Reporting Services :: SSRS 2012 Background Color Format By Expression When Exporting To Excel
Mar 28, 2013
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.
I have requirement, In my chart report target(Dased Lines) and Below average lines are there, I want to set below average line values background color Pink color like below diagram. How can we achive the below requirement in SSRS 2012.
Note: Pink Color of Below Average Value based on expression.
I have a report with three subreport, i want to hide data of subreport while exporting reporting in to excel. I have used this function (=IFF Globals! Render foramt.IsInteractive,False,True) but didnt work.
I have created SSRS report which has many overlapping objects, the output in PDF format seems to good but in word format it is not giving the required output.
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 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.
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 a SSRS report developed in SQL 2012. When I exporting the report into word the back ground colour of page header missing. When Exporting to PDF and Excel page header BG colour showing.
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?
In the tablix If there is no Details row and Tablix is having multiple Groupings and in this case how do I apply Alternate Row Background Color atleast for one grouping.
I am using the following expression to place the month in the heading of a column.
=MonthName(Month(DateAdd("M",-1,Now)))
The expression above gives me the previous month, but I need to have it as "Jan", not "January".
expression that will give me the three character month name instead of the full month. I've tried substituting the "M" with "MMM", but get an error. I've also tried "Mon", but again, I get an error.
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 am working on SSRS 2008, I need to change background color of alternative columns. We can change simply if it is a textbox column but my columns all are in checkbox () based one expressions and I didn't see any background color option In properties for this check box column(please see the images below), is there any way to change background color for alternative columns?I need like this
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 decimal data type column with a record in the following format 20150219 --> yyyyMMdd. And I am trying to convert the return value from SSRS date/time parameter to a decimal value.
The TMDTOP column is the decimal data type with date records in yyyyMMdd format.
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.
When exporting SSRS 2008 R2 report to an csv or excel file not all the rows are being exported. The number of rows is less then 500 and it seems to be a pretty straight forward export.
I have one SSRS report which uses drill down "+" approach. The records will be opening only when you click on the "+" sign. There are 3 levels of "+" sign in the report. All records are included when exporting to excel. Is it possible to exclude all the records? Can we show only the opened records.?
I am getting extra column while exporting SSRS report into excel but those columns not in my report. How to avoid these columns please find the attached screen shot with red circle.
I have a drill down report which need to be exported to excel. But, when exporting to excel it shows many unwanted blank rows for a particular record due to the drill down option.
Is it possible to remove it?
I need to exclude the rows in yellow color when exporting to excel.
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:
I have a co-worker who applied build 3161 to SQL Server 2005. The original problem was that the print preview was showing up as black.This is a documented issue with Microsoft here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935436
Now, when she goes into expression builder, the foreground AND background color for what you type in there appears to be white... so everything shows up as invisible. You can highlight the text you type and it shows up but otherwise it is obviously invisible.
I am facing some issue in rendering my SSRS report(2012 version) to excel sheet with color codes. i am using conditional formatting to display the colors. So what is happening is ,take the below expression as an example, for the id = 0, we are not getting white back ground, we are getting some other colors. But the same thing is working fine in SSRS 2008R2.
I have a matrix report and as per the requirement, I must format the row colors. First row must be no color and second row must be light blue. This color formatting would repeat for remaining rows in the matrix. I tried to select the entire row in the matrix, selected "Background Color" option and in "Expression" window, I entered "=IIf(RowNumber(nothing) MOD 2, "White","LightBlue")".This resulted in the color formatting of columns in the matrix report.
I am currently exporting scheduled report in excel format via SSRS subscription and the report is getting deposited in 97-2003 (.xls)format. I am using SQL Server 2008 R2 version
Now i need to export the report in .XLSX format. What i need todo to upgrade the exporting excel version (i.e .XLS to .XLSX format ) as .XLXS version is only available from Excel 2007 and later version.
We are showing hovering data in the report. When we hover the pointer of the mouse over cell, it shows the data. But when we export the report in excel, hover functionality is not working in exported report. Finding the solution to ensure hovering should work in the exported excel report.
We mark cells in a report using color names like red, pink, and transparent in the fill expression. In the browser it works correctly. When exported to Excel the colors go to the wrong cells. This worked correctly in SSRS 2008.
I have a report in SSRS2012. It was copied from SSRS2005 quite recently, as we have upgraded. The SQL developer said that it didn't need any code changes, as he had some kind of tool to test code problems between the two versions. The report has a table, with 5 row groups, and one detail row. The table is setup as follows:
Name Sales Costs Profit
Group1 Group2 Group3 Group4 Group5 DetailsRow
When I run this report using the Report Manager website from SSRS2005, and then export to Excel 2013, I get the 6 row groups in Excel, no problem whatsoever. I can drill into each group in Excel, using the group drilldown column on the left hand side. This works the same as the Report Manager website.
If I run the exact same report from the Report Manager website in SSRS2012, the Report Manager result is the same as SSRS2005 - all the row groups are present, and the drilldown works fine. However, the export to Excel has issues with the groups. There are only 3 row groups showing in Excel, along with a column group added for no apparent reason.
Drilling into each group shows inconsistent details, and there is no apparent logic as to what is shown within each group. I should also mention, that this issue with groups is seen on all my reports which have groups, not just this report.
I have a column bar chart which displays values for each month. As per the requirement, January column must be blue, February must be orange, March must be green, April must be pink. These 4 colors would repeat for the remaining months.
I have created 1 report with 2 datasets. This report is attached to the 1st dataset.For example,1st one is "Smallappliances", 2nd is "Largeappliances".
I created a tablix and, the 1st column extracts Total sales per Sales person between 2 dates from 1st dataset (Small appliances). I used running values expression and it works fine.
Now, I would like to add another column that extracts Total sales per sales person between 2 dates from 2nd dataset (Large appliances). I am aware that I need to use Lookup expression and it is giving me the single sales value rather than the total sales values. So, I wanted to use RunningValue expression within lookup table to get total sales for large appliances.
This is the lookup expression that I added for the 2nd column.
I get this error when I preview the report.An error occurred during local report processing.The definition of the report is invalid.An unexpected error occurred in report processing.
