How DO I Generate A Table Of Contents For A Report??
Aug 28, 2006
Hi!!!
Can anybody help me with the generation of Table of Contents for a report using SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services. Let me ellaborate. The scenerio is...i m having a report of lets say 500 pages grouped on employees, showing the performance of each employee between specific date range. Now if the manager prints the report of 500 pages he will be more intersted to jump directly to a perticular employee's page which means my printed report had to have a Table of Contents on my grouped criteria (which in this case is employee number). I would really appriciate if someone can suggest me a solution for this.
What are the options to create a table of contents based on the report items in a List Control? Document Mapping works for online viewing. A table of content would make the report easier to read when it's printed.
I have 5 different tables with same structure. Each table has an account column and another column count. I am trying to generate a report based of the columns in each table. Account is same in all tables with same account numbers but count will be different.
I have a report that has a snapshot enabled. I made some changes to my report and redeployed it, but when I view the report from the Report Manager web site the old version is getting used. Apparently the snapshot includes the rdl and the data and not just the data. Can anyone else confirm this? If this is the case, a new snapshot must be created after the report format is modified.
Hi All,I have come up against a wall which i cannot get over.I have an sql db where the date column is set as a varchar (i know, should have used datetime but this was done before my time and i've got to work with what is there). The majority of values are in the format dd/mm/yyyy. However, some values contain the word 'various'.I'm attempting to compare the date chosen on a c# .net page with the values in the db and also return all the 'various' values as well.I have accomplished casting the varchar to a datetime and then comparing to the selected date on the .net page. However, it errors when it comes across the 'various' entrant.Is there anyway to carry out a select statement comparing the start_date values in the db to the selected date on the .net page and also pull out all 'various' entrants at the same time without it erroring? i thought about replacing the 'various' to a date like '01/01/2010' so it doesn't stumble over the none recognised format, but am unsure of how to do it.This is how far i have got: casting the varchar column to datetime and comparing. SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE Cast(SUBSTRING(Start_Date,4,2) + '/' + SUBSTRING(Start_Date,1,2) + '/' +SUBSTRING(Start_Date,7,4) as datetime) '" + date + "'"Many thanks in advance!
A space was added as the first character of the contents in the Left, Center and Right section of the Report Header and Footer exported to Excel. Example :
In the RDL, Header values are:
Left = "Product Report" ; Center = "Confidential" ; Right = "Page n of n"
In the exported report to Excel, Header properties (-->File.-->Page Setup--> Header/Footer Tab) are:
Left = " Product Report" ; Center = " Confidential" ; Right = " Page n of n"
Hi, I am relatively new to this stuff. I am using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express (9.00.1399.00) Can someone tell me the way to get a table and its content to another database (I use two at webhosts4life) Or perhaps a way to export the data of a table so I can do it at a later stage.
Is that at all possible with this program or do I have to use the non-express version?
Hello, Its hard trying to explain this. I have 3 tables Table 1 is where the users are stored, each user has a username and a userrank Table 2 is where the points that decides the userrank are stored Table 3 contains the available userranks like this
Table 1 (user_list) looks briefly like this:username nvarchar(20),userrank int, -- Reference to Table3 id... alot more fields Table 2 (settings_profile) looks like this:username nvarchar(20),total_active_points int,... some more fields Table 3 (data_ranks) looks like this:id int primary key auto inc,rankname nvarchar(20),min_pts int,max_pts int
Points get added to table 2 whenever they do something that generates points on the site. Points also get withdrawn every 7 days, so a user can only collect points for 7 days, on the 8th day, all points he earned on the 1st day is reduced from the current points with this code: WHILE (SELECT @username = username, @id = id, @temp1 = ap_sentmails, @temp2 = ap_createdthreads, @temp3 = ap_createdanswers, @temp4 = ap_signguestbook, @temp5 = ap_blogcomment, @temp6 = ap_createblogentry, @temp7 = ap_profilefirsttime, @temp8 = ap_profilephoto, @temp9 = ap_activateguestbook, @temp10 = ap_addnewfriend, @temp11 = ap_superguruvote, @temp12 = ap_forumtopicvote, @temp13 = ap_labervote, @temp14 = ap_funstuffitemvote, @temp15 = ap_movievote, @temp16 = ap_actorvote, @temp17 = ap_money_new WHERE (created < Dateadd(dd, -7, @todaysdate))BEGINSET @sum = 0SET @sum = @temp1 + @temp2 + @temp3 + @temp4 + @temp5 + @temp6 + @temp7 + @temp8 + @temp9 + @temp10 + @temp11 + @temp12 + @temp13 + @temp14 + @temp15 + @temp16 + @temp17UPDATE settings_profile SET total_active_points = total_active_points - @sum WHERE (username = @username)DELETE FROM konto_daylist WHERE (id = @id)END Now my question is this, i want to loop thru the table A, collect all usernames inside of it, then run it against table b and table c to determine the current rank of the user.Something like this... DECLARE @username nvarchar(20)DECLARE @pts int, @rank int ...something that starts a loop thru table A (user_list) and get the username into @username... SELECT @pts = total_active_points FROM settings_profile WHERE (username = @username)-- Determine the rank here, by compairing the points the user have against the pointstabel in table data_ranksSELECT @rank = id FROM data_ranks WHERE (pts_min => @pts AND pts_max < @pts)UPDATE user_list SET rank = @rank WHERE (username = @username) ...next persion in the loop... This SP runs once a day and will first reduce the points from 8days ago, then it will run thru all the users and determine their new rank... But how do i loop thru all the users? with a cursor?
Using Sql Server 2005 Express and Management Studio I need to create a SQL insert statement for the contents of a table (FullDocuments) so that I can run the query on another server with that same table schema (FullDocuments) and the contents will automatically be inserted into the new instance of the FullDocuments table.In Management Studio I have used "Script Table as" for the create table query. The second instance of FullDocuments has been created on the remote server. Now how do I generate an insert query for the contents of FullDocuments so that the contents can be moved/inserted to the new instance of the table?Thanks for any help provided.
I am trying to perform a query in SQL that will merge the contents of various table, using search criteria to narrow down the results. All of the tables have the exact same fields, and the search criteria is the same for all of them. What I am looking for is the most efficient way to perform this. I am using SQL stored procedures, and passing the results into my code. Note that in my real-world scenario there are more than three tables.
1) Merge all the tables into one and then perform the search criteria: SELECT a, b, c FROM (SELECT a, b, c FROM Table1 UNION ALL SELECT a, b, c FROM Table2 UNION ALL SELECT a, b, c FROM Table3) AS MY_MERGE WHERE {SEARCH CRITERIA}
2) Perform the search criteria on each table and merge the results SELECT a, b, c FROM (SELECT a, b, c FROM Table1 WHERE {SEARCH CRITERIA} UNION ALL SELECT a, b, c FROM Table2 WHERE {SEARCH CRITERIA} UNION ALL SELECT a, b, c FROM Table3 AS MY_MERGE WHERE {SEARCH CRITERIA})
I'm copying date from a sql server 2000 table to a sql server 2008 R2 table using a Linked Server.I need to be sure the remote table is correct before processing it.I first delete all the remote table contents and after that, I insert into remote_table from local_tableWhat happens if the communication is interrupted during the insert?I mean, Can I be sure all records were copied just checking if record count > 0 ?
An application uses a database table having proprietary information. We do not want our customer to be able to look at that. This being a real-time application, performance can not be sacrificed. What is the best way to keep the table data non-viewable without sacrificing the performance?
I am using MSSQL 2000 and trying to debug a stored procedure that has a #temp table in it. I am using the .NET SQL debugger and I would like to display or view the contents of the #temp table while debugging. Does anyone know how to do this?
I have a large table containing about 800 million rows with an average row length of about 1K. The columns in the table are char columns. I need to move the contents of this table into a similar table where the target columns are varchar. The original table column definitions are compatible with the target table but the reverse is not necessarily true. For example, one column is being changed from int to bigint. The table is partitioned.
So, what is the fastest way to migrate the data. I was thinking to unload each partition into a flat file and load the target table running multiple load streams? Is this a good way?
I have a real table with an identity column and a trigger to populate this column.
I need to import / massage data for data loads from a different format, so I have a temp table defined that contains only the columns that are represented in the data file so I can bulk insert.
I then alter this table to add all the other columns so that it reflects all the columns in the real table. I then populate all the values so that this contains the data I need.
I then want to insert into the real table pushing the data from the temp table, however this gives me errors stating that the query returned multiple rows.
I specified all the columns in the insert grouping as well as on the select from the temp table.
ANY thoughts / comments are appreciated. This is beginning to drive me nuts.
If I have a table with three fields (A, B, C) and 'A' is a primary key, 'B' and 'C' do not have any content and another table with the same number of fields contains the same fields(A, B, C) and the fields do contain data.
I want to populate the first table with the data from the second table where the primary key 'A' is equal.
I am generating crystal reports using recordset in ASP.Now i want to generate the report using reporting services 2000 with the same recordset.how can i do this.pls suggest me.
Trying to generate a daily KPI report from our SQL server. I do not have access to write any functions. In the "start date" and "end date" section what numerical value would I enter to give me the equivalent of CURRENT_DATE ()?
Can I generate a report without having RDL file physically at the server?
According to any "Generic Report Builder" logic, the report builder must stores the properties of Report in one form (RDL/XML) or the other (in database) and at the time of generating the "Report Output", builder must be reading those properties, assigning those to any class object's (say objRPT) properties/members and calling the method to generate the report in perticular file format.
I need a way where I can assign these values stored in the database (i.e. meta data of report is stored in database) to the objRPT directly. Can I do that.
I need this because I want to see whether I can switch from "Active Reports for .Net" to "SSRS" or not. I store all the meta data of the report into the database (including its control information, parameter mapping etc.) I have used Active Report's Events as well to show/hide controls/sections conditionally.
So in short as the metadata is in predefined-database, i don't want to bother with the RDL files. Can I do that?
Hi, We have few reports which users want to export rather than see them on the web. Is there any way to directly export the report (in a specified format say .CSV) when user clicks on generate report. This way they don't have to wait till report is rendered on the web page and then export it.
I know this a simple question but I cannot find an example of using the ReportExecutionService to render a report that doesn't take any parameters. Can somebody provide and example? Or to make it easier, tell me what to change in the msdn example: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.wssux.reportingserviceswebservice.rsexecutionservice2005.reportexecutionservice.render.aspx
