Hi Guys

I've created two simple reports (Main.rdlc and Sub.rdlc) in the same windows application

When I drag a Subreport control onto Main.rdlc and go to Subreport properties, I would expect 

Sub.rdlc to show up in the drop down list under "Use this report as a subreport:"

However, nothing appears. So I have typed the name in manually.

When I run the report, I get the message: The subreport 'Subreport1" could not be found at the specified location

Sub.rdlc. Please verify that the subreport has been published and the name is correct."

I must be missing something.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi,

I have found it out somewhere like this :-

You can repeat page headings on every page if your page breaks are due to breaks between groups (hard pagination). You cannot repeat page headings between pages if the pagination is due to a small interactive page size (soft pagination).

So, my question is is this true? I have a report which has like 230 locations and as all the locations cannot fit on a single page when we export into excel and print it out i dont see the headers repeating.

Is it really because of this? Is there any way to get around?

I am using VS 2008 R2 (.NET Framework 3.5 SP1) and am having the following problem: When I preview a drilldown report in VS, I can see and use the "Back to Parent" button without issue. However, when I deploy the report to the Report Server, the button does not appear. I have reviewed all of the available links, but cannot find a satisfactory answer. Is this a setting on Report Server? Or somewhere else?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi,

For some reason every so often our SQL Report Subscriptions stop working. We are using SQL 2012, and use reporting on our TFS environment.

I use the query from here which is great: http://blogs.xtivia.com/home/-/blogs/18514

It shows me all of the subscriptions, but they all show 'Null' for 'NextRunTime', obviously meaning they wont run. Does anyone know why this happens or how I can start them all again?

Kind Regards,

Jon

Hi,

I am working on a SSRS report in software SSDT 2010. It has a multivalue parameter which has thousands of values. When user selects a value, that same value has to be reflected in report's header and footer. I have incorporated that by taking a text-box for all parameters and showing up the selected value.

But same cannot be done for multi-value parameter as showing thousands of selected values will distort the whole report. Therefore, I am just thinking of showing maximum of 5 values to user. If a user selects below that number, those much values will be shown but if user selects more than 5, only 5 values will be shown.

Can anyone help me out with this. How I need to go about this, what expression needs to be written in which part of the report.

Thanks in Advance !!

SSRS  has the automatic "Other" capability which works great.

Drilldowns work great on my pie slices for all Non-Other slices. I don't see how to drilldown on the "Other" slice.

Is there anyway to drill down on the Other Slice ?

Many thanks!

We have several SSRS reports that stopped working recently under the MySubscriptions link in SSRS report manager.  All these reports can be run by clicking the report link and setting the parameters.  However if you edit the report and change a parameter to run it (at a later time) the report throws the following error:

++++++++++++++++++++++++

SQL Server Reporting Services

Error

Maximum request length exceeded

++++++++++++++++++++++++

Some MSDN articles suggested updating the web.config file and adding maxRequestLength variable.  We updated the web.config file (setting maxRequestLength to a larger number - 50 mb) and restarted IIS server.  Is there a more suitable value for this variable?

Updating the web.cinfig file and adding maxRequestLength, did not resolve the issue.

Any help is determining the cause and fixing this issue is greatly appreciated.

Hi All,

Has anyone ever tried to change the parameter section at the top of any SSRS report in order to make it more visually appealing and user friendly?

I basically want to take each parameter, that I set to be visible, and I want to change its layout and look and feel. It certainly beats having to code aspx page controls to pass the parameters into the report but each time someone wants to refine their search they have to step back to the aspx page, which means more overhead and page post backs.

I want the user to be able to change their options whilst in the report but until I can get it to look a little bit neater, I have to hide all of them and force the user back and forward again and again.

I've highlighting the section I'm referring to in the image attached

Thanks in advance!!

I know this question has been asked before for versions of SSRS prior to 2012. I am asking it again in case there has been a change. I notice that in the Advanced Shared Data Source Properties in SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) there is a connection option to enable Multiple Active Result Sets (MARS). Is there a way to make use of this within a report? I have a stored procedure that returns three result sets, which are all returned after a considerable amount of processing which I would not want to repeat for each of the three result sets. Is there a way to do this? I want one stored procedure but be able to use the three result sets returned by the stored procedure in three separate data regions. I have tried hand coding the RDL to include multiple field sets within the same dataset, but SSRS does not like it.

Please do not reply with the answer that I should re-write my stored procedure as three separate queries in three separate datasets because I already know I can do that. It is not what I want to do.

Hello,

Updated one of my client environments to SQL Server 2012 SP1 CU4 to user PowerView over Dimensional Cubes ... but after creating the connection on the SharePoint 2013 frontend trying to create a sample PowerView report will return my the following error (full error log at the end of this post)

"Errors in the metadata manager. The current model can only be expressed when the client is requesting tabular view metadata with VERSION restriction of 2.0 or later. "

Google don't know nothing about this (bad mojo) and after rechecking all the configuration and comparing them with other environments where we are have the SP1 CU4 working we trace the problema to the this ... SSRS on SharePoint is sending <VERSION>1.1</VERSION> to the SSAS Dimensional instance when it should be send <VERSION>2.0</VERSION>, why ? i don't know ...

And i run over of ideas, so thanks in advance for you help!

wasn't sure of a good title for this.

I need to build a 'multi layer' report in that you start with search fields for people, then return a list of people meeting the search criteira, this alone I know how to do, but i want drill down further...

once a list of people are displayed, I want to be able to click on a person and then display a list of things tied to the person selected (will not need to select more than one person).

now with the list of things for the selected person, i want to be able to select one or more thing and then create a report, one page for each thing selected and/or just display all the things selected.

is this a big challenge in SSRS?

more generally, do some of you out there run into the decision of "is it worth trying to figure this out in SSRS or should I just build a seperate web app?"

I have a report that includes City as a search parameter. The City parameter is deployed with =" " as the default value. When I deploy it to the server and then run it, it mysteriously inserts the name of the city associated with the user login (also a parameter passed to the report) in the City parameter field and uses it as the default.  I have searched every setting, but can find nothing that would cause this behavior. Any ideas?

Hi all,

I have a report I'd like to open in 'dormant' mode initially. ie the user has to click 'view report' to generate the content.

The only way i've been able to achieve this is to add a parameter and set it to not allow nulls and set the initial value to be null.

I can live with this for now because the report has a datatime paramenter so the above hack is transparent I'd like to have the default value set to Today(). But this causes the report to fire and generate automatically when it is opened.

This is in 2005

How do I get just the "reportname"?  the executionlog2 view shows the entire path to the report, but I just want the the string after the very last "/".
