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 am creating a report that for the most part is populated automatically by using variables, parameters with my datasource and dataset. I am trying to add in another column that will have a checkbox, where when the user pulls a report he or she can manually go in and click a check box for various rows. The clicked check box is done by the user and there is no need to send or retrieve data with this check box. Is there a simple solution to where I can add a checkbox for the user to check (and uncheck) various boxes?
SSRS does not deliver this kind of functionality. You would need to have a flag for every displayed row somewhere in your database and add two images to your report, a checked and one unchecked "checkbox" image, show those images on each row (source over expression) based on the flag of the row. Add an action to the image, that executes a storedProc and flags or unflags the row (pass an unambiguous id as parameter).
This is rather dirty, but would work.
I'm not sure if this is possible but here goes. What I wish to do is create an additional tab within my report as I wish to add an extra text box after details.
When adding the textbox within the details tab it repeats after every grade as shown below.
If the textbox is placed in the footer it only shows at the bottom of the page shown below.
I wish the textbox to appear as shown in the image below.
Ideally I would like to add an additional tab below details within the design view to place this textbox and a page break. Shown below is the design view.
If anyone can give some light on how this can be done that would be great.
Thank you for your time
You need to switch on the Footer for the Students_StudentID section.
This is done in the Group, Sort and Total pane.
I am using SSRS2008R2, On my main report there is tablix inside tablic there is row (merged cells) which contain sub report. Subreport is initially hidden and toggled by other cell.
When I preview my report it is working fine, I can show and hide sub report clicking on "referat" cell.
But my problem is that for every row inside tablix SSRS generating subreport, That task take a lot of time. I want to make my hiden reports do not contain data and do not call SQL during first execution of report when they are hidden. I want to subreport do SQL call just before user expand (show). I know that I should pass different params to sub report so it can realize to do or not calling sql (sprocs). .
But I do not know how to pass that parameter to subreport, or how to check is something hidden or not so i can change my param to subreport.
The problem is that the Value of the parameter is not recalculated when you click on "referat" and the sub-report becomes visible. In other words, all sub-reports are run up front regardless of whether or not they are hidden. My suggestion would be to use linked reports instead. Under the Action section on a textbox properties you can select "Go to report". This may not be as visually appealing, but the sub-report will only be run when it is specifically requested.
Another question for you Filemaker Pro experts. The database I am developing starts with a Main layout with a number of buttons (e.g. insert new item, show all items, etc.). Each button is associated to a script, which takes the user to the relevant layout. In each of these layouts I show the buttons in a row, and highlight the current layout with inverse colour.
My problem is that some of the buttons lead to the same layout, viewed in different modes, and I don't know how to conditionally highlight the right button.
For instance, Insert new item and Show all items take to the same layout, however in the first case the script views the layout as a form and inserts a new record, while in the second I view as a list and show all records. The layout is the same, though, so I'd need to enact a conditional formatting based on something. How do I do that, and what should I check against?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards.
Presumably you are currently using the formula: Get (LayoutName) to decide on your conditional formula, why not try additionally using formulas: Get(WindowMode) and Get(LayoutViewState)?
You could conditionally format the button if (which sends user to MyLayout in browse mode):
Get(WindowMode)=0 and Get(LayoutName)="MyLayout"
Or (which sends user to MyLayout in form view):
Get(LayoutViewState)=0 and Get(LayoutName)="MyLayout"
.
Other functions which may help could be Get(FoundCount) and Get(TotalRecordCount). You can see the entire list of Get functions here.
I am building a SSRS 2005 report that has potentially multiple pages. I would like to put in a hyperlink so that it appears on the top of every page. The hyperlink links back to the same report - basically I have a "summary" and "detail" mode and want to have hyperlinks to switch between.
So far I tried two approaches:
Put a textbox in the body, and in Properties -> Navigation, jump to a report. This works fine except it only shows on the very first page.
Drag the same textbox in the header of the report. Now it appears on every page, but clicking on it results in an error message: "The source of the report definition has not been specified".
google turned up nothing, what now?
Thanks.
The best way to do this is to implement the summary report to drill-down into the detail report and use the data on the detail row of the summary report's table to access the detail of that row as a detailed report. For example, let's assume the summary report is a list of invoices with total billed, and the detail report shows the items that were on that invoice.
Right-click the InvoiceNumber field in the detail row of the table and choose Properties
Click the Navigation tab
Click the Jump to report radio button and select the detail report from the drop down list
Click the Parameters button and fill in the parameter name and value - in this example, the parameter name might be InvoiceNumber and the parameter value would be =Fields!InvoiceNumber.Value
Click OK twice and you now have a hyperlink from the summary report to the detail report where the user can drill-down to get the detail of each invoice
Its also good to give a visual indication that this is a hyperlink so I set the Color to MediumBlue
If you just want to link directly to the complete detail report from the summary report and vice versa, you can use the same style on navigation settings but this time do it on a textbox on the header row of your table and make sure that the header has the RepeatOnNewPage property set to True so that it appears on every page.
To make your report go back to the home page
Right-click the Title field in the detail row of the table and choose properties
Click the Navigation tab
Click the Bookmark ID and type ="Home" Click OK twice now have a hyperlink to the home page
Place a text box on where pages are being created then right click on it and choose properties
Click the Navigation tab
Click the Jump to report radio button and put ="Home" Click OK twice
type the word Home in the box
