How to use Microsoft Excel dll in SQL Server Reporting Services

Hi,
Can you please explain me the steps to use excel .dll in ssrs

Hi PrakashThandra,
Based on my understanding, you have created a chart in Excel, then you want to use this chart in Reporting Services, right?
In Reporting Services, it’s not supported to use a chart which created in Excel directly. But we can use Excel as datasource to create a report, please refer to this article:
Create SSRS report using Excel Data Source Step by Step. In your scenario, since you want to use the Excel chart in Reporting Services, you could create a same report in Reporting Services refer to this article:
Charts (Report Builder and SSRS)
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

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

How to show or publish the TFS - SQL Server Reporting Services reports in SharePoint dashboard?

Hello,
We have configured SharePoint site and SSRS for a team project.
Foll. is the SharePoint site for the team project. When we click on the REPORTS link, it redirects us to the SQL Server Reporting Services website.
My question is: How can I show or publish the reports from SQL Server Reporting Services into SharePoint so that I can view the reports on SharePoint dashboard rather than having to go to the SSRS URL?

Hi Nachiket,
If you configure Reporting service for your TFS, then you can view the reports in report manger site when you click click report on Team Explorer. And SharePoint is a collaboration website product that offers deep integration with Office products like Word,
Outlook, and Excel. You can save your team project related files in your SharePoint site. Check this
page for more details.
If you want to view reports that generated by reporting service on your SharePoint site, you might need to save the report in Excel and upload it to SharePoint site.
Best regards,

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.

How to print pdf file in SQL Server Reporting services report using command prompt?

Is there a way to automatically print a SQL Server Reporting services report on command prompt? For eg: We can save a pdf file using rs.exe utility. I want to print a pdf using rs.exe utility. Is it possible? I don't want to install any 3rd party software.

Thanks Simon for replying to my question.
In oracle form, there is oracle command to print the report from command prompt with the help of rwrun.exe
e.g: rwrun.exe REPORT="D:\Test\REP_25\MLA.REP" DESNAME="testprinter" DESTYPE="PRINTER" P_FORMNAME="MLA.FMX" P_SPRACHE="E" P_SPRACHE_NR2="1" P_WHERE_BEDINGUNG="order by land_nr" USERID="test/test.world" PSV_NAME="PSV_DEMO" PSV_JOB_ID="PS$9583" RECURSIVE_LOAD="NO"
BATCH="YES" NONBLOCKSQL="NO" ARRAYSIZE="1" PARAMFORM="NO" ERRFILE="c:\temp\psv16.tmp"<
and to save the report we just need to change DESNAME="c:\temp\OC_100001349.pdf" DESTYPE="FILE" in above command instead of DESNAME="testprinter" DESTYPE="PRINTER".
DESNAME and DESTYPE are the input parameters of the respective report.
In SSRS, we can run the file from the command prompt and save it.
rs -i "C:\Users\pujarswa\Documents\reports\new\LoadReport.rss" -s ww2004760:80/ReportServer_MSSQL -v fileName="C:\Users\pujarswa\Desktop\TipsReportLoad.pdf"
-v reportPath="/TipsReport/LoadListTabular" -t -v format="PDF" -v LandNr=4 -u ap\swati -p test@# -e Exec2005
But we cannot use same command for printing as you said we need to create another script for printing files.
I have gone through the links but I dont want to use Adobe Acrobat Reader exe for printing because client it may not have Adobe Acrobat Reader on their machine.
Also I want to pass a input parameter as type="Printer" to my report which will print directly for me and same I can acheive in command prompt passing type="Printer" fileName="C:\Users\pujarswa\Desktop\TipsReportLoad.pdf"

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

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

Hi John,
When we use SharePoint list as datasource in SSRS it has two method to add parameter. Suppose we have a dataset (DataSet1) get data from SharePoint list. Please refer to the methods below.
Method 1: We can add parameter in the Query Designer dialog box to add parameter.
Click “Add Filter” icon in the “Applied filters” dialog box in Query Designer.
Select the corresponding field (Title), fill with specific conditions, and select Parameter option in the end of the row.
Create a dataset (DataSet2) fill with Title field.
Double click the parameter we create above, set the available values from DataSet2 field Title.
(Note: In the situation, we are get the single-value parameter.)
Method 2: It is a general method to add parameter in SSRS report.
Create another dataset (DataSet2) in the report fill with Title field.
Add a parameter (Title) get available values from DataSet2 Title field.
Add filter in the DataSet1.
(Note: This method, we can configure multi-values parameter.)

How to change Rendering Extension in sql server Reporting Services based on User Permissions

Hi,
I want to provide SQL server reporting services rendering extension based on user Access.
For Example
User1 can have options of Rendering to EXCEL and PDF
User2 can have a option of CSV
i read one article which is useful for report basis rendering extension changes. but i want to give user basis rendering options.
http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/3569/how-to-change-rendering-extensions-in-sql-server-reporting-services/?utm_source=dailynewsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_content=headline&utm_campaign=20150406
Thanks in advance.
GVRSPK VENI

You can use a data driven subscription for that
Maintain a table with rendering extension information for various users ie their AD user login. Then setup a data driven subscription based on table values
You will be creating a dataset with query for retrieving userid as well as rendering extensions and then just set the value as Get value from database for render Format and To properties
For more details refer

"The evaluation period of this instance of Microsoft sql server reporting services has expired: but how can we know which server ssrs has been expired..
please help me on this ...
Regards,

Hi Jithendar,
For your issue, you can retrieve the SQL Server Evaluation Period Expiry Date to varify which server SSRS has been expired:
SELECT
create_date AS 'SQL Server Install Date',
DATEADD(DD, 180, create_date) AS 'SQL Server Expiry Date'
FROM sys.server_principals
WHERE name = 'NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM'

How to align the text in justify format with SQL Server Reporting Services?

How to align the text in justify format In SQL server Reporting Services? Is there any code to do so?

Hi,
I'm afraid that if you want to have this kind of functionality, you will need to write a custom control. Here is an example: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345265.aspx. The issue with custom controls is that it needs to be known by all the reportservers that will render your report.
