I just created a data source and now I'm adding a data set. I'm using a dataset that is embedded in my report and then I go click on Query Designer... and it tells me No cube can be found. I click okay and then it tells me No Query Designer is Available. Every time I click on Query Designer... again, it just goes straight to the No Query Designer is Available window.
I looked around for some answers, and some people said that the cube's visibility might be set to false in its properties. However, I checked and it was true. I don't know what to do anymore.
Is there any way I can get this MDX Query Designer window to open? Did I do something wrong?
I don't know if you managed to fix this problem, but when it happened for me it turned out to be a permissions issue with my data source.
I'll put this as an answer here just in case it helps anyone else out - I found the cube visibility answers quite misleading (although obviously it has helped some people).
I was able to fix this same problem.
I had an embedded datasource defined that connected to my cube. I temporarily created another dataset, selected to embed this dataset in my report, selected the embedded datasource and then attempted to use the Query Designer. It worked for this new dataset. So I then cancelled the creation of the new dataset, went back to the old non-working dataset and was able now open the Query Designer window

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.
To the best of my knowledge, I'm correctly importing my MS-SQL data source in the Control Panel (It says successful in green). I'm also pretty sure I'm importing the data correctly into the Windows 7 Publisher app since I can view the data in the DataView:
but when I go to the Layout View or Run Preview, I just get a blank chart:
It works if I use the default SimulatedTable but once I change the data source to my MS-SQL table, I can't get anything to display, no matter what display element I'm trying to use.
I've tried re-importing the data, using a different MS-SQL table, and re-naming the columns to match the SimulatedTable but it doesn't change the result. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Please try one thing, I am just guessing it might work.
Please select one of the Time Preset buttons and see if you see data in that(where there is blank) chart object.
If yes, then while setting up the time navigator object, select an option in drop down box labeled "Default Time Range Preset"
There are some hacks, please do let me know if run into some weirdness. It might not make sense if i try to explain unless you run into that situation.
Cheers,
I ended up giving up on the Windows 7 version of the application and running a virtual instance of Windows 8.1 instead so I could install the Datazen Publisher app for Windows 8.1. It's FAR less buggy.
Not perfect, though.
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.
I am trying to learn WPF and how to connect and bind a sql database I have so i can return information etc. I have connected the database, the dataset is within solution explorer, the data sources are there for selection and there is a .edmx file within solution explorer.
I am trying to drag a table across from the data sources to the main window in the mainWindow.xaml page. I am getting this error. Can anyone advise on what I have to do.
"Cannot add the control to the design surface or bind to the control because the type wpftryout.CiaranTestDataSet cannot be resolved. Please try to build the project or add necessary assembly references."
As per my knowledge, There is no direct way to include SQL Database object for Display purpose. What you can do is get information from database in one table and then you can bind your information to specific object As mentioned in below link

I had the same problem. After reading this: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/9fc4f835-d6c0-4d04-86c2-779c1f8e0791/unable-to-drag-data-source-to-control-to-bind I created a new project on my C: drive (rather than the network location VS defaulted to) and it suddenly worked fine!
We have a windows program written in vbasic(i think) and we are re-writing the same program in c#. In the old program there is a grid. When we click any cell and as soon as edit the cell content the data in database is changing. In our new program we couldn't find the way of doing that. So we added some buttons for database actions like update selected cell.
What is the best way to do that?
You can do this in c# too.Use a datagridview and to bind with the database so that change in the grid effect database see here
Out of seeing dozens of legacy ODBC frontends put together in Access I would strongly advice not to commit changes in the database at real time. Instead try to create a lightweight process that helps the users to keep their data's quality high.
If you want this kind of functionality you could have the real time changes saved in a different schema, a set of different tables or with a flag that tells that these rows are unverified edits by the user X.
Rasel already gave you a pointer how to do the functionality in C#.
