Report Designer : No Fields Being Refreshed After Parameter Added...

Mar 27, 2008

I'm relatively new to Report Designer in VS 2005 and have been trying to get a parameterised report working.

I have an MDX query that works with the datasource I set up, but as soon as I try to add a parameter, the fields disappear from the dataset.

Here's the query:




Code Snippet
SELECT

NON EMPTY { [Measures].[Var Rc] }



ON COLUMNS,
NON EMPTY { ([Time].[Year - Quarter - Month - Date].[Date].ALLMEMBERS *



[Company Master].[Region].[Region].ALLMEMBERS ) } DIMENSION PROPERTIES MEMBER_CAPTION, MEMBER_UNIQUE_NAME
ON ROWS
FROM

( SELECT ( Filter( [Company Master].[Region].[All].Children,



Instr( [Company Master].[Region].Currentmember.Properties( 'Member_Caption' ), @RegionParam ) > 0) )
ON COLUMNS FROM [Supplier Spend])
CELL PROPERTIES VALUE, BACK_COLOR, FORE_COLOR, FORMATTED_VALUE, FORMAT_STRING, FONT_NAME, FONT_SIZE, FONT_FLAGS



This is all a generated query apart from the filter. If I change the @RegionParam back to its old constant value (which was 'Europe') then the fields appear again. I've set up the Query Parameters to cope with @RegionParam and also put a Report Parameter in the Layout page that uses it.

I'm lost as to why the fields don't appear with the parameter in there...

How To Add Fields To Report Designer From A Web Service Or Something Equivalent?

Sep 22, 2007

Hello,

I am trying to add some fields to my report (Using SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services, Visual Studio 2005).

As of now I can only use fields from one of my tables, or use functions within SQL DBMS. However, sometimes I wish to do more complicated things which can not be done (or at least I don't know how to do) withing SQL DBMS.

I wish to write a C# function (Web service) which takes a bunch of parameters and spits out some text. Is it possible to add a field to the report which calls this Web service, sends a bunch of parameters and displays the result of the function.

If not, Is there any way at all to manipulate some data using C# and display the result in the report.


Thanks in advance,
Any help is much appreciated

Multi Value In Report Parameter Using MSVS Report Designer.

Aug 14, 2006

Hi All,

I have a question, How to user the Multi value in Visual Studio Report Designer.

My dataset contains the following

Select empno,empname,basicpay,deptcd from employee where deptcd in (substring(@gdept,1,4))

Here variable gdept is the report parameter. I am passing the value.
it works fine with single value.

( the source of gdept is a another dataset to list the deparment code+name,

Example

DEP1 - COMPUTER

DEP2 - ADMIN

DEP3 - FINANCE

)

when I preview, i have a combo box to select the department.

If I choose one deparment, it works fine.

If I choose more than one department or select all I have error message

"substring function requires 3 aruguments."

what is wrong is the query

Please advise.

 

Cheers,

Saleem

Reporting Services :: Added Parameter In Report Builder Now Missing Query Results

Oct 30, 2015

So, this is my Query for dataset "SalesOrder":

SELECT
SO_Header.Customer
,SO_Header.Status
,SO_Header.Customer_PO
,Customer.Name
,SO_Header.Order_Taken_By

[Code] ...

I would like to have a parameter on my report to Select by Order_Taken_By. My attempt at that is here:

Dataset called OrderTaken:

select distinct SO_Header.Order_Taken_By
from SO_Header
Under the report Parameter Properties named @Order, under Available Values
Selected "Get Values from a query"

I have DataSet: OrderTaken

Value Field: Order_Taken_By
Label Field: Order_Taken_By

The values of the field Order_Taken_By is all text characters, no integer values.

Running the inital Query by itself yields results. When I add the parameter, I can make a selection, but now I get no results, even though there should be values for the choice I've chosen.

Report Designer: Need To List Fields From Multiple Result Rows As Comma Seperated List (like A JOIN On Parameters)

Apr 9, 2008



I know I can do a JOIN(parameter, "some seperator") and it will build me a list/string of all the values in the multiselect parameter.

However, I want to do the same thing with all the occurances of a field in my result set (each row being an occurance).

For example say I have a form that is being printed which will pull in all the medications a patient is currently listed as having perscriptions for. I want to return all those values (say 8) and display them on a single line (or wrap onto additional lines as needed).

Something like:
List of current perscriptions: Allegra, Allegra-D, Clariton, Nasalcort, Sudafed, Zantac


How can I accomplish this?

I was playing with the list box, but that only lets me repeat on a new line, I couldn't find any way to get it to repeate side by side (repeat left to right instead of top to bottom). I played with the orientation options, but that really just lets me adjust how multiple columns are displayed as best I can tell.

Could a custom function of some sort be written to take all the values and spit them out one by one into a comma seperated string?

Is There A Way To Select What Fields To Display On A Report From A Multi-value Parameter?

Feb 19, 2008

I am trying to figure out a way to toggle the visibility of attribute data based on a parameter. Specifically, I have a report that has many columns that an end-user may not want to see, depending on what they are using the report for. I know you can toggle visibilities on individual columns easily enough, however I want the user to be able to select which fields (at the attribute level) they want visible on the report up in the parameters, via a multi-value prompt.

Is this possible with reporting services 2005?

Thanks.

Change/Add Report Fields To Display Based On The Parameter Selected

Dec 18, 2007



I have a report parameter named "Schools" which display a list of schools. For example, Alo elementary school, Balo middle school and Calo high school.

When "Alo elementary" is selected the report only display students from that school along with other assessments data fields. same goes for other schools too. But I want to display different data fields for "Calo high school" when it is selected. It is not currently possilbe becasue I am using the same template for all types of schools. There some fields only should be displayed for "Calo high school" but not for any other type of schools.

I can accomplish this by creating two separate report, one for "Calo high school" and the other for other schools. But I want to accomplish this just by creating one report. So when "Alo elementary school" is selected it displays report with certain fields and when "Calo high school" is selected then it displays same fields as "Alo elementary school" but as well as some other fields too in the report. Is this possible? Need help.

Modifying A Report Created In Report Builder In The Report Designer.

Jun 30, 2006

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.



Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

SQL Parameter And Item Has Already Been Added. Key In Dictionary: Error

Jun 1, 2004

Hi there,

I have a search page that redirects to another page transfering the search terms in a querystring. In the page to display the search results I use SQL parameters to show the results. Everything runs fine until I do a page refresh or use paging to bring up another set of results.

Everytime I try to refresh/page etc. I get the following error:

Item has already been added. Key in dictionary: "@CityTown" Key being added: "@CityTown"
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Any sugestions that anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated. This error obviously renders the search features useless.

Thanks in anticipation,

Subreports: Parameter Value Dropdown Shows Sum And Count Fields But Not The Actual Data Fields.

Jan 28, 2008


I have just started using SQL Server reporting services and am stuck with creating subreports.

I have a added a sub report to the main report. When I right click on the sub report, go to properties -> Parameters, and click on the dropdown for Parameter Value, I see all Sum and Count fields but not the data fields.

For example, In the dropdownlist for the Parameter value, I see Sum(Fields!TASK_ID.Value, "AppTest"), Count(Fields!TASK_NAME.Value, "CammpTest") but not Fields!TASK_NAME.Value, Fields!TASK_ID.Value which are the fields retrieved from the dataset assigned to the subreport.

When I manually change the parameter value to Fields!TASK_ID.Value, and try to preview the report, I get Error: Subreport could not be shown. I have no idea what the underlying issue is but am guessing that it's because the field - Fields!TASK_ID.Value is not in the dropdown but am trying to link the main report and sub report with this field.

Am I missing something here? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Sirisha

Custom Assembly Behaves Differently In The Report Designer And Report Manager

Mar 18, 2008

Hello everyone,

I created a custom assembly using C# to transform some binary data into text, and in this assembly I used one win32 dll developed by our customer to help me to do the tranformation.
The code I used to call the win32 dll is like below:
[DllImport("tdasuie.dll", EntryPoint = "AlrtLogConditionToText",
ExactSpelling = false, CharSet = CharSet.Auto, SetLastError = true)]
private static extern UInt32 AlrtLogConditionToText(Byte[] pbCondition, StringBuilder pszText, UInt32 dwSize);

I defined a C# method to call the above win32 method and return a string. Then in the report, I called this C# method to get the correct string.

In the report designer, the C# method in the custom assembly can return the correct string in the preview window. But after I deployed the report into the report server, the textbox will only display "#error" in the report manager web page.

Can anybody help me on it? Thanks a lot.

'Dynamic Time(year,month,date)' Report Template (rdl) Using Report Designer VS2005

Jan 19, 2007

I have three types of specific reports that i have to create with the input parameters (range) either

1: By date (rdl 1)

2.By Month (rdl 2)

3.By Year (rdl 3)

Is it possible ( or how do I ) to create just one report template ( one rdl) with the three sets of parameters ( hiding/invisible which ever two sets base on user selection) and the output of the report will display the desired type( either by year, month or date).

I ask this because its possible to create a drill down report from year down to date etc in report designer (vs 2005). Not sure if I can create one instead of three rdls and with the 'logic' built within that template.

Thanks

Regards

Report Designer Report That Queries A Cube Model

In Report Designer I am able to create a Model data source and see my entities/fields.

But when I run the report I get a "Failed to execute Query" message.

Does anyone know if this has been resolved?

Report Designer &&> PRINT ONLY A SECTION OF THE REPORT

Oct 18, 2007

Hi,
I dont know if theres a way to print a section of some report, for example a summary report, where I have several charts and tables, and I want to print just the first 2 charts
Could this be done by mapping the document or separating it in some other way?

I tried using 'SubReports' control, but this way I need to have for example the first two charts in a different report (lets say 2charts.rdl), and then in the summary.rdl, add the control and set the link to 2charts.rdl,.... but I think this is pretty annoying considering the future modifications of the format in the 2charts.rdl...

Thanks for your help...

1 Inch Added To Bottom Margin Of Report

Dec 20, 2007

I'm having a relatively big issue with printing my check report. The report continues, time after time, and regardless of the margins I choose for the report, to be displaced an additional 1" up from the bottom of the page. The printing method is through our newly designed application which sends the emf rendering to the printer. We have gone through the liberty of modifying the actual print document in VB with margins set at 0,0,0,0 (L, R, T, B) and have paid close attention to the printer's maximum printing area. We have come to the conclusion that the problem is coming from reporting services. In addition to the extra margin space on the bottom of the page, there is also a slight yet noticeable shrinking of the page. Despite the fact that those are trade symptoms of another issue after the emf rendering we have modified every possible function of the printdocument and printer settings. So we continue to push the question, is this reporting services? We are fairly certain. I'm asssuming this is a bug in SSRS 2005, yet, I have yet to hear of any similiar case. This is our VS version info just incase:

UPDATE (12/20/2007 1:43:07 pm):
We have made a small break-through discovery. We found that that if we convert our report using a pdf rendering that the additional 1 inch added to the bottom margin is no longer there. So, pdf rendering would be an option if we became more desperate. However, this is too time consuming and we would much rather have the report directly sent to the print spooler instead of loading then spooling. Does anybody know what is going on with this apparent conflict between SSRS 2005 and our emf renderer?

Can't See Function For Code Added In Report Properties

Sep 12, 2007

I put a function in the code section of Report Properties. I went to add an expression and can't find the function. I type =code. and did not see the function I created in the list.

Here's my code below:




Code Snippet
Public Function ConvertToStartDate(ByVal StartDate As String) As DateTime
Select Case StartDate
Case "Today"
Return DateTime.Today
Case "Yesterday"
Return DateTime.Today.AddDays(-1)
Case "30DaysOut"
Return DateTime.Today.AddDays(+30)
Case "2DaysPrior"
Return DateTime.Today.AddDays(-2)
' Additional cases
Case Else
Throw New ArgumentException("Unknown argument, " & StartDate, "StartDate")
End Select
End Function



I should be able to put in expression =code.ConvertToStartDate.StartDate("Today"), but that does not work. I get a red squiggly line under StartDate.

DTS Not Getting Refreshed

Apr 18, 2008

Hi All,


I have created a DTS package to export daily load to ftp folder. It has couple of sql tasks, global variable to hold the sql result set and vb script to read results from global variables, create files to upload them to ftp folder. The DTS running to success and uploading files with latest data to ftp when I run it manually. But, when I schedule it, it€™s not picking the latest data from the database. It€™s uploading files with old data (the data it picked up was the data it picked when I scheduled it for the first time). I think the result set is being cached somewhere. But the €˜Turn on Cache€™ property is unchecked.

Is there any settings we have to do while scheduling the job?

Added Space Character On The Header/Footer Contents Of An Exported Report In Excel

May 21, 2008

A space was added as the first character of the contents in the Left, Center and Right section of the Report Header and Footer exported to Excel. Example :

In the RDL, Header values are:

Left = "Product Report" ; Center = "Confidential" ; Right = "Page n of n"

In the exported report to Excel, Header properties (-->File.-->Page Setup--> Header/Footer Tab) are:

Left = " Product Report" ; Center = " Confidential" ; Right = " Page n of n"

Is there a way to eliminate that space character?

Using A Like Clause In Report Designer

Apr 14, 2007

Well, I noticed several other threads on this topic, but the solutions accepted as answers did not resolve my issue.



I'm trying to pass a like clause via a parameter in a report. I'm running the report against an Oracle 10 db using the microsoft for oracle oledb driver. Here's my sql I'm using in the report designer:



select * from dbprod.database_names_vw
where db_name LIKE ('%' + :1 + '%').



When I run this, I get the dreaded: ORA-01722 error



I referred to this page: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa337223.aspx

which covers: Using Query Parameters with Specific Data Sources



I tried all the variations from that link...I tried the "@" sign. I tried the ?. I tried double quotes...I've tried everything...



I was under the impression I had to use unnamed parameters, as above....

Cannot Shut Down VS After Using Report Designer

Routinely when I use BIDS to work on a report design, I cannot close BIDS because I get a message box that says:


Microsoft Visual Studio cannot shut down because a modal dialog is active. Close the active dialog and try again.
Of course, there is no visible dialog open. I actually have to terminate the process from task manager.
I do not get this problem when using SSIS or SSAS. Only SSRS.
Any Ideas?

Report Designer - Not A WYSIWYG?

Oct 29, 2007

What you see on the designer is not what you get? How frustrasing can this be when you develop a report? Why did Microsoft made such a deviation from actually designing the windows UI (where you always get what you want and it is a true wysiwyg)

We are doing some data entry apps and would like to simulate a paper based report at the end of the data entry. I designed a portion of it and preview showed what I want. Published the report and found out that the layout is messed up in the IE. I went trough the pain of correcting the layout and made it work for IE. Now when I use the preview the layout is messed up. How can I desgin a layout that works on both worlds. (client side and server side??)

We would like to make the report avaliable in both the windows application(client side) as well as through the report manager (server side)
