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.

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'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 creating a report such that when you click on a data point it opens up another report providing the details of that datapoint. My problem is the parameter passing. What I want to pass is the information from that datapoint.
Thanks!
Right-click the cell the you use to navigate to the sub-report and choose Properties. Click the Navigation tab. In the Hyperlink action section where it says Jump to Report click the Parameters button. This shows the parameters of the linked report and allows you to put expressions of what values you want to pass, such as field values, etc. To pass your parameter value, put in:
=Parameters!PropID.Value
For some weird reason i can not run my report, when i try to preview i get this error:
Here is how my tablix property looks like:
Any idea what to do? The current .rdl was copied from another one. I changed the newly copied .rdl values to match my needs. I always do that and works perfect, instead of creating the design from scratch every single time.
Just right click on your table => tablix properties=> and set dataset name you want from dropdown and then execute.
Looking at your pictures, in the picture up top the error mentions 'Tablix1' is invalid. The 2nd Screenshot, the name of the Tablix is 'Tablix2'. Try changing the name back to 'Tablix1', or using the Properties section see if you can select Tablix1 in the drop down, and possibly delete it.
You have an empty tablix in your report that is not associated with a data set. This will throw that error. Delete any tablix that does not contain data.
