Migrating From Crystal Reports Charts Using TopN And Other To Reporting Services
Mar 6, 2007
I am currently migrating several Crystal Reports that have charts. The chart series is set to use the TopN values in a count, and combine the rest of the series into one series titled "Other". I see how to filter the chart using TopN, however I need to still show the rest of the data grouped as "Other". I think the solution I need is to create a group expression that uses some sort of IIF function to create the "Other" group, but I haven't found a function that I can use to get the results I need. Any ideas?
I am in the middle of migrating all Crystal Reports over to SSRS and am having some troubles converting formulas used in Crystal Reports to functional expressions in SSRS. For example: My formula for one of the crystal reports is the following. Very simple logic but how would I build it as an expression to work in my SSRS report?
IF {CUST_ORDER_LINE.ORDER_QTY}-{CUST_ORDER_LINE.TOTAL_SHIPPED_QTY} < 0 THEN 0 ELSE {CUST_ORDER_LINE.ORDER_QTY}-{CUST_ORDER_LINE.TOTAL_SHIPPED_QTY}
Hello SQL Server Experts, Data Analysts, and Report Writers et al:
re: Reporting Options with SQL Server
I wanted to propose an offshoot to the pryor thread:
Would anyone take a stab at comparing Access Reports, Crystal Reports, Cognos or other options to all the Reporting Services and its components offered as part ofSQL Server, especially as to extracting data from SQL Server into a report format?
I guess this is a far as capabilites, ease of use, limitations, and especially formatting or presentation of the end report product?
Thank you to all, and I hope this is a beneficial discussion to others.
Crystal reports to Reporting Services Is there any way I can convert Crystal reports to Reporting Services instead of creating reports again in Reporting Services?
I am converting a crystal report cross-tab, in to a reporting services matrix. The cross-tab uses a GridRowColumnValue function to hide/show the data & total fields. Is there an equivalent in reporting service or a workaround method for this?
In SSRS reports i have multiple charts and tables. per page i have to display one chart and one table. How to put page break after the chart and table. I have not used rectangle. I created all the charts and tables in the body area.
We currently have a report generated weekly running script which creates an excel file and pivot tables. Using pivot tables we can drag and drop the various required fields and the report changes instantly. But i was told there is a limitation of size while using pivot tables.
Can this report be easily created with almost all the flexibility in reporting services, if so could you please guide me with some sample report or tutorials.
currently there is a some store procedures thats run every week using a DTS manually, is there a way of automating this.
I'm having problem with Charts any good website or books i can read up on just can't anything good on charts I need to use 2 pie chart and 1 bar chart but i can't get it to work like i wanted to
I'm not sure what Series and Category is used and how to stack the fields in the Charts
I am new to reporting services and I am stuck. I have a report I am trying to design, it has startdate and end date as parameters, I als have a non-queried parameter with the values of month,week,user,hour. These parameter values create a drowndown box on the report, What I am trying to figure out is how to display information in a chart depending on which item is selected i.e (month,week,user etc....). The original report is in access and I am converting it to reporting services, I know there is third party software out there but, I really want to use reporting services.
Hi all,I have created on Chart using Chart control But legend names are by default 'Series1','Series2'. How to change these names according to x and y axis values names. Help me
I have some data from SQL server which contains NULL values for certain fields. I have to create a chart with sum of a field. There is no category and series groups, we are just showing the total sum of a field in chart. Since I have NULL in my source data, nothing is displayed in the chart. I cannot exclude this record from dataset as I have to use this record for other charts. I have to do some filtering in the chart area itself. I have given IsNothing() in the filter of chart properties. It does not work for me. Even I tried to give IsNothing() in the exp of  Sum() .
I have been asked to derive a bar charts in SSRS. Each bar would represents a different category and each bar should come with different colors. No. of categories might vary every time, it is not fixed. How to achieve this dynamically?
I need some help regarding Custom Colors implementation for Charts in the Reporting Services.
What we are trying to do is to make every color for every Series(see example below) to be a customized Corporate color.
For example each of the series on the Chart should be in specific Custom Color:
Series 1 - "LightBlue" Series 2 - "LightYellow"
Series 3 - "DarkBrown"
All I found from MSDN is how to do it in the Chart Properties in a Code section (right click on the report outside the chart -> Properties -> Code tab -> paste the Custom Code ).
And then to use it in the Chart color definition as:
Code Snippet=Code.GetColor( Series# )
But we are trying to do it in a separate C# class that would be updated only in one place, instead of changing 30 reports each time something is changed. So that it could be generic.
The C# class:
Code Snippet
namespace CustomColorPalette
{
public class CustomPalette
{
public CustomPalette()
{
}
public static string GetColor(string GroupingValue)
Error 303 [rsCompilerErrorInCode] There is an error on line 2 of custom code: [BC30451] Name 'CustomColorPalette' is not declared. c:developmentvoyagerreportsvoyager convert reports.rootvoyager convert reportsReport_007D.rdl 0 0
2.
Second way I tried:
Then I put a code into a Custom Code section of a report:
And after compilation I am getting an error like this:
Error 302 [rsCompilerErrorInExpression] The BackgroundColor expression for the chart €˜chart2€™ contains an error: [BC30456] 'X' is not a member of 'ReportExprHostImpl.CustomCodeProxy'. c:developmentvoyagerreportsvoyager convert reports.rootvoyager convert reportsReport_007D.rdl 0 0
Is there any workaround? Or all I can do is to make the Custom Colors manually in each report, and if something need to be changed - I will need to change it in each report separately
I have a requirement to convert reports from Crystal Reports to SQLServer Reports. Is there any tool to do this? or Do I need to redesignevery report in SQL Server Reports?Madhivanan
I'm looking to build a report that is basically a series of line charts that is plotting a value over time. Â I can accomplish this one chart/dataset at a time, but I believe with 'List's this can be achieved in a more automated fashion.If I have some data similar to this:
I want the charts grouped by the Area_ID, and then each Location_Name is a Series in that chart. Â So in this example, I would end up with 2 charts (Areas 1 & 2), each have 2 series (Area 1: Site1, Site2 and Area 2: Site3, Site4)Is it possible to build this with a list? or do I need to structure the data differently?
I am able to preview my report in Microsoft Visual Studio with a chart embedded at the top of the report. However after uploading the report to Report Manager, the chart is blank. How can I get the chart to be visible in Report Manager? I am using SQL Server 2012 on a Windows Server 2012 R2 machine. I can see the chart if I edit the report in Report Building in the print layout mode. I can also see the chart in my Microsoft Visual Studio Project.
I have a column bar chart which displays values for each month. As per the requirement, I am displaying the column values by selecting "Show labels" options. I see few values overlap on the column bars.
Report 1:Â This report has a tablix and a pie chart which displays member counts for genders.Dataset is written such that the gender names are always displayed in the tablix even when the count is Zero for Female and Male
Report 2:Â This report has a tablix and a pie chart which displays member counts for category Age.Dataset is written such that the age category names are always displayed in the tablix even when the count is Zero for age categories
Both Report 1 and Report 2 are place in separate rectangles and then these 2 rectangles are place in one single rectangle.Now I want to hide this main rectangle with an expression.
We have recently migrated to SSRS2012 and since this time any report with a gauge or a chart within will not render. Upon researching even newly created reports will not render them.Â
I am migrating my reports from crystal 8 to reporting services 2005 but before this my client wants answers of following question.Can anybody provide me answer or link related to mentioned question...
1 -Will there be any performance improvement when the same Report (considering big data) is being run with Sql-Server reporting services compared to the one with Crystal report engine?
2- Is it possible to make the labels which are part of Top Palette like €œ1 of 1€?, €œFind€?, €œNext€?, €œSelect a format€?, €˜Export€? according to the Account language?
3- Can both Versions of Reporting Tools (SQL-Reporting service and Crystal Report) run on the same machine? 4- What are the limitations of this Tools like whether there are any additional load on Database Server because of the involvement of Reporting services which are installed on DB Server. 5- Whether there are additional (to Crystal Report) types of Graph formats, Export file types available? 6- How is the licensing done for SQL-Server Report services?

I am migrating our reporting services from 2000 to 2005. I am following the instructions in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143724.aspx. I am currently using the Report Server Configuration tool to restore the encryption key. I click "Restore", point to the backup that I created at the beginning of the process, enter the password, and the process begins. I get a check mark and a message saying "Restoring Encryption Key." The problem is that it never comes back from this. I let it run for over an hour and finally clicked one of the previous steps to abort this. I went back and started it over. Again, it has been running for over an hour. I get no errors; it just does not complete. How do I proceed? Thanks in advance for any assistance.
I am little bit scared that if i upgrade reporting server db to 2005, My report won't work. I just wanna test with some reports in SQL 2005 reporting services.
1) what should i do( I have already installed Reporting services in 2005 (64-bit)? 2) Can i backup Report server db and Report Tempdb database and restore in SQL 2005 but these database already exists in SQL 2005.? 3) If i upgrade these database , Will it effect my 2000 Production Reports?
My issue is with converting multi-value parameters:
In Crystal Reports, you can set a parameter to accept multiple vales (Discrete, Range or Discrete and Range).
As an example:
I have a database table with a column called ID. I can create a parameter called param_id and set the options of the parameter to "Allow multiple range values".
With this setup, I can limit the result set of the report by comparing the param_id parameter to the ID column in the database. Because param_id is a multi-value range parameter, I can pass it the following data: 1 - 50 60 - 80 150 - 127
This will only return results within those ranges.
Does anyone know if SSRS provides this kind of functionality?
I had to migrate my report server (2008R2) to a new domain. I built new server and restored the old ReportServer and ReportServerTempDB into new server and also restored the certificate from old server. The Report Server is running but I don't have full access to all server futures anymore, looks like it's AD authentication messed up. My new account is Admin on new server but I can't see all options, like New Data Source, or wehn going on report level to manage to see all option such as Parameters, Subscriptions, Data Source.
hello good afternoon, I am having this issue, I need to move reporting services from one server to another, but I need that credentials, roles and reports stay the same. But as the reporting services is integrated with sharepoint, dont know if I can move both at the same or it has to be done one at a time. this is just data migration, but still I will like to Know how it can be done having the same structure with the roles and credentials. or it is prefered to do a ghost?? but the issue will be that we have the reporting services in one place and the data in another... don´t know how this will affect. thanks in advanced for the help.
