Using Report Builder to make Letters

I am trying to use report builder to create templates for
letters and other multi-page documents, the query automatically
inserts data from a database (the price of something for example).
Whenever I try to fit the document in report builder it says
something like "Report compilation error. Report design not valid :
1. The title section, the page and column headers and footers and
the margins do not fit the page height. " Is there any way to get
this text to automaticaly go to the next page instead of just
giving me an error? A better way to do this would also be great (I
have templates in .rtf format with bookmarks where query objects
go)

Hi Rajan,
Reporting Services provides two report authoring tools: Report Builder and Report Designer in BIDS/SSDT. Whether you can design an Ad-hoc report based on Web Service data source depends on the version of the Report Builder. In Report Builder 1.0, we can
only use report model to design a report. In Report Builder 2.0 or higher, we can use the built-in XML data source type that can retrieve data from Web service to design a report.
The Report Builder 1.0 is available in SSRS 2005. For SSRS 2008, we can upgrade the Report Builder to Report Builder 2.0 by installing the SQL Server 2008 PCU1. For SSRS 2008 R2 or SSRS 2012, the Report Builder 3.0 is included natively.
References:
Creating Report Datasets from XML Data (Report Builder 2.0)
Reporting Services: Using XML and Web Service Data Sources
Note: The second link is for Report Designer in SSRS 2005 and also applies to Report Builder 2.0 or higher.

How to find the maximum of group sums within a specific column using report builder 3.0

Hi
For each part number I am trying to find out in which week of a month did the largest daily shipment occur... so using report builder 3.0
in SSRS 2012 I can find daily, weekly and monthly totals for the units shipped but I am having a hard time thinking through the logic to find the daily max for each week.
in my data I can have multiple orders/shipments for the same product on the same day.
The ultimate goal is to set inventory levels
So..
In my matrix report I have
Row groups:
Classid => Product class
InvtID => Item Part Number
Column Groups:
FiscYr=> Fiscal Year
PerPost => Month or period the transaction occurred
Week_period => the week the transaction occurred
Day_period => The day that the transaction occurred
The aggregations are
Sum(case_shipped)
Max(case_shipped)
The Sum(case_shipped) is working as desired but the Max(case_shipped) is picking out the max amount shipped on any one order when looking
at the week, month or fiscal period and that is not what I need.
I have attached a screenshot since a picture is worth more than my words. I have also included some sample data
I would very much appreciate any thoughts on this. I am guessing that the solution has something to do with using the inscope function but
I can't wrap my head around how to use it
Thank you
Tom D
Here is some sample data for Product A

On 1/1/2104 I shipped a total of 13 cases
On 1/2/2104 I shipped a total of 50 cases
On 1/3/2104 I shipped a total of 30 cases
On 1/9/2014 I shipped a total of 30 cases
On 1/10/2014 I shipped a total of 80 cases
On 1/9 I shipped a total of 25 cases
I would like to show that in week 1 the maximum number of cases shipped on any day is 50 (1/2/2014)
I would like to show that in week 2 the maximum number of cases shipped on any day is 80 (1/10/2104)
I would also like to show that in perpost (month) 1 the maximum
number of cases shipped on any day is 80 (1/10/2104)

Hi
I was able to find a solution
I built a new dataset in report builder using the same table as before but tried out the "Group and Aggregate" function and for the case_ship
field I chose "Sum" as my aggregate.... In essence this gave me a very cool and easy daliy sum of the shipped cases.
When I used this new dataset and built my matrix report I was able to easily get the max daily shipment for each product by week, month and
year.

Is it possible to create an interactive graph/chart using Report Builder 3.0?

Hi All,
I am using Report Builder for the first time. Here is what I am trying to accomplish. The data I plan to use in Report Builder is coming from SQL Server and in the Report Builder I want to create an interactive graph(chart).
For example, The table in SQL Server consists of Hospital Name, Measure name, and Scores for each measures for different quarters.
The idea is to create a graph that will allow the user to pick the measure name(from a drop down list or something similar) and Hospital name, then the graph will display the measure scores for different quarters and corresponding target scores for that
particular Hospital.
The data in SQL server looks like this :
measure
MC_NM
q112
q212
q312

Is this is possible to do in Report Builder 3.0? Please share your thoughts.

Thanks a lot for your response.
I was able to create the parameters and now able to select the measure and facility and display that data in the table and chart.
Now I am trying to see if I can add a line(target values) on top of the column chart to show the whether the scores of each measures, for each quarters are how far from the target values.
Please let me know if this is possible.

Comma separated output using report builder

Hi Experts,
I am working with EBS 11.5.10, database 9i, and report builder 6i. I have a XML Publisher report, with output type EXCEL, which is working fine. But if i get huge data like 1million, 2million, it's not able accommodate the output in EXCEL. Since it's EXCEL 2003, it can't handle data more than it's capacity(i think 60,000 rows).
So we thought, if we can generate the output in CSV file with comma separte, then we can open the file in EXCEL 2007. Could somebody help me how to generate the CSV output using report builder 6i.
or is there any work around to our problem, kindly help me, it's urgent.

Hi,
Not sure if report builder can be made to generate csv output.
But you can create a PLSQL Report. Just use the query of Report Builder and write a Plsql procedure based on this query

How to use Report Builder with permission extension

Is there any method to let web site which use SSRS and Report Builder use different permission extension module?
In our web site project we use ReportingService2010 Methods to show and operate folder and report which stored in Report Service, in our project configuration file, we use windows authentication mode for Report Service.
In requirement 1.User can do any operation in folder “A” and folder “B” (we can create and delete report or folder) in web site. 2.User can’t use “Report Builder” to save reports which created by Report Builder to folder “B”, Reports which created by Report
Builder only can be saved in folder “A”. [User click “Report Builder” button in our web page to start Report Builder, use “Report Builder” to create report, if user want to save report, we need to hidden folder “B” in “Report Builder” or we need to remove
some operate right from folder “B”.]
We have two solution:
1. We want to write extension module to process this issue, we want to re-write CheckAccess method which will be called by web site backend and Report Builder, but how can we know who called CheckAccess method[Web site backend called CheckAccess method
or Report Builder?]
2. We want to let Web site back-end use permission extension module named WebSitePer.dll, and Report Builder use PBPer.dll, how to modify the configuration file?

Hi Fang,
As far as I know, SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS), have no permission extension. In Reporting Services, it is use role-based security to grant user access to a report server. There are two types of roles: Item-level roles and System-level roles.
Based on my test, if we assign user with System User System-level role, the user will have permission to user Report Builder to create report. However, if we only assigned Browser or Report Builder Item-level role to the user, he/she will have no permission
to publish the report to the report server. In this situation, although user have permission user Report Builder to edit the report, it will have no effect of the report in report server. User who has assigned Browser or Report Builder Item-level role will
have no permission to delete report in the report server.
There is an article about Setting Permissions in Reporting Services, you can refer to it.

Hi sukai,
The issue is due to one or more of the files listed in the application manifest cannot be found on the server. We can upload all the deployment’s dependents files, and try again. And frequently this means that the application is somehow corrupted, or that

Returning all the days in selected Month in a Year using Report Builder

I am working Report Builder with SharePoint List Data Source. Report builder has to parameters Month and Year. If i select month as March and year as 2014 the report have to display
March 1 2014 Saturday
March 2 2014 Sunday
March 3 2014 Monday
March 31 2014 Monday
Can any one help on this, do i have to write this in Dataset Property query, Report Builder Properties or calling any function.....!
Appreciate if any example query. Thank you

Hi SPBee,
If the all fields are already returned by dataset with SharePoint List Data Source, we can directly add filters in your dataset to achieve your requirement.
Expression: [Month]
Operator: In
Value: [@Month]
Expression: [Year]
Operator: In
Value: [@Year]
If you want to create a report that display the data as you post, we can create a function in SQL Server Management Studio as below:
IF EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINES WHERE ROUTINE_NAME ='CalendarTable1' AND ROUTINE_SCHEMA = 'dbo' AND ROUTINE_TYPE='FUNCTION')
DROP FUNCTION dbo.CalendarTable1
GO
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.CalendarTable1
@StartDate datetime,
@EndDate datetime,
@WeekDaysOnly bit = 0,
@MonthStart bit=0
RETURNS @CALENDAR TABLE
Date datetime,
[Monthname] varchar(20),
[Dayname] varchar(20),
[Day] int
AS
BEGIN
;With Calendar_CTE (Date,[Monthname],[Dayname],[Day])
AS
SELECT @StartDate,datename(Month,@StartDate), DATENAME(dw,@StartDate), DATEPART(day,@StartDate)
UNION ALL
SELECT DATEADD(dd,1,Date),datename(month,DATEADD(dd,1,Date)), DATENAME(dw,DATEADD(dd,1,Date)) ,
DATEPART(day,DATEADD(dd,1,Date))
FROM Calendar_CTE
WHERE DATEADD(dd,1,Date) < = @EndDate
INSERT INTO @CALENDAR
SELECT Date,[monthname],[Dayname],[Day]
FROM Calendar_CTE
RETURN
END
Create two parameters start and end with Date/Time type in the report, then use the query like below in the dataset:
SELECT * from dbo.CalendarTable1 (@start,@end,0,0)
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.

Concatenate results SQL query and CASE use Report Builder Reporting Services

I need to concatenate the results from a SQL query that is using CASE. The query is listed below. I do not need permitsubtype but I need to concatenate the results from the permittype.
I tried deleting the permitsubtype query and it would not run correctly. Please see the query and diagram below. Any help is appreciated.
select PERMIT_NO
,(case when
  ISNULL(PERMITTYPE,'') = ''
  then 'Unassigned'
  else (select LTRIM(RTRIM(PERMITTYPE)))

,BLDG_SF
from Permit_Main
where ISSUED between @FromDate and @ToDate

Hi KittyCat101,
As per my understanding, you used case when statement in the query, you do not need to display permitsubtype in the report, but when you tried to delete permitsubtype from the query, it could not run correctly. In order to improve the efficiency of troubleshooting,
I need to ask several questions:
“I tried deleting the permitsubtype query and it would not run correctly.” As we can see, it has no effect to delete permitsubtype from the query you provided, could you please provide complete sql query for the report?
Could you please provide detailed information about the report? I would be appreciated it if you could provide sample data and screenshot of the report.
Please provide some more detailed information of your requirements.
This may be a lot of information to ask for at one time. However, by collecting this information now, it will help us move more quickly toward a solution.
Thanks,
