Using SSRS, I am creating a report that will show some payroll information. The desired layout is to have one page consist of a single employee's information for a single paycheck. It seemed to me that having a List and putting rectangles in it was the best way.
The problem is that I want black borders on each rectangle/text box, and they are appearing inconsistent. In Design/Preview mode in Visual Studio, it looks just how I would like. However, when I deploy to the server, it does not. Thoughts?
This is how it looks in the Design/Preview mode in VS
This is how it looks when deployed to the server. Notice the type and check date fields have space between them as well as the Job Class and Empl. Type fields, and the Printed field has grown vertically a little. NOTE: This is mock data
You need go to the Build-->select your Project and click on deployment the changes which were made by you will reflect in the SSRS Report.

I have an report, which was working fine on my old laptope but when i use the same in my new laptop is showing blank in place of data values like image below:-
enter image description here
But when i use same report after publishing on report server or i export it to excel. It shows actual values image given below.
enter image description here
What may be the reason. Please help, I checked everything like server connection, font colour, data in sql is coming fine with same query, even data is correct when we execute the query in query designer of SSRS.
Pls help, thanks in advance.
I tried checking connection.
Query execution in SSRS.
Font & Background color properties.
This issue is due to some screen setting issue I changed the scale from 150% to 100% and took control of my laptop from my old laptop through any desk now it is working fine for the last two days. I don't know what it did but seems like my issue is resolved.
I have a report (developed by a previous employee), some of the columns(data) are clickable, when clicking the number(data on some of the columns) it opens another report. But when in the design mode from the first report, I could not figure out the relation to any of the clickable report name. I have checked Action property and almost with my knowledge all possible, but still unable to locate the reference/pointer to another report. Could you please let me know, how do I locate the reports? or the pointer. As I need to add a filter and columns to most of the reports. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know how do I find and fix the report as I need to add a filter and add a column to all reports.
Also, I think it's drill through the report but unable to locate the link for each column, the reports are deployed into the reporting server and accesses through the UI portal
The main report has 6 clickable columns and I see all six reports in the reporting server as well. But not sure how those are connected and how the parameters are passed, as I need to add a new parameter and new columns to all the reports except the main report
Please let me know if you need more information
Thank you
I also faced the same issue while exploring an old SSRS report and after struggling for an hour I found the previous developers have defined this action property on the field's action property inside a textbox. So instead of looking at the textbox action property, look at the field's action property and you will find the drill through report name and parameters passed.
I'm learning how to use Microsoft SQL server report builder 3.0. I know there is a function in the report called autorefresh. It works when I simply run the report within the report builder. I'm thinking can it still be refreshed after the report is exported.
Another question may related to this autorefresh functionality. When I add dataset into report builder, does it actually load the data into report builder or set up a link between report builder and database? If it sets up a link does that mean when I change something in database, it will reflect on my report builder after I refresh it.
All I want to do is keep the report up to date even after I export it.
Really keen to know the answer.
Thanks in advance.
Make properties visible(View Tab > Check Box View)
Then navigate to report properties(Click on blue space around page). It should say Report in bold at the top of properties.
Expand the Other list and AutoRefresh is the first one.
It's by default set to 0. It's measured in seconds so changing it to 30 will make your report refresh every 30 seconds.
Just so you know, you'll find that even though reportBuilder is the new SSRS(BIDS), it's still very, very similar. So don't feel like you need to always only look at Report Builder only. SSRS tutorials and other facts will be either identical or similar enough to figure it out.
we have a large number of existing reports (.rdl files), the business need is to enable business users to change the text on those report directly, they don't have report designer of any sort.
So requirement is to create a WPF app, that will allow user to browse to one of those reports, display them in readable format (not as xml but formatted similar to what the real report looks like, as if they are opened in the designer), and then allow user to update the text (essentially the contents inside those tags), and save the report. so when it's ran it'll reflect those title, heading, text etc. changes.
Did some research there are something like ReportViewer, Syncfusion reportviewer that can take care of displaying part in WPF, but none of them seems to allow user to edit and save.
Are there any suggestions on what are the options to achieve this? I am thinking creating some mapping/translating between those xml tags and html so the content can be displayed in a readable format, and put those user editable fields in array of values to keep track of changes and replace back to the original .rdl file. but that all seem too complicated and also performance can be a concern...there should be a better way!
your help is greatly appreciated!
Instead of having these values stored inside the report, I would store them in the database. Don't have any static values in the report. Everything shown in the report is loaded as paramters that can be configured.
This way you can create a UI that allows you to change the values of these configurations and a button to load the report viewer with a fresh version of the report using these values. This wouldn't be a full on report editor but if you created some base templates that meet the business needs, they'd be able to make some general modifications to the report such as Titles, alignment, logos, etc.
I'm working on a report in SSRS 2005 that is a questionnaire with yes/no answers. Trying to get a checkbox on the report. Have tried using windings for the font and an iif statement to set the character, but that doesn't come out correctly when exporting to PDF. I'm using local reports, not from a report server.
The easiest/simplest solution is just to use an embedded image with a expression which sets the source of the image to the checked or not checked version. This will work across export types (except text/csv).
I am assuming however you want this to be non-interactive.
I'm about to venture down this path, as well (clients that require printed forms look exactly as they always have, basically). Did you try this suggestion?
Keith, aside from the image solution, what are the options?
