I have built a report pretty basic just a table wiht 45 rows of data. Problem is its only showing one row of data and its the last row. It displays just fine in the dataset and proc. any suggestiosn?
The table is in the body of the report.
make sure the fields don't have first() or last() in them.
probably you have put the fields in the header of the report
build your first report with the report creation wizard and after change it the way you want it
or you can just try create a table in the detail part (not header nor footer) of your report and drag some fields from the datasource explorer into the table, after click the preview tab and you will some a table with some records. good luck
You could check if there are any filters associated with the dataset. Click on the Edit DataSet button and check the Filters tab.

I am trying to replace our outdated shipping label program with a SQL Server report, and I am very green when it comes to doing this. I am testing using an ODBC connection with some sample data. I have created a DataSource which is a simple "SELECT * FROM LABELLIST" statement. Each row in this table contains ONE label.
In the DataSet I have each column that is needed (To, From, Carrier, PO, etc) listed. I have dragged the fields onto a blank report and in the expression it is set to "=Fields!FROMADDRESS.Value". As mentioned earlier, each ROW is a new label, but when previewing, I only get the first record as a label. What do I have to use (tablix, matrix, list, grouping?) to accomplish this and how?. I'm not sure how to search for this answer online and was hoping to get a reference page to read on how to do it. Everything I've found pertaining to labels or "row to page mapping" is showing how to print multiple labels/rows to one page and not each row to a single page.
EdIt: to clarify, each label is being sent to a zebra thermal printer and follows a similar format to a UPS or FedEx shipping label. Each row in the table will be one shipping label.
The key for you to understand is how SSRS handles Page Breaks. I have a similar answer here.
Whatever formatting you have for your labels should be placed inside a Rectangle.
Place this rectangle into a table with one cell that is grouped by label ID.
Set the group to page break between instances.
This makes the report repeat one instance of the label on each page. It can be a little tricky to understand at first, but it is a very useful trick. I have used this for reports like invoices where we needed one on each page.
I have designed simple SSRS report, the thing is like I have data which is splitted into master details using sub-reports, and I have kept these into a Row Group control in body part of main report.
Here the header which I placed in main report is getting repeated only as per row and it is not visible if a details of specific records is gets spilled over next page.
How can I show the header on each and every page irrespective of the row (record)?
Please find below screen shot for details.
Please see link to answer below:
You'll want to select the the Advanced Mode where you can select row detail. Here, you should be able to select the Static row columns. On the right in the Properties, you'll want to set "RepeatOnNewPage" to True
SSRS How to repeat the table header on each page in print preview
i want to be able to display a grid of business cards with an image of an employee in SSRS SQL 2008.
For this I have created a query pulling the following data from Employee table:
EmployeeID
EmployeeName
EmployeeImage
The images are stored directly in the database.
I have created a blank report, formatted it to have 3 columns (re sized it to a fairly small size), inserted a table and deleted all the cells except for one. I have added EmployeeID and EmployeeName into the cell. When run, the report displays exactly what i want: grid of employees with their ID and Name.
In order to display the image, I have added another cell to the original one-cell table and inserted the image control into it. The "Use this field" value of the image is
=First(Fields!EmployeeImage.Value, "Employees")
The inserted image is a jpeg, thus the MIME type is set to image/jpeg.
When i run this, i still get the list of Employees details as before, however the cell, where the image is to be displayed is empty.
Does anyone have any tips on how to achieve what i am looking for?
Thanks
PS: I have googled this without a luck
Just found the answer.
For some reason, i was being offered
=First(Fields!EmployeeImage.Value, "Employees")
under "Use this field".
When i typed in EmployeeImage, it started working.
No idea why this happened though.
I have a master report that has no parameters. But I have to include a sub-report with the same grouping as the master report. (i.e, the same report has to show data for the same project listed in the master report) I'm using different Datasets for both reports but the tables come from the same database. I've tried including a parameter into the subreport and pass the current projectID into the parameter of the subreport. It doesn't seem to be possible.
Is it possible to pass field values in master report as parameters in subreports?
I'm a bit curious on your "it doesn't seem to be possible" because I'm currently working on master report and subreport as well. The answer for your short question is "YES". it is absolutely possible to pass value from master report to subreport.
So Can you please check them again whether their properties are correct or not?
For example.
Your subreport's parameters are created properly?
You can try put your subreport inside detail row of your master report.
When you set properties of subreport, you can set which field of master report you want to be a parameter for subreport. it's quite straightforward.
Hope this help.
PS. sorry for my poor english.
Absolutely yes.
Put a dataset in your main report that will go through your projects as you want it. Then put a LIST, that's the key point. The list should refer to this dataset.
Now put your dataset inside the list's container area and set it's parameter to the project ID of your main report's dataset.
Easy.
This is just clarification of what the previous people said:
NOTE: In this example T9_PK is the primary key for Table 9 (i.e. the employee table)
The purpose here is to create a subreport that is the 'Time Card' for each employee, and then create a Main report that has all the employee Time Cards, each on a new page.
Create a report that uses a parameter (e.g. Parm: T9_PK) {This will be the Sub-report e.g. TimeCard.rdl}
Drag drop 'List' control onto design surface of a new report {This will be the Main Report}
Add a dataset to the Main Report that has a field that will end up being the Parameter of the 'Sub-report.
Drag the field (e.g. T9_PK) from a dataset {previously added to report}into the List 'Control.
Drag drop a Subreport control into the Cell of the List Control, on the Main Report (e.g. AllTimeCards.rdl).
Set the subreport to the previously created report (e.g. TimeCard.rdl, with a single Parm: T9_FK)
Set the Subreport properties => Parameters:
Name: T9_PK
Value: [T9_PK]
NOTE: the Parameter for this sub-report is the one that is coming from the dataset for the Main report
Right click on '(Details)' in the 'Row Groups' Pane (below Design Surface) => New Group => T9_PK
As an additional option set the page breaks:
Right click on '(T9_PK)' in the 'Row Groups' Pane (below Design Surface) => Group Properties {window}
=> Page Breaks {left pane} =>
Page Break Options:
[x] Between each instance of a group
I have a situation where I need to hide columns of the report when viewing but when printing or downloading as a file, those hidden columns need to be displayed. Hiding the columns is not an issue, its just that I cannot figure a way to display the hidden columns when printing/downloading.
I do not want to create 2 separate reports for this.
Thanks
What I do in these situations is to create a parameter for the report that says something to the effect of "Display Hidden Columns?" or "Show Printable View?" and then wire up the Visibility property of the column to that parameter. Yes, they might have to run the report again, but it keeps you from having to do a separate report yourself.
Select the column and On the 'Column Visibility' option, select 'Show or hide based on an expression' and select fx formula-expression button.
The group heading will say "Set expression for: Hidden"; write the expression =Globals!RenderFormat.IsInteractive OR select from UI under "Build-in Fields".
There is no in-built functionality to hide columns only when viewing the report in the browser. Reporting Services renders the report the same way, whether you then save or print the report is of no consequence.
The only way to achieve what you want is to either:
create a new report
(as mentioned by Dave) provide a
parameter that controls hiding the
columns
Regardless when you actually generate the report for print/save it will look identical on screen
