Is there a way to dynamically add a placeholder in a textbox in SSRS?
What I'm trying to do is to have a placeholders as much as the data i have in a certain field. for example, I have a total of 20 data in this certain field, then I also want to have 20 placeholders to hold each of the data.
Currently, I am working on a Tag cloud. what I'm doing right now is, I am concatenating every data and put it in a single textbox (a single placeholder as well), what I want to do is to have a different place placeholders for each of the data so I can have a drill through action in each of the data.

This may be as simple as it can't be done, but I have to ask. :) I am building a report using Report Builder 3.0. The report contains a table which also has Grouping established. I wanted to give the user an easy way to expand/collapse all rows of the table, so I used the method of creating a parameter with two values (0 for collapse, 1 for expand), tied the visibility of the group to the parameter using an expression in the Hidden Property for the group. Then I created two text boxes for Expand and Collapse and added the respective parameter/value in the Action in the text box properties.
At this point, everything works as intended. Here is where I run into the issue. I added another parameter, lets just call it "Location". The parameter is a text data type that allows multiple values and gets it available values from dataset/query in the same report. This is where I am guessing what I want may not be possible. When I select my Location(s), then run the report it all looks good. However, when I click on one of the Expand/Collapse text boxes, it clears out the values that I selected for the location(s). I am guessing this is due to the fact that the available values for the Location parameter is set via a query at run time. Is there any way to maintain the values for the Location parameter when triggering the expand/collapse buttons?
Thanks in advance!
I am not a programmer, but have been tasked with doing this anyway! We are working on a research project that involves testing properties of different samples. I am trying to create a form that will generate a custom report based on what the user chooses. So, I have multiple text boxes and check boxes to allow the user to define the query parameters (e.g. composition of the sample must contain at least 5% component A) and choose what data they are interested in seeing in said report (e.g. show pH, color, but not melting point). I have successfully created code to generate the query, then generate a report based on that query, but the report defaults to column widths that are generally too big (for example, the pH column width is 3 inches, it only needs to be about 1). I would like to be able to fix this, but have not been able to figure out how. At the same time, some of these fields contain numbers that are averages of multiple test results, so I would like to limit the number of digits shown, and display them as % where appropriate. I started with just fixing the column width issue:
I have tried to make a collection of the fields that are included, then loop through the collection and set column widths, but cannot figure out how to identify a field with a variable:
If I know the field name I can do this:
Reports("ReportName")!FieldID.Width = 200
But if I have a collection of names, FieldNames, or a string VariableName, none of these work, giving me an error that FieldNames or VariableName is not a valid field in the report:
Reports("ReportName")!FieldNames(1).Width = 200
Reports("ReportName")![FieldNames(1)].Width = 200
Reports("ReportName")![VariableName].Width = 200
Is there a way to reference a field name with a variable?
Alternatively, I thought there might be a way to loop through all fields and set widths - this would involve looking up a column width for each field, which I thought to do by adding a key to a collection of column widths. But I cannot find a way to do that, something like:
For each Field in Reports("Report")
Field.Width = ColumnWidthCollection(Field)
Next
This hangs up on the Field.Width line, with "invalid procedure call or argument", which brings me back to how to reference a field name with a variable.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Try with:
Reports("ReportName")(VariableName).Width = 200
I am having a situation where I can't proceed further with my report.
I have 2 parameters and the first parameter is a search text and user allowed to enter multiple search values and then the second parameter will get loaded and in the dataset to get loaded.
ReportParameter1 - user should give text need to be search. It should allow multiple values.
ReportParameter2 - (Multi Selection dropdown) - If we pass single value in ReportParameter1 it is showing related dropdown list in ReportParameter2. If multiple values are given in ReportParameter1 it should load all the values in ReportParameter2 related to the search words but it is not returning any dropdownlist.
Any help will be highly appreciated and I hope the explanation make sense?
Thanks,
For passing one parameter:
passing multiple values:
You'll need to use the IN operator for multiple parameter values.
SELECT party.party_name
FROM apps.hz_parties party
WHERE UPPER(party.party_name) IN(:ReportParameter1)
The other option would be to filter the tablix.
Note: Report processing time will be longer for a tablix filter.
I am still fairly new to SSRS, and I do not know what I need to/can provide as examples to help clarify my issue.
I am developing an SSRS report that accesses a NAV database and generates a report for an equipment number. My task is to generate a master report that can print multiple of those kind of reports(currently 10 max). I am using sub-reports to get the content that I need for an equipment number.
I am looking for a way to make this dynamic, where I can generate 1 to n sub-reports based on how many values were picked for the multi-value parameter. The end result should be one PDF file that contains the full report for each equipment number listed. I am trying to only use SSRS.
I have seen where I could hide sub-reports then make them visible if a condition is met, but this isn't the functionality that I am looking to use. So, what would be the best way to dynamically generate sub-reports based on a multi-value parameter?
I figured it out. I made the sub-report parameter equal no value. I made the main report with a parameter that can select multiple equipment numbers, a list, and a data set which filtered down to the appropriate equipment numbers to avoid duplication. I made the sub-report object in the main take in the cell value from the list equipment number. When the list proceeded to the next row, it copied all of the objects in the box area.
How do I dynamically display the 'Edit' on the hyperlink field based on the values on the rows, generated from the database.
N/B.: the gridview automatically generates rows.
Do you mean you want a DataGridViewLinkColumn in the grid with Edit displayed if appropriate? Like this:
In which case, make the whole column a LinkColumn and whether or not it's clickable will be taken care of internally by the grid. Columns which don't display Edit will not be clickable.
If you don't mean this then please provide more detail.
