Expression Question for SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 R2

I am trying to form an expression that will give me the est. hours for a specific project type. Project Type is a field in the data set as well as est.hrs. There are no calculations needed. The hours is listed under the field name"Est.Hours".
So I've been trying to us an IIF expression. IIF(Fields!ProjectType.Value=Landscaping, "", Fields!Est.Hours.Value). It is not working. It renders "0" and it should render "10". What am I doing wrong?

Hi Data Specialist,
Per my understanding that you want to use the expression to display the Est.Hours for the ProjectType which value are not "Landscaping" and if the value is "Landscaping" it will display null value, right?
I have tested on my SSRS 2008 R2 environment and find the issue can be caused by the expression you are using, I would like to confirm with you if the expression "IIF(Fields!ProjectType.Value=Landscaping, "", Fields!Est.Hours.Value)"
is what you are currently using.
As Patrick Hurst mentioned that we need do modify the wrap Landscaping in double quotes: "Landscaping" and also the fields name "Est.Hours" also can cause the problem, please try to remove the ".", rename the
field like"EstHours", So finally the expression is as below:
=IIF(Fields!ProjectType.Value="Landscaping", "", Fields!EstHours.Value)
If your problem still exists, please try to provide details information below to help us more effective to provide an solution:
If you got some error message, please provide them to us.
Please try to provide the snapshot of the report structure and the sample data of the table
Any problem, please feel free to ask.

Report Builder 1.0 for SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 R2

We are trying to implement Ad-Hoc Reporting using SSRS 2008 R2.
First of all, it is very unhelpful that all SSRS books are for either 2008 or 2012, even though SSRS has major changes in 2008 R2 compared to 2008.
Our instructional materials indicate that we should build Report Models to abstract out our databases into terms familiar to our business users.
The problem we are having is the difference in functionality between Report Builder 1.0 and Report Builder 3.0. Report Builder 3.0 is touted as having the modern, ribbon based interface that is supposed to make end-users feel more comfortable. However,
all the documentation says that end users are supposed to use Report Builder 1.0 for Ad-Hoc Reporting. And, it seems, that the reports generated by Report Builder 1.0 are not round-trip compatible with all the other reporting tools for SSRS 2008 R2.
The documentation we have illustrates that Report Builder 1.0 is nice for Ad-Hoc reporting, because is based on connecting directly to Report Models, and the end users can directly drag-and-drop entities and fields into their reports.
When we try working with Report Builder 3.0, it seems we must first connect to the Report Model as a Data Source and then build a Dataset query on the Report Model. Only then are some entity attributes available to be dropped into the report.
If the user decides another source column is needed, they have to go back, edit the query, save the query, and then drag the column from the Dataset to the report. This does not seem end user friendly at all!
We are also concerned that if we train our users on the seemingly soon-to-be-obsolete Report Builder 1.0, and get them used to having direct Report Model access, that at some point we will have to move them to the Dataset-interrupted approach of Report Builder
2+. Highlighting this perception of impending obsolescence of Report Builder 1.0 is that in our shop that is starting with SSRS 2008 R2, we cannot figure out how to get a copy of Report Builder 1.0 in the first place.
We just don't see our end users being savvy enough to handle the steps involved with creating Datasets on top of Report Model Data Sources. So we would have to build the Datasets for them. But in that case, what point is there in creating any
Report Models in the first place if DBAs are the ones to make Datasets?
As such, it is hard to envision a forward-looking SSRS implementation that has the end user ease-of-use Ad-Hoc reporting that the SSRS 2008 documentation presents.
What is it that Microsoft actually wants/expects SSRS implementers to do?

Hi Dan,
Report Builder 1.0
Simple template-based reports
Requires report model
Supports only SQL Server, Oracle, and Analysis Services as data sources
Supports RDL 2005
Bundled in SSRS
Report Builder 2.0 or later
Full-featured reports as the BIDS Report Designer
Doesn't require (but supports) report models
Supports any data source
Supports RDL 2008
Available as a separate web download
In your scenario, you want to use Report Builder 1.0 in SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 R2, I am afraid this cannot achieve. Report Builder 1.0 is available in the box in either SQL 2005 or SQL 2008. It is not available as a separate client apps and is
only available as a click once application.
Report Builder 1.0
Report Builder 3.0
Thank you for your understanding.

SQL Server Reporting Service 2008 R2 - The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized.

I got the error "The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized." when I call the Reporting Service Web Service.
The code is very simple:
// Initialise the reporting service Web Service
this.RSWebService = new ReportingService2010();
// Pass windos authentication credentials to Web Service
this.RSWebService.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
// List children
List<CatalogItem> reports = this.RSWebService.ListChildren(folder, false).ToList();
The SQL Server is installed on a different machine (say server A) from the Web server (say server B). We are using Windows Server 2003.
The code work fine for all the scenario below:
i) Run locally (XP) to call the web service on the sql server
ii) Provide the Network Credentials with the username, password, and domain when calling the web service
iii) If the web server and sql server is using same server (i.e. not distributed)
I'm using windows authentication and impersonation. Any idea?

Hi Raymond,
If I understand correctly, the issue only happens in the environment that the web server is different with the SQL Server Reporting Services server. This means the web server is a remote server of the Report Server. Windows Integrated authentication is used
in this case. When running the web page, the 401 error occurs.
If so, it is actually a double hop issue. The double-hop problem will usually only be an issue to those of you who write some sort of web-based code (a web application or web service) that uses impersonation.
To fix the issue, we can configure kerberos authentication for the web application and the SQL Server Reporting Services.
Below is a great article that has delivered many solutions to fix the issue you met:
http://odetocode.com/articles/216.aspx
Additionally, you can read the following article to know more about double-hop:

Thanks Jin. I believe this is the cause of the problem as well.
I tried to register the SPN but unfortunately it still doesn't work. I'm not sure whether I'm using the correct SPN name.
I have 3 reporting server instance on the SQL box. So the Web Service URL is like
http://Server:80/VirtualDirectoryDev,
http://Server:80/VirtualDirectoryTest and
http://Server:80/VirtualDirectoryStaging .
What's the SPN I need to register?
I tried
Setspn -a http/Server:80/VirtualDirectoryDev domain\account
and
Setspn -a http/aerver:80 domain\account.
But both of them are not working :(

Can Centura SQL Base Can be Used as a Source for SQL Server Reporting Services

I have bunch of Centura Report Builder and need to show them inside .NET WPF UI. I was thinking to convert those reports to SSRS and then show. But database here is SQL Base
and want to know whether SSRS supports SQL Base as a source. Also let me know is there a way to show Centura Report Builder inside WPF without converting to SSRS.

Hi JAISH,
In Reporting Services, a set of data processing extensions are automatically installed and registered on both the report authoring client and on the report server to provide access to a variety of data source types. But the SQLBase is not included.
However, custom data processing extensions and standard Microsoft .NET Framework data providers can be installed and registered by system administrators. So we can install and register the data processing extensions and data providers on the report server
to process and view a report; we can install and register them on the report authoring client to preview a report. But data processing extensions and data providers must be natively compiled for the platform where they are installed.
For more information about Implementing a Data Processing Extension, please refer to the following document:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-IN/library/ms154655.aspx
As the issue about how to show Centura Report Builder inside WPF, it related to WPF. It is out of the support boundaries of our forum, I suggestion you post the question in the following forum:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/home?forum=wpf. It is appropriate and more experts will assist you.

SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 R2

Hi All,
We are in the process of upgrading SQL databases to 2014 and want to determine which ssrs reports are there with embedded data sources. Is there a easy way to list all the reports that use embedded data sources so we can change them or convert to shared
data sources. There are 100's of reports and going into each of them to determine does not make sense.
Thanks!

Here you go:
SELECT DS.Name AS DatasourceName,
    C.Name AS DependentItemName,
    C.Path AS DependentItemPath
FROM
    ReportServer.dbo.Catalog
AS C
        INNER
JOIN
    ReportServer.dbo.Users
AS CU
        ON C.CreatedByID
= CU.UserID
        INNER
JOIN
    ReportServer.dbo.Users

Sql server reporting services + export to excel + embedded images

Hi all,
i got a problem when exporting to excel in ssrs 2008.
i use embedded image in the report. but when i export the report to excel, image is being exported but its width is being changed to size 0 .
but when i click on it and expand it explicitly in excel it is being expanded .
how to make the image by default to its actual width?
how to fix this problem ?

Hi sudeep Puvvadi,
Based on the information posted, I have a test with SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 (SSRS2008) and Microsoft
Excel 2010 by the following steps:
From the Toolbox window, drag the image to the top edge of the design surface.
In the image Properties dialog box, select Embedded from the Select The Image Source drop-down list.
Click import, and select a BMP file from my local computer.
Right-click the image, select Image Properties. In Size category, select Original size.
Export the report to excel.
When opening the excel file, the image displays with original size rightly. So I suggest you to add an image with
the same steps above, then checking whether the image shows correctly. If it still cannot work fine for you, could you please give me a feedback and tell me related settings, so that I can reproduce the scenario exactly and provide further assistance?
Thanks,
Lola Wang

Encrypt Excel Export from SQL Server Reporting Services prior to attaching to e-mail

Does SSRS 2012 have a secure e-mail Delivery Extension that would allow the Excel document to be encrypted?
Or is there sample code?
Or is the best approach to consider a Microsoft Partner product such as Database Potential, Inc.'s "Secure Delivery Pack for SQL Server Reporting Services"?
http://www.databasepotential.com/product-p/sdp.htm
Thanks in advance for any thoughts or feedback regarding this topic.
Boyd

Hi Boyd,
Currently, it’s not supported a delivery extension that encrypts documents before sending them in Reporting Services. If you have the SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) environment, you can use the following workaround:
1. Using SSIS Script Task to encrypt the report before exporting it to the Excel file.
2. Add a Send Mail Task to send the Excel files to the recipients.
For the details, please refer to the document below:
http://microsoft-ssis.blogspot.in/2011/10/encrypt-files-in-ssis.html
In addition, we can try to use .NET API approach. In this scenario, we need capture the Excel file using the WQL Query of FileWatcher, and then encrypt the file, finally email the Excel File.
For the details, please refer to the blog as shown below:
http://microsoft-ssis.blogspot.in/2010/12/continuously-watching-files-with-wmi.html
If you need more assistance, please feel free to contact me.

SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) Pricing (2014)

I'd like to know what would cost to use SSRS on Azure. As Windows Azure SQL Reporting will be discontinued on 10/31/2014, I tried to find licensing options for SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) running on Windows Azure Virtual Machines (VM). I guess
I need to purchase a VM on Azure. But what other licenses are needed? Do I need a separate SQL Server licence if I already have Windows Azure SQL Database? Is there also a price for using SSRS on a VM?
Can please provide the alternatives with pricing or a link with this information.
Thank you.

hi Martin,
Base on my understanding, if we use predefined image (included sql server), we don't need use license , see this toturail (http://blog.aditi.com/cloud/hosting-sql-reporting-service-on-azure-virtual-machine/
). Or if we want install sql server on azure VM, we need purchase the license of sql server. If you only use SSRS on VM, I think you could only purchase slq server license. I recommend you refer to this page (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/gg430130.aspx#bkmk_new
) and this Compare licensing fees using the pricing calculator .
If I misunderstood, please let me know.

Creating alias for Web access to SQL Server Reporting Services

Hello colleagues.
I have MS SQL Server 2012 with SQL Server Reporting Services in domain "domain.local". In the local network at the entrance via Web browser to "mdr.domain.local/Reports" get into Reports of SQL Server Reporting Services and it's work fine.
Necessary that the SQL Server Reporting Services could include via Web browser from alias "reports2.domain.local/Reports". To do this:
1) I created a new A record "reports2" in the DNS leading to IP mdr.domain.local
2) in Reporting Services Configuration Manager on a tab "Web Service URL" in "Report Server Web Service URLs" I add new record "http://reports2:80/ReportServer" (host Header Name: reports2)
BUT "reports2.domain.local/Reports" is not work. When entering to "reports2.domain.local/Reports" I see page "An error in the security certificate for this Web Site..." and when I click "Continue to ...", then "Unable
to find a web page."
What and where I must add/change for work of alias "reports2.domain.local/Reports" by analogy with "mdr.domain.local/Reports"?
I hope for your help.
Thanks.

WooW it's work!!! Thank you
JJordheim you are the best!
With my PKI I create new certificate for "reports2.domain.local" and Import it to MDR server (in Personal). I create new network adapter and configure Reporting Services Configuration on "Report manager URL" tab (for SSL):
mdr.domain.local - certificate "mdr.domain.local" - network adapter №1
reports2.domain.local - certificate "reports2.sygroup.local" - network adapter №2
And all work fine.
If I configure all to 1 network adapter it's doesn't work.
Thanks for help!

SQL Server Reporting Services in SQL Server Express 2012

I installed SQL Server Express 2012 but cannot find SQL Server Reporting Services.
Is it possible to use SSRS in SQL Server Express 2012?
If possible, where do I get so that I could install it and make environment?

Hi ,
Did you get a chance to look into the below link

TF400525: Make sure the SQL Server Reporting Services service for this instance is running.

I am trying to install TFS 2012 update 4 on single server installation.
I am getting below error:
TF400525: Make sure the SQL Server Reporting Services service for this instance is running.

Hi CFSA,
Thanks for your post.
If you want install TFS 2012 Server with Reporting Server, you must ensure the provided Reporting Services is running first.
As Daniel said, please check that in SQL Server Configuration Manager to ensure Reporting Services is installed and running.

Trying to make Reporting Services Configuration Manager work. Or, SQL Server Reporting Services.

Under Start > Programs > Microsoft SQL Server 2008, I have the following:
SQL Server Management Studio
Configuration Tools
Integration Services
Import and Export Data
Under Configuration Tools, I have the following:
SQL Server Installation Center
SQL Server Configuration Manager
SQL Server Error and Usage Reporting
Reporting Services Configuration Manager
I tried to enable Reporting Services through 'Reporting Services Configuration Manager' but I don't seem to have much control from this view. I see two boxes, one named Server Name (and it shows my server name) and the other is named Report Servicer Instance (and this is grayed out). If I click on the Find box next to Server Name, I get this message:
Report Server WMI Provider Error: Invalid Namespace
Details
Invalid Namespace
To get the Server Name I right-clicked SQL Server > Properties > General
Any ideas on how to make Reporting Services Configuration Manager work? Or, can you please give me more details on how to access "System control" => "Services"? I'm not seeing it anywhere and I'm not seeing any way to find "Sql Server Reporting Services". Basically, I'm trying to activate my SQL Server Reporting Services.
I am using SQL Server 2008 Express Management Studio. Is SQL Server Reporting Services included in Express Management Studio? I read, online, that it is, but I can't find it anywhere.
Thanks again!

Thanks Jerry Nee!! This may be exactly what I’m looking for! I went to this link:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=B5D1B8C3-FDA5-4508-B0D0-1311D670E336&displaylang=en#filelist
At the top of the page it says, ‘Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008 Express with Advanced Services’, which seems like this is what I’m looking for, so I downloaded the file named ‘SQLEXPRADV_x86_ENU.exe’
Then, I cut that from my desktop and pasted it in my C-drive and I get a message that says, ‘this folder already contains a file named ‘SQLEXPRADV_x86_ENU.exe’, would you like to replace the existing file?’
I’m thinking…what the heck? Do I already have this thing? If so, why can’t I see SQL Server Reporting Services? Maybe I have it now, and I just don’t know how to access the reporting Services features…
Couple quick questions:
What’s the difference b/w these two files:
‘SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe’ and ‘SQLEXPRADV_x86_ENU.exe’?
Also, my current version of SSMS, Help > About shows this:
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
10.0.1600.22 ((SQL_PreRelease).080709-1414 )
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC)

Microsoft Internet Explorer
8.0.6001.18702
Microsoft .NET Framework
2.0.50727.3603
Operating System
5.1.2600
Should Server Reporting Services be included in this version? I think so!!!
Under Start > Programs > Microsoft SQL Server 2008 > Configuration Tools > Reporting Services Configuration Manager, I see this:
Connect to a report server instance:
Server Name:
Report Server Instance:
My server name is ‘'EXCEL-4J2W8KYNP', which I got from Control Panel > System Properties > Computer Name > Full Computer Name;
However, when I put that server name in the box, and hit ‘Find’ I get this message: ‘Report Server WMI Provider error’ Invalid namespace

[Forum FAQ] How do I add an average line to series group on SQL Server Reporting Services column chart?

Introduction
In SQL Server Reporting Service (SSRS), you may need an average value on column chart.
For the above chart, add an average score line to the chart, you can get which student’s score is larger than average score, and which student’s score is less than average score clearly. This document demonstrates how to add an average line to series groups
on SSRS column chart.
Solution
To achieve this requirement, you can add another values to the chart, change the chart type to line chart. Set the value to average value of the series group and set the line to show only once by using expression. Please refer to the link below to see the
detail steps.
Click the chart to display the Chart Data pane.
Add Score field to the Values area.
Right-click the new inserted Score1 and select Change Chart Type. And then change chart type to line chart in the Select Chart Type window.
Change the Category Group name to Subject. Here are the screenshot for you reference.
Right-click the new inserted Score1 and select Series Properties.
Click the expression button on the right of Value field textbox, type the expression below:
=Avg(Fields!Score.Value,"Subject"))
Click Visibility in the left pane, select “Show or hide based on an expression”, and type in the expression below:
=IIF(Fields!Name.Value="Rancy",FALSE,TRUE)
Name in the expression is one of the Students. Then only one line chart is be displayed by using this expression.
Click Legend in the left pane, type Average_Score to the Custom legend text box.

Thanks,
Is this a supported scenario, or does it use unsupported features?
For example, can we call exec [ReportServer].dbo.AddEvent @EventType='TimedSubscription', @EventData='b64ce7ec-d598-45cd-bbc2-ea202e0c129d'
in a supported way?
Thanks! Josh

SQL Server Reporting Services Configuration Error(Subscription)

I have just deployed a new project on the server and i can successfully run report from the BI Site; [Server Name]\Reports and no issue there. But when i try to create Subscription for the same report; I am trying File Share and it throws error as given
below. Do i have to configure anything for subscription in the Reporting Services Configuration Tool???
I also have few questions regarding Configuration;
What account should i use for the Deployed Data Source on the Server? A valid SQL Server Account I assume!!!
What account should i use for the Execution Account (For Unattended Operations) ? A valid Windows Account? or SQL Server account?
What account should i use for the File Share Subscription (Credentials used to access the file share:)? A Valid Windows Account with permission for that folder?
Here is the error I am getting in the log file..

Hi RP,
For your first issue "cannpt create subscriptions", after analyzing the error logs, it seems to be caused to the service account for the Reporting Services service does not have proper permissions to invoke the WIN32 API.
The SQL Server Reporting Services invokes the Win32 API to impersonate user's permissions to write files to shared folder or call COM+ components.
In this case, we can change the service account to a account has permissions to invoke the Win32 API to solve the issue. For example, we can change the account to be NetworkService or LocalSystem:
1. Backup the encryption key using Reporting Serivces Configuration Manager.
2. Change the service account using Reporting Serivces Configuration Manager.
3. Restore the encryptiong key using Reporting Serivces Configuration Manager.
For your others questions, please see the following inline reply:
--What account should i use for the Deployed Data Source on the Server? A valid SQL Server Account I assume!!!
The account should be a Windows account or the SQL Server account, that has read permissions in the source data base at least.
--What account should i use for the Execution Account (For Unattended Operations) ? A valid Windows Account? or SQL Server account?
The account must be a Windows user account. For best results, choose an account that has read permissions and network logon permissions to support connections to other computers. It must have read permissions on any external image or data file that you
want to use in a report. Do not specify a local account unless all report data sources and external images are stored on the report server computer. Use the account only for unattended report processing.
--What account should i use for the File Share Subscription (Credentials used to access the file share:)? A Valid Windows Account with permission for that folder?
You are right. It must be a Windows account, which has permissions to access and write files to the shared folder.
