I am currently working on a rather simple report, it cosists of a table with two columns
The first column contains Employee Names, and the second column contials details of what the have worked on
I have made the second column invisible, and can be made visible when the eployee name column is expanded.
The problem that i am having is that when the second column is collapesed, it still leaves whitespace, in the first column, of how ever many rows that are contained in the second column, is there a way, I can get rid of that whitespace?
I am having a problem with whitespace showing up within a table. I have a grouping by date that toggles the fields correctly but when the fields are not expanded, the space where the data would be is showing as whitespace instead of collapsing up. Can anyone shed some light on how to make the whitespace go away?
I am hoping there is an easy way to fix this. I have a report defined 8.5" x 11.0" with .5" Margin's all around. I am using the WinForms Report Viewer Control (doing Server side reports). It looks like the viewer is taking the left margin and adding it to the right margin. So you get large amounts of white space on the right of the viewer. This requires me to make the viewer way larger than it needs to be to get rid of the ugly Horizontal Scroll bar.
What I want is either don't show the margins until you print (removing the margins from the RDLC file does nothing), or have the left margin white space belong on the left side.
Why is this happening? And how can I fix it? Thanks!
I have a report that, among other things, contains 3 tables laid out side-by-side horizontally. The first table is conditionally visible and when it is hidden the report contains whitespace instead of the table. The problem is that this causes an unappealing visual look because the other 2 tables look shifted too much to the right.
What is the recommended way for dealing with situations like this? There doesn't seem to be support for specifying the location (i.e. top, left) of elements based on expressions. Am I "stuck" with having to create multiple flavors of the report?
I have a OLE DB Source going to a flat file destination. My source is a sql variable with "select * from tablename" which have varchar datatypes. Yet I'm getting trailing spaces at the end of some of my columns (for instance, my address column).
I've checked the data by doing a "select Max(Len(address)) from tablename" and the max is only like 34 chars, yet each of them have 100 chars total.
Taking a look at my flat file connection, the outputColumnWidth is 100, and datatype is string [DT_STR]. Am I crazy? What's the problem here? Is the DT_STR datatype the equivalent of char, and not varchar?
I'm trying to figure out how to find the last whitespace character in avarchar string. To complicate things, it's not just spaces that I'mlooking for, but certain ascii characters (otherwise, obviously, justuse LEN). My initial thought was to REVERSE it, find the location(using CHARINDEX) looking for each of those characters (so, multiplequeries), then subtract that from the LEN of the string.The problem I'm running into is that there are about a dozen differentcharacters we're looking for. Any suggestions? My thought was to(this sounds silly, so there's gotta be a better way) dump the resultsfrom each CHARINDEX into a table, then find the MAX of the table anduse that. But, like I said, it sounds silly. I don't think I can do a[^0-9A-Z] either, since there are non-Alphanumeric characters we'relooking for.Many thanks.
I have a column that I do not want any whitespace in whatsoever. I'mwondering how do enforce this a DDL level instead of in 40 millionseat-of-the-pants after-the-fact computer programs accessing thedatabase.Regards,Terrence
Hi,I am trying to concoct a query that will join rows on the basis of awhitespace insensitive comparison. For instance if one row has the value'a<space>b' and another has the value 'a<space><space>b' I want them to beconsidered equal (but not the same as 'ab')I am happy to do some T-SQL if that helps. Also I have a full-text index onthe column in question, but note that I am comparing rows against eachother, not to a fixed string.This is for a one-off job, so if there is no obvious way to do it on thedatabase, I will just bcp out the data and knock up some perl or somethingto do it. All other things being equal I would rather do it on the databasethough.Many thanksAndy
I am having an problem with using full-text search and phrases in ASP.NET 2.0 when populating a treeview.
I have a stored procedure that searches a full text index and brings back the results in a datareader. It fails when I try to search for more than one word with a space in between. I get the error SQLException was unhandled by usercode "Syntax error near 'up'' in the full-text search condition ''item up''." The stored proc is as follows: CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[SearchResults] @criteria as varchar(50)
AS BEGIN SELECT * FROM PMGNT_PROJECTS PRJCT INNER JOINCONTAINSTABLE(PMGNT_PROJECTS,*,@criteria) K ON PRJCT.PRJCT_REFNO = K.[KEY] END
The stored procedure works fine though query analyser it's only when I try to use it in ASP.NET and use more than one word that it fails e.g. "item up". Search for single words also works fine in ASP.NET Code is as follows: 1 if (SearchField.Text != "") 2 3 { 4 5 string searchString = ""; 6 7 searchString = "'" + SearchField.Text + "'"; 8 9 10 11 SqlConnection SqlCon = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["DBConnectionString"].ConnectionString); 12 13 SqlCon.Open(); 14 15 SqlCommand SqlCmd = new SqlCommand("SearchResults", SqlCon); 16 17 18 SqlCmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure; 19 20 SqlCmd.Parameters.Add("@criteria", SqlDbType.VarChar); 21 22 SqlCmd.Parameters["@criteria"].Value = searchString; 23 24 25 26 SqlDataReader Sdr = SqlCmd.ExecuteReader(); 27 28 SqlCmd.Dispose(); 29 30 string[,] ParentNode = new string[200, 2]; 31 32 int count = 0; 33 34 while (Sdr.Read()) 35 36 { 37 38 ParentNode[count, 0] = Sdr.GetValue(Sdr.GetOrdinal("PRJCT_REFNO")).ToString(); 39 40 ParentNode[count++, 1] = Sdr.GetValue(Sdr.GetOrdinal("PRJCT_CODE")).ToString(); 41 42 } 43 44 Sdr.Close(); 45 46 for (int loop = 0; loop < count; loop++) 47 48 { 49 50 TreeNode root = new TreeNode(); 51 52 root.Text = ParentNode[loop, 1]; 53 54 root.Value = ParentNode[loop, 0]; 55 56 root.SelectAction = TreeNodeSelectAction.Select; 57 58 SqlCommand Module_SqlCmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT * FROM PMGNT_MILESTONES MILST where MILST_PRJCT_REFNO =" + ParentNode[loop, 0], SqlCon); 59 60 SqlDataReader Module_Sdr = Module_SqlCmd.ExecuteReader(); 61 62 string[,] ChildNode = new string[200, 2]; 63 64 int countChild = 0; 65 66 67 68 while (Module_Sdr.Read()) 69 70 { 71 72 ChildNode[countChild, 0] = Module_Sdr.GetValue(Module_Sdr.GetOrdinal("MILST_REFNO")).ToString(); 73 74 ChildNode[countChild++, 1] = Module_Sdr.GetValue(Module_Sdr.GetOrdinal("MILST_TITLE")).ToString(); 75 76 } 77 78 Module_Sdr.Close(); 79 80 for (int cloop = 0; cloop < countChild; cloop++) 81 82 { 83 84 TreeNode child = new TreeNode(); 85 86 child.Text = ChildNode[cloop, 1]; 87 88 89 90 root.ChildNodes.Add(child); 91 92 } 93 94 95 96 // Add root node to TreeView 97 98 SearchResultTree.Nodes.Add(root); 99 100 } 101 102 SearchResultTree.CollapseAll(); 103 104 SqlCon.Close(); 105 106 107 } 108 109
I have a need to create a report that has a graph at the top and a table at the bottom. The graph at the top can optionally be made hidden because they cause problems when exported to Excel as images. However, when I set the Hidden property of the graph to true, positions of all items on the report remain absolute. Meaning of course that the table that is located half-way down the page remains half-way down the page and there is a lot of nothing on the first half where the graph used to be.
It would be desirable to have the ability to have the table move up when the graph is not visible, however it obviously doesn't do it automatically and also refuses me the ability to change the position with an expression.
I know that this almost never happens... but Im dealing with an AIX flatfile-database conversion that brings 80 tables into SQL. Im not allowed to touch this stuff or to massage how its brought over to SQL, as it deals with medical records... What I need to do though, is on creating my own table imports, for my "account" fields to match with the existing SQL conversion table "account" fields, I have to match requirements... Existing account numbers are a total of 6 charaters. Account numbers with less than six characters contain leading whitespace character equivalents to total the six character spaces for "account number" When I import records, I need to force the same requirement and have a min and max length of characters for "account number" = 6 characters and any account number less than 6 characters must also have the necessary whitespace character equivalent added to it. How would I do this? It needs to be automated, as this is a process that will run nightly and cannot have a human sitting on it every day, 7 days a week... I cannot accurately join unless I can meet this requirement and my hands are tied because I can't change the way the formatting is done on the imported tables =( Any help would be greatly appreciated... I'm quite stuck
I am facing whitespace issue in my SSRS report. I have simple tablix report with 10 columns. I am trying to toggle column 5 to 8 using on column 4. The problem I am facing is the whitespace. Now column 5 to 8 are only visible when we expand column 4. When the report is rendered on the screen, there is a huge gap between column 4 and 9.
I'm trying to suppress whitespace in a drilldown for textboxes that have suppress duplicates applied.
I have a matrix report that is showing whitespace in a drilldown because I am supressing duplicates. Based on what I read in other forums, if I set the ToggleItem to Len(FieldName)=0 that should supress the whitespace, right?
I can see that I have a field in the toggleitem called: Firstname. If I put the value Len(Firstname)=0 in the toggleitem property, then I get the error: The textbox 'textbox21' has Len(Firstname)=0' as a toggle item. Toggle items must be text boxes that share the same scope as the hidden item. I think the code 'Len' is throwing it off.
If I put the value "Firstname" in the toggleitem property, then it doesn't return the error, so I know that firstname is a valid value for toggleitem, but setting the value to firstname doesn't suppress anything.
If someone can tell me how to supress a textbox based on a value, then this may get rid of the whitespace I'm trying to suppress. Any ideas? Thanks...
I am working on a report that has 3 bars per series. I would like to add some gapping or whitespace between each bar in each series. Also how do you deal with overlapping. I know it can be done in Excel, I can't find the property of how to do it in SSRS. Any assistance would be appreciated.
I have a databound textbox that is used to store a decimal value.
If my sql table stores this column as a decimal(2,2), then all of the numbers entered into the field will automatically put decimal places in that I don't want. For example, 45 becomes 45.00... 34.5 becomes 34.50.
If I set the sql table to nchar(10) and the dataset to system.string (max length of -1), then the number looks the way I would like it, however after a datatable update I end up with trailing whitespace after the number - filling up the rest of the unused 10 characters. For example, "45" becomes "45 " (8 spaces afterwards).
Does anybody know how I can fix this? I would prefer to store the numbers in SQL as a string (nchar(10))... but I don't know how to get rid of that darned whitespace. I would like to remove it at the database level and not at the client level if at all possible.
In my web application I am using SQL Server 2000. But as we all know, its presence in the network is visible to all the clients in the network. Anybody who has SQL Server client installed and knows the password of the database would be able to access DB remotely and this is what I don't want. I want user to access my database only when they are loggedon on physically (directly) on the machine on which SQL Server is installed.
Configuration: Windows2000 , SQL7 Three people have administrative priveleges (with priveleges Enterprise admins) There is special DB in SQL7 Some tables should be hidden from 2 admins (they should be unable to read information from these tables) Is it possible? And if it is possible, How to do it? Thank you very much Merry Christmas Happy New Year Seasons greetings
I have a dimension named Products with the following hierarchy:
Type Sub Type Product
Due to requirements I want that a particular product, whose name is, say, "XYZ" should not be displayed when the user drills down to the lowest level i.e. the Product level.
I tried playing with the Advanced Properties tab but could not make any progress and thus will be grateful for help.
Hi, Is it is possible to hide some parameters in report? Also it should be possible to pass values to this hidden parameters from the application. When I did this through Report Manager, some error message like ' the parameter 'XXXX' is read-only. ....' appears.
Hello Everyone. I need help again. I have a reports made in VS business intelligence project with a lot of parameters. So it means it automatically creates textboxes of that parameters. I want to hide those textboxes. Pls help.
I want to make a Report with attractive selection parameters. That I mean, there is a parameter, Tparam (Time Param) which will activate other parameters (3 parameters: TimeA_1, TimeA_2 & TimeA_3. These selection values have been registered in the "Aviable values => non-queried".)
when Tparam selected TimeA_1 then Parameter for TimeA_1 will activated (and the others will be disappeared/hidden), vice versa for the other control (TimeA_2 & TimeA_3)
I have a rectangle which contains a chart. Most of the time, the chart has data, so the rectangle should be visible. Sometimes, however, the chart may have no data (zero records). In that case, I would like to hide the rectangle.
Is there any way to "query" data from the report's recordset to see if a certain condition is true.. if so, use that to control the visiblity of the rectangle?
I have one column in the recordset that has many values... the chart will only display data if certain values are returned in the recordset.
I'm creating a report that is grouping the rows per year and month, as it does this there are certain rows that show up that I would like to hide since the value in one of the columns is < = 0. For the purpose of my report I don't needs these rows to be illustrated. How can I do this?
I pull back all the data in a single query and the result looks like this...
Item Shipped OnHand PO# DueDate POQty
1234 0 0 111 8/01/07 12
1234 0 0 222 8/08/07 12
1234 0 0 333 8/16/07 12
2345 4 0 444 8/04/07 24
Now I can use the Hide Duplicates property to fix the Item column since the query groups on item guaranteeing uniqueness. But that won't work for the Shipped and OnHand columns because adjacent items may have the same Shipped and OnHand totals. How do I hide the Shipped and OnHand values if and only if the Item is the same? Is this really a problem of hiding duplicates or do I need to break apart my query or find a sub-reporting solution?
Hello, I would like to not have to see the aspnet_ tables and stored procedures that are created when using the Membership, roles, and personalization. Currently I have to suffer seeing the handful of tables and 40+ stored procedures in both the Visual Studio and the SQL Management tool. I have found that on a 2000 SQL Server I can execute a command that forces objects to be created as system objects. If I execute this before creating the objects they become system objects and I don't have to see them any longer. However, this trick does not work in SQL Server 2005. So, I would like to know either 1) is there an easy way to hide these objects or 2) is there a way to change the objects to system objects in SQL Server 2005? CodeGuy
Is is possible to hide "salary" or other sensitive data from a person who is a Sys-Admin. My belief is that there is no way. Please correct me.....
Assumptions: SQL Service account has Local Admin privelege. Sysadmin can do anything on local machine, including run scripts adding themselves to any default/instance of SQL on the machine.
Please direct me to any other source of information for this topic.
