I am in the middle of migrating all Crystal Reports over to SSRS and am having some troubles converting formulas used in Crystal Reports to functional expressions in SSRS. For example: My formula for one of the crystal reports is the following. Very simple logic but how would I build it as an expression to work in my SSRS report?
IF {CUST_ORDER_LINE.ORDER_QTY}-{CUST_ORDER_LINE.TOTAL_SHIPPED_QTY} < 0 THEN 0 ELSE {CUST_ORDER_LINE.ORDER_QTY}-{CUST_ORDER_LINE.TOTAL_SHIPPED_QTY}
Can anyone tell me if MS Reporting Services can import/read a Crystal Reports file as it can an Access report file?
I've seen a few posts out on other boards that there are some companies charging fees for converting Crystal Reports over to MS Reporting Services.
Is there any easier way? Are there any tools out there that can do it?
Perhaps Microsoft should produce such a tool for converting...
Thanks in advance for any help!!
Crystal reports to Reporting Services
Is there any way I can convert Crystal reports to Reporting Services instead of creating reports again in Reporting Services?
In Crystal Reports you can setup Alerts to alert you to a certain criteria when ever you refresh the report..
Is this possible within Reporting services?
If so how do you set them up?
Thanks

Hi,
I am converting a crystal report cross-tab, in to a reporting services matrix. The cross-tab uses a GridRowColumnValue function to hide/show the data & total fields.
Is there an equivalent in reporting service or a workaround method for this?
Thank you

I am migrating my reports from crystal 8 to reporting services 2005 but before this my client wants answers of following question.Can anybody provide me answer or link related to mentioned question...
1 -Will there be any performance improvement when the same Report (considering big data) is being run with Sql-Server reporting services compared to the one with Crystal report engine?
2- Is it possible to make the labels which are part of Top Palette like €œ1 of 1€?, €œFind€?, €œNext€?, €œSelect a format€?, €˜Export€? according to the Account language?
3- Can both Versions of Reporting Tools (SQL-Reporting service and Crystal Report) run on the same machine?
4- What are the limitations of this Tools like whether there are any additional load on Database Server because of the involvement of Reporting services which are installed on DB Server.
5- Whether there are additional (to Crystal Report) types of Graph formats, Export file types available?
6- How is the licensing done for SQL-Server Report services?
Please provide me the answers ASAP.
I am currently migrating several Crystal Reports that have charts. The chart series is set to use the TopN values in a count, and combine the rest of the series into one series titled "Other". I see how to filter the chart using TopN, however I need to still show the rest of the data grouped as "Other". I think the solution I need is to create a group expression that uses some sort of IIF function to create the "Other" group, but I haven't found a function that I can use to get the results I need. Any ideas?

Currently we are using Custom Delivery Extension for SSRS 2008R2 We are planning to move it SSRS2012
My Question is: Whether we can use the same Code used for SSRS2008R2 to SSRS2012?
if not what code changes we should do?
Is there any way to get the report toolbar using SOAP Api  in SSRS reporting.

re: Reporting Options with SQL Server
I wanted to propose an offshoot to the pryor thread:
Would anyone take a stab at comparing Access Reports, Crystal Reports,
Cognos or other options to all the Reporting Services and its components offered as part ofSQL Server, especially as to extracting data from SQL Server into a report format?
I guess this is a far as capabilites, ease of use, limitations, and especially formatting
or presentation of the end report product?
Thank you to all, and I hope this is a beneficial discussion to others.

We've got a requirement to build the real time report. user can browse report at any point of time and need to see the latest data(stock market) in the report.
I've few options down...
1. Directly point to OLTP database as source and write stored procedure to show result set.
2. Replicate the database and write the SP's to reports. To avoid pointing directly to OLTP db.
3. To build the datawarehouse with dim & facts to show it in reports. I prefer this as a standard method, but this would have some latency depending on trasaction load which will differ from the requirement.
We built our prod server [vm] with SQL Server 2008 R2 on Server 2008 R2. It works nicely. Then we made a copy of the VM and renamed it (so our test environment would be IDENTICAL to production). After that, SSRS was broken: I get "HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable." I can't connect via http, or SSMS.
We have tried:
*Â Running SSRS config tool (several times)
* Running with/without the IIS Server Role
*Â Dropping & recreating the SSRS keys
*Â Recreating the ReportServer database, etc
*Â Checking all of the accounts, permissions, etc
*Â Running SQL Repair
*Â Going through the registry to fix any references to the machine's old name
*Â Uninstalling, reinstalling SSRS
* Completely uninstalling ALL of the parts of SQL Server 2008 R2, deleting all directories, removing references to SQL Server from the registry, rebooting, reinstalling everything.
None of this has worked. SSRS [R2] is still 503 on our test box.
the SSRS [NT] service seems to run, without error. The Event Viewer doesn't seem to be recording any errors. The SSRS logs say that the default URL is wrong, but we get the same error in Prod, and Prod works fine. The other SQL Logs say something about not being able to contact the service. However, as I said, the [NT] service seems to be working fine.
Hey everyone...I'm completely new to SQL Server and I'm trying to learn the Reporting Services tool. I just installed SQL Server 2005 and selected to install all the options, atleast I'm 99.99% sure I did.
When I go to launch Report Services Configuration, I get "No report servers were found on the specified machine. Details: Invalid namespace". Do I need IIS for this to work?
Also, I do not think the AdventureWorks database was installed, I cannot seem to find it anywhere. I have tried to go back through and reinstall it, but it says that it is already installed.
Also, is there a certain order that you are supposed to install things? i.e. SQL Server before Visual Studios?
Thanks in advance.
*Edit* BTW, I'm using Windows XP, SQL Server Enterprise Edition, and VS.NET 2005.
Is it possible to have my pop up SSRS box size according to the size of the returned value? Issue is, i have a text box that returns a note field and depending on the number of notes, it can and will vary in size. I am currently using this code
="javascript:void window.open(" &"'"& Globals!ReportServerUrl &"/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?"
&Globals!ReportFolder &"/Patient%20Eligibility&rc:Parameters=False&rc:Toolbar=False
&VPATIENTPROFILEID="& Fields!PatientProfileID.Value
&"
','DetailsWindow','left=300,top=180,width=920,height=455,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,location=no'"Â &
")"
I am using VS 2010 and the SSRS that came with it. I am sure its SSRS 2008. Anyway, I added a report file to the project, added an ObjectDataSource and connected this to SQLServer 2008, and display the dataset on the report. The report is using ScriptManager, ReportViewer1, and Report1.rdlc file. I preview the dataset and I have multiple row returned. The problem is I only have one row displayed on the report. Maybe I did a quick and dirty report? What setting of properties did I missed?

For example when I execute a SSRS report I would like the report to automatically access [URL] (as an example). The reason we are doing this is we want to access another reporting application but record the number and times of access via the reporting services execution tables/views. Is this achievable by putting some code in the Report properties. Can you open - execute url and then close report via some code.

I was trying to have multivalue options in a ssrs report, and I used this query Â
SELECT {[Measures].[Sales Amount],[Measures].[Tax Amount]} on columns,non empty([Product].[Color].[Color],[Product].[Product Name].[Product Name]) on rows
from
( selectÂ
(STRTOSET(@color))
 on columns
 from [Analysis Services Tutorial])
But the report only showed the default value as an option(in this format [Product].[Color].&[Multi] whic is not presentable),and what I also noticed in the parameter option is that, the available values option is set to none , also when I try to use get from query , it does not give me the vales for the parameters,and when I right click the designer pane it does not have the show hidden dataset option.I have created the parameter with multivalue option. what can I do to get the multivalue option to work.
My system environment: win2008 R2 SP1 64bit + SQL 2005 SP4 32bit
I amended the configuration file of rsreportserver.config with the below:
<Extension Name="CSV" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.CsvRenderer.CsvReport,Microsoft.ReportingServices.CsvRendering" >
  <Configuration>
  <DeviceInfo>
   <Encoding>UTF-8</Encoding>
  </DeviceInfo>
  </Configuration>
  </Extension>
If I run the report and then click export by selecting the csv format, it looks ok with the encoding of UTF-8.
However, the same report , when I created a subscription and saved it in the hard driver. Its encoding became USC-2 Little Endian.
When the SSRS report exported to CSV file, all the column headers are added in the first row. The issue here is, I have hidden( thru Visibility property) some of the columns in the report but those columns are also displayed in the header row(first row)CSV file and the blank values for their corresponding data.for example, I have displayed only below 3 columns out of 6 columns in the report.col1, col2, col3but the CSV generated as below:
format..col1,col2,col3,col4,col5,col6a1,a2,a3,,,b1,b2,b3,,,c1,c2,c3,,,
I don't want the highlighted items.The TableColumn Visibility property has been setup as below..
=IIF(Fields!col4.IsMissing, TRUE, FALSE)
When the report is exported to other formats(like Excel,XML..)Â this works fine.. i.e., no hidden columns are displayed.
I have below query which is working fine in SQL but if i use same query in SSRS dataset then it is not working at all.If i put only one condition in where clause then it works but if i put multiple conditions then it does not works in SSRS and through error "data is not available".
SELECT id,
DATEDIFF(DAY, Created, BMTRequestReviewDate) AS 'EvaluateDays',
all code goes here
FROM [dbo].[SBWT_Data]
WHERE
upper(Status) not like '%XX%'
AND upper(Status) not like '%DELETED%'
upper(Status) not like '%CLOSED%'
---OR
WHERE Status NOT IN ('90 - Closed','XX - Rejected','XX - Request Rejected','XX - Deleted')
As you can see in code i have tried with both where conditions but it is not working. It seems that SSRS does not supports multiple conditions for same field.
I have 400 records in my report , i want display 20 records per page , how can i do the same in ssrs.

mod 60+sum(CInt(split(Fields!HHMMSS.Value,":")(2)))60)
&":"& CStr(sum(CInt(split(Fields!HHMMSS.Value,":")(2))) mod 60))
and nothing works. What could be wrong with my expression?
The data source is Fetch XML - so all the values are string.I need to sum the values but getting an error:
Warning  1      [rsAggregateOfNonNumericData] The Value expression for the textrun ‘Textbox25.Paragraphs[0].TextRuns[0]’ uses a numeric aggregate function on data that is not numeric.  Numeric aggregate functions (Sum, Avg, StDev, Var, StDevP, and VarP) can only aggregate numeric data.I tried converting it to INT but it returns a large number which does not match what I'm expecting.

Previously I was using SSRS to create a local website(native mode) for our domain users to access. I wonder whether it is possible to share the website to outside users(just like youtube, everyone can access it). Is there a possible way to achieve that?
