Display exceptions with Report Designer

Hi,
i want to create a Report with the Report Designer.
My Data Provider is a Query with exceptions.
Now the Report Designer don't show the exceptions.
Is there a possibility to show exceptions with the Report Designer?
Thx for help
Mike

Right, unfortunately the report designer does not support Exceptions.
I ask me, why not?
The representation of very good or negative values with different colours, would be a useful feature. Thus you must mark every single cell hand by hand in corresponding colours and must also know the exactly position of the suitable value.
Is there a workaround?
Does anybody know, if this feature will be a part of Report Designer in future?

Please share experience with Report Designer in BI7

I am looking for people to share their hands on experience with Report Designer in BI 7.0.
I have seen the video, blogs, sap documentation, and the marketing materials. I have also test driven it myself. I have found not found it very useful for complex formatting. While I know there will be lots of opinions, I am looking for real life, hands on experiences you have had with the tool and if some of the complex things you have been able to do with it.
Here are some of challenges we are faced with:
1. Need ability to combine data from multiple queries into a single report. For example, one query has statistics and the other has amounts. We need to be able to create averages combining the data from both queries into a SINGLE result area.
2. We have need to be able to create a report where GL Accounts with activity over threshold amount are shown with a line for each account. Any accounts with amounts less than threshold, should be grouped on a line called 'other'. Again, this needs to be combined into a single result area.
When I say, single result area, I mean to be able to calculate amounts using data from both queries into a single result area. Displaying each query separately side by side is not an issue.

Have been playing around with Report Designer and I found it useful for basic formatting but not for the one's you had mentioned in your post.
SAPs suggests you do all the data manipulation in the Query Designer or Infocube and use Report Designer for just formatting the data. In the past we had issues where we could not certain calculation in query designer and have used Crystal Reports along with BI data for similar kind of things which you had mentioned in your post (using sub reports and report level data manipulation). Report Designer unfortunately does not provide any of these functionalities.
I have seen comments from SAP saying Report Designer will be developed further, not sure of any specific functionality whichis coming in. I think it is SAPs first step in the formatted reporting area and may be in the future we will have a tool which can handle much more complex scenarios!
Thanks.

Invert Axis in a Chart with Report designer

Hi Gurus
Do you know the proccess or option to change (invert) the axis in a chart with Report Designer or in a table with Query Designer?
Regards
Jose

Hi Jose,
I guess this will help you...
Check here.....
Rotating Charts
Use
You can change the angle of the first segment of a pie chart, doughnut, polar chart, radar chart or split pie chart, thus rotating the chart clockwise.
Procedure
1. Select the property ® Starting angle.
2. Enter the number of degrees by which you want to rotate the circle or rings clockwise.
The first category at the top of the diagram begins with zero degrees, and the one at the bottom begins with 180 degrees.

Help needed with Report Design

Hi All,
Here is the requirement.
Period Type(holds 2 values) : Payment and Vested.
we have field 'Total Days' which is calculated based on "User Selected" Period Type.
For example, When Period Type is Payment,
If start date is less than or equal to grant date and end date is less than or equal to vest date, then calculation is (End Date - Grant Date)+1
If start date is greater than grant date and end date is less than or equal to vest date, then calculation is (End Date - Mobility Start Date)+1 (similarly 2 more if conditions) ...we have similar calculation for Period Type - 'Vested'.
This Period Type is a multiselect Prompt. How can this be achievable.
Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Display issue with LiveCycle Designer ES4 for cropped PDF in WIN7

Hi,
I am having issue displaying the cropped PDF file in the LiveCycle Designer ES4. The PDF files are cropped 3 inches from bottom using Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional. It used to display properly when we have a WinXP machine but once we moved to a Win7 machine, it cannot display the top part of the PDF anymore. Can anyone help on how to fix the display issue? Thanks.
Kenny
Environment:
Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES4 V11.0.0.2013.0303.1.892433
Adobe Acrobat 8.0.0
Screenshots
Win 7, LiveCycle Designer does not display properly
Win XP, LiveCycle Designer used to display properly

Thanks vNohria.
I am having same issue with Adobe Acrobat 9. The Acrobat 9 cropped file is displaying properly under WinXP but have the same issue as above in Win7. This issue seems uncommon as I tried to look for similar issue and couldn't find any.
P.S. It's only the Design View in Win7 that has the issue, I can still see the file fine with Preview PDF in both enviornment.

Report Designer doesn't render images

Hi,
I'm just starting to explore SSRS on SQLServer 2014. So I build a Report with a Background Image (this is an external Picture which resides in the Project Folder) and an Image Object (this is an external Picture which resides somewhere on one of our Network
Servers). When I deploy the Reporting Project to the reporting Server, all the Images are correctly displayed.
When I Display the same Report in VS using the Preview window there is either no Picture visible or instead of the Picture there is only a red x displayed.
I'm using Microsoft SQL Server Standard (64-bit) Version 12.0.2000.8 as DB Server on which SSRS is running and Visual Studio 2013 Update 4 with the Report Designer.
I would have liked to Show the Pictures of the Output but this Forum Software didn't upload my Pictures :-(

Hi achim.w,
According to your description, you add an embed image and an external image in your report. The image can display correctly on report manager, but it can’t display well in report designer.
In your scenario, since that image is from other network server, please check if you can access the image which stores on the Network Server on the develop environment side. If not, please grant permission to access that image. If you can access the image
and it still can’t be displayed in Visual Studio, please add custom code to read the image from HttpResponse, then render it into an image in your report. Please refer to the following article:
[Forum FAQ] How to display an image from Http response in Reporting Services?
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Custom rendering extensions not working in SSRS Report Designer (rsreportdesigner.config)

My custom rendering extension is working in Report Builder (in RSReportServer.config), but not in Report Designer (in RSReportDesigner.config): instead of adding a "TXT" export option, it's just adding a duplicate "CSV" option.
SUMMARY:
Is there a way to get these features working, with Report Designer?
DETAILS:
We are running SSRS (Reporting Services) under SQL Server 2008 R2.
Here's my rendering section:
 <Render>
 <Extension Name="XML" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.DataRenderer.XmlDataReport,Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataRendering" />
 <Extension Name="CSV" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.DataRenderer.CsvReport,Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataRendering" />
 
 <Extension Name="TXT" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.DataRenderer.CsvReport,Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataRendering">
 <OverrideNames>
 <Name Language="en-US">TXT(ASCII,NoColHds)</Name>
 </OverrideNames>
 <Configuration>
 <DeviceInfo>
 <FileExtension>txt</FileExtension>
 <FieldDelimiter>,</FieldDelimiter>
 <Encoding>ASCII</Encoding>
 <NoHeader>true</NoHeader>
 </DeviceInfo>
 </Configuration>
 </Extension>
 <Extension Name="IMAGE" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.ImageRenderer.ImageRenderer,Microsoft.ReportingServices.ImageRendering" />
 <Extension Name="PDF" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.ImageRenderer.PDFRenderer,Microsoft.ReportingServices.ImageRendering" />
 <Extension Name="HTML4.0" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.HtmlRenderer.Html40RenderingExtension,Microsoft.ReportingServices.HtmlRendering" Visible="false" />
 <Extension Name="MHTML" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.HtmlRenderer.MHtmlRenderingExtension,Microsoft.ReportingServices.HtmlRendering" />
 <Extension Name="RPL" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.RPLRendering.RPLRenderer,Microsoft.ReportingServices.RPLRendering" Visible="false" />
 <Extension Name="EXCEL" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.ExcelRenderer.ExcelRenderer,Microsoft.ReportingServices.ExcelRendering" />
 <Extension Name="WORD" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.WordRenderer.WordDocumentRenderer,Microsoft.ReportingServices.WordRendering" />
 </Render>
When I add the above "TXT" section to RSReportServer.config, then Report Builder (and production) both show an export option "TXT(ASCII,NoColHds)".
But when I add this "TXT" section to RSReportDesigner.config, and then (in Report Designer / BIDS) attempt to export from a "Preview" of the report, the export drop-down does not show a "CSV" option followed by a "TXT"
option, but instead shows the "CSV" option twice.
This simply limits testing of the export option, to Report Builder... or requires any reports be published from Report Designer before they can be tested with
this export option.
(FYI, why this export option: compliance in our industry requires sending data to government agencies, in text files, with fixed-length columns, and ASCII encoding. Also, we're attempting to give the production of these files to the *users* managing
communication with those agencies... so we're putting them into SSRS.
I worked around the fixed length columns (and no delimiters -- no commas), by writing a version of the report where all string columns are padded, and all columns are concatenated, to form ONE LONG COLUMN... but Reporting Services' CSV export format produces
a Unicode file (UTF-8, which the agency rejected, because it had a leading "ï»¿", or "EF BB BF" in hex), whereas the agency requires an ASCII file.)

Hi Doug_atMidway,
According to your description, you want to enable your custom render extension. Right?
In Reporting Services, if you want to deploy the custom extension, you just need to add the extension into rsreportserver.config file. The
RSReportDesigner.config file stores settings about the rendering extensions available to Report Designer. Since you still use the csv rendering extension in your assembly, we don't need to do any modification in rsreportdesigner.config file. Pleaes
refer to the links below:
Thanks for attempting to help, Simon.
As my question states, I've *already done* both the above: changed (1) rsreportserver.config and (2) rsreportdesigner.config. I added the same code, shown above, to both files. I did that so I could see the new "txt" extension
both (1) when exporting in production and Report Builder, and (2) when exporting in Report Designer's "preview".
The change in (2) is not working: I do not see the "TXT" extension in Report Designer, when I try to export from a preview. Instead, Report Designer shows the CSV extension repeated.
Thanks for the docs. I consulted them (well, I consulted the EQUIVALENT pages, for SQL Server 2008 R2), when creating my block of code above.
Do you see anything to correct, in my code?
Are the features I'm using actually working, with rsreportdesigner.config?
Thanks again,
-- Doug
