dont want to lose row grouping totals when expanding row groups

$
0
0
Hi.  We run 2012 enterprise.  For whatever reason (maybe cuz I said no new hdgs on each row group definition), my report design pane shows all row groupings on the same design row.  I'm wishing now that I'd developed it the other way where in the design mode u see each row grouping on its own row.  That way I could still see row grouping totals even after expanding them.  Can I do this easily with what I have?  And not have to redo everything? 

Grouping only shows first value!

I'm trying to add a grouping in my Report Builder report. 

I'm doing a lookup and I can return the appropriate data in the rows as long as I don't group. 

Once I try to go through all the grouping I just get the first value then where it should change it doesn't. 

I'm sure it's something I'm doing wrong but don't know what.

Hello,

In report builder 1, Total Rows and Filter Description were automatically generated and placed at the bottom of the report.

How can I do that in Report Builder 3? I know that there a Built-In fields but Filter Description is not one of them.

Hi All,

The user is unable to access the Report Builder (this is our main problem), but also all users which we can login as, don't haveSite Settings link available.

The failing user was added to BUILTIN\Administrators group transitively through the group membership and explicitly. Also, the group which host the failing user is added to the Security\Logins in the SQL Management Studio.

Question: how to determine who has access to the Site Settings in the Report Manager?




"My Reports" directory is not available in SSRS 2016 Report Manager

$

I have an SSRS instance that doesn’t show “My Reports” directory in the report manager. When I try to navigate to the “my reports” directory via address bar in web browser, it gives me an error telling “The folder ‘My Reports’ does not exist. It could have been renamed, moved, or deleted”. Refer below.

However the “My reports” directory is available/rather visible at “Report Server” and in the Save dialog of the report designer (in report designer it is totally possible to save reports into My Reports without any interruption). Refer below.

Although I have enabled the “My Reports” option and the user has permissions granted. Refer below.

MS SQL Version: 2016

Reporting services version: 13.0.1601.5

Considering all above I think this should be sort of a (known) issue in SSRS 2016 or I’m missing a configuration in my report manager. I’d really appreciate if someone could help me with this.

Kind regards,

Isuru

When a time chart is added to a mobile report and data structure is set to "rows", there are no aggregates available.

However, when data structure is changed to "columns', the aggregates are available.

Data Structure = Columns

Data Structure : Rows

The underlying datatable column NETSALES has datatype numeric (38,12).

When creating Mobile Report Charts with values display mode set to "value on chart, percentage on legend". The formatting of percentage is off on the preview. 

However, the values percentage on chart, value on legend is working correctly.


To my surprise, it displays correct formatting when deployed and ran on report manager 2016.

Incorrect syntax near [comma] - for multi-value parameter

$
0
0

I need to get this report to pull either the value(s) entered into the multi-value parameter box, or else the user leaves the default option of ALL which pulls all the data for that field.

My coding for this is as follows:
(PROJECT IN (@PROJECT) OR @PROJECT = 'ALL')

I really can't figure out what the problem is, and would appreciate any suggestions. If I break it up and try to isolate either side, they both work just fine -- just not when combined with the OR.

By this I mean:

PROJECT IN (@PROJECT) works just fine by itself, for one or for two values entered
@PROJECT = 'ALL' works just fine by itself as well

And in fact, (PROJECT IN (@PROJECT) OR @PROJECT = 'ALL') works when 'ALL' is selected, and it also works when the user enters a single value in the @PROJECT parameter box, but when I try to enter TWO values (which will need to happen) I get the "Incorrect syntax near ',' " error.

I figure it has to be something to do with the values entered being combined into a string and separated by commas, but I don't get how it works fine until you add an OR after it. I've tried every possible combination of parenthesis so I don't think that's the issue either. I've seen things involving joins or splits but none of those things seem to work in this case either.

PLEASE HELP! thank you : )

1. This is the goal of that report:


2. This is how I am configuring the report settings in the Wizard:


Here is the SQL query which was used in the original report:

SELECT CompName.Name0 as 'Computer Name', CompSys.model0 as 'Model', BIOS.SMBIOSBIOSVERSION0 as 'BIOS Version', CompSys.Manufacturer0 as 'OEM'
FROM V_R_System as Sys
LEFT JOIN V_GS_PC_BIOS as BIOS on Sys.resourceid = BIOS.resourceid
LEFT JOIN V_GS_COMPUTER_SYSTEM as CompSys on Sys.resourceid = CompSys.resourceid
LEFT JOIN V_GS_SYSTEM as CompName on Sys.resourceid = CompName.resourceid
WHERE

CompSys.Manufacturer0 LIKE @oem
AND CompSys.Model0 LIKE @model
AND BIOS.SMBIOSBIOSVERSION0 LIKE @bios

GROUP BY CompSys.Manufacturer0,CompSys.model0, BIOS.SMBIOSBIOSVersion0, CompName.Name0
ORDER BY CompSys.Model0, BIOS.SMBIOSBIOSVersion0

Could you please recommend what needs to be configured in order to get this:

Many thanks, in advance!

How to cancel a query running on back-end of an SSRS report?

$

0

Hello,

How can I cancel a query running on back-end (on SQL Server) of an SSRS report in SQL Server 2008 R2?  Just cancelling the report by closing the tab on the Reports Manager site does not actually cancel/kill the query; it is still running. The query may still be running due to a very large results set or a loop. I am not sure how to terminate the actual query that renders the report.

Please advise.

What is the best recommended solution design for a 2014 SSRS report to support multiple languages say english ,french,dutch and spanish ?

What is the best recommended solution design for a SSRS report to support multiple languages say english ,french,dutch and spanish ?

I would like to know if a SSRS report (which is e.g -user and his attributes report) has to support multiple languages what should be the database datamodel design sayI have user and his attributes in a table like age ,name gender?  .


Is there any detailed step by step implementation(even if high level its fine) done by anybody ?

Has Microsoft introduced any new functionality or report model to support these sort of reports in SSRS 2014?

Does the spanish ,english and other languages data for a user and his attributes should be stored in a separate report ?






Install of Mobile Report Publisher (Public Preview 4) failing on C++ redistributable

$

I'm trying to install the newest Microsoft SQL Server Mobile Report Publisher (Public Preview 4) from 4/19/2016 on a Windows 7 PC and I'm getting a prompt that the "Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 x86..." is required.  Yet it's present on the PC (along with the 32 and 64 bit versions from VS 2010, 2012, 2013 and 2015 - this is a development machine).  I've uninstalled and reinstalled the appropriate vcredist_x86.exe to no avail.

The previous Report Published installed fine - it's just this newest version I can't install.

I'd like to try the new Mobile Publisher but I'm stuck at this step ...

Sort Selection with parameter not working

$
0
0

Hi. I'm using Visual Studio 2016 Community to build SSRS reports.

I have a stored procedure which takes a column name argument (called SortKey), which is then used to re-sort a view based on that column. Some of the SortKey options are BranchName, BranchKey, BranchAddress, etc. It works fine in SSMS.

I built an SSRS report based on a dataset that connects to that sproc. I set up the SortKey parameter with Available Values and entered a short list for the user to select from. This created a drop-down list in the parameter section. The SortKey list displays fine and I can select one.

The baffling thing is, the report sorts every time on BranchName first and the selected SortKey second, no matter what I select. For example, if I select BranchAddress, it sorts on BranchName + BranchAddress. To debug this, I capture the value passed to the sproc by SSRS and it's exactly what it should be -- just BranchAddress. Again for debugging, I even disabled the sort code in the sproc so it was a fixed Address sort, and SSRSstill sorted on Name.

What could be causing this weird behavior?

VS 2015 SSRS Error: there are multiple root elements

I was trying to add a column to an existing report. I have just upgraded from VS 2013 to 2015 and it was the first task like that.

When I changed the report and tried to deployed it ewer version wasn't able to be deployed to an older SSRS version.

When I tried to preview I got below error and warnings:

  • Custom parameter layout was removed from the report. SQL Server 2014 Reporting Services and earlier do not support custom parameter layout.
  • [rsInvalidReportDefinition] The definition of this report is not valid or supported by this version of Reporting Services. The report definition may have been created with a later version of Reporting Services, or contain content that is not well-formed or not valid based on Reporting Services schemas. Details: Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 113933.
    Failed to build item

Step-by-step guide

I checked the SSRS version on all environments and it was the same.

Finally the issue resolved by following below steps:

1- Right click on the report in Solution Explorer and choose "View Code"

2- The first two lines of code looked like this:

(sorry I could't put the xml code because my account is not verified)

 The only thing which I changed was the 2010 to 2016 in the first line of code (right clicked on the report and 'view code') and then the file was saved and deployed successfully.
