Reporting Services :: SSRS Tablix Format For Column Repetition
Aug 24, 2015
I am design a tablix report where i have proper row grouping but when i am trying to column grouping also unable to fetch proper design...design what exactly i am trying.
I am facing whitespace issue in my SSRS report. I have simple tablix report with 10 columns. I am trying to toggle column 5 to 8 using on column 4. The problem I am facing is the whitespace. Now column 5 to 8 are only visible when we expand column 4. When the report is rendered on the screen, there is a huge gap between column 4 and 9.
I have simplified my question. For complex presentations of data it appears to me that the best practice is to put complicated code into a stored procedure that will make most of the formatting decisions, and keep the SSRS work in the report designer as simple as possible.
The following text is from the original question. I have an SSRS report which contains 2 tablixes. Each tablix has a different dataset coming from separate stored procedures. Currently, everything works good; the user selects one customer (customer A) to display the one page report for; data for customer A for the 1st tablix may contain 7 rows, and data for customer A for the 2nd tablix may contain 4 rows. User prints report, then chooses customer B which may have a different number of rows for each tablix.
I would like to give the user the option to select "All Customers" to display the report for all customers, one page per customer and I currently do not perceive that there is a way to paginate the report; one page per customer. When I pass in "All Customers" to the 2 stored procedures I get all of the correct data back; sorted by customer; so I can do some sort of page break on a row group on the customer name column, but I have 2 tablixes of data.
I have a report I'm trying to modify for a client that has two auto-grow tablix. We want the second tablix to start after the first one completes, however the first tablix will overwrite the second one if it contains multiple rows, rather than pushing it down. How can I control this?
I am using SSRS 2012 RC0 in Visual Studio 2010 sp1 to build this tabular report. I had inadvertently removed the initial header row from my tablix before adding numerous nested groupings to move the column headers to the header section so they would show up on each page.
I would like to reverse that decision, but I seem to be unable to now re-add that header row back to my tablix. In older versions of SSRS, I was able to right click on the table and then click on insert row-->Header row but that does not seem to be possible in ssrs 2012.. I tried adding a outer row to my top most grouping, but that option was grayed out.
I have created a new report & add a table to it. When I select "Tablix Properties" and check on Columns Headers -> "Repeat Cheader columns on each page" the header columns do not repeat on each page. I also tried "Repeat header rows on each page". "Add page break before" seems to work ok. I am using VS 2008 9.0.30729.1 SP..I also tried deploying but it still does not work on the deployed version.
I have 2 tables in my report, a multi value parameter (tp_title) is passed to the report. I am trying to hide the first tablix with this expression in the visiblity option of the tablix properties.
=IIF(Parameters!tp_Title.value = "Financial Years" or Parameters!tp_Title.value="ALL", False,True )
I get the error: The Hidden expression for the tablix ‘Tablix1’ contains an error: Overload resolution failed because no Public '=' can be called with these arguments: 'Public Shared Operator =(a As String, b As String) As Boolean': Argument matching parameter 'a' cannot convert from 'Object()' to 'String'.
When I render the report. How the tablix can be made invisible based on the parameter?
I has developed one report in SSRS in SSRS 2008 R2 and when I preview the report in report viewer in all pages Report Header is repeating, whereas when I export the same report to PDF strange for some pages header is missing.
When I searched in google for SSRS 2008 Microsoft agreed that it is a bug and they provided the hotfix. And this hotfix is not working for SSRS 2008 R2 as it is a higher edition but still I facing the same issue.
We have a report that was created in SSRS 2008 R2 that has 3 tables with different datasets that share a common ID that I want to use to group them.
If we run the report passing only a single value for the grouped parameter then the report works perfectly. What we need is for this report to allow multiple values to be selected for this parameter and for the report to run as if the user had selected each value one at a time and run the report with page breaks in between. Currently, when we pass multiple selected values for the grouping parameter the report displays all values for table 1, then all values for table 2, then all values for table three as below:
Table 1:
Detail rows for Group Param Value 1 ... Detail rows for Group Param Value 2 ... Detail rows for Group Param Value 3 ... ....
Table 3:
Detail rows for Group Param Value 1 ... Detail rows for Group Param Value 2 ... Detail rows for Group Param Value 3 ...
But we want it to render like this:
Table 1: Detail rows for Group Param Value 1... Table 2: Detail rows for Group Param Value 1... Table 3: Detail rows for Group Param Value 1...
[code]....
The page breaks are needed so that when the report is exported to excel each individual report (by group param) will be on its own uniquely named tab.The report must export cleanly to excel and currently does for the single value passed.
I am working on complex invoice document that handles various types of invoicing, credit, and progress bill customer facing documents. I am faced with same problem I see many SSRS devs posting on. And that is extra blank pages, being generated because the report width exceeds the width of the page.
My problem is I cannot shrink the horizontal width of the tablix and therefore the report width either...
While I would have done things differently if developing from scratch, the tablix in question has only one column and objects contained in rectangles are placed in the row/column cell.....The link to the image below shows the row I am currently working on. Essentially all the client wants a columnar report with column lines, closed footers, etc... so rather redoing the whole tablix, which I still might do, I am using rectangles with the column then lining them up. Anyway, that is a whole 'nuther post. My specific questions are:
Invoice in Report Builder
1. In the image I have selected the parent rectangle. The children are other rectangles and the data is with grandchildren textboxes that exist within those rectangles. I clearly have a bit of right side white space in the main parent rectangle, but there is no sizing tool on a hover... just move tool. And if I change the rectangle size in the prop form it just snaps back to the cell width. How do I size the parent rectangle and keep if from expanding.
Here I am guessing that to actually reduce the horizontal width of tablix and then the report, I have to first decrease the parent width of the rectangles that occur in each row?
We run 2014 enterprise. I tried this with both table and matrix controls to no avail.
In the table scenario, I drag the table control over, instruct ssrs that a group name will go into column 1 and a sales figure in column2. Then I highlight the sales figure cell, add a column group on month number and generate my report off some june and july data.
ssrs understands that the months now expand horizontally but the rows alternate one with june filled in (blanks in july) and the next with july filled in for the same group name. I believe I got all my sort by conditions set but am not sure.
I tried all sorts of combos in the tablix and group properties before giving up.
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 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.
When I tried to create a bar chart using SSRS 2012, the vertical axis values are repeating for smaller data sets values. It's only happening when the data labels are below 5, when the data is above 5 this chart represents data fine.
I tried specifying the custom intervals and this option all together eliminated the bar for value 1, instead it only showed the value 1 as text on the chart.
I tried changing the data interval type as number and the data type is of Integer, these are counts which I am showing in the chart.
I have a image in SSRS which is of PNG in format. when I preview the image it is coming as expected but if I export that to PDF the image is having the black color back ground. One more point to be noted here is my actual image file is having a small shading in it which is not visible properly, but the same back ground is coming with full black color line in the PDF form.
Another issue is : I have 3 sub reports in my SSRS report. In the preview I can see the data is coming in order of sub reports but if I export it to PDF the second sub-report data is coming at the end of the report and first and 3rd sub reports are fine. But If I have only one record for 2nd sub-report the order is same in both the Preview page as well as in the PDF format.
Below is list of Date/Time which is my output in SQL Management Studio. When I move this into SSRS and use the DateTime custom function it shows the the Date/Time correctly if there is a time element. However it's defaulting the 00:00:00.000 to 12:00:00 PM which is incorrect.
I would like the SSRS to show as Format dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm but still show the 00:00 element.
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?
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 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.
I'm trying to add a custom report format to ssrs 2005 as per this [URL] I've added the code snippets in the example to three different ssrs 2005 server RSReportServer.config files but it does not work i.e do not show up in the export drop down when rendering report.
I've tried starting and stopping reporting services and it still does not works.
I've also modified the existing csv extension with different options to see if it works but to no avail.However it works with SSRS2008 R2 . In fact it works right after I saved the config file, no restart needed.For SSRS2005 the file is in C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.3Reporting ServicesReportServer. I checked the registry setting just to make sure I'm looking at the correct installation 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE', 'SOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server90ToolsClientSetup', 'SQLPath' The three ssrs2005 instances are in three different physical servers and the problem is with all of them so it is not an isolated incident. I've dbowner rights to all three servers. The server versions are 9.0.4060, 9.0.4035 and 9.0.4053
I am creating a report in SSRS which has the following criteria:
- Row 1 (parent) is 'Product'
- Row 2 (child) is 'Feed'
- Columns are date. I have 5 dates showing at any one time across the top. The date field is set up as a parameter so depending on the date the user selects, the report will show that date on the end column and then the 4 days prior to that in the other columns.
- Data is the number of records.
I have a sub total on the Product and the report is collapsed on Product as default.
What i'm stuck on is trying to insert a column at the very end that will show the variance between the last two dates. So the difference between the date the user selected (@date parameter) and the day before that.
