Hi all, when i create a reports deploy on the Report server, i usually choose a filter prompted on Run. The lsit containt for example the list of my customers, but the list in empty like i want (like that, user can put a list from excel by copy-paste). But ... , if the want all the customers, what is the " * " operator to select all my records ?
I have created some reports using Report Builder however they autorun with default values when selected in report manager, cant think many people would want this to happen. Is there a way of getting rid of the default values in RB or preventing auto execute in RM?
I've got a few questions regarding prompts on the Report builder
Can I change caption of the prompt? I intend to let the users know what kind of prompt that is, if the date they're choosing is a upper limit or a lower limit
How can I create a Between date prompt? I tried using the From..To but it disabled my option to tranform the Filter into a prompt, and from some reason it didn't let me execute report which had After and Before prompts on the same date field (tried it as some sort of work around)
I tried adding fields from a 3rd level table using the report builder, I.E, I drilled down to the 3rd connected table and I was unable to add fields ... any thoughts?
In Report Builder, can you link prompt/filter fields to one another? For instance, I have Users and Groups and I want to dynamically fill the dropdown for Users based on the Group(s) chosen in the group prompt/filter. Or show the hierarchy as a expanding tree list for navigating the hierarchy to choose the user/groups to report on.
Another example would be product category & subcategory in adventure works.
And just to throw in a wrench, one of the areas I want to do this has 4 levels to the hierarchy.
I'm actually developing a report with some dates on it. I want that when I run this report, a prompt (a window) appears requesting a date (or at least it could be good if a list appears and I can select one of them). Do you have any idea about how can I do that?.
I have searched everywhere for this and I can't find any information on it. When I use the Query Builder, in the top pane, the Filter pane, there are five columnsimension, Hierarchy, Operator, Filter Expession and Parameters.
In the dropdown for Operator, one of the choices is MDX. I cannot find any documentation on how to use this operator. I want to limit my filter to SELF_AND_AFTER, and I am hoping that this is possible using this operator. I know how to hand code it, but I have a ton of other tweaks to make to the query, so I want to use the Query Designer as much as I can.
Does anyone have any links to documentation on how to use this operator?
I want to create a column alias to represent the comparison of twocolumns (ie a boolean result of True or False). A simple example is:Select VehicleFinanceID, SalePrice > PurchasePrice As isProfit[color=blue]>From VehicleFinance[/color]but I get an error 'Incorrect syntax near >'Books online states that the select_list can contain column_name orexpressionAn expression is a column name, constant, function, any combination ofcolumn names, constants and functions connected by an operator[color=blue]> is a binary operator[/color]So why do I get this error.Incidentally, if I use an arithmetic operator such as +, there is noproblem.
All -- Please help. Why is it that Linq-To-SQL reports that the query operator 'Last' is not supported? The target database is SQL Server 2005. The data provider is SqlClient.
This is the error... System.NotSupportedException: The query operator 'Last' is not supported. at System.Data.Linq.SqlClient.QueryConverter.VisitSequenceOperatorCall(MethodCallExpression mc) at System.Data.Linq.SqlClient.QueryConverter.VisitMethodCall(MethodCallExpression mc) at System.Data.Linq.SqlClient.QueryConverter.VisitInner(Expression node) at System.Data.Linq.SqlClient.QueryConverter.ConvertOuter(Expression node) at System.Data.Linq.SqlClient.SqlProvider.BuildQuery(Expression query, SqlNodeAnnotations annotations) at System.Data.Linq.SqlClient.SqlProvider.System.Data.Linq.Provider.IProvider.Execute(Expression query) at System.Data.Linq.DataQuery`1.System.Linq.IQueryProvider.Execute[S](Expression expression) at System.Linq.Queryable.Last[TSource](IQueryable`1 source) This is the code.

DataClassesDataContext myContext = new DataClassesDataContext();
myPkIdOfLast = (from p in myContext.CountryCodes orderby p.Name ascending select p.PkId).Last();
return myPkIdOfLast; }
Do you have any ideas? Please advise. Thank you. -- Mark Kamoski
Here is one scenario. There is Department X which has subdepartments A,B,C,D. A has 5 members and B has some 7 products, C 5 members and D has some 12 members. My problem is I need create a Report model where is if we select X all the list of subdepartments and their members should be displayed. I.e if we select X then A 1
2 3
4 5 B 1 2 3 4 5 C and so on..........every thing should be displayed that are under department, i.e subdepartments under that department and the members under each subdepartment of that Department.
The problem here is all those departments and subdepartments are in same table which has columns like, "DeptId" and "Dept Reporting to" and "EmplID. When we select "Dept Reporting to" = X, we need to get the result as I specified above
Can anyone please help me out to create a Report Model to generate ad hoc reports
We have a "folder hiriarchy" in reporting services with permission for different users to only create reports in their own folder. However, it would be nice if they (in report builder) could open eachothers reports, modify them and then save them in theri own folder. In this case, if they find a useful report that someone else has created, they could just make their own small modifications and save it in their own folder.
The problem is that I cant't seem to find a securitysetting that allow this. Either they can create/modify/delete the reports in a "folder" or they can't even open them in report builder...
I know that you can build a Report Designer report and add URL navigation from a field. I am trying to figure out how to do this with report BUILDER. I haven't been able to do it using the UI and editing the RDL directly to match what I see in a similar report Designer report is being ignored (if I did it right).
I can put the URL into the DSV & Model as a field/attribute, but displaying the a field with a URL in it doesn't make it "clickable".
Does anyone have a trick for this? Or know that there is definately no way to do it?
I have a development server setup with Report Builder that our users have been testing out. They have a number of reports that they have created on this dev server.
We now have our live environment all setup and I'd like to move their Report Builder reports to the new server for them so they don't have to recreate them.
I have a very simple report model with two tables in it but having millions of rows. I have developed a report on this report model, which will return atleast half million rows.
I have published this report to report server and trying to access the report through the report manager. It never returns the result. Fails with tme out expired error. I have 64 bit machine and 2 GB RAM. The report is expected to return atleast 500 MB data. As per the SSRS documentation it the memory should be three times to process the report. It does not work.
If I develop the same report using the report designer, I get the results returnd within a minute. If I use the above mentioned Report Model as my data source, again I get the results within less than minute.
So what is it the report builder report is doing additional? It is strange that the same report model when used as data source returns the same number of rows within less than minute and the report developed and uploaded to report manager using report builder fails with time out expired error?
What is that the Report builder doing internally? Can I change some configuration for report builder report to work for large reports? I have already changed the memory settings in the report config and machine config files. Your early response is appreciated.
I get a problem when I want to preview a report in Report Builder. I just launch Report Builder by the url [1] (RS is on a server, and I work on a laptop). Then I choose a model and create a simple report. When I press "Run Report", I get an error message saying: "The permissions granted to user 'mydomainmyusername' are insufficient for performing this operation. (rsAccessDenied)". But my user are assigned to content manager...
If I then save the report to the Report Server, I can access the report through e.g. the Report Manager without any problems.
Why doesn't the preview functionality work for me? Are there some settings I need to set, or is it a bug in Report Builder?
I need to create letter type reports using the report builder, is this possible?. I am trying to create a letter that embeds some variable fields, i.e,. name, address, contact number. I can't seem to find a way to create page headers, and embed report data fields within text. Is this not possible within the report builder? it seems that the only thing you can do within the report builder is add fields to their predesignated areas. I am being forced to use the report builder instead of the report designer in order to give the end user the ability to make modifications to the report/letter. This is very frustrating. not being able to allow the user to edit report designer files, and then having force them to use report builder which doesn't seem to support some simple features..
Hello - I am having difficulty enabling the automatic click-through functionality for my model. I have two entities - Customer & Incident. Incident is a role/FK/OptionalMany relationship to customer.
I've read through earlier postings on this subject (below) and have verified that the #Incidents attribute in my incident entity has the EnableDrillThrough=true.
My test report is simple - Customer Name (from customer) and #Incidents (from incident). When I run it, the click-through option is not available (the cursor stays as an arrow and doesn't change to a finger).
Are there other properties or settings that I need to be working with? I have SP2 (9.0.3042) installed on our Standard edition of SQL 2005. I know Infinite Click-Through is not in Std edition, but a few levels should be, correct?
I am using Report Builder 3.0 and i have report which has a drill down group. The report opens in a collapsed form.This report has interactive sorting on a column. But,when we drill down and sort the column, the group collapses and the details disappear.
In some posts, i have seen that instead of interactive sorting, people recommended a parameter. But i have to do interactive sorting only.
I'm trying to get empty cells from an OLAP cube to display in a report designed using the Report Builder. Of the three report types, only the Table report shows the empty cells. Is there any option/setting that I need to enable to get this to work for the Matrix or Chart reports? Something like the "Show Empty Cells" option that is available in the pivot table used by BI Dev Studio?
Does any body know that creating free form rports using Report Builder is possible?
Free-form report - in the sense - that user should be able to drag the fields from the leftside fields pane and drop on body as we do in report designer using BI studio.
I could not figure out a way to do so. Is this a limitation?
When you create reports using lists, why do we need to use First(Fields!customer.value) instead of Fields!customer.Value? Where and when we should use First? I'm always confused with this thing. Can anyone explain me how to use this correctly?
I have created an application that uses reports published via SQL reporting services. I have a form with a report viewer control on it and above that I have a drop down list box. I want to fill the list box with available reports from the server and allow the user to select the report they wish to see. The report list could change so I don't want to hard code any report names in the list The problem I am having is that I can't figure out how to get a list of available reports from the server.
I'm trying to get a list of reports. I see that I must use a web reference for the report server I need to connect to. I haven't worked with web references enough to know how to have one reference for production and on for debug. How would I do that?
Don't know if anyone has done this before -and I would really be wondered if not-: I want to show a list of available reports to a user. Since we are working with SharePoint Portal Server 2003 the webparts can't be used (need MOSS 2007 or WSS 3.0), but I really need to be able to build a dynamically generated list and show it on a sharepoint page.
My first idea is to build a report (kind of menu). I am already this far:
to get a list of reports with the active directory groups and their mapped roles: select u.UserName, c.Path, r.RoleName
from PolicyUserRole pur
left join Users u on pur.userID=u.userID
left join Roles r on pur.roleID=r.roleID
left join Catalog c on pur.policyID=c.policyID
order by u.UserName, c.Path, r.RoleName
I managed to link active directory via LDAP - linked server. I even managed to get a list of users and groups. Unfortunately I cannot check whether a user belongs to a group (any idea?), since all of our security (on sql server) is managed by active directory groups this really is a problem.
Or am I completely wrong and is there another way to fetch a list of reports for a user?
I run these stored procedure to build the report and I am able successfully to build the report but I need some prompts to in the report to get the specific data .
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[Sharepoint_Ticket_Report] @StartDate DATETIME, @EndDate
[Code] ....
And for prompts how to create created_by and message_type dropdowns as shown in picture.

Hi friends how can i access report server database ?I've C# application and i want to develop a screen with a grid that loads all reports created on report server.
am using sql server 2005 standard edition and VS 2005 standard edi.
can someone point me to some sample examples? Thanks for your help
I am presently working on a project which handles much larger amount of data. The application demands extensive reporting from the SharePoint data. I'd like to know how I can generate reports from the SharePoint lists using Reporting Services.
We really like using the Matrix reports, but we were finding that every Matrix report that we created would spawn an extraneous blank page. We tried putting the matrix in a rectangle, which works well for positioning other items on reports, but this had no effect on the problem.
Then we tried placing the matrix in a list with the list group details set to "=Nothing". It worked great - no more extra pages. Looked and didn't see this tip mentioned elsewhere so thought it might be worth sharing.
comparing UNIQUEIDENTIFIER columns..This query returns several rows where the [ReportId] and [LastRunDate] columns are both NULL:
SELECT [c].[Name],[c].[ItemID],[xl].[ReportID] , MAX([TimeStart]) [LastRunDate] FROM [dbo].[Catalog] [c] LEFT JOIN [dbo].[ExecutionLogStorage] [xl] on [c].[ItemID] = [xl].[ReportID] WHERE [c].[Type] NOT IN (1,5) -- Not a folder or a data source! group by [c].[Name],[c].[ItemID],[xl].[ReportID] order by 4
However, trying to just list catalog reports with no execution history returns 0 rows, but I'm expecting it to return a row for every NULL [ReportId] from the above query:
SELECT * FROM [dbo].[Catalog] WHERE [Type] NOT IN (1,5) -- Not a folder or a data source! AND [ItemID] NOT IN (SELECT [ReportID] FROM [dbo].[ExecutionLogStorage])
I even tried casting [ItemId] and [ReportId] columns in the 2nd query to VARCHAR(255), and still got no rows, but the following queries return 0 rows and 1 row (respectively).
select * from [dbo].[ExecutionLogStorage] where [ReportID] = '0BB2209C-7736-46C8-AD02-4614EBA4F0F1' select * from [dbo].[Catalog] where [ItemID] = '0BB2209C-7736-46C8-AD02-4614EBA4F0F1'
