Reporting Services :: How To Rotate Text 180 Degrees Without Using Images
Oct 13, 2011
I'm currently working on a report and have all the requirements taken care of save one. I need to flip my text 180 degrees. I have seen how to do this by making an image on the fly and then rotating the image, etc. And that is what we previously had in place.
Unfortunately the reports are getting so large (20 images on a page, 150 pages for the report) that the reports will not print in their entirety through Citrix and cuts off after about 120 pages.
I also tried using upside down fonts which won't work as they flip the letter on a X axis as opposed to rotating them along a pivot. Sadly we can't reduce the number of occurrences per page or decrease the page count. So those are not options. They were the first things I asked about.
i would like to show all Labels available in a Chart and rotate the Labels 90°. How can i do that ? I changed the Propertie "Interval" to 1, "LabelsAngle" to 90, "LabelsAutoFitDisabled" to true in my Chart Axis.
I've looked around but am unable to find an answer that relates to my question.
Is there a way in Reporting Services in which you can display a report and have an Image Relating to that particular Person/Product etc for instance
[EmployeeID] [EmployeeName] [EmployeePic]
1 Bob Green Pic of Bob Green 2 Andy Green Pic Of Andy Green 3 Andy Tabble Pic Of Andy Tabble
In reporting Service i will have a group on EmployeeID, now i want a picture for each employee that will be hown in the table that relates to that row and and relates to the particualiar employee.
What whould be the best way to do this? at present i am looking at say pointers for images or actually storing the image in the database say tumbnail? how would i go about setting this up up in SQL 2005 Management Studio and what would be the best way in terms of Performance and Reporting Services
Using the "move" command it's possible to relocate e.g. datasources without negatively impacting reports that use them. We've got some folders where users have uploaded images for reuse in several reports as external images (2008 R2).
Now I'm trying to consolidate these folders. Yet it seems, moving images will not update the reports that use them as it happens with datasource. Instead, the link to the image breaks.
Is there a way to move the images and telling the reports that reference them that I did so?
We currently have reports for a client running on SQL 2000 RS. The strange thing (problem) is that we can see any embedded image in the Report when we Preview it, and view it on our testing server (SQL 2000), but at the client's site (also running SQL 2000) the images don't appear at all. The same goes for any graphs inside the report as well. This is very puzzling as we cannot find out what the problem is. The other strange thing is that we can see the images on the client's site when running them through Report Manager, but when we go through the application using the Reports, then the images do not appear at all. We have no idea of what's wrong. The app is running on 2003 Server x64, the database is being hosted on another server running 2003 Server, and the report server is running on another server running Windows 2000 Server.
Our system is set up using SQL Server 2000 and Reporting Services for SQL Server 2000. Our web application is built with Visual Studio 2003, C# and .Net Framework 1.1 and is a 3-tier application. On both our localhost and development builds of the application, the images that get rendered do show up properly. On our live build, the images do not.
One difference that we found is that on the live build, users do not have file permission access to our middle tier that is running reporting services. After examining the URL of where the image is trying to point to, we see that it is trying to access the middle tier from the front presentation tier.
My question is, is there a way to send a certain parameter into the Render method to have the images stored somewhere else? Any help would be greatly appreaciated. Here is the code we currently have:
ReportingService rs = new ReportingService(); rs.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
reportParameters[0] = new ParameterValue(); reportParameters[0].Name = "par_userID"; reportParameters[0].Value = userID;
reportParameters[1] = new ParameterValue(); reportParameters[1].Name = "par_menuID"; reportParameters[1].Value = menuID;
reportParameters[2] = new ParameterValue(); reportParameters[2].Name = "par_URL"; reportParameters[2].Value = reportURL;
reportParameters[3] = new ParameterValue(); reportParameters[3].Name = "par_startPage"; reportParameters[3].Value = startPage;
reportParameters[4] = new ParameterValue(); reportParameters[4].Name = "par_endPage"; reportParameters[4].Value = endPage;
//Clean up old files RemoveFiles(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["tempFileLocation"]);
result = rs.Render(reportPath, format, historyID, devInfo, reportParameters, credentials, showHideToggle, out encoding, out mimeType, out reportHistoryParameters, out warnings, out streamIDs);
// // For each image stream returned by the call to render, // // render the stream and save it to the application root // byte[] image; // string optionalString = null; // string tempFilePath = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["tempFileLocation"].ToString(); // // foreach (string streamID in streamIDs) // { // image = rs.RenderStream(reportPath, // "HTML4.0", // streamID, // null, // null, // reportHistoryParameters, // out optionalString, // out optionalString); // // FileStream stream = File.OpenWrite(tempFilePath + streamID + ".png"); // stream.Write(image, 0, image.Length); // stream.Close(); // }
// Write the results to the current Web page string htmlout = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(result); htmlout = htmlout.Replace("<hr/>", "");
Hi, I'm trying to insert the Url for the image control in the Report designer. As per your article there should be an option (radio button) in Image Wizard to use set the URL for the reports. But i do not get that option at all. All i get is these options a) - Embedded b) - Project c) - Database I do not get a URL option. My problem is that i have a URL path to the images that are stored on a Web Server. I would like to this path to be the source of the Image control. I can't make it work. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, GJ
When i change my managed pipeline mode to integrated mode for my web application, the ssrs reports with images in it are not loading. It is showing as cross mark. However it works in classic mode.
Is it possible in the SSRS Report Designer to rotate a textbox to run vertically, or simply to rotate the text in a textbox ? I have only seen this done within axes lables of charts, but not text boxes.
Basically i have 3 images capacity per record in my asp.net application. In there i am saving the image path with record id in database and image in my application folder.
Now i am creating SSRS Report in Report builder . In there i have taken one image control to show the images. In the Image properties in report builder i have chosen database under the select the image source field. then inside use this field i have chosen image url and in use this MIME Type i have selected image/jpeg. Now i have saved this report in report server folder.
Now while calling in .net web from through report viewer control. It is opening the report but wont showing the image.
I have a matrix with a title column. My matrix has a column that is expanded in 2 with data changes as followings:
MY TITLE1 MY TITLE2 YEAR 2007 YEAR 2008 } matrix matrix Column column } matrix
How can I change de title (MY TITLE2) differently according to the changing value of the dynamic data column ? My title2 has to be located above the YEAR 2008 and has to be different from MY TITLE 1.
Thank you for your help. Best Regards, Hirondelle.
I have designed a form and created two parameter fields to accept username and password from the user. Based on the values entered above, I am validating inside a stored procedure. I am unable to mask the text the user enters in the password field. I could not locate any mask property. Anybody can help me?
I was trying to write a custom legend text for a chart that I have in SSRS. In the chart I have a Bar chart and a Line chart. I have two values coming from a dataset. One is a running value. All the series values are from year dataset.
I need to get a custom legend text for the three data series looking like this. "2013- Mth", "2014-Mth". Year should be dynamic and coming from the dataset.
I tried writing an expression in the series legend option as shown below.
But I don't get the required text for the chart. I only get the default series text for the legend. If I only write a text without the dynamic year taken from the dataset columns I get the custom text. But not when I concatenate the dynamic year series with the static text. Any property to enable/disable?
I have a requirement, I want to display the employee status report. In status report, if the status=0 ,I need to display inactive.. if the status=1 active and if status=2 archived.. I am getting values from table like below. I need to change to text.How can we achieve the same.
what i need is very simple ...i just want to show very long strings in sql reporting services report but i can't find any way to wrap up the very long text in the text box of a matrix ..i mean there is no property says word wrap or text wrap in sql reprting service..there are can grow and can shrink properties but these is not what i want....when i set it as can grow false then user has no way to read the rest of the text , there is no preview when i set false 'can grow' propety.. basically what i want is , users are able to read the rest of the text when they move the mouse over the text and can grow should be false , so column will not take any space... please help !
I need to validate my text box value for instance when the user will enter the value if its 6 - 10 character its fine but if it's less than 6 I have to display a message invalid value.
I have database fields that contain RTF text. If I use the default Textbox in SSRS 2008 Report Designer, I get all the RTF formating characters, which makes for a VERY ugly report.Is there another control I can place on my report that will take the RTF formated text and display it properly? I can do this in Crystal Reports, but I'm converting to SSRS 2008 so I need to be able to handle RTF formated text.
I have a data field in a SSRS Report that contains the requestor's User Id. Their ID is prefixed with "PRIV"...And I'm assuming that is the direct result of the network domain. I need to create a SSRS expression to determine if the User ID is prefixed with "PRIV" and then parse that out and use what's behind the "" as their true User Id.
example...."PRIVID123456" should appear as "ID123456" in the report data line.
I have a user table with Label and value fields where i would like to control the display of the text boxes based on the values selected in my user table.Can we adjust the text box positions dynamically based on the user table values.
Ex: Table
Label1 Field1 Label2 Field2 Label3 Field3 ID 100 Dept Sales
Report Design :
Label1: ID Field1:100 Label2: Field2: Label3:Dept Field3:Sales
Expected Result :
Label1: ID Field1:100 Label3:Dept Field3:Sales
In my table i don't have values for Label 2 & Field 2 , can we adjust the spacing conditionally to be utilized by Label3 & Field3 in SSRS.
Note : Above mentioned data is just for an example and in my actual report i can have more than 3 columns and report is looking ugly with all the spacing if i don't have data in all the fields.
I tried creating Toggle Option over a Text box to Show the Image on Click but Since the Toggle refreshes the entire report user faces performance issue. Is there any other option to avoid the Toggle Refreshing the report or to show an image on Click of an Text Box?
When I install SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services SP2 on Windows Vista, Reporting Services and Full-Text Search are not being installed. My user account is configured as a Standard User. When I initiate the installation, I'm prompted for the password for the administrator user account.
During the System Configuration Check, I get a warning for the IIS Feature Requirement action. The associated message says: "Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) is either not installed or is disabled. IIS is required by some SQL Server features. Without IIS, some SQL Server features will not be available for installation. To install all SQL Server features, install IIS from Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel or enable the IIS service through the Control Panel if it is already installed, and then run SQL Server Setup again. For a list of features that depend on IIS, see Features Supported by Editions of SQL Server in Books Online."
KB Article 920201 ("You receive a warning message on the System Configuration Check page of the SQL Server 2005 Setup program on a computer that is running Windows Vista or a Server Core installation of Windows Server "Longhorn"") seems to address this issue. I used the Windows Features applet and selected all of the Internet Information Services items that were listed in the KB article; however, the "Windows Authentication" item was not in my list. ("IIS Metabase" and "IIS 6 WMI" were in my list but were worded differently--"IIS Metabase and IIS 6 configuration compatibility" and "IIS 6 WMI Compatibility", respectively--but I selected them both.) When I re-ran the SQLEXPR_ADV installer, I got the same warning...and Reporting Services and Full-Text Search were still not installed.
I went back into the Windows Features applet and selected all of the remaining unselected "Internet Information Services" items, and then re-ran the SQLEXPR_ADV installer. I got the same warning...and Reporting Services and Full-Text Search were still not installed.
It's frustrating that there is no obvious reason or error message as to why Reporting Services and Full-Text Search are not being installed. Are these features compatible with Windows Vista? Does anyone have an idea as to what the problem might be?

I want to sort this field interactively.I have already sorted other fields, but as this field is text but has decimal data, its not sorting properly. How do I do this correctly? Once sorted ascending, report should show
Version 1.0.0.0 1.2.0.0 1.4.11.0 2.0.0.0 2.1.8.8 2.2.32.7
I am using SSRS 2008 R2 Report Builder 3.0 (10.50.4276.0) . I have simple set of data which has a persons Title and Name e.g. Mr Smith, Miss Jones, Doctor Foster
The report has a parameter where the user can select which records to show based on the matching titles (Mr, Miss, Doctor)
The Query for the report uses Title in (@Title) where @Title is the only parameter which can take multiple values. The report works correctly for any 1 value selected, but as soon as 2 or more values are ticked in the drop down, it fails.
I believe the parameter value is being passed into the query with a comma separating the values e.g. Mr,Miss which causes the IN statement to give an error, as the statement would be where Title IN ('Mr,Miss') which does not match any of the data values.
The parameter value passed needs to be 'Mr','Miss' for the IN statement to work. What statement do I have to put in the report query to get it to select any of the data rows where the title matches any 1 of the selected values?
I need to set a field value based on two date time parameter's.What is the correct syntax to allow me to pass the value into the field in my SSRS expression ?
I was trying to export a report which contains a number format. When I do that, all the numbers in excel will have a green small tag beside it saying "Convert from Number to Text".
Is there anyway that I can change the format to a number when I export it to excel?
on this report, am having ids separated by '^'.when I export to excel, I wrote the expression as
=Replace(Fields!Id.Value,"^",Environment.NewLine)
It is working fine, but the problem is if I have only one id in some scenario, then this case that cell is showing an error "The Number in this cell formatted as text or precedence by apostrophe" .But in other scenario,If the ids are separated by "^", then this case that cell wont show any error. So I need to display the cell wont have any error symbol if I have only one id .How can I achieve this?.
