Shown are two scatter charts on the same set of data, which contains some negative values. One is in Excel 2010 with the origin centered, the other is with Reporting Services. I would like the chart to display as in Excel. In SQL Server Reporting Services 2005-2012, is there any way to set the placement of the origin?
Excel
SSRS
Yes: click on each of the axes in the Report Designer and change the CrossAt property in the Properties window from Auto to the desired value (presumably 0).

We have an application that uses SSRS reports on SQL Server. The reports are in 2008 format (http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2008/01/reportdefinition).
We have a report where is a rectangle with a few textboxes, that are populated by the report parameters. One of the parameters can grow up to the length of 1000+ chars, so the textbox height ranges from 1 to several lines.
This was still fine, because the rectangle enveloping the textbox grew together with the textbox, but when deployed on the SQL Server 2014 RS, the preview (using the Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ReportViewer) in IE works somehow differently and the content of the textbox overlaps the rectangle.
This works fine with other browsers (opera, firefox).
Apart from
waiting for a ssrs fix
not using IE ;)
changing the SQL Server version
setting the rectangle width to some unreasonable value
is there any solution?
It seems that the only way is to replace the rectangle by several lines - surprisingly, those do resize and move exactly in the way to cover the content of the former rectangle. It is however hard/nearly impossible to position them perfectly.
I have a report that looks nicely aligned in the Visual Studio design screen, but when I check it in the preview screen or deployed on the report server, there are large gaps between each subreport and text box.
Is there any way to ensure that these are aligned in the actual report? Particularly in PDF form, which this will ultimately end up as.
I currently have a suite of about 25 SSRS reports. Some are very high level and from there you can drill into more detailed reports. Some of the high level reports are basically simulated pivot views of the data in a matrix with drillthroughs on each cell. A pain to set up, but it turned out pretty cool except that you can't manipulate it like a pivot table, you need to make a new SSRS report for each scenario that you might want to see.
I was wondering if it is possible to harness the power of PowerBI, maybe a powerpivot and drill from there into SSRS reports, passing the parameters that figure into the cell that you are clicking on?
I'm new to PowerBI and I started to set one up today but can't find any information about drilling into SSRS reports. Is this possible?
We're adding hyperlink support in current/soon to be available builds. You'll use it in two ways. First, you can specify a custom drill url on a dashboard tile. Just edit the tile properties and the option will be in the pane that opens. So you could point those urls to your SSRS reports. Second, in tables in your reports, you'll be able to have hyperlinks. So you could create a calculated column that returns parameterized urls that drill to your SSRS reports.
I have a full-text catalog containing PowerPoint presentations. Some of those presentations contain charts, and in those cases, the chart is usually the main thing on the slide. When doing a search, I therefore want to be able to search for the text within the chart (e.g. the labels on a pie chart, the categories on a bar chart, etc.).
I'm disappointed (and surprised) to find that this does not seem to work. I can search for text within the presentation itself, but not for any of the text on the chart.
Please tell me there's just a setting somewhere that I need to change!
[I've tried this for charts created within PowerPoint, and charts created in Excel and then pasted into PowerPoint.]
Gary, the text extraction from Office documents is handled by the Office Filter Pack and as such, there is nothing Full-text can do for embedded data which the filters do not parse.
I successfully repro-ed the problem in my SQL Server 2012 install with the latest Office Filters. A quick work-around would be to add the labels/categories to the Notes section of each slide which gets parsed and filtered and returned to the full-text indexer.
Need to generate some financial report where the formatting is controlled by the data
haven't done reporting in a while but does any reporting support that
e.g. based on a flag in the source dataset
the row text could be bold
the row could have an underlining
the report could start a new group header etc.
There is a component called the ReportViewer for WinForms which ships with Visual Studio. This will do exactly what you need. You can bind it to one or more DataTables and it will essentially render you a report in PDF or in XLS or what have you. If you don't need to present it to the user, just use the LocalReport class and call its Render() method.
