Hi
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?
Thanks

A simple tabular Report Builder report was written to feed another system that requires quoted CSV. I have two issues when exported:
1) I can't get control over the exported column names. Currently, they are exported as "FIELDNAME_Value".
When I try to change the column headings in the designer, it has no effect on the exported column names
When I create a New Field and specify my desired column name (e.g., COMPANY), the export appears as COMPANY_Value.
How do I control these names for the CSV export?
2) The spec calls for quoted text. In my export, only values with special characters are quoted.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I am sure there is a simple answer to this, but I cannot find it at the moment???
I have a simple data table in SQL which gives me Division, PL Measure and Value...
SQL Table
Division
PL_Desc
Result
A
Total Labour Costs
10
A
Total Sales (inc Machine Income)
100
B
Total Labour Costs
5
B
Total Sales (inc Machine Income)
100
C
Total Labour Costs
9
C
Total Sales (inc Machine Income)
100
I need to report on this and calculate a ratio, so I have pushed this into a Matrix Report but cannot work out how to get the ratio column to work???...
Matrix Report
???????????

New Column = Labour / Sales

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.
How? Why does the right chart move?
Thanks in advanced

Can anyone please help me out to create a Report Model to generate ad hoc reports
Hi,
I have a couple of reports that I created within the SQL Report Designer, I
would like to give the ability to the end user of C# Winform application to
be able to make modification to this .rdl file using the Report Builder,
however when I try and launch the report that I created within the Report
Designer using the Report builder I get the following error..
Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportBuilder.ReportModel.Report: The report
'http://localhost/ReportServer/MyReport)' cannot be opened because no data
source is associated with it. Associate a model data source with this report
and try again.
How can I resolve this situation.
I'm not sure if my approach is the best or if I'm I should be looking at the solution from another approach
Thanks
Hi!
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...
Is there a solution to my problem?

Hello -
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?
Thanks in advance,

I've got this data source that returns member information.. great.
I've got a function that when passed the member number and a month/
year returns days participating in the club.
I need to build a report that will output some of the columns for the
member, but then report other information for 6 months for each member
that all calulated based on days particpating for that month. Which 6
months will be dertimed by a single parameter passed to the report for
starting month/year... basically the next 6 months.
Is a matrix report a good option for this? Or should I just have the
function called 6 times in my data source? Ideally I layout the report
for one month and then *somehow* join in my data source for 6
iterations where month is 1 through 6.
Right now I'm having trouble wrapping my mind around how and where to
join the data? Especially if matrix and I have two data sources. I'm
also not sure I can call my function from cells in the matrix or if I
can even have mulitple data buckets in the matrix. I'm tempted to do
this the only way I know how, but I suspect there is a better way.
I've never built a matrix report in ssrs, any information or help is
appreciated.
Thank you!
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.
Is this possible? If so, how?
Thanks.
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.

Hi.
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?

Hi,
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..
Any suggestions would be appreciated...
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 have a very frustrating problem. But given that this is a development forum, I'll keep that for my 'Envelope Lickers Rehab' and instead talk about an issue I'm having.
I have a very large query (line-wise) that executes in less than a minute when run from the SQL Management Studio as well as via Excel Services.
It is a stored procedure with one parameter. When I try to prime the designer with this query it gives me the following message:
"Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.
The statement has been terminated."
I've considered cracking open the xml source and manually creating the fields, but I'd rather not go there.
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?
Thanks in Advance,
Toni

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.
Hi all,
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?
Any help appreciated.

How to design tables in SQL Server for the above.
I am currently migrating several Crystal Reports that have charts. The chart series is set to use the TopN values in a count, and combine the rest of the series into one series titled "Other". I see how to filter the chart using TopN, however I need to still show the rest of the data grouped as "Other". I think the solution I need is to create a group expression that uses some sort of IIF function to create the "Other" group, but I haven't found a function that I can use to get the results I need. Any ideas?

Hi all,
Drill through bar charts work great in the report designer preview, but as soon as I deploy the report, and view the report in a webpage, drill through does not work smoothly.
I have to move the mouse around to be able to find a place on the bar to click through to the next report. Sometimes, I am able to click on the bar to go to next report, but then sometimes I have to click on the label, and other times somewhere in the vicinity of the label.
Any help will be much appreciated.

Dear All,
I am facing one problem with reporting services 2005 (SSRS), When i try to pass a parameter to Cube which is built in SSAS, i can not use a parameter where i can type the value instead of choosing it from a dimension.
Any way we can type the value for parameter, instead choosing from the drop down? If can, then how can we create the parameter? and how can i write a MDX to read it?
Thanks.
Regards,
Swarna.
In SSRS reports i have multiple charts and tables. per page i have to display one chart and one table. How to put page break after the chart and table. I have not used rectangle. I created all the charts and tables in the body area.

hi friends,
i am having one crystal report from and one web application from which contains one crystal reportviewer i need to give the parameter in the web form and get the data for that parameter untill this its working fine for me.
my problem i need to display the value in the crystal report which i gave in the web form.
Hi,
We have developed few reports displaying data using chart layout. In the Data tab, we have specified MDX query that will return top 10 records.
But now, instead of restricting to just top 10 records, we would like to display all records and go in for pagination.
Is there some setting in the chart properties, where in I can display the first n records in first page, and the next n records( if available) in the next page and so on?
Can I specify the value of n somewhere in the propeties?
I read through many posts regarding pagination but those couldn't help me much.
Please help me in solving this problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
I have two data sets but from the same data source. I created two different tables from these two data sets. Now I want to include a chart too. But When I insert the chart, it gives a erorr message.
The dinfinition of the report/my report name is invalid.
More than one data set, data region or grouping in the report has the name'chart1_seriesgroup1'. data set, data region and grouping names must be unique within a report.
Does any body know why this happen?
Thanks
