Hey all,

I'm just looking for the best way to let my end users to view and run reports on demand from SSRS and interact with the parameters before running. Please let me know if there's a better tool for this. Right now, our outside IT company is saying that there's not a way to provide access to the web portal without enabling admin rights locally for the users, which we can't do for everyone that we want to access these files.

Our SQL Server and SSRS are hosted on premises, which probably complicates things somewhat. We really only want to use this for users on our local network though. Does anyone have any ideas or workarounds for this situation?

Hi All,

I am observing differences in the way font colors are rendered between Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Firefox.

I have discovered this can be resolved by changing the way the Font color is specified when creating the report.

If the Report.rdl file XML tag for Font color reads: <Color>Blue</Color>, only Internet Explorer properly renders the text in Blue. Chrome and Firefox do not.

If the Report.rdl file XML tag for Font color reads: <Color>"=Blue"</Color>, all three browsers properly render the text in Blue.

In order to do this, I must use the F(x) expression editor to choose my color. Typically we take the lazy way out and choose directly from the palette, which encodes it the way of my first example.

We are running SSRS 2017, Visual Studio 2017 on Windows 10.

Any ideas? Is anyone else observing this behavior?

Thanks for your help.

Hello,

I'm using IIF with InStr to test for a "/" in a field on a report. The left function works fine unless I try to subtract 1 from it. This code works fine:

=IIF(InStr(Fields!WellCompName.Value,"/")=0, Fields!WellCompName.Value, left(Fields!WellCompName.Value,InStr(Fields!WellCompName.Value,"/")))

But this code causes the True condition to yield #Error in the report when I add the -1 to the end of the left function:

=IIF(InStr(Fields!WellCompName.Value,"/")=0, Fields!WellCompName.Value, left(Fields!WellCompName.Value,InStr(Fields!WellCompName.Value,"/")-1))

I do need -1 to remove the "/" but it doesn't work with IFF and LEFT.

Thanks

I have a Sales Order Report that essentially has 3 "tiers"... The Sales Order (Group 1), the Line Item (Group 2), and the Releases (Table 1 Details Group). Each Sales Order can have multiple Line Items, and each Line Item can have multiple Releases. Each Release can have it's own Ship To Address, so I have a total of 9 text boxes stacked on top of each other for each line of the address of the Release rectangle. But most addresses don't use all 9 lines... So when I run the report (PDF) I'm left with large white spaces after each release... Is there any way to get rid of that?

I tried attaching a few screenshots, but it won't let me... Please Help!!

I have 2 datasets and one tablix. In the [ClaimantAddress] dataset, I have an [AddressType] field with either Residence or Mailing address.

CLAIMS dataset = CLAIMID, FIRSTNAME, LASTNAME, CLAIMANTID fields

CLAIMANTADDRESS dataset = CLAIMANTID, ADDRESSTYPE, ADDRESS, CITY, STATE, ZIPCODE fields and a calculated field FULLADDRESS.

The tablix main is the CLAIMANTADDRESS column grouped by ADDRESSTYPE field. I use JOIN/LOOKUP SET to display data from the CLAIMS dataset.

The report looks like this:

Claim ID#	First Name	Last Name	Claimant ID	Mailing Address	Residence Address
123, 124, 125	A, A, A	B, B, B	1111	17 Giotto Dr	17 Giotto Dr

But is there a way for me to display the data into separate rows like this:

Claim ID#	First Name	Last Name	Claimant ID	Mailing Address	Residence Address
123	A	B	1111	17 Giotto Dr	17 Giotto Dr
124	A	B	1111	17 Giotto Dr	17 Giotto Dr

How is it possible that my SQL Server Stored Procedure passes back the correct result set but the Report on Report Manager Portal is filtering out the report detail?

Andddddd if I run for the specific parameters for those missing report rows, then it comes up and appears in the report!

So when I (Select All) they do not appear...but if I Select the specific Parameters, it does come up!

There is no report filtering...no SSRS Dataset filtering

What am I missing here?!?!?

Dear reader,
I have a requirement for our invoice report in SSRS. The invoice date has to be multi language. So if the invoice is in German, it should show "den 17. Märch 2019", English should show "17th March 2019" and so on.
Is there a way, besides creating a huge Switch list, to get the name of the month translated?

I already tried using the language and calendar properties, but no cigar yet.

Any ideas?
Thanks for thinking along with me,

Hi,

I have one table which contains entered calls for employees.Grouped by hour and date.I have column Average Weekdays,which should returns me the average value for weekdays without saturday and sunday.I use this expression :

=iif(weekday(Fields!DATE_YYYYMMDD.Value,2)<>6 and 7,avg(Fields!N_ENTERED.Value),0)

------<>6 and 7 not in Saturday and Sunday,but doesn't work in this case. --------

I understand that i should received the result average for weekdays,but my report returns me result with saturdays and sundays.

In other expression the things are similarly.(Average Saturdays and Average Sundays).

=iif(weekday(Fields!DATE_YYYYMMDD.Value,2)=6,avg(Fields!N_ENTERED.Value),0) ---6 is saturday ---

=iif(weekday(Fields!DATE_YYYYMMDD.Value,2)=7,avg(Fields!N_ENTERED.Value),0) ---6 is sunday---

1) When I am exporting to Excel, I would like to insert some comment in the some cells in the Excel (comment like where you see a red dot in each cell in Excel, and when mouse over you can see comment of this cell)

2) Is there anyway to put a filter to the header after export to Excel?

Hi,

I'm attempting to set up SQL Server Reporting Services on one of my environments. The architecture is:

Database Server: SQL Server 2014 hosting my databases as well as the ReportServer / ReportServerTempDB databases
SSRS Server: SQL Server 2014 with just SSRS installed, hosting the web front end

I created a new SSRS database using the SSRS configuration manager.

When I log into the website on the local machine (http : // localhost/reports), I'm prompted for my credentials once and once I authenticate (domain\username), everything works as expected. However, when I attempt to access the server remotely (either http or https : // reportserver.domain.com/reports) I'm prompted for my credentials at least 12 times. If I keep re-entering them, the SQL Server Reporting Services Home folder/website will eventually re-appear, but if I try to navigate, I'm once again prompted for my credentials.

I did some research and verified that my AuthenticationTypes in the rsreportserver.config file was set to only RSWindowsNTLM.

Additional environment info: both servers are hosted on AWS, and we are using an ELB to access the SSRS webserver. I'm using IE11 to attempt web access.

Thanks!
