I addressed this situation in another thread, but since the thread had not been updated for some time I felt a new thread may have been warranted to included uptodate information and requests for further updates.
I will refresh the topic's primary issue:
When using a matrix, a developer wanted to provide column headers atop the columns to help users distinquish between multiple columns of the same relative data type(columns of digits, etc.)
The space in the upper left corner of the matrix will create a void that cannot be broken down or divided so that a column header label can be applied. It's either one label for the whole void or nothing at all.
The problem is that when the report is run and rendered the rectangle txboxes are no longer aligned at the bottom. Even though the text within the textboxes is set to the bottom.
Instead the rendered version appears like this.
Thus rather than having the labels inside the rectangle textboxes aligned at the bottom so that they appear more in-line with their assigned columns, they are automatically top-justified and this makes the labels look awkward.
So does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get the rectangle textboxes to be aligned adjacent to the tops of the row columns so that their labels appear in-line with their appropriate columns?
Is it possible to repeat the row labels for matrix reports where there are multiple groups. So if the matrix report rows are department,division,employee then have all three labels show up on each row not just at the breaks. Cannot seem to find a way to do this. thanks
Measurement M1 Measurement M2 etc.... Unit U1 Unit U2 Unit U1 Unit U2 etc...
Item I1 123 456 120 450 Item I2 111 444 110 440
I'd need to add the manufacturing date of the item to the report. For this I need an extra column next to the row header column (in red) and also a field header (in purple).
Measurement M1 Measurement M2 etc.... Art. Date Unit U1 Unit U2 Unit U1 Unit U2 etc...
I've tried copying and pasting the first column of the matrix, inserting columns or rows, but I allways end up with an extra grouping level, which I don't want. The date is the manufacturing date of the item, so it is an attribute of the item, not a separate level of detail.
Anyone knows how to add this extra column to the row header ?
Also, how do I add a column header like "Art." or "Date" in the example above ? I was thinking of placing a text box above the first cell of the matrix, as a kludge.
hello, I'm having a strange problem with a matrix headers. I can't put column headers above each row group header. There is a merged cell above them, which can't be split. If I have several row groups, including Customer ID and Zipcode, I can't put headers above them to identify them in the matrix. Since both have 5 numerals, they can be confused.
I have a matrix report, which looks like the following:
Header C Header D
Column A Column B Column C Column D
Column A and B are Row Group columns in the matrix. Column C and D are the details columns. How can I add column header to column A and B. Seems I cannot do it in Reporting Services 2005.
Is there a way to dynamically make report header and footer fields change location (or size)? I have many matrix reports that grow in width and then the header and footers do not look good.
Another example is I have a line that is in the header...I would like this to grow to the width of the report, which again is not static on a matrix report.
I've a matrix report with two row groups. One of the row groups has been used to do alternate coloring in report rows. The issue is that the header text that I've provided for the row group repeats twice. Another interesting point to note here would be this doesn't happen in the report preview but only when the report is displayed through a report viewer in an ASP.Net application. I can guess that it must have got something to do with the invisible row group but can't get my head around on how to avoid it?
The report currently looks something like below:
Month 2007 2008
Month Total Ave % Total Ave % ----------------------------------------------------------------------- January 12 6 1.5......................etc etc.
I want the text "Month" to come only once. Thanks.
Hi All -I am updating four values. What is the proper syntax to have thefollowing 4 update statements as one statement?set objRec = objDB.Execute("Update orientform set session = '" &strSession & "' where id = '" & strid & "'")set objRec = objDB.Execute("Update orientform set fname = '" & strfname& "' where id = '" & strid & "'")set objRec = objDB.Execute("Update orientform set gender = '" &strgender & "' where id = '" & strid & "'")set objRec = objDB.Execute("Update orientform set lname = '" & strlname& "' where id = '" & strid & "'")Thanks,Joey
I need to create a new excel file daily and then need to mail it. The problem iam facing is that ,when i schedule a job the task that dumps data into excel(Dataflow task ) gives a validation error.Everytime i need to manually link the sheets of the excel to the corresponding tables. Any idea why this is happening?So iam unable to schedule as a job...
I need some help. I am writing a report in SSRS 2005 that I then need to export to Excel. When I put a report header I would expect the header to not display in the Excel spreadsheet until the Print Preview or the Print. The report footer works just fine I put some text in the footer, and it shows up in the footer. The header though, shows up as a row in the Excel spreadsheet that then causes columns to merge. How do I get the report header to act like a page header?
I am making a book-like report, I am using a report that has a header and calling a sub-report that has it's own header. However the sub-report header is not showing on the parent report. Parent report header is prevailing over the sub-report. Is it possible to have both headers displaying?
I have a report that I created and the report was working until I added some fields to a group footer row in a table.
My table has 5 group levels. I had information displaying in the 5th level header group and detail. It was working fine. Then I added some fields to the 4th level group footer. Now it displays only the Page header, Table header, and the 4th level group footer data.
What happened to the rest of the data?
All the cells and rows I want to display have the Visibility Hidden set to false. I tried removing the objects I added (to the 4th level group footer) and it still does not work. Is this a bug or did I set something that is hiding the data.
There is a one header in the report, when I publish and hit the report in IE(internet explor) the header appears fine on first page when I go to next page this header does not appear.
But in mozilla the header is visible on every page of the report. so it is working fine in mozilla.
I got the following code to add a column in a matrix with a variance:
IIF(IsNothing(Previous(Sum(Fields!Amount.Value))) or Fields!year.Value=First(Fields!year.Value,"Category") or Previous(Sum(Fields!Amount.Value))=0,nothing, ( (Fields!Amount.Value) /Previous(sum(Fields!Amount.Value)) ) )
This code works fine, except that the first row of the matrix shows an #error
This happens with each matrix where I use this expression. A warning emerges:
rsruntimeerrorinexpression the value expression for the textrun Textbox43.Paragraphs[0].TextRuns[0]' contains an error.
Attempted to divide by zero.
The strange thing is that the part
Fields!year.Value=First(Fields!year.Value,"Category") should prevent an error and I expect it to show 'nothing'
An screenshot of the table. (each color is a different category. Each row stands for 2013, 2014, 2015)
As you can see, all other 2013 rows show a blank cell, except the first row.
I have a Matrix table that expands to the right when choosing an amount of months to be shown. Under this matrix I have to Charts. The two charts are situated together, that is no space between them, and to the left of the report.
Now, if I choose a lot of months, say three years the matrix diagram will be huge to the right. The problem I have is that the second diagram, the one on the right, moves to the right depending on how big the report gets, and this is not good at all. The two charts are supposed to be all the way to the left.
Labels as the ones are easy recognizable when you explore LDFS by mean DBCC or whatever but on the contrary the following ones are tricky to reach the meaning:
LOP_IDENTITY_TYPE LOP_DELTA_SYSIND LOP_SET_BITS
Does anyone have any link related with this? I tried hard to search by Goog or something like that but unsuccessfully at all.
I have a page that is part of a 5 page wizard. The wizard gathers data for a claim filter.

Hi, We are having trouble getting labels to print correctly when there is a lot of data close together on the labels. These are more than just address labels, so there are many lines, graphics, and borders. Are there additional tools or suggestions for keeping labels consistant? Thanks
Ok, I'm an idiot. Does anyone out there have some step by step instructions for creating a report that will do mailing labels. I've got multiple columns on my report but I end up with the contents of each column being the same across each grouping/row. In other words for each record read, since I have three columns, I get three occurances of each customer and address until all the data selected for that row is presented, then I go to the next customer which again is repeated across all three columns.
I'm sorry I'm so stupid, but I've looked at other entries on the forum, and I just can't figure it out. We are trying to get out from underneith Business objects thumb and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! - Eric -
Is there a SQL statement that I can use which allows me to set value lables in a result set? For example, if a table has a gender variable with values of 'M' & 'F', can I write a sql statement which creates a result set that changes these to 'Male' & 'Female' so that everything I do with the result set shows the new labels (but does not change the underlying M/F values in the orginal table?
I do not want to create a new table, but rather display the M/F values as Male/Female when I access the result set in an application (such as Report Services).
Just want to ask if anyone has encountered the same problem..
I have used the Simple Bar Graph to display the list of employees with the most number of emails/chats and sorted it so that the highest number of emails will appear at the bottom of the graph. The problem is that the graph doesnt display a label on the highest number of email/chats. It displays the number of email/chats that the other employee has and its only the employee with the highest number of email/chats that has no number label. It just wont show and I have no idea now on what to do about it.
In above format:15-10 means Oct 15, 15-09 means Sept 15I am getting issues while formatting this in SSRS.I need SSRS table headers to be dynamic. I need that it should be according to the sql table header...The table header should change according to the sql query
hi there, i have a payment page which uses javascript to calculate payments and what remains etc. That all works fine, the problem i have is that when you are finished and you go to the next page it should save all of the records to the order table where the order_id = a querystring. Now i have tried using an insert method and an update method, not really sure whats the difference when putting data into an existing record. What happens though is that i can save the contents of labels etc but it wont save the content of dropdown lists (of which there are 2) i just cant work it out, i have posted my code below string strOrderID = Convert.ToString(Request.QueryString["OrderID"]); string strDiscountPercent = Convert.ToString(5656);double dblDiscountMoney = Convert.ToDouble(txtDiscountMoney.Text); string strPaymentMethod1 = ddlPaymentMethod1.SelectedValue;double dblPaymentAmount1 = Convert.ToDouble(txtPaymentAmount1.Text); string strPaymentRecipt1 = txtPaymentRecipt1.Text;string strPaymentMethod2 = ddlPaymentMethod2.SelectedValue; double dblPaymentAmount2 = Convert.ToDouble(txtPaymentAmount2.Text);string strPaymentRecipt2 = txtPaymentRecipt2.Text; string sConnectionStringCustInfo = "my connection string"; SqlConnection objConnOID = new SqlConnection(sConnectionStringCustInfo); //This is the sql statement.using (objConnOID) { objConnOID.Open(); string sqlUpDate = "UPDATE tbl_order SET discount_Percent = " + txtDiscountPercent.Text + ", discount_money = " + dblDiscountMoney + ", payment_method1 = " + strPaymentMethod1 + =========== this is the problem line here! ", payment_amount1 = " + dblPaymentAmount1 + ", payment_ref1 = " + strPaymentRecipt1 + ", payment_amount2 = " + dblPaymentAmount2 +", payment_ref2 = " + strPaymentRecipt2 +
"WHERE order_ID = " + strOrderID;
SqlCommand objCmd1 = new SqlCommand(sqlUpDate, objConnOID);
try {
objCmd1.ExecuteNonQuery(); }
and because it throws an error it wont update the database with any other record. does anyone have any ideas, i have spent hours last night trying to figure this one out and im sure its simple! but i need some help!
I have a horizontal barchart with integer values, both positive and negative. Major gridlines are shown and I have not specified the interval or the label format. Sometimes the gridline labels (Y axis) show decimal values. Is there anyway to format these? I have tried to format the labels as "#0" but then I see labels occuring twice. I have also played with the intervals, but then sometimes, depending on the values, the zero line is not being shown.
