Hide a TextBox for CSV extract in SSRS 2008

Hi,
I have a requirement to hide a textbox in the csv extract of SSRS report built on 2008. I understand it is easily achievable in 2008 R2 with the help of globals!, but I have to unfortunately achieve it in SSRS 2008.
Any expert advice.

Hi MTiwari,
As far as I know, it have no approach to work around the issue.
In SSRS version before 2008R2, if we want to hide text box when we export to CSV, we have to hide this item in report design. In this situation, this item also would be hide in other render format.
If possible, I recommend you update your SSRS 2008 to SSRS 2008r2.

LookUpSet is Not working for multiple columns in SSRS 2008 R2

Hi Friends,
I have a problem when i use more than one LookUpSet in SSRS to display more than one value based on Day Number & other fields..Please find the below details and please suggest me a solution for this.
Crystal :
  Day1 Day2
Period 4 Arts,Maths Arts,Maths
For this in SSRS i am using LookUpSet as below based on StaffID,PeriodNumber & DayNumber like this:
= (IIF(Fields!DayNumber.Value=1,Join(LookupSet(Fields!StaffID.Value & Fields!PeriodNumber.Value & Fields!DayNumber.Value
, Fields!StaffID.Value & Fields!PeriodNumber.Value & Fields!DayNumber.Value
, Fields!ClassCode.Value
, "TIMSTF5"), "," ),""))
which is displaying correct in SSRS,But when i use the same expression to display Day 2 classes it is returning empty even though i have values on Day 2.Please have a look at the SSRS output below:
  Day1 Day2
Period 4   Arts,Maths
Day 2 Expression is :
= (IIF(Fields!DayNumber.Value=2,Join(LookupSet(Fields!StaffID.Value & Fields!PeriodNumber.Value & Fields!DayNumber.Value
, Fields!StaffID.Value & Fields!PeriodNumber.Value & Fields!DayNumber.Value
, Fields!ClassCode.Value
, "TIMSTF5"), "," ),""))
I am not sure why it is not liking to use more than LookUpSet in the same report,Please suggest me with a work around for this.
Thanks in advance,
Sam.

Hi Guys,
I have sorted out the problem.Solution for the above problem is use Max before the expression like below, since it has multiple days and periods in the Dataset.
= Max((IIF(Fields!DayNumber.Value=2,Join(LookupSet(Fields!StaffID.Value & Fields!PeriodNumber.Value & ields!DayNumber.Value
, Fields!StaffID.Value & Fields!PeriodNumber.Value & Fields!DayNumber.Value
, Fields!ClassCode.Value
, "TIMSTF5"), "," + vbcrlf),"")))
Thanks,
Sam

Hardware requirements for SSIS, SSAS and SSRS 2008 R2

hi evebody,
i have to deploy a Microsoft BI 2008 R2 in a autonome server, and i wonder if i have to create an instance for every services(SSIS, SSAS, SSRS, sharepoint) or i create only one instance and i deploy it.
also i wonder how do I go about determing hardware requirements for SSIS, SSAS, SSRS, sharepoint????

Hi Malihh,
In your scenario, you said that you need to deploya BI project to server, which kindsof project do you need to deploy? If it's anAnalysis Services project, then you need to install a SSAS instance and then deploy it to SSAS server. Ifit's a Reporting Services
project, then you need to install a RS instance, and then deploy it to RS server. For the hardare requirements, please refer to the link below.

Exporting CRM 2011 SSRS 2008 report to excel uses old Excel 1997-2003 version

The Notes field is appearing cut off on the exported excel spreadsheet. I am wondering if it is related to the version of excel when exporting from CRM report. The only option is MS Excel 1997-2003, when in fact we have MS Office 2010 installed. How can
I get the report export to excel to use the 2010 version? Will this clear up the issue of the excel cell from being too small to dispay the entire field? Any help would be appreciated, Thank you, Mark A M

Hi Mark A M,
In SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services, the Excel rendering extension renders a report that is compatible with Microsoft Excel 1997-2003. This is the unique renderer for Excel renderer in SSRS 2008. Since SSRS 2012, the default Excel renderer is the version
compatible with Microsoft Excel 2007-2010. So we cannot export the report to excel use Microsoft Excel 2007-2010 version in SSRS 2008. This is by design.
As to your issue, please note that the width of the column in Excel which inherit the width in the report. So we need make sure the cell width is sufficient to display the Notes field in report.

Hope this helps.

Ssrs 2008 'select all' option to be selected for a parameter

In a new ssrs 2008 report, the problem is all reports are not selected from the parameter called 'report' when the report runs automatically. When the report executes, there is nothing displayed in the parameter selection dropdown box. The user
has to click the down arrow to select which reports they want to execute.
Here is the siutation for the ssrs 2008 report:
In a new SSRS 2008 report, I want to be able to allow the user to select which report they would like to see generated by selecting the report name from a dropdown list. This is a multi-valued parameter and the parameter name is called 'report'. I
would like the default value to be for all 5 reports to be selected.
All 5 reports will be on the 'main' report. There will be no subreports. Each report will have its own unique matrix and the matrix will be visibile based upon what is selected in the parameter called 'report'.
My question is how can I make the 'default' value for the parameter called 'report' have all the reports selected?
Normally to get all multivalued parameter values selected you create a dataset and run a query against a table. However in this case, there is no table to query. The user just selects what report(s) they want executed.
Here is the code that is used:
1.Right-click the multiple parameter ‘repot’ to open the Properties dialog box.
2.Specify the values below in the Available values:
Label: report1
Value: report1
Label: report2
Value: report2
Label: report3
Value: report3
Label: report4
Value: report4
Label: report5
Value: report5
3.Specify the values below as the Default Values:
report1   report2   report3   report4   report5
4.Right-click the ‘report1’ to open the Tablix Properties dialog box.
5.Select Visibility in the left pane, type the expression below in the “Show or hide based on an expression” textbox:
=iif(InStr(join(Parameters!report.Value,","),"report1")>0,false,true)
6.Use the expressions below to control the visibility of the ‘report2’, ‘report3’, ‘report4’, ’report5’:
=iif(InStr(join(Parameters!report.Value,","),"report2")>0,false,true)
=iif(InStr(join(Parameters!report.Value,","),"report3")>0,false,true)
=iif(InStr(join(Parameters!report.Value,","),"report4")>0,false,true)
=iif(InStr(join(Parameters!report.Value,","),"report5")>0,false,true)
Thus can you tell me how all values from the 'report' parameter can be selected automatically when the ssrs report is executed?

Pass default value as below and see
=Split("Report1,Report2,Report3,Report4,Report5",",")

SSRS 2008 R2 - Missing Data when Exporting to Excel or CSV (Row Count is 500)

Hey Folks,
When exporting SSRS 2008 R2 report to an csv or excel file not all the rows are being exported. Any suggestions on why this is occurring. The number of rows is less then 500 and it seems to be a pretty straight forward export. Any help is
greatly appreciated. Inherited this and not sure if this would be configuration issues or something else. It is happening on a number of reports.
Thanks.

Hi Humbly,
According to your description, when you export report into CSV or Excel format, some rows are missing.
In your scenario, since you are missing data “rows” in your exported file, we are guessing if you have any visibility setting like toggle which hide those records. It’s possible that you have set toggle or visibility in your report. After exporting
Excel/CSV, some data might not appear properly. In SSRS 2008 R2, it has reported this kind of issue about data missing after exporting. However, those scenarios are not exactly same as your issue. It mostly turns out be conflict between data and “layout render”
and related to DataElementOutput property. DataElementOutput property controls export behavior, it indicates which report item data should appear in Excel/CSV render. For more information, please refer to this article: Reporting Services:
Why aren’t all my report columns exporting to CSV and/or XML?.
As we tested in our environment(SSRS 2008 R2), no matter what we export into CSV or Excel, we get same results as in BIDS . So I would like to know your report design structure. If possible, please provide some screenshots about results in BIDS and Excel/CSV
render extension results. It may help us find out the root cause of your issue. Thank you.
Best regards,
Qiuyun Yu

Ssrs 2008 r2 csv export

In an existing ssrs 2008 r2 report, I have a question about the csv export.
When the report was originally written, I only expected the users to export the data to excel.
Basically the issue is, based on the states where the customers exist. If the customers exists on the east coast, I version of the report is displayed. If the users exist in the Midwest, another version of the report is displayed. if the users exist on the
west coast a third version of the report is displayed.
However now if the users want to export the data to csv (comma delimited), all 3 versions are appearing in the csv file.
I do know that when I hide a tablix, that does not export the data to a csv file. However when I pick the option to show or hide a tablix based upon the expression, the tablix is exported to a csv file.
Is there a way to export the columns and data that actually apply to the particular customer. I do not want all the data columns for east coast, Midwest, and west coast to appear on the csv export?
If there is a way to not display the extra data columns and rows, can you tell me how to accomplish this goal? Showing me code and/or a url would also be helpful.

Hi Wendy,
When exporting a report to CSV format in Reporting Services, the visibility of a report item/object is only controlled by the Property DataElementOutput. If the DataElementOutput property of a report item is set to Auto or Output, it will be exported to
the CSV file, otherwise, the report item won’t be exported to CSV. Currently, the DataElementOutput property is hard-coded which doesn’t allow us to set the property based on an expression. In this way, it is impossible for different users to have different
exported CSV files in your scenario.

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 export to excel and csv file

In a ssrs 2008 report, the user will export data to PDF, excel, and CSV files. When the report is exported to excel or csv file, the user wants me to hide some tablixes. Thus can you show me code on how to export the reports to csv or excel file without
and be able to hide a few tablixes?

Hi jazz_dog,
According to your description, you want to set the visibility for some tablixes based on the exporting file type. Right?
In Reporting Services 2008, we don't have any parameter to get type of exporting file. So we can only create a parameter and select a type before exporting to a file. Then use conditional expression to control the visibility. It's definitely not a good workaround,
so your goal can't be achieved in Reporting Services 2008. However, for Reporting Service 2008R2 or later version, we have a build-in parameter called Render Format Name, this parameter will display the type of exporting file automatically. So we can make
the judgment in expression based on the value of this parameter.

Ssrs 2008 r2 export to csv file problem

In an SSRS 2008 R2 report, the users are going to export the data to: csv (comma delimited) and excel.
I am using the following to display if a column is visible or not:
=IIF(Mid(Globals!RenderFormat.Name,1,5)="EXCEL" AND First(Len(Fields!CustomerNumber.Value)) > 0,False,true).
I have set the DataElementOutput=Output for the textbox that displays the value. I have left DataElementOutput=Auto for the textbox that contains the column header.
When exporting to csv (comma delimited) or excel, I basically want the column to be visible when there is data in the field and the column not to be visible when there is no data.
The code works for excel but the code does not work for comma delimited.
Thus can you tell me what I can do so the column is not disaplyed when the data is exported to csv (comma delimited)?

I don't think what you are trying to do is supported in .CSV files as it only saves text and values. See the following article:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/excel-formatting-and-features-that-are-not-transferred-to-other-file-formats-HP010014105.aspx
If you open a .CSV file using excel you can use formulas, but if you try and save it, it will not allow you to. I assume this is what you are trying to do.

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 textbox expression

In an SSRS 2008 R2 existing report, I wouuld like a particular textbox to look like the following when there is data:
Checking: $57.35
In the same textbox when there is no amount, the textbox would look like the following:
Checking: $0.00
The following iif statement gets the dollar amount want to display:
=IIF(Fields!PaymentType.Value="Checking", sum(cdec(Fields!TransactionAmount.Value)),0)
However I would like to know how to write an iif statement that would include the wording
"Checking: " with the dollar amont that needs to be displayed.
I have tried concatentations that I can think of, but when the report runs, I get the #error in the location
I would like to see the wording "Checking:' with the dollar amount.
Thus can you show me an expression that would solve my problem?

Hi,
I think you have a field "Fields!TransactionAmount.Value" which have amount and you want to display it with word "checking" so for this you need to use IIF function as:
=IIF(Fields!PaymentType.Value="Checking", "Checking: "+str(sum(cdec(Fields!TransactionAmount.Value))),
"Others: "+str(sum(cdec(Fields!TransactionAmount.Value))))
I hope this will work.
Thanks

FILE model support for CSV and fixed-length format!!

Hi all,
As I'm working on a data conversation project, we are in the middel to design whether the extraction for the data source should be in CSV or fixed-length. Here is the pros and cons:
CSV:
1. There are a lot of remarks field in the data which are all free text. It's really hard to define the record delimiter.
2. Extracted file size for CSV is relatively small compare with fixed-length.
fixed-length:
Even for fixed length, we can either
1. Extract the file without an separator/delimiter (1 row) with fixed column length
2. Extract the file with fixed column length per record and define the record delimiter to separarter the record.
I'd try all the above formats and it seems ODI is more prefer on CSV or combined mode (fixed column length) as:
1. The LKM (file to external table) need to be customzised to handle the file format which without any separator/delimiter
2. It is very hard to reverse the column definition for fixed-length (no delimiter)
Any suggestion?

You can transform your files to an xml format using respective tags:
eg:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<MONEY>
<MoneyID>MoneyID0</MoneyID>
<ContractID>ContractID0</ContractID>
<EffectiveDate>2006-05-04T18:13:51.0Z</EffectiveDate>
<MessageDate>2006-05-04T18:13:51.0Z</MessageDate>
<ReversalIndicator>false</ReversalIndicator>
<PriorMoneyID>PriorMoney, something "ID0" for life;</PriorMoneyID>
<Amount>0</Amount>
<MoneyType>0</MoneyType>
<ExchangeDetails>
<CostBasis>0</CostBasis>
<ExchangeType>0</ExchangeType>
<MEC>false</MEC>
<LoanAmount>0</LoanAmount>
</ExchangeDetails>
</MONEY>
So, as you see, you can embed any symbol in a tag.
After creating this xml file, you can use XML technology in Topology Manager to map to this file and then create a data store based on this technology.
And you will be able to retrieve the data in this file under respective column headers without worrying about delimiters existing in the actual data.

Bussiness Scenario for GENERIC EXTRACTION

Hi friends,
 can any one explain me... in what situation we go for Generic Extractions..
The normal reason is When the Bussiness Content Datasource is not matching with our requirement.. we go for Generic extraction..
 I told like this only... but they are not satisfied with my answer.. and they asked .. tell me the bussiness scenario( in what situation u done generic extraction)
so, friends... could any one plz explain me any scenario... which you done for generic extraction...
 i will appriciate by giving points to the appropriate answers..
Thanks

1)Go to RSA6 and find the data source you need to enhance.--> Display
2)Double click on the Extract structure.
3)Now click on the append structure button to add the required field on to the existing structure.
4) add your required fields with ZZ appended to your field.
5) Save & Activate the append structure. Then go back and make sure you activate the extract structure also.
6) Now again go back to RSA6 and select your Data Source. But this time go to change Data Source to remove the hide option to the enhanced fields. By default theyll be in hide mode. If you dont remove the hide field then this field will not be seen in BW side.
7) Now go to SE38 to write the logic to populate the data into the enhanced field. Program name to write the logic is ZXRSAU01.
8) Check + Save + Activate.
9) Check in RSA3 if data is populated as per your requirement.
10) Replicate your Data Source.
11) Now go to Data Source/ Trans. Structure screen. Now you can see the enhanced field on the right hand side.Enhancements:
