SQL Server Report Builder Numeric Field Formatting

I am creating Reports in SQL Server Report builder.
When I set format of any number fields, in design it is displaying sample value.
For e.g. If I set format 0.00 to one numeric field, it started to display 12345.00
I have 10-12 fields in design, it caused very much confusion.
Is there any solution to change this?
When I open report in Visual Studio, it doesn't display like that.
Check Following screenshots:
In Report Builder:
In Visual Studio:

Hi Harsh10,
If I understand correctly, there are two placeholders in each textbox in the report. You want the second placeholder which contains numeric field to format as 0.00. If in this scenario, we can refer to the following steps:
Right-click the second placeholder which contains numeric field in each textbox to open the Placeholder Properties dialog box.
Click Number in the left pane.
Select Number with Decimal places ‘2’ in the Category drop-down list.

If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.

Adding parameter to a MySQL query in MS SQL Server Report Builder

So I have a MySQL DB connected to MS SQL Server Report Builder via ODBC connector. Everything is fine, I can execute queries and put the fields into report.
But I can't add an parameter to the query.
Example query:
SELECT column1, column2 FROM table WHERE column3 = (@parameter1)
The result set is just empty. I think the problem is that I'm using MySQL and not MS SQL. Any suggestion?

Hello Alan,
Named parameters like @param works with SQL Server / .NET data provider, but not for OleDB, here you have to use the question mark instead
SELECT column1, column2
FROM table
WHERE column3 = ? and column9 = ?
When you assign the report parameter to query parameter you have to take care about the order of used ? in query

Migrate VS SSDT Reporting Project to SQL Server Report Builder?

In the past, I have developed SSRS reports using Visual Studio (BIDS/SSDT). Unfortunately, a company server migration has made it impossible for me to deploy my reporting projects using that devlopment environment, so it appears I have to resort to Report
Builder now.
I see that the SQL Server Reporting Services web app has an "Upload File" menu item. However, it's not clear to me how these would then be translated into a Report Builder project. I've heard that the SSRS project-building
capabilities of Visual Studio go considerably beynd those of the Report Builder in SQL Server.
What I'd like to know is: Can I develop a Reporting Services project in Visual Studio and then migrate it to Report Builder via upload? If so, what are the steps to accomplish this, and what, if any, are the drawbacks?
- Mark Z.

Hi Mark Zudeck,
As per my understanding, you developed SSRS reports with report designer, now you could not deploy the reports to report manager, and you want to open the projects with report builder. If that is the case, please refer to the following steps:
On the Start menu, click All Programs, and then click Microsoft SQL Server Report Builder.
To create a new report, click the SQL Server icon in the upper left-hand corner of Report Builder, and then click New.
To open an existing report stored on your local machine or a report server, click the SQL Server icon in the upper left-hand corner, and then click Open.
If you don’t see the report server in the list of existing servers, close the Open Report dialog box and then click Connect at the bottom of Report Builder to connect to the server.
For detail information about Report Builder, please refer to the following document:

SharePoint 2010 & SQL Server Report Builder 3.0 - HTTP 404 Error

Hi all,
Apologies if this post is not in the correct forum.
I have recently upgraded my SQL installation on my SharePoint server from Express 2008 R2 to Standard 2008 R2 so I could set up Reporting Services Integration in CA. Followed instructions I found on web and all appeared to be good.
Installed Report Builder on my PC and set up a data source to a List I have on one of my site collections - "Test Connection" works fine. If I then try to create a Dataset using Query Designer, I get the error below -
"An error occurred when accessing the specified SharePoint list. The connection string might not be valid. Verify that the connection string is correct - The request failed with HTTP status 404: Not Found. (System.Web.Services)".
I can't even get to a point where I can see any fields from my list.
I am happy to provide any further information to try and clarify my problem. Any help would be most appreciated!

Just an update. I resolved my issue. The problem appeared to that when creating the Data Source, I had been adding the URL of the actual list (eg. http://servername/sitename/listname) as the connection string where in fact I should have just
added the server name and site - eg. http://servername/sitename.
Hopefully this may help somebody else :-)

SQL Server Report Builder Hyperlink Column Not Click-able?

I have a report with a hyperlink column that works in SQL Report Builder 3.0 desktop, but not on the website where it's shown.
1. 'Website_Domain' field is the shortened URL (domain) is the
text seen in the Report column
(technet.microsoft.com)
2. 'Website_Url' field is the full length URL which is used in the
'Go to URL' properties
(http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159106.aspx)
['Website Link' Expression]
=Fields!Website_Domain.Value
['Website Link' Column Properties]
Action = Go to URL
Selected URL: [Website_Url]

Hi pointeman,
I have tried your scenario on my test environment, but the issue was not reproduced. Please take the following steps as a reference:
Insert Website_Domain field in the detail row, then type the table header with “Website Link”.
Right-click the cell which contains [Website_Domain] to open Text Box Properties dialog box.
Click “Action” in the left pane, select “Go to URL” option with [Website_Url] as “Select URL”.
The following screenshot is for your reference:
If the issue still persists, could you please supply more information about the issue? Such as steps you have taken to add the URL or other else. If there are any misunderstanding, please elaborate the issue for further investigation.

SQL Server Report Builder 08 R2

Hi there, so I'm trying to create a report and I need to pull from two datasets. They have the same fields just that one is for production and the other for archive. I've seen the suggestions for lookup but I'm wondering if that is appropriate since I'm
not trying to include just one field

Hi JrConsultant15,
According to your description, you want to return data from two datasets in the report.
In your scenario, since two tables have two same fields, you could create one dataset instead of two datasets, then join those two tables on query level. So that you could return data in the report from one dataset. The query should look like below:
select * from table1 join table2 on table1.production = table2.production and table1.archive = table2.archive
Or you could create two datasets and use Lookup() function to return corresponding value. Since Lookup() function only return one field, if you want to return multiple fields form second dataset, you should use Lookup() function for each field.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best regards,

Creating an expression to return a yes/no or True/False statement in Ms SQL Server Report Builder

I am attempting to create a field that returns a True/False value instead of a numeric value. I have a field with the expression =Fields!CreditLimit.Value*.95 this returns a value that is equal to 95% of the value in my Balance field. The issue is I
don't remember how to turn =IIF (Fields!CreditLimit.Value > *.95, true, false) into an expression that compares the 2 fields and then returns True/False. Can you please help me out?
Thanks,
-John

Hi,
Try below one:
=IIF (Fields!CreditLimit.Value *.95>95, true, false)
Here you have to define a limit. For Example; When output of Fields!CreditLimit.Value
*.95 is greater than 95 then True else False. So specify the value according to your requirement.
Thanks Shiven:) If Answer is Helpful, Please Vote

Report Builder 1.0 for SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 R2

We are trying to implement Ad-Hoc Reporting using SSRS 2008 R2.
First of all, it is very unhelpful that all SSRS books are for either 2008 or 2012, even though SSRS has major changes in 2008 R2 compared to 2008.
Our instructional materials indicate that we should build Report Models to abstract out our databases into terms familiar to our business users.
The problem we are having is the difference in functionality between Report Builder 1.0 and Report Builder 3.0. Report Builder 3.0 is touted as having the modern, ribbon based interface that is supposed to make end-users feel more comfortable. However,
all the documentation says that end users are supposed to use Report Builder 1.0 for Ad-Hoc Reporting. And, it seems, that the reports generated by Report Builder 1.0 are not round-trip compatible with all the other reporting tools for SSRS 2008 R2.
The documentation we have illustrates that Report Builder 1.0 is nice for Ad-Hoc reporting, because is based on connecting directly to Report Models, and the end users can directly drag-and-drop entities and fields into their reports.
When we try working with Report Builder 3.0, it seems we must first connect to the Report Model as a Data Source and then build a Dataset query on the Report Model. Only then are some entity attributes available to be dropped into the report.
If the user decides another source column is needed, they have to go back, edit the query, save the query, and then drag the column from the Dataset to the report. This does not seem end user friendly at all!
We are also concerned that if we train our users on the seemingly soon-to-be-obsolete Report Builder 1.0, and get them used to having direct Report Model access, that at some point we will have to move them to the Dataset-interrupted approach of Report Builder
2+. Highlighting this perception of impending obsolescence of Report Builder 1.0 is that in our shop that is starting with SSRS 2008 R2, we cannot figure out how to get a copy of Report Builder 1.0 in the first place.
We just don't see our end users being savvy enough to handle the steps involved with creating Datasets on top of Report Model Data Sources. So we would have to build the Datasets for them. But in that case, what point is there in creating any
Report Models in the first place if DBAs are the ones to make Datasets?
As such, it is hard to envision a forward-looking SSRS implementation that has the end user ease-of-use Ad-Hoc reporting that the SSRS 2008 documentation presents.
What is it that Microsoft actually wants/expects SSRS implementers to do?

Hi Dan,
Report Builder 1.0
Simple template-based reports
Requires report model
Supports only SQL Server, Oracle, and Analysis Services as data sources
Supports RDL 2005
Bundled in SSRS
Report Builder 2.0 or later
Full-featured reports as the BIDS Report Designer
Doesn't require (but supports) report models
Supports any data source
Supports RDL 2008
Available as a separate web download
In your scenario, you want to use Report Builder 1.0 in SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 R2, I am afraid this cannot achieve. Report Builder 1.0 is available in the box in either SQL 2005 or SQL 2008. It is not available as a separate client apps and is
only available as a click once application.
Report Builder 1.0

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.

How to fix a report textbox aggregate expression error in SQL server reporting with multiple datasets?

I have a SQL Server Reporting Services report that has a textbox within a Report with variations of the following expression
=Sum(IiF(Fields!RegisterID.Value = 6000, 1, 0)
and
Iif(Fields!PointID.Value = 500, 1, 0)) / Sum(Iif(Fields!PointID.Value = 500, 1, 0))
I see the following error when I try to preview the report:
The Value expression for the text box ‘Textbox2’ uses an aggregate expression without a scope. A scope is required for all aggregates used outside of a data region unless the report contains exactly one dataset.
What am I missing in this this expression to make it run incorrectly

Can you include dataset name in your sum functions? e.g. Sum(IiF(Fields!RegisterID.Value = 6000, 1, 0)
and
Iif(Fields!PointID.Value = 500, 1, 0)) should include your dataset name as Sum(IiF(Fields!RegisterID.Value = 6000, 1, 0) and Iif(Fields!PointID.Value = 500, 1, 0),"datasetname")Like wise Sum(Iif(Fields!PointID.Value = 500, 1, 0)) should also have dataset name Sum(Iif(Fields!PointID.Value = 500, 1, 0),"datasetname")

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"
