I am writing a SSRS report that includes a list of names and their phone numbers. I was wondering if it was possible to make the phone numbers that appear in the report tablix clickable so that they can be skyped by the user - similar to how URLs can be.
Thanks in advance
Right click on your textbox and on placeholder properties and set it to HTML
Set your textbox expression to an html link like the expression below
="<a href='tel:123-456-7890'>123-456-7890</a>"
This will create a telephone link.
In order to test the link, you have to deploy the report and test it through a browser

My clients have upwards of 40 reports with very similar parameters. These are hosted on SharePoint, but are consumed by users through a web application, and so when a report is selected and the parameters are shown, the report's title is lost. My clients are irritated that they don't know, from the parameters page, which report is being displayed (many have very similar names and they are selected from a grid, and so mis-clicking is an issue)
Is there some trick to showing the report title on the parameters page?
Thanks
Edward
I will suggest to add an additional parameter and show the report name in that.
Some points to highlight in your question.
First, I don't know any trick for showing the title in the parameter pane, as a matter of fact, I don't believe it does exist. Showing it as a parameter is something that I wouldn't do as a solution for a customer.
Second, not showing the little line with the report's path is something that can be chosen when invoking the report (by means of url, see links below) and if they are accessing through another web application, this should be the one taking care of this matter. Note that if you show the url or the little line with the path, you can compromise security (access will depend on folders setup, but you leave a door open). This web application should know what is it showing and should display the right name (any the actual report's name or a custom name within the web app). This is what happens when you embed SSRS reports using a browser in an external app.
Third, the report itself should have a title displayed once the report is executed.
As a summary, I don't believe this issue's solution is under SSRS management/development scope.

As you can see, there are lots of things that you can do playing around with the url, such as:
Pass parameters
Hide path pane
Hide parameters pane
Render format, you can call an url asking for an excel or pdf render and you get the download dialog for the file.
Hope this helps.
I've created a hyperlink control on a form page in an Access 2013 App hosted in SharePoint 2013, and want the text to display the same text ("Print Timesheet") while the actual link itself varies based on the value of a field in the record. This is so that I can link to a separate application using a query string with the individual record ID, which gets the data directly from the azure database and formats it in order to be printed out.
I've tried a macro expression to create the link address that runs "on current" and sets the value of the hyperlink, and also tried a computed column in the table to create the link which I pass to the hyperlink control value. I've set the "Default Display Text" on the hyperlink control to "Print Timesheet" in both cases.
The problem I have is that whichever way I try it, changing the value on the fly like this overrides the default display text of the hyperlink so that it displays the address itself rather than the text I want to display.
Is there any way round this?
Thanks,
Duncan
I am not sure if you got your answers. I was randomly looking on internet and found your query.
I thought the thread Troubles with Hyperlink control in Access Web App forms may have your answer.

If you have to build a url field dynamically, the basic syntax is
displaytext#url#
so, in my dynamic field....
=Concat("Click here#/relative/path/on/my/sharepointsite/allitems.aspx&ID=",[ID],"#")
....
You could use a label on the form to represent the link. Have the Label.Caption property set to "Print Timesheet" and use the On Current event to set the Label.HyperlinkAddress property to whatever the address from the recordsource is.
I am working on a report that has variable coulmns and the report looks fine in preview.
But now I want to add a "Hazardous Notice" like a report footer but via using subreport.
And this Notice will be only having TEXT in it (no columns and rows)
I am able to drag the subreport from the tools beneath my main Matrix, but I am really confused that how can I get only TEXT in that HAZARDOUS NOTICE.. as it asks me to add parameters in it. Do I need to create a Parameter for that or not.. Please Help!!!
Im creating a report in RS2008.
Everytime I create a textbox and write an expression, instead of watching the expression text after I change focus of the element I get the following tag: <<Expr>>.
I'm used to creating reports on RS2005 and if in a textbox I wrote ="Hello", for example, once I change focus it will display ="Hello" not <<Expr>>.
Its probably a setting but I can't find how to change it.
I don't think you can change this - it's by design in SSRS 2008.
I would say the reasoning behind it is that you can now have multiple placeholders in one Textbox and it's easier to represent with multiple <<Expr>> values:
For text and basic field values, these will not have <<Expr>> displayed.
If you change basic text from ="Hello" to just Hello that's what will be displayed in the designer:
And an expression like =Fields!val1.Value will be displayed like this in the designer:
It's jarring at first but you get used to it.
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.
