Reporting Services :: SSRS To Avoid Writing MDX Query?
Sep 21, 2015
When I use an SSAS cube in Excel the command text is just the name of the cube itself and does not require an MDX query. Is it possible in SSRS to avoid writing an MDX query?
I have two grids in two different pages. In that one grid have more number of columns compared another grid. In this case report takes width of the first grid which has more no of columns. So empty sapce in right side of the report is there for second grid. Based on the grid size reprt width should be there. How to avoid empty space in this?
This is making the heatmap look at the whole dataset instead of just what I am grouping by. Within the Dataset there are Regions and Credit Unions. Since the Dataset is looking at an entire region, the heatmap is coloring based on all data for the region. I need to heatmap to color based on the Credit Unions in that region. The Credit Unions are a group. I need the group to be the value it is referencing in the heat map and not "DataSet1". I have been told to use scope or a variable but cannot get it to work correctly.
I'm sure I'm not the only one frustrated trying to figure out which log file SSRS writes to when an error occurs. Does anybody know a sure way to tell? It doesn't change the date/time of the date modified, so you can't sort by date in windows explorer. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to which file it writes to. For example, I had to go through 6 log files to find which one was being written to. I had thought (hoped) that it would always write to the log files with the latest embedded date/time stamp as part of the file name. It does not.
I'm tempted to start using a file system spy, or resort to other tactics. Does anyone have a sure fired way to see which log file is written to when an error occurs? I'm not talking about SQL Dump files - just "normal" errors when processing reports.
I have one view, i written below query to get employee hierarchy based on orgid and employee name..
If i select employeename it shoukd show employee reporties(under employees and below employee reporties like tree structure)
It is running fast in SSMS Level, but it is taking more time in SSRS(Sql Sever Report Services), If i run this query in SSRS,Some times System not responding.
Declare @OrgId int Declare @EName varchar(30) Set @OrgId=56793 Set @EName='ABCD' Select EmpId
SELECT dbo.incident.incident_ref, Customer.cust_n,incident.date_logged FROM incident INNER JOIN Customer ON incident.incident_id = Customer.cust_id WHERE incident.date_logged BETWEEN @date_from AND DATEADD(day, 1, @date_to)
I need to use a condition here to display customer based on my selection in dropdown list (Include ABC )
Is it possible to use a parameter in a ldap query using the ADsDSOObject provider? I keep getting an error "The ICommandWithParameters interface is not supported by the "ADSDSOObject" provider". Command parameters are unsupported with the current provider.
I don't have a linked server on my DB server to Active Directory so I'm just querying in the SSRS report design. Here is my query for my dataset. If I hard code an example it works. Just doesn't work when I pass a parameter. I've tried making it an expression (= sign), Tried several syntax's, Tried everything I can think of. Is this possible? or do I just need to push for a linked server?
When I click on the DataSet Query Desginer there is an Error Source:.NetSqlClient Data Provider. why this error comes and I have executed the SQL query in SSMS succesfully and the result comes. However this is causing the report from the report manager to fail.
I am creating a SSRS report using a SSAS cube as it data source. The user would like to select multiple values from a reporting parameter that is then used as a filter on the MDX statement. I am bale to have the report work successfully when only one value is selected but not when multiple values are selected; the report uses only the first value from the reporting parameter when it contains multiple values. How do I filter an MDX query using a SSRS report parameter with multiple values?
We have 1000s of SSRS reports hosted on the SQL 2008 R2. All reports are supposed to have all parameters "hidden". Random reports have been reported to expose the parameter when developers accidently deploy to test servers. Is there a way to identify the reports and the parameter property (Hidden, Visible, Internal) from the Report server Database?
I checked executionlog2 but can not find the parameter property.
I have a column bar chart which displays values for each month. As per the requirement, I am displaying the column values by selecting "Show labels" options. I see few values overlap on the column bars.
I rendered this xml from SSRS 2008. Is there a way to avoid the "details_Collection" tab in the rendered xml doc. Please see the colored tabs. These tabs are created from groups named Company and Info.
I have created a package where in i'm running a WMI script, which is running fine but i have one problem with it i.e every package status is being written to the application event logs that is every start and finish is recorded and this packege is being executed every 10 min. Hence the logs are getting huge and unmanageable. So is there a way in which we can avoid this writes to the App log??????
I have a program where I have to do a weekly data upload of approx 1,500 records. I've written the sql, but need to know how I can add static header text to the SQL statement.the text I need in the header is Reportname(Static string) + #rows (Rowcount of the sql, int) + department (String static) I'm planning on writing it and saving it as a package, then schedule it to run every Friday at 5:00. But I have been reading a little on Reporting Services and wonder if people think it' might be the way to go? Is it a whole new area of security issues? Or is it worth installing and learning? I will have more and more reports I need to write that will increase in complexity, and want to know if I want to keep writing querys by hand, or use reporting services. Thanks in advance! Dan
We've got a requirement to build the real time report. user can browse report at any point of time and need to see the latest data(stock market) in the report.
I've few options down...
1. Directly point to OLTP database as source and write stored procedure to show result set.
2. Replicate the database and write the SP's to reports. To avoid pointing directly to OLTP db.
3. To build the datawarehouse with dim & facts to show it in reports. I prefer this as a standard method, but this would have some latency depending on trasaction load which will differ from the requirement.
We built our prod server [vm] with SQL Server 2008 R2 on Server 2008 R2. It works nicely. Then we made a copy of the VM and renamed it (so our test environment would be IDENTICAL to production). After that, SSRS was broken: I get "HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable." I can't connect via http, or SSMS.
We have tried:
* Running SSRS config tool (several times)
* Running with/without the IIS Server Role
* Dropping & recreating the SSRS keys
* Recreating the ReportServer database, etc
* Checking all of the accounts, permissions, etc
* Running SQL Repair
* Going through the registry to fix any references to the machine's old name
* Uninstalling, reinstalling SSRS
* Completely uninstalling ALL of the parts of SQL Server 2008 R2, deleting all directories, removing references to SQL Server from the registry, rebooting, reinstalling everything.
None of this has worked. SSRS [R2] is still 503 on our test box.
the SSRS [NT] service seems to run, without error. The Event Viewer doesn't seem to be recording any errors. The SSRS logs say that the default URL is wrong, but we get the same error in Prod, and Prod works fine. The other SQL Logs say something about not being able to contact the service. However, as I said, the [NT] service seems to be working fine.
Hey everyone...I'm completely new to SQL Server and I'm trying to learn the Reporting Services tool. I just installed SQL Server 2005 and selected to install all the options, atleast I'm 99.99% sure I did.
When I go to launch Report Services Configuration, I get "No report servers were found on the specified machine. Details: Invalid namespace". Do I need IIS for this to work?
Also, I do not think the AdventureWorks database was installed, I cannot seem to find it anywhere. I have tried to go back through and reinstall it, but it says that it is already installed.
Also, is there a certain order that you are supposed to install things? i.e. SQL Server before Visual Studios?
Thanks in advance.
*Edit* BTW, I'm using Windows XP, SQL Server Enterprise Edition, and VS.NET 2005.
Is it possible to have my pop up SSRS box size according to the size of the returned value? Issue is, i have a text box that returns a note field and depending on the number of notes, it can and will vary in size. I am currently using this code
I have a requirement to convert reports from Crystal Reports to SQLServer Reports. Is there any tool to do this? or Do I need to redesignevery report in SQL Server Reports?Madhivanan
I am using VS 2010 and the SSRS that came with it. I am sure its SSRS 2008. Anyway, I added a report file to the project, added an ObjectDataSource and connected this to SQLServer 2008, and display the dataset on the report. The report is using ScriptManager, ReportViewer1, and Report1.rdlc file. I preview the dataset and I have multiple row returned. The problem is I only have one row displayed on the report. Maybe I did a quick and dirty report? What setting of properties did I missed?
We are trying to use reporting services to execute a url when the SSRS report is executed. For example when I execute a SSRS report I would like the report to automatically access [URL] (as an example). The reason we are doing this is we want to access another reporting application but record the number and times of access via the reporting services execution tables/views. Is this achievable by putting some code in the Report properties. Can you open - execute url and then close report via some code.
I have a Manager dashbord report.In this report 1st page contains some tables and 2nd,3rd page contains line charts with tables.Actually what we need is in 1st page tables are pretty simple,we need to add kpi's and shown these tables in kpi. kpi in ssrs and how to add kpi in ssrs reports?
I have tried different techniques to design the report but no luck,
1) design staff 5 days schedule as a calendar between two dates and 2)each staff can have more than one schedule on the same day. 3)Only one staff per page. 4) week will start based on date ex: for staff 2 calendar will start based on date.
I was trying to have multivalue options in a ssrs report, and I used this query
SELECT {[Measures].[Sales Amount],[Measures].[Tax Amount]} on columns,non empty([Product].[Color].[Color],[Product].[Product Name].[Product Name]) on rows
from ( select (STRTOSET(@color)) on columns from [Analysis Services Tutorial])
But the report only showed the default value as an option(in this format [Product].[Color].&[Multi] whic is not presentable),and what I also noticed in the parameter option is that, the available values option is set to none , also when I try to use get from query , it does not give me the vales for the parameters,and when I right click the designer pane it does not have the show hidden dataset option.I have created the parameter with multivalue option. what can I do to get the multivalue option to work.
When the SSRS report exported to CSV file, all the column headers are added in the first row. The issue here is, I have hidden( thru Visibility property) some of the columns in the report but those columns are also displayed in the header row(first row)CSV file and the blank values for their corresponding data.for example, I have displayed only below 3 columns out of 6 columns in the report.col1, col2, col3but the CSV generated as below:
I have below query which is working fine in SQL but if i use same query in SSRS dataset then it is not working at all.If i put only one condition in where clause then it works but if i put multiple conditions then it does not works in SSRS and through error "data is not available".
SELECT id, DATEDIFF(DAY, Created, BMTRequestReviewDate) AS 'EvaluateDays',
all code goes here
FROM [dbo].[SBWT_Data] WHERE upper(Status) not like '%XX%' AND upper(Status) not like '%DELETED%' upper(Status) not like '%CLOSED%' ---OR WHERE Status NOT IN ('90 - Closed','XX - Rejected','XX - Request Rejected','XX - Deleted')
As you can see in code i have tried with both where conditions but it is not working. It seems that SSRS does not supports multiple conditions for same field.
From the image above, I am totaling the column HHMMSS is SSRS with the below expression:
=CStr(sum(CInt(split(Fields!HHMMSS.Value,":")(0)))+sum(CInt(split(Fields!HHMMSS.Value,":")(1)))60) &":"& CStr(sum(CInt(split(Fields!HHMMSS.Value,":")(1))) mod 60+sum(CInt(split(Fields!HHMMSS.Value,":")(2)))60) &":"& CStr(sum(CInt(split(Fields!HHMMSS.Value,":")(2))) mod 60)
I equally tried:
=iif(Fields!HHMMSS.Value = "", "", CStr(sum(CInt(split(Fields!HHMMSS.Value,":")(0))) +sum(CInt(split(Fields!HHMMSS.Value,":")(1)))60) &":"& CStr(sum(CInt(split(Fields!HHMMSS.Value,":")(1))) mod 60+sum(CInt(split(Fields!HHMMSS.Value,":")(2)))60) &":"& CStr(sum(CInt(split(Fields!HHMMSS.Value,":")(2))) mod 60))
and nothing works. What could be wrong with my expression?
