Modifying Repeating Group Headers So That They Are Different On Subsequent Pages
Jan 7, 2008
It is using a table to display a very large amount of data (a basic list of information) with groups. Each of the groups can span multiple pages, so the user may not realize where the grouping actually began (I am repeating the group headers). Therefore, I would like to modify the group header when it is repeated across multiple pages by simply adding the text, "(cont.)" to the header so the reader can easily see that the group started on a prior page. There does not appear to be any standard test function for this condition. Using Previous() for this case does not work. This cannot be a new issue and must have been solved; any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Sorry if this has been asked before, I did search the forum but could not find an answer to this question...
The Settings: I'm currently using a single TABLE DETAIL ROW with HIDE DUPLICATES in Col1 and Col2. The LONGDESCRIPTION field can be expected to take 2 row heights worth of space because it wont fit. I've also got CAN INCREASE TO ACCOMODATE CONTENTS and CAN DECREASE TO ACCOMODATE CONTENTS selected.
The Problem: When Printing/PrintPreviewing Page1, the Height of Rows 2/3/4 ARE THE CORRECT SIZE (only 1 row high, meaning that can decrease to accomodate contents works). BUT when Printing/PrintPreviewing Page2, the Height of Rows 6/7/8 FOLLOW THE HEIGHT of ROW 5 (two rows high, meaning that can decrease to accomodate contents DOES NOT WORK).
Rows 2/3/4 has the same Row Height as Row 1 ONLY ON PAGES after Page1. Rows 6/7/8 has the same Row Height as Row 5 ONLY ON PAGES after Page1.
Can decrease to accomodate contents does not seem to be working for Pages after page 1.
I have the option for repeating table headers for every page turn on as I would like the table headers repeated on every page. In the HTML report view, this works fine, however when the report is exported to pdf (a total of 80 some pages), when there is a table that contains a lot of data, the table headers are not displayed. I know this could be because the table includes a subreport and sometimes the subreport runs more than one page, but shouldn't the table header still be diplayed on the new page?
Is there something else that I need to check or should I move the table/column header information somplace else?
I achieved to get Fixed number of records per page ....but headers are not repeating in every page.... Is it possible to repeat headers on each page and fixed number of records per page please give me navigation.
I'm using RS2000 SP2 and am getting an issue when exporting to PDF. If I have a table that spans more than one page and I set the RepeatHeaderOnNewPage to True, then on occasion the table header will be displayed on top of the first few rows of data. It does not happen on all the pages or all the time and I can not find any information on this issue. Has anyone come across this before and solved it?
I have created a new report & add a table to it. When I select "Tablix Properties" and check on Columns Headers -> "Repeat Cheader columns on each page" the header columns do not repeat on each page. I also tried "Repeat header rows on each page". "Add page break before" seems to work ok. I am using VS 2008 9.0.30729.1 SP..I also tried deploying but it still does not work on the deployed version.
I am having a problem with headers printing on separate pages. I have a report in RS 2000 that consists of 4 tables. Each table has several tables embedded within the table. The report has a header and each main table has two headers. The report layout is 11in. x 8.5in. with margins of 0.05in. The view space of the report is 10.2125in. Doing the math, I am withing the bounds of the paper; however, when I export to PDF, the report header and a legend table prints on the first page, the first table header prints on the second page, the second table header prints on the third page, the first data row prints on the fourth page and the rest of the table prints on the next page or several pages as needed. This repeats for the subsequent tables because I have the table property set to Insert page break after this table. I also have Repeat header rows on each page checked. I am at a loss as to why this continues to happen.
I has developed one report in SSRS in SSRS 2008 R2 and when I preview the report in report viewer in all pages Report Header is repeating, whereas when I export the same report to PDF strange for some pages header is missing.
When I searched in google for SSRS 2008 Microsoft agreed that it is a bug and they provided the hotfix. And this hotfix is not working for SSRS 2008 R2 as it is a higher edition but still I facing the same issue.
I've posted a feedback with Microsoft to see if we can get them to fix the issue described below, but so far no one from Microsoft has commented to let us know what they're doing about this problem! I'm posting this here to see if maybe we can get more people to rate this feedback or chime in on what a pain it is! Please feel free to add your own comments or how you had to work around this issue and whether or not you think this is something Microsoft should be addressing NOW.
Provide Individual Page Numbering per Group and Total Pages per Group
Currently in a Reporting Services report, you can't readily reset the page number for each group in a table, nor can you display the total number of pages per group. For example, if I'm printing invoices and each invoice is a separate group, I'd like to be able to print "Page 1 of 5" , "Page 2 of 5" etc. for the first invoice, then "Page 1 of 3" when the next invoice begins, and so on. This was easy in Crystal Reports. I realize that Crystal Reports has a two-pass process that enables that kind of pagination. However, this is REALLY important functionality that's just missing from Reporting Services and I'm hoping you'll provide it REALLY SOON! Yeah, I know there are work-arounds if you can know exactly how many rows of information there are on each page. But gosh! That's not practical, especially if you have second level groups inside the main group or text blocks in rows that can 'grow' to more than one line. I've read a couple of work-arounds, but none of them works correctly and consistently when more than one user is running the same report or when you print the report while you're looking at it on the screen. I still may need access to the overall report page number and the overall total number of pages, so don't get rid of that. It's just that if you're doing this already for the entire report, I don't see why you can't do it per group! Lots of people have been asking for this for years, and I don't understand why it hasn't been implemented.
I've read a few articles on this topic, but no one has come up with a decent work around. My theory is that Microsoft should be addressing this immediately. This is major functionality that's just plain missing from SSRS and should have been there from the start. If anyone from Microsoft can let us know what's going on with this issue or if anyone would like for me to clarify this further, feel free to let me know.
Need to export a report into csv. The report contains a table with one group, the group header contains infomation that needs to be shown once at the start of the csv. Currently the group header repeats for every record in the detail. How can I stop the group header from repeating.
I have a table where I need to display groupings of information. If there isn't any data for a given group, I still need to include that group and say "no applicable data" or somesuch underneath it. Any way of doing this?
Hi, I am creating a matrix and adding multiple row groups. The problem is that I am unable to display headers for each of these groups - can anyone help??
SELECT CONVERT(varchar(10),LL.loginDate,112) as loginDate, COUNT(LL.userID) AS TotalLogins, COUNT(DISTINCT LL.userID) AS TotalLogins_Unique
FROM tblLogins_Log LL WITH (NOLOCK) WHERE DateDiff(dd, LL.loginDate, GetDate()) < @numDays GROUP BY CONVERT(varchar(10),LL.loginDate,112) ORDER BY loginDate DESC
table structure below
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tblLogins_Log]( [loginID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [userID] [int] NULL, [IP] [varchar](15) NOT NULL, [loginDate] [datetime] NOT NULL ) ON [PRIMARY]
I have a report that has three levels of grouping including headers (containing titles) and footers (containing summary values). I would like to programatically show/hide these header/footer sections based on a Show/Hide paramter. Is that possible? Currently I work around the problem by just having two physical reports (one with the header/footers, one without)
Like many others, I have a large report that groups on invoices, and does a page break between each invoice. From reading other posts in this forum, I was able to reset the page number on the grouping, however, there are some things that I need to display only on the last page of each invoice, but I don't see how I will be able to determine when I'm on the last page for a particular invoice. Can I somehow determine up front the number of pages for a group so I know when I'm at the last page?
I am reading the official documentation on pages and extents. I've also read an article on the official SQL Server Blog (sadly, I can't link as a new member). These articles do a good job explaining what an extent is.Why use extents at all?I can't find a good example anywhere of how grouping pages into extents make SQL Server work more efficiently. Any good example of what SQL Server would be missing if it didn't have extents at all, and how extents fix this?
I am using SSRS (Sql server reporting services) for one of my report related to EIS-MIS. i want group wise page numbering and also display the no. of pages for that particular group.
e.g suppose group 1 has 5 pages then it should display page no. 1 /5, 2/5,3/5,4/5, 5/5. now suppose group change then it shold display 1/4 like this
I have already implemented groupwise page numbering using then custom code and i have call that function from the header portion of the report. now the question is how can i display the total no. of pages in particular group?
For that i have add one count column in query itself but as we know we can't use field value in header and footer portion and also we can't use global variables in data portion.
Hi, this is probably a simple question but I just can't figure it out. I'm using SQL Server Reporting Services 2005 sp1.
I'm trying to design a report that displays a particular embedded image on the first page, and then a different one on every subsequent page. I.e full, fancy company logo on the first page, and a trimmed down version on every other. In Crystal, I would have simply used the Report Header and Page Header sections to achieve this - easy.
However, in SQL Reporting Services, there is only a Page Header section - therefore whatever I place in the Page Header shows on every page. Now, I know how to stop it displaying on the first page, but I don't know how to display the other image instead.
I read in a support forum that it is possible to do this by "placing report items above or below your data regions" but I can't get it to work.
in microsoft doc there is written on the topic of BP Extensions with SSD's in SQL Server 2014: only clean pages are written to disk... does this mean data pages that have not been modified yet? or also those data pages that have already been modified, and where log has finished writing and the transaction has been marked as commited??
why are there clean data pages being written to L2 cache to make space for other not modified pages? I mean, shoudnt they be modified first, before letting other unmodified data pages into the Cache? I mean they have still to be modified..that makes no sense to me to page them out and page them in again just for other data pages...
I was trying to use inline views, then sub-query etc. Still can't get quite what I want.
So for example take a personID where they are registered, processed and deregistered. They can have one or more registrations, one or more related processes (for each registration) and then deregistration, the processes are always tied to a registration and deregistration period.
for a given time-period I want to find the first registration and use that first registration to find subsequent registration records within 20 days - I don't want to return processes related to the next registration record, just the next registration record.
I already have the query built that returns all the raw data for those registrations, processes and deregistrations but need to set up something that finds subsequent registrations. So here is a sample of raw data:
firstly need to use all first registrations - that would be row where reg-date = process first date and also reg time and process first time are equal - and use those for finding the next reg_date of that personID. PersonID can have more than one registration in a period so need to do something like partition, which although it worked on it's own, seemed to become a tangled mess when I started using the subset in a inline view or sub-query. Not sure how to return earliest reg date in period for certain PersonID for multiple IDs.
I have made the dates the same in last 4 rows, this isn't intentional and doesn't mean anything it's because I copied and pasted the first 4 rows.
How to tie this together using first reg of each personID and then comparing with other records to find subsequent first registrations. I'm not too fussed about finding them within a certain time period from the first registration, more that I want to just get some sort of query set up then I can put in specifics.
I need to bring over a large number of tables' records (200+ tables) with the Import/Export Wizard. The tables are being imported from MS Access. A separate script run previously will create the tables, so the DTS wizard is only to bring over the data from the Access tables into the empty SQL ones.
First, I get the warning that indicates "a large number of tables are selected for copying, and the wizard may not be able to copy all the tables in a session. Select no to go back and unselect some tables, or select Yes to attempt to copy all the currently selected tables at one time".
Well, I proceed with the DTS and it tries to validate and takes a fair bit, but then it errors indicating:
"Error 0xc0202009: {2F0FABA0-5F4B-4310-97C0-76EA19893547}: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft JET Database Engine" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Unspecified error". (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)"
Can anyone shed any light on why I receive an "unspecified error" when tring to DTS a larger number of tables. It does not error, if I import 40 or so tables.
I have a UDF --------------------- if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[UDF_AlphaNumeric]') and xtype in (N'FN', N'IF', N'TF')) drop function [dbo].[UDF_AlphaNumeric] GO

After creating the function I open a new query window, put in the below two calls to the function, and run them
I have a report in which the user can drill down on data. However when the user changes a parameter and reruns the report, all nodes are collapsed again. Is it possible to let the report keep the expansion state of nodes after pressing the 'view report' button again?
EmployeeAccess (MasterID, LoginID, AccessID, Storage1, Storage2, Storage3) that needs to be updated using the data in the following spreadsheet NewEmployeeAccessData (ID, MasterID, AccessID1, LoginID1)
There is a 1:1 relationship between the two tables..I'm trying to code a pair of update statements on the EmployeeAccess table (1 for LoginID, 1 for AccessID) with the following logic:
If LoginID is NULL, then Update LoginID with new LoginID1 value, If LoginID is not null, and Storage1 is NULL then Update Storage1 with New LoginID1 values If LoginID is not null, and Storage1 is not NULL and Storage2 is NULL then Update Storage2 with New LoginID1 values etc etc...
The same applies when trying to populate the AccessID column
If AccessID is NULL, then Update AccessID with new AccessID1 value, If AccessID is not null, and Storage1 is NULL then Update Storage1 with New AccessID1 values If AccessID is not null, and Storage1 is not NULL and Storage2 is NULL then Update Storage2 with New AccessID1 values etc etc.
I have no control over the schema of this table so I'm trying to work the logic on how to update the columns in my table only if the corresponding column data is NULL, else update the next non NULL Storage column.
I have a few Log Shipped DBs that are working great.
Currently they are set to fire off every 15 minutes 24/7.
My question is this ... I need to get FULL backups of the source DBs in order to restore them on certain Dev boxes.
If I were to execute the full backup on one of these Log Shipped DBs ... how would it affect the log shipping process?
Is there a special method to accomplish this?
As a side note, what would be some concerns/issues if in being able to create the FULL backups and not interupt log shipping, I were to create the backup using a 3rd party tool like Quest LiteSpeed?
I sure wish we were on Enterprise, then I could create a mirror and then snapshot off it to create my backups BUT ... that is not the case as we stand today.
I have a pretty large DB and a fairly complex query. If I drop buffers and clear cache the query runs in 20 seconds returning 25K rows. Subsequent runs are 2 seconds. Is this the result of the results being cached, execution being cached, other? Are there good ways to close the gap between the initial and later runs? Does the cache stay present until the service restarts or does SQL recycle the memory and if so, based on what criteria?
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, ...
