do for the rows groups€¦
Any guidance on that?
The only way I am seeing by now is to set it as two different reports, and that is not what my client wants€¦
How can I set the page orientation to landscape? I tried to set "printDocument.DefaultPageSettings.Landscape = true;" but it didn't work. I have spent hours fixing the problem but I couldn't get it work. Below is the code:
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.
Hello, I have a report that I am creating in sql reporting services, I want my report to be exported in landscape PDF file format. I Went to the report properties then set the width = 11 in and height 8.5.
When i export my report to a PDF file it did not display it in landscape format!
Do i need to make the report go sideways? if yes how! for example
how would i write a textbox which has the label Time sideways?
I ahve a report, that has 24 fields in the layout. When I tried to print the reprot, it prints BLANK pages, in between and at the start. I have confirmed that the width BODY of the report, < width of the report properties. It still prints blank pages.Pl advise.
I have a report that needs to be on landscape, but am only limited to printing portrait style when I render a PDF report in reporting services. Is it possible to render a report in landscape or even better, size the PDF via reporting services.
All of my reports that are formatted 11x8.5 are outputting to PDF correctly. When I open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat, it appears in Landscape on the screen. However, when I click the print button, by default it is printing it in portrait. I can go to File-->Print Setup and change the orientation from Portrait to Landscape, but why doesn't it translate from the file orientation? This may just be a bug in the Adobe Acrobat software, but I want to make sure there isn't something I can do.
I'd like a parameter for the report layout: Portrait Or Landscape. So is it possible to set the page high and width using an expression or in code based on my parameter?
Also on a similar note. I want a parameter for 'Page Break After X'. Is it possible to apply a page break after my table group X based on this parameter? I know if I edit the group I can tick 'page break at end' but I can't apply an expression to this.
I have reports, set to print on Landscape and Legal ie 14 * 8.5. However, when certain users try to print the report, it prints it in Letter, even though the report is set to print in legal /landscape.
The strange part is that for most users it prints correctly in legal, only for some it is on letter. Any idea why this would happen?
Does anyone know how to prevent automatic landscape setting? I need it to print an invoice/receipt-like form which using custom paper size (width: 8.5in, height 5.5in)..it is half of letter size and must be printed as portrait.
RS has problem that it turns landscape automatically if the width is longer than height, which is not expected. By the way Crystal Report can do this successfully but CR has another different problem also......
Can RS do the same as CR in term of page layout? Please help...
My company has a .Net app that embeds the reportwriter for displaying (and printing) reports. This seems to work fine visa vis printing reports in landscape mode, although odly if you look at the printer properties it SAYS it is priting in portrait. In any case, the problem comes when this default reportwriter isn't used but rather an rdl file is generated programmatically. No matter what width and height settings we use, the document unfailingly prints in portrait mode. I've looked to see whether there is any way to force the printer mode, but it seems there isn't, at least not through an rdl. Or what SHOULD work (setting the width larger than the heigh) does not. I'm wondering if anyone else here has run into difficulties like this if there are any solutions or places I might look for answers? 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?
Hi, I'm trying to create a report with dynamic columns. I mean that the user is able to select if he wants to see a double drill report with client group and product group, or agents with clients, or everything else he needs. I tried to insert some variables in the query that extracts data from report, and using that variables like parameters, but Reporting Services always get the parameter default value and not the correct value i give him. How can I solve my problem? There is another way to obtain dynamic reports?
But If I change default parameter with everyone I need it always run correctly! The real problem is in execution mode, it not takes the parameter i give it danamically. I can see only the default columns I set by default. The thing I need to kwnow is: is this method correct or this problem can be solved in any other manner?
I have a matrix report and it doesn't add titles to the different groupings. And when you try and add a text box it spans across all grouping columns. How do you add titles to these columns?
Currently, we are using .net 1.1 and SQL 2005. To integrate RS without having to open new browser windows or launch the report manager, we are using the ReporService.asmx service to render the reports. One thing that we are having a difficult time with is allowing columns to be sortable. In report manager, we have sortable columns sorting without a problem, but once the page is rendered within our product using the service, it is rendered without the sortable columns.
While going through the different flags within the service I found that there is a flag for Javascript (which is what I'm assuming I need) but it doesn't change the report when I enable it. I am wondering if there is a combonation of flags that need to be set to allow the sorting to work or if it just not possible to do sorting when rendering the HTML sent from the service. Hopefully this is enough infomation to lead to some answers with this. Thanks.
I have a matrxi report with 6 Columns (Col 1, 2, ...6). Based on the parameters I select I wanted to hide 3 of the columns (Col 2, 4 and 6. But the problem is when I hide the columns, it leaves a gap. That means, the matrix report shows Col 1, 3 and 5 with gap in between the Columns.
There is no Column Visibility property in matrix report.
Please help me as I am looking to solve this issue for a long time now.
