I have a master table with a list of products where I have a textbox with Action set to Go to Bookmark. The Bookmark is set to date. Then I have details matrix which is grouped by date. Each group starts on the new page and it has PageName set to a date. Everything looks fine. But navigation to Bookmarks is not working in Preview or Excel export. Any idea why?

We have an SSRS report which takes customerID as a parameter, and we would like to print out a report for each of the customers on the Customer dropdown list. However, there are a few hundreds of customers on the list, and we are not able to go through each one manually. Is there a way to have the report automatically go through the customer dropdown list and generate a report for each customer, so we can print out the report all at once on our end?
You can do this a few ways. As you already have a report that does a single customer then it will be easy to use this as a sub report.
Note that this, as with most options, will give you a single report containing everything, it will not give you actual individual reports..
So, Create a new report. Create a dataset (say dsCustomers) that contains a list of CustomerID's that you need to report from. This dataset could be a simple query such as SELECT CustomerID FROM myCustomersTable for exmaple.
Now add a table to your report and set it's dataset property to dsCustomers.
Remove the header row from the table as we don't need this and remove all but one column so you tablix is just a single textbox. Make this textbox wide (it's doesn't really matter how wide, it's just to make things easier to see)
Now in the remaining textbox, right-click and choose "Insert => Subreport"
Right-click the subreport placeholder and choose "properties"
Now set the subreport to your original report.
In the parameters section add a parameter entry for your subreport's parameter. Assuming the subreport takes a parameter called CustID then select CustID from the drop down. On hte right side, the parameter value, set this to the name of your dsCustomers dataset field (in this example it would be CustomerID)
That's it...
Now when you run the report, the tablix will produce 1 row per CustomerID,, each 'row' will contain the subreport.
You will probably want to set page breaks on the rowgroup too so each customer starts on a new page.
I need to create student certificate using SSRS. I created new .rdl file did designed and associated with data source.
It works for single student as expected. But it does not creates report with multiple certificate while my data source returns multiple student details.
I am new for SSRS, please help me out to achieve this.
If you want to generate a certificate for each row of your dataset in the same report, you can do this with a tablix:
Add a Tablix to you your report that lists your dataset data
Drag a Rectangle into one of the Details row cells
Make the cell you dragged the Rectangle into large enough to hold all your
certificate report items
Select all your certificate items and move them into the Rectangle
Update any references to your dataset to not include a 'scope'
ie: Change =sum(Fields!ColName.Value, "Your Dataset") to =sum(Fields!ColName.Value)
Run the report
You should now have a certificate for each row in your dataset.
If you want to export multiple separate certificates, you will need to set up a data driven subscription on your report, that runs it once for each row of a returned dataset. Obviously you will need to adjust your report to be able to receive which student to generate the certificate for as a parameter.
Another way is.. if your data set is returning one row per student, then all you need to do you on your tablix is to add a parent row group.. group on StudentID.. or something unique per record.. go to group properties and add a page break at end of group. This should generate one certificate page per student..
You may need to adjust group headings and footer and things like that appear.. You will figure it out... alternatively.. watch a youtube video on how to do a basic ssrs report.
I have a subreport call StudentSub.rdl. This is linked with DataSet (stored procedure) Sp_GetStudentName(#ClassNo int). This works fine it gives always only one certificate.
Since I wanted to generate class wise certifiacte, in that case I wanted to get muliple report page wise in one PDF file. Followed below steps:
Created new RDL file called StudentReports.rdl
Linked with same data set stored procedure Sp_GetStudentName.
Drag a table from tool box to design body.
Set visibility False for table Header and some columns except one td.
Right clicked in that box (td) and inserted sub report
Right clicked sub report properties selected StudentSub subreport.
In the sub report properties added parameter ClassNo then clicked Ok.
Now When I am previewing this StudentReports by passing class no. I am getting correct number of pages.
Hope this will help others.
Thanks!
I've created many SSRS reports with multiple tabs, and am able to name the tabs at will using the page break/page name section of the properties window for a given tablix.
What I'm trying to solve for now, and can't find any good answers on the web for, is to create new tabs based on the result of my dataset.
The simplest example of which would be a new tab for each year of data, so now that we are in 2017 I would expect the report to add in a new tab for 2017 data (this is just a hypothetical example).
Is this possible in SSRS-2014, or do I have to settle for manual updates/additions every time I want a new tab?
You can do this. What you need to do is put the controls in the body of your report into a List control. In the Details group properties of that List control, group by year and set it up to page break between each group.
The basic steps are in the answer here below.
Create a new report with an empty body.
Add the Data Source(s), Parameter(s), and Dataset(s) that are needed. Make sure to include Year in your main dataset.
Add a List object to the body. Drag and drop it into the body from the Toolbox.
Set the Dataset for the list to the main data that has the year in it.
In the Row Groups pane of the Visual Studio report designer, right click on the Details row, and choose Group Properties. On the General page, click the Add button under Group expressions, choose Year from the Group on dropdown. This assumes you are getting this in the data.
While in the same dialog, go to the Page Breaks page and check the Between each instance of a group option. Click OK.
Add a Tablix inside the List. This is what will show your data.
Add some fields to the Tablix.
Run the report.
If your data returned information across more than one year, upon export to Excel, you will have one sheet for each year.
To set the sheet labels, you set the PageName property on the List detail properties pane.
Click the List control
In the Row Groups pane of the Visual Studio report designer, click on the Details row
Find the Page Name property in the Properties Pane, and set the expression to the Year value from the dataset =Fields!Year.Value
Now the sheets should be labeled with the year.
Per alejandro zuleta's comment, Set the desired group properties to page break between each instance of the group, when the report renders to excel it should interpret this as a sheet break.
If your group is dynamic, so too will the number of sheets.
You may also consider having a nested table (one table inside the other) where the "parent" table has no header and a single group (and cell) that controls your pagination. for instance; in your hypothetical, you could set the grouping to be something like =YEAR(fields!date.Value). then the "child" table contains the headers and groups that make up the report.
Let's say I have the following data:
In my SSRS report I have a parameter that prompts for MainID.
Now If I put MainID as 1, I should get one report. If I put MainID as 6, I should get 3 reports. Is there a way I can generate these reports dynamically using SSRS? Thanks.
I would approach this by creating a report that uses a List control, and has a page break between each item that you use to group by within that List. One report, a different page for each item of interest, SubID in this case.
Create a new report with an empty body.
Add the Data Source(s), Parameter(s), and Dataset(s) that are needed.
Add a List object to the body. Drag and drop it into the body from the Toolbox.
Set the Dataset for the list to the one you are using to return the data you have listed in your question.
In the Row Groups pane of the Visual Studio report designer, right click on the Details row, and choose Group Properties. On the General page, click the Add button under Group expressions, choose SubID from the Group on dropdown.
While in the same dialog, go to the Page Breaks page and check the Between each instance of a group option. Click OK.
Add a Tablix inside the List. This is what will show your data.
Add some fields to the Tablix. Add Detail and Notes, for no good reason on my part.
Run the report. If you have setup the data source and data set to properly run and filter base on your parameters, you should see something. Maybe an empty report.
Now (based on the data you provided), if you choose 1 for your MainID parameter, the report will display one page, but if you choose 6, you will get 3 page3, or however many records there are related to the parameter value for MainID in the database.
One report, multiple pages depending on the parameter/data. It's not a 3 different reports solutions, but something that could work for your situation.
I have the requirement to generate chart in SSRS 2008 and clicking on specific region of chart I need to generate sub report. I am already done with pie chart and the report but not able to generate the sub-report dynamically
I need to generate different reports when I click on different bars in bar graph
can anyone help with that
A Subreport is a report already embedded in the report.
I think what you want is actually a Drill Through report where you click on an item and a new report pops up showing you the detail of whatever data you just clicked on.
You'll need to create a new report with a table. If your query has the detail you need, you can re-use the same query otherwise you need to create a query to show the detail you want.
You'll need to a parameter to filter for the value you select from your chart. Your chart says Emp_ID but I am guessing that's just a count and you really want the text from the X axis (i.e. Deliver Client projects... ) - your employee's Experience.
When you've created the drill through report with the parameter for the field, go back to the main report and add an ACTION. Specify your new drill through report, Add the parameter by selecting it in the Name drop down and select the field you want to get the value from (the category Group field from the bar chart).
Now when you click on a bar, your new subreport will open with the detail filtered by the field you click on. If you click on the bar for Delivered Client Projects and proficient, your new report with a table of the 31 employees will appear.

You need to have already made the sub-reports and set your chart elements to load that report on their click through properties - You cannot simply generate a report by clicking on a report element.
If you want to go to different reports depending on data behind the pie chart section that is clicked on, you can set that up either in your original dataset with a column for which report to load or you can add a switch statement in the expression for the address of the report to load. To handle your parameters, this is probably easiest done with URL addressing.
