Bug In Report Builder When Using Expression
I ran in to a strange problem in Report Builder. I drop a few fields from my Report Model on a simple talbe report. Some of them are straight forwards attributes and some of them are expressions.
Now in the table layout of a report I have say a attribute named as "Account Number". This attribute is actually a field from a table. I change the column header to a two line column header with Account? on one line and Number? on second line. No problem, piece of cake.
Now tried the same thing on an expression type attribute, say "Principal Balance". When I split the column header on two line I get this following error.
==============================================================
Semantic query compilation failed: e MeasureNotFound One of the SubtotalMeasures.MeasureName properties of the SemanticQuery refers to the Measure Expression 'Principal
Balance', which does not exist. (SemanticQuery '').
----------------------------
An error has occurred during report processing.
==============================================================
If you read the error you will realize that the query is trying to find an expression named "Principal" (newline char) "Balance" and it fails.
This expression is nothing but a sum aggregation on a field in the underlying table. If I put the "Principal Balance" back on one line report runs like a charm. Also note that exact same report in Designer no issues at all.
FYI: I am in SQL Server 2005 with SP2. (tried it both on Standard and Enterprise versions.)

Report Builder: How To Provide Parameter In The Report Generated Report Builder
Hi All, I have used Report Builder in one of the project for client. Is it possible to provide parameter in the report that is generated by Report Builder? It's quite the same with the parameter in usual Report/RDL (by Visual Studio). And is it possible to pass the UserID that is running the report to the Data Source View or directly to the query? Currently, I need to get the UserID of the user that runs the report to do some filtering of the data (in SQL Query). I can do this easily in the RDL file developed by Visual Studio, which I can use global parameter User!UserID and pass to query. I find difficulty to use SQL Execution Context (select USER_NAME(),SUSER_NAME()), because report needs to be run as certain account, so that the report can be subscribed by user (e.g. email subscription). How to pass this UserID to the query/data without end-user intervention in Report Builder? Thanks.

Expression Builder Question
Hi all of you, When you're making expressions with your own variables and system variables and so on. How could I see the contents for each variable? When you have an expression like this: "Cargas de Hacienda. " + SUBSTRING( @[System:ackageName], 7,20) + " " You can perfectly click above "Evaluated value" and see the resutl but I mean, individually over each variable on the variables listview is not possible. Thanks for any input or advice, Enric

String Parsing And Expression Builder....
I can't figure this one out. I don't have enough knowledge of the string functions I guess. I need to pull a value out of a variable I setup in a for each loop. The value is the filename/path of each source file being processed. Let's say the variable that has the source file path is called VAR1. One sort of off topic thing I've noticed is when watch the variable in bebug mode and I look at the value of VAR1 it has double back slashes. Here's an example of the value of VAR1: "\\L3KRZR6.na.xerox.net\C$\Documents and Settings\ca051731\Desktop\Project4\DPT_20070926.ver" How come the back slashes have been doubled? And do I need to account for that when I start parsing the string value? Anyway, I need to grab part of the filename from VAR1 and I need the value populated at the start of the for each loop container - ideally when I capture VAR1 in the for each container. I'll be using the string in drop table, create table and create index statements before the actual Data Flow task within the overall package In the above example I need to grab the characters before the underscore and after the last \. So I'd need the string "DPT" captured in this example. The actual string could be 1 to 3 characters long, even though this example has it as 3 long. Underscores could exist anywhere in the actual UNC path once this package is moved to our actual system environments so I can't key off of the underscore. Because I can't count on the string being a fixed lenght I can't just use a positional string function and grab specific text starting/ending at specific points. Is there a way to use the various string functions in the expression builder to grab the text between the right most underscore and the right most back slashes or something like that? Ideally I'd like to setup a new expression based packed scope variable called VAR2 and build it using string functions applied to VAR1.

I can open up this same package and use the Expression Builder just fine. Any ideas? Apologies if this has been answered already, I did many searches to try to find the solution before posting here.

Enabling Expression Builder For Custom SSIS DataFlow Source Component

But my component does not have the capability of setting the custom properties via the DTS Variables using the Expression Builder. I have looked around for samples on how to do this, but I can only find samples of how to do this for custom Control Tasks, i.e. IDtsTaskUI. My question is, How can implement the Expression Builder in my custom Source component + custom Source UI. Or do you know of any samples which I can look at. Thank you, Jameel.

Software / Other Requirements For Executing Report Manager And Report Builder On A Client Machine
Hi, I created an adhoc model using MSSQL Server 2005 and also created a report (based on that model using the Report Builder application on my machine which has both, VS 2005 (along with .Net Framework 2.0) as well as MSSQL 2005 Reporting Services installed. However, when I try to access my localhost from somebody else's machine, I am not able to do so. The machine from where I am carrying out this activity has the following credentials: The user is not an admin user No .Net Framework installed. (Hence when I click on Report Builder it asks me to install .Net F/w 2.0) No VS2005 installed No MSSQL 2005 Reporting Services installed. So can anybody please help me with the solution for the following queries?? Do I need to log in as the admin user, if I wish to view Reports from the Report Server? Is .Net F/w required on the client machine?? Please help Thanking you in advance Kind Regards Pratik

Possiblity / Instructions On How To Install Report Builder Locally Without Hitting Report Server
We have a remote business client who has a proxy server setup and this translates into receiving a 407 proxy authentication blocking error when attempting to download the report builder application for deployment off the report server which is housed locally with us. The proxy server does not allow them to download application type files off another site. At the moment, they would not like to disable the proxy for these users to allow them to deploy the application on their client or add the report server as a trusted site. Is there a method by which Report Builder can be locally installed on the client pc instead of online only with it knowing the correct report server to access and then still launch correctly when the report builder button is pressed through report manager? I am not a web application guru by any means and we have tried to replicate the oneclick deployment and what occurs in the local settings/apps/2.0 subdirectories, but the application still attempts to download/install again. If we attempt to just launch the local executable on the client, report builder assumes the client pc (localhost) is the report server to access. Is there a method which will succeed?

Report Builder Using Report Model Based On Linked Server (Excel) - Primary Key?
I've created a linked server with a pretty basic Excel spreadsheet, and used this command to create a linked server to it: sp_addlinkedserver ''XL_SPS_1', 'Excel', 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'c:MyExcel.xls', null, 'Excel 8.0' I want to use this as the data from which to build a report model. As linked servers don't show up in the Data Source View wizard, I created a view in SQL Server: create view MyExcel as select * from XL_SPS_1...Sheet1$ Okay, great, now the view shows up in the DSV wizard and I can create the data source view. However, when I create a new report model based on this data source view, the Report Model Wizard tells me at "Create entities for all tables" that I've got an error when it processes dbo_MyExcel that "Table does not have a primary key." I assume this is where the identifying attributes for the entities in the report model are taken from, so I really can't go further. Does anyone have an idea as to how to add a primary key to a linked server (Excel) in SQL 2005? Can this be done? Other than importing spreadsheet data to a SQL table, how can I get around this? Thanks, --Stan

Problem When Starting Report Builder With Report Path Launch Parameter
Hi, I'm having a problem with the Report Builder application; when I open Report Builder without parameters the application is working fine - I can create reports and save them in a folder I have access to on the Report Server. However, if I open Report Builder with the report path as a launch parameter to edit an existing report I run into some problems. I can still change and execute the report and save it (if I have publish-permissions to the folder/report), but if I try to use Save As to save the report somewhere else it does not work. The Save As dialog appears, but the "Look in" dropdownlist is empty, and the box below says "Loading...". If I try to press the "Folder up" button next to the dropdownlist an exception is thrown. It seems the Report Builder suddenly does not know which Report Server it is connected to.. I use e.g. https://<servername>/reportserver/reportbuilder/ReportBuilder.application?/BUs/Standard/testke as url to open Report Builder. BUs/Standard/testke is the report's path. Am I doing something wrong here? Thanks, - Kjetil

Restrict Report Builder Access To Report Execution Timeout
I am setting up the SQL2005 reporting service to let users build their own reports on the web. I'll provide them with pre-built report models. We have concern with SQL database performance by allowing users to execute huge reports. The problem that I have is: If I give the users permissions to build report they'll have access to the report's Properties | Execution page, which allows them to disable the report execution timeout. Is there a way for me to allow them build reports while restrict them to access the report execution timeout settings? Please advise. Many thanks.

Multiple 1:N Tables In Single Report Builder Report
The version of Report Builder I have will only let me choose from a very limited range of layouts. For example, the tabular layout displays a single table on a page. Is there a way to produce a report containing two tables and other fields? For example, I would like to create a very simple customer report with customer name and address at the top, then a table containing all contacts I have for the the customer (a 1:N sub-table of customer) and then a second table containing all the orders from the customer (a 1:N sub-table of customer). Is this possible in the current version of Report Builder or is it planned in a future relase? P.S. I know this is easy in VS Report Designer but I specifically want to do this in Report Builder. The Report Designer client is simply too complex for my non-technical user base. Report Builder would be ideal.

Report Builder Report Models On Top Of Analysis Services
Hi, Is anyone using Report Builder via a Report Model generated from Analysis Services in production? From what I have seen on the Forum people have done this from books, but it is not clear as to whether they have used it at work, in production. There do appear to be reports of some problems with the integration between the two, and with performance. The attraction of Report Builder on top of Analysis Services is that we should only need to define measures, security, etc, once in the Cube, not twice, as we would if we had to use Report Builder on top of a relational source, alongside Cubes on Analysis Services. What I would like to find out is: 1) If there is someone who has deployed Report Builder on top of both a relational data source and Analysis Services. If so, which has been taken up best by the users? 2) How does the navigation in Report Builder work with Cubes. It seems a little bizarre in that you can only drill down, never up. Is there any way around this. Do you need to design the Cube specifically to support the Report Model? If so how? 3) The generation of the report model is easy. However, is there any way to control this, or to edit it later? 4) We have had problems with Report Models on relational sources where changes have invalidated the Report Model and all reports built on it. Can similar problems arise, for example, if you change the Cube and then Re-Generate the Report Model? 5) Are there any other issues around Report Builder. The two I have found so far seem to be Hidden Dimensions showing up, and Report Builder not working if measures are defined as non-aggregatable. 6) Are there any other end-user adhoc reporting products which work better with Analysis Services? Regards Paul

I have the effective date on the address that specifies the date from which the address is effective. A customer will have multiple records in address with the latest effective date as the latest address of the customer. Suppose, I need to create a report using the report builder to get the list of latest address for customers, how can I do it?

Hi, I have a couple of reports that I created within the SQL Report Designer, I would like to give the ability to the end user of C# Winform application to be able to make modification to this .rdl file using the Report Builder, however when I try and launch the report that I created within the Report Designer using the Report builder I get the following error.. Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportBuilder.ReportModel.Report: The report 'http://localhost/ReportServer/MyReport)' cannot be opened because no data source is associated with it. Associate a model data source with this report and try again. How can I resolve this situation. I'm not sure if my approach is the best or if I'm I should be looking at the solution from another approach Thanks

Exporting Report Builder Tabular Report To CSV
A simple tabular Report Builder report was written to feed another system that requires quoted CSV. I have two issues when exported: 1) I can't get control over the exported column names. Currently, they are exported as "FIELDNAME_Value". When I try to change the column headings in the designer, it has no effect on the exported column names When I create a New Field and specify my desired column name (e.g., COMPANY), the export appears as COMPANY_Value. How do I control these names for the CSV export? 2) The spec calls for quoted text. In my export, only values with special characters are quoted. Thanks in advance. -DRB

Report Builder Error When Running Report
Hello everyone, I've come across an unusual error on some of our machines. I'm trying to track down why only certain ones will give an error. I thought it might have something to do with .NET 2.0 not being installed, but I assume that they wouldn't even be able to launch Report Builder if this is the case. I'm at the point now where I've been told these machines have .NET 2.0. I plan on trying to verify soon, but I thought I'd get everyone's opinion on what it could be. With even the simplist report (just 1 field dragged onto the report) the following error appears: "Report execution error The report might not be valid or the server could not process the data." When I clicked on the details, the following appears: "The numeric portion of 0pt cannot be parsed as a unit of type Point. ----- The type initializer for 'Microsoft.ReportingServices.Design.Constants' threw an exception." This model was created with Business Intelligence Development Studio and we're using SQL 2005 Enterprise. Anyone have any thoughts on what this could be or how I can better troubleshoot it? Thanks, Dan

[Report Builder] Use More Entities In Report Build
Hi, i wanna make a report and use data from diffrent entities, the problem i can't. When im clicking on an entitie i cannot go back to the 'main' screen where all the entities are. Im using AdventureWorks db now, can i for example get from the entitie 'contact' Store contacts and from 'Culture' the Culture ID's is their a way to do this, or is the report builder made to only generate reports from ONE entitie. Kind regards from Holland! -Arjan

However, if I go back into Report Builder and hit "open" the report defintion is saved and I can open and run it in Report Builder. Why can't I run it from Report Manager? Thanks.

Report Builder And Report Models
Hi, the database my app is using contains information from multiple user organisations, a sort of multi organisation database. I intend using the reprot builder to provide access to a user ine ach organisation. However the issue of who sees what info has popped up and i'm trying to think of a way to restict the user of report builder to only be able to see their own organisations information. This is a social services type application which is used by mutlitple service providers so organisations get twitchy about other organisations being able to see detailed client info. on the application the security stops this but at am a t a loss as to how to best restirct access to an organisation won client data. any thoughts? is this somehting that can be configured through the reprt model and the report builder user account? few ideas or advise would eb v helpful, trhanks
