I am writing a VB6/SQL Server database app.
I know I can't add charts to data reports.
What is the best means of creating printable reports containing charts -
should I simply create a form which contains the required charts & make it
possible to print this out ?.
TIA,

Hi to all,
I am newbie to Reporting Services technology
I am trying to develop some reports in Reporting Services using Visual Studio Management Express.
Is there a way to create some charts and graphs inside a report?
Have I to use Report Builder?
Thanks a lot
Bye
I am currently migrating several Crystal Reports that have charts. The chart series is set to use the TopN values in a count, and combine the rest of the series into one series titled "Other". I see how to filter the chart using TopN, however I need to still show the rest of the data grouped as "Other". I think the solution I need is to create a group expression that uses some sort of IIF function to create the "Other" group, but I haven't found a function that I can use to get the results I need. Any ideas?

Hi all,
Drill through bar charts work great in the report designer preview, but as soon as I deploy the report, and view the report in a webpage, drill through does not work smoothly.
I have to move the mouse around to be able to find a place on the bar to click through to the next report. Sometimes, I am able to click on the bar to go to next report, but then sometimes I have to click on the label, and other times somewhere in the vicinity of the label.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks,

Does any body know that creating free form rports using Report Builder is possible?
Free-form report - in the sense - that user should be able to drag the fields from the leftside fields pane and drop on body as we do in report designer using BI studio.
I could not figure out a way to do so. Is this a limitation?
Thanks

Hi All,
I'm using DTS in Sql Server 2000 for the first time, and would like to create Ad-Hoc reports with Pie/Charts and graphs. Is this possible in SQL Server/DTS, or would I need something like Cyrstal Reports?
Thanks!

Hi there!
I have a certain scenario and would like to know if it would be recommendable to try and realize it through RS.
I have a matrix of sales data (countries, regions, categories, total sales, Year-To-Date, changes, etc.) that need to be shown on charts. The charts themselves have a single format (bars). The out put needed is a relatively large number of charts (3000+) that would allow for a great number of comparisons (country to country, region to region, etc.). All these charts share a single layout. What would be varying greatly are the values and the labels attached to the elements on the chart (labels of the bars, title of the chart, legend, footnotes, etc.)
My plan is the follwoing:
- create a .net module that would prepare the data for the chart. This would be done with two tables
- parent table with general information
- child table with the the values for the bars and the labels
- Create a parametrized report in RS that accepts the Id of a report from the parent table
- Call this report for each and every report that can be found in the parent table
I would really appreciate any information of the feasabilitiy of this plan. I have worked a lot with Crystal before, but I don't have it anymore and will be using RS from now on. I haven't really started working with RS as of yet, but would need to know if this is "doable" with RS!
Thank you very much in advance for your replies!

I'm using Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005. I am creating a report to put on the Internet using C# and other .NET features. I'm building several charts using database information extracted from Microsoft Excel. I can make charts based on the data from columns using the categories, series, and values on the Data tab of chart properties. However, when I create a query that grabs a record ( a row) from a database, it forces me to use the field values even though each field contains only one value.
Basically, I want to take a row from a database and make it my x-axis data values and another row (record) from a database and make it my y-axis data values.
I'd prefer not to change the format in the database, if possible. Thanks in advance.
I am using SQL express and Visual web developer on windows Vista.
When I try to create a new database the following message appears.
CREATE DATABASE permission denied in database master (error 262)
I log on to my computer as an administrator.
Help appreciated

We use an internal tool that can display ASP pages. I would like to use SQL Reporting Services to create reports in ASP format. The ASP page will access the database to get data. Is this possible possible with Reporting Services?

From what I read about the versions, VS 2005 Standard allows for SSRS development.
If I create a new project, I don't see the option to create anything from the BI section to create a report project.
I have SQL Server Express on my machine, and am able to run the SSRS configuartion management tool.
Do I have to run an .exe file or something?
Thanks!

I have a requirement to create dynamic reports for my client.
once i create these reports then the user will choose columns of there choice.
so the columns may belong to multiple tables.
Now the report should get generated with the layout etc. is it possible.
since our project is totally on the webserver(webbased.)
please if you can provide me with any links with dynamic report creation wizards.
and also we only use Stored procedures via database.
which is best is writing the entire queries right behind the layouit or calling the entire logic via Stored procedure. i am a bit confused. this is my first project working on reports itself.
Thank you all for the helpful information.

Hi,
I would like to know if is possible to create dynamic reports based on cubes. What i mean is,after creating a cube with a couple of dimensions and measure if is there any way to give the normal users on the report manager or report builder the freedom to choose their own dimensions/measure so they can output the report with the choosen criteria.
Thanks.
Situation: If possible, create one stored procedure for Crystal Reports(CR). For any CR users ou
there, looking for coding suggestion also. Thank you for your assistance.
Currently, CR has a header(Report Header) coming from 1 to 1 tables, there is a parameter
which is passed in, allowing it to retrieve one record for the header(report header or RH).
The CR then has 4 subreports in which each has its own stored procedure. This I believe happens
because the Report Header records relationship to the subreport is 1 to many. The 3 remaining
subreports relationship to the Report Header is also a 1 to many. The main problem is the
subreports is that there may or may not have any records based on this, the subreport is
suppressed within CR and thus there can be alot of unused white space on the 1st page and one
of the subreports prints on a 2nd page when it could have been on the 1st page.
Example:
Main Stored Procedure(sp)
RH Tables: aaa, bbb, ccc, ddd are 1 to 1 record tables and have a @xyz parameter.
Results of subreports and their associated procedure are varchar(8000) decriptions. Each line
should be counted in some manner in the stored procedure(sp) and then should be counted in CR
to avoid excess white space. To complicate matters subreport 2 to has font, bold, showbox but
can have different font sizes. These variations could cause different line space requirements.
Any ideas?
Each line should be counted in some manner in the stored procedure and then should be counted
in CR. There is a count of records for each the main stored procedure.
RH has 1 record to many records in subreport 1 with same @xyz parameter.
RH has 1 record to many records in subreport 2 with same @xyz parameter.
RH has 1 record to many records in subreport 3 with same @xyz parameter.
RH has 1 record to many reords in subreport 4 with same @xyz parameter.
Because of the relationships, its seems impossible to create one stored procedure which give
in one select statement with all the 1 to 1, 1 to many relationsips, as stated above. I thought
concatinating i.e. 3 records together and then parsing it out some how in CR, along with
utilizing the i.e. 3 record count to help count lines. Thought of some how creating a temporary
table matrix for 8pt - 28pt for line and spacing considerations.
Hi,
I need to create letter type reports using the report builder, is this possible?. I am trying to create a letter that embeds some variable fields, i.e,. name, address, contact number. I can't seem to find a way to create page headers, and embed report data fields within text. Is this not possible within the report builder? it seems that the only thing you can do within the report builder is add fields to their predesignated areas. I am being forced to use the report builder instead of the report designer in order to give the end user the ability to make modifications to the report/letter. This is very frustrating. not being able to allow the user to edit report designer files, and then having force them to use report builder which doesn't seem to support some simple features..
Any suggestions would be appreciated...
Hi,
Why is taking so long to open/create/render the reports for the first time? Is there any configuration to change this? I don€™t think this behavior is related to Report Execution or cache! I think there is something else going on! Thanks.
the subject pretty much says it all, I want to be able to do the following in in VB.net code):
{[If [table with this name] already exists [in this sql database] then [ don't create another one] else [create it and populate it with these values]}
How would I do this?
Can I dynamically (from a stored procedure) generatea create table script of all tables in a given database (with defaults etc)a create view script of all viewsa create function script of all functionsa create index script of all indexes.(The result will be 4 scripts)Arno de Jong,The Netherlands.

I'm new to using SSIS and have been reading and learning slowly how to use it. I'm trying to create an identical copy of our database for reporting. I've used the Import/Export wizard, but have had some issues with foreign keys and with sql_variant columns.
I've tried searching for anything but haven't had any luck as of yet. I guess I don't even know where to start or what to look for.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
I have several reports in a Power View Gallery. In Gallery view, most of the reports show the "Open New Excel Workbook", the "Create Power View Report", and the "Manage Data Refresh" buttons on the right side of the report list. Why would some reports not have these buttons available? In the attached image you can see one report with the buttons and one without the buttons.

I have been trying to manage my SQL 2000 Databases using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. It works well for most everything. The problem is, however, that there is no equivalent to the SQL 2000 Taskpad View in SQL Server Management Sudio.
In the Summary screen when connected to a 2000 Database the Reports button is disabled. If I restore a 2000 Database into a 2005 DBE then I get the message that the compatibilty Mode is 80 and I must set it to 90 to get this report.
I could switch this to a 90 compatibility mode, but I don't think I should need to do this. Additionally, I don't want to have 2000 and 2005 both installed to quicly examine the used to free space ratio on a Database.
How do I get around this? Is there a switch that I missed somewhere? Is it possible to get the Disk Usage report to work from the Database Summary Page for a 2000 Database or a Database running in 80 Compatibilty mode?
Thank you,
