SSRS Removes Spaces And Line Breaks From Single Field Report
Jan 2, 2008
I am storing formatted data (including spaces and line breaks) in a single field in a table.
When I run a report on that field, the preview of the report is automatically removing all the extra spaces and line breaks, making the report unreadable.
When exporting the report to PDF or printing it, it shows the line breaks and spaces as expected.
Does anyone know how to make the report preview show the spaces and line breaks?

I have a field in a db table which is like a chat history.I need to update the field with a user's input (put into a multiline text box) and append that to the beginning of the field.The problem is that I want to maintain line breaks when I retrieve the field into a multiline textbox (aka textarea) and can't figure it out.I've searched around and have seen lots of solutions for converting line breaks into <br> tags, but those people are trying to output to a label.I'm using an update command in my SqlDataSource like this: UpdateCommand="UPDATE [account] SET [history] = @history + history WHERE [id] = 1"With a parameter declaration like this: <UpdateParameters> <asp:ControlParameter Name="history" ControlID="TextBox1" PropertyName="Text" /> </UpdateParameters>If I try to concatenate in a or CHR(10), the characters are literally inserted. Like this for example (this is the last variation I tried).... UpdateCommand="UPDATE [account] SET [history] = @history + CHR(10) + history WHERE [id] = 1"How do I store a CrLf programatically?

I have e-mails saved in a SQL database with all HTML formatting information.
To remove all HTML formatting I craeted a function on the RS report:
Public Shared Function removeHtmlChar(ss)
try
Dim l as integer
Dim i as integer
Dim ch as string
Dim x as integer
Dim t as string
t = ""
l=len(ss)
for i=1 to l
ch=mid(ss,i,1)
x=i
if(ch="<") then
x=i
do while(mid(ss,x,1)<>">")
x=x+1
loop
else
t=t & ch
end if
i=x
next
t = t.Replace("nbsp;"," ")
removeHtmlChar = t
catch
removeHtmlChar = ""
end try
End Function
When I look at the report on the screen the report is showed correct.
If I print or export the report it add a lot of line breaks in the e-mail text.
Why does it not print it as it looks at the screen?

I hope I'm posting this in the correct forum (forgive me if I'm not) since I'm not sure if this is an issue with inserting an item into a db or the processing of what I get out of it. I wrote a basic commenting system in which someone my post a comment about something written on the site. I wanted to keep it very simple, but I at least want the ability for a user to have newlines in their comment without having to hardcode a <br /> or something like that. Is there a way for me to detect a newline if someone, for example, is going to their next paragraph?
Let me know if you need a better explanation.
Thanks in advance!

I am fairly new to SQL Server. I work for an Internet sofware company building web sites for our customers.
I am trying to insert JavaScript ad tags into a text field in my db. It seems that when the calling web page is rendered the line breaks are removed from the js code and it does not function properly. I've doubled up all of the single quotes and the line breaks appear in the insert statement but do not make it to the front side of my web site.

How do I get data on my linked report based on my grouped subtotal and grand total from the main report. The subtotal and grand total are calculated columns.
I have a 3 columns in my matrix in the SSRS summary report. Actn_COAST, ActnCITY and NumbOfAccts. Â
The following is code for my summary report. The results are shown below.
SELECT Distinct ActnCITY, Count(ACCT) as NumbOfAccts,
CASE WHEN ActnCITY in ('NY', 'OH', IN, 'NJ', 'SC', 'NC') THEN 'EAST COAST'
WHEN ActnCITY IN ('CA'. 'NV', 'UT', 'WA', 'OR') THEN 'WEST COAST'
ELSE 'OTHER'
END AS Actn_COAST
FROM tbl1
where ACTNDATE between @STARTDT and @EndDT
Code for my detail report contains the following SQL
SELECT * FROM tbl1 where ACTNDATE between @STARTDT and @EndDT AND @ActnCITY = ActnCITY
I have linked my report based on the NumbOfAccts column. I am able to get data if I click any of the NumbOfAccts values related to the state I want. However when I am not sure how to make the subtotal and grand total work. I want when I click on the subtotal of either coast, I should be able to see records of that coast e.g., if I select 37 I should be able to see all the records in East Coast. If I click on the Grand Total, I only want data related to those 2 coasts.

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.

Hello,
I have a series of fixed width files, all with the same schema. I need to import the data into a SQL Server table. Each record in the flat file begins with 'D1'. The length of each record (string) is 380. There are cases where the record ends after position 193, and a new record appears in the current string beginning at position 194. So at position 194 'D' appears, and '1' appears at position 195.
In the flat file, I need to insert a line break after position 193 if position 194 = 'D' and if position 195 = '1'. I'm guessing I would do this with a Script Component Transformation. Once the file is edited, then I can bring the data into the table.
What might the script look like? If you have any suggestions, samples, or know of examples on the web you can point me to, please share.
Thank you for your help!

Is there something I can do in layout mode to cause line breaks to only occur when data changes? I am creating a list of students and their degrees, but some students have multiple degrees and some only have one. If I place the information in a table with a blank row for a break, it breaks after every degree, but without the break there are no breaks at all.
Here's what I want:
Student
degree
degree
Student
degree
Student
degree
degree
degree
But what I have is:
Student
degree
degree
Student
degree
Student
degree
degree
degree
Is there any way to fix this, perhaps with an expression of some kind?

Hello,
Since SQL 2005 Express doesn't appear to let you paste multiple lines of data into a cell -- a task as "basic" as the Commodore 64 -- I'm forced to enter the data for 2 records directly. I'm trying to insert line breaks, which SQL 2000 allowed you to do by simply pressing the Enter key. However, 2005 just moves you to another record. How do I do this extremely simple task?
Many thanks for a speedy reply!

I can't figure out how to get my line chart to break when there isn't a value. For example, I have a trend line over 4 time periods. The 3rd time period is missing a value. Instead of the line ending at the 2nd period and picking up again at the 4th time period, it's connecting the line 2nd to the 4th period. I'd like it to break and for there to be no line appearing in the 3rd period. I bet that's as clear as mud, but let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks!

Hi All,
I have a simple SSIS package that runs a query on the db and outputs a fixed width flat file. I have all my column widths defined and in the connection manager i can preview the output. Everything looks great. All the fields fall where they should and each record is on it's own line.
When i run the SSIS program and then go open my text file with a text editor the ouput is all on the same line. I have tried changing my file format from fixed width to ragging right and adding a row delimiter but that doesn't work either. I feel like i'm missing something small here. It could even be an issue w/ my text editor (although i've tried to open the text file in multiple editors). In the flat file connection manager I have my file defined to be 187 characters long, So figure every 187 characters it should output a new line (it should add the carraige return right?).
Has anyone encountered an issue like this?
Any help would be much appreciated.

We have a line graph which plots the actual data points (x,y), everything is working fine with this graph. Now we need to add a trend line to this existing graph after going thro. the articles we came to know that there is no direct option in SSRS to draw a trend line. So we need to calculate the trend values ourselves which we need to plot as atrend line. This trend line is similar to the trend line which comes in Excel chart, do anyone know how to calculate the trend values from the actual data points. We got through several formulas, but were not clear, have anyone tried out exactly the same, if so please help us out by providing an example to calculate the trend values.

Hi,
I am having trouble setting conditional page breaks to my reports.
i.e... I am having a report where I need to allow user the option to set page break between a group or not.
Based upon the option selected by the user, I need to add page break to the report. I tried with all possibilities inside Sort and Group dialog box, but could not figure out how to toggle the option at runtime.
Does anyone know how to implement page breaks on runtime? Help me plzzzz!! I really need this to be done€¦Thanx in advance for any help..

Hello -
Does anybody know of a way to force SSRS to render a report with no page breaks at all? And better yet, to render as such but export using breaks (I know, thats asking a lot but the first part seems to be a reasonable request)
I have 1 report that renders a lot of data with no page breaks and cannot find a SINGLE property difference from the reports that do break...
Thanks in advace,
Gary

I have records where there are multiple spaces between items of text. I would like to strip out all the excess spaces characters. To that end I have written to separate functions (both are listed below) neither of which I would imagine will be particularly efficient. The first uses an int table and the second a while loop. I am presently ignoring the leading and trailing space issue as this can easily be recitfied with LTRIM and RTRIM. However, I would be keen to know if there is a better way of achieving a similar result.
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.StripAdditionalSpaces (@Input varchar(1000))
RETURNS varchar(1000)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @Changed int, @Output varchar(1000)
SELECT @Output = ''
DECLARE @String TABLE ([Output] varchar(1000))
INSERT INTO @String ([Output]) VALUES (@Input)
SELECT @Output = @Output + SUBSTRING([Output], i1.Position, 1)
FROM @String
LEFT JOIN dbo.Ints i1
ON SUBSTRING([Output], i1.Position, 1) <> ' '
or ISNULL(SUBSTRING([Output], i1.Position - 1, 1), '') <> ' '
RETURN @Output
END
GO
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.StripAdditionalSpaces2 (@Input varchar(1000))
RETURNS varchar(1000)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @Output varchar(1000)
SELECT @Output = @Input
WHILE @Output LIKE '% %'
BEGIN
SELECT @Output = REPLACE(@Output, ' ' , ' ')
END
RETURN @Output
END
GO

Currently I'm working on a few SSRS reports which will be exported to CSV.
In some of the fields e.g. "Description" the data can contain carriage return and line feed characters (CR LF). SO when that happens the csv export breaks the line and rest of the data from that fields goes into the net line. This creates a few undesirable line breaks.
I can always replace these characters from that fields.
Is there a way I keep those characters in the field and still my csv export come up fine.

The name field in our database stores the name in the below format:
Shields~Joseph A
Simmons~Russell G
Resig~Benjamin R
Lindsey Jr.~Harold H
Jordan~Adante D
Kerr~Luke D
Adkins~Guillermo B
Conrad~Brian P
I am trying to separate the last name and first name into 2 fields. I do not want the middle initial or Jr. in the field. I am using the statement below but i am running into an issue with names that have Jr. on them because there is an extra space in the name.
SELECT SubString([Name],CHARINDEX('~',[Name])+1, (CHARINDEX(' ',[Name])-1) - (CHARINDEX('~', [Name])-1)) as FirstName,
Left(Name,CHARINDEX('~',Name)-1) as LastName
FROM Employee
WHERE StrtDate >'7/1/06' and StrtDate < '8/31/06' and Status = 'A' and BirthDate < GetDate() - 7665

I am trying to load a field in my DB and it is defined as varchar(11) but when I populate it, it still adds spaces at the end. When I try to use it in an If statement, it doesn't match and executes the else instead. The wierd part is it seems to make it 10 characters long and not 11 or the the actual length. I think I had originally set it up for char(10) then changed it afterward but I even deleted the field and reentered it as varchar(11).Thanks,Eric

When viewing reports in Report Manager, I can't keep a consistent view. Some reports are on several pages, requiring the move to the next page, and some just appear as one long report to scroll down through. I cannot find any difference in the reports to indicate what causes that. I had posted this question before, and thought I had found the answer (moving info out of the table header and putting it in a group header) that only worked on one occasion and I still have inconsistent reports. Does anyone have an idea why this is happening?
I don't have page breaks set on any groups in these reports, at least none that I am aware of. I have checked one against the other to see if I can find any difference, but nothing as yet.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have a database setup and the fields setup as nchar(200).
Now, when I update a row using the code below it inserts the text but then seems to fill the rest of the field with spaces. i.e. if the text is only 10 characters, mssql seems to put 190 characters on the end of it to make 200.
Is there any reason how I can stop this/1 // Create new command

I have implemented forms authentication via a custom security extension in RS2005 as described in a relevant sample. I am asked for credentials when accessing the Report Manager and the Report Builder, however I can no longer connect to the report server in SQL Server Management Studio (I get HTML code as the error message) and the Preview tab in the Report Designer now fails with User Not Authorized.
I can live with the first problem, but the Report Designer needs to work. When I debug the extension, I can see that LogonUser method is being passed empty strings. This makes sense, since the Report Designer has not asked me for the credentials. Do I need to modify any the of the Designer configs to have it pop up the username/password window (similar to Report Builder) or is the only solution to use Windows Authentication on development machines and Forms Authentication in production?

I have a report with 5-6 tables showing different summary information. These are set up to all go one after another and there are no page breaks. The only instance I would like a page break is if a table content is getting split cross pages. Is there a way for me to specify that a table will be on a new page if it is broken accross multiple pages?
(This is due to Row growth, not column growth)
(KeepTogether is set to true)
Any help is greatly appreciated.
