Greetings -
Am having problems setting a normal SSN xxx-xx-xxx format for a report textbox using the Textbox Properties / Format tab. The data is stored as text, and am using the "Format Code .... " option. When I choose "Custom" option, and attempt any formatting string containing the "-", the SSN is displayed without the "-". Nothing I have tried works.
What is the correct context string for this format?
Tks.
I want to add up the values in a couple of text boxes in another textbox. How do I refer to the textboxes?
fields!textbox1.value doesn't work..what does?
Is there a way to send a report with 2 or more formats? Let's say a customer wants a report in both PDF and Excel format in the same email. Is this possible?
Thanks,
Stuart Fox

I have a report parameter textbox in my SSRS report which has the parameter properties as "allow null value" and "allow blank value" checked.
How I can ensure that when the value is entered in textbox, it should accept any character ie. The SQL code I should write so that all the characters inputted via the report parameter are accepted.
Hello,
I want to put a textbox on the report such that the end-user can type in that textbox and then the text entered in the textbox could be captured by the report and could be used for further processing. Any pointers to this??
Thanks,

"InteractiveHeight is only supported on RS 2005. Opening a report in BI Development Studio of SQL Server 2005 will automatically add this property. You can find the property on the Report element. In report designer (properties window) it is also on the report element / Layout / Interactive Size / Height."
Why don't I see the Report Properties screen that includes the Interactive Size elements? My Report Properties screen looks the same as it did in VS2003.
I need to modify the InteractiveHeight element. It has been added to the RDL source.

Hi All,
I cannot find any way to retrieve the "author" of the report via code in asp .net. The author is in the "report properties" window.
Could somebody please help me with this ?
Thanks
I am working in SSRS 2000, and I have a report using a table. In the footer of the table I want to do a calcuation. I have a textbox in the table called "SumAmtCurrent", which is a sum value for a field in my dataset. I have another field in my dataset, "TotalRevCurrent", and I would like to take this second field, subtract the value in the textbox "SumAmtCurrent", and have the result in the footer of the table. I tried to reference the textbox using ReportItems!SumAmtCurrent.Value - but that gives me the following error
"...The value expression for the textbox €˜textbox7€™ refers to the report item €˜SumAmtCurrent€™. Report item expressions can only refer to other report items within the same grouping scope or a containing grouping scope..."
Is there a way I can get this total into my report?
Thanks in advance!
Hi all..

Dim NofDays as string
Me.ReportViewer1.LocalReport.textbox6.text = NofDays
I ve tried a lot of options like using the report paramaters but I cannot get it to work.
Does aneyone have a clue?
Thankzzzzzz

I found this thread which allows me to write vertical from the bottom up but I want to flip the text 180 degrees and write it upside down:
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=559933&SiteID=1
I tried modifying it and playing around with the TranslateTranform function but I'm really confused on how it works. I can get the first letter in my text to be upside down but the rest is not showing up. It's like it's being cut off or something. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thank you in advanced.
We have multiline text box of datatype ntext, and users will use tabs to format the data for better readability.
How can we keep this formatting in SSRS 2000? Right now, it simply goes away and resembles nothing like the application.
Thanks!
Hello,
Is it possible to establish a set of default report and report body properties, perhaps in an ini file of some sort so that upon creating a new project and adding a new report item the developer does not have to go through the process of setting up all the interactive sizes, margins, paper sizes, etc each and every time? We have an established header that we incorporate on all reports and while in transition to the new Reporting Services it was my hope of finding something will create the first set of default conditions to help us automate the process just a bit.
Thank you.
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.
Thanks for your help,

Hi, all experts here,
Thanks a lot for your kind attention.
I have been trying to adjust the report regions fit into the whole report page. I could see the width and height property of the whole report page from the report property dialogue, but where can I find the width and height for the particular report region like the table? Then I could accordingly adjust the layout of both the report page and report region like table?
Hope my question is clear for your help.
With best regards,
Yours sincerely,
Hello all,
I have a report with some groups which can all be expanded/collapsed by clicking on a textbox with an action attached to it.
The example I used can be found here: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=600583&SiteId=1
But I want to hide the row containing this textbox (or the textbox itself) on the actual printed report.
Is there any report item that can tell me if the report is in preview phase, or can it be solved in any other way?
Kind regards,
Dirk Holland

Hi,
I need to add carriage returns into a text box of 3 lines.
The data is pulled from the BD so the "cariage return" symbol need to be in the database field.
I know that some reporting software give the option to add HTML code into textbox but I did'nt find out about ms reporting 2000.
Thanks,

I am modifying a report that sets this variable at the beginning of every dataset:
declare @current_minute int
set @current_minute = DATEPART(N, GETDATE()) % 3
My idea is to set this variable in the Report Properties instead. When I do set this variable it in a Text Box or a Dataset, I get errors such as:
The expression used for the calculated field '=Variables!report_var.Value' includes a variable reference. Variable values cannot be used in calculated field expressions.
The Variable(report_var) expression for the report ‘body’ contains an error: [BC30451] Name 'N' is not declared.
What other strategies can I use to set a variable globally, instead of at the beginning of each dataset?
If you look at the General Properties for a report in Report Manager, there are 4 properties listed at the top:
Modified Date:
2/26/2007 6:37 PM
Modified By:
DOMAINusername1
Creation Date:
2/14/2006 5:19 PM
Created By:
DOMAINusername2
What I'm looking for is if there's a way to retrieve these properties via an expression from a textbox within a report. For instance, there's already an expression that is:
=Globals!ReportName
I know it won't be that easy for the CreatedBy, CreationDate, ModifiedBy, and ModifiedDate properties, but I thought I'd ask if there was a workaround or hack.
We're wanting to put that info into the footer of all our reports. (Actually this is for Report Builder reports, but you can still use expressions in Report Builder reports, so it should apply as it would to normal reports.)
Hi All,
I am working on SQL server 2005 Reports.
I have one report, one dataset is assigned to it, and one table which displays it.
Now I come accros requirement that, the column value in the filter condition for the table is present in one textbox.
I can not use textbox i.e. reportItems in filter condition. Can someone suggest me how to use textbox value in filters?
I want to display parent/child records on report. I am not getting the proper solution.
The data is like this:
Sequence ItemCode IsParent
1 XYZ 0 'do not have child record
2 PQR 1 'have child records with sequence no 3
3 ASD 0
3 AFDGE 0
3 VDC 0
4 ASR 1 'have child records with sequence no 5
5 ASR 0
If IsParent = 1, that record has child records with sequence = parent sequenece + 1
I think u can understand the data I need to bind, and it is like:
XYZ
+ PQR
ASD
AFDGE
VDC
ASR
On + click we can do show/hide of child records.
I m not getting how to achive this in SQL server report. Can u give some hint?
Thanks in advance

I have an ODBC connection string that is working fine with the following properties:
Database="XXXXXXX",Network="YYYYYY"; strangely no server is specified in the string, but it is specified in the ODBC Connection file.
I am trying to do a new server registration in SSMS for this database.However, I don't understand where the network spec is placed.
Under Registered server name I've tried:
YYYYYYXXXXX
When I browse the server for the database instance list, I receive "network path was not found".
I even tried:"XXXXXXX",Network="YYYYYY" for the registered server name.Same error message.
What am I doing wrong ?
Hi!
I dont know if i will explain this correctly, but my problem is with reporting service.
I'm supposed to Sum value in one textbox and than that sum use it in sum in other textbox.
Something like this:
Sum(Fields!Abc.Value/(Fields!dfg.Value+Sum(Fields!abc.Value)),"matrix1_RowGroup1")*100
I get error msg 'The Value expression for the textbox 'textbox49' contains an aggregate function (or RunningValue or RowNumber functions) in the argument to another aggregate function (or RunningValue). Aggregate functions cannot be nested inside other aggregate functions.'
Something like this wont work either Sum(Fields!abc.Value/ReportItems("textbox56").Value)*100
Error The Value expression for the textbox 'textbox55' uses an aggregate function on a report item. Aggregate functions can be used only on report items contained in page headers and footers.
So, pls help if you know how to reference textbox in other in body of report.
Thx.

I have two beginner questions:
1. How should I set up report layout/printing format so it would fit to the page?
2. Is there a way to change the color of every other row in the table? Can I highlight the rows based on some kind of a condition?
Thank you.
