Report Builder - Finding Specific Data Inside Of A LookupSet
Feb 28, 2014
Report Builder 3.0 . I have two datasets and I am using LookupSet to return data (a list of dates) but what I am after is the LAST date in the set. I have tried to use Last but I keep getting an error.Â
I even tried doing a Last on the above statement with a Join thrown in, but that just gets me errors as well. I tried to Code in a function to go through the dataset and return the last piece of data, but again...error.Â
Function LastLookup(ByVal items As Object()) As Date
If items Is Nothing Then
Return Nothing
End If
Dim suma As Date = New Date()
For Each item As Object In items
suma = CDate(item)
Next
I have a report that should read values from 2 dataset by Currency:
Dataset1: Production Total Dataset2:Net Total
Ive tried to use Lookup(Fields!Currency_Type.Value, Fields!Currency_Type1.Value,Fields!Gross_Premium_Amount.Value, "DataSet2"), it returns only the first amount from dataset2
Ive tried Lookupset function also but it didnt SUM the retrieved values.
I have a column in SQL server which is of type ntext. Selecting the specific column to view it in report builder, an error message appears with the following description:
- Cannot run this report. The grouping expression 'nameofcolumn' returns the datatype binary. The Grouping Expression cannot return binary data.
Report Builder recognises this as if it was an image...
I have an encrypted SQL Server 2005 database. Data is encrypted and decrypted using the encryptbykey and decryptbykey statements. I would like to allow the end user to be able to build adhoc reports using the Report Builder. I can't figure out how to decrypt the fields as they are dragged onto the report layout. Does anyone have any insight on how to accomplish this, or is it even possible?
I have built a data model in visual studio that I am using with report builder in reporting services. The data model is using data from a view in SQL Server 2005. I am trying to apply a filter to the data model to restrict the data available in report builder. I know that I could change the code for the view and filter that data that way, but I would rather creates two models each one producing differnt sets of filtered data. I have tried adding a filter to the data model, but it does not seem to work. Do anyone have any suggestions?
I have created security roles that restrict access to a certain Dimension and a member therein.
The security works fine when the users finened in it runs a report: The data is accordingley ristricted.
The problem is when those same users run Report Builder and create a report, those members are no longer restricted and they have acces to absoluteley all data from the cubes.
Is there some way that I can force the Data Model to follow the cube's security roles?
Any help is much appreciated...

EDIT: I have found that it uses the wrong user when opening report builder. For some reason it uses my windows account instead of the one I used to log onto report manager. This is way the security isnt working
I am trying to develop a data model that will filter data based on the user logged in. SUSER_SNAME() I have a list of User Id's in a look up table, a where clause in a view that filters the data based on who is logged in. This works fine and the data even seems to be filtered when I explore the data in the Data Source View. How ever when I publish the data model to the reporting services site and use report builder the user logged in is no longer recognized. All I am really trying to do is set up report builder so that users can generate reports and only have access to thier data via a customer number. I just can't allow users to see other users data and I don't want to set up a different datasource view for each user. Does any one have any experience with this?
In Report Builder 1.0 you could drag a column to a filter and see the data before select the values for the filter.I can't find a way to do that in report builder 3.0. is it possible to see the data of a column in Report builder or SSRS?
I'm creating a generic procedure in the master db and I'm getting the database name as a input parameter. How do I set the database inside the procedure , according to this parameter? T-Sql does not accept "USE" inside procedures . I tried "sp_defaultdb" but when I select from a specific table in the procedure it still does not identify the table as belonging to that database, it still looks for the table in the master db.
I have a report designed in RB3 that uses a data source from a SQL database that is on the report server. I want to add data to the report from an access database an a network drive.
I can add the second data source and create a data set to add data to the report. The dataset query returns data from the Access database but when I run the report I get the following error.
An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
Cannot create a connection to data source 'Feasibility'. (rsError OpeningConnection)
Also when I test the connection to the Access data base I get error ERROR (IM002) (Microsoft)(ODBC Driver Manger) Data source name not found and no default driver specified.
I noticed that Report Builder is connecting to the report server. If I disconnect from the report server I can a can connect to the Access data base but not the SQL database.
How can I get the report to run against both data sources?
I'm trying to filter out timestamps that land exactly at .000 milliseconds. (e.g. 2007-12-05 16:30:50.000) Do I have to convert the timestamp to a string first and then use the LIKE statement? If so, can somebody show me how. I'm pretty green to SQL but know the basics. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
We are migrating to SQL Server 2005 from 2000 and we have a view created in many of our databases. That view must be changed after the migration because it uses system tables and does not return the correct information in SQL Server 2005.
To do that, I want to create an SSIS-package that loops through all the databases on a particular server. If that view exists in the database, I want to run a script that change the view.
What I try to do:
Set up a For Each Loop container with Foreach SMO Enumerator Set the connection to my server Set the Enumerate property to "SMOEnumObj[@Name='Databases']/SMOEnumType[@Name='Names']" On the Variable Mapping page, place Index 0 in Variable User::dbName In the For Each Loop, place a script task to msgbox the value of User::dbName
This all works good. The problem comes when I try to nest the For Each Loop
Inside the "For Each Database Loop", place a new For Each Loop container with Foreach SMO Enumerator I connect the Msgbox Script Task with the new For each loop Use the same connection Set the EnumURN property in the Expression Builder to "Database[@Name='" + @[User::dbName] +"']/SMOEnumObj[@Name='Views']/SMOEnumType[@Name='Names']" On the Variable Mapping page, place index 0 in Variable User::tabName In the For Each Loop, place a script task to msgbox the value of User::tabName
When I try to run the package now, it does not at all.
In my Progress tab I see that Validation has started and completed for each task, but I see now errors. Nothing has run.
Test 1: I change the DelayValidation for the Inner Loop to True
Now the package runs, but I never get to the script task in the inner loop.
Currently, I want to get images of an item in my report for illustration purpose.
Below is my query to get image for item 'GL-10000' in the database. However, I would like to pass a parameter value, '@sItem', from my report so that it would get all related pics of items. Â
SQL Query:
Select top 1 item_picture_mst.picture from item_picture_mst where item_picture_mst.item in (select item_all.item from item_all where item_all.item = 'GL-10000') ORDER BY item_picture_mst.picture DESC;
Based on a table like below I have created a report so that I can compare number of items in the main warehouse (LOCATION1) and the outlets (LOCATION2 and LOCATION3).
___________________________________ | ID | PRODUCT_INDEX | LOCATION Â | VALUE | ___________________________________ | 1 Â | INDEX1 Â Â Â Â Â Â | LOCATION1 | 1 Â Â Â Â | ___________________________________ | 2 Â | INDEX1 Â Â Â Â Â Â | LOCATION2 | 1 Â Â Â Â | ___________________________________ | 3 Â | INDEX1 Â Â Â Â Â Â | LOCATION3 | 0 Â Â Â Â | ___________________________________ | 4 Â | INDEX2 Â Â Â Â Â Â | LOCATION1 | 0 Â Â Â Â | ___________________________________ | 5 Â | INDEX2 Â Â Â Â Â Â | LOCATION2 | 0 Â Â Â Â | ___________________________________ | 6 Â | INDEX2 Â Â Â Â Â Â | LOCATION3 | 1 Â Â Â Â | ___________________________________ | 7 Â | INDEX3 Â Â Â Â Â Â | LOCATION1 | 1 Â Â Â Â | ___________________________________ | 8 Â | INDEX3 Â Â Â Â Â Â | LOCATION2 | 0 Â Â Â Â | ___________________________________ | 9 Â | INDEX3 Â Â Â Â Â Â | LOCATION3 | 1 Â Â Â Â | ___________________________________
The way I present data in my Report is as such. I want to show items that are available in the warehouse that should be moved to the outlets.
select  a.PRODUCT_INDEX , a.LOCATION1(VALUE) , b.LOCATION2(VALUE) , c.LOCATION3(VALUE)  fromÂ
[Code] .....
__________________________________________________________________ | PRODUCT_INDEX | LOCATION1 (VALUE) | LOCATION2 (VALUE) | LOCATION3 (VALUE)| __________________________________________________________________ | INDEX1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 0 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 0 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | __________________________________________________________________ | INDEX2 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 0 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | __________________________________________________________________ | INDEX3 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 0 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | __________________________________________________________________
I have added some parameters in my report to filter out products that are not available in warehouse (LOCATION1) and this works great.
select * from VIEW where 'LOCATION1(VALUE)' > 0 and ('LOCATION2(VALUE)' = 0 or 'LOCATION3(VALUE)' = 0)
__________________________________________________________________ | PRODUCT_INDEX | LOCATION1 (VALUE) | LOCATION2 (VALUE) | LOCATION3 (VALUE)| __________________________________________________________________ | INDEX1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 0 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | __________________________________________________________________ | INDEX3 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 0 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | __________________________________________________________________
Now the issue starts when I add a parameter to my report for user to choose which outlets (LOCATIONs) he wants in the equation. I know how to make a column disappear based on parameter value but how to take it out of equation? At the moment when user selects only LOCATION2 and not LOCATION3 then data is not filtered correctly:
__________________________________________________ | JOIN_ON_VALUES | LOCATION1 (VALUE) | LOCATION2 (VALUE) | __________________________________________________ | INDEX1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 1 Â Â Â Â Â | __________________________________________________ | INDEX3 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 0 Â Â Â Â Â | __________________________________________________
Ideally I would like a user to select random outlets (warehouse would be static on the report) and compare one or multiple and only show records that are 0 in the outlets.
I have a old report that was pointing to a different database, and i changed the connection string for that report and changed the field names (As per my new stored Procedure). In some places I keep getting this run time error, i have tried looking for all the hidden references to this field and i cannot find any parameter that the old database had. The error messages that i get are as follows:
[rsFieldReference] The Hidden expression for the table €˜tblContactInfo€™ refers to the field €˜PL_Admin_ShowInKit€™. Report item expressions can only refer to fields within the current data set scope or, if inside an aggregate, the specified data set scope.
[rsFieldReference] The Hidden expression for the table €˜tblContactInfo€™ refers to the field €˜PL_FA_ShowInKit€™. Report item expressions can only refer to fields within the current data set scope or, if inside an aggregate, the specified data set scope.
[rsFieldReference] The Hidden expression for the table €˜tblWithdrawals€™ refers to the field €˜PW_Comment€™. Report item expressions can only refer to fields within the current data set scope or, if inside an aggregate, the specified data set scope.
Can Someone please help me out as to how should i get rid of these error messages, they are kinda driving me nuts.
I'm trying to find a specific string (a name) and replace it with another inside of a VARCHAR(7000) field. Unfortunately, there are names like Ted and Ken that I'm trying to replace. I would like to leave words like Broken, admitted, etc... intact.
UPDATEtbl SETBody = LEFT(REPLACE(tbl.Body, pm.OldFirstName, p.FirstName), 7000) FROM Table tbl JOIN Person p ON p.PersonID = tbl.PersonID JOIN PersonMap pm ON pm.PersonID = p.PersonID AND LEN(pm.OldFirstName) > 2 WHEREtbl.Body LIKE '%[^a-z]'+pm.OldFirstName+'[., ]%
'The problem I'm running into is that the '[, ]%' in the LIKE excludes any record that ends with the FirstName because it is requiring either a space, comma or period after the name. Is there some way to add an empty string to the list of acceptable characters as that would cover any scenario in the data? I would prefer not to add all characters except space, comma and period, but I guess I could do that.
I just created a report builder. I have a main report and i wanted to create a sub report. why i cant or i cant view the path or the folder of my .rdl file to be use as my sub report.
After I use the report builder to create a generic report, how do I actually get that report into the report designer so that I can modify it more effectivly?
The issue that I have now is that the file on the report server is not a .rdl file and if I simply save it as one and then bring it into VS to modify it the code file is a html structure rater than a XML file type.
We have a "main" SQL 2014 server who imports XML files using SSIS in a datacenter. In remote sites (which are warehouses), there is an instance of SQL 2014 Express. A merge replication is setup, as every operations done on each site must be "forwared" to the main database, as some XML files are generated as output for an ERP system.
Now, the merge replication replicate all the data to the server on each sites. But a specific site don't need the data of every other sites, only the data relevant to itself (which is the warehouse code). Is there a way to replicate only the data relevant to each individual sites to the subscribers? Or is there a better way than replication to accomplish this?
I am trying to create a report with a sub report in Sql Server 2012 using Report Builder Version 3. Â I can run the subreport without any problems. Â I read where using a shared connection can cause this error so both the main report and the subreport use a connection that is embedded in my report. Â
For testing, I created the subreport without a parameter and added it to the main report. Â When I ran it that way, the report worked and sub report displayed the data. Â So I know it can read from the database.It seems to only give me this error when I am trying to tie the two reports together using a parameter. Â
I want to use this as the data from which to build a report model. As linked servers don't show up in the Data Source View wizard, I created a view in SQL Server:
create view MyExcel as select * from XL_SPS_1...Sheet1$
Okay, great, now the view shows up in the DSV wizard and I can create the data source view. However, when I create a new report model based on this data source view, the Report Model Wizard tells me at "Create entities for all tables" that I've got an error when it processes dbo_MyExcel that "Table does not have a primary key."
I assume this is where the identifying attributes for the entities in the report model are taken from, so I really can't go further. Does anyone have an idea as to how to add a primary key to a linked server (Excel) in SQL 2005? Can this be done? Other than importing spreadsheet data to a SQL table, how can I get around this?
We have a remote business client who has a proxy server setup and this translates into receiving a 407 proxy authentication blocking error when attempting to download the report builder application for deployment off the report server which is housed locally with us. The proxy server does not allow them to download application type files off another site. At the moment, they would not like to disable the proxy for these users to allow them to deploy the application on their client or add the report server as a trusted site. Is there a method by which Report Builder can be locally installed on the client pc instead of online only with it knowing the correct report server to access and then still launch correctly when the report builder button is pressed through report manager?
I am not a web application guru by any means and we have tried to replicate the oneclick deployment and what occurs in the local settings/apps/2.0 subdirectories, but the application still attempts to download/install again. If we attempt to just launch the local executable on the client, report builder assumes the client pc (localhost) is the report server to access. Is there a method which will succeed?
I have installed SQL Server Reporting Service on window xp. everything working fine except one thing.
I have installed sql server with my a/c. my a/c have admin rights. when i giving http://dineshpatel/reports it is displaying page but Report Builder and other option are not displaying. I hope i don't have admin rights.
I have checked with local administrator login also but same problem.
what additional setting are require for admin rights?
I have a report builder drill down report. I have row groups with totals.   It looks like the attached.  The problem is when the report is not expanded the Grand Totals column is not accurate... it is displaying the totals of one of the rows when expanded.The expression in the Total Show text box is
= Switch (                                    MID(Fields!protocol_id.Value,1,7)="THERAPY",                                Sum(IIF(Fields!status.Value = "CO", CDbl(Fields!TX_CO.Value),      Nothing)),  MID(Fields!protocol_id.Value,1,7) = "GENERAL" and                          MID(Fields!program_id.Value,1,6) = "INTAKE",                             Sum(IIF(Fields!status.Value = "CO",
[code]...
Is there any way to not display the expression in the Total columns unless the report is expanded?
I added a new windows user "ReportUser" which is a local user (not in administrator group). When I connect to the report manage's web page, I use reportuser to log in (when the anonymous access is disabled it will ask a log in). Report builder icon is not showing up on the report manager home page.
If I log in as a user in administrator group, the reportr builder icon shows up so I can download it and build report.
I have assigned reportuser "Content manager" and "repoter builder" access to the home folder. Is there anything else I have to do to make the report build icon show up on the home page?
I have client machine in one domain, say A domain , on which I have installed .net 2.0 without any problem. I have report server running in other domain (B domain) where I have deployed few models which will be used from domain A to create ad hoc reports by launching Report Builder. I can access other reports in domain B from A
But when I click on Report Builder ..it tries to connect to server in domain B but fails to connect and shows following log in a text pop up
I know, problem is because of cross domain communication but question is then how to fix it ? what changes I need to do for that in firewall, domain etc etc settings?

I was wondering if there was any way to add a value field to a report, with the time it took for the report to Process.
It would probably be a text field with an Expression, but don't know how that would go.
I know that in Expression there is a value for ExecutionTime (when report began to run), but nothing about when it ends.Can this be done? and if yes, how?
Is there a way to see Report-Level variables in Report Builder 3.0? Also, just as a feedback, it would be really nice if there were a way to see and easily access all of the variables used in a report from one location instead of going to the dataset, the report, and then to the individual groups (if needed) to see the variables. Also, it would be very useful if Group-level variables can show up in the Expression Builder as well.
I've gotten to the point of publishing the new reports on the SSRS server and have run into the following problem.
I use a field in the primary report with the "Go to report" action to open up another report (also published) for more details. It works properly from within ReportBuilder (2.0) using the report server and I can go to and from the secondary report as I expect. Its passing the correct parameters to the second report and its runs.
But when I use the reports from the SSRS web, the Go To link no longer works. Mouse hover shows its still a link but clicking goes no where. I can run both reports independently from SSRS and they still work. Â
I've tried this in IE and Chrome with no luck in either. I also poked around at Compatability view and popup blocker but nothing made any difference.
I am setting up the SQL2005 reporting service to let users build their own reports on the web. I'll provide them with pre-built report models. We have concern with SQL database performance by allowing users to execute huge reports. The problem that I have is: If I give the users permissions to build report they'll have access to the report's Properties | Execution page, which allows them to disable the report execution timeout. Is there a way for me to allow them build reports while restrict them to access the report execution timeout settings?
