Dynamically Creating Report Width

Apr 5, 2007

Has anyone found out how to dynamically create report width.



If I have 20 columns on a report all of 2cm, then report will be 40cm width.



If I display the columns based on specific criteria using the iif function and then setting the an expression for the Visibility Hidden property, the report could potentially reduce in width.



I cannot see how to build an expression for the report width or table width, to accommodate the potential change in the width of the report when columns are not shown, thus it pages incorrectly, leaving huge white space on the right of the report when columns are hidden... has anyone come across this requirement, and hopefully a solution for it?



Many Thanks people

Subreport Width Expanding Beyond Width Of Container Report

Mar 4, 2008

I have a subreport on my main report, and the subreport contains a matrix. When I run the report, the subreport seems to expand beyond the width of the main report. The matrix itself does not expand beyond the width of the body of the main report, but for some reason it seems that the subreport does. The subreport does not contain any headers that might be messing up the width. If I cut and paste the matrix from the subreport directly onto the main report, and remove the subreport, it prints fine. But as soon as I include the subreport on the main report it prints with blank pages because the subreport expands beyond the width of the body of the main report. I have checked the width and margins on the subreport and compared to the width of the main report and all looks good. Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Dynamically Creating The Data Source Of A Report At Run Time Using Parameters

Feb 13, 2008



I have three databases which have the identical data structure. When the user runs a report, he has to select a database.
For example, my report query would look like:

Select * from <theDatabase>.dbo.MyTable

How could I assign the value of <theDatabase> at run time depending on what the user selects from the list?
In my datasource, I have only specified the server name and no value for initial catalog.

Scaling Width Of Report To Fit To Page Width

Apr 9, 2007

Hi,

I've a report projects where each report has a number of columns and the spec is to have all the columns print-out on the same page. Is there a setting that will auto-scale these columns to fit to the page or will I have to edit the font size and widths manually on each report to fit to the page?

Thanks for any comments.

How To Dynamically Change Width?

Feb 7, 2006


Folks,

We have some reports that have optional columns. We have them working very nicely, with the column showing or hiding based on values in the report -- works great.

Except -- when the columns are present, the report spans onto two pages, when exported to PDF, in width. That's understandable, as there's a lot of extra data, and exactly what we want. However, when the columns are not present, we get empty pages instead, because the report doesn't automatically contract back onto the size that fits on one page.

Changing the report to a Matrix won't work, as the hidden columns on some of these come as sets of three, where each column in the three has different formatting (different widths, format codes, etc).

Thanks!

Can I Dynamically Change The Width Of Objects?

Aug 25, 2005

I have a problem using the table object.  I have columns that I sometimes want to show, and I want the page to run off the edge and be two pages.  However, usually I'm hiding many of the columns and the table "shrinks" enough to fit on one page.  When this happens, the table looks right on the first page, but I get blank pages after it, because the report itself will not shrink.

Where Do I Set The Report Width?

Oct 23, 2007

I'm not very familiar with sql server 2005, and am trying to create some reports for the first time. I created 4 fairly basic reports. Three of them work just fine. The fourth one is giving me fits. When I look at it in Visual Studio, it previews just fine - generates the correct data and everything. When I deploy it to report services, however, it gets squashed sideways, so that it is about three times too narrow. I've looked at both the body properties and the report properties, and they all appear ok when compared to the other three reports. The body width is set to 8.9 inches, and the report page size and interactive size properties are set to 8.6 inches.

Can anyone point me in the right direction, or am I going to have to start from scratch?

Thanks in advance...

Adjusting Report Width Automatically

Dec 27, 2006

Hi All,

We are having a table report which has set of columns where the visibility is made false based on report parameters. It works fine and the table automatically shrinks. But, the page width remains as early and has lot of blank space in it. It also causes printer to print many blank pages.

Is there a way to control pagewidth dynamically? Thought of adding a custom assembly to control page width - but how to access the page that is getting displayed. "this" will refer to the the assembly class instead of report as such.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Regards, kart

Select Columns With Correct Width For Fixed Width Flat File?

Dec 6, 2013

I have like 100 columns and most of them work fine, but some will not work. I need to select the columns with correct width for fixed width flat file.

Here is typical SQL statment that works for most of them.

left(RTRIM(A.City) + Replicate(' ', 25) ,25) as [City]

The above one is not working, but many other works fine like the address. Why would it work for some, but not others?

It works fine if I use any char, but not space. i.e.

left(RTRIM(A.City) + Replicate('*', 25) ,25) as [City]

Report Viewer Parameter Dropdown Width

Sep 8, 2006

Does anyone know how to control the width of the parameter dropdownlist? If you select "Multi-value" for the parameter (non-sp1 version) the parameter list is in a dropdownlist that is manageable in size. If you do not use the multi-value parameter, it looks like the width of the dropdownlist is determined by the width of the longest text of the returned parameters.

Is there any way to control the width of the dropdown?

Thanks

Dynamically Creating Cube

Jun 21, 2005

Hi guys

I'm investigating whether if its possible to Dynamically create a cube. Then Process this cube before exporting it to a .cub file.

I know that DTS in sqlserver is able to process a cube given at a scheduled time interval. But I'm not sure how I can export a cube to a offline .cub file dynamically. The only way that i know to create a .cub file is via PivotTable in Excel.

Any help in pointing me to the right direction is appreciated.

Thankyou :)

Multiple Checkbox Field Width In A Report Parameter.

Oct 30, 2007

Hello,

I have a report where I'm showing a list of users to select.
When previewing the report, the width of the field is automatically set to the largest label in the dropdown list.
But when I change the parameter to have "Multi-Values", then the width is set to a fixed value and a horizontal scrollbar appears.
Does anyone know how to have a "Multi-Values" parameter, but keeping the lasgest width of the labels in the dropdown list ?

Thanks in advance

Report Page Width With Dynamic Columns Through Parameters

Apr 18, 2007

I found the following paragraph while searching on here:

************************************************************************
You could easily set up a parameter for each column and then display that column conditionally based on the parameter.

For instance, if you have a column that displays First Name, you could have a parameter called DisplayFirstName. Then in design view you'd select the whole FirstName column and in the Visibility-Hidden property set it to :

=iif( Parameters!DisplayFirstName.Value = false, true, false )

This could easily become a big, unwieldy report, though, if you have a great number of dynamic columns. Also, The width of the report is set at design time, and it includes the width of all your columns, not just the visible ones. This could cause you some pagination problems.
************************************************************************

That is exactly my problem. I have lots of dynamic columns which causes the width of the report to be wide. Thus even though at run time the report only shows columns within a page, the report itself consists of a lot of white spaces after the selected columns. Does anyone know a solution to this? If not, I guess creating the rdl with code manually is the only way? Please advise. Thanks in advance.

- Will

Reporting Services :: Dynamic Column Width For A Report

Feb 14, 2008

Will the width property of a column be able to be set at run-time (i.e. ability to set the width of a column to an expression) in SQL Reporting Services 2008? One problem I have seen is the inability to set the width of columns in a report when you you have several columns whose order is determined based on parameters.
 
Lets say I have 2 columns in a report and two fields from the database which will populate those columns: 1 field that is varchar(5) and one which is varchar(50). If I do not know which column each field will go to until runtime how am I supposed to adjust the column width? Letting the column width be set by an expression would solve everything as I could pass the width in to the report. As it stands now, I would have to set each column's width to accomodate a field of type varchar(50) in order to avoid wrapping of data.
 
You could say just create 2 reports, one for each case, but what if I had 15 fields? 20?how to dynamically set the width of a column? Will the width of a column be able to be set at run-time in SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 via expression or some other means?

Administrative Rights For Local Machine To Deploy Dynamically Created Report From Web App To Report Server

Feb 5, 2007

The current way I have my asp.net 2.0 web app running reports is, based on an
interface the user selects the criteria for a report. The .RDL file is created
dynamically based on the user's selections.
I then need to SOAP the dynamically created report to the report server and
then the report runs fine.
BUT it requires Adminstrative rights to do this. Can this be accomplished
without giving the local machine admin rights. I am sorry if this question
has been answered before but i have not been up here in a while.

Problem Creating Database Dynamically

Jul 29, 2004

Hi everybody,

I have a problem. When I try to create a database with this code:

strConnection = "server=(local);Integrated Security=SSPI"
objConnection = New SqlConnection(strConnection)
objConnection.Open()
Dim strSQL = "CREATE DATABASE xxxxxx ON PRIMARY"
strSQL += "(Name=test_data, filename = 'xxxxx.mdf', size=3,"
strSQL += "maxsize=5, filegrowth=10%)log on"
strSQL += "(name=mydbb_log, filename='xxxxx.ldf',size=3,"
strSQL += "maxsize=20,filegrowth=1)"
objCommand = New SqlCommand(strSQL, objConnection)
objCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()

it usually works, except when the name of the database (xxxxxx) contains a number in the beginning of the name or if it is all made up completely by numbers. I also converted the database name into a string, but it doesn't work either.

What is the problem?
How can I solve it?


Thanks in advance

Dynamically Creating Features Grid

Mar 17, 2006

I was given what at first seemed a simple task (and maybe it is, but with everything else on my plate, I can't seem to get my head wrapped around this)...create a grid or table something similar to below:
               Plan A           Plan B                  PlanC                  PlanD
Item1         yes                yes                        no                        no
Item2         yes                 yes                      no                        no
Item3         yes                  no                     yes                        no
etc.....
 
The "plans" are stored in one db table, the "items" in another. What I can't seem to get straight in my mind is how to relate the yess and nos and then generate a tabular layout similar to the above.
I don't need anyone to do it for me, but a push in the right direction would sure be nice (using SQL 2005) Thanks!

Dynamically Altering/creating Tables

Jul 22, 1998

Folks,
Is there any way I can dynamically alter the structure of a table? In other words if my Transact SQL
statement returns 5 rows I want to alter an existing table and put in 5 columns. Strange?!
Something like
alter table add
column+@i
The alter table statement is within a Cursor and ideally @i should increment each time and alter
the table to put in a new column.
If I went 3 times thru the loop, I should have
column1
column2
column3

added to the new table.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks much in advance.

SQL 2012 :: Report Builder 3 Grouping (1st Row Needs Full Page Width)

Mar 8, 2014

I have a dataset for report builder 3 that has 8 fields. The data for the report needs to be grouped by the first field. The 2nd field is a string that describes the group field and this too needs to be on the same row as the group field. This 2nd field need nearly the full page width. The remaining 6 fields need to end up rendering below the first row. I can't figure out how to get report builder to put the first 2 fields on the first row and use the full page width.
