When I preview my Reporting Services Report in VS2005 the report uses 2 separate pages. Even when there is very little data on Page 1 it will display something on Page 2.
I have had a lood through the forum but although folks seem to be having a lot of issues with layout I can't see a problem quite like this one.
We have a number of customer reports which need to be exported to PDF and to look quite smart. They are single page reports with things like address and customer info at the top, followed by the main report, all of which can have a variable number of rows. Then at the bottom is some supplementary information which can also vary quite substantially in size. All I want is for the main report to hug the top of the page and the supplementary one to hug the bottom of the page - and I only really care what it looks like in PDF format. The problem is that I can't seem to achieve this. As the area at the top expands the bottom section moves up and down the page. I'd be quite happy to set aside a fixed area at the bottom of the page for the supplementary report, but I can't even work out how to acheive that! You would think that the obvious answer would be to put it in to a footer, but for some reason you can't put data elements in to headers or footers (why?). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm trying to create a report like following format. Any idea how can I design it? 'ID', 'Title', 'Answer' and 'Comment' have to span multiple rows which will list 'Response'.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ID Title Answer Response Comment ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1 | Q1 | B | A | aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa | | | B | aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa | | | C | aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa | | | D | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 | Q2 | C | A | bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb | | | B | bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb | | | C | bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb | | | D | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The user would enter the start date, in this case the 1st Jan 07 and then this would populate a table. This seems like it should be so simple but I can't work it out, can anyone help please?
I am trying to change the Page size of the layout dynamically. Does anyone know if this is possible? If so can you point me in the right direction to find resources for this.
report is required to show the salary levels of employees within the company sorted by department. first page shows overall company details rest of report is to show a chart and a matrix for each department - initally did this as a top level report and a subreport - the sub-report was put inside a table - the table grouped on department - so each time the department changed, a different sub-report was generated
this worked fine - chart and matrix generated ok - but it was slow as the sub-report was calling the stored proc each time to get the same data
decided to re-do by putting the chart and the matrix into the top-level report table (instead of the sub-report) this is alot faster (takes < 10% of time) but the matrix is causing the pagination to go wrong the table has three equal size columns in it and is the width of the report (apart from margins)
if i make the matrix the width of one column (same width as it was in the subreport), it overflows when the matrix has > 5 columns
this was not happening in the sub-report
think the problem is that the matrix is expanding, it only expands the width of the column it is in - and so the table still has to draw the other two columns - which it does overflowing onto a new page
I'm working on an invoice report, that requires borders around the whole report. I've got header, footer and body in the report. In the body section, i've got a table which shows line items for an invoice. So the table grows as per the no. of lines in the invoice. As said before I've got to have border around the report. I tried put info in ractangles with borders for header/footer and table with borders in body section. The borders appears fine for headers and footer ractangles but as the table grows/shrinks, border from body section is not continuous to the footer section. i.e. For an invoice with 2 line items the borders for table will appear for two lines only but i want it to be scratched up to the footer area regardless of no. of line items in the invoice.
I've also tried to use borders for header, footer and body sections itself rather than using ractangles. But then when i export the report to pdf and print from pdf, it looks fine but when i tried to print from report manger its missing right hand side border for page header, footer and body. I've made sure there is enough margin around report. Report body/header/footer are 19 cm wide that's mean the report still have 2 cm of space for margins. The left/right margin are 0.5 cm.
I've been trying to do various things for last 2 weeks but not getting anywhere. Can i anyone please help into this?
I'm trying to deal with a way to change the report parameter's default layout.
currently it seems to default to two columns, that's fine until you have a large screen and the "View Report" button is all the way to the right and you have a big chunk of whitespace.
For Example: Parameter 1 Parameter 2 <View Report> Parameter 3
I'd like it to show up instead as: Parameter 1 Parameter 2 Parameter 3 <View Report>
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?
I am using SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services and Reporting Services with Visual studio 2005 Professional Edition. I have developed couple of reports in visual studio 2005 environment using report server project of business intelligence projects. In one of my report I am using MDX query which is created using Query Builder of Report wizard. Once I finished with report wizard a report created and shown with data, layout and preview tabs. I can preview the report. But, when I click on data tab there is no MDX query exists. After that I can't even preview the report.
I have a report that looks and works fine in the native 'screen layout' but when I select the Print Layout option, a blank page is inserted after each page. These blank pages contain the header and footer, but not the body section of the report. Has anyone else seen this sort of thing? Is there something in my report layout causing this, or is it a bug in the Print Layout rendering?
Since SP2 was installed on our SSRS server a couple of days ago, reports viewed in the client Report Viewer control (with or without VS SP1) show a black background when in Print Layout Mode. All other rendering options work fine. Anyone else seen this? Any clues how to fix?
I designed a report in reporting services 2005. When i look at the view layout for the report everything is aligned correctly but if i go to print preview one matrix is shifted up or down. I have tried to put the matrix inside a rectangle but the issue is still present. Does anyone know why this is happening or any suggestions on what to do to fix it.
I have a form that I created that groups make and model and it totals all the fields to make 1 entry on the Layout. I then am trying to get the layout to SUM those values but it does not. For example we have 2 Make, Model, Totals CV, P2100, 50,000 CV, P2100, 52,000 CV, P2100, 48,000 CM, R3200, 50,000 CM, R3200, 53,000 CM, R3400, 20,000 CM, R3400, 22,000
As you can see above we have 2 Makes CV and CM, with Diff models. The code i used totals the make, model, and totals for the parts. Results look like this. Make, Model, Total CV, P2100, 150,000 CM, R3200, 103,000 CM, R3400, 42,0000
I tried to use the SUM function and it takes all older totals and places that at the bottom creating a Larger value than what should be posted.
the CM total should be 145,000 and the CV would be 150,000.
Here is the code I am using for this and this parts right I am just having issues with the layout not posting the correct numbers.
SELECT equip.eqpphybr, equip.kequipnum, equip.kmfg, equip.kmodel, equip.kserialnum, equipdet.glsrc, equipdet.glamt, equipdet.gldate, equipdet.action, CASE WHEN action = 'b' THEN glamt ELSE 0000000.00 END AS RentalBilling, CASE WHEN action = '6' THEN glamt ELSE 0000000.00 END AS Depreciation, CASE WHEN action = 'a' THEN glamt ELSE 0000000.00 END AS Repairs, equip.eqprecdt, equipdaily.cnvf001, equipdaily.cnvf00109, equip.eqpstatus
FROM equipdet INNER JOIN equip ON equipdet.kequipnum = equip.kequipnum INNER JOIN equipdaily ON equip.kequipnum = equipdaily.kequipnum
WHERE (equipdet.gldate BETWEEN @fromdate AND @thrudate) AND (equip.eqpstatus <> 'SO') ORDER BY equip.kmfg, equip.kmodel
For the layout its looks like this with 2 groupings.
Below is the headers in same order as the =Fields
Br,EQ#, MFG, Model, S/N, ACQ Date, ACQ Cost, Book Value, Rental Billing, Depreciation, Repairs --------------------------------------------------------------------- (This is row 1 inserted as a group with expression =Fields!kmfg.Value)
(This row is set as a group by =Fields!Kmodel.Value) ACQ Cost, Book Value, Rental Billing, Depreciation, Repairs --------------------------------------------------------------------- Totals: =SUM(Fields!cnvf001.Value), =SUM(Fields!cnvf00109.Value), =SUM(Fields!RentalBilling.Value),=SUM(Fields!Depreciation.Value) / -1, =SUM(Fields!Repairs.Value) ---------------------------------------------------------------------
(I added a row from the =Fields!Kmodel.Value to get percents.) Depreciation, Repairs --------------------------------------------------------------------- =IIF(Sum(Fields!RentalBilling.Value)<>0,Sum(Fields!Depreciation.Value)/Sum(Fields!RentalBilling.Value),0)/-1, =IIF(Sum(Fields!RentalBilling.Value)<>0,Sum(Fields!Repairs.Value)/Sum(Fields!RentalBilling.Value),0)
We have a report that is printed landscape and contains a main table with values. Inside this table we also want to create a "sub-report" table based on two other criteria (charges and credits), but this data is still grouped with the main table. Here is a simple schematic of the report
XXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX Charges
XXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXX
Credits
XXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXX
We have placed a rectangle in the last column of the main table to accomodate two other "sub-tables": one for Charges and the other for Credits. We need to keep the heighth of each row in the main table the same (without extra white space) so we cannot move the second table for Credits below the table for charges.
I hope this makes sense and anybody with any suggestions, it is appreciated.
I'm developing a system in .NET to record and manage marks for classroom attendance. To enable staff to print-out the registers, I need to output the data in a printable format. My first thought on this was to use Reporting Servcices, however there are a number of caveats.
I'm using the matrix control to handle the displaying of the students with the class dates and attendance marks. After 25 columns are output this should wrap to a new page, is this possible? When wrapping to a new page, the first 3 columns should remain the same with the other 18 being the next lot of class dates. There needs to be 25 rows shown, regardless of whether or not there are actually 25 rows returned from the dataset.
Essentially the layout for this is strictly controlled. Is RS the correct tool for this or is there something else I can/should use?
I have got problem of designing a report table. The table is created based on 5 field dataset output, student name, semester, unit name, unit code and exam mark. e.g.
StudentID Semeter UnitName UnitCode Mark ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 123456 1, 2006 Database IT001 85 123456 1, 2006 XML IT002 82 123456 2, 2006 Web Development IT003 76 123456 2, 2006 ............ etc
and there is supposed to one table for one semester and the student ID and Semester must be in the first 2 rows and all the other data is column based as normal, which is like
StudentID 123456 Semester 1, 2006 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ UnitName UnitCode Mark Database ITN001 85 XML ITN002 82
StudentID 123456 Semester 2, 2006 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ UnitName UnitCode Mark Web Development ITN003 76
I only can create the table using grouping but the layout is column based. Does anybody know how can I design the table to achieve the above table layout.
I started the project with the goal of using 2005 Reporting Services as the reporting mechanism. Our graphic designer has created a layout that has been approved by the company and I am attempting to translate that layout to a report design that gives similar output.
I have discovered during the course of working with reports that true free from data layout is not possible. What I was expecting was the ability to design a layout for data in the body section of the report, and that layout being repeated for each row of data in the database.
I understand that tables and lists exists that allow repeated data to be displayed, but is it possible to repeat data in a custom freeform layout with 2005 Reporting Services.
Imagine if you were creating a report that looked like an ID card for each record. Would such a layout be possible with this reporting service?
If not, could someone direct me to a reporting application that does? Does Crystal Reports satisfy this requirement? I liked Reporting Services because it allowed one to design once and output into several popular formats, but the design portion doesn't appear to be as freeform as I was lead to believe.
I'm having a problem with my deployed reports. Once they have been deployed to a server then the layout changes and some parts of the report move around to line up with the edge of a matrix or the bottom of a table even through they do not actually overlap. The layout also changes depending on whether report items are visible or hidden, with tables moving away from hidden items but lining up witht hem when they are visible.
This also sometimes happens when moving between the layout and preview tabs in reporting services although this is not so much of a problem.
Has anyone else experienced the same problems and if so did you find a solution?
I have a report that i have totaled and working correctly and I am able to get the 2 columns to sum up but I need to get those 2 sumed columns to be divided to get the gross prof %.
The columns that I have summed are =Sum(Fields!eqpsldamt.Value) =Sum(Fields!grosspro.Value)
I need to take those summed values and divide them but I do not know the propper syntax to do this. I thought it would have been =SUM(Fields!grosspro.Value) / SUM(eqpsldamt.Value)
But this did not work any help would be great thanks!

I have some old code that was used in cristal reports and thought it might help with my problem. I need this to calcuate intrest for every piece of equipment.
IF ({equipdet.ACQUIRED_DATE} < Date(2007,01,01)) THEN ({equipdet.Book Value}*(CurrentDate - Date(2007,01,01)) * .07/365) ELSE IF ({equipdet.ACQUIRED_DATE} > Date(2007,01,01)) THEN {equipdet.Book Value}*(CurrentDate - {equipdet.ACQUIRED_DATE})* .07/365
I am just not sure how to write this in the layout view.
Is there anyway of copying an entire database (table layout, stored procs etc) without the data that the tables contain please?
I have a SQL7 DB (production) that I need to replicate on a SQL200 Server (development) but the DB is very large and all I need is the table structure and the stored procs on the development Server...
Can I hear your views on this type of DB layout? I have a DB that contains tables which are not linked by FK's etc but rely on one another through SP's. I've never came across this layout before so was hoping you could shed some light on it with your experiences etc.
Also what if many of the tables didn't have PK's this would lead to duplicate data being allowed to be entered into the database. Are there any other issues here?
Hello to everyoneI am using SQL Server Enterprise Manager and I would like to print thestructure of each table of a database, with the purpose to see the wholerecord layout.

I have a report that needs to show postal addresses. The address is broken down into several fields. The problem I have is some of the address parts are optional. If they are empty, I'm left with nasty gaps in the address. I'd really like next label to reclaim the space of any empty labels.
a quick example
A full address would look like this..
customer name address line 1 address line 2 town county post code
if address line 2 isnt given, I get:
customer name address line 1
town county post code
but I want:
customer name address line 1 town county post code
