I currently have a text box that say "Company", I have the a visibility expression set on that text box as follows:
=iif(Sum(Fields!ID.Value,"Footnote") <> 0, False, True)
Basically if a number is greater than 0 show it, if not don't
I want to modify it to say always show Company, if its greater than 0 show Company *
Hi All,
I have the following requirement:
I have an output like this:
Country
State
Measure
USA
WA
1000
OR
2000
Canada
BC
300
India
TN
200
AP
400
I am using a matrix where country and state are on rows.
I want to set the visibility of the textbox containing the value of the state column based on the number of states a country has.
I would like the output to be like this: If the country has only one state, then the state name should be blank.
Country
State
Measure
USA
WA
1000
OR
2000
Canada
300
India
TN
200
AP
400
Something like iif(count(state) for a country)==1,false,true)
Please let me know how to achieve this in SSRS.
Thanks in advance

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'm trying to show a column only if a certain parameter contains a certain string of characters. So far I've got it working if the parameter is equal to the string of characters by doing
=IIF (Parameters!Param1.Value = "String1", False, True)
but I would like it to work if the Param1.Value contains "String1" ... I tried
=IIF (Parameters!Param1.Value like "%String1%", False, True)
but it doesn't work. Any suggestions?
TIA
I have the following Visibility expression set on a SQL 2000 RS report set on the hidden value:
=iif(Parameters!state.Value= "Institutional Agency",true, false)
Problem is that when I choose Insititutional Agency from the drop down list it evaluates the expression and shows the textbox, when another state is choosen it still shows the textbox and I dont want it to? I have ran a test to show the expression (Parameters!state.Value) in a text box, and its showing the right values each time i run the report?
I have a report that gets exported to Excel. In the report there is an expression in the visibility field on one of the detail lines to hide it if it meets certain criteria. When run directly and exported to PDF, it displays correctly (hiding the lines as requested). When exporting to Excel, the lines are not hidden.
Can anyone help on this?
Thank you.
Hi team,
I'm working on Reporting service 2005. When I give an expression for visibility of a table in a report based on a parameter, the contents are coming in a single page and it is not based on the interactive size of the report. I want the data to be coming on different pages based on the interactive size of the page. If the visibility is set directly it works. Could you please help me to solve this issue?
Thanks in advance,

Hi all,
I have a problem with a report I have created. It has around 52 columns and each column is shown or hidden based on a boolean parameter. Simple huh? I though so.
Each column has an expression similar to =IIF(Parameters!showfirstname.Value,False,True) for the Hidden field. This is not the hidden field for the 'cell' or 'header' but for the entire column.
The problem is, the report is correctly displayed as a pdf, tiff, excel file (possibly others), but all columns with an expression as the hidden value are not displayed in the xml or csv output regardless of the parameter value. This also applies if the expression is =IIF(True,False,True) or =IIF(1=1,False,True).
As soon as I change this field back to a simple 'True' or 'False' it displays correctly. I've tried playing around with setting the output options to values other than the default Auto setting to no avail.
There are numerous comments about this on newsgroups online going back to the first release of reporting services but none of them have solutions.
Regards
John Burns
I would like to suppress the entire row in tablix if no data despite multiple expresions used in a text box.
If data the it will show per the DB data else it should not show anythig or leave it as blank row
The issue is where I have appended ";" and "'" in the expressions but still comes in the report output because it is appended even if no data.
I have a stacked column with 2 series("phones", "no phones") on the categories, What I am trying to do is to show only one of the series in each category,I used the visibility option in the series properties, and chose show or hide based on an expression using the expression below if(Fields!PENETRATIONSERIES. Value="no phone",FALSE,TRUE) i get no graph , But when I switch the true and false value, the graph show with the two series there.

Product version : SQL Reporting Service 2005 with SQL SP2
It's a report with 3 sub-reports in it, i want to display only one of the 3 sub-reports at a time depending on 1 or 2 parameters received by the parent report. These parameters are verified by an expression into the visibility tab of each sub-report. The two parameters are 2 lists with possibles values between 1 and 2 (not query based). I have verified these values and they are correctly received by report depending on the selection of each list.
Ex.: SubReport1.expression = IIf(Parameters!Regroupement.Value = 1, True, False)
SubReport2.expression =IIf(Parameters!Regroupement.Value = 2 AND Parameters!SautPage.Value = 1, True, False)
SubReport3.expression =IIf(Parameters!Regroupement.Value = 2 AND Parameters!SautPage.Value = 2, True, False)
So here are the posibilities :
when Regroupement.Value = 1 --> SubReport1 will be shown
when Regroupement.Value = 2 AND SautPage.Value = 1 --> SubReport2 will be shown
when Regroupement.Value = 2 AND SautPage.Value = 2 --> SubReport3 will be shown
Now why that doesn't work ? I always see the same report and it's not the right one displayed even i change the selection of my 2 lists for the parameters value.
Hi all,
I have a report with 3 matrix only one matrix is displayed at a time depending on a parameter value, I use an expression in the visibility Property, since then, when I export to Excel the Toggle buttons have disappeared.
How can I keep the Toggles in the Excel file ?
does anyone know why my initial visibility expression (=Level()>1) stays in effect after generating my report? The idea was to display only a couple of levels in the hierarchy at first, so that the user could more easily decide what he wants to expand. But expand doesnt do anything after initial rendering.
The only way I could get this kind of report to work (show hierarchy and expand/collapse) was to live with initial visibility = "visible", but unfortunately, that setting shows all levels right away, not a very user friendly thing.
I am running Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.3042.00 (Intel X86) Feb 9 2007 22:47:07 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Developer Edition on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 2)
So if my Parameter value is...
MCCL, MCMA, MCPL, MCPR, MCRE, MCSE, MCSN, MCVA, MCCL, MCEP, MCMA, MCREÂ out of 43 possible choices,
What is the expression syntax to hide my tablix column based on my parameter value?
=iif(instr(Join(Parameters!ColumnVisibility.Value,","),"MCCL","MCMA","MCPL"...)>0,false,true)
Just not sure of the syntax...or do I have to qualify each one???
= IIf(Parameter!PF1.Value = "MCCL" OR Parameter!PF1.Value = "MCMA"..., TRUE, FALSE)
Hi all,
Is there any way in Reporting Services (2005) to set the Top and Left properties of the TextBox control with an expression? What I would like to do is use two integer report parameters, and alter these properties based on the parameters.
Any help very much appreciated.

I'm calculating the format string for currency values based upon what's selected as a report currency parameter value. Just to mention, it's a call to a .net dll. Because this call is in every textbox in the details section of the report,I believe it's getting called for every textbox that is displayed on the report - but I really don't need to calculate it at this level. The format string will only be one way per report execution.
Is it possible to only call this function once, stuff the format expression in a textbox (or some method that's similar) and then reference that ReportItems!textbox3.Value for the format string of other textboxes? I threw the calculation in a textbox in the report header and also body, but I get an issue either way:
Report item expressions can only refer to other report items within the same grouping scope or a containing grouping scope
I understand that it doesn't seem possible, but can anyone help me think out of the box? I see that a database call and another dataset holding the FormatString might work... I'll try this out, but in the meantime, is there a solution to not do this?
In SQL Reporting Services - How can you configure a textbox (in a table row/cell) to display (and more importantly print to hard copy) an underline area that is "appended" to the end of variable length text. The objective is to be able to print out a form with an identified area for handwritten text entry. I need the underlined area for the textbox to be "right aligned". For example,
Customer Satisfaction
Were you satisfied with the service(s) received? _________________________________________
How long did the service call take? ____________________________________________________
Would you recommend us to your friends? _____________________________________________
Is this possible? How can I do this?
Thx!

Hi all,
I've recently started using reporting services after about a 2 year break and have been refreshing my knowledge. I've got a very simple report linked into MS CRM, the report is designed to display cases that are overdue, displaying green colums for cases less that 2 hours old, orange for 2 - 4 hours and red for over 4 hours.
In the backgroundColor field for the details colums I have this code-
Code Snippet
=iif(Fields!Hours_Neglected.Value < 2, "Green", iif(Fields!Hours_Neglected.Value > 4, "Red", "Goldenrod"))
this works fine in the preview window in VS2005 but when I try to deploy I get this error:-
"Warning 1 [rsRuntimeErrorInExpression] The BackgroundColor expression for the textbox €˜ticketnumber€™ contains an error: Input string was not in a correct format. G:AppsVisual Studio 2005ProjectsCRM ReportsCRM ReportsNo Responce.rdl 0 0"
Can anyone shed any light on what this problem is as I'm struggling to find anything online......
Thanks in advance
Hi!
On a Reporting Services 2005 report, I have a table with a single group row and a single detail row (and about 5 columns). The details are set up to toggle visibility based on a textbox in the group header called "txt_Order_Number". The order line item details are set with their initial visibility set as hidden. So, when you click on the Plus sign next to the Order Number, the detail rows display below.
However, what I'd like to do is change the background color of the toggled group header row when it is toggled and the details are displayed. Here's what's going on . . .
The row with the Order header information has every textbox set in bold. That's good. It makes a subtle distinction between the order detail rows and the order header row, so when you're looking at the dollar amounts on each line item and trying to add them up in your head to see whether they correctly add up to the dollar amount in the order header row, you can at least more easily see the total amount. However, it makes the whole overall report look funny because all of the order header information is in bold. What I really want to do is change the background color of the order header row to light gray or some other subtle color and change the font to Bold when the details are toggled to visible in order to distinguish that row as the header row.
In order to do this, I think I somehow need to get to a certain element of the Reporting Services object model called "Textbox.ToggleState". If I can get to that piece of the puzzle in an expression or even in code within the report, that should tell me the state of the textbox's toggle switch and I should be able to use that information to conditionally set the color of the textbox.(or every textbox in the row probably.) Here's all I could find out about this on TechNet
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.reportingservices.reportrendering.textbox.togglestate.aspx
I just can't figure out how to get to that piece of information in a Reporting Services expression or in the report's code block.
Any suggestions? I'd appreciate a response even if it's "You can't do that." Actually, the best response someone might be able to provide might be a link to a sample showing how to get to any of the textbox properties like that.
Thanks!

Hello,
I'm using SSRS 2005
I'm trying to write an expression for the "Hidden" property of a column in a table. The column is only populated with data if the group on my table is open. If the group is collapsed, then the column is empty. I'd like to make the column hidden if the group is collapsed. So I'm thinking it would be something like this:
=Iif(Table_1_Group.Hidden = "True", "True", "False")
But I can't find anyone who has written this anywhere.
I'm basically trying to make this report do the same thing a matrix does, but the matrix doesn't let me label the columns. I put textboxes above the matrix in line with the columns, but when I deploy the report to ReportManager, the textboxes get thrown all over the place and don't line up with the columns anymore.
So I guess if you can't answer the first question, an alternate question I have is how are you supposed to label the columns (row groups) in your matrix? They don't have headers, if I try to line textboxes up with them they get all messed up during deployment. They have that textbox up there in the top left corner that runs across the top of all of the row group columns, but if I put labels separated spaces in that textbox, the spaces get removed in rendering so the text is pushed all to the left and doesn't line up anymore.
Thanks,
Andy
I want to add up the values in a couple of text boxes in another textbox. How do I refer to the textboxes?
fields!textbox1.value doesn't work..what does?
Hi!
I dont know if i will explain this correctly, but my problem is with reporting service.
I'm supposed to Sum value in one textbox and than that sum use it in sum in other textbox.
Something like this:
Sum(Fields!Abc.Value/(Fields!dfg.Value+Sum(Fields!abc.Value)),"matrix1_RowGroup1")*100
I get error msg 'The Value expression for the textbox 'textbox49' contains an aggregate function (or RunningValue or RowNumber functions) in the argument to another aggregate function (or RunningValue). Aggregate functions cannot be nested inside other aggregate functions.'
Something like this wont work either Sum(Fields!abc.Value/ReportItems("textbox56").Value)*100
Error The Value expression for the textbox 'textbox55' uses an aggregate function on a report item. Aggregate functions can be used only on report items contained in page headers and footers.
So, pls help if you know how to reference textbox in other in body of report.
Thx.

I have created 1 report with 2 datasets. This report is attached to the 1st dataset.For example,1st one is "Smallappliances", 2nd is "Largeappliances".
I created a tablix and, the 1st column extracts Total sales per Sales person between 2 dates from 1st dataset (Small appliances). I used running values expression and it works fine.
Now, I would like to add another column that extracts Total sales per sales person between 2 dates from 2nd dataset (Large appliances). I am aware that I need to use Lookup expression and it is giving me the single sales value rather than the total sales values. So, I wanted to use RunningValue expression within lookup table to get total sales for large appliances.
This is the lookup expression that I added for the 2nd column.
=Lookup(Fields!salesperson.Value,Fields!sales_person.Value,RunningValue(Fields!sales_amount.Value,
sum, " sales_person"),
"Largeappliances").
I get this error when I preview the report.An error occurred during local report processing.The definition of the report is invalid.An unexpected error occurred in report processing.
(processing): (SortExpression ++ m_context.ExpressionType)
Hi,
I have a matrix in which there are 7 columns.I need to control visibility of a column based on the prompt values provided.
For example:
If prompt values are Act,Ban,Mag then only these column data should come up if i do not select any of these then they should not show up.
Thanks.
I have a field on a report where on occasion, will display 'PR'. We need to have this field hidden if that is the value of the field. I wrote an expression for visibility like: iif(Fields!ThisName.Value="'PR'", false, true), however it still diplays. Is there something else that I need to do here?
Thanks for the information

I'm running the following query in SQL Server 2005:
select name from master..syslogins;
It is being executed from within a stored procedure.
For user 'sa' - I get the complete list of users.
For a user (say 'user1') with NO sysadmin privilege - I get only two names: 'sa' and 'user1'
Is there a way for me to retrieve the complete list of users even for 'user1' without making any changes to his profile (or making very MINIMAL changes to profile)?
I don't want to give sysadmin profile to this user.
I know 'GRANT VIEW ANY DEFINITION TO public' works, but don't want to do that either.

I want to control the visibility of the report bases on if certain columns have the data or not. Since our DB can accept EMPTY strings. I need to check for both NULLs and EMPTY STRINGS.
I have writen the following VB function
Public Function IsEmpty(ByVal value As Object) As Boolean
If IsNothing(value) Then
Return true
Else If(value.ToString().Length = 0)
Return true
End If
Return false
End Function
In the "visibility" expression window I have the following
=(Code.IsEmpty(Fields!COLUMN1.Value)) and (Code.IsEmpty(Fields!COLUMN2)) and (Code.IsEmpty(Fields!COLUMN3))
But it doesn't seems to be working? Any help?
We're working on a new release of a software.In the existing version, each client connects and executes a long batch ofanalysis on some tables.In the new release, we need to allow each client to execute analysis on asubset of data, according to certain login information.Our idea is:1) Connection to db2) Creation of one View according to restrictions3) Execution of analysis using just created view and some tables.The problem is that executingcreate view myvista asselect * from tb_data where testo='A1'from two different clients, creates just one view.Question: Does it exist a way of creating a VIEW with a connection scope,something like 'select into ##temptable'?We tried Create View #MyVista or ##Myvista, but this name is not accepted.Alternative way, is creating a ##TempTable, at the beginning of the batch,and using it as data source instead of full table, but, due to really hugeamount of data, this could really disturb server performances.Thanks for any helpAlberto

I am trying to create a report that should have a dynamic toggle visible, so that when the parent is of a certain type the toggle button (+, -) would not appear and in the other case it will.
Is this possible? I can use expressions in the visible field but not in the toggle one, so how can i manage it?

Hi,I have a report with various tables, some of them can be empty.
When empty, and hidden property set to false only one line apears blank in my report, but if i set the hidden property to true it results in an empty space with the same height as the table i´m trying to hide.
My goal is to have no blank spaces at all when a table is empty.
Anyone can help??
thanks.
Hello,
I have one column group and three static columns. I'd like to control static column visibility property depending on a field value. I.e. Hidden: =Fields!GroupId<>5.
But I'm not able to find visibility property in column object. Neither in properties explorer nor RDL documentation. I'm only able to set hidden property in textbox objects.
I have RS 2005.
Thank you for any idea.
