This must have been so obvious to everyone else that nobody bothered to write an article on it... till now. Situation I have a report that returns room bookings based on a user and given a date range. The problem is that there are a few thousand users and Microsoft's SQL Server Reporting Services interface isn't the mo...
Open a Windows Explorer and make a duplicate of the report that you want to use as a template. Rename the copy (suffix with template?) Remove objects unique to the report and leave elements for all reports. File > Save selected item as... For SSRS 2008: Save in the folder: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\...
Update August 2011 So I don't know how many people were just saying why don't you do the following: Bring up the "Tablix Properties" of the dataset Look for the section "No Rows" Put in a value for "NoRowsMessage". This solution hides the entire Tablix which kinda defeats the purpose of having anything there. I want my...
Re: Business Intelligence Development Studio 2008 Often happens to me and not sure why. You open the project and the window panel for the Report Data containing the parameters and datasets isn't there. I spent a bit of time enabling/disabling toolbars before I found this. Open a Report solution (or have one open alread...
This may sound silly to some but I've written a note because I spent time googling and still didn't find an answer. My situation is that I wanted to put an expression to format the border (empty cells have a border and non-empty don't). This was so that a grid would show for empty spaces. I wasn't getting very far beca...
Well I tried and I spent a few hours searching the net for a solution which displays the hours in the top columns, and undefined number of rooms in the rows. No all I was looking for was a calendar showing 1 day with the hours on the top. Working hours only as well... Ok I admit I only googled for about 1 hour before I...
I thought I'd put something here as there are lots of posts like this on forums (a lot of which seem to be copied & pasted from other sites) but they refer to SQL Server 2000 or SQL Server 2005. This is how to do it in SQL Server 2008 and creating a report in Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS) or MS Report...
Thought I'd put a note on how to remove the toolbar using the URL as I didn't find this clear on the net. Tried it and it didn't work. That's because I was using the Reporting Manager URL rather than the Reporting Server URL.
This is just a note for me as it took a while to find on the net and even then it was confusing as to why it works but it does. Not sure whether you call this an MDX Query or part of a Transact-SQL mashup. You need to go to "Fill" (of each text box in the row - unless there's a faster way) and instead of color, click o...
Working principle
This site exists as a practical knowledge base built from real-world experience across systems, platforms, and technologies since 1999. Much of the content documents solutions, edge cases, and working patterns that were learned through investigation where documentation was incomplete or absent, and is shared to reduce the same friction for others.
