I created a SSRS Report and I am Exporting it to an Excel Sheet. I am manually print formatting the excel sheet every time I want to print it.
The width of the report that I've created is slightly bigger so every time I print the excel sheet I go to Page Layout --> and set Width to 1 page.
Is it possible to do this in SSRS itself so that I don't have to make any manual changes to the excel sheet when I export.?
I googled, Couldn't really find any solution.
Layout of my report -
Other problem I am facing is -
When I export the SSRS report the footer doesn't exported properly
Check This -
The date doesn't get exported and I want the 'ABC' to appear in the center box but both date and the text appears in the same box.
This is how my footer looks in ssrs -
Please help. TIA
Regarding the issue with your Footer. It is exported to Excel, but you will not see it on the sheet like you do with the rest of the data. It uses the built in Footer functionality so that it can be repeated on every page.
Go to the Insert menu and click Header & Footer. You should see the footer like this:
Also, if you go to the Print Preview, you'll see that the footer is indeed repeated on each page.
Regarding the width issue, make sure you take the page margins into account when calculating the width of the report. These can be adjusted in the Report Properties. By default they are set to 1 inch on either side. So right off the bat you may be loosing 2 inches of space.

I am new to SSRS. I have created a report.
My report has four others reports in it. And I have set the page break. Page break works before displaying the new report.
So this way I get all four reports in separate tabs in excel. But now I want my report in PDF too. But after exporting to PDF, I get a blank page after each report.
Can I set the page break only for EXCEL and ignore if I export to PDF. Second my page doesn't fir while printing. In PDF it looks good. It is on single page. But when I try to print it shows half of the page.
I cannot check now but look at Globals!RenderFormat (I think it's called that).
If you can set the page break on an expression then you can use this property to determine if you need the break of not.
Something like
=IIF(Globals.RenderFormat.Name = "PDF", False, True)
If this does not work, add a thin rectangle between each report, set the page breaks on that instead by setting the rectangle's page break properties. and then set the hidden property to the expression above. You will have to remove the existing page breaks.
It will happen sometimes. Try to change margins in Report Properties.
Body content size should not exceed Report page size.
Body content size + margin size <= report width
For Eg.
Body content size = 6 inch
Margin right = 1 inch
Margin Left 1 inch
Report width=8.5 inch
So, 6+1+1<=8.5 then report will render properly. Otherwise new empty page will come. Check below screen shot of report properties.
Overall PDF report size should match with printer page setup. Then it will print properly.
I have been working on reports in Sql Server Reporting services and I am trying to create a tabbed report.
I wish to have a main report which read in parameter details from the user then in the report there are tabs to other reports which use the same parameter details entered by the user on the main report.
Anyone got any idea how to go about this ? Have tried creating subreports but it doesnt quite create that overall feel of a tabbed report.
There is no native feature for tabs, but you can create that functionality with a combination of existing features.
Add textboxes along the top which will be your tab names.
Add a hidden parameter which will track which tab is selected. Have the first value selected by default.
Add an action to each textbox which goes back to the report with a specific value passed to the parameter.
Add an expression to the border properties of each textbox so that you can visually see which one is selected. For example you can remove the bottom border for the selected tab.
Add a visibility expression to everything else on the report so that the items only show up when their tab is selected.
Now each time you click a tab, it will refresh the report and show that tab highlighted along with the content it contains. It's a lot of steps, but it's the best workaround I've found for this feature.
I've designed my SSRS Report like below,
Where First row, Third row and Fifth row has default value so I have used it as Header part for this tablix.
Now, the question is - when I run this report, it prompts to enter one number to get result. But if dataset does not returns any rows then I just want to show designed header part only? But currently it is not showing anything. What could be the problem or any solution to get only designed header part?
Please help me!
Note: When it returns the rows it is showing Records as well as designed header part also.
So I tried to achieve this by many ways, it was working fine in Report Builder 3.0 but when I run this report in IE,Firefox,Chrome browser it was not showing designed report tablix. If there would be data it will show whole report with designed header part as well as data.
1. I have created Two Tablix inside one SubReport-
First tablix
Just for design. (Without data part)
Second tablix
Contains both Header part as well as Data part.
Then I have Set visibility based on CountRows("Dataset") to show/hide Tablix1 and Tablix2.
It was working fine in Report Builder 3.0 but not in browser.
2. This one is the final option that I have tried and I achieved my goal with this way.
I have created two SubReport.
1 SubReport:
Only designed part (Without data part)
2 SubReport:
Which contains both Header Part as well as Data Part.
Then, I have added two Rows inside my Main report Tablix. and added both reports to different row.
Then, On Row Visibility I have checked =IIF(CountRows("Dataset")>0,True,False)
And it's working fine now in all browsers as well.
You have to add headers Outside Group in following:
I am stuck with one of the most irritating problem of SSRS. In my chart, I am displaying all months for months with data and without data. Reason being User wants to see all the months.
now where there is no data in any month then in the legend, SSRS is by default putting Series 1(dont know why called it Series 1)
Instead it should display "Declined", "Re-Directed", "Upheld" but what I am getting is
"Series 1", "Declined", "Re-Directed", "Upheld"

My problem is, User wants to see months with no data but she is not ready to see Series 1 in the legend and I have tried everything but couldn't figure out the solution.
Please help:
I know it's old but I found another way to hide Series1 on the chart.
Click on a Series
Go to the Properties pane, Appearance > (Hidden) option.
Click on the Expression button (looks like Fx)
Enter in the following:
=IIF(IsNothing(Fields!GROUPING_OPTION.Value)=TRUE, TRUE, FALSE)

Sorry- I don't have enough reputation to embed the image yet.
I found the answer to my question. I have updated my Stored Procedure. I wrote a Case Statement in Stored Procedure stating that where it's blank in the chart then show it as a 'No Data Yet' in the Legend.

Is it possible to hide or exclude certain data from a report if it's being rendered in a particular format (csv, xml, excel, pdf, html).
The problem is that I want hyperlinks to other reports to not be rendered when the report is generated in Excel format - but they should be there when the report is rendered in HTML format.
The way I did this w/SSRS 2005 for a web app using the ReportViewer control is I had a hidden boolean report parameter which was used in the report decide if to render text as hyperlinks or not.
Then the trick was how to send that parameter value depending on the rendering format. The way I did that was by disabling the ReportViewer export controls (by setting its ShowExportControls property to false) and making my own ASP.NET buttons for each format I wanted to be exportable. The code for those buttons first set the hidden boolean parameter and refreshed the report:
ReportViewer1.ServerReport.SetParameters(New ReportParameter() {New ReportParameter("ExportView", "True")})
ReportViewer1.ServerReport.Refresh()
Then you need to programmatically export the report. See this page for an example of how to do that (ignore the first few lines of code that create and initialize a ReportViewer).
I don't think this is possible in the 2000 version, but might be in later versions.
If I remember right, we ended up making two versions of the report.
