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
Hi,
I have a report in which there is a field called "Returned Qty" and there is a parameter called Show Qty now I want this field returned Qty to only appear if this show Qty parameter is set to yes. Can Anyone suggest me how to do this?
I guess It could be done by using the properties option and writing some expression. I appreciate the response,
Thanks,

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.

VS2005/SSR2005 Reporting: How can one control an individual report fields visibility (toggle on/off) at run time, based on data values (of the same field or another field) in the report. Without user having to sit there and "Click".

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
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 want to display the reportheader and footer of a sub report from master report eventhough there is no data is populated for subreport.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
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

Hi,
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?
Best Regards,

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.

Please let me know how to achieve this in SSRS.
Thanks in advance

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?
Hi,
I have a report that is conditionally showing a textbox based on the previous entry that is working correctly.
My issue is that the non visible entries are still being added to my Sum statement at the end of the report.
I need a way to exclude an entry based on its visibility.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
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 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.
Hi
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?
Hi All,
I want to toggle visiblity of a parameter in sql server reporting services 2005. Please anyone tell me how to do it?
Please help me.
I want to toggle visiblity of a parameter at runtime.
Please tell me how to achieve this.
I'm attempting a create a matrix report that will have some rows with drilldown data and some without. On the rows without drilldown data, I wanted to hide the toggle image so that the user would know there was none available. So far, I've only been able to accomplish this by creating a duplicate row group and displaying no text for its cell. Then by changing its visibility, the toggle image would go away. However; while this makes the report look good, it breaks the export to excel because the other row column that contains the data must stay visible and the excel drill down functionality goes away.
Does anyone have a way of changing the visibility of the toggle image on a row by row basis within the Matrix control?
Any assistance would be appreciated!
Hopefully a simple question about parent-child package relationship. For this example, let's say I have a simple setup - one parent package: parent.dtsx, and one child package: child.dtsx. The parent package calls the child package via the ExecutePackage Task.
If I add an OleDB ConnectionManager to the parent package called MySqlConnectionManager, should I be able to reference this connection via a script task (or custom component) from my child package? I realize that I will have a problem doing this at design time, but I thought I could get around it with the script task or custom component. That said, when I look in the Connections collection at run-time from within my child package, I do not see the parent package's MySqlConnectionManager. Am I missing something, or is this the way it was intended to work?
Thanks,
David
I am creating a report and I have based the detail row to only appear on 2 certain criteria.
=iif(
AND(Parameters!ContactDetails.Value =
-1, Fields!RowNumber.Value = 1), True,
False)
It's failing on the -1, part of the expression.Â
I have a table with 5 levels of grouping and a detail row. When the report first displays it looks like this:
Group1 Hdr Group2 Hdr Group3 Hdr Group4 Hdr Group5 Hdr Detail Headers
+Group1-Item1
+Group1-Item2
+Group1-Item3
How can I alter the visibility of the group headers when they don't have access into the scope of the groups themselves ? At startup, I only want to show group1's header. If I expand an item in group 1, then I only want to show headers for group 1 and 2, etc ...
Thanks
Hello,
Is it possible to display a value, based on a result of a comparrison?

Hi, currently I am using a matrix of the below format:
Column Grouping
a) Months (From dataset)
b) Amt | Cnt | Ave (Static)
Desired Collapsed View
Jan Feb Mar
Ave Ave Ave
Figures 10 20 30
Current Collapsed View
Jan Feb Mar
Ave Ave Ave
Figures 10 20 30
Expanded View
Jan Feb Mar
Amt Cnt Ave Amt Cnt Ave Amt Cnt Ave
Figures 100 10 10 200 10 20 300 10 30
Issue Faced
When viewing the RS report online, the months cell do not "shrink" even though Amt & Cnt columns were hidden in the Collapsed View.
When the report was exported to excel, the desired collapsed view was showed where the months cell were "resized" when the drilling is collapsed.
Question
Is there any setting required to enable the months cell to "auto shrink" when Amt & Cnt columns are hidden?
Thanks for your help.
Don't know if this is the right place to ask the question, didn't know where to put it...
Strange thing is happening to me...I created different forms that all point (Record Source) on tables (one form - one table). Each table has some columns with Default or Binding Value set.
I have a user that has Insert, Delete, Update and Select permissions.
When I insert a new record using the front end, some forms show the default values correctly, others don't show them at all (all the columns that should be populated with a default value are empty). If I add a View Definition permission to problematic tables --> surprise, surprise, default values get implemented...I'm confused...
Any ideas? Can a user w/ View Definition do some damage to the table?
Hi,
I need to toggle visibility of group of columns in reporting services report, just like we can do for rows. I know that individual fields can be hidden, but i need to hide/show complete column.
Thanks in anticipation.

I am trying to use either a rectangle or a list to provide page break functionality between 2 tables in a report.
If I set PageBreakAtStart, I get a nice page break between the 2 tables.
However, If there are no rows in the first table, I do not want the page break. So I add this expression in the list/rectangle hidden property: =iif(RowNumber("Data")= 0,true,false)
Once I add this, or any other expression to the list/rectangle, the page break stops working, even tho the list/rectangle is being shown. If I set Hidden back to False, the page break works. If I use =False in an expression, the page break stops working again.
Any ideas or is this an ssrs bug?
Thanks
