Is there a property or a format type that I can use on a field to enter an excel formula and have it actually be a formula once it is saved to excel out of reporting services.
This is a 'what if' report. That the users want to fiddle with after it is generated.
I have item number, cost, sell price, and discount from the database. I calculate the gross profit and the percent from those fields. They want to take this report, save it to excel and then have the gross profit change when they enter a new discount amount.
I have tried to just enter the fields like they would look in excel but the report just shows A3 - A2. If I use the = before it will not run and says A3 is not defined. I have tried quotes, parenthesis, square brackets any thing that looked remotely possible in properties menu to have the values save as a formula.
I don't think it is possible but would like a second opinion.
we are running 2014 enterprise. A couple of column headings (even with smaller font) are a little tall, as much as 6 "lines". All headings in the respective matrices are aligned vertically as "bottom". When I save the report to excel, these taller headings get chopped off visually in their excel cell. The cell contains the entire heading. It appears that the second "line" of the heading is the one that is most visible in excel.
How do I get these to be saved so user will see entire heading when opening excel doc? In the first matrix there is a text box directly above the matrix and only one row of column headings. In the second there is a higher column group heading containing month name above the problem headings.
In the third column I'm trying to stated if the dates are different but when i change the first column to show just the date and not the time it still says they are different. How can i round or change the first column to just reflect the date and not the time so i can compare it to the second column.
I have a data list that will grow over time. The values are listed vertically in a column; most recent value at the bottom. I am trying to figure out how to setup a formula to figure out the standard deviation on the most recent 30 values automatically. For instance if the column contains 30 values and I add the 31st value, I'd like to have to have the standard deviation displayed in a cell and automatically shift from calculating on values 1-30 to values 2-31. Is this possible?
I need to populate tables in my MS SQL 2000 DB with content from an excel file. I am not sure how this is done or how to format the excel file. If someone could help me with this it would be much appreciated!Thanks!
I have a customer who is running a script that generates a custom report. IT is not populating as it should and is returning zeros for everything.
I have tested the the script in the office and it is populating as intended. I have run a debug on the script and it is executing the correct SQL commands. The debug results for the customer and for the one tested in the office are identical. For some reason, the script is not writing to file but is looking at the correct data. I suspect that it is an environment issue most likely on the SQL level.
Could this be an issue with character set? How can I check their character set and language preferences? I understand they are set during installation.
They are using the same collation as us.
What else can I check as I am running low on ideas.
I advised the client to create a new DB and restore over the top. The script was then tested and it was found to be working fine. As it was given an inappropriate name (ie test), I advised to create a new DB with a production name and restore over the top again. We have since returned back to where we started as the report is generating only zeros.
Hi. I have a report which has several datasources which require a table to be populated before they read from it. i.e. The first thing that needs to happen whenever the report is run, is a call to a stored procedure which populates the table the report datasources are based off of. The SP takes several minutes to complete and MUST complete before any of the datasources fetch their data.
How can this be achieved?
I can not find anything in the Visual Studio Report Designer which allows to me to instruct Datasource B to not execute before Datasource A has completed (or any other way to call a data population SP, before the data reader SP's execute).
I populed my data base. But before I populate I created some reports beased on this DB. Now after I populating I can execute query and see results in Management studio or query designer. But When I change it the report to preview mode I can not see it. Does anyone know why this is?
In SQL server Reporting service we need to export excel formula for summing column values. scenario : After generating report we are exporting report to excel file using report viewer.when user will modify a column value we need to calculate(update) automatically sum of the column values.Basically we are setting excel formula.
I have a very simple condition in the new field but it kept prompting me the error message when I run the report in Report Builder. For example : I have 1 field called City inside Entity Name Location, in the new field I want to set something very simple. If the City is "California" then "Yes" else "No"
But when I created this new field under Report Builder, and use the condition below : IF(City = "California","Yes",No")
And then I put this City field into column inside Matrix, but when I run the report it keeps prompting me this error message :
A grouping expression must be either a scalar field or an entity. ---------------------------- Semantic query execution failed. ---------------------------- Query execution failed for data set 'dataSet'. ---------------------------- An error has occurred during report processing.
Trying to get a formula for alphabetizing a prompt or parameter in the builder. The formula that the builder is giving me is Contact AM = Parameter: Contact AM but when you run the report and click on the parameter the names in the drop down box are all out of order. Trying to get the drop down box alphabetized. Does anyone have any suggestions?
When saving a report in Report Builder the default users folder is displayed when save is first clicked. However the user can navigate to any folder from the root on down. Is there anyway to only allow the user to access their "My Report" folder and not navigate to other folders?
Users are currently placed in a Windows Group. The windoes group is given System User and My Reports roles.
I have 1 questions. Im currently using Dynamics 4.0 and its report builder. I need some calculations for a certain report. I need the invoice amount subtracted by the VAT. Now i suppose i need to make a formula fot that right?
When i add a field named : 'Total Invoice Amount' and start editing that formula adding a - and then try to add the VAT field I get nothing. I can see the VAT field in the left side of the window, but when i double click it, Nothing is happening (added to the formula)
Maybe this isnt the correct way but the help files didnt help me much on this topic.
My 2nd question is the following.
I want to make a report of the suppliers invoices. When i select the Suppliers entity i get a certain amount of tables and fields. If i want to retrieve information from a table that isnt in the current view is there any way to retrieve it? Perhaps by some SQL commands?
Where would I insert such a command? In the formula field of a field? Is it even possible in the Report Builder.
I've built a fairly straight forward report in RS that looks normal in preview mode and in PDF format with out any issues.But when I export it to Excel report header is not appearing in each page.Any ideas as to why this is occurring?thanks in advance,Ramesh KS
I've got a formula written in Crystal Reports that I'm trying to re-do in SSRS 2005. I've just been using Crystal Reports for so long, I've got a mental road-block today.
Here is the formula in Crystal Reports: IF {V_VIEW.FIELD1} IN ["AAA", "BBB", "CCC", "DDD", "EEE", "FFF"] THEN ({V_VIEW.FIELD2}&"*") ELSE ({V_VIEW.FIELD2})
(It concatonates an asterisk to the end of FIELD2 if FIELD1 contains on of the values in the list.)
In SSRS I'd like to cause an entire row to be bold if FIELD1 contains one of the values in the list.
So in SSRS I'm putting an expression into the FontWeight properties of the TableRow and trying for something (which doesn't work yet) like: =iif (Fields!FIELD1.Value IN ("AAA", "BBB", "CCC", "DDD", "EEE", "FFF"), "BOLD", "NORMAL")
(SSRS doesn't like the "IN" in the above statement.)
Can anyone offer a suggestion on how to write this for SSRS?
Thanks! -ErikR

Ok. I found a workable solution. Does anyone have a better suggestion than the following? The below works but it seems it could be done more simply... Any suggestions?
Is there anyway to send excel file from ssis using send mail task without saving the excel file locally. I need to automate the process which involves loading the excel file from the database and send it to some people.
I want to save the Excel Export underneath an intranet hyperlink ? What would be the best way to do that .Right now, i am trying the regular excel file path option and placing the http link in there. I am getting an error message on execution.
I want to have my report in SSRS run automatically (I believe with the subscription mode) so it generates a PDF file every night. The problem is when it saves the PDF file, it is named the same as the report name. I need a unique report name with each night. It can be part of the date or whatever. Does anyone know how to set this?
I used Report Builder to create a report then I saved it. The report does NOT appear in my Shared Reports folder in Report Manager. However, if I go back into Report Builder and hit "open" the report defintion is saved and I can open and run it in Report Builder.
We are running 2014 enterprise. Our users love to see related report sections saved in separate tabs of the same spreadsheet. Is there a way to control how ssrs will save a report to excel when it comes to tabs?
Are subreports a/the way (and only way) to do this?
By sections I mean they might have a grid, then another grid, then a graph then another graph and so on.
What property controls the tab name? What if they want to combine 2 or more sections into one tab?
Don't think this can be done, but a user request, so thought I should ask anyway...
I have report with 11 filters (yes, I know thats overkill, but we aren't using analysis services) and the user has asked, if he wants to run it with the same selection criteria every month, can he do that without having to re-select them all?
When I launch a report using the following url, and then make changes to the report and save it, Reportbuilder is creating another report with the same name but also including the .rdl within the name itself.. therfore I now have two reports now displayed within the report manager
Hi Report created in VS has some data in the page header, but when report is saved to pdf file that data disappears in page header. The data in page header that disappear are the ReportItems taken from detail line of a table in the report body. This problem started as a result of converting existing report from sql server/VS 2003 to qsl server/VS 2005. Before conversion, report saved to Adobe pdf file showed all data. What could be the problem? Thank you Appreciate your help
I'm trying to do something which I hope can be accomplished relatively simply.
I have a report similar to bank statements let's say. When run, it currently prints out each person's statement into one file, with page breaks sepearating each person's statement. What I need to do, is when the report is run, save each person's report into a seperate file for the purpose of emailing to them later.
I could easily modify my report to just output for one particular person, but I'm not sure if there's a way to "bulk render" all the reports and have them saved to sepearate files.
I should also add that I'm using an MS Access Data Project (ADP) as the front end to my app - connected to a SQL Server 2005 DB. I currently display the reports by embedding a web browser object into an Access form and rendering the report via HTML.
When I open the spreadsheet in Excel 2000, it works fine. When I try to print, it crashes Excel. In testing, I narrowed it down to the Header/Footer, because it also crashes when I go to Page Setup and click on the header/footer tab.
However, I can print the same spreasheet from Excel 2007.
Am I just dealing with a "you need to upgrade all your clients" situation, or is there a known issue with certian formatting that is passed out with reports that is not supported by older versions of Excel?
I am using Reporting Services 2005 SP2 to serve up the report that is exported to Excel.
I've created some reports in Reporting Services 2003 and would like to call them up from a .Net 2003 windows based application. I'm passing one parameter to the report and would like to be able to automatically call the Save As... command and provide a path and name to save the file. I wnat to render the report as a PDf file and save it in that format as well. I can generate the name of the file on the fly using the input parameter value.
What I need is a sample of how to instantiate a reporting services object in .Net 2003 and the commands to execute the Save As function after the report has been rendered.
I am generating a Report by using SSRS. I am making using use of SSRS Report Viewer control for displaying the report. Which has an option to export the generated report in PDF format. Instead of displaying the report in by using report viewer I want to generate it directly in PDF format whenever that report is selected from the list of reports. So is there is any way to generate the report directly in PDF format which prompt a pop up for opening or saving the PDF?
OK, I'm pretty sure that the answer to my questions is "no", but the boss is pushing, and I thought I'd double check.
I want the selection of one report parameter to decide what shows up for another report parameter. Specifically in my case it has to do with dates. I have narrowed the results down to monthly dates, meaning that the starting dates always start with mm/1/yyyy and the ending dates are always mm/31/yyyy (for a 31 day month).
The boss wants the ending dates to always be >= the month of the starting dates. So, if the user choose 1/1/2007 for starting, the minimum ending date would be 1/31/2007, etc.. Since the parameters are loaded at report initiation, and SSRS isn't really event driven, I didn't think this was possible. I just wanted to make sure before I tell the boss that it's not. Please advise.
