I am trying to do the following (without using a parameter box to drive the results)
I would like to be able to toggle the results instead of using a parameter.
The default view for the table data is any row that meets a threshold criteria (similar to a KPI)
I would then like for all of the data to be exposed when toggled which eliminates using IIF (unless I am missing something).
I would think that if I could reference the toggleState of a textbox I could do this (similar to a yes/no Show All parameter), but I found little to nothing on how to do this within Reporting Services.
I guess I could also use two datasets to achieve this, but I would prefer a more elegant result.
Greetings, I have five rows in a group header. The top row is a true header row with details that will always be there and will always be visible. The bottom four rows have their Visibility.Hidden property set to 'TRUE'. All four of the bottom rows are assigned the same Visibility.ToggleItem. Of the four bottom rows, any or all of them may not have data at any one time. I want to find a way of allowing the rows to toggle from hidden to visible, but if one or all of the rows have a field item whose value is 0 then that row must remain invisible regardless of whether it is toggled.
I am still working on this puzzle, but if someone can provide me with an easy solution while I struggle, I would greatly appreciate it.
I have seen other places where this question is asked, but I am still not seeing the answer clearly. If I have many groups that are collapsed and I want to expand them all at the same time, it there a way to accomplish this? Many talk about a param that can be passed in, but even if you have the parameter set, this is only for the initail state, is it not?
Ive got a table of items which holds the privacy settings for each user. The items can either be the value 1 = Yes ,or 0 = No. Is it possible to bind these two options to a checkbox? I tryed to simply bind it to the checkboxes "checked" property, But it errored. Does anyone know how to bind an int feild to a checkbox? cos in the long run I want to add ajax toggle items to the checkboxes, but i was also wondering why that errored, but i think its cos i did my binding wrong. thanks si!
I have a production database with input from 3 locations outstation. I need to bring down this server once in a while for tuning and other administrative stuff. Right now I'm in no position to shut the server down. Is there any way I can do this.
Also how can I have 2 databases and toggle between the 2 seamlessly without effecting the users. Does it have to be a mirror on the devices ? What do the professionals usually do
I have heard about clusters. Is this a solution for my problem and what is a cluster anyway ? Vijay
I have built a report using the Report Model but want to be able to collapse rows as is possible with the Toggle and Hidden attributes in normal reports. Can this be done?
I am trying to create a report that should have a dynamic toggle visible, so that when the parent is of a certain type the toggle button (+, -) would not appear and in the other case it will.
Is this possible? I can use expressions in the visible field but not in the toggle one, so how can i manage it?
I am writing a report that has two levels of groupings like this and the visibity is controlled by Title and Staff Grouping (Partner, Employee) for drilling down.
WTD Hours *Staff
*Manager
Joe 8 Max 8 Totals 16 *Senior Manager
Bob 7 Totals 7 Totals 23 *Partner
*Partner
Ed 20 Total 20 Totals 43 * = Toggle Item
Now, all this is fine except that when everything is collapsed, I want to show the totals on the group header and hide the group footer, like this:
I have the functionality working with the toggle states and visibility, but whenever the group is collapsed, all the formatting is lost and it is just whitespace not matching the rest of the row.
Is there any way to control this by some expression in the value, etc?
Is it possible to standardize sql views or functions to filter data for the user, before they view the report? For example if I have a SQL view that filters for "green, cotton-made socks", can this somehow be an option among others before a user presses "view report?"
A response is greatly appreciated. If this is possible, how ?
I'm attempting a create a matrix report that will have some rows with drilldown data and some without. On the rows without drilldown data, I wanted to hide the toggle image so that the user would know there was none available. So far, I've only been able to accomplish this by creating a duplicate row group and displaying no text for its cell. Then by changing its visibility, the toggle image would go away. However; while this makes the report look good, it breaks the export to excel because the other row column that contains the data must stay visible and the excel drill down functionality goes away.
Does anyone have a way of changing the visibility of the toggle image on a row by row basis within the Matrix control?
Hi, I have a matrix report containing a parameter.The count of groups may change based on the parameter's value.Also these groups are connected to each other with toggle property. For example; --If the parameter's value is "year", the report have three (year, month, day) groups.Day is connected to month and month is connected to year with toggle property. --If the parameter's value is "month", the report have two (month, day) groups.Day is connected to month with toggle property. --If the parameter's value is "day", the report have one (day) group.There will be no toggle property.
The question is: I wrote expressions for this report and set the visibility properties of the groups, but when I select the "day" or "month" value for the parameter, no groups are shown.I think the reason is "being connected to each other with toggle property".
I have seen a few posts in several forums about SQL Reporting Services 2005 not supporting the expand all / toggle all / or show all feature that many of us require for our report clients. A simple method I use is to create a report parameter names ShowAll. In the properties I have the following: Name is ShowAll / Data type is String / Prompt is Show All? and the Allowo blank value box is checked. In available values I chose Non-queried and in Label and Value I placed Yes - Collapsed and No - Expanded then in Default values I put Collapsed
Then on the field's initial visibility property, I changed the default from collapsed to expression and added the following:
I need to toggle visibility of group of columns in reporting services report, just like we can do for rows. I know that individual fields can be hidden, but i need to hide/show complete column.
I have a report with 30 to 100 line. I also have groups collapsed. When I expand a group, I get a postback and a 'toggle event', which causes the report to jump to the top. I would like to stay where I expanded the group. Any suggestion?
I'm not sure if this can be done. There are some threads that say yes and some that say no.
If my report's detail section is hidden unless toggled by group2 is there a way to retain the collapsed entries as collapsed when the report is exp[orted to excel?
Right now when I export to excel the report is all expanded. An export to pdf looks fine but I need to in excel.
I tried this and I must have done something wrong cause it did not work. http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2376478&SiteID=1
My orginal report rows are: Table header
Group1 group2 Details
In details I have the visibilty as hidden, toggle item as group2_item.
I did try creating group3 and set it as the the above thread said.
I already have a row visibility on the details group which is toggled by the Sum(Case_Load) Text box.
What I would now like to do is some columns to the right where the field is part of the details group but the column is only visible when it is toggled by the Sum(Case_Load) Text box.
I keep getting the message that "Toggle items must be text boxes that share the same scope as the hidden item or are in a scope that contains the hidden item, and cannot be contained within the current report item unless current grouping scope has a Parent"
On a Reporting Services 2005 report, I have a table with a single group row and a single detail row (and about 5 columns). The details are set up to toggle visibility based on a textbox in the group header called "txt_Order_Number". The order line item details are set with their initial visibility set as hidden. So, when you click on the Plus sign next to the Order Number, the detail rows display below.
However, what I'd like to do is change the background color of the toggled group header row when it is toggled and the details are displayed. Here's what's going on . . .
The row with the Order header information has every textbox set in bold. That's good. It makes a subtle distinction between the order detail rows and the order header row, so when you're looking at the dollar amounts on each line item and trying to add them up in your head to see whether they correctly add up to the dollar amount in the order header row, you can at least more easily see the total amount. However, it makes the whole overall report look funny because all of the order header information is in bold. What I really want to do is change the background color of the order header row to light gray or some other subtle color and change the font to Bold when the details are toggled to visible in order to distinguish that row as the header row.
In order to do this, I think I somehow need to get to a certain element of the Reporting Services object model called "Textbox.ToggleState". If I can get to that piece of the puzzle in an expression or even in code within the report, that should tell me the state of the textbox's toggle switch and I should be able to use that information to conditionally set the color of the textbox.(or every textbox in the row probably.) Here's all I could find out about this on TechNet
I just can't figure out how to get to that piece of information in a Reporting Services expression or in the report's code block.
Any suggestions? I'd appreciate a response even if it's "You can't do that." Actually, the best response someone might be able to provide might be a link to a sample showing how to get to any of the textbox properties like that.
I am creating a report with a Matrix and this report contain a collapse Matrix which it toggle from a certain field.
Now I am having two issue:First issue is that when I set visibility to hide and that the matrix can be toggle by a field is leaving a very unaesthetic space between rows.
The second problem is that when I toggle the field I would like another part of the report to hide.
Does it exists anything that would allow me to define an expression I can use in the visibility that I Can use to make disappear this part of the report when the + has been toggle and make it appear back when the - has been toggle?
I have a requirement where i have to display some data which is coming from a sub report when i click on an image. I have two problems here,
1) if i provide toggle on image text box it is displaying + symbol which i don't want 2) If i provide image properties -> action -> go to report -> it is displaying the values in a different page but my requirement is to display in the same page
Conclusion is : when i click on the image(without + symbolo) i have to display sub report values in the same page.
When I create a Report Server Project Using Visual Studio 2005 with SQL Server 2005 I can create a data source with no problem and the test shows it is good good.
When I next create a report and go to the query builder using that same data source and click on the query builder button I see the Query Builder screen, but there is no toggle button in the top left of the screen so I cannot go into the graphical mode to see the tables.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled both Visual Studio and SQL Server but I still have the same problem. What should I do to get the button visible on the screen?
I have been combing the Internet trying to find a way to use the SOAP API (ReportExecution2005) web service to render a report to HTML4.0 format with toggle items. From what I have read, the new web services should provide ASP.NET server-side postbacks from the toggle item images, but so far I have seen only the same behavior as was in RS 2000, which was that the toggle item images pointed back to the ReportServer address. The following is the device info settings that i have used to get the images to show up on the aspx page:
If I switch the HTMFragment to True I don't get any toggle item images to render on the page but the report still shows up, and when I actually set the StreamRoot paramter to something like this "http://[server]/[virtualdirectory]/GetImage.aspx?reportpath=[path]&streamid=" to render the toggle item images, I get a http 400 : Bad Request error page.
Can someone please provide some information or sample code on how to render an HTML4.0 report using the SQL 2005 Reporting Services web service and getting the toggle item images to render as well as work correctly.
I need help to hide [+]/[-] sign when a group doesnot have any item in it. Currently, I have a table with a group header where I put the companyName and in the detail section I put the users for that company. I want that, if a company doesnot have any users then there should not be any [+]/[-] sign next to it. Please help!!
I have a SSRS 2005 report with a table and several groupings. These groupings are made visible with toggle items. I am trying to determine how to make the associated group headings (entered within table header) visible or not visible depending on the visibility state of the groupings.
Example: (initial state with group1 only visible) Group1 Heading Count Sum +Group1 999 999
(click + sign to make visible group 2) Group1 Heading Group2 Heading Count Sum -Group1 999 999 +Group2 888 888
etc.. for remaining groups
I've tried toggling the table header column the same way I did the group, but the group scope isn't available so I don't know what to use. (Manually putting it in causes report error.) I don't know what visibility expression to use because I can't figure out what report item I can look at to determine the group's visibility "status" in order to make an expression.
Any ideas?
Note: I did see a similar post from sadsac, but the "answer" didn't address this.
I have a report that has a toggle item that toggles between showing and hiding report items specifically the detail rows, I am wondering can I also used this toggle item to change the font color of other report items. Exampl is I have a toggle item, EmployeeName that toggles the detail rows of the employee from visible to hidden. Can I also use this toggle to change the text color of other report items or highlighting different items.
I want to toggle the visibility of a report item in my page footer based on whether or not a particular subreport has been rendered.
The report has 3 subreports. The subreport above the subreport in question can span several pages, so the subreport I want information on can render on page 1 (for a short report) or page 12 (for example) on a longer report.
Is there a way to determine within the main report when a particular subreport has been rendered and is currently visible?
I am facing whitespace issue in my SSRS report. I have simple tablix report with 10 columns. I am trying to toggle column 5 to 8 using on column 4. The problem I am facing is the whitespace. Now column 5 to 8 are only visible when we expand column 4. When the report is rendered on the screen, there is a huge gap between column 4 and 9.
Currently, I am using the SSRS 2005 and try to toggle the report columns similar to Excel's column grouping function. Users can expand "+" / collapse "-" the columns in the render excel report. It works fine when I excute the tabular report in the web yet the toggle function is missing when I render the report to an Excel report. I am not sure the toggle function will only work for the row items or both as the excel report can keep the toggle function for the row items. Please help.
Keep in mind this is my first compiled SQL program Stored Procedure(SP), copied from a book by Frasier Visual C++.NET in Visual Studio2005 (Chap12). So far, so theory, except for one bug (feature?)below. At some point I'm sure I'll be able to laugh about this, akinto forgeting a semi-colon in C/C++, but right now it's frustrating(time to sleep on it for a while).Problem--For some reason I get the error when trying to save files where twotables (called Author and Content), linked by a single key, form arelationship.By simple comparison of the source code in the textbook and my program(below) I found the difference: instead of, like in the textbook, theStored Procedure (SP) starting with "CREATE PROCEDURE", it*automatically* is (was somehow) given the name of 'ALTER PROCEDURE'and I cannot change this to "CREATE PROCEDURE" (you get an error in MSVisual Studio 2005 Pro edition of "There is already an object namedXXX in the database", see *|* below). No matter what I do, the SP isalways changed by Visual Studio 2005 to 'ALTER PROCEDURE'!!!(otherwise it simply will not save)Anybody else have this happen? (See below, others have had this happenover the years but it's not clear what the workaround is)Keep in mind this is my first attempt and I have ordered somespecialized books on SQL, but if this is a common problem (and Isuspect it's some sort of bug or quirk in VS2005), please let me know.Frankly I think SQL as done by VS2005 is messed up.Here are two Usenet threads on this problem:(1) http://tinyurl.com/2o956m or,http://groups.google.com/group/micr...1454182ae77d409(2) http://tinyurl.com/2ovybv or,http://groups.google.com/group/micr...9e5428bf0525889The second thread implies this is a bug--any fix?Also this bug might be relate to the fact I've switched (and notrebooted) from Administrator to PowerUser after successfully changingthe permissions in the SQL Server Management Studio Express (see thisthread: http://tinyurl.com/2o5yqa )Regarding this problem I might try again tommorrow to see if rebootinghelps.BTW, in the event I can't get this to work, what other SQL editor/compiler should I use besides MS Visual Studio 2005 for ADO.NET andSQL dB development?RL// source files// error message:'Authors' table saved successfully'Content' table- Unable to create relationship 'FK_Content_Authors'.The ALTER TABLE statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint"FK_Content_Authors".
