Writing Query In Report Builder
Oct 15, 2007
Hi,
I have created a model from the underlying database. Now I want the capability to write SQL Queries when creating reports instead of drag and drop the reports. Is there anyway we can achieve it in MS Report Builder. I would like to know the options available in MS world on this.
Thanks,

Report Builder: Date Filter, Relative Date
Dec 14, 2006I have a date filter, and I default it to first day this month and last day this month under relative date, when I run it it givis me error:
The Value expression for the report parameter €˜FromDate€™ contains an error: [BC30456] 'Date' is not a member of 'Integer'. (rsCompilerErrorInExpression)
Can anyone fix this problem?
But it works for Today or (n)months ago.

NUL L Date Values In Report Builder Display As...

Thanks in advance
Report Builder: How To Access Last Inactive Date
Apr 7, 2008A Contractor has a list of Contracting Companies that he has worked for in his history.
For each row in the "Contracting Company" table, there is an Active Date and an Inactive Date. Each Contracting Company cannot have overlapping dates.
The last row in the table for that Contractor may have a null Inactive Date. That just means that he doesn't know when his contract will end.
In Report Builder, I can access the "Last Active Date", because there is a pre-built formula for "Last Active Date". However, whenever I access the prebuilt formula "Last Inactive Date" - I get the inactive date for the second-last row, because the last row has a null value for the Inactive Date! I want to get the Inactive Date for the last row - not the second last row!
How to do this easily? Thanks!
Problem With Date Filters In SQL 2005 Report Builder
Jul 6, 2007Hi,
I'm having a hard time getting date filters to work properly in Report Builder 2005. One of my model entites contains a datetime field called Date Opened, which corresponds to a datetime field in my database table. This is how the data looks like: 6/27/2007 11:31:52 AM, 6/27/2007 11:33:33 AM, 7/3/2007 9:24:07 AM.
1. I created an ad-hoc report and added a filter on Date Opened field, setting condition to PROMPT where Date Opened EQUALS some value. Next to EQUALS I get a dropdown list with the following values: 6/27/2007 11:31:52 AM, 6/27/2007 11:33:33 AM, 7/3/2007 9:24:07 AM. It looks like this list was generated by pulling all Date Opened values (including a time stamp) from the database. The problem comes up when I run this report and Date Opened filter limits me to choosing exact date time, when I want to see all rows for the specific date (the entire day). Is there any way to make EQUALS list not include the time stamps and show only dates, or give me a calendar control instead so I can choose the date (no time) to filter on? I noticed that if database had no existing values for Date Opened, the Equals list lets me choose a date with a calendar. I need to accomplish the same even if there are some values in the database.
2. The same setup as above. This time I choose to see all rows where Date Opened is AFTER specific date and set it to PROMPT the user. If I actually choose a default value on Filter Date dialog, run the report having picked some new value in a filter, it behaves as expected giving me all rows AFTER the date I specified. If I leave default value unspecified, run the report having picked some new value in a filter, it returns all rows on the date I specified and AFTER. In other words, it behaves like ON or AFTER. Is this a bug?
3. Same as scenario #2 above just using On or BEFORE. If I leave the default value unspecified on Filter Date dialog, run the report having picked some new value in a filter, it returns all rows before the date I specified, behaving like BEFORE rather than On or BEFORE. Is this a bug?
Any help is greately appreciated. I know we'll be getting customer calls about these issues.

Report Builder: How Can I Append Two Table Fields To Report In Report Builder
Feb 6, 2008
Hi,
When i select datasource in Report Builder, i am able to see all the available DataSources.
Eg: I have selected one datasource from the list and which has 3 tables(table1, table2, table3) associated to that datasource.
when i drag and drop table1 fields to report, i am not able to see the other 2 tables(table2 & table3)
Is there any property or relationship do i need to maintain?

Writing A Query Builder
Apr 29, 2007Hi All,
For one of our projects, we are supposed to write a query builder to display reports in tabular format. For the filter criteria ( i.e where clause ) user can select from a list of predefined columns and assign conditions to it. For example, user can select 'CustomerName' as the column and specify condition where name begines with 'A'. Similarly he can also select ouput columns
Problem
The columns that user selects can come from different tables. We are planning to store mapping between tables and columns and also their primary and foreign keys in an xml file. But I would want to understand how to build the join clause.
For example, say there are 4 tables customer, customer address, order, and items. Say user wants the number of items purchased by each customer who stays in 'Delhi'.
1. In output column he selects customer.name and count(items.id)
2. In filter criteria he selects address.city = 'delhi'
How would the query builder know that to join customer and items, order also has to be joined. Any pointers would be helpful.

Report Builder Using Report Model Based On Linked Server (Excel) - Primary Key?
Sep 6, 2007I've created a linked server with a pretty basic Excel spreadsheet, and used this command to create a linked server to it:
sp_addlinkedserver ''XL_SPS_1', 'Excel', 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'c:MyExcel.xls', null, 'Excel 8.0'
I want to use this as the data from which to build a report model. As linked servers don't show up in the Data Source View wizard, I created a view in SQL Server:
create view MyExcel
as
select * from XL_SPS_1...Sheet1$
Okay, great, now the view shows up in the DSV wizard and I can create the data source view. However, when I create a new report model based on this data source view, the Report Model Wizard tells me at "Create entities for all tables" that I've got an error when it processes dbo_MyExcel that "Table does not have a primary key."
I assume this is where the identifying attributes for the entities in the report model are taken from, so I really can't go further. Does anyone have an idea as to how to add a primary key to a linked server (Excel) in SQL 2005? Can this be done? Other than importing spreadsheet data to a SQL table, how can I get around this?
Thanks,

Possiblity / Instructions On How To Install Report Builder Locally Without Hitting Report Server
Feb 16, 2007We have a remote business client who has a proxy server setup and this translates into receiving a 407 proxy authentication blocking error when attempting to download the report builder application for deployment off the report server which is housed locally with us. The proxy server does not allow them to download application type files off another site. At the moment, they would not like to disable the proxy for these users to allow them to deploy the application on their client or add the report server as a trusted site. Is there a method by which Report Builder can be locally installed on the client pc instead of online only with it knowing the correct report server to access and then still launch correctly when the report builder button is pressed through report manager?
I am not a web application guru by any means and we have tried to replicate the oneclick deployment and what occurs in the local settings/apps/2.0 subdirectories, but the application still attempts to download/install again. If we attempt to just launch the local executable on the client, report builder assumes the client pc (localhost) is the report server to access. Is there a method which will succeed?

Report Builder Icon Is Not Showing Up On The Report Manager Home Page
Feb 1, 2007HI, there,
I added a new windows user "ReportUser" which is a local user (not in administrator group). When I connect to the report manage's web page, I use reportuser to log in (when the anonymous access is disabled it will ask a log in). Report builder icon is not showing up on the report manager home page.
If I log in as a user in administrator group, the reportr builder icon shows up so I can download it and build report.
I have assigned reportuser "Content manager" and "repoter builder" access to the home folder. Is there anything else I have to do to make the report build icon show up on the home page?
Thanks

Report Builder And Report Server Cross Domain Communication
Dec 19, 2006
I have client machine in one domain, say A domain , on which I have installed .net 2.0 without any problem. I have report server running in other domain (B domain) where I have deployed few models which will be used from domain A to create ad hoc reports by launching Report Builder. I can access other reports in domain B from A
But when I click on Report Builder ..it tries to connect to server in domain B but fails to connect and shows following log in a text pop up
I know, problem is because of cross domain communication but question is then how to fix it ? what changes I need to do for that in firewall, domain etc etc settings?

Reporting Services :: Report Builder - Add Report Processing Time?
Feb 26, 2015I was wondering if there was any way to add a value field to a report, with the time it took for the report to Process.
It would probably be a text field with an Expression, but don't know how that would go.
I know that in Expression there is a value for ExecutionTime (when report began to run), but nothing about when it ends.Can this be done? and if yes, how?
Reporting Services :: See Report-Level Variables In Report Builder 3.0
Mar 22, 2011Is there a way to see Report-Level variables in Report Builder 3.0? Also, just as a feedback, it would be really nice if there were a way to see and easily access all of the variables used in a report from one location instead of going to the dataset, the report, and then to the individual groups (if needed) to see the variables. Also, it would be very useful if Group-level variables can show up in the Expression Builder as well.

Jul 6, 2015I've gotten to the point of publishing the new reports on the SSRS server and have run into the following problem.
I use a field in the primary report with the "Go to report" action to open up another report (also published) for more details. It works properly from within ReportBuilder (2.0) using the report server and I can go to and from the secondary report as I expect. Its passing the correct parameters to the second report and its runs.
But when I use the reports from the SSRS web, the Go To link no longer works. Mouse hover shows its still a link but clicking goes no where. I can run both reports independently from SSRS and they still work. Â
I've tried this in IE and Chrome with no luck in either. I also poked around at Compatability view and popup blocker but nothing made any difference.
Restrict Report Builder Access To Report Execution Timeout
Nov 22, 2006I am setting up the SQL2005 reporting service to let users build their own reports on the web. I'll provide them with pre-built report models. We have concern with SQL database performance by allowing users to execute huge reports. The problem that I have is: If I give the users permissions to build report they'll have access to the report's Properties | Execution page, which allows them to disable the report execution timeout. Is there a way for me to allow them build reports while restrict them to access the report execution timeout settings?
Please advise. Many thanks.
Report Model: Drill On Calculated Field In Report Builder
Feb 11, 2007Hi,
I've created dsv that contain all fields from table database. in the smdl I've remove some fileds due to security. All fields in the smdl do not contain drill.
Issue: When I created calculated field in the report builder the field has a link. When I clicked the drill I saw all the record data including field that not in the smdl.
Questions:
1) Can I remove the link from the calculated fields?
2) Can I prevent from users drill to fields that not in the smdl?
Thanks,

Dynamic Refresh Of Report Model In The Report Builder

could it even be using code with any of the interfaces?
When we add a table or add a column to the table in database , will the report model get refreshed automatically or do we need to do it externally. If so, can we use any of the objects and write a custom code in VB.

Converting Report Desinger Files To Report Builder
Oct 6, 2007Hi
I am working on Report builder project and was wondering if somone can help me with below questions
Is it possible to convert RDL files built in report designer to Report Builde RDL file? if yes then is there any tool or we will have to do it manually. I have also seen that there is no SQL in RDL files created in Report Builder.
If above is not possible then my second question is if we can only copy the layout but as we have got 1000 RDL files in built by report desinger how can we automatically convert this into layout in Report Builder.
Does Microsoft has any specific tools for this?
Will highly appreciate for any help on above.
Thanks

View 6 Replies View RelatedReport Builder Report Models On Top Of Analysis Services
Jul 18, 2007Hi,
Is anyone using Report Builder via a Report Model generated from Analysis Services in production?
From what I have seen on the Forum people have done this from books, but it is not clear as to whether they have used it at work, in production. There do appear to be reports of some problems with the integration between the two, and with performance.
The attraction of Report Builder on top of Analysis Services is that we should only need to define measures, security, etc, once in the Cube, not twice, as we would if we had to use Report Builder on top of a relational source, alongside Cubes on Analysis Services.
What I would like to find out is:
1) If there is someone who has deployed Report Builder on top of both a relational data source and Analysis Services. If so, which has been taken up best by the users?
2) How does the navigation in Report Builder work with Cubes. It seems a little bizarre in that you can only drill down, never up. Is there any way around this. Do you need to design the Cube specifically to support the Report Model? If so how?
3) The generation of the report model is easy. However, is there any way to control this, or to edit it later?
4) We have had problems with Report Models on relational sources where changes have invalidated the Report Model and all reports built on it. Can similar problems arise, for example, if you change the Cube and then Re-Generate the Report Model?
5) Are there any other issues around Report Builder. The two I have found so far seem to be Hidden Dimensions showing up, and Report Builder not working if measures are defined as non-aggregatable.
6) Are there any other end-user adhoc reporting products which work better with Analysis Services?
Regards
Paul
