All,
I want to retrive the column names from an existing report. The report is deployed on the report server and i want to write a code which will list all the column names of the reports along with the properties.
Is there any way i can do this. If so , please let me know. A code sample should help.
Regards..

Is it possible to add new data to an existing report. I already updated the SQL query, but the new data does not appear within the report. How can I modify the rows, columns and data fields???
Thanks in advance!
I am building reports against our TFS development db.
One of the reports tracks days spent (Dwell Time) in various status categories (eg: New, Assigned, In Development, Hold, etc) for a given "ticket".
For a fixed list of values from {Work Item].System_State, I can send the results (days in Assigned) to the column named (Assigned) for each status for each event in the [Work Item History], and then sum them for each ticket as:
Ticket ID New Assigned InDev etc
1230001 2 0 0 ...
1230001 0 1 2 ....
SUM 2 1 2 ....
However, I have many different Projects, each of which use their own Status names.
I don't want to duplicate the same basic report, if I can avoid it.
How can I name and generate this data for the unique Status list for each Project?
Simplest analog is: name = First(Fields!Status.Value, "TFSdb")
and allows value for a column name (category) as: =IIF(Fields!Status.Value = First(Fields!Status.Value, "TFSdb"), Fields!Days.Value, 0)
However this fails beause:
1. It only delivers the FIRST status value, and,
2. I cannot SUM an expression which is itself an aggregate (using First).
Hi
I was wondering if anyone has an idea of how we could find the table names and column names of the tables in our Sql server database at runtime/dynamically given our connection string? Please let me know.
Thanks.
I have a excel file which has a column called "Code" and their values are A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H. I want to create a new column called "status" based on the values of "Code".
Code:
A
B
C
D
E
F
G
H
If A,C,E,G then "status" = "Active" else if B,D,F,H then "Status" = "Inactive". I like to do it using "Derived Column".
I have a pretty complicated report (lots of subreports, tables, etc) that can be well over a few hundred pages long. I can generate the report just fine, but I cannot seem to export it to anything other than an html archive. I need to export to PDF. Every time I try to export it get an error that says:
An internal error occurred on the report server. See the error log for more details.
I don't get any more information than that. Is there a way that I can figure out what the actual error is, or any other way I can go about troubleshooting this? Thanks.

I've got a question regarding report parameters and how to handle them with report details.
Let's assume I've got a matrix with the year in columns and articles in rows. The detail block consists of the turnover and the amount of each article selled.
Is it possible to set a report parameter that'll let the user decide, via a drop down box, If he will the see the turnover, the amount or both? I know that it works for values but can I apply a parameter to columns?
Thanks in advance!!!
I have a report that shows a header, details and a footer
The detail line never prints lines with asterixes in them, e.g.
"**blah blah**"
As soon as I delete the asterix from the database, the line appears on the report
Any ideas anyone?
The trouble I am having is that I have a drilldown report that exports the detail to Excel, but I want the summary exported to Excel.
I perform the following steps but get wrong results. Please help me identify the correct steps for the correct results. Thanks you.
1) Select Matrix.
2) Right click, select Properties.
3) Select tab Groups.
4) Select item in Columns list, click Edit.
5) Select tab Visibility.
6) Select Initial visibility: Hidden, and click okay to the Grouping and Sorting dialog box.
Now I can export summary to Excel okay, but now I can not expand the summary in the report itself, so I do the following:
7) Do one through six above (but do not close dialog box), then click visibility can be toggled by another report item.
8) Select the report item in the Report Item drop down list.
Now the report functions normally in the Reporting Services report web page, but when I export on the summary level, again it exports the detail to Excel, but what I want it to export is the summary.
Ideas?
I have a report with details grouping on table. What i need to do is put row number only on Parent row and skip the child row. When i use RowNumber("GroupName") of course it gives me a current RowNumber. Is there a way to count only parents?

Hi,
I started working with SRS from the past one month. I am breaking my head to do this. My report has a single stored procedure. I made it to work all values of a parameter like
exec sp_employee 'All' (Returns data for all employees)
exec sp_employee '1111' (Returns data for an employee with id 1111)
exec sp_employee '1111,2222' (Returns data for an employee with id 1111 as well as 2222)
This part works perfectly. I could successfully pass the values as mentioned above using a code block.
Now my challenge is how to layout the data on the report.
I need to show the report as follows:
Employeeid Employee Name Address etc.......
Skills:
Skill# Skill Name
1 11111
2 22222
3 33333
4 44444
Contacts:
Contact Type Contact#
Main 111-1111
Emergency 222-1111
Eductation:
Name University
Degree UofU
Masters UofU
I tried using group by employeeid. But i can only show one group of data either Skills/Contacts/Education.
I do not know if I use sub-report, how to pass the parameter from the main, when I pick multiple values for Employeeid.
Any idea how to do this? I appreciate your help,
Thank you,
I've read posts that state it is impossible to remove the "Show Details" button on the tool bar in Report Manager.
I created a new role assignment for an individual on a folder with the "Browse" role only.
When that individual navigates to the folder and clicks the "Show Details" button, the "Delete" and "Move" buttons also appear on the tool bar, with a checkbox next to each report item.
I can't have a folder where my users have the ability to delete or move my published reports!
Am I missing a setting? Again, the user has the "Browse" role only on the folder.
Thanks.
Hi -
I need help figuring out what setting I need to tweak to get the correct calculations for the default aggregate attributes for the related entities of the one I am drilling into. Right now it is calculating the total across all for every row and not slicing by sub-customer.
Example:
I have a customer with a one-to-many relationship to incidents. Both have a count aggregate that is part of the default aggregates for the entity. There are 58 rows in my table. If I run a report with CustomerName and #Incidents, I correctly get different sub totals for each customer, totalling to 58 for the grand total. However, if I run a summary report on customers and drill into the customers using click through, the #Incidents is displayed but it is 58 for all customers - every row.
If I go into the defaultDetailAttributes of the Customer and add the #Incidents to it and run the previous test, then the correct number of incidents are shown for the customer, then the incorrect number of incidents follow (from getting the aggregates from the children).
The query generated is huge and I am sure it has something to do with my OptionalMany relationships between the tables, but I can't understand why...
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks in advance,

I simply need the ability using SQL to add columns in an existing table before (or after) columns that already exist.
The MS SQL implementation of ALTER TABLE doesn't seem to provide the before or after placement criteria I require. How is this done in MS SQL using SQL or is there a stored procedure I can use?
Thanks.
Hi(SQL Server 2000)I have an existing table (t) with a column that is NOT an identity column(t.ID), but it has manually inserted "row numbers". I want to make thiscolumn become an identity column. This column is a key field to othertables, so I want to keep the row numbers that are allready inserted.From the Query Analyzer, how do I do this?Thanks in advance!Regards,Gunnar VøyenliEDB-konsulent asNORWAY
View 3 Replies View Relatedi have too many DTS packages to migrate to SSIS, and while examining a DTS package in BIDS (converted with the migration utility) i tried to edit the resulting migrated package, which opened the DTS interface with the two connection icons joined by the big fat arrow with a gear on it...not exactly what i had in mind, iow, it looks like SSIS on the outside, but its still DTS on the inside.
So I stripped out a series of components from a more complex package hoping that simplifying it would reveal the contents of old DTS Transformations tab at least partially set up in a Derived Column transformation.
Can i get there from here, or must i recreate every stinking definition in a derived column manually from the ground up?
thanks very much for your help
Hello Everyone
As part of UK compliance, we are going to start use an encrytption package (GNUPG), which will be running on a different Server to Reporting Services. A program has been written in C#, to handle requests (from mainframe and PC applications) to encrypt/decrypt credit card details. The encrypted card details are held in an NCR Teradata data warehouse, which Reporting Services can access. The encryption can be called using a http://server/folder/program?DATA=
In Reporting Services, a Data Source connection will be made, using an OLE DB .NET connection to the Teradata machine. SQL code will be included, which will link tables and retrieving the required fields for use in the report. I want to call the encryption program to decrypt the card number, so the actual card number can be printed in the body of the report.
There will probably be a requirement to write some parameter selection SQL as well, so a card nmuber can be entered as a report parameter field, which the SQL will have to either encrypt first, then process the SQL statement down the tables.
Has anybody use this technique before?
Thanks

Is there a way to fetch database usage details for multiple SQL servers (report) usirng powershell script.
Details: servername, databasename, datafile usage, logfile usage, free % age...etc.
We have several hundred very simple ETL SSIS 2K8 package files (*.dtsx).
I'd like to be able to interrogate them to determine source and destination fields.
There's no great need to map source to dest or to extract data types.
So far, the most promising candidate is to load them using OPENROWSET into an XML field in a SS table.No problem there, but querying using OPENXML has me stumped.
The package files will change a couple of times per year, so the process needs to be repeatable with minimal manual intervention.

Hi,
I'm totally new to SSRS2005 and I was wondering if I could extend the existing report items. For instance, I'd like to add a few extra properties to the textbox report item. I tried wrting a custom Textbox control that inherits from System.Windows.Forms.Textbox. When I imported the dll in VS, the new textbox showed up in the toolbox, but it was grayed out.
Any idea what I'm missing here?
Thanks,

Hi
When I run this query..
SELECT COLUMN_NAME
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHERE TABLE_NAME='TableTest'
I get all the column names, but the result is not in the same order as when I check the design for the table, why is that?
At my work, we are upgrading a number of MS Access 2000 databases to SQL Server 2000. Many of the columns have names that do not follow the rules for Identifiers. For example there are columns with a numeric names 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9. There are also columns with a hyphen in the name and columns that begin with a number and not an underscore or an alpha character. Plus there are columns with names like first, last, position, etc. (There was also columns with reserved words used as the names. I have changed those column names in the databases that I have already converted) Will leaving these names alone create a problem? The database serves as the backend to ASP pages.
