Reporting Services :: Background Patterns And Exporting To PDF
May 16, 2012
I have a report with a chart that utilizes both colors and background patterns to distinguish various pieces of data.
The background patterns work great (they are very clear and provide excellent contrast) when viewed in the report viewer or printed straight from the report viewer.
However, when I export to PDF, the background patterns become compressed and small, almost to the point of being too small to distinguish that there is a pattern at all. The result ends up being what appears to be just a different shade of the background color. This is particularly a problem when you then print the PDF on paper, since hatching patterns are similar to how printers create different shades in the first place.
I am somewhat suspicious that this might have to do with resolution settings for PDF exports. If I could lower the resolution, perhaps the patterns would not become so tight and compressed. Below are examples of what I'm describing:

We are using SSRS 2012. We have a report that conditionally formats a background color for some cells. The report renders properly in a browser and in Excel 2003 format. In Excel format all cells after the first one that meets the condition are highlighted, even if only one cell should.
The sample expression that triggers this condition looks like this:
=IIF(Fields!VIOL_NOTE.Value="Internal","Green","No Color")
All cells after the first one that meets the condition Fields!VIOL_NOTE.Value="Internal" have a green background.
Excel 2003 (proper) results:

I tried creating one simple bar chart report in SSRS, with background fill with pattern "UpwardDiagonal", the stripes on the column when viewed insider report viewer control is quite prominently visible, whereas when exporting the same report to PDF the lines are very thin and dense and hence makes it very difficult to differentiate between one column with pattern inside and one without. I have even tried various other pattern like "LightUpwardDiagonal" and "WideUpwardDiagonal" but all have same result when exported to PDF.why?

I'm trying to deploy a report to Reporting Services, but I've found that there's a behaviour difference Visual Studio and Reporting Services with the Matrix control for the subtotals.
For the background color for the "textbox" on the cells, I've used the folowing expression:
=Iif(Fields!ID__vs_YAGO.Value < 1, "Red"
,Iif(Fields!ID__vs_YAGO.Value < 1.02, "Yellow"
,"GreenYellow"))
The individual cells alternate colors, based on the value in the cell. In Visual Studio, the Subtotal cells also alternate colors (which is correct). But when the report is deployed to Reporting Services, The Subtotal cells have a transparent background. (Incorrect).
If I set the same expression into the background setting for the Subtotal cells, the expression is evaluated once for the entire row and the entire row has the same color (different Subtotal lines will alternate). This is the same in both Visual Studio and Reporting Services.
I'm using SP2, 2005 (32 bit for Reporting Services). To ensure full compatibility, I've editted / deployed the report all on the same machine.
Does anyone know of this problem and how to resolve it?
Additional: In testing the various output formats, it seems to be a bug in the HTML rendering engine. PDF amd TIFF work fine. I believe Excel export uses either part of the HTML rendering engine or pieces of the same code base.
P.S. I'm detecting other reporting differences between Visual Studio and Reporting Services, such as how "null key records" (from Analysis Services) are handled in groups. Is there a compatibility list published somewhere?

I have a matrix report:
My Expression in the data fields inside design mode is:
IIF(Fields!Row_num.Value mod 2 ,"White","LightGrey")
I am using a Dense rank Function at the dataset level in order to group id column wise. So Fields!Row_num.Value comes from that set.
Earlier it was BLANK values: Please see below for reference.
Tried IsNull on SQL Server already and does not work because there are no NULLs in the data I am retrieving. The empty cells happen when the matrix creates the crosstab report - where there is no data for a column. Everything else works well except the BLANK values being not colored as you see in the screen shot, im using ISNOTHING function to achieve those 0's if NULLS inside the report. But though we have a value inside the cell coming from report it does not colour the entire group.
My requirement is coloring the entire column group irrespective of the NULLs' or Blanks.
Have also tries several functions, but of no use. I am missing with a tiny thing I guess which I am unable to figure out.
Other Functions Tried:
=IIF(VAL(ReportItems!ROWCOLOR.Value) MOD 2,"WHITE","LightGrey")
=iif(RunningValue(Fields!City.Value,CountDistinct,Nothing) Mod 2, "LIGHTBLUE", "SILVER")
=iif(RunningValue(Fields!DQLogDateTime.Value,CountDistinct, Nothing) MOD 2, "LightGrey","White")

I have a simple report that looks like this:
January February March April
Sales 1050 800 750 1100
Units Sold 50 40 41 60
I want to change the background color to yellow if the value is less than the previous month. For example for the sales row, February sales is less than January and March sales is less than February so I would want the values (800 and 750) to have a background color of yellow. The columns is grouped by month.I've tried experimenting with the Previous function but I run into the following error message: The BackgroundColor expression for the text box has a scope parameter that is not valid for an aggregate function. The scope parameter must be set to a string constant that is equal to either the name of a containing group, the name of a containing data region, or the name of a dataset.

I have 3 SSRS 2014 (Dev, UAT and Prod). I would like to change background colors of each environment and customize the title 'SQL Server Reporting Services' to ' SSRS Development'.
I prefer to implement both, a background color change and a title change. The reason for this is to clarify to end users which environment they are working with.
Where can I make those minimal changes in SSRS 2014.

I want to be able to grant the ability to print and export reports in Report Manager to individual users or a group of users. I know I can disable or enable printing and exporting for all users. What I would like to do is create user groups and place everyone who needs to ability to print or export into those groups.

I need to generate a report in XML format . Expected XML format is
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns:SPO xmlns:ns="urn:abc:SparePartOrder">
<SPOrecset>
<SPOK>
<ZCODE>O</ZCODE>
<KNDNR>00009999</KNDNR>
[Code] ....
I have tried two methods to get the above XML format.
1. Modified XML Nodes - Created a stored procedure which returns the required informations from database. To get the XML format I have modified XML Nodes using DataElementName property from SSRS. I have added the
following code in rsreportserver.
<Extension Name="Custom XML" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.DataRenderer.XmlDataReport,Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataRendering">
<OverrideNames>
<Name Language="en-US">Custom XML</Name>
[Code] ...
When I run the report and export it to XML , I got the XML as given below.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Report Name="POExportToGermany">
<SPOrecset>
<SPOK_Collection>
[code] ...
Here the format is not in the expected format.
2. Using Stored Procedure:- Using Stored procedure I am able to create the expected XML format.
When i click on this link I can see the data in expected XML format. But the problem is I am not able to show this data in report. Dataset is showing the above .XML as given below. How can I generate report using SSRS with expected XML format? What are the procedures to get the above XML format.

I have generated an invoice report is SSRS. It works correctly via Report Builder and the viewer. However if I then export the report to PDF, it throws the formatting of the report off.
As I have mentioned, it is an invoice report. If I print 1 invoice, and export it, everything exports correctly and all formatting is retained. However if i print off and export multiple invoices (range of Invoice 1 to 4), the 1st invoice is exported correctly, but all subsequent ones are not. In so far that where 1 invoice should be printed on 2 pages of A4 paper, it is spread over 7 pages.
The header is one page, then 1 row is on the second page, then a blank page, then another set of data on another page etc. Is it a problem with the page/report sizing/margins?

I have a table where I added several header rows above the details row and increased the row heights to 0.4in. The row height looks fine in preview, but when I export to Excel, it is as if I had not increased the row height. I have found through trial and error that if I place a textbox below my table and position it so that it is under the rightmost column of my table, then I get my desired row heights in Excel. If I remove the textbox or if it is not under the rightmost column then the row heights revert back to their original size. The textbox can be empty and still has the desired effect. i am using SQL Server 2008 RTM and VS 2008 SP1.

Hi everyone,
Our system is set up using SQL Server 2000 and Reporting Services for SQL Server 2000. Our web application is built with Visual Studio 2003, C# and .Net Framework 1.1 and is a 3-tier application. On both our localhost and development builds of the application, the images that get rendered do show up properly. On our live build, the images do not.
One difference that we found is that on the live build, users do not have file permission access to our middle tier that is running reporting services. After examining the URL of where the image is trying to point to, we see that it is trying to access the middle tier from the front presentation tier.
My question is, is there a way to send a certain parameter into the Render method to have the images stored somewhere else? Any help would be greatly appreaciated. Here is the code we currently have:
ReportingService rs = new ReportingService();
rs.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
try
{
//Response.Write("Format: " + format);
if (format == "HTML4.0")
{
// Render arguments
byte[] result = null;
string historyID = null;
string devInfo = "<DeviceInfo><HTMLFragment>True</HTMLFragment></DeviceInfo>";
DataSourceCredentials[] credentials = null;
string showHideToggle = "true";
string encoding;
string mimeType;
Warning[] warnings = null;
ParameterValue[] reportHistoryParameters = null;
string[] streamIDs = null;
ParameterValue[] reportParameters = null;
SessionHeader sh = new SessionHeader();
reportParameters = new ParameterValue[5];
reportParameters[0] = new ParameterValue();
reportParameters[0].Name = "par_userID";
reportParameters[0].Value = userID;
reportParameters[1] = new ParameterValue();
reportParameters[1].Name = "par_menuID";
reportParameters[1].Value = menuID;
reportParameters[2] = new ParameterValue();
reportParameters[2].Name = "par_URL";
reportParameters[2].Value = reportURL;
reportParameters[3] = new ParameterValue();
reportParameters[3].Name = "par_startPage";
reportParameters[3].Value = startPage;
reportParameters[4] = new ParameterValue();
reportParameters[4].Name = "par_endPage";
reportParameters[4].Value = endPage;
//Clean up old files
RemoveFiles(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["tempFileLocation"]);
result = rs.Render(reportPath,
format,
historyID,
devInfo,
reportParameters,
credentials,
showHideToggle,
out encoding,
out mimeType,
out reportHistoryParameters,
out warnings,
out streamIDs);
// // For each image stream returned by the call to render,
// // render the stream and save it to the application root
// byte[] image;
// string optionalString = null;
// string tempFilePath = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["tempFileLocation"].ToString();
//
// foreach (string streamID in streamIDs)
// {
// image = rs.RenderStream(reportPath,
// "HTML4.0",
// streamID,
// null,
// null,
// reportHistoryParameters,
// out optionalString,
// out optionalString);
//
// FileStream stream = File.OpenWrite(tempFilePath + streamID + ".png");
// stream.Write(image, 0, image.Length);
// stream.Close();
// }
// Write the results to the current Web page
string htmlout = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(result);
htmlout = htmlout.Replace("<hr/>", "");
rs.Dispose();
return htmlout;
}

I am using SSRS 2008 R2 and have a report set up on a subscription to be exported to a .TXT file and placed in a network drive folder. The report generates as it should and is placed in the network folder as it should and the file format is .TXT. However, when the text file is uploaded to an ftp site, the results of the very first record within the system the file is uploaded to, has 3 weird leading characters.
But the rest of the records are imported perfectly, as they should be. The system that the file is being uploaded into is not our system, it is a system at a USA Today Newspaper office and is an IBM iSeries server with the programming language of LANSA (Never heard of it).
I have edited the report server configuration file to give the ability to export the report to a .TXT file format and I have included the code snippet on here. Maybe I have missed something, not sure. I have also included the screenshot of the file upload results that were sent to me by USA Today. Is there anything I can do to get those 3 characters to not show up in the first record?
Report Server Config Snippet:
<Extension Name="TXT" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.DataRenderer.CsvReport,Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataRendering">
<OverrideNames>
<Name Language="en-US">TXT (Pipe delimited)</Name>

Hi,
Please help me.
I need to export around 1 million records to excel. As we know that there is a limit of approx 65,000 rows in one worksheet so the exporting functionality is failing. One way is that I should be able to configure the Reporting Service in such a way so that once 65,000 records gets populated in the first worksheet, then the rest 35,000 records gets popultaed in the second worksheet.
I am not able to find out how this can be achieved in Reporting Services. Please help me in this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Raman

I have a report in SSRS 2008 R2 that has multiple subreports, in fact the report uses the same subreport twice with different parameters. Then that subreport also has a subreport, which has a subreport. (It's a complex data scenario with a hierarchy that can go up to three layers deep.) The report renders fine in report viewer, but when I try to export to PDF I get the following error:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
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.
Exception Details: Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ReportServerException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Source Error: An unhandled exception was generated during the execution of the current web request. Information regarding the origin and location of the exception can be identified using the exception stack trace below.
[Code] ....
Each subreport renders correctly to PDF, and if I remove either subreport from the main report, it also renders correctly. But the two subreports together on the report cause the error.
Removing the third hierarchy layer (the final one) fixes the issue. Is there a limit to the number of nested subreports when rendering to a pdf?
