Report Builder - Unicode Symbols - toggle the Print Layout button

I have a report that is broken into three pages. When the report is exported as an Excel file I need the tabs to be named correctly.
My report is in this format:
First Page:
Table
Chart - I have the Chart Properties set to Add a page break after.
Second Page:
Matrix - I have the Tablix Properties set to Add a page break after.
Third Page:
Chart
Chart
I am currently using this version of Visual Studio to create the report if that matters.
I have found some useful links about adding page breaks on row groups, but I don't see anything about breaking on the entire matrix or a chart.
I'm using SSRS (specifically the Report Builder) for generating some fairly basic reports from SQL Server 2012. Report Builder 3.0. When I add a field from the database that is stored as rich text (with the tags and all), it simply displays all of those tags right on the report, instead of showing the properly formatted text.
I've dug around in the tools as much as I can, and can't find a way to get that field to display in a formatted way.
Is there a function, or setting, somewhere that I'm missing that will get the text to display properly?
I don't believe it's possible to display Rich Text in an SSRS report.
You could render the Rich Text to an image file, and then display the image on the report.
However, it is possible to use HTML markup which could also be of use to you.
To add HTML from a field in your dataset into a text box
On the Insert tab, click List. Click the design surface, and then
drag to create a box that is the size you want.
The Dataset Properties dialog box opens. You can use a shared dataset or a
dataset embedded in your report. For more information, click Dataset
Properties Dialog Box, Query (Report Builder) or Dataset Properties
Dialog Box, Query.
On the Insert tab, click Text Box. Click in the list, and then drag
to create a box that is the size you want.
Drag an HTML field from your dataset into the text box. A
placeholder is created for your field.
Right-click the placeholder, and then click Placeholder Properties.
On the General tab, verify that the Value box contains an expression that evaluates to the field you dropped in step 3.
Click HTML - Interpret HTML tags as styles. This causes the field to
be evaluated as HTML.
Click OK.
Source: MSDN - Add HTML into a Report (Report Builder and SSRS)
This means you have a couple of options:
You could write a function that removes the Rich Text tags, leaving you the plain text to display.
Render the Rich Text to an image file and display the image on the report.
Instead of using Rich Text in your dataset, you start using HTML markup.
Write a function that replaces the Richt Text tags with equivalent HTML styled tags. This would be a little more work but still a valid solution.
How to create a simple report with AS3 Flash then print it (since there is no report engine in Flash) ?
My app (developed in Flash) is a simple survey form, so peoples use it to fill their answers, then there is a button to review their answer (like Microsoft Word print preview page, before you print it).
Its better addition if we can export it to pdf or excel format
Quick way to do it is generate a HTML page from as3 and execute it with default browser and let the user print from there.
I have a large report that I built in Report Builder 3.0. The report consist of several tablexes and several (800 - 1000) textboxes. When I get an error in an expression, the system says I have an error in Textbox205 for example. Is there an easy way to find "Textbox205"?
When using Visual Studio, at the top of the Properties window there is a drop down box with all the objects on your report in it. You can find and select the object in there.
One technique is to open the .rdl file in a text editor and Ctrl-F search for the text box name. This will take you to the xml attributes of the textbox, which usually allows you determine which textbox contains the problem.
I typically click any element and then start pressing tab till I find what I am looking for.
The element name will be displayed in the properties window:
You can right-click on the report(.rdl) and click "View Code". This opens the xml file in Visual Studio.
You can search the number in the xml file.
With Visual Studio, you can see the Document Schema (Ctrl + Alt + T) with View > Other windows > Document Schema. It will appear a window with a tree view of the full report.
I have a report to build that has many different fields showing various results.
As these numbers are not intuitive, I need some sort of mechanism to display a balloon tooltip when the user hovers over or clicks on a number.
I am open to either Crystal reports or SSRS. I will just be limited to the free editions that come with visual studio 2008.
Any help or advice is appreciated
In SSRS, most controls have ToolTips
For example, the textbox properties tab
Crystal Reports also supports tool-tip text. Right click the field, select Format Field..., then the Common tab. Enter a static value in the 'tool tip text' field or click the button to the right of the field and enter a conditional formula that will calculate the value.
