Hi,
I am building reports using Sql Server 2005 Reporting Services. I have to build more than 20 reports. I felt it is tedious to format each report individually. Is there a way to include external style sheets in reports?
Thanks in advance for your help!
How can I apply a style sheet "style.css" to a .rdl file (a report in Reporting Services)?
Could I modify the width of the parameters combobox?
Hi ,
Yesterday I Customize Style Sheets for the report manager. Today I tried to customize Style Sheets for HTML Viewer but it doesn't works. I have done all that steps :
- I include the <HTMLViewerStyleSheet> setting into the <Configuration> selection of the rsreportserver.config file and then specify the style sheet I want to use : <HTMLViewerStyleSheet>HtmlViewer2</HTMLViewerStyleSheet>
- My rsreportserver.config file is into the C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2Reporting ServicesReportServer folder.
- The style sheet HtmlViewer2.css is located in the C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2Reporting ServicesReportServerStyles folder.
I'm using SQL Server 2005.
Can someone Help me ? I have been trying change the style of the toolbar all the day and i start to be desperate !
Thank you.
I want to make a CSS Style solution for my reports. I have few ideas related to this, changing the report properties on the fly, but I am not sure for which I should go for.
- We know that we can put expression on reports almost everywhere, and can also call custom code for setting up those expressions. i.e.
Public Shared Function GetValue(ByVal Key As String) As String
Dim myDataReader As SqlDataReader
Dim mySqlConnection As SqlConnection
Dim mySqlCommand As SqlCommand
mySqlConnection = New SqlConnection("server=localhost;Trusted_Connection=yes;database=tempMIQB")
mySqlCommand = New SqlCommand("SELECT * FROM [Properties] Where PropertyName='" & Key & "'", mySqlConnection)
mySqlConnection.Open()
myDataReader = mySqlCommand.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection)
If myDataReader.Read() Then
GetValue = myDataReader.Item("PropertyValue").ToString
Else
GetValue = "None"
End If
End Function
and in textbox or any where I can say =Code.GetValue("BGColor") or from .NET dll.
For going further on with this idea I can create an .NET dll and get the list from database or XML file. (Please give suggestions for performance/scalability issue.)
- second idea is to write a custom application (script) which can go through all the reports and change the color and fonts and every thing.
- third is to use parameters and use Array.IndexOf method to search for the value, but in this case i need to add dataset to all reports and, I think we cannot access report properties i.e. Parameters from custom code, just to make a generic function to access parameter value.
To date I have found no way of defining styles that can be shared either between objects or between reports.
I am looking for the concept of the rdl making a reference to an external css (or equivalent) file. This would allow for me to define a font or image external to the rdl and shared among all my reports. Currently if I want to change my header image, I need to edit 50 rdl files across the reporting suite.
What work arounds are available for this? Is this a coming feature enhancement? If so when? Does the reporting team publish a list of future enhancments?
I know crystal and few other reporting packages have the concept of css or style external to the report.
Cheers

Hi, here is my problem:
Because of some usability terms, I need to use SSRS scheduler to determine reports creation frequency (minimum frequency is once a day)I need to use an external scheduler to SSRS in order to launch reports creation daily, after some other batch tasks execution that must be completed before launching report creation.
And I have no idea on how to do that properly. Can somebody help me?
Thanks!
Hai,
" When connecting to the server with a pre-4.1 client program, use an account that still has a pre-4.1-style password. Reset the password to a pre-4.1 style for each who must use a pre-4.1 client program."

I need to make a gigantic collection of excel sheets searchable from a web interface.I need entire rows fetched into a webpage depending on the users query.Mind you I'm not searching the names (filenames) of these excel files, butthe contents inside the excel file. E.g. in a file test.xls, if I search for the word"test1" from the web interface, the entire row in the excel file containingthe word test1 should be displayed.One way out is to dump the contents of the excel sheets into a database, andsearch the database via ASP.For this, can anyone tell me how to efficiently dump the contents of an excelsheet into SQL server?Or if anyone can suggest an alternate strategy for searching this mammothcollection of excel files' contents, if would be great.Thanks a lot.

Actually I've got multiple questions - but will start with 1. :)
My task in three words:
Use Grand Prix data and make it so that you can ask questions to it via SQL Server or by using Excel.
What I did so far:
I gathered the GrandPrix data from f1db.com - I stored the data in multiple Excel Files - I created a Formule1 database - I created separate packages for all the data. Which means, im cloning the data from Excel to SQL Server.
What I'm doing now:
In SQL Server Management Studio I am creating new tables in which I store (using SQL queries) the data from the packages that I loaded into the Database. This is going very well so far - and I'm proud of that. ;)
The problem:
Most Excel files have only 1 sheet and where the first row are the identifying column-names. I now however have 1 Excel files that exists of multiple sheets, perhaps 40 or something. I could create a package and run this which would result in 40 new tables in SQL Server Management Studio. I bet that would work just fine. But how - and here comes the main question - do I copy information from those 40 tables (former sheets) into 1 new table.
it's hard to explain what I want to be the result...
Ok, i made a screenshot and added some notes that makes the whole situation more clear:
direct link: http://img243.imageshack.us/img243/9462/whatimtryingfx9.png
I suppose this requires a complex SQL Query, hopefully someone can help me out or point me into the right direction. Much appreciated!
Thank you.

I know how to use ssis to import data from the sheet in an excel file.
How do you use ssis to get the data out from different sheets into the database?
Is there such functionality please?
Thanks
I have a report with multiple tables that I am rendering in Excel. Each table has a page break.
The Excel output has multiple sheets as intended. However, the sheet tabs are labeled "Sheet 1", "Sheet 2" etc.
I would like to put my own labels on those tabs to describe the table that is on that sheet.
Is there any property I can set to do this?
By the way, I am running the reports as a console application in VB .NET 2005. So there may be some VB trick for doing this as well.
Hello:
I have a problem and I would like your help:
I made a report by Reporting Services with three matrixes. This report is exported directly to an Excel file in my application ASP. It is OK.
But the problem is:
The 3 matrixes were made one below another, and the export to Excel generates automatically three sheets like: sheet1 sheet2 and sheet3 with exactly these names.
Is there a way to custom the name of these 3 sheets by a resource in the matrixes defined in the report in order to have the Excel file with them named ?
MySQL allowed INSERT statements that looked like this:
INSERT INTO Table SET col1 = value1, col2 = value2, col3 = value3
Basically this closely matched the format of the UPDATE statements.
Here is why this was good: I could do something like this: if (RecordExists == false) {
SQLquery = "INSERT INTO Table SET ";
} else {
SQLquery = "UPDATE Table SET ";
}
SQLquery += "col1 = value1, ";
SQLquery += "col2 = value2, ";
SQLquery += "col3 = value3, ";
SQLquery += "col4 = value4 ";
if (RecordExists == true) {
SQLquery += "WHERE id = " + ourID;
}
If I had a good 50 columns then it means I can reuse a sizable chunk of code for both INSERT and UPDATE statements (since both use the same general format). Whereas if I have to use "INSERT INTO Table(columns) VALUES (values)" then I'm look at duplicating a lot of code.
Does MS-SQL support something similar to "INSERT INTO SET"? How are others dealing with this?
Thanks,

Hi,
If the datetime value is '20.01.2006', what will be the style in CONVERT function ?
Eg : select convert(datetime, '20.01.2006') gives datetime out-of-range error.
There is no style provided for dd.mm.yyyy in SQL Server documentation. Is there any way to do such conversion with this constant value of format dd.mm.yyyy ?
Please advice,
Thanks,

View 1 Replies View RelatedHello, I'm looking for a little input on this situation.I'm working on an inventory system and was thinking that I'd like tobuild it similiar to the way a bank keeps track of your funds.If you look at at bank statement, for each line item, you'll normallysee at least date/time, description, amount (plus or minus value), andbalance.In my inventory system, the amount and balance would be a count of theitems used or transferred instead of money.Does this sound reasonable? Or is there a better design? I am planningto connect the inventory system to a few different ordering interfaces,and I think it would work well if I can dump transactions into theinventory instead of incrementing and decrementing counts.The only problem I see with this, is if I want to implement the balancepart of it with each record....I can't think of a way to do that currently.I can certainly use a trigger in the database to retrieve the mostrecent transaction and update the balance field for one record insertedat a time, but if a list of transactions is dumped into the inventorysystem at once, I'd have to compensate for that in the trigger.Ideas?*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!

Is it possible to make a rectangle appear sunk or raised? I've had a play with the different border style settings but they don't appear to make any difference! Can anyone also tell me what the Groove, Ridge, Inset etc are supposed to do?
Thanks
I have 2 details section in my report. I want to set bottom border style to solid for the first detail section if the second detail section is empty. And set to none if the second detail section has value. Basically I want to show the line below the first detail section and hide the second detail section if the second detail section is empty. otherwise I want to show the line only below the second detail section.
I am able to hide the detail section. But can't set the border style using expression.
I hope the above para is not confusing you

I saw a post with this same subject line, posted in July of 2006, but with no replies. I am now having precisely the same problem.
I am importing data from an OLE DB source. I want to directly store this data in an Excel file. There are far more than 65,536 rows in the DB table, but the version of Excel I have only tolerates a maximum of that many. My solution is to divide the data into separate worksheets within the same Excel file. At any given time, I do not know exactly how many rows are moving from the database to the Excel file, so is there a way to dynamically create a new worksheet every time I reach 65,536 rows?
Thank you.

My manager wants me to produce a legacy dts-style display of an executing package in an asp.net grid view. It would be color-coded the same way: red, green, black showing the status of each step with start and finish time. Any ideas on how to do this?
View 3 Replies View RelatedIm using embedded SS2000 DTS packages in SSIS. These legacy packages use Dynamic Properties Tasks to pick up connection settings from a named ini file. The name of that ini file needs to change occasionally. To date the only way we have of doing this is resetting all the dynamic properties to point at the new ini file. Unfortuntely there are a lot of connections and properties and there is no budget to recreate these packages in SSIS. There must be an easier way?!
Does anyone know how to quickly change Dynamic Properties Tasks to look at a new ini?
Seems like a long shot, but I'd really like to show "CO2" (chemical formula for carbon dioxide) with the "2" as a subscript, in a report text box. The "CO2" would be embedded as part of a sentence, e.g. "The CO2 emissions..." Is there any way to do this?

I have two tables that are pretty standard I think. Table a has product descriptions and one of those fields is a price. I have a second table that contains fees based on the price. so table B looks like this.
min max fee
0 19.99 2.50
20.00 49.99 3.50
50.00 1000.00 5.50
the max ends up around a million just to be sure we cover all prices. my problem is this I need a very efficient query to
poll all the values from A and the correct value from B. All the attempts I have made are not working. I also have to make sure this query is extremely efficient as it is executed several times a minute. If there is a better way in general to structure this I am all ears. I wanted to avoid placing the fees in the product table as the fees are updated often, but if its the only way to get this to work, then that is where I will go.
Thanks everyone
