Ssrs 2008 r2 black line incorrectly being displayed

In an existing SSRS 2008 r2 report, I just added a page header so that I can display global values in the page header like run date, run time, and page number. Within the report header, I placed all the report header data within a rectangle. Now when I run
the report, there is a black line appearing after the report header but before the details of the report.
I have changed all the border colors to be white and the borderstyle to none. The black solid line between last part of report header to before the detail data keeps appearing.
Thus can you tell me how to keep this black line from end of pageheader or rectangle to before the detail data from appearing?

Hi wendy,
According to your description, I taken a simple test in my local environment (SSRS 2008R2). In my scenario, I insert a page header in the report, then use a rectangle to contain all the items (such as global values) within the page header after creating
a table in the report body. While everything goes well, and there is no such a black line between page header and report body.
As per my understanding, may be you have set the BorderColor property to Black and BorderStyle to Solid of Page header or Rectangle or Report Body. So we can double check those item properties in the report.
If this issue still exists, could you please post the .rdl file and your dataset with sample datato us by the following E-mail address? It is benefit for us to do further analysis.

SSRS 2008 - hide chart lines based on parameter selected

How to control visibility of chart lines based on Params selected by user?
By default, my report display last 3 years worth of data (including current) with Month on the x axis and Counts on the y axis. I have two Boolean parameters:
TwoYrs? T/F
ThreeYrs? T/F
if False is selected for TwoYr and ThreeYr parameters then I want to hide chart lines corresponding to last year and the year before.
What I've tried: Created 3 Series groups with filters. eg. YearSeries1 to return only current year data and applying an expression to display it if params TwoYrs and ThreeYrs = False. and so on for YearSeries2 to return current + last
years data if param TwoYrs is True and ThreeYrs = False. But I don't see where to add expression to control the display of the individual series groups. I am open to any way of doing this, but this seemed most logical.

Hi Ok-Hee,
In your Source Query just need to filter the series data based on the Parameters.
I have written sample query below:-
select * from
select 1 monthnumber , 'Jan' MonthName, 2013 year,100 amount
union
select 1 monthnumber , 'Jan' MonthName, 2014 year ,200 amount
union
select 1 monthnumber , 'Jan' MonthName, 2015 year , 300 amount
union
select 2 monthnumber , 'Feb' MonthName, 2013 year, 300 amount
union
select 2 monthnumber , 'Feb' MonthName, 2014 year, 350 amount
union
select 2 monthnumber , 'Feb' MonthName, 2015 year,200 amount
union
select 3 monthnumber , 'Mar' MonthName, 2013 year, 380 amount
union
select 3 monthnumber , 'Mar' MonthName, 2014 year, 100 amount
union
select 3 monthnumber , 'Mar' MonthName, 2015 year, 500 amount
)t
where year in (
select distinct FilterYear from
select case when @TwoYrs=1 then year(getdate())-1 else year(getdate()) end FilterYear
union
select case when @TwoYrs=1 and @ThreeYrs =1 then year(getdate())-2 else year(getdate()) end FilterYear
union
select year(getdate()) FilterYear
) t
I have created one post in my blog , you can check the result.

Ssrs 2008 r2 straight line within a matrix

In an SSRS 2008 R2 new report have placed a matrix on the end of the report for information the user wants to see at the end of the report. The user wants to place a straight line between the different infomation sections in the tablix. Here are the problems
I am having:
1. In a row I would like to merge 2 cells together so that a line placed within the matrix is the same length. The problem is that I do not know how to merge the cells.
2. When I drag a line into a cell in the matrix, the line is not straight. The line points to an angle. I have tried to change the properties of the line on the endpoint values but that has not worked. Thus can you tell me how to make the line placed within
a matrix cell to be straight?

Take a look at this post for inserting a horizontal (or vertical) line into a tablix cell:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/397d6dc4-766a-43c9-9706-5370a2bfaeb4/insert-line-into-table?forum=sqlreportingservices
For merging cells, you simply select a set of contiguous cells, right-click, merge cells. There is a catch of course. The catch is that all of the cells you are trying to merge must be in the same scope. Below are some screenshots showing a simple Matrix
with 1 column group and 1 row group.
As you can see in this screenshot, I have selected 2 adjacent cells that are both in the same scope, and merge cells is available.
In this screenshot, I have selected 2 adjacent cells that are not in the same scope. The left cell is only scoped by the row group while the cell on the right is scoped by both the row and the column group. As a result, I cannot merge the cells.

Black line on Retina display

Dear support community,
today I realized a fine black line on the left side (Portrait, home button down) of the retina display of my new iPad. I´ve never seen it before. Is it normal/standard? Or how can I get rid of it?

Ssrs 2008 want parameter default values to display

In an ssrs 2008 report, I want to add a parameter called Processed and have default values set so the
user does not have to select the parameters. The problem is the default parameters are not preselected
when the report is executed.
The following is the query for the dataset that is used for the parameter called Processed. This
is used under available values.
select DISTINCT IsNull(Processed,'') as Processed,
CASE IsNull(Processed,'')
WHEN 0 then 'Non Processed'
WHEN 1 then 'Processed'
END AS label
FROM [Items]
where Processed in (0,1)
order by label
The default values are set to 0 and 1.
The column called Processed as defined as 'bit'.
Thus can you tell me what you think could be wrong? Do I need to specify the bit values as
something else? If so, how should I refer to the values for bit?

Hi wendy,
According to your description, this issue can be caused by the values returned by the query. We can try to execute the query in Query Designer to check which values will be returned. Maybe it only returns one value (0 or 1). Then the available values for
the Processed parameter have only one value. So the default values will not be preselected when the report is initially run.
Besides, we can also try to use the same query as the default values for the parameter to check the issue again.
Hope this helps.

SSRS 2008 Matrix - Column Data Incorrect

I am trying to convert an old local Crystal Report. Basically, for a given order, there are multiple line items. The report needs to show Order and Vendor in the left two columns, then a variable number of columns (that fit on a page) to display the line numbers.
To do this, I added a Matrix, and adding the groupings and all that. However, I get only one line item for each Order/Vendor combination, even though each combination has at least two line items.
Current:
============================================
+ Order + Vendor + Item 1 + Item 2 ...
============================================
+ OrdValue1 + VendValue1 + Value + [blank]
============================================
+ OrdValue2 + VendValue2 + [blank]+ Value
============================================
Desired:
============================================
+ Order + Vendor + Item 1 + Item 2 ...
============================================
+ OrdValue1 + VendValue1 + Value + Value
============================================
+ OrdValue2 + VendValue2 + Value + Value
============================================

Hi dgjohnson,
In Reporting Services, the issue always occurred when there is no value when Order= OrdValue1, Vendor=VendValue1, Item=Item2 and Order= OrdValue2, Vendor=VendValue2, Item=Item1. In this scenario, the cell that corresponding to the value would be blank. In
order to troubleshoot this issue more efficiently, could you please provide us more information about the report? If possible, provide us some screenshots about your report design and your dataset with sample data. So that we can make further analysis and
help you out.
Thanks,
Katherine Xiong

Green noise is being displayed where black should be being displayed

OK, I am really worried that my Macbook Pro is screwed up bad. I've been playing World of Warcraft fine for weeks. Been watching my temps, been a little high but not anything dangerous. However I've recently been noticing that when I play WoW for over 2 hrs or so and exit, my screen glitches and what can best be described as green static is displayed where black should be. Now I've tried reseting the NVRAM and leaving it alone for a few hrs and it went away. Now it popped up again, did the same thing that fixed it before, but now it won't go away. Did my Mac overheat and now the graphics are messed up?

Are you still under warranty? If so, it would be prudent to report this to Apple and possibly get a case number. It sounds like there could be a hardware problem with the graphics chip, even if nothing showed up on the AHT. Did you run the AHT at a time that you were getting the green noise?
Have you tried an external display? If you get the some problem on it, that would indicate a graphics chip problem. If you don't, there could be some sort of problem with your built in display.
Good luck!

Ssrs 2008 r2 parameter values

In a new ssrs 2008 r2 report, I need to display 2 of the parameter values in the heading of the report. One of the parameter values in the name and customer number. The second heading value is the city and state where the particular customer is located at.
The customer table has the following values:
a. cust_id int primary-id,
b. customer_name varchar(50),
c. cust_address1 varchar (50),
d. cust_address2 varchar (50),
e. cust_city_state varchar(40),
f. cust_zip_providence varchar(30),
g. cust_country varchar(30).
Thus I need to place the paramter values of customer_name and cust_city_state that are obtained from a dropdown list in the heading.
when I try =first(customer_name) in the heading, the value is only good for the first customer name. After that, the wrong parameter value is displayed.
Thus can you tell me and/or show me code of what I can do to place the parameter values
of customer_name and cust_city_state in the heading of the report?

Follow below steps,
1. Create 3 Data set.
DS1 = select * from customertable
DS2 = select distinct customer_name from customertable
DS3 = select distinct cust_id from customertable
2. Add two parameter, customer name and customer number
--------parameter 1
- supply Name property for 1st parameter
- datatype for the parameter is string
- Available value property, Select dataset DS2, Select Field Value as "Customer_Name"
--------parameter 2
- supply Name property for 2st parameter
- datatype for the parameter is string
- Available value property, Select dataset DS3, Select Field Value as "Cust_id"
3. Add a blank tablix/table.
-- Select TableRow2 and right click to add new group i.e insert group.
-- Group properties window will be openned,
-- Select Group On Expression 1st.
-- Select the parameter(Parameter1/customer name) by double clicking in the expression window
-- Select Group On another Expression 2nd.
-- Select the parameter(Parameter2/Cust Id) by double clicking in the expression window
-- Now in the general tab you need to checked "Repeat Group Header"
-- press ok to close the group properties window.
4. Now from DS1 drag the field City and State in TableRow3 columns.
5. Drag the Customer Name and Customer Id/Number in TableRow1.
6. In case if First(Fields!CustomerName) appears then remove First function as simply "Fields!CustomerName". Similarly for Customer Number.
7. Finally we need to set the filter condition of the table property. Open the table property by right clicking. On the "Filter" tab choose the expression as "Fields" items and double click "CustomerName" to add in the expression. Similarly add second
field "CustomerNumber" in the expression. Check the operator "=" and choose the value as "Parameter" items respectively.

Black Line Printed Down Side of Paper...

I've been noticing for a while that my Epson 3880 "keeps printing" after the image has been printed. And I just figured out why. I loaded some paper that is a little wider than 11x14 (12x14) but I print on it as if it's 11x14. I printed an image (only 8x10 on the page) and now that a wider paper is in the tray I see that a black line is being printed down the side of the page. It's a line that is actually being printed down the entire sheet. When the paper isn't wider than what I've specified the print head just goes past the paper and "thinks" it's printing on the paper.
I've looked through all the print settings and can't find anything that would cause this (i.e. it's not a crop mark or a guide). Why is this happening?
The printer is an Epson 3880 with current drivers and I'm using the current version of Photoshop CS5.

Anything? It's only happening in Photoshop, other apps print fine.

Ssrs 2008 r2 display only final total amount

In an existing ssrs 2008 r2 report, I want the final grand total to appear as the last amount displayed in the SSRS report.
In the 'main' matrix of the report, I have created an outside group row below the last line of the matrix.
The expresion for this statement looks the the following:
="Grand Total: $"+str(sum(cdec(Fields!TransactionAmount.Value),"datasetname")).
The total amount is correct, but this total amount line appears after every control break. Basically the amount appears every
time the control break changes by date, teacher, or student number.
The extra row I added does contain grouping references to date, teacher, and student number. Thus to solve my problem:
1. Can you tell me how to remove the grouping references to date, teacher, and student number so that the last row will be the only place the total amount will be displayed?
2. If the above is not an option, can you tell me how to add an extra row to the 'main' matrix so the report groupings do not appear on the final total line?
3. If the above 2 choices are not an option, would you tell me how to add the final total line in the final report footer and/or any place you believe the final total amount will appear only one time?

Hi Wendy,
According to your description, you want to add a row into your matrix to get the total value of TransactionAmount. This can be final total value which appears only one time in your matrix. Right?
In this scenario, the reason why the total amount line appears after each break change (data, teacher..) because this total amount line is still within the parent group. I guess you didn't add the outside group row on the top parent group. So we just need
to right click on the textbox which is top parent group, insert a row outside of group. Then put your expression into the added row. Now the total amount will appear only one time in the matrix. It looks like below:

SSRS 2008 Line Chart Issue.

We are facing an issue with SSRS 2008 charts. We have a report which shows dynamic number of series on a line chart. The data values may not exist for all series for
the same x axis points. We expected SSRS to connect the missing points as average and have set the empty point option to average.
The issue is that the
1)
lines for interpolated points only appear when we set the color of empty point to say red and not when it is set to automatic. We need the interpolated line in the same auto
colour as the original line as we will have markers for the data points from the DB and no markers for empty points.
2)
The interpolated lines extend backwards in the series also – we expect it to only fill the gaps and not extend backward or forward.
Are these issues known and is there a work around for these issues ? We got your name from one of the SSRS community discussions. Could you please connect us with
the right person if you are not the right contact for this issue ?
I also got following reply from one of the MS guy, it says
Hi Akshay,
The lines should not go backward. I have seen this happen before and I’ll have to double-check on what that occurs. If you
are using a Category Axis, make sure you set the sorting to use a Cdate() expression. I think that might be it ,but I’ll have to double check.
As far as using the auto-coloring on the series when you have empty points like this, I don’t think that’s possible. It would require
a DCR. You may need to implement something along the lines described in this article http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa964128(SQL.90).aspx.
When I tried the suggestions I over come the auto colouring issue and also used CDATE () but lines still extend bacawords. Can anyone suggest what to do it this situation

Hi AKshay_Jadhav,
Firstly, I am not sure who is that MS guy you mentioned without the detail name. Based on my understanding to your issue, I think you could utilize the function
IsNothing in reoprting services to have a check whether the value is null, if it is Null, you should give a average value to this point, if not leave it to be the original value. Of course, you could achieve this in T-SQL. To
the color and marker, we could type in the expression in both feature to control their display effort.
Hope this helps.

Ssrs 2008 r2 tablix is displaying when visibility is set to hide

In an SSRS 2008 r2 report, I have an existing report that if the grade level is from 01 to 03, one tablix is displayed. If the grade level > 03, the other tablix is displayed.
Now in the tablix for grade levels 01 through 03, I have placed several rectangles onto the tablix for better control of some new textboxes. I have set the property of some of the new textboxes so can not grow and can not shrink. I have not yet placed rectangles
onto the tablix for grade levels > 03.
Currently when I run the report for grade level 04, the tablix for grade levels 01 to 03 does not display. However there is a blank space on the SSRS report where grade levels 01 to 03 would display.
The tablix for grade level 04 does display.
Thus can you tell me what what to check on so the blank space for where tablix for grades 01 to 03 does not display when I want to generate the report for grade 04?

Hi wendy,
Based on my research, if we directly hide a tablix, it would only hide the data but the tablix frame is remained. If we hide the tablix with expression, it would be hidden completely. This is by design. In your scenario, it seems that the tablix hide with
expression. So I guess maybe you are using a rectangle contain the tablix, and there are other items in the rectangle. Or there are some space between the tablix and the later items, so there are some blank space on the report when run the report for grade
level 04.
If there are any misunderstanding, please elaborate the issue for further investigation.

Ssrs 2008 r2 display of url value

In an existing SSRS 2008 R2 application, the users will be clicking on url links to access help documents that are in a PDF
format. When the user hovers over the tab in the browser, the actual web url is listed. My company thinks this can be a secruity
problem.
Thus my question in an SSRS 2008 R2 report, is there a way to hide the real link of where the PDF document is located at? Basically is there a way to hide the real url and/or just display a url that does not really exist? If so, can you show me code on how
to accomplish this goal?

Hi Wendy,
Based on my test, if we are use below expression, it will not list the URL.
="javascript:void(window.open('http://test1.op.org/ReportServer/Pages/Resource.aspx?%2fboards%2fImages%2fHS.pdf'))"
I found a work around for your previous case, please refer to the expression below:
="javascript:void(window.open('” & Globals!ReportServerUrl & “/Pages/Resource.aspx?%2fboards%2fImages%2fHS.pdf'))"
If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know.
