Hello

I have SQL Server 2012 SP2 x64 Express Advanced Services installed on Windows 10 Pro 64 bit.

I cannot find the Report Builder download link for SQL Server 2012 SP2 x64 Express Advanced Services on Windows 10 Pro.

Shouldn't the Report Builder link be for SQL Server 2012 SP2 and x64 bit in order to work with SQL Server 2012 SP2 x64 Express Advanced Services on Windows 10 Pro 64 bit?

The only Report Builder 3.0 links I have found have been x86 (32 bit) and SP1.

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35576

Grateful for some help on this.

Regards

David.

We have an SSrS report that has a tablix cell with a textbox that is a hyperlink to another SSrS report.  We pass parameters to the report using the textbox properties>Action set to "Go to report" and setting the parameters to the value of a field and a parameter as shown below.  We want to set action to "Go to URL" and to pass these variable parameter values in the URL.  How is that done?  How would that be coded, say if the url ishttps://my.reports.com/ssrs/newreport?  Thanks for the help.

Hi we run 2014 enterprise.  I have a report that has a lot of demographic info like region etc followed by 4 YTD figures a,b,c,d(columns are static) , followed by a column grouping on this qtr.'s months (eg JAN FEB MAR) broken down also into 4 values a,b,c,d all followed finally by 7 figures that are qtd figures (STATIC).  Is the best practice for this kind of thing 3 tablix or 1?  I can picture 3 side by side.  But for 1, I'm not sure if i'd have to repeat the static values on every month's record?

SSRS, rsreportserver.config, open report in excel, but need raw data, not duplicate of report output

November 23, 2015, 2:17 pm

Hello, We are about to implement SSRS reports (SQL Server 2012), and have found one issue we don't like. The report looks great when we open it in pdf format. However, when we open it in Excel format, we want it to be the raw data, not look like the pdf report. I tried the simpl headers, and that removed the page header/footer. However, the report format was still in play.

In other words, we would like the report when opened in Excel, to look just like it does when we open it as a CSV.

I have tried to modify the config file a couple of times. Here is my latest attempt:

<Extension Name="CSV" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.DataRenderer.CsvReport,Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataRendering">
    <OverrideNames>
     <Name Language="en-US">CSV (comma delimited)</Name>
    </OverrideNames>
   </Extension>
   <Extension Name="CSV" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.DataRenderer.CsvReport,Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataRendering">
    <OverrideNames>
     <Name Language="en-US">Excel (csv)</Name>
    </OverrideNames>
   </Extension>

Essentially I have set Visible = "false" for the Excel type, and tried to duplicate the CSV, changing the name to make it look to the user like it is "Excel". This fails.

I checked the event viewer, and I see two entries:

The RSReportServer.config file has been modified. (Information)
The value for UrlRoot in RSReportServer.config is not valid. The default value will be used instead. (Warning)

I literally took the file, opened it in Notepad, pasted in my changes, from another notepad window, and tried to run the report.

I did not see EITHER of the two names I expected, using the OverrideNames tag.

As I said earlier, I was able to affect the outcome, by setting SimpleHeaders to true (or however it is identified). That did work in that the page header and footer was removed.

How to insert a really long string into SSRS text box

November 23, 2015, 2:24 pm

I need to construct a really long string in a text box in SSRS, but there seems to be a limit at around 4,600 characters, or ~9,200 bytes, assuming characters are encoded with UTF-16.

I don't understand where this limit comes from. MSDN says that "While an individual quoted string cannot be longer than 2048 bytes, a string literal of roughly 65535 bytes can be constructed by concatenating strings." Even if SSRS used UTF-8, I would expect the limit to be around 2,000 characters according to the above quote.

Does anyone know how I can get around this limitation in SSRS? Is there any way to construct a longer string in a text box?

Row totals on a multi-column pivot?

Hi,

Building on my other question, https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/1e344d32-1f42-41d2-b835-52397ad347b3/multicolumn-pivot?forum=sqlreportingservices.

I want to add totals at the end of the rows of some of the fields.  Using the subtotal function of matrix didn't work, just left most of them blank. 

I tried adding a text box to the right of the matrix, like I did for the row labels.  But I couldn't figure out how to reference the data set.  So I'm stumped... again.

Can anyone suggest a strategy that works?

Thanks in advance,

Hi

I am having issues connecting to SSRS 2005 on one server and I have very little experience with it.

The error says 

The Forms extension failed to read its configuration settings from the RSReportServer.config configuration file. The extension is not available to users.

It rectifies itself after a while.

Does anyone have any idea where to look for the issue?

Hi,

I am designing a report in SSRS 2012 -

Matrix Report -

Section |    A    |   B   |    C | Total

-----------------------------------------

LEV1        12        0        9  | 21

LEV2        10        1        8  | 19

------------------------------------------

Tot:         22        1        17 | 40

I created a sub-report which is linked to the Count(ID) - values field. When I click on the counts it should take me to sub report which shows details of all students enrolled - ID, Names etc

My problem is that , the sub report shows whole table details instead of just showing for specific sections.

Any help/suggestions/ideas are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

I'm trying to set up a report with a webserice as a data source. The web service requires parameters to be specified as a nested XML tag.

e.g. I can successfully query the following using SOAPUI -

                    
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:ns="http://tempuri.org"><soap:Header/><soap:Body><ns:GetDetails><ns:req><ns:AgentID>965</ns:AgentID></ns:req></ns:GetDetails></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>


However when I try to  generate this in Reporting services Data set I cannot recreate the <req> tag - If I omit it. I get an error from the web-service. Is there a way to insert the <req> tag into the query?

<Query><Method Name="GetDetails" Namespace="http://tempuri.org"><Parameters><Parameter Name="AgentID"><DefaultValue>965</DefaultValue></Parameter></Parameters></Method></Query>

I have 5 Parameters created in my report.

1, 2 and 3 parameter are text inputs. 4th is multi-value parameter and 5th is again a text input. I need to Pass a blank parameter to my 5th parameter.

1) I tried the below Expression in the "UploadedEnt" DataSet Properties and not in the "Main" DataSet.

=IIF(Parameters!UploadedEntiParam.Value ="",Nothing,Parameters!UploadedEntParam.Value)
I have taken the actual sql query (file) and I have just placed the select statement. 
DataSet Name: UploadedEnt
select distinct UploadEnt
from
(

SELECT DISTINCT col1, col2...
....) Ent
Order by 1

OR logic has been applied in the Tablix Properties Filters as an expression.
=Fields!value1.Value like Parameters!value1Param.Value Or Fields!value2.Value like Parameters!value2Param.Value Or Fields!value3.Value like Parameters!value3Param.Value Or Fields!value4.Value = Parameters!value4Param.Value(0) Or Fields!UploadEnt.Value = Parameters!UploadedEntParam.Value
Filter: Expression = TRUE
2) I tried applying NULL check box which works perfectly but I do not want to apply that here.
How to Pass a Blank Parameter? I help would be appreciated.

I am experiencing some discrepancies when viewing my report in Visual Studio versus in the Report Manager.

Is Visual Studio, when previewing under both page layouts, my report margins appear to reflect what I set under the report properties when printed out.

When I upload to the report manager, preview, then print, the margins (top, bottom, left, and right) all appear to have increased by one quarter of an inch. Also, the font sizes appear slightly different.

The number of pages displayed when viewed in ReportViewer and in exported PDF are differing. Eg: 50 records are shown in one single page of Report Viewer. But when Exported to PDF 45 records come in page 1 and the remaining come in page 2.

Soution Tried: 1)Removed Top and Bottom Margins. 2)Reduced "Interactive Page Size" to match the page count. But it is not consistent, as it is behaving differently with different number of records.

Can anyone tell me how should I proceed to achieve sync between the ReportViewer and exported PDF ?

ssrs print report on both sides on same document

November 24, 2015, 11:23 am

In a new ssrs 2008 report that uses sql server 2012, I am suppose to create a report that prints on both sides of the same paper. The first side of the report will display custom data with a mailing address for the customer.

The second side (back side of the paper) will contain generic information. The second side of the paper will contain areas for the users within my large company to fill out and return to the user via inter-office mail.

Thus my question is can this happen in an SSRS 2008 report to print in a PDF and/or Word document on both sides of the paper? If this is possible would you tell me if the paper needs to be exported to PDF, Word, or if this can on both format(s)? If so, would you tell me and/or point me to  a reference that will tell me how to accomplish this goal?

If this is not possible in SSRS 2008, is printing on both sides of the paper possible in ssrs 2008 r2 or ssrs 2012? If so, would you tell me what version of ssrs report would work, and if the print (export) needs to  be a PDF, Word, or either format?  If so, would you tell me and/or point me to  a reference that will tell me how to accomplish this goal?

If printing on both sides of a paper is not possible, would you tell me if you have any alternative suggestions I can use?
