I am using SSRS 2016. I have a textbox that returns an amount. I am trying to set two alignment in one textbox. $ 2,786.sucs as $ symbol on left and amount in right alignment. is there a better way to do ? as I am concatenating $, Spaces and amount but this action expands in some amount.

Here is the crystal report pic. How can we achieve same in SSRS.
I think those can be emulated as merged cells in a table with two detail lines.
The cell with the CARTONS field is merged with the one to the right of it. The same for the Tag For field that has the STORE values.
Not sure how to get those lines that overlap the text though.
Every expression is left align, I don't know why some labels are overlap and have more space.
see pic 2, label cancer within 5 years is overlap with expression.
see pic 3, output for unresponsive state has more space than output 1
How do I fix those problems?
It seems likely to me that SSRS is adjusting the size of some surrounding object and that is causing these fields to get bumped. I would check into the surrounding objects and make sure that their CanGrow and CanShrink Attributes are set to false. I would also recommend putting the expression in the same text box as the description (i.e., copying and pasting the expression into the "Cancer within 5 years: " textbox.
i have an ssrs 2008 R2 matrix with Accounts on Rows, Months on Columns and Sales in the data section. I need to “double underline” the sales numbers but I can’t figure out how to do this.
i tried using “double border” but that would create one giant line across instead of just underlining the sales numbers - in other words, the display would be a single long line across.
any idea how to achieve this? i am willing to use custom code in the report code. Thanks in advance for your help.
Edit: Adding a screen shot to show the desired output:
For some reason the Double text box BorderStyle property seems to be rather temperamental.
This MSDN thread suggests a few requirements to get this running:
Double Line border turn to be single in Reporting Service
The border width must be 3pt at least.
There must be at least one row beneath the Double border text box.
Let's test this out. A simple tablix:
And let's set the bottom text box to be Double at the bottom:
In Preview this is unsuccessful:
Let's test out the suggestions. First, set the width to 3pt:
Same result:
Let's add an extra row below:
It works:
What's going on here? It seems like if the width is too low, the two lines will squash together. Also, it seems like the border actually spills to an adjacent text box, so if this doesn't exist the bottom line is not displayed.
Put them together and it works.
One more note - this is not required for Excel - just add a 1pt Double border and it will be fine. The above series of steps are only required for Web, PDF, etc.
I am attempting to reproduce a form within SSRS and fill it with data. The original form has blocks with small labels inside of each box that identifies the entry requested.
I "thought" I could simply use two different tablixes: one for the blocks with borders and labels, and the other one with the actual datafields or expressions, and align the 2nd tablix directly over the first one so that it appears as though the fields are presenting data inside of the labeled boxes.
It looked as I wanted it in design view, but when I went to preview the report, it pushed the 2nd tablix below the first tablix, in effect creating two tablixes, one stacked on top of the other one (not displaying as how I intended).
So, how do I accomplish the form design in the manner that I am seeking?
You should be using a type other than tablix for your report. Use a 'List' instead and you can free float objects as you need them and also nest a tablix as well. A little explanation on list:
You can float images with text boxes and then even change syntax or draw boxes around them and decorate those.
The call out for a field in SSRS is [(value)] with the [] meaning: "Data Column in recognized Dataset"
You can call out Variables with an '#' in front of them [#Test] would be a variable a user would put in called 'Test'.
Whatever size 'List' element is will determine how large it is when it repeats. If you want a strict form ensure the length and width are set correctly on the properties of that element.
If you want it to break every page you can click on the 'List' > Right Click the top left corner > Properties > 'Add a page break before' checkbox.
My example shows a super simple textbox with a dataset that only has three ideas repeat as many times as there are id's, three times. You can apply this to your form as needed.
It looks like you could reproduce that form header quite easily with a single tablix. If you envisage the form as a set of tablix cells like so:
then all you need to do is set the Border properties for each cell to hide the borders as needed (or you could merge the cells e.g those for Applicant and Location).
You can use a tablix with only Header rows, deleting the detail row. If you need multiple forms per report, then put the tablix inside a List region.
Hi I have been working on a large matrix which displays the results of a stored procuedre with date fields for the dynamic columns. Prior to the dynamic columns i have several other columns of identifiers for the data. The problem i have is when i try and add column headings (in the tableheading textbox) for the identifiers i need to use spaces to pad the text so that the heading appear in the correct place, this works fine in preview mode, but when i publish the report the final version always has the padding spaces removed. This results in the text all appearing in one bunch on the left of the matrix. I have tried using individual text boxes but these then appear after the Matrix and not over the appropriate columns. Does anyone have any other ideas i might try? Thanks Jon
It appears to be a rendering error with overlapping objects. By moving the text boxes so they do not overlap the matrix they appear fine.
