Is there a way to display an existing KPI tile on a paginated report, without re-creating it using "report items"?
Display existing KPIs on a Paginated Report
KPIs Related Content
Is there a way to link a paginated report to a KPI? There are only two options in the "related content": Mobile Reports & Custom URL.
Yes, we can copy paste the URL of a paginated report, but this link is not dynamic. If the report gets renamed or moved to a different folder, the URL would stop working.
Any workaround to make it dynamic?
Report Manager Content Grouping
On SSRS 2016 Report Manager, different contents are grouped by their type "KPIs", "Paginated Reports", "Mobile Reports", "Folders", etc.
I have 40 different KPIs created in a folder. I want to re-arrange/re-organize them by grouping different KPIs together and displaying them in the same folder, without creating several sub folders.
Is there any workaround to create custom groupings within a folder?
Parent-Child RowGroup-ColumnGroup & Page Break Issue
SQL Server 2008 R2 and Report Builder 3.0
We have a matrix report that requires page breaks. The structure is something like the mock-up at the bottom.
- Row Group 1 is the logical parent of Column Group 1 in the data.
- Objective: Create a page break after each Row Group 1. Column Group 1 on each page should include only those values that are owned by Row Group 1.
- A page break was created on Row Group 1. This is working correctly except that it is creating a blank first page.
- Issue: Each page displays all values contained Column Group 1. We need Column Group 1 values to include only those owned by Row Group 1.
Thank you!
Can you tell me which SQL server edition and version is 9.00.1399.00?
The report parameter 'parametername' has a 'DefaultValue' or a 'ValidValue' that depends on the report parameter 'parametername'
I am working on an SSRS report (SS2008R2). I designed a report with one parameter. I gave it the datatype of integer. I set the available values to get values from a query and set it to a dataset which I wrote for that specific purpose, which returns"ParameterNameID" as a value field and "Parameter" as a label field. I have no Default values. On Advanced Refresh Data when parameter changes is set for always refresh.
When I attempt to display the result in the Preview table of BIDS, I get the error
The report parameter 'parametername' has a 'DefaultValue' or a 'ValidValue' that depends on the report parameter 'parametername'. Forward dependencies are not valid.
This is baffling as I am not trying to do cascading parameters or anything like this. The parameter is being called by the SQL query, rather than using it to filter the returned dataset, but I've done this before in many instances and never had this issue. I am not referring to the parameter anywhere else. I view many posts concerning this error message and most of them seem to refer to someone having multiple parameters using and calling them in the wrong order or trying to use the one parameter in evaluating another parameter. As stated I only have one.
Does anyone see a possible cause for this issue.
I should mention I made this report by copying another report then making changes to the dataset, to the returned fields, and to the parameters. I did several builds before trying to preview the report so anything like left over unviewed compiled code should not be an issue.
Update as of just now a few minutes after this post was created: I deleted the parameter. I then opened the query window of the main dataset. I ran the report query there. It returned the list to be used to populate the report just fine. When I clicked the OK button, the Report Designer added the specified parameter. When I tried to preview the report at this point, the report previewed just fine. Then I opened the report and added available values as stated above. Then the report went back to displaying the same error. The dataset populating the available values makes no mention of the parameter.

Using a multi parameter with OR to determine visibility
Hi,
I have a parameter that controls the visibility of may tables. I am having trouble getting the expression correct as it needs to be like this:
If parameter contains 'this value' OR 'this value' then true,false.
I know I need to use Instr(Join somehow. This is what I have so far:
=IIf(InStr(Join(Parameters!SortBy.Value, ","), "c") > 0 or
Parameters!SortBy.Value = "Subject",false, true)
What have I got wrong!?
Thanks is advance!
Am I the higher priority customer in this forum?

SSRS 2016 Mobile Reports / SSAS 2016 Tabular Model Calculated Measures do not Show Correct Value on a Guage
We created a tabular model on SSAS 2016 that includes a calculated ratio measure: SUM(X)/SUM(Y). We tested the model by connecting it from Excel PivotTable, PowerView, PowerPIVOT and SSRS Paginated report. In all these tools we were able to get the correct value calculated for this measure on all grouping levels.
Now we created a dataset that includes this calculated measure with other dimensions and measures. We created an SSRS 2016 mobile report and we connected the report to this dataset.
We added a Guage to the report layout, and we associated the Guage with this ratio (calculated measure). Unfortunately, this yields always incorrect results. After few investigations, we found that the problem is that mobile reports gauges force you to choose an aggregate function for the measure: SUM, AVG, LAST... etc and there is no NONE option available as in other BI tools to handle calculated measures!!!
This means that we will never be able to display this calculated measure value correctly on Mobile reports!!!
A KPI will not solve the issue either.
For us this is a real problem as we have so many of those calculated measures in our model.
Guys, is there a problem in this area??!!
What is the solution??

Power BI App - Reporting Services is Crashing

Render a report with Avaialbe Values and multiple parameters
I'm trying to create a report that has a parameter by [Title] that displays their position type and then a field that is in the same table that has their standard pay rate. From there I wanted to create a parameter that has hours they have worked, eg, 1,2,3, etc. I'm trying to display their name and pay and with the second parameter choose how many hours they have worked.
I did this for one set of values but I want it for multiple values.
If I have multiple values chosen for the Title - how can I choose multiple values for Hours worked?
Cannot re-add deleted Header row to tablix in SSRS 2012?
Hello, I am stuck on this seeminly small issue. I am using SSRS 2012 RC0 in Visual Studio 2010 sp1 to build this tabular report. I had inadvertantly removed the initial header row from my tablix before adding numerous nested groupings to move the column headers to the header section so they would show up on each page. I would like to reverse that decision, but I seem to be unable to now re-add that header row back to my tablix. In older versions of SSRS, I was able to right click on the table and then click on insert row-->Header row but that does not seem to be possible in ssrs 2012.. I tried adding a outer row to my top most grouping, but that option was grayed out.
Please advise how I can add my header row back to my table.
thanks!
SSRS export to pdf - Adobe window pops up: Reading Untagged Document.
Some, but not all, of my reports - when I export them to a pdf and open the pdf I get this very annoying popup window titled "Reading Untagged Document" and the description says
"This 20-page document is untagged and must be prepared for reading. While the document is being analyzed, your assistive technology will not be able to interact with this application."
I have created tons of reports since the beginning of SSRS and have not seen this until this past year or so. This is not appropriate for my clients to have to deal with. any idea how I can prevent this from popping up?
Thanks.
SSRS IF statement when calculating workdays between two dates
Good day
I am having trouble with an If statement:
=IIf(IsNothing(Fields!Procurement_Final_Approval_Date.Value)
,
If Fields!Procurement_Final_Approval_Date is Blank - (it displays Error in the report field):
(DateDiff(DateInterval.day, Fields!Created.Value, Today())+1)
- (DateDiff(DateInterval.WeekOfYear,Fields!Created.Value,Today())*2)
- IIF(Weekday(Fields!Created.Value,1) = 1,1,0)
- IIF(Weekday(Fields!Created.Value,1) = 7,1,0)
- IIF(Weekday(Today(),1) = 1,1,0)
- IIF(Weekday(Today(),1) = 7,1,0)
,
Else - (This section is working and displays a value)
(DateDiff(DateInterval.day, Fields!Created.Value, Fields!Procurement_Final_Approval_Date.Value)+1)
- (DateDiff(DateInterval.WeekOfYear,Fields!Created.Value,Fields!Procurement_Final_Approval_Date.Value)*2)
- IIF(Weekday(Fields!Created.Value,1) = 1,1,0)
- IIF(Weekday(Fields!Created.Value,1) = 7,1,0)
- IIF(Weekday(Fields!Procurement_Final_Approval_Date.Value,1) = 1,1,0)
- IIF(Weekday(Fields!Procurement_Final_Approval_Date.Value,1) = 7,1,0)
)
Full expression:
=IIf(IsNothing(Fields!Procurement_Final_Approval_Date.Value) , (DateDiff(DateInterval.day, Fields!Created.Value, Today())+1) - (DateDiff(DateInterval.WeekOfYear,Fields!Created.Value,Today())*2) - IIF(Weekday(Fields!Created.Value,1) = 1,1,0) - IIF(Weekday(Fields!Created.Value,1) = 7,1,0) - IIF(Weekday(Today(),1) = 1,1,0) - IIF(Weekday(Today(),1) = 7,1,0) , (DateDiff(DateInterval.day, Fields!Created.Value, Fields!Procurement_Final_Approval_Date.Value)+1) - (DateDiff(DateInterval.WeekOfYear,Fields!Created.Value,Fields!Procurement_Final_Approval_Date.Value)*2) - IIF(Weekday(Fields!Created.Value,1) = 1,1,0) - IIF(Weekday(Fields!Created.Value,1) = 7,1,0) - IIF(Weekday(Fields!Procurement_Final_Approval_Date.Value,1) = 1,1,0) - IIF(Weekday(Fields!Procurement_Final_Approval_Date.Value,1) = 7,1,0) )Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Bonavista Charts
Hi Everyone,
We used to have Bonavista micro charts for SSRS 2005 and they normally render very quickly even with 200 micro charts on the report. As of now we are trying to migrate all our reports to SSRS 2012 and unfortunately we do not have bonavista supported for SSRS 2012. We tried using SSRS micro charts instead of Bonavista and the performance seems to be slow compared to bonavista charts. Is there any way we could implement any other micro charts which will give some faster performance.
Regards,
Ashwin Vasudevan
KPI Description missing from Power BI App SQL Reporting Services
I'm unable to view KPI descriptions through Power BI SQL Reporting Services. The related content however appears.
Is it the Power BI App limitation or a bug?

how to pass a parameter to ssrs 2016 mobile reports
Hi,
Can anyone point to the documentation (or other resources) for passing a parameter to SQL Server 2016 mobile reports in a url?
I have found no examples of syntax, unless it can be assumed that it is exactly the same as paginated report.
Thanks
SQL server 2016 mobile reports - personalise user querys
Hello, we have embedded the mobile dashboards into our existing asp.net app with an iframe and it works well but we are unable to pass the username from the url (&UserId) into the dashboard dataset to retrieve only their data. In ssrs you could use the logged in username in the dataset.
Here is a similar post on this issue
If anyone knows if this functionality will be available in the future that would be great
Thanks
