I have a report I'm designing where, as a simple SQL report viewed only on a screen, it was irrelevant how wide it was. However, now I've been asked to duplicate this report in SSRS and to include the option to print it out.
Well, the problem is, as it stands - with 8pt font, even - it will require a sheet of paper about 24" wide to get all of a single row to print.
So, I'm trying to create a Tablix that will split the data into two sets of header/detail rows in the same Tablix. Any workable solution that doesn't involve writing an app in basic or C.
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?
I have one tablix and this tablix has 2 parts(chart and table with numbers). Table with numbers uses Dataset1 and for chart I created another, 2nd dataset. How to get information from second dataset?
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've got a report consisting of nested list items and a tablix inside the last list.
As seen below - the tablix seem to shift the "Brand No:" textbox details to the right when it becomes bigger. How do I prevent this? Is there some anchor property of the text boxes that link them to the tablix?
Using a single multi select parameter I want to show/hide 5 tablix's I have in my SSRS 2008 report. Inside the parameter I want to give each tablix a value a have user control which tablix he wants to see. If user selects all 5 he should be able to see all 5 or if he selects only 4 then display only the 4 tablix's user selected or select's only 3 then display only 3 so on so forth.
How to configure the parameter and hidden expression of the tablix.
I have to create tablix report using data from 2 datasets. The data source for one of the dataset, DataSet1 is Microsoft SQL Server and the data source for the other dataset, DataSet2 is Excel.
I have to pic 3 columns from DataSet1 and one column from DataSet2.
I am creating a report in which i have used ranges .
i have used ranges inside a rectangle but when i preview the tablix ranges are coming Perfect concern is that during export to excel border of the rectangle comes only for one row and gets hidden for second row .and its working perfect when exporting to PDF .
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 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 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.
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 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 have a tablix report (SSRS 2008) when I render it in excel my client always need to see the row headers as fixed one i.e when he/she scrolls report from row 20 scrolling should begin and always want to see first 20 row and next should be scrolling. Is this possible.
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.
I have two charts which are based on their own separate datasets. One chart shows data aggregated by MONTH, the other chart shows data aggregated by WEEK. I have put both of these charts inside a rectangle and set their visibility based on whether or not there is data returned by their respective datasets. This part is working just fine.
However, I have added a tablix to the report, deleted all columns and rows leaving only one remaining row/column so it looks like a textbox. This tablix is sitting on top of the two charts. The problem i'm having is that when both charts return no data and they do not show up in the report, the tablix still remains visible. I need to set the visibility but based on a condition between the two different datasets behind each chart.
Here's what I need: If ONE of the charts returns data, then I need the tablix to be visible. If neither chart returns data, then I need the tablix to be invisible. I'm trying to write an IIF statement comparing the two datasets but I get inscope errors. Isn't it possible to compare values which are contained in two separate datasets in SSRS?
Seems like something like the following logic should work:
IIF(CountRows("Monthly_DataSet") > 0 OR CountRows("Weekly_DataSet") > 0 , FALSE, TRUE)
Obviously the above expression will return syntax errors, but you'll get the point as to how i'm thinking. How can I set the visibility of the tablix based on these two charts?
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 have a conditional split in an SSIS package - one split is where if rows are returned according to a specific rule, then insert those rows into to a Recordset Destinationm which points to a variable of Object type.
How I can use this variable to email fellow users. For example, what I would like is if ANY rows are returned to the Object variable (1 or more), then I would like to execute an email SP that we have on our server.
I have a report created using MS SQL Server 2005 reporting services and deployed to the report server. I added a subscription for the report to be scheduled to run and emailed to someone on a regular basis. But now we want the report emailed ONLY when there is data returned. If no data is returned after the report runs then don't email it. Does anyone know how to do that?
I have a matrix with a title column. My matrix has a column that is expanded in 2 with data changes as followings:
MY TITLE1 MY TITLE2 YEAR 2007 YEAR 2008 } matrix matrix Column column } matrix
How can I change de title (MY TITLE2) differently according to the changing value of the dynamic data column ? My title2 has to be located above the YEAR 2008 and has to be different from MY TITLE 1.
Thank you for your help. Best Regards, Hirondelle.
I'm running SQL Server 2008 Feb08 CTP and I've got a tablix with column groupings and row groupings which works nicely, I'm a becomming a big fan of the tablix.
However sometimes the filter I have on a column group returns no records and the whole column group disappears. Is there any way to make this column appear with but with empty cells as I have another tablix down the page with the same columns and I want the columns to all line up on the multiple tablix.
In Version 2005 I used to achieve the equivalent of a column group within a table by adding a list with filter to the cell, this meant the column always was shown, the tablix allows does this much more elegantly but I'll have to go back to the old method if I can't make the column remain.
