SSRS 2008: date format Jan 3rd 2014

Hi Friends,
Please provide a way to below result from regular datetime field(I dont have an option to update a query)
Jan 3rd 2014
here in 3rd the word 'rd' should be small.
Please do the needful.
Thanks in advance

I think you are going to need to custom format your string, and use some custom code to call in your report to add the rd, st, th to the end of your number.
I should note that the following example should have included 23, as well as 3 in the 'rd' section

Is there a way in SSRS 2008 to format datetime to half hour?

Is there a way to format date time in SSRS 2008 to half hour. I am working on a graph and I am sorting by the hour, but i need
half hour is there a way I can do this?

Hi Fozzy767,
To round time to half hour, we need to use custom function in SQL Server Reporting Service(SSRS). A similiar function can be got from the following thread:

Restored our SSRS 2008 R2 from one server to another; Dates are in UK format and not US

We have restored our SSRS 2008 R2 from one server to another. The original server was in US locale/culture. The new server was in UK locale/culture, when the restore happened. However it should have been in US locale/culture. We have made this change and
new reports work OK.
However existing reports (i.e. saved by a user) are still trying to use the US dates in a UK format and as a result throwing a date cant be below 1753 error.
Has anyone seen this issue before or have any idea what we need to do to fix it?
Thanks

Hi Kimberlad
Have you checked any changes in the Collation?
Please verify Reporting Server Databases and Server Collation is there any mismatch with your Source Server.
and also please post complete Error message..

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,

Ssrs 2008 r2 obtain today and yesterday's date

In an SSRS 2008 r2 report, I want to set the default value to yesterday's date in a parameter called startdate. In a parameter called enddate, I want to set the default parameter value to todays date.
I have tried the following to set the default values:
=today()
and
=DateAdd("d".-1.today()).
The above does not work.
Thus would you let me know how to set the default parameter values of start date to yesterday's date and the enddate to today's date?

Why it didnt work? what did it give you? Its working fine for me
Are you trying to strip off time part?
if yes try like
=Today().ToString("mm/dd/yyyy")
or whatever format you want
similarly
=DATEADD(DateInterval.Day,-1,Today()).ToString("mm/dd/yyyy")

SSRS 2008 R2 - Dynamic header data stays the same when exporting

Background:
I have a SSRS 2008 R2 report with a single Tablix.
The data is grouped by InvoiceID, with each appearing on a separate page.
I'm displaying some of the detail data in the group header row using Expressions similar to the following:
="Invoice # " & ReportItems!InvoiceID.Value"
The data referred to by my ReportItems statements are all hidden in the detail row (Advanced Mode, the Hidden Value for the Static Row Group is set to false).
Problem:
When I Preview the report in Visual Studio, everything looks as it should - the dynamic header data changes correctly with each group.
However, whenever I export the results (I've tried all the formats), the header data is the same for every group - its taking the values from the first group and using it in all the groups.
I've copied the same expressions into my Totals row, and the data is correct when exported; its only happening in my header rows.
Any help in resolving this is greatly appreciated, thank you.

Hi Alex,
According to your description, you have a header with expression contains ReportItems. Now you find it shows incorrect result when exporting to a file. Right?
In Reporting Services, it has reported some similar issue that the ReportItem returns unexpected result when exporting. In this scenario, since you just want to show the group name in each page as a header for detail rows. So you can make the
detail rows group on the Group. Then delete the Group column but still keep the group. After that add a row above detail row (Out side of group) and put in "=Fields!InvoiceID.Value". Now it will show the corresponding Group name
when you set page break between each group instance. We have tested this case in our local environment. Here are screenshots for your reference:

field expressions using ReportItem refrences have unexpected results when exporting
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

SQL SSRS 2008 DateTime Calendar Control and Oracle 10g Data Source

Hello. I am creating reports in SSRS 2008 using the calendar control for a date range. Let's say we select a start date of 3/3/2012. This parameter is sent into my SQL statement in the WHERE clause which is executed against an Oracle 10g database. All syntax has to be in SQL that Oracle understands, so no CONVERT or CAST.
The format of the date is throwing an error "ORA-01843: not a valid month" when I try to use the following:
SELECT *
FROM TABLE
WHERE STARTDATE >= TO_DATE('3/03/2012', 'MM/DD/YYYY')
I get ORA-01722: invalid number when I try the following:
SELECT *
FROM TABLE
WHERE STARTDATE >= >= TO_CHAR('3/03/2012', 'MM/DD/YYYY')
I cannot find a way to format the date parameter in SQL Server SSRS before it gets to the SQL to be executed in Oracle.
Please help.
Thanks,
Sunny

You are right, it sure doesn't prove anything other than how the date looks right out of the Oracle database, but hopefully, it will give a clue as to how I need my SSRS date parameter to work.

It works. The problem is getting the parameter '3/3/2012' into a usable format for Oracle.
Let's assume an application is sending in '3/3/2012' which will be used in an Oracle query (no PL/SQL allowed, nor can I create functions, stored procedures, etc - only straight up SQL). How can I prepare the parameter to successfully do the compare on the Oracle Date field?

Multi line HTML data formatting on SSRS reprot

Hi
I am using SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 , data fetching by Project server database,data value is getting by multi line rich text field.
when showing same data in HTML format
on ssrs reports its shows every style what ever user copy and paste on particular field like font size ,colors and them.
I have requirement to show unique font size and unique family font,I am unable to achieve this using lot of placeholder properties.
below u can find the example

Hi Hasan,
According to your description that the some of the report data retrieved by multi line rich text field, which style show differently in the report, you have tried to create the placeholder using the HTML tag to format the data
but failed to achieve, right?
The issue due to the rich text formatting is not supported in SSRS 2008, Currently, you have mentioned that you tried to using the HTML tag to reformat the text but failed, that may due to Reporting Services support limit HTML tags when defined as placeholder
text. Please see:
• Hyperlinks: <A href>
• Fonts: <FONT>
• Header, style and block elements: <H{n}>, <DIV>, <SPAN>,<P>, <DIV>, <LI>, <HN>
• Text format: <B>, <I>, <U>, <S>
• List handling: <OL>, <UL>, <LI>
In your scenario, I recommend you to take reference of method below to get the unique format text.
Check the supported HTML tag and using the correct tag to format
If you want to get the RTF format:
If using Report Viewer Windows control, we can render the RTF file into IMG file, and then display the image on the report.
Nayan Patel written good artilce about this:
http://binaryworld.net/Main/CodeDetail.aspx?CodeId=4049
This article give us the idea to convert RTF to image and then display on the report.
You can also convert the RTF text to the plain text which by default in the report:

Ssrs 2008 r2 date parameter not working all the time

In an SSRS 2008 r2 report, I am not getting some records selected when I run the report in the ssrs 2008 r2 report.
However when I run the sql in ssis manager, the records are selected. Thus I am trying to determine why some of the records are not selected whe running the ssrs report.
In the table called 'transactionfile', the fields that I am trying to determine where there is a problem is the following:
SchoolNumber (varchar(50),null), and
TransactionPaymentDate (varchar(50),null).
Examples of data are SchoolNumber = '121' and TransactionPaymentDate = '04162014'
In the SSRS report, the parameter value for @SchoolNumber is text and the parameter value for @EndDate and @StartDate is date/time.
The following is the query I am having a problem with:
SELECT s.SchoolNumber,
      CONVERT(smalldatetime,substring(TransactionPaymentDate,5,4) + '-' + substring      (TransactionPaymentDate,1,2)+ '-' +
substring(TransactionPaymentDate,3,2)) as        TransactionPaymentDate
from [eF].[dbo].[transactionfile] f
       INNER JOIN
    [eF].[dbo].schools] s
    on rtrim(ltrim(s.SchoolNumber)) =rtrim(ltrim(f.SchoolNumber))
where rtrim(ltrim(s.SchoolNumber)) = rtrim(ltrim(@SchoolNumber))
      AND
      Cast(Right(TransactionPaymentDate,4)+Left(TransactionPaymentDate,4) as Date)
        >= @StartDate
     AND
   Cast(Right(TransactionPaymentDate,4)+Left(TransactionPaymentDate,4) as Date) <= @EndDate
Thus could you suggerst what could be wrong when selecting some records by date?

First check whether transaction payment date has 8 digit or not. In yes then try the below query,
SELECT s.SchoolNumber,
CONVERT(smalldatetime,substring(TransactionPaymentDate,5,4) + '-' + substring(TransactionPaymentDate,1,2)+ '-' +
substring(TransactionPaymentDate,3,2)) as TransactionPaymentDate
from [eF].[dbo].[transactionfile] f
INNER JOIN [eF].[dbo].schools] s
on rtrim(ltrim(s.SchoolNumber)) =rtrim(ltrim(f.SchoolNumber))
where rtrim(ltrim(s.SchoolNumber)) = rtrim(ltrim(@SchoolNumber))
AND
cast(substring(TransactionPaymentDate,5,4) + '/' +
substring(TransactionPaymentDate,1,2)+ '/' +
substring(TransactionPaymentDate,3,2) as date) between @StartDate AND @EndDate

SSRS 2008: how to show an empty chart with legend and x and y axis when no data available

Hi,
I am using SSRS 2008, I generated one chart in report designer with the data from Analysis Services (Cube).
According to the dataset, there is no data returned when I run the query. so when I preview the chart, there is nothing but "no data available" showing on the chart.
Here I want to know is there any possible to show an empty chart with legend and x and y axis?
If it is possible, can you tell me how can I make it?
Best Regards.
Connie Zhu

Hi,
When there is no data, the chart displays the message "no data available". But using a little work around, you can display an empty chart.
Please find the below steps given to achieve this
1. Create a new dataset using TSQL to return 1 row of data having the category field and value field set to 0. Add the fields that are necessary for the category fields, series fields and datafields.
   A simple example would be like
   SELECT 'abc' as Category, 0 as Amount
2. Add a new chart, set the category field to 'Category' and set the data field to Amount from above dataset created in step 1.
3. In the new chart, right click the category axis and select axis properties, Click on the labels tab, check on
'Hide axis labels' and then click ok
4. Now set the Visibility property of both the charts depending on the rows returned from your main dataset
   a. click on your main chart and set its Hidden property to :
=iif(CountRows("MainDataSet"),false,true)
   b. click on the new blank chart added and set its Hidden proprety to (the opposite) :
=iif(CountRows("MainDataSet"),true,false)
   Note : Please change the dataset name in above expression "MainDataset" to the name of your chart's dataset
5. Resize the new chart to the same size as your main chart, then position the new chart on the place as the main chart.
   (Note : You can set the position of new chart to be same by copying the location property from the main chart)
6. Now run and observe the result. When there are no rows returned by your main dataset, the new chart (the blank chart) should be displayed.
I've added a working sample of this kind of a report
here.
Hope this helps. Please feel free to discuss if you have any questions.

Formscentral - how do I change required date format to long date (e.g. January 2, 2014) in a form field? I can't seem to change it from the short date format.

Hi,
I would suggest you to change the form language to English (UK), Here are the steps:-
1. Open your form in FormsCentral
2. Clik on Options tab
3. Click on Language and Formatting and check out the selection for Form Language and make sure English (U.K.) is selected and the default date format should be day/month/year.
