Can someone verify that Report Builder is included in SQL Server 2005 Standard edition?
I have a book that says it's only included in Enterprise edition, but the following chart says it is included in Standard:
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/prodinfo/features/compare-features.mspx
I have created couple report through report builder which using AS cube as the data source. Every time when I try to access the New Subscription from the web UI. It complains about "Subscriptions cannot be created because the cedentals used to run the report are not stored, or if a linked report, the link is no longer valid.".
So I went into "Properties" -> "Data Source" and use the custom data source. I've selected "Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services" and put in the following Data Source=SQLTEST;Initial Catalog="Data Warehouse AS". I've select "Crednetials stored securely in the report server", using my Windows login and password.. and I've got the following error.
"
An error has occurred during report processing.
Query execution failed for data set 'dataSet'.
The SemanticQuery element at line 7, column 351 (namespace http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2004/10/semanticmodeling) cannot appear under Envelope/Body/Execute/Command. "
Please help!!!
Hi,
When i select datasource in Report Builder, i am able to see all the available DataSources.
Eg: I have selected one datasource from the list and which has 3 tables(table1, table2, table3) associated to that datasource.
when i drag and drop table1 fields to report, i am not able to see the other 2 tables(table2 & table3)
Is there any property or relationship do i need to maintain?
Thanks,
SR.
I have RS 2005 SP1. I have a report model developed and deployed.
I have a scenario and I am not sure if it is possible to create a report for this scenario using the report builder. Let's say I have a customers entity and address entity that is related to the customer's entity as a 1-many relationship. I have the effective date on the address that specifies the date from which the address is effective. A customer will have multiple records in address with the latest effective date as the latest address of the customer.
Suppose, I need to create a report using the report builder to get the list of latest address for customers, how can I do it? I know it can be done using the report designer using a query that uses the group by clause. But can it be done using report builder?
Thanks in advance.
Hello all,
I restore ReportServer and REportServerTempdb in SQL 2000
to the new server SQL 2005. All the reports are working , however
i don't see the "Report Builder" feature in SQL 2005 anymore.
Please help me what i need to do to turn on this feature. (I saw it before i restore the 2 above databases.
Thanks so much.
Hi, Running RS2005 (was running RS2000 on same system)
When trying to run Report Builder I am getting the following error;
Report Execution Error
The report might not be valid or the server could not process the data.
An attempt has been made to use a rendering extension that is not registered for this report server.
Anyone come across this error before?
Thanks in advance

There is no conditional color formatting for Report Builder.
Is there any way to have it - write plug-in for example.
I tried to "hack" rdl file the RB produces:
but it didn't work.
Also, I hear that Microsof is about to issue a fix for it (SSRS 2005). Is it true?
Thank you
I've created a linked server with a pretty basic Excel spreadsheet, and used this command to create a linked server to it:
sp_addlinkedserver ''XL_SPS_1', 'Excel', 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'c:MyExcel.xls', null, 'Excel 8.0'
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?
Thanks,

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 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?
Here is the error, I have highlighted lines which might give some clue:

Hey
I've got a few questions regarding prompts on the Report builder
Can I change caption of the prompt? I intend to let the users know what kind of prompt that is, if the date they're choosing is a upper limit or a lower limit
How can I create a Between date prompt? I tried using the From..To but it disabled my option to tranform the Filter into a prompt, and from some reason it didn't let me execute report which had After and Before prompts on the same date field (tried it as some sort of work around)
I tried adding fields from a 3rd level table using the report builder, I.E, I drilled down to the 3rd connected table and I was unable to add fields ... any thoughts?
Thanks!

Hi,
I'm having a hard time getting date filters to work properly in Report Builder 2005. One of my model entites contains a datetime field called Date Opened, which corresponds to a datetime field in my database table. This is how the data looks like: 6/27/2007 11:31:52 AM, 6/27/2007 11:33:33 AM, 7/3/2007 9:24:07 AM.
1. I created an ad-hoc report and added a filter on Date Opened field, setting condition to PROMPT where Date Opened EQUALS some value. Next to EQUALS I get a dropdown list with the following values: 6/27/2007 11:31:52 AM, 6/27/2007 11:33:33 AM, 7/3/2007 9:24:07 AM. It looks like this list was generated by pulling all Date Opened values (including a time stamp) from the database. The problem comes up when I run this report and Date Opened filter limits me to choosing exact date time, when I want to see all rows for the specific date (the entire day). Is there any way to make EQUALS list not include the time stamps and show only dates, or give me a calendar control instead so I can choose the date (no time) to filter on? I noticed that if database had no existing values for Date Opened, the Equals list lets me choose a date with a calendar. I need to accomplish the same even if there are some values in the database.
2. The same setup as above. This time I choose to see all rows where Date Opened is AFTER specific date and set it to PROMPT the user. If I actually choose a default value on Filter Date dialog, run the report having picked some new value in a filter, it behaves as expected giving me all rows AFTER the date I specified. If I leave default value unspecified, run the report having picked some new value in a filter, it returns all rows on the date I specified and AFTER. In other words, it behaves like ON or AFTER. Is this a bug?
3. Same as scenario #2 above just using On or BEFORE. If I leave the default value unspecified on Filter Date dialog, run the report having picked some new value in a filter, it returns all rows before the date I specified, behaving like BEFORE rather than On or BEFORE. Is this a bug?
Any help is greately appreciated. I know we'll be getting customer calls about these issues.

Hi All,
Hope someone can help here. Since installing Service Pack 2 onto our SQL 2005 instances our report models are not working correctly. When selecting fields within the models as filters, and getting them to prompt when the report is run, the ordering of the data within the filters does not match the selected ordering in the model definition. The ordering is random each time the report is run.
This issue does not happen when setting the filter up, the data appears in the correct order, but when running the report the filter data is incorrect.
I have spent the last 4 hours building a new system and testing this with each stage of service packing. The RTM version of SQL 2005 is ok, SP1 is also OK, but when SP2 is applied the ordering fails.
Any ideas?
Many thanks in advance.
Regards
Nick
I am able to start Report Builder from the Reports site.
Report Builder opens but then it asks to "Select site or server", I don't see any data sources or anything, I can only enter a site or server. I tried http://crossdatabase/Reports and http://crossdatabase/ReportServer and http://crossdatabase nothing works. What's more, when I cancel and then click on the open button I get an exception:

Hi,
I have my client in one domain and RS running server in another, both r connected through VPN. Now if I try to launch report builder on client machine by clicking link in browser (clickonce)...it tries to connect to server but fails and shows some error, saying 'Internal Server Error (500)', complete error is here :
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1034868&SiteID=1
I can access models on server from other machines in the same domain succesfully..but not from this client domain.
How can we make report builder connect to server acros VPN ?
Thanks,

I have a development server setup with Report Builder that our users have been testing out. They have a number of reports that they have created on this dev server.
We now have our live environment all setup and I'd like to move their Report Builder reports to the new server for them so they don't have to recreate them.
Is this possible? If so, how?
Thanks.
According to this article ( http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345245.aspx ), a report "/My Reports/AdventureReport1" can be opend using a URL like following:
http://<ServerName>/reportserver/ReportBuilder/ReportBuilder.application?/My+Reports/AdventureReport1
This works correctly in SQL SERVER SP1.
In SP2, Report Builder is still able to open the specified report. However, when you try to click €œSave As€? for the opened report in Report Builder, Report Builder will always give you a dialog without any folders, and you have no way to type in anything in the textbox/dropdown in the dialog.
Any suggestion is appreciated.
Thanks,
Roger
We implemented Custom authentication with reporting services, everything works fine. At our client's site from one of there computer we did the following :
1- open internet explorer and access http://myserver.com/reportserver/reportbuilder/reportbuilder.application
2- the Report Builder Click once application was successfully downloaded onto the clients computer.
3- client was prompted to enter username and password. Client was able to see the report model and create,save reports to the reportserver.
4- close the report builder and try to access report via http://myserver.com/reportserver/reportbuilder/reportbuilder.application, this time the report builder launches but there is no prompt for username and password, instead it's asking to select a reportserver.
5 - tried selecting http://myserver.com/reportserver, there is not popup to enter username and password and we get the error message "unable to connect to server at http://myserver.com/reportserver , enter a different URL and Try again.
.NET framework 2.0 is installed on the client's machine. Our client can access http://myserver.com/reportserver/ from internet explorer.
Our client machine is behind a proxy server . Could this be caused by the proxy server. Why is report builder not prompting for credentials when launched. It only prompts for credentials the first time (installation). Any idea or anyone encountered this issue. we need a fix, because our client cannot access the report builder...

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 ( Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
MID(Fields!protocol_id.Value,1,7)="THERAPY", Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
                     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", Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Sum(IIF(Fields!status.Value = "CO",

Is there any way to not display the expression in the Total columns unless the report is expanded?
HI, there,
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?
Thanks

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?
