Formatting multiple fields at once in RDL or RDLC - rdlc

Over the years, I've been working with SSRS reports (RDL and RDLC) but I have not found a solution to this problem: Let's say I have x number of fields in my report. I would like to highlight all the fields at once and modify the background-color, foreground-color, font and font size, for all fields at the same time.
Is this possible? I've searched on the web and I've experimented with the report designer, and I have not found anything that allows me to do this (other than modifying the underlying XML directly, which is not an option).

Select all the controls in the designer and press F4 for properties. Change the background color, font etc.

It is possible to just select all fields and go to properties->format->paste from another fields format. That's it.

Automation Anywhere: In PDF Integration, Extract Form Fields isn't working properly?

I'm using Extract Form Fields to get data from a PDF. But upon selecting the area where the desired text is located, the "Value" text area in the popup should be automatically populated with desired text, but that isn't the case. The "Value" field is staying blank.
Any idea what might be causing this?
you need to check whether your PDF has handwritten content or it is a scanned file.
if your PDF does not satisfy above criteria you can easily automate your PDF using Automation anywhere by selecting the area. if your PDF is invoice or bill or any type of GST forms better to use IQ Bot.

SSRS 2016 - Change CSS of Report Server

I want to change the css file of my reports.
How can I do it with reporting services 2016?
The old methods didn't work for me (add style sheet file or make changes at the HtmlViewer file).
To just hide the headers and the option to navigate back to home change the link address to the report from
http://Reportserver/Reports_Instance/report/Folder/Report
to
http://Reportserver/ReportServer_Instance/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?/Folder/Report
So you only get to see the report
To change the style of your report, it is intuitive. You can select the colors you want to include, chart borders, chart styles, etc directly on the GUI. I highly suggest that you rephrase your question to be more specific. Then, we can help you get the answer you are looking for.

SSRS 2008 -- Data Missing when run in BIDS mode

I am having a really weird issue with a report built in SSRS 2008. When the report is set to export as a PDF, all data fields are showing up properly on each page as intended. However when the report is run in BIDS mode or exported to Word/CSV/Excel formats there are several data fields that show up as a blank.
One weird thing Ive noticed is that if I set the data fields that are missing as First(Fields!datafield.value) instead of Fields!Datafield.value then they will show up.
Has anyone ever seen any instances of this happening or have any ideas how to correct this issue without redoing the report? I can include the .rdl file if that would help.
Thanks!
I've seen something similar when coloring fonts. The pdf export didn't pick up all the formatting. Check to make sure that your visibility and color settings for the fields in question are what you expect. Try setting those all to default to see if that fixes the issue.

Setting all the Chart attributes in a report (rdlc) through code in report viewer

I've created a RDLC file to view report and i've a line chart in it. I want to set the properties of the chart such as category, X axis interval, Y axis interval, colors etc dynamically. How can i set them through code? I'm using C#.Net.
Thank you
NLV
I'm hoping there is a better way, but as you posted this a while ago I'm guessing there is not. The only thing I can think of is that since the .rdlc file is actually just XML, you open it in the C# and change the attributes to what you want depending on the data you have.

Dynamic Data in an RDLC Report Footer across Multiple Pages

I created an RDLC report (based on a stored procedure) that contains lists. I need to display data from one of those lists in the report footer across every page. However this data only shows in a list on the first page, so that is the only page on which it shows in the footer also. I’ve researched this but haven’t found much information. Does anyone have a solution for this?
Something you can try, don't know for sure if it will work. Create a formula that returns the data you want to display, then put the formula field on a text area in the footer.
I ended up placing a textbox in the second page area, setting the text color to white and sending it to the back. If I hid the textbox (or table - I tried that too), the footer object could not reference it. So, setting the text color to white and placing it behind another object worked. It seems like this is a kludgy way to do a simple report operation but is apparently necessary.
