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'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?
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.
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?
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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)
VS 2008. I have the following set up. Group1, Group2, Group3 header, Group 3 detail rows..When I set the row visibility (hide based on Group2) on the Detail row, it still shows up when the report is originally rendered.
It should be: Group1 expanded, Group2 collapsed, Group3 header hidden and detail rows hidden It is showing: Group1 expanded, Group2 collapsed, Group3 header hidden, Group3 detail row visible.
I never had this trouble in 2005. Is there something different about row visibility in 2008?
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:
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.
Both of these expressions work on 1 reportserver but not another (within exact same report). Has anyone else had similar issues?
The reportserver that works is on IIS v5.1 and SQL 2005 on a XP SP2 machine. The reportserver that does not work is on IIS v6.0 and SQL 2000 on a Win2003 SP1 machine. The report is exactly the same (even the dataset sources are the exact same) and it is deployed on 2 different machines as above.
Could the IIS version difference be the issue? Or a SQL server version difference?
Has anyone gotten this expression to work where the reporting databases are on SQL 2000? TIA.
I have created a report parameter called ServerName. However, when I deploy the report and report viewer opens, I get the following error:
An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted) Error during processing of the ConnectString expression of datasource €˜AdventureWorks€™. (rsDataSourceConnectStringProcessingError)
Is there some really obvious step I am missing here? The relevant parts of my rdl are below.
Thanks in advance

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.
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.
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.
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?
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))
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.
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.
Hi, Is there a way to set the visibility of a chart as can be done for a textbox or table or matrix? My requirement is that the chart should be visible only if certain data conditions are met.
I built a report, that displays several Subreports. Then a request came, if it wouldn't be possible, to build a switch to turn on/off a page break after each report.
Since RS doesn't support a fexible page break controlling (you can either set or not set a page break hardcoded), I got an idea for a workaround:
After my Subreport I put a rectangle with a page break. Now every Subreport was displayed on a separate page.
Then I set the visibility for the rectangle to "hidded" and as expected, there was no page break after each subreport.
So far, so good. I then created a boolean parameter and set the Visibility expression to:
=Not Parameters!PageBreakAfterEachReport.Value
Now here comes the strange thing: If the Parameter is false, the rectangle is not displayed and therefor there is no page break, BUT, if the parameter is true, the rectangle is displayed correctly but there is STILL NO page break!!!?!?!!?!?
Why does the page break work, when I set the visibility hardcoded, but not when I try to control it via a parameter & expression?
I have two DataSet and two tables in a report. Almost identical reports (top 5). Both DataSet have a Boolean indicator and I am to append an asterisk to a column in the detail rows if indicator is true. If an asterisk appears, I am to display the footer, that has a comment in it explaining the asterisk.
Public Class AsteriskFootNote
'
' To be used on the Visibility.Hidden attribute
'
Dim _FooterVisiblity As Boolean = True
Public ReadOnly Property FooterVisibility() As Boolean
Get
Return _FooterVisibility
End Get
End Property
'
Function AsteriskIndicator(ByVal strInd As String) As String
If (strInd.ToLower = "true") Then
_FooterVisibility = False
Return "*"
End If
Return ""
End Function
'
End Class
I have instantiated two classes Dollars and Hours. In the detail, call the
=Fields!Descr.Value & Code.Dollar.AsteriskIndicator( Fields!MultiInd.Value ) In the footer visibility, I assign hidden:
=Code.Dollar.FooterVisibility But it does not work. The tables act as if they assign the Hidden value, then processes the detail rows.
I have a main report and wanted to embed a sub report in the main table. This is pretty easy enough.
The main report lists the suppliers we have. And the sub report lists any sub suppliers affialiated to those suppliers.
I have set the sub report visibility settings to hidden and is toggled by the suppliers ID.
The problem is that NOT ALL suppliers will have sub-suppliers, yet when you run the report the user gets presented with the option to toggle all suppliers' ID.
Is there any way to have a main report that only allows the user to click on a suppliers ID when that particular supplier has a sub supplier?
