First off, let me just say that I'm a complete newbie to SQL Reporting Services, and .NET in general. We have a VB 6 application that is trying to launch an SRS 2005 report in a viewer window. This was accomplished by creating A VB.NET "wrapper" window that launches the report, and allows the report to be previewed, exported, etc. I did not write any of this.
The report is using a Shared Data Source, which points to a specific database. My problem is that the users can select which db they want when they launch the VB 6 Application, so I need to find a way to edit the connection string in the report to specify which database to use on the fly. I have the db name in the "wrapper" application, but I can't figure out how to pass it to the report.
I am creating simple report in ssrs and pass one parameter only. It will work perfectly (here user enter the parameter value). but i need that i should select the value in drop down box. i had tried many time and did different ways but I am unable to do it.
First i gave the parameter in my sql query in Data set (like WHERE COUNTRY = @COUNTRY) and i checked the Parameters tab in the data set. Here by default comes the Parameter Name: COUNTRY and Parameter value: [@COUNTRY].
Next i select COUNTRY Parameter in the Report Data Pane. and go to properties Here in General Tab: Name COUNTRY Prompt: COUNTRY, Select Get values from query in available values Tab (and also i tried with Select Get values from query in Default Value Tab) and Select Data set: Data Set1, Value field: COUNTRY and Label Field COUNTRY. And Click Ok
And tried to preview the report, it throwing below error
"An error Occured during local report processing. The definition of the report is invalid. The Report Parameter 'COUNTRY' has a DefaultValue or a ValidValue that depends on the report parameter "COUNTRY". Forward dependencies are not valid.
How can I achieve dropdown list.What i missed? Even i unable to do it Multi valued parameters and Cascading parameters.
Actually i am working on SQL Express 2012 version.
Any change or bug in SSIS 2012 which doesn't allow you to change the font colour of an annotation. I am able to change the font type,size and style just not the colour. I have migrated packages from 2008R2 with colour and when placed into 2012 they show as black although when I check the setting they still indicate they are set to the particular colour.
I am running SSIS 2012 version 11.0.5058.0 in Visual Studion 2010 shell Version 10.0.40219.1 SP1 with MS .NET Framework Version 4.5.51641 SP1.
I am creating a matrix in which row color changes alternately(1st row white second row blue and so on .) now i am calling this matrix as a sub report in other report and i had applied grouping on that row in which this MATRIX is called the problem i am facing is in first sub report 1st row is coming in white color while in second sub report 1st row is coming as blue color background  And so on...
Why so is happening as i want 1st row as white and second row as blue i all sub reports .
I have an issue in trying to format rows base on conditions. Below is a replication of the tables and the select statement.
CREATE TABLE #CompareVal (CompareValID INT Not Null , ValName NVARCHAR(75) Null , Vehicle INT Null , Driver INT Null ); GO
[Code] ....
First issue, James and Jane does not have a driver available and that should show "No Driver available"I am to compare values in VehicleAvailable and DriverAvailable to the first row - (Group Value Standard row) so that when a value is less than the value in first row, it should be Gold, if equal to, Blue and if greater than then, Red.
The first row is to be Black. In other for me to be able to compare, I added columns like so:
SELECT #CompanyName , [Description] , ISNULL(CAST(VehicleAvalible AS NVARCHAR(30)),'N/A') AS VehicleAvalible , ISNULL(CAST(DriverAvailable AS NVARCHAR(30)),'No Driver available') AS DriverAvailable , 0 AS TotalVehicles , 0 AS TotalDrivers
[Code] ...
And my expression for "VehicleAvailable" column is :
=Switch(Fields!Description.Value = "Group Value Standard" AND Fields!VehicleAvalible.Value = Fields!TotalVehicles.Value, "Black" , Fields!Description.Value = "Group Value Standard" AND Fields!VehicleAvalible.Value < Fields!TotalVehicles.Value, "Black" , Fields!Description.Value = "Group Value Standard" AND Fields!VehicleAvalible.Value > Fields!TotalVehicles.Value, "Black"
[Code]....
This doesn't work as I am comparing integer against text value. How do I format to get result like the below image?
I want to set the default value of the parameter based on the query result, when the current_status parameter is set as "opened" I want a certain date value to be displayed in the next parameter (start date), if it is set as closed I want a different date value to be displayed in the next parameter (start date), so I created the dataset with the query given below and assigned the default value to the query fields start and end date, however my Report parameters are not changing as expected.
dataset query:
IF @current_status = 'Opened' SELECT DISTINCT cast(DATEADD(yy, DATEDIFF(yy, 0, getdate()), 0) AS date) AS Start_Date1, cast(MAX(estcompletion_date) AS DATE) AS End_date FROM <Table Name> ELSE IF @current_status = 'Closed' SELECT     distinct cast(DATEADD(yy, DATEDIFF(yy, 0, getdate()), 0) AS date) AS Start_Date1, cast(getdate() AS DATE) AS End_date FROM <Table Name>
On a 64bit Itanium cluster, I'm having a problem dynamically setting the ConnectionString of a TextFile Source using the "EvaluateAsExpression" = True and setting the ConnectionString using an expression from a variable. I get the error message:
-1073647612,0x,The result of the expression "@[User::vFullFilePath]" on property "ConnectionString" cannot be written to the property. The expression was evaluated, but cannot be set on the property.
This is not a problem at all on a 32bit machine. I can run the same package on 32bit and it runs fine.
The funny thing is, I'm able to dynamically change the ConnectionString of a Logfile that we're writing all of the errors to, which I believe is using a TextFile Destination connection under the covers somehow (I'm using the SSIS Logging, to a textfile).
Is there any possibility to have the  Defaultvalue of  a Parameter in Bold fonts and rest of it as Default parametervalue=Defaultvalue ,"Bold","Default".So for example in drop down of parameter if the C is the current value it would look like this:
I have a dts package that imports a number of text files into a SQL Server 2000 database table. The package has been set up to accept a text file with a row delimiter of carriage return and line feed ({CR}{LF}). Some of the text files I receive only have a line feed ({LF}) as the row delimiter and the dts package fails the file. Is there an activex script i can use that will scan the file and change the row delimiter as required?
i was going to use the filesystemobject which allows me to read a line at a time, however the Readline method doesn't read the new line character. The text files are too big to read into one variable and then do a replace.
Any help would be appreciated
I am using SQL Server 2000 SP3, Windows Server 2000 and Windows XP Professional. All systems are fully patched
I have a table (source file) where all sourse file(its all text file) name and location stored. i have a dts packeage, through this package all the sourse file will upload. So I need to dynamically change the source file name in dts packages.
Using SSRS 2008R2 is it possible to change the file extension of a CSV data driven subscription? Â I'm outputting a text file with a .csv extension, but users have access to these files and I don;t want them opened with Excel and then saved back in an incorrect format.Â
These are the options I have from the report "manage" option. Â
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?
I am using SSRS 2008 R2 Report Builder 3.0 (10.50.4276.0) . I have simple set of data which has a persons Title and Name e.g. Mr Smith, Miss Jones, Doctor Foster
The report has a parameter where the user can select which records to show based on the matching titles (Mr, Miss, Doctor)
The Query for the report uses Title in (@Title) where @Title is the only parameter which can take multiple values. The report works correctly for any 1 value selected, but as soon as 2 or more values are ticked in the drop down, it fails.
I believe the parameter value is being passed into the query with a comma separating the values e.g. Mr,Miss which causes the IN statement to give an error, as the statement would be where Title IN ('Mr,Miss') which does not match any of the data values.
The parameter value passed needs to be 'Mr','Miss' for the IN statement to work. What statement do I have to put in the report query to get it to select any of the data rows where the title matches any 1 of the selected values?
I am currently trying to figure out how to change the background colour of a cell when that row happens to be a subtotal
I have included a screen shot of my report design below:
(The link to the image is http://diagnostic.iipuk.co.uk/images/RS_Questions.JPG should the image not be displayed)
When the cell that is circled is on a subtotal row (i.e. is the subtotal of either the first subtotal (which I have called RegionTot) or the second subtotal (which I have called QCTotal) I want the background colour to change to black). This is so the user cannot see the subtotal for that column on the screen.
I have tried using the following expression in the background colour property for that cell (without success!):
The error that comes up states that report item expressions can only refer to other report items within the same grouping scope or a containing grouping scope.
I have searched help and haven€™t managed to find anything!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

I am exporting SSRS report to Excel I am aware that excel doesn't show footer , It shows in print preview but my footer has text box which have text disclaimer more than 255 characters, the data getting truncated.
I have a remote report ... I need to call one of two stored procedures depending on which parameters were passed to the report. (Both stored procedures return the same fields.) Does SQL Reporting Services allow you to switch the dataset or stored procedure name dynamically? If so, where do I put the logic? Right now I have it working with one stored procedure. I'm thinking that I should just make one stored procedure that takes all parameters and calls one of the other two stored procedures. Do I have any options besides this?
i have a ssrs report in which i have creating rows with heading of months name from jan to dec i.e. jan|feb|mar|apr|....i have a parameter start date.i want when i enter start date from march supoose i enter date 03/22/2015 then display months from mar to dec.
I created a tabular model, and used it as a source for the power view. Is there any possibility to set a dynamic default value for the filter. My model has a field named 'CalendarMonth', by default - filter should take current month. I would like to know is there any possibility with out changing the data in the source.
I'd like to find where can I change the fonttype for annotations done in Control Flow. I mean, every time that I do that appears the one I chose by default TIA
I have SSRS report that has around 80+ columns. I have requirement where in dynamically hideshow columns in report based on user selection. I could able to do it by setting expression for "Visiblity" property and having report parameter thro' which columns to display can be choosen.
My problem is 2 points
1. fox example if columns 2 and 4 to be hidden, then there is an empty column between 1 and 3 and 5 columns. How to avoid this
2. When i export to PDF / Excel these spaces prevail.
I have to display three months name as column name in ssrs reports. These month column will be dynamically. So i have to display the column dynamically.
I have a requirement to display the count of project data by their status (On Hold, In Progress, Pre-concept and Closed) for the current FY and Last FY based on column 'Financial Year' and 'Project Status'.Â
Financial Year column has a value in the following format (FY2011-12, FY2012-13, FY2013-14,FY2014-15, FY2015-16,FY2019-20 ,FY2020-21,FY2021-22)  I need to set the financial year value dynamically in above format for the last and current year (FY2013-14, FY2014-15) based on today's date and Financial Year is from July to Jun. For example,
When today's date is 28-06-2015 then it should set the current FY as FY2014-15 and Last Financial Year as FY2013-14When today's date is 28-06-2021 then it should set current FY as FY2020-21 and Last Financial Year as FY2019-20
I developed a SSRS report, the problem is i dont have data in DEV server. So i dont know how to adjust the column lengths in ssrs report. is there any property so that the column length can be adjusted dynamically based on the data length whenever data is available in production.
 I have a range bar chart Inside a table of row group and the chart is repeatedly generate according to category ,i want to increase chart height dynamically based on category.
suppose for if category =A THEN CHART HEIGHT=10CM category =B THEN CHART HEIGHT=7CM
