RS2k Issue: PDF Exporting Report With Hidden Columns, Stretches Visible Columns And Misplaces Columns On Spanned Page
Dec 13, 2007
Hello:
I am running into an issue with RS2k PDF export.
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 been trying for some time to create a columnar report where certain columns can be hidden as requested by the user. I have tried placing the complete column set in the report, and then hiding a subset of columns, but blank pages are produced when rendered to PDF since the report body does not appear to shrink as columns are hidden and justify themselves to the left. I have tried a table, list, and matrix to no avail...
Does anyone know of a workaround, a trick, or even a hack that may accomplish what I am after?
Thanks.

I found the following paragraph while searching on here:
************************************************************************
You could easily set up a parameter for each column and then display that column conditionally based on the parameter.
For instance, if you have a column that displays First Name, you could have a parameter called DisplayFirstName. Then in design view you'd select the whole FirstName column and in the Visibility-Hidden property set it to :
=iif( Parameters!DisplayFirstName.Value = false, true, false )
This could easily become a big, unwieldy report, though, if you have a great number of dynamic columns. Also, The width of the report is set at design time, and it includes the width of all your columns, not just the visible ones. This could cause you some pagination problems.
************************************************************************
That is exactly my problem. I have lots of dynamic columns which causes the width of the report to be wide. Thus even though at run time the report only shows columns within a page, the report itself consists of a lot of white spaces after the selected columns. Does anyone know a solution to this? If not, I guess creating the rdl with code manually is the only way? Please advise. Thanks in advance.

I got a Report with a lot of columns and if the user scrolls, I would like to keep the first 2 columns visible. Excel offers a function like this is there something like this in Reporting?

I have created the matrix report which has dynamic column, it grow columns(18) based on the 'MCU' field in PRD.MI table. I have added the 'MCU'(A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,...Q) on 'Columns' in matrix table, to create matrix report and I have added 'mcst' on 'Data' in matrix table and I have added the 'msp2' on 'Rows' in matrix table. I have created new column after row and I added USP2DS.Final output is as given below.I need the split the matrix column per page.
I have added the 'MCU' on "Column group and 'msp2' on Row group.
Query:
select mi.*, SUBSTR(SM.USP2DS,6,9)AS DESC fromÂ
(SELECT a.mcu , a.msp2, SUM(a.mcst) AS Cost  Â
FROM PRD.MI as A Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
WHERE a.myr=2015 and a.mpr=7 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
GROUP BY a.MCU, a.msp2 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
order by a.mcu, a.msp2 ) mi, Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
(SELECT Â DISTINCT U_SP2, USP2DS FROM UM.SM) SM
WHERE A.MSP2=SM.USP2 Â
ORDER BY MCU,msp2
I have tried the below post, but I am not able achieve my output. [URL] ....

Can we do this?
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€¦
Many
thanks,
Jose

Nice topic, Hidden columns!!
I read several threads about this topic.
This is what I understood:
when you hide a COLUMN based on an Expression when you render the report all the hidden columns takes space at the end of the report because the body doesn't rezise.
It seems that there is no workaround, this is how RS works (any correction is appreciated) and I can leave with it because I don't have so much hidden columns.
My problem is that the background color of the columns of the table is RED and when I export the report to PDF, at the end of the table with the visible columns I have some columns red..
If these extra columns would be white it could be acceptable, but these red columns are really annoyng!
Someone can advice me how to solve this issue?
Thank you

I have a business need to create a report by query data from a MS SQL 2008 database and display the result to the users on a web page. The report initially has 6 columns of data and 2 out of 6 have JSON data so the users request to have those 2 JSON columns parse into 15 additional columns (first JSON column has 8 key/value pairs and the second JSON column has 7 key/value pairs). Here what I have done so far:
I found a table value function (fnSplitJson2) from this link [URL]. Using this function I can parse a column of JSON data into a table. So when I use the function above against the first column (with JSON data) in my query (with CROSS APPLY) I got the right data back the but I got 8 additional rows of each of the row in my table. The reason for this side effect is because the function returned a table of 8 row (8 key/value pairs) for each json string data that it parsed.
1. First question: How do I modify my current query (see below) so that for each row in my table i got back one row with 19 columns.
SELECT A.ITEM1,A.ITEM2,A.ITEM3,A.ITEM4, B.*
FROM PRODUCT A
CROSS APPLY fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM5,NULL) B
If updated my query (see below)Â and call the function twice within the CROSS APPLY clause I got this error: "The multi-part identifier "A.ITEM6" could be be bound.
2. My second question: How to i get around this error?
SELECT A.ITEM1,A.ITEM2,A.ITEM3,A.ITEM4, B.*, C.*
FROM PRODUCT A
CROSS APPLY fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM5,NULL) B, Â fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM6,NULL) C
I am using Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 version. Windows 7 desktop.

I'd like to first figure out the count of how many rows are not the Current Edition have the following:
Second I'd like to be able to select the primary key of all the rows involved
Third I'd like to select all the primary keys of just the rows not in the current edition
Not really sure how to describe this without making a dataset
CREATE TABLE [Project].[TestTable1](
[TestTable1_pk] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[Source_ID] [int] NOT NULL,
[Edition_fk] [int] NOT NULL,
[Key1_fk] [int] NOT NULL,
[Key2_fk] [int] NOT NULL,
[Code] .....
Group by fails me because I only want the groups where the Edition_fk don't match...

Here is My requirement, I'm not sure if this is possible. Creating table called master like col1, col2 col3, col4 , col5 ...Where Col1, col2 are updatable - this can be done easily
Col3, col4 are columns in another table but these can be just a read only ?? Is this possible ? this is possible with View but not friendly with share point CRUD...Col 5 is a computed column of col 2 and col5 ? if above step can be done then sure this can be done I guess.

Hi, all experts here,
Thanks a lot for your kind attention.
As I am creating the non-clustered indexes for the tables, I dont quite understand how dose it really matter to put the columns in the index key columns or put them into the included columns of the index?
I am really confused about that and I am looking forward to hearing from you and thank you very much again for your advices and help.
With best regards,
Yours sincerely,

Here's another one of my bitchfest about stuff which annoy the *** out of me in SSIS (and no such problems in DTS):
Do you ever wonder how easy it was to set up text file to db transform in DTS - I had no problems at all. In SSIS - 1 spent half a day trying to figure out how to get proper column data types for text file - OF Course MS was brilliant enough to add "Suggest Types" feature to text file connection manager - BUT guess what - it sample ONLY 1000 rows - so I tried to change that number to 50000 and clicked ok - BUT ms changed it to 1000 without me noticing it - SO NO WONDER later on some of datatypes did not match. And boy what a fun it is to change the source columns after you have created a few transforms.
This s**hit just breaks... So a word about Derived Columns - pretty useful feature heh? ITs not f***ing useful if it DELETES SOME of the Code itself after there have been changes in dataflow. I cant say how pissed off im about that SSIS went ahead and deleted columns from flow & messed up derived columns just because the lineageIDs dont match.
Meta-data - it would be useful if you could change it and refresh it - im just sick and tired of it that it shows warnings and errors when there's nothing wrong - so after a change i need to doubleclick all my transforms so that those red & yellow boxes would disappear.
Oh and y I passionately dislike Derived columns - so you create new fields based on some data - you do some stuff - combine multiple columns to one, but you have no way saying remove the columns from the pipeline. Y you need it - well if you have 50K + rows with 30+ columns then its EXTRA useless memory overhead for your package.
Hopefully one day I will understand how SSIS works (not an ez task I say) - I might be able to spend more time on development and less time on my bitchfest - UNTIL then --> Another Day - Another Hassle with SSIS

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?
Thanks!

Basically, I'm given a daily schedule on two separate rows for shift 1 and shift 2 for the same employee, I'm trying to align both shifts in one row as shown below in 'My desired results' section.
Sample Data:
;WITH SampleData ([ColumnA], [ColumnB], [ColumnC], [ColumnD]) AS
(
SELECT 5060,'04/30/2015','05:30', '08:30'
UNION ALL SELECT 5060, '04/30/2015','13:30', '15:30'
UNION ALL SELECT 5060,'05/02/2015','05:30', '08:30'
UNION ALL SELECT 5060, '05/02/2015','13:30', '15:30'
[Code] ....
The results from the above are as follows:
columnAcolumnB SampleTitle1 SampleTitle2 SampleTitle3 SampleTitle4

506005/02/201505:30 NULL NULL NULL
506005/02/201513:30 15:30 NULL NULL
My desired results with desired headers are as follows:

I am working on a Statistical Reporting system where:
Data Repository: SQL Server 2005
Business Logic Tier: Views, User Defined Functions, Stored Procedures
Data Access Tier: Stored Procedures
Presentation Tier: Reporting ServicesThe end user will be able to slice & dice the data for the report by
different organizational hierarchies
different number of layers within a hierarchy
select a organization or select All of the organizations with the organizational hierarchy
combinations of selection criteria, where this selection criteria is independent of each other, and also differeBelow is an example of 2 Organizational Hierarchies:
Hierarchy 1
Country -> Work Group -> Project Team (Project Team within Work Group within Country)
Hierarchy 2
Client -> Contract -> Project (Project within Contract within Client)Based on 2 different Hierarchies from above - here are a couple of use cases:
Country = "USA", Work Group = "Network Infrastructure", Project Team = all teams
Country = "USA", Work Group = all work groups
Client = "Client A", Contract = "2007-2008 Maint", Project = "Accounts Payable Maintenance"
Client = "Client A", Contract = "2007-2008 Maint", Project = all
Client = "Client A", Contract = allI am totally stuck on:
How to implement the data interface (Stored Procs) to the Reports
Implement the business logic to handle the different hierarchies & different number of levelsI did get help earlier in this forum for how to handle a parameter having a specific value or NULL value (to select "all")
(WorkGroup = @argWorkGroup OR @argWorkGrop is NULL)
Any Ideas? Should I be doing this in SQL Statements or should I be looking to use Analysis Services.
Thanks for all your help!

Hi,
I am planning to use transacational replication (instead of merge replication) on my SQL server 2000. My application is already live and is being used by real users.
How can I ensure that replicated data on different server would have exact same values of identity columns and date columns (where every I set default date to getdate())?
It is very important for me to have a mirror image of data (without using clustering servers).
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Is there a way to control the way Reporting Services exports the report to Excel? The actual report being exported is filling all the columns and lines with blank into the sheet. The report has only 600 lines and 5 columns and the final Excel file is about 3 MB in size because is filling the 65,XXX lines allowed by Excel.

Basically I need to get the SUM of the sum of three columns and all three columns have nulls. To make it more complicated, the result set must return the top 20 in order desc as well.
I keep facing different issues whether I try and use Coalesce, IsNull, Sum, count, anything. My query never returns anything but 0 or NULL regardless of if I am trying to build a CTE or just use a query.
So I'm using Col A to get the TOP 20 in order (which is fine) but also trying to add together the sums of Col A + Col B + Col C for each of the twenty rows...

MS SQL 2008 R2
I have the following effectively random numbers in a table:
n1,n2,n3,n4,SCORE
1,2,5,9,i
5,20,22,25,i
6,10,12,20,i
I'd like to generate the calculated column SCORE based on various scenarios in the other columns. eg.
if n1<10 and n2<10 then i=i + 1
if n4-n3=1 then i=i + 1
if more than 2 consecutive numbers then i=i + 1
So, I need to build the score. I've tried the procedure below and it works as a pass or fail but is too limiting. I'd like something that increments the variable @test1.
declare @test1 int
set @test1=0
select top 10 n1,n2,n3,n4,n5,n6,
case when (
n1=2 and
n2>5
)
then @test1+1
else @test1
end as t2

I have a scenario that reminds me of a pivot table and I am wondering if there is a way to handle this in SQL.
I have four tables. Product Line, Item, Property, and Value.
A Product Line has many items and an item can have many property's and a property can have many values.
I want to select a product line and show all the items with the Property's as column headers and the Values as the data. The thing I am having trouble with is the property's for an item are variable from a few to a whole bunch.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Just to confirm, do identity columns and XML columns work OK with database mirroring ? That is, all data types are supported with mirroring, and identities aren't an issue ?
Transactional replication with identity columns was a right pain in the **** in SQL 2000. I'm assuming that mirroring doesn't have these issues, but want to be sure.

I have a web interface where i have listing of several data and check box for inserting data into SQL server 2005 database table,
so I am able to inset data to sql tables using stored procedure. Now the question is i want to update these inserted records(agency approval column inserted as 1) in same table and assign value 1 fot the checked data to column finace approval as 1.
Here is how ia have webclas library where i script for getting the insert parameterspublic void Process_Payment(ref DataTable TableWithPayments, string Payment)
{SqlCommand InsertCommand = new SqlCommand();
SqlConnection AccessDatabase = new SqlConnection(FinanceSourceWrite.ConnectionString);int PaymentID = 0;
AccessDatabase.Open();
InsertCommand.Connection = AccessDatabase;
//DataTable TemporaryTable = new DataTable();
//TemporaryTable = TableWithPayments;SqlTransaction TransactionProcess = null;
SqlParameter InsertParameters;foreach (DataRow DataCommentInfo in TableWithPayments.Rows)
{InsertCommand.CommandText = "InsertPaymentList"; //THIS IS my stored procedureInsertCommand.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
TransactionProcess = AccessDatabase.BeginTransaction();
// SET ALL THE VALUES FOR THE PARAMETERSInsertParameters = InsertCommand.Parameters.Add("@JC_ID", SqlDbType.Int);
InsertParameters.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input;InsertParameters.Value = DataCommentInfo["JC_ID"];
InsertParameters = InsertCommand.Parameters.Add("@Payment_Type", SqlDbType.Int);
InsertParameters.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input;InsertParameters.Value = DataCommentInfo["Payment_Type_ID"];
InsertParameters = InsertCommand.Parameters.Add("@Agency_approval", SqlDbType.Int);InsertParameters.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input;
InsertParameters.Value = DataCommentInfo["Agency_approval"];
Now my stored procedure
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[InsertPaymentList](
@JC_ID int ,
@Payment_Type int,
@Payment_Group int,
@AGENCY_ID int,
@Agency_approval int,
@Agency_approval_date datetime,

@Placement_ID int,
@Enrollment_ID int,
@Satisfaction_ID int,
@Enrollment_Bonus_ID int,
@Re_Placement_Bonus_ID int
)AS
INSERT INTO Payment_LIST_AIMS
(JC_ID, Payment_Type, Payment_Group, AGENCY_ID, Agency_approval,
Agency_approval_date, Program_ID, status,
Jobsite_code_ID, Provider, UserName, Placement_ACTV_ID, Placement_Sub_ID, Support_Retention_ID, WPR_ID, Placement_ID,Enrollment_ID,Satisfaction_ID,Enrollment_Bonus_ID,Re_Placement_Bonus_ID)
VALUES @JC_ID, @Payment_Type, @Payment_Group, @AGENCY_ID, @Agency_approval,@Agency_approval_date, @Program_ID, @Status,
@Jobsite_code_ID, @Provider, @UserName, @Activity_ID,
@Subproject_ID, @Payment_Support_Retention_List_ID, @WPR_ID, @Placement_ID,@Enrollment_ID,@Satisfaction_ID,@Enrollment_Bonus_ID,@Re_Placement_Bonus_ID)
SELECT CAST(scope_identity() as int)
Here like you see agency approval column in SQL server table gets value assigned as 1 when Agency user clicks the confirm payment button and so all the values as above....
Now another user Finance user process the same records from the web UI and clicks the process payment button at this stage ..i need to update Finance approval column as 1 agains that particular record existing th the SQL table, there are two three coulmc to be updated , Finance approval(this is where i need help) , Finance approval date , and user
