I have a table called Item in Microsot Dynamics (NAV).
One of the requirement is to display a picture that is attached to the item.
The SQL datatype of this field is "uniqueidentifier".
However, when looking at the development environment for dynamics, I see the following:
How do I retrieve and show this image in an SSRS report please?
For any one looking at this. Navision Dynamics stores images as Mediasets.
These references are stored in the [Tenant Media Set] table and the actual image is in the [Tenant Media Thumbnails] table.
The images are stored as a BLOB . To be able to display these in an SSRS report, you need to ensure that the Compression is set to NO on the field that holds the image. Field name is [Content]
Here is the SQL Query :
SELECT ID, [Media ID], [Content], [Mime Type], Height, Width
FROM [Tenant Media Thumbnails]
You can them simply display this field in the report by applying the following properties to an Image

I am running access 2013, with a linked view from SQL Server 2008 R2. I have two fields that I want to sum and data types are:
SQL Server 2008: Decimal(10,2)
Access: Number
They are being formatted in my query to currency using this syntax:
cf1: Format([calcfield1],"Currency")
cf2: Format([calcfield2],"Currency")
I have a report with both of these fields bound to text boxes and am adding a 3rd textbox to SUM() them. This is the control source syntax I input to SUM() the fields:
Name: SumOfFields
Control Source: =Sum([cf1]+[cf2])
Now when I attempt to view the access 2013 form, I get the error message displayed below. What do I need to change in order to perform this calculation on my report?
EDIT
If it makes a difference one cf1 is in the Serial Header section of my report, and the field cf2 is in the Details section of my report, and can have multiple entries. I want the SUM() that I am trying to add to be added to the Details section of the report like below:
Serial Header
$22.40
Details
$10.00
$13.40
$10.20
$56.00
Check out the link here it may help. A few things come to mind to check, but with the limited info this is the best I can do...
1) One of the fields is in a custom header which would mean that the total you are attempting to add needs to be in the custom footer
2) You need to place the total in the footer of the report

I agree with #user2676140 - the total should appear in the group footer and should probably look something like:
=[cf1] + Sum([cf2])
If this doesn't work then I would try taking the Format wrapper off [cf1] and [cf2] and use the controls' properties to format them as Currency. Then maybe have the ControlSource for SumOfFields as
=[calcfield1] + Sum([calcfield2])
Again, use the properties of SumOfField to set the format.

I have a multivalue parameter in a report and I would like to make it the source of a table. Is there a way to accomplish this? I'm coming to the conclusion that one cannot make the data source of a table anything except a dataset.
I tried to make the multivalued dataset (source of parameter) filtered by parameter but that gives a forward reference error (makes sense).
I am now trying to set the visibility property on the table's single text box like this, so it will only make the values visible that are one of the chosen parameter values:
=IIF(Fields!MODALITY.Value = Join(Parameters!Modalities.Value,","),True,False)
but they are all shown (alway true?). Any ideas on how to show a list of the values picked from a multi valued parameter in the report as a table (not just a delimited string in a text box)?
The data source of a table will always be a dataset, but you can use the parameters in a dataset. Something like
select * from dbo.split3(#parameter)
where split3 is a csv to table function, like one found on http://blogs.msdn.com/b/amitjet/archive/2009/12/11/sql-server-comma-separated-string-to-table.aspx
I found an expression that works for changing visibility so that my table shows just the elements in the multivalue parameter that were selected. Perhaps there's an easier way.
=IIF(Instr(","+Join(Parameters!Modalities.Value,",")+",",","+Fields!MODALITY.Value+",") <> 0,False,True)
I am trying to display image from database in my SSRS report. The report has two datasets.
For all text boxes etc. I have added value expression as below:
=First(Fields!Branding4Tx.Value, "dsPrintOData_tblProdOrders")
But when I do this in the value field of image box, it return an error.
=Fields!ProdImage1.Value, "dsPrintOData_tblProdOrders"
If I just put =Fields!ProdImage1.Value
it does not return error but does not display any image too.
Please advise.
Thanks
It depends on the value in the ProdImage1 field. If it is a VARBINARY(MAX) data type value, then we can select Database as the image Source. If it is a string of the image URL, then we should select External as the image Source.

I have a question on SQL Server Reporting Services. In fact, I want to know about how to make a particular logic work.
I have a main report which has one sub-report inside it. The report takes an input parameter test_id and accordingly displays the data in tabular form.
When the test_id has a valid value that's matching, it displays the data.
But, when test_id doesn't have a valid value and hence it doesn't match, I get the empty table as below.
TESTNAME TESTDETAIL
Sub-report
TESTPARENTID PARENT DETAILS
I want to know how to display a message "No details found for the test_id" INSTEAD of displaying any empty tables. Only title and subtitle should display.
Objects like Tablix in SSRS have a property NoRowsMessage.
You can set this to display a message if there are zero rows.
Another option is to go into the tablix properties. Under Visibility, select Show or hide based on an expression. You can write an expression here to hide the entire tablix. Just change the name of the field to match yours:
=iif(Count(Field1)=0,True,False)
I have a report created in SSRS in client mode, which is run disconnected: I create the data source in code and pass to the report as a DataView. It works ok.
But I need to be able to reference from the project to some objects (variables, whatever) from my application, as follows:
I need some totals that are not calculated based on data in report. e.g. the reports show total sales in a period, with own total, but I need to display a field in report footer - previous month total (actually they are about 10 other "previous" totals).
I need to have some columns show / hide based on some settings in the application (e.g. I have application option : Show Previous month sales)
Any thoughts on how to do this?
Thank you
Q1-> In order to use data in your reports, you need to specify the data inside of a Datasource object. You cannot simply use the variables if that is what your intentions were. So yes, you are doing this the right way. *** Sorry, you could theoretically used Report Parameters for this.
Q2-> This is the real reason to use Report Parameters. You can pass parameters to the report to do exactly this. If the HideColumn parameter (for example) is set to true, you could hide all the columns that need to be hidden.

For question 1 - the data - the easiest approach would be to create a DataTable in memory and add it as another dataset OR to add fields for your original dataview that contain these values.
Question 2 - To hide or show the columns based on settings make the column visibility an expression based on the value of a parameter, in your code behind set the parameter value to your application setting.
