I can use method to create ‘50’ number of column report in Pentaho Reports.
When i drag and drop the columns when i have seen only 5 0r 6 columns..
Can any one tell me how to add more no of columns in Pentaho Reporting?
Make the page wider, or your columns thinner. The page can be virtually any width, so you can go as wide as you want, e.g. if exporting to Excel and so on.
There is certainly no limit I've hit on number of columns anyway. But do consider if this is an end user report it still probably has to be printable in some way!

I have a report that currently has a table with 10 columns. I have visibility rules set on the last 5 columns to hide in some scenarios. When I hide those columns there is a large amount of white space on the right side of the report. I do not want this, i want the table to fill out the page. Ideally SSRS would have the capability to have the page width be dynamic and move with the width of the table, but that does not appear to be the case.
I tried creating two tables, one with 10 columns and one with 5 and set the visibility rules on the table, but that created the same problem, a lot of white space on the right side when the table with 5 columns was selected, because the width of the page was set for the 10 column table.
Does anyone have any suggestions on a workaround or how to fix this issue? I know I could create two reports, but I'm hoping to avoid that option.
Would you please help me (total beginner) to prepare a VBA macro that would open a sheet on the background and import specific selection as shown below:
Let's say we have downloaded wordcount analysis (xlsx) like this downloaded from a CAT tool for testing.
Now I would need to add a macro to my main sheet that would read lines starting (Column A) with "All". If "All" then I'd need to record columns of that line (specficilly Columns A - O) in array / hashtable?.
Please take a look at this image that summs it all (better than explaining it for me :-)
Let me know in case you need to know more details.
All tips / suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Many thanks!
My suggestion (I'm a beginner too) would be to use the Macro Recorder. Great tool to learn (example).
start recording
filter for 'ALL'
copy/past the Cells
stop Recording
Then have a look at the recorded code and adjust it :)
Looking at your data and the final layout you are looking for, using a Pivot Table would provide you with all of the flexibility you need.
You can:
filter which data to display
generate calculated values based on data in other columns
choose what order your columns are displayed
dynamically change the layout if you decide you want a different view
From your data, I was able to generate the following Pivot Table in about 15 minutes.
There are several good, simple tutorials on building Pivot Tables. A Google search will turn up plenty.
Things you will need to learn about for your particular problem:
Classic display (I used the classic display to get this particular layout)
Calculated Fields (many of the columns in the pivot table are calculated based on your spec). There is a maximum string length of 255 characters for a field calculation, so you may need to rename some of the columns in the original data set.
Of course, basics of Pivot Tables
Loading new data and updating your pivot table
Good Luck!
I'm a bit of a noob with crystal reports so be as detailed as possible.
I'm working with two fields in a report, "CRD_NAME", and "CREDIT_CARD_AMOUNT". I can right click the former to browse data and see the credit card types: AMEX, VISA, DISCVR, and MASTER. When I drag this field out to the report, it will only display one value (currently "AMEX").
When I place the Credit_card_amount field under this, it will properly display AMEX totals for that day. Browsing data on this field shows all of the CC totals, and I'm not sure how to associate them with a card type.
What I'm looking to accomplish, is to have CRD_NAME repeated in 4 columns, displaying the different CC types, and the correlating totals under each one. Do I need to create multiple parameters for each field and what I want it to represent?
Any clues would be much appreciated :)
Your best bet might be to create a "Cross Tab" crystal report. When you create a new crystal report, cross tab is one of the options.
I had a problem in creating the Dynamic report in SSRS. My problem is:
In a table I have stored SQL scripts with the column SQLScripts. If you execute these SQL scripts you get different number of columns for each script.
My problem is, I have one report with buttons of these scripts, for example test1, test2...like that. If you press test1 button this should take the test one SQL script and should display the report with appropiate columns in that sqlscripts.
I can't create individual reports for each test report, they are plenty. Are there any options for me to solve this problem...
The only way I've been able to get this to work sofar is:
Each report has 2 datasets.
ReportData
DataHeaders
The "DataHeaders" need to have the proper name of the datafields in "ReportData". Be careful since SSRS replaces blanks and special characters with "_"
Now, create a table (or matrix) and drag the DataHeaders as the Columns of your report. (This should be a grouped column). If you run it at this point, you'll see all your columns without any data. Now comes the magic:
Create another report that takes a "DataField" parameter. Create another table or matrix within this report and set it's dataset property to be "ReportData". In the DATA cell for the table, set it to the expression =Fields(Parameters!DataField.Value).Value
Now go back to your first report. Right click and insert a subreport. Right click on the subreport and select "Subreport Properties". Under general, select the second report you created to be used as the subreport. Under parameters, select the DataField parameter and set its value to something like =Fields!DataField.Value
In my case I did some formatting in this expression to fix the above mentioned issue with spaces and special characters, since my stored procedure was initially used in ASP.NET and this was just a proof of concept.
Also in my experience the performance isn't great. In fact it was kinda slow, though I haven't had a chance to switch it to use a shared dataset, which I suspect would help a bit. Please let me know if you find a better solution.
I have not found a way to do this completely dynamically. Here is a similar question with some possible solutions:
How do i represent an unknown number of columns in SSRS?
You basically need to create a 'master dataset' from the other Datasets that are based on your multitude of SQL scripts first.The master dataset should contain the data to be presented in it's most simplistic form, i.e. in a simple list format.
Finally, go to the toolbar in SSRS and drag a 'Matrix' into the report. A Matrix table acts similar to a pivot table in Excel or a CrossTab query in Access that will display whatever's in the Dataset.
Using Pentaho Report Designer, I can successfully display my OLAP cube's data as a table.
But when I want to display the same data as a chart, it always fail saying "CHART.USER_NO_DATA_AVAILABLE".
Actually, I don't really know what I should enter for category-column and value-columns. I tried:
category-column = [Area].[prefecture]
value-columns = [[Product].[Product.Product].[All Products].[productA]]
And any other variation I could think of, but no success. Any idea? Thanks!
My OLAP cube is a Pentaho Analysis: sales count for each product and prefecture.
Just use:
[Product].[Product.Product].[All Products].[productA]
You only need the extra square brackets around the entire fieldname if it's a formula.
Or pick the field from the dropdown.. then you know you have the right one!
If you're doing a timeseries xy, note you have to repeat the category column value as many times as the value column.
also make sure you have a series name too.
