In an SSRS 2008, I found that I can use the following value 'right(User!UserID,10)' as a parameter value to obtain the userid of the person running the ssrs 2008 report. However I would like to know where this userid comes from? is this from windows authentication?
Also I would like to know if there are other ways to obtain the userid for the person running the report? Would you tell me and/or point me to link(s) that will tell me how to obtain the userid from other methods?
Hi All,
I want to know if it is possible to export SSRS report in multiple workbooks.
E.g. If my main SSRS report (MainReport.rdl) consists of 2 sub-reports (Report1.rdl and Report2.rdl). And I wish to export them in two different workbooks (ReportExport1.xlsx and ReportExport2.xlsx).
I just need a confirmation if this is doable or not and if yes, then please let me know how.
Thanks in advance!
I have a general microsoft reporting software strategy question and a specific technical question i'm hoping to get advice on..
In the SSRS 2016 report manager/portal, would there be a visually appealing and scale-able way to add hyperlinks to reports that only live in SharePoint ? Specifically Excel Services reports.
We would have a "Sales Manager" area with KPIs, RDL's, Mobile Reports, & eventually Power BI reports, but then a group of Excel Services reports that live in our SharePoint environment ?
We have a 2016 SSAS Tabular Sales data model. Execs want the experience of Excel Pivot with SSAS connection of drilling from Location ->SalesPerson->Customer->Invoice, for location managers (using tabular RLS) to use BUT don't want to pay for ~300 desktop Excel licenses for these managers because we already get Excel Services with SharePoint.
Because SharePoint could be a "report manager" with Excel Services, & links back to any of the SSRS server objects, we're now thinking that be the central point place for users to see all their reports. Before the Excel services requirement, we were going to skip the SharePoint layer and funnel users directly in to SSRS 2016 report manager. I am concerned about the extra SharePoint security/maintenance layer though.
Hello- I am trying to figure out how to set a default sort for objects in the SQL Mobile Report Publisher. e.g. a Simple Data Grid.
My datasets are coming from our SSAS tabular cube and there doesn't seem to be an obvious way to sort the datasets at any point (in visual studio when creating the dataset, once it's on the report server, in the mobile report publisher Data tab, on the visual object, etc.)
Is the only option to change the design mode in visual studio Query Designer when creating the dataset, then add MDX to order by ? I would hate for that to be the only option because then we lose the simplicity of the drag and drop query designer, we're stuck editing MDX for on going maintenance.
Is there a tutorial on how to setup a SSRS 2016 dataset (for a mobile dashboard) that's connected to a 2016 SSAS Tabular data model, to use row level security ?
Currently I have row level security setup on the tabular model working perfectly if the user connects to the model in Excel.
Does anyone know how I should configure creating the dataset that uses the SSAS data model as a source ? And how I should configure the report server's connection to that data model ? I believe I want to pass a service account to the tabular model that has full read access, but also use the user name being passed for Row Level Security ?
Thanks !
The image below depicts the defect/result. Note the "Pass" series group on the graph is (correctly) represented by Green, but on the legend, the "Pass" series group is incorrecty represented by Blue.
If John also had a passing score, or Richard were ordered last, the above legend would render correctly. The legend would also render correctly if I used auto-color assignments, rather than a custom fill expression.
Here's the chart's basic configuration:
Here's the expression for the value fill color:
=SWITCH( Fields!F2.Value = "Pass", "Green", Fields!F2.Value = "Fail", "Red", true, "Blue" )
Here's the source data file, "sample.csv":
John, Fail Richard, Pass Richard, Fail

Hi All,
Planning to upgrade our SQL Server 2008 R2 server to SQL server 2016. This will be side by side approach, so we will have a separate box for SQL server 2016. I'm planning to do the below steps,
1) Move the .rdl from SQL server 2008 R2 to SQL server2016 file system.
2) Open the .rdl in Visual studio 2015 and export it to report server 2016.
3) Recreate all the User permission in 2016 manually for all the report folder (suggest if any better approach).
Please let me know if you see any issues in the above approach.
Also, SQL server 2008 R2 is in Share point integrated mode. We are planning to install SQL server 2016 in native mode as Microsoft will be stopping the share point integrated mode in future.
Kindly let me know if you need more details.
Cheers
Jim
I have a column in an SSRS table that shows hours minutes and seconds. I would like to have a total column that shows the AVG of the hours, minutes, and seconds. How do I do that in SSRS? I also need to do the same for Median.
The data looks like this:
00:00:45
00:00:30
00:02:35
00:02:25
00:02:40
Hi there,
I have created the report using SSRS 2008 which has aMultiline text box, which should show the text in Justify format. Is there any way of getting the Justify format since its not there in SSRS 2008?
I have heard about Custom controls, could any one give me some more information on text justification in SSRS 2008 or custom controls?
Thanks
Sadaf
I need to justify the text of my textboxes (justify both left and right). SRS only has an option for left, center, and right.
Does anyone have a custom control that can do this or some tips, tricks, or ideas on how I can make the text justified?
Align the text in justified format.
Hello
I have to build multiple reports in SSRS consisting of a stacked column chart with multiple stacked columns.
I was able to do this and complete the charts (after initial confusion with primary and secondary axis).
However, whichever way I do it, the key on the chart displays each element twice.
The question is, is there any way to avoid the elements duplicating on the key for the chart:
I could hide the key and hard-code my own key at the top but I would rather avoid this and feel there is some simple solution I am missing (presumably due to the primary and secondary axis).
If I do not set elements to the secondary axis then it fixes the key but I end up with a single stacked column when I need two for each group.
Also lastly if I wanted a group to have more than 2 stacked charts is there no way to achieve this?
Thanks

Hi,
I wanted to know if there was any way of setting the SMTPAuthenticate in the RSReportServer.config file, so i could connect to a remote SMTP with username and password ?
I am using window 2003 system where smtp is not installed and i don't want to installed it.
If there is another way to change only in Rsreportserver.config file except pick up directory.
thanks in advance

Hi All,
We have an ability to set public access for datazen reports. Likewise, do we have any such property to set public access for SSRS2016 reports?
Thanks,
Julie
1. When the ssrs 2008 report is running, can sql server authentication be used for 'groups' of users? If so, would you show me how to setup these groups of users?
2. Also can there be individual user access within a group of users? For example if the 'group' is setup for 'Company X', can individual access be setup for each individual user within the group? Basically I would want each user to only have access to certain 'portions' of the reports? Would you show me the code and/or point me to links (urls) that will tell me how to accomplish this goal?

Hello there,
We have upgraded our server from SQL Server 2008 to SQL Server 2008 R2.
There are several reports deployed on the old server and I have been able to download them and upload them to the new server.
I have created a new BIDS project on the new server and have added the reports to BIDS.
However I am unable to open any of the reports in BIDS because they are referencing the old server's datasource.
When I try to preview a report it says:
"An error occurred during local report processing.
Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Program Files.....\Datasource1.rds'
How can I modify the datasource that a report uses in BIDS?
