SSRS on SBS

Hello,
I have a client who wants some reports written based on their SQL Server database which they say they is running on SBS.
I have asked them to check if there is a "Reporting" database in SQL Manager and they say there isn't.
Can anyone tell me if their SQL Server SBS license covers the installation of SSRS please?
If, not, does anyone know what needs to be done to get SSRS installed? Do they need to buy an additional license?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

My client has come back with the answer that the database is SQL Server 2008.
So I am still unclear if they have a license for SSRS.
I need to ask them what "edition" they have?
How do I explain to them where/how to find this please?
Thanks

SSRS Expression Month at a glance

I have a report that I am trying to regress the payment sums out month by month. I know how to do this in SQL, but no idea in SSRS. Below is what I would like the table to look like.
Year                             Month
Total Payments       Month1            Month2             Month 3
2012                              1
10,000.00                2000.00          2000.00            6000.00
                                     2
15,000.00                5000.00           1000.00           9000.00
And this would go on. I have the report built to drill down by year and month and show the sum of the payments. What I can not figure out is how to break out the payments collected month by month. I hope this makes sense.

Okay after much playing with this I have starting having success. This is what I want to do.
=sum(IIF(Fields!MPaidDate.Value = Month(Dateadd(DateInterval.Month, 1, Fields!Date_Recieved.Value))
and Fields!YPaidDate.Value = Year(Fields!Date_Recieved.Value), Fields!Amount_Paid.Value,0))
My month 1 column I left out the dateadd and I got back the right values. But when I try to add 1 month with date add it returns false.
Why do you need to write conditional expressions like this?Isnt it enough to bring MONTH(datecolumn) as a field in your dataset and use matrix control in your report? Add year to rowgroup and Month to column group to get data split up into monthwise. And inside
data part add three columns to show your measure value ie.#of orders ,
  Balance
& Total Paid

Replacing NULL and EmptyString('') with "Unknown" in SSRS parameter dropdown

All,
What I want to do is, in the SSRS parameter drop down, instead of showing NULL and Blank values(), i want to categorize them as "Unknown", so, if the user selects "Unknown" from the SSRS drop down parameter, he should be able to see all
the records that have NULL values or empty strings in that particular column in the result set.
Can you tell me, how should I handle it in my main stored proc as well as in the dataset?
Right now, i have something like this:
Where
(t1.name in (select value from dbo.Split(@TName,',')) OR @TName IN ('All'))
-- Where t1.Name has empty strings and NULL values. Both of these values should be categorized under "Unknown"
-- How would the dataset query look like? Right now I have this query for populating the drop down for that parameter:
Select All
UNION
Select Distinct Name
Order BY 1

Hello,
Please refer to the following stored procedure:
SELECT
CASE WHEN TName IS NULL OR TName = ''
THEN 'Unknown' ELSE TName END AS TName
From DemoTable
Then, use following query code to get the parameter values:
SELECT Distinct
CASE WHEN TName IS NULL OR TName = '' THEN 'Unknown'
ELSE TName END AS TName
FROM DemoTable

Sharepoint Foundation 2010 and SSRS

Hi I have one small problem with Sharepoint Foundation 2010 and SSRS Integrated mode.
We have one installation with frontend and backend server, backend is installed on SSRS server and Kerberos authentication is enabled.
There are no problem to view reports with webparts but when you make one automatic subscription to make Report PDF files in one file share, it makes 5 och 30 files.
I can only find this in log files:
w3wp!library!18!01/26/2015-19:20:33:: i INFO: Skipped creating a dump file for the error InternalCatalogException, because a dump with the identical stack trace (with signature 1778776910) was already created.

Any ideas?

Hi Dalibor,
Based on your description, my understanding is that the error occurred when automatically making Report PDF files.
Could you please provide the version of SQL server in your environment?
If you are using SQL server 2012, I recommend to update the SQL server with SP1 and CU7 to see if the issue still occurs.
And please also re-configure the Reporting Service Application and then check the results:

Sharepoint Foundation 2013 On a SBS 2011 Domain??

I have an SBS 2011 domain with 2 servers(SBS2011 Premium) The SBS box acts as domain controller and the second server runs Server 2008R2 and has SQL 2008R2 on it for Dynamics GP and Dynamics CRM 2011 and hosts the Sharepoint Foundation 2010 Databases. Is
there a way that I can setup a Sharepoint Foundation 2013 farm. Currently both boxes are farm members in the 2010 farm. I would like to keep the setup similar but if I have to can I just run the farm on the 2nd server. Will it live side by side with the Sharepoint
2010 on the SBS box. What about Companyweb? Thanks in advance

SSAS SSRS Report Action on Cell Value w/ Embedded Single Quote Not Executing

I have configured an SSAS 2008 R2 cube SSRS ReportAction. I'm having problems when the member value for a cell has an embedded single quote, e.g. abc's. The action displays on the context menu appropriately, but when I click on the action, nothing happens.
For member values that do not have the single quote, the action works as designed. I've added a calculated ember to escape the embedded single quote by adding another single quote, e.g. abc''s, with no luck. Is there a resolution or workaround for this?

Hi Mdccuber,
According to your description, you create a reporting action in you cube, and it works fine except the members that have embedded single quote, right? In your scenario, it seems that you pass this value to the report as the parameter.
In SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS), when pass values to a report, multi-select parameters have to be placed into IN statement and SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) will do single-quote wrapping for string values automatically. In this case, the original
value that have embedded single quote will be damaged. So this action not work. You can submit a feedback at
http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/Feedback and hope it is resolved in the next release of service pack or product.

SSRS Report Returning Double Quote string from a Single Quote String

Hi, I'm getting weird thing in resultset from SSRS report when executed. When I pass parameter to a report, which passes String that has single quote value to a split function , it returns rows with double quote.
For example following string:
'N gage, Wash 'n Curl,Murray's, Don't-B-Bald
Returns:
''N gage, Wash ''n Curl,Murray''s, Don''t-B-Bald
through SSRS report.
Here is the split function Im using in a report.
CREATE Function [dbo].[fnSplit] (
@List varchar(8000),
@Delimiter char(1)
Returns @Temp1 Table (
ItemId int Identity(1, 1) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY ,
Item varchar(8000) NULL
As
Begin
Declare @item varchar(4000),
@iPos int
Set @Delimiter = ISNULL(@Delimiter, ';' )
Set @List = RTrim(LTrim(@List))
-- check for final delimiter
If Right( @List, 1 ) <> @Delimiter -- append final delimiter
Select @List = @List + @Delimiter -- get position of first element
Select @iPos = Charindex( @Delimiter, @List, 1 )
While @iPos > 0
Begin
-- get item
Select @item = LTrim( RTrim( Substring( @List, 1, @iPos -1 ) ) )
If @@ERROR <> 0 Break -- remove item form list
Select @List = Substring( @List, @iPos + 1, Len(@List) - @iPos + 1 )
If @@ERROR <> 0 Break -- insert item
Insert @Temp1 Values( @item ) If @@ERROR <> 0 Break
-- get position pf next item
Select @iPos = Charindex( @Delimiter, @List, 1 )
If @@ERROR <> 0 Break
End
Return
End
FYI: I'm getting @List value from a table and passing it as a string to split function.
Any help would be appreciated!

How to hide/view a SSRS report parameter control dynamically at runtime?

Hi,
I am using SSRS 2005. I want to enable/disable or hide/view parameters based on another parameter selection.
Say Suppose I have 5 parameters. User selects first value in first parameter I should show only Second parameter and hide remaining 3 parameters (Parameter 3,Parameter 4 & Parameter 5).
If user selects second value in first parameter I should show third parameter and hide remaining 3 parameters(Parameter 2,Parameter 4 & Parameter 5).
Similarly If user selects third value in first parameter I should show fourth and fifth parameter and hide remaining 2 parameters(Parameter 2 & Parameter 3).
There is no relationship between these parameters except user selection.
I can not see any Visible property for report parameters.
Any "builtin" support in SSRS for this scenario.
Appreciate your help.
Regards,
Bala

Thanks for the tips.
RDL is deployed in Report sever and the Report is integrated with .net application. End user view the
Reports from Application.
Currently I show the parameters as you mentioned in point 2.
Based on my understanding on Point 1, I want to create an independent web page in .net that has
the entire parameters section and then a submit button that calls the report with the selected parameters.
From SSRS side, I want to hide the parameters statically and make default values as NULL.
Can I achieve Show/Hide parameter functionality by this way?

Bala

SSRS Expressions: Part 1 - Program Flow
PT: "A very comprehensive article about program flow expressions. Nice job. I'm sure many will benefit from this article. Just a little feedback about some terminology that could be more clear: The entire statement that is
typically used to set a property value for an object in an SSRS report is an "expression". Each of the three programming constructs you've mentioned (e.g. IIF, SWITCH & CHOOSE) are "functions" and not expressions or statements."
Jinchun Chen: "Perfect! Good article for SSRS newbie."
Ed Price: "The table and images help bring it more value. Great job!"

SSRS Reports taking long time to load

Hello,
Problem : SSRS Reports taking long time to load
My System environment : Visual Studio 2008 SP1 and SQL Server 2008 R2
Production Environment : Visual Studio 2008 SP1 and SQL Server 2008 R2
I have created a Parameterized report (6 parameters), it will fetch data from 1 table. table has 1 year and 6 months data,      I am selecting parameters for only 1 month (about 2500 records). It is taking almost 2 minutes and 30 seconds
to load the report.
This report running efficiently in my system (report load takes only 5 to 6 seconds) but in
production it is taking 2 minutes 30 seconds.
I have checked the Execution log from production so I found the timing for
Data retrieval (approx~)    Processing (approx~)           Rendering (approx~)
10 second                                  15 sec
        2 mins and 5 sec.
But Confusing point is that , if I run the same report at different time overall output time is same (approx) 2 min 30 sec but
Data retrieval (approx~)       Processing (approx~)                Rendering (approx~)
more than 1 min                            15 sec
more than 1 min
so 1 question why timings are different ?
My doubts are
1) If query(procedure to retrieve the data) is the problem then it should take more time always,
2) If Report structure is problem then rendering will also take same time (long time)
for this (2nd point) I checked on blog that Rendering depends on environment structure e.g. Network bandwidth, RAM, CPU Usage , Number of users accessing same report at a time.
So I did testing of report when no other user working on any report But failed (same result output is 2 min 30 sec)
From network team I got the result is that there is no issue or overload in CPU usage or RAM also No issue in Network bandwidth.
Production Database Server and Report server are different (but in same network).
I checked that database server the SQL Server is using almost Full RAM (23 GB out of 24 GB)
I tried to allocate the memory to less amount up to 2GB (Trial solution I got from Blogs) but this on also failed.
one hint I got from colleague that , change the allocated memory setting from static memory to dynamic to SQL Server
(I guess above point is the same) I could not find that option Static and Dynamic memory setting.
I did below steps
Connected to SQL Server Instance
Right click on Instance go to properties, Go to Memory Tab
I found three options 1) Server Memory   2) Other memory   3) Section for "Configured values and Running values"
Then I tried to reduce Maximum Server memory up to 2 GB (As mentioned above)
All trials failed, this issue I could not find the roots for this issue.
Can anyone please help (it's bit urgent).

Hi UdayKGR,
According to your description, your report takes too long to load on your production environment. Right?
In this scenario, since the report runs quickly in developing environment, we initially think it supposed to be the issue on data retrieval. However, based on the information in execution log, it takes longest time on rendering part. So we suggest you optimize
the report itself to reduce the time for rendering. Please refer to the link below:
My report takes too long to render
Here is another article about overall performance optimization for Reporting Services:

SSRS show trend chart over column chart per series groups

Need help in designing following report in SSRS, where I have a chart report with 2 category grouping fields and 1 series group field (as with category grouping, the reason being, i need to show columns in group of 4 joined together based on their grouping
on top) .
Below are my queries
1. how to show my category grouping values on top of chart (showing group in different color) and series grouping values on bottom of chart (under each bar)
2. I need to show trend line over each series group data.
For example, First category group is over hotel name, second category group is over room type (deluxe, executive & suite) and one Series group over week number (for a month report), and the chart value is total occupancy (per hotel per room type per week
number). Now for point 1, Hotel name and room type needs to be on top of the column (total occupancy) chart, where a week iteration number (1,2,3,4 for a month) at the bottom of the chart under every column.
And for point 2, I need to show trend line per room per week occupancy was improved or not.
Regards, Sujay

Hi Sujay,
According to your description, you want to display the two category group values at the top of the total occupancy value. Also you want to create a trend line over series values.
For your first requirement, you can specify the Label data as a combination of two category group values and total occupancy values. Then change the location of series group value legend. Please refer to below screenshot.
For your second requirement, you can add additional total occupancy values to the Chart Data panel, then change the chart type as Smooth Line.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

SSRS IIF Returning #ERROR

I have an expression in my SSRS report that calculates a field Total across multiple groups:
=IIf(SUM(Fields!sales_Dollars.Value) > 0 ,(SUM(Fields!Total_Defective__.Value)/IIF(SUM(Fields!sales_Dollars.Value) <= 0, 1, SUM(Fields!sales_Dollars.Value))),0)
I had to alter it by adding groups within the statement:
=SUM(IIf(SUM(Fields!sales_Dollars.Value,"Item_Process_Group") > 0 ,(SUM(Fields!Total_Defective__.Value,"Item_Process_Group")/IIF(SUM(Fields!sales_Dollars.Value,"Item_Process_Group") <= 0, 1, SUM(Fields!sales_Dollars.Value,"Item_Process_Group"))),0))
The problem is that there is a 0 in the denominator of one of the rows in the calc that is not in the group specified in the clause. This causes an #error. (at least I believe this is the cause)
is there a way to slip in a check for zero in **Fields!sales_Dollars.Value** with no group? sort of like how it does it in the first code example.
I need the group names in the bottom portion to pull the correct values.

Hi,
I have tested with your sample data, its working fine for me with your expression as shown in the below screen.

SSRS with DAX - parameters multivalue vs total element

Hi all,
I'm using SSRS on top of a SSAS tabular model to create intuitive dashboards for management department.
One thing I'm struggling with is the lack of a "total" on parameters. What I'm doing is, based on the fact table, I create the datasets that will feed each parameter, so it only has the dimension members available on the fact table. That is fine
performance wise, you only have 1 element and it renders very quickly.
For a management perspective at a higher level it is important to view the totals to have the big picture of the information. In my project we are in a University, so I have the parameters Year, school (there are several schools in the university campus)
and the course (computer sciences, math, statistics, etc).
At first glance, if I'm a course coordinador I want to pick my course and have a global view, and I'm achiveing that, but imagine now, that I am the school coordinator, or the university coordenator.
I want to see the aggregate values by all courses or by all schools.
In my view I have 2 ways to do this and I come from a tradition cubes background:
1 - I would use the all element the cubes hierarchy have on each attribute
2 - I would use multivalue parameters with StrToSet (worse performance)
Using DAX what is your approach?
Best regards

Hi AsifMehmood,
Per my understanding you have create an SSRS report with SharePoint list, now you don’t know to create the distinct parameters by using CAML query, right?
For the CAML language doesn’t have any reserved word (or tag) to set this particular filter to remove duplicate results, but we can use the custom code to do this function. I have tested on my local environment and we can do that by create one hidden parameter(Param1)
to get all the values from the fields which will add the filter and then create another parameter(Param2) to get the distinct values based on the Param1, we use the custom code to do the deduplication.
Step by Steps information in below thread for your reference to create the parameters and the custom code:
"How to get distinct values of sharepoint column using SSRS"
Other similar thread for your reference:
https://audministrator.wordpress.com/2014/02/17/sharepoint-list-add-distinct-parameter-value/
If your problem still exists, please feel free to ask and also try to provide us more details information.

=Cdate(Format(Cdate(Mid(Fields!createdon.Value,4,2) & "/" & Mid(Fields!createdon.Value,1,2) & "/" & Mid(Fields!createdon.Value,7,4)),"MMMM yyyy"))
which gives me the month in MMMM yyyy format in Jan 2014, Feb 2014, Mar 2014... so on
i need to remove a average of a month
i.e Months value/No of months
I do i get number of months dynamically in SSRS
Any help much appreciated
Thanks

Hi Pradnya07,
In your scenario, it seems that the createdon is a string data type field with this format: 15/09/2014.
If we want to get the number of the month in the createdon field, we can directly use the expression below:
=cint(Mid(Fields!createdon.Value,4,2))
If you also need to get the average data for a month like ‘Months value/No of months’, please refer to the following expression:
= Fields!Amount.Value /cint(Mid(Fields!createdon.Value,4,2))
If there are any misunderstanding, please elaborate the issue for further investigation.
Thanks,

SSRS Using Sum and = in a conditional operator

Hi,
Still getting to grips with SSRS so any help would be appreciated.
My aim is to calculate a conditional field using the SSRS expression feature, the datasource is a shared dataset which i can't alter so i can't just go an alter the SQL query or anything.
In SQL my query would be like this: SELECT COUNT(TotalHours) FROM TableName WHERE TotalHours <= 24
Is there anyway to combined the Iff and Sum operator's to get a result like the above?
At present all i managed to come up with is the below but obviously it's not returning the correct amount.
=IIf(Fields!TotalHours.Value <= "24", Sum(Fields!TotalHours.Value), 0 )
Please help!
Edit: Please note that i'm not trying to sum a field based on a condition that relates to another column, i just need a sum of 'TotalHours' that are less than or equal to 24, please also note there is another field called category, each category needs a
sum of the above.
Regards,
Marcus

Hi Marcus,
According to your description, you want to count [TotalHours] when the value of this field is less than 24, right?
In your scenario, you could use the expression like below:
=Sum(IIF(Fields!TotalHours.Value<=24,1,0))
Please note don’t put this expression in the detail rows, you could refer to our test results:
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
