I have a report that contains a table. I would like the table to wrap to a second column on the report page to decrease the number of pages the report spans. Is there a way to tell the table to span to the second column before going onto the next page?
Thanks,

I have a pivot table that connects to our data warehouse via a PowerPivot connection. Â The data contains a bunch of comment fields that are each between 250 and 500 characters. Â I've set the columns in this pivot table to have the 'Wrap Text' set to true so that the user experience is better, and they can view these comment fields more clearly.
However, whenever I refresh the data, the text wrapping un-sets itself. Â Interestingly, the 'Wrap Text' setting is still enabled, but I have to go and click it, then click it again to actually wrap the text. Â This is very burdensome on the user, and degrading the experience.
Any way to make this text wrapping stick so that I don't have to re-set it every time I refresh the data?
So I have been trying to get mySQL query to work for a large database that I have. I have (lets say) two tables Table_One and Table_Two. Table_One has three columns: Type, Animal and TestID and Table_Two has 2 columns Test_Name and Test_ID. Example with values is below:
**TABLE_ONE**
Type Animal TestID
-----------------------------------------
Mammal Goat 1
Fish Cod 1
Bird Chicken 1
Reptile Snake 1
Bird Crow 2
Mammal Cow 2
Bird Ostrich 3
**Table_Two**
Test_name TestID
-------------------------
Test_1 1
Test_1 1
Test_1 1
Test_1 1
Test_2 2
Test_2 2
Test_3 3
In Table_One all types come under one column and the values of all Types (Mammal, Fish, Bird, Reptile) come under another column (Animals). Table_One and Two can be linked by Test_ID
I am trying to create a table such as shown below:
Test_Name Bird Reptile Mammal Fish
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Test_1 Chicken Snake Goat Cod
Test_2 Crow Cow
Test_3 Ostrich
This should be my final table. The approach I am currently using is to make multiple instances of Table_One and using joins to form this final table. So the column Bird, Reptile, Mammal and Fish all come from a different copy of Table_one.
For e.g
Select
Test_Name AS 'Test_Name',
Table_Bird.Animal AS 'Birds',
Table_Mammal.Animal AS 'Mammal',
Table_Reptile.Animal AS 'Reptile,
Table_Fish.Animal AS 'Fish'
From Table_One
[Code] .....
The problem with this query is it only works when all entries for Birds, Mammals, Reptiles and Fish have some value. If one field is empty as for Test_Two or Test_Three, it doesn't return that record. I used Or instead of And in the WHERE clause but that didn't work as well.
I am using Enterprise Manager to generate a script of the stored procedures on my database. Under File|Options, I selected Windows Text(ANSI). The file which is generated contains all stored procedures, but there are some procedures which are so long that they wrap to the next line.
When I then try to run this script from ISQL in a batch file, those procedures which wrap error out. Is there any way to generate the script in a more formatted manor, avoiding the wrapping?
In some text boxes within the table header, I want to force the text to wrap. This would be comparable to using Alt+Enter in Excel. For example, the text box may read like this...
Customer
Install Date
but I want it to look like this...
Customer
Install
Date
Thanks.
I'm expecting to revamp some stored procs so that their selects are executed on a dynamic string that always returns the same columns but varies the sources.
I'm concerned that the bread and butter of products like RS and SSIS is the ability to predict what columns, and what column types to expect from a query, but that introducing dynamic sql will complicate using them.
I'm motivated not to use temp tables or table vars if possible. I'm also somewhat motivated to learn of a solution that works equally well in 2000 and 2005.
I've tried wrapping dynamic calls in a select as shown below but to no avail...
After€¦
declare @sqlString nvarchar(4000)
set @sqlString = 'select * from [' + @dbName + '].[dbo].[activity]'
I€™ve already tried things like€¦.
select a.* from exec sp_executesql @sqlString a
and
select * from exec (@sqlString)
I am using FOR XML to generate the HTML and following is my query. I am using td { white-space:nowrap;} for the columns to used no wrap. But i want two columns which need to be wrapped. i have tried lots of options.
SET @tableHTML =
N'<H3><font size="4"> Board - Items </font></H3>' +
N'<table border="1" ><font size="1"> <head><style TYPE="text/css"> td { white-space:nowrap;} </style> ' +
N'<tr bgcolor=#4b6c9e><font size="2" color=white><th> ID</th>
<th> A</th>
<th> B </th>
[Code] ...
From the above code i want G and H columns to be wrapped.
I have a query batch "update" script that upgrades my users database from,say version 0 to version 1, or from version 1 to version 2. I would like toknow how I can wrap the entire script in a transaction, so that either thewhole thing succeeds or none of it does.For example:BEGIN TRANSACTION.......... Alter some tables.....GO.......... Alter a stored procedure.....GO.......... Create a new stored procedure.....GOCOMMIT TRANSACTIONorROLLBACK TRANSACTIONGO(how do I get to the "ROLLBACK TRANSACTION" if an error occurs in the updatescript?)

In my report, I have a Matrix control placed next to a table. It renders properly and displays data aligned in two controls in Visual Studio Preview. However, when I deploy to production, it wraps the matrix control below the table, in fact puts the entire matrix control underneath the table. Why such strange behavior and not in the Preview of the report but only in Production? Any ideas how to fix this?
In VS Env. Preview --> [Table][Matrix]
In Report Svr Prod --> [Table]

Hello I was very happy to have found the thread http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=491642&SiteID=1 that explained how to get the text to display Bottom-to-Top/Left-to-Right.
The solution was to setup a function that creates a bitmap the text to be displayed.
This works well and correctly displays the text image in HTML and PDF. (Excel, XML and CVS won't export backgroud images).
To extend the solution to wrap text it requires a few additional lines...
Code Snippet
Function LoadImage3(ByVal stText As String)
stText = stText.PadRight(10)
stText = stText.PadLeft(10)
Dim iMaxLength as Integer = 180
Dim iMaxWidth as Integer = 180
Dim f As Drawing.Font = New Drawing.Font("Arial",7, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Regular, System.Drawing.GraphicsUnit.Point)
Dim bmpImage As New Drawing.Bitmap(1, 1)
Dim MyGraphics As Drawing.Graphics = Drawing.Graphics.FromImage(bmpImage)
Dim imageSize As Drawing.SizeF = MyGraphics.MeasureString(stText, f)
Dim i As New System.Drawing.Bitmap(iMaxWidth, iMaxLength)
Dim g As Drawing.Graphics = Drawing.Graphics.FromImage(i)
Dim rectF1 As New Drawing.Rectangle(-(iMaxWidth/2),-(iMaxLength/2),iMaxWidth,iMaxLength )
g.FillRectangle(Drawing.Brushes.White, 0, 0, i.Width, i.Height)
g.TranslateTransform((iMaxWidth/2), (iMaxLength/2) )
g.RotateTransform(270.0F) 'flip the image 270 degrees
g.DrawString(stText, f,Drawing.Brushes.Black, rectF1)
g.DrawRectangle(New Drawing.Pen(Drawing.Color.White, 1), rectF1)
g.Flush()
Dim stream As IO.MemoryStream = New IO.MemoryStream
Dim bitmapBytes As Byte()
i.Save(stream, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg) 'Create bitmap
bitmapBytes = stream.ToArray
stream.Close()
i.Dispose()
Return bitmapBytes
End Function
Items highlighted in yellow reflect changes made to orignal solution.
Hope this helps!!
Hi All,
I developed a report with some values in textboxes. I want the output not to wrap around to the next line but to be truncated if it is more that the size of the textbox. Is there any setting that i can do b/c values are going to the second line when their size is more like printing name and last name will cause last name to go to the second line ?
Thank you in advance.
We had finished converting a lot of our reports from Crystal Reports to SSRS. Upon doing so, one report, the customer's invoice has comments in the report that contain (s) at then end of a word to indicate singular or plural. Crystal reports handled the wrap correctly and kept the word together including the (s), but in SSRS, the (s) is being wrapped to the next line, which doesn't look good at all.

Hi,
I have two tables
Table Source
{
category varchar(20),
LastUpdate datetime
}
Table Destination
{
SubjectId varchar(20),
SubjectDate datetime,
category varchar(20),
LastUpdate datetime
}
Please note that the number columns are different in each table.
I wanted to dump the data of Source table to Destination table. I meant to say that the rows of 2 columns in Source table to last 2 rows of Destination table.
And also my oreder of the columns in Destination table will vary. So i need to a way to dynamically insert the data in bulk. but i will know the column names for sure before inserting.
Is there anyway to bulk insert into these columns.
Your quick response will be appreciated

I have a business need to create a report by query data from a MS SQL 2008 database and display the result to the users on a web page. The report initially has 6 columns of data and 2 out of 6 have JSON data so the users request to have those 2 JSON columns parse into 15 additional columns (first JSON column has 8 key/value pairs and the second JSON column has 7 key/value pairs). Here what I have done so far:
I found a table value function (fnSplitJson2) from this link [URL]. Using this function I can parse a column of JSON data into a table. So when I use the function above against the first column (with JSON data) in my query (with CROSS APPLY) I got the right data back the but I got 8 additional rows of each of the row in my table. The reason for this side effect is because the function returned a table of 8 row (8 key/value pairs) for each json string data that it parsed.
1. First question: How do I modify my current query (see below) so that for each row in my table i got back one row with 19 columns.
SELECT A.ITEM1,A.ITEM2,A.ITEM3,A.ITEM4, B.*
FROM PRODUCT A
CROSS APPLY fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM5,NULL) B
If updated my query (see below)Â and call the function twice within the CROSS APPLY clause I got this error: "The multi-part identifier "A.ITEM6" could be be bound.
2. My second question: How to i get around this error?
SELECT A.ITEM1,A.ITEM2,A.ITEM3,A.ITEM4, B.*, C.*
FROM PRODUCT A
CROSS APPLY fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM5,NULL) B, Â fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM6,NULL) C

Here is My requirement, I'm not sure if this is possible. Creating table called master like col1, col2 col3, col4 , col5 ...Where Col1, col2 are updatable - this can be done easily
Col3, col4 are columns in another table but these can be just a read only ?? Is this possible ? this is possible with View but not friendly with share point CRUD...Col 5 is a computed column of col 2 and col5 ? if above step can be done then sure this can be done I guess.

I just created a new table with over 100 Columns and I need to populated just the first 2 columns.
The first columns to populate is an identify column that is the primary key. The second column is a foreign_key to an other column and I am trying to populate this columns with all the values from the foreign_key value. This is what I am trying to do.
column1 = ID
column2= P_CLIENT_D
SET IDENTITY_INSERT PIM1 ON
INSERT INTO PIM1 (P_CLIENT_ID)
SELECT
Client.ID
FROMP_Client
So I am trying to insert both an identity values and a value from an other table while leaving the other columns blank. How do I go about doing this.

Hello:
I am running into an issue with RS2k PDF export.
Case: Exporting Report to PDF/Printing/TIFF
Report: Contains 1 table with 19 Columns. 1 column is static, the other 18 are visible at the users descretion. Report when printed/exported to pdf spans 2 pages naturally, 16 on the first page, 3 on the second, and the column widths have been adjusted to provide a perfect page span .
User A elects to hide two of the columns, and show the rest. The report complies and the viewable version is perfect, the excel export is perfect.. the PDF export on the first page causes every fith column, starting with the last column that was hidden to be expanded to take up additional width. On the spanned page, it renders the first column on that page correctly, then there is a white space gap equal to the width of the hidden columns and then the rest of the cells show with the last column expanded to take up the same width that the original 2 columns were going to take up, plus its width.
We have tried several different settings to see if it helps this issue or makes it worse. So far cangrow/canshrink/keep together have made no impact. It is not possible to increase the page size due to limited page size selection availablility for the client. There are far too many combinations of what the user can elect to show or hide to put together different tables to show and hide on the same report to remove this effect.
Any help or suggestion on this issue would be appreciated

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have two tables:
Orders, with OrderID as primary key, a code for the client, and a code for the place of delivery/receipant.
Both the client and place of delivery should be linked to the table:
Relations, where each relation has it's own PrimaryID which is a auto-numbered ID. Now I want to substract my orders, with both the clientcode, and the place of delivery code linked to the relations table, so that for both the name and adress is shown.
I can link one of them by:
InnerJoin On Orders.ClientID = Relations.ClientID, but it's not possible to also link to the ReceipantsID. Is there a way to solve this?
Say you have a fact table with a few columns that all reference the same key column in a dimension table, you want to write a view to return the information for those keys?

I'm using very small data at the moment, and the query plan and statistics don't really say which way.
What is the easiest way to determine the number of columns in a table (in a particular database)? Also is there any way to get the column id associated with each column (is there such thing)??
NOTE, this needs to be done with only knowing the name of the table and database and nothing else.
All help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I need to find out the number of columns per table for ALL of my tables in

Hi,
I have a table (that i get as a result of pivots and joins in a stored procedure) that has two columns with the same name, (each time the stored procedure is called, different columns will be in this situation). For every row, only one of these columns has a value and the other has NULL.
Does anyone know how to do prevent this situation during the JOIN that creates this table? OR of a way to merge these columns once they are there ?
Thanks !!

HI,
I have a procedure when i need to get the columns of a table and store them in a temp table and process further.
For this i am planning to use sys.columns table as follows:
SELECT OBJECT_name(c.object_id) TableName, c.name ColumnName
FROM sys.columns AS c
Can I use this table in a procedure? Do I need to have any permissions to use this table?
If so, is there any alternative to get the columns of a table so that I wont use sys.columns table.
Please advice on this
Thanks in advance
