SSRS Newbie - How To Display Rich Text In A Report
Aug 21, 2007
Hi
(Note when I say "rich" text I don't specifically mean rich text, I'm refering to text with user defined bold, italic, numbered lists, colors, fonts, etc.)
We have a (new) system where we want a user to enter "rich" text notes into a single column using an editor embedded in our application (much like the editor I'm using for this forum) and have the notes displayed correctly in SSRS reports. We were thinking of storing the notes as HTML but I've just tried it and the report displays the whole HTML string, rather than marking up the text.
We are open to marking up the text using any mechanism, rich text, HTML, Word, etc. just as long as we can see it in the reports.
We also need to consider viewing the same notes via Crystal reports.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Michael

Hi guys,
I have reports in text files, with the formatting and alignments all intact, and need not to be changed anymore. But then, if I were to display these reports using IE, the best choice I have would be using SSRS. But then, is there such a feature in SSRS where I can do that? Just to display these reports as they are?
Please help
Thanks!

This question has been asked a lot, without a definitive answer. Can you tell me if SQL Server 2008 will support rich text. I believe the November CTP does not have this functionality. It is a pretty important decision regarding my organization's adoption of the new product.
Thank you
Jason

I currently have a simple project where we need to store paragraphs for letters that will be automatically printed and then mailed to cusomters. These letters will be created based on certain criteria.
I have the SQL database set up with two fields...the paragraphCode (which is the key) and then the paragraph. These paragraphs were originally created in Word and some of these paragraphs contain bulleting and other rich text features. I have built a small utility in ASP (using VB .Net) for our intranet to view / insert / edit these paragraphs. If a user is copying and pasting the paragraph from a Word document, what should this paragraph field's datatype be declare as? It is currently NVARCHAR(MAX).
Thanks for the information

Hey there - I have a textbox (C# 1.1 OR 2.0) that I want to take it's contents and post to a datatype of some sort in SQL2k5 and have it preserve the breaks (return keystrokes) so when the data is presented, it can hold a paragraph form. Is this possible?something like this: <asp:TextBox id="txtContent" runat="server" TextMode="MultiLine" Rows="10"></asp:TextBox>Right now, I'm using nvarchar(4000) as the datatype but if I were to type, say 3 paragraphs, the data returned in the datagrid I bind that data to shows only one long string of data. For the time being, I have been puttting HTML formatting tags in the content I'm posting to the DB, but ultimately don't want to have to do that. I don't want to have to use a Text Editor (like FTB or FCKeditor) if necessary because they seem very much involved for the simple need I have which is to preserve paragraph formatting.So, is there another datatype in SQL2k5 that I should be using? Or are there simple code snippets I can utilize that will recognize a carriage return as a </p><p> tag?I'm trying to migrate to 2.0 as much as possible, so any C# code would be greatly appreciated in 2.0!Thanks for your help!iSheahan

I have a field where the data is stored with RTF. I know SQL Reporting Services cannot display it properly. Is there way to remove the RTF formatting codes through a function to just pull out the text and displya it in the text box?

Hi,
I want to execute some queries inside a stored procedure, get the data and create from them some strings with formatted parts (bold, italic, underline, different color fonts) and save them in a text field. These strings are going to be displayed in some DBRichText control in a database application built with Delphi. Is there an easy way to create these complex rtf formats in MSSQL
or some ideas regarding this problem?
Best Regards,
Manolis Perrakis

I have a requirement to display a disclaimer message before going to the content of a particular report. The workflow would be:
go to report folder e.g. Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx?ItemPath=%2fMyFolder%2fReports&ViewMode=ListClick on Report xDisplay DisclaimerPress 'ok' on disclaimerContinue to report
This is SSRS 2012 native.
I had contemplated injecting JavaScript into the report, but this appears virtually impossible to do i a simple manner.

Hi All,
I have a report parameter which i multivalue. I want to display the selected value in a text box. I have written the following code :
=Switch(Parameters!ServiceAttribute.Count = 1,Parameters!ServiceAttribute.Value(0),
Parameters!ServiceAttribute.Count = 2,(Parameters!ServiceAttribute.Value(0) & ", " & Parameters!ServiceAttribute.Value(1)))
Which suggests that if only one of the two multivalue parameter id is selected display the same (Parameters!ServiceAttribute.Value(0)).
This works fine when i select both the attributes but throws an exception "Index was outside the bounds of the array" when i select only one of the parameters. Can anyone help me with that?
Also i want this report parameter to allow null i.e. if a user does not select anything he should still be able to view the report.
In case of regular dropdowns i have added a <Null> value to the existing values and set the default to null. But in case of multi-value, it does not give an option of adding <Null>

I am displaying the red line in the beginning of the current week column in the matrix table. But for few resources the red line is missing. For Example in below screenshot, refer the 'Adrian Larkin' resource. Here is the SSRS report border expression which is comparing the [TimeByDay] with the current Week First Monday Date to display the red bar -
=IIf(Fields!TimeByDay.Value = DATEADD("d", -(WeekDay(Today(),2))+1, Today()), "Red", "Black")"
Here is the dataset result set. If you refer the column [TimeByDay], it has no record for the date 11/05/2015 for the Adrian resource as he has no assignment for the date 11-05-2015.display the red missing line red bar using the expression or any other solution.

Hi,
Can aybody help me in the below requirement.
I have a report like below:
<<Name Of Compnay>>
<<Name Of Report>>
<<Todays Date>>
<<ReportPeriod>> From Date - To date
The above is header and then the data in the report should come as the <<Data>> and # to be used as separator for columns.
163 #GXXX #ABC Comp Ltd. #DTDC#PPPP ABC XYZ ETC #111
*End Of Report*
How can I get this exported as it is to the .txt file?
Currently I have acheived this with SSIS, where I have kept the header template, footer template in my folder. The SSIS generates the .txt file and then I use the execute process transformation to merge the files and data. I am getting the exact o/p as I want. But in this I am intorducing lot of IO in the package by every time creating a new header for the data to be replaced as todays date and the period to be replaced by the user selected Report Period.
How can this be achived using SSRS? Is any custome code required?
Thanks in advacne for your help.
Regards,
Virendra

I found this thread which allows me to write vertical from the bottom up but I want to flip the text 180 degrees and write it upside down:
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=559933&SiteID=1
I tried modifying it and playing around with the TranslateTranform function but I'm really confused on how it works. I can get the first letter in my text to be upside down but the rest is not showing up. It's like it's being cut off or something. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thank you in advanced.

I have database fields that contain RTF text. If I use the default Textbox in SSRS 2008 Report Designer, I get all the RTF formating characters, which makes for a VERY ugly report.Is there another control I can place on my report that will take the RTF formated text and display it properly? I can do this in Crystal Reports, but I'm converting to SSRS 2008 so I need to be able to handle RTF formated text.

I am creating a simple SSRS table report through Report Builder. My dataset is looking for the stored procedure . When I execute the Stored procedure through SSMS I get resutset for certain parameters. I execute the dataset (Store procedure) through query designer in dataset properties and I get results back. But when I try to run the report and see the preview, I do not get any results displayed. I been looking on the same issue form last 3-4 days and have not found any clue.
Following is the stored procedure I am using. Also I am passing multivalued parameter through report as well, and I am using spilt function to seperate the libraryid I am reading from parameter values. This works fine. I have similar kind of four other reports and with different stored procedure which exactly follow the same method , like multivalue parameters and other criteria are also very similar. All other reports works just fine.. This perticular report has issue for displying results, following is the stored procedure I am using
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
[code]....

Hi,
I'm using the SSRS report designer within VS2005 and I have a .rdl report that I have placed a background form as an image background. I then have text placed on top of the form, the problem is that everything is aligned within the report designer layout view but when I go to view the report in report preview the text no longer remains vertically aligned within the background form.
This is very frustrating, and almost makes it impossible to marry up a form with report data. Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry if this thread has been repeated but I cannot find a reference to my problem. I have read that apostrophes can be qualified with double quotes but that doesnt solve my problem. I am using SQL 2000 on a Windows 2000 Server trying to set up a job to email the results of a query. I have had no trouble getting it to run as scheduled but cannot seem to get the results out when I add a clause that filters out a text column.
This is the query I am trying to run from a step within a job inside our SQL Agent:
exec master.dbo.xp_sendmail
@recipients = 'user@mycompany.com',
@subject = 'Overnight Safedata Statistics',
@query =' SELECT u.username as BackUpSet , r.requestresultstatus as Status, r.requesttype
from users u ,requests r where u.userid = r.userid
AND requestdate between getdate()-1 and getdate()
AND requestresultstatus <> 'Success' ',
@message = 'Results over the last 24 Hours',
@attach_results = FALSE,
@dbuse = 'BackupServer'
I can successfully run the @query string in query analyzer and it worked fine from SQL mail until I added the last clause to the step (AND requestresultstatus <> 'Success' ). I do not know how to get the 'Success' treated as text.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
JT
P.S. I am a network guy trying to give our SQL developers a break.

How do I display multiple parameter values on report page from a multi-value report parameter. For example, I have a report parameter where users can select multiple attendance codes and I want them displayed at the top of the report after it's run.
Currently, only the first value is showing on the report.
Thanks.

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?

HI All. I'm trying to tweak the Transfer Logins task to exclude Windows Logins that are local to the Server (e.g. servernameusername) which obviously can't be transferred off the server. Annoying that we have a couple of local Logins on this system instead of all Domain Groups, but we're stuck with them due to firewall issues, and a policy excluding SQL Logins.
My idea is to create a text file as part of my Package that lists Logins to be Excluded From the Transfer - I think I then need to create a New File Connection to the Text File as a Connection Manager, then somehow get that data into a Variable, and then use an Expression to populate the 'LoginsList' Collection from syslogins where loginame not equal to logins in my textfilevariable?
Or maybe I'm over complicating this, and there's an easier solution? Lots of info in Books Online about Expressions and Variables, but having trouble finding examples that I can use. As a DBA, this is my first foray into SSIS, and as you can possibly tell, I'm floundering....

Hi All,
I have report which correctly outputs the PDF Export as well as when it displays it in the Reporting Services it is correct.
When it is deployed at the report server(IE) the view seems to differ a bit. As the report is a combination of Table adjacent to a matrix the IE view makes the Matrix move in the next line. Any thoughts on how can i control the display properties at the IE level only as the other views seems to be working fine.
Regards,
Vikram
