Hi,

I came across a SQL 2000 instance with a report server database on it - looking at the execution log storage I can see that its still being used and running the following query tells me that the connections are coming from the same server:

SELECT hostname, * FROM sysprocesses WHERE dbid = DB_ID('ReportServer')

but I cant find the SSRS instance in the services -

Did it work differently with SQL 2000? 

How can I find the report manager URL?

Thanks,

Zoe

Hi Everyone,

I have created a matrix report having  "Probability"  in Row and "Impact" in Column  and "Risk ID" in Data Part .

                Now the problem which I am facing is I need to fill matrix with different color value based on combination of Probability and Impact 

I am able to write the expression in "Fill" area of "Risk_ID" text boxbut the problem is only those text box gets colored which are having Risk-Id value in it like shown below.I want all text box to be colored even if no Risk_Id is there in any text box.

If anyone  has any idea ,please let me know in writing the correct logic so that all text box gets colored even if there is no Risk _Id in it.

Any help will be greatly appreciated

I have a report in which I have assigned custom colors with a function to one of my stacked column charts. When I run it in the report builder, the colors are correctly placed, but as soon as I upload the report to the server and view the report from there, the colors get swapped. I have these custom colors applied to other stacked column charts in the report and they work perfectly fine. The only difference between this chart and my other charts is that it contains two category groups. Is anyone aware as to why this is happening? Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Alright, I have gotten it to display the correct colors by using a function with the colors I wanted in reverse. I have two values, "Upcoming" which is displayed in red, and "Outstanding" which is displayed in blue. If the chart has only upcoming values, it will display in blue rather than red, whereas if I have upcoming and outstanding values, they will display in their correct colors. Any reason as to why this is occurring?

Hi Everybody,

I have a report with a chart that utilizes both colors and background patterns to distinguish various pieces of data. The background patterns work great (they are very clear and provide excellent contrast) when viewed in the report viewer or printed straight from the report viewer.

However, when I export to PDF, the background patterns become compressed and small, almost to the point of being too small to distinguish that there is a pattern at all. The result ends up being what appears to be just a different shade of the background color. This is particularly a problem when you then print the PDF on paper, since hatching patterns are similar to how printers create different shades in the first place.

I am somewhat suspicious that this might have to do with resolution settings for PDF exports. If I could lower the resolution, perhaps the patterns would not become so tight and compressed. Below are examples of what I'm describing:

Thanks for any info or suggestions you can provide.

Hi All,

Hi,

I want to bookMark from one table to another in current report. Below are the 2 tables , when I select a

FromBrandName in the first table, it should take me to the second table row with the same

FromBrandName. Is this possible? Is there a function  to access a specific running value other than First andLast?

Hey Folks,

When exporting SSRS 2008 R2 report  to an csv or excel file not all the rows are being exported. Any suggestions on why this is occurring. The number of rows is less then 500 and it seems to be a pretty straight forward export. Any help is greatly appreciated.  Inherited this and not sure if this would be configuration issues or something else. It is happening on a number of reports.

Thanks.

Hello all,

a customer would like to show speech bubbles with a short text above some bars in a bar chart (similar to the image shown below). Is this possible with SSRS? If yes could you give me some pointers?

Thanks in advance and best regards,

Hi,

I am creating a report with a Matrix and this report contain a collapse Matrix which it toggle from a certain field.

Now I am having two issue:

First issue is that when I set visibility to hide and that the matrix can be toggle by a field is leaving a very unaesthetic  space between rows.

I am attaching a picture to explain.

The second problem is that when I toggle the field I would like another part of the report to hide.

Does it exists anything that would allow me to define an expression I can use in the visibility that I Can use to make disappear this part of the report when the + has been toggle and make it appear back when the - has been toggle?

Thanks in advance

It seems the features are disabled when using any of the above because of compatibility issues with scripting/ActiveX not being properly supported by the FireFox and Chrome.

I believe the control determines the browser you are using is not IE and will not render the controls to prevent unexpected behavior because if the lack of ActiveX support. This can be seen when you compare the HTML of a page using IE8 and that of either IE11, FF, Chrome you'll see that the HTML for a zoom drop down control will show up in the IE8 browser and not in the others.

As for IE11 it presents itself as a Mozilla browser. eg: "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/7.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko"so when the control see's this it wont generate any of the controls believing the browser can't support it, even though IE11 should certainly be capable of doing so. I wanted to know if this is correct and if this is a bug?

The page mentions that the following wont be supported by other browsers The following features are not supported in third-party browsers:

• Document map
• Searching within the report
• Zoom
• Fixed table headers
• The progress indicator for report processing (a green spinning wheel) is not available for server reports, or for locally processed reports that are configured for asynchronous processing.

Hi All,

In a bar chart, we are using the LargeCheckerBoard as the pattern style in series properties > fill. It is showing correctly on the browser but if we export to PDF, this style(checks) are getting small and different from what shown on the browser. Could you please help me on this, is there any workaround for this? 

Using SSRS 2014

Thank you.

I've created an SSRS report in Report builder and I'm displaying it in SharePoint 2010.

What I would need to do is to sort according to my totals -column.

My report structure is as follows:

The first and column second columns are the ID and the name of a customer. There are over 35.000 consolidated customers in the database.

The third column is the column which I would like my report to be sorted upon. It gives the sum (Amount_EUR) of all different productlines sold to the customer.

The fourth column in this report design model is the product groups sold to that customer. There over twenty of product groups visible when Running the report.

This is what my report looks like when finished(you'd have to scroll a lot to the right if I took the whole of the report so I cut only a part of it to be visible, but I think you'll get the idea):

---

I tried to add a sorting option from the reports Tablix properties and adding this code as the sorting function:
=SUM(Fields!Amount_EUR.Value)
but I'm getting an error:  "A sort expression for the tablix 'Tablix1' includes an aggregate function.  Aggregate functions cannot be used in data row sort expressions."
Ok, so no aggregate functions aren't allowed to the sort.

If I just put:
=Fields!Amount_EUR.Value and sort by that from Z to A(biggest to largest) it doesn't have any effect. The report is still sorted alphabetically by the ParentID.

I've also tried some other code bits, but they all seem to be saying that I couldn't put an aggregate function into the sort expression....but my Total -column is already calculated with a Sum -function....

So, to my final question;
Is it possible sort my report based on that Total -column? If yes, how is that possible?
