I have a report with 4 subreports. On one of the subreports I have an Image-control.
The Image-control needs to be placed on the report according to a calculated value.
This works fine when previewing the report. Troubles comes when trying to print it.
"A custom macro in this report has failed to run, and is preventing the report from rendering."
This is the code I have placed in subreports Detail event, on Print event:
Me.imgMarker.Left = ((valGradient * 0.181) - ((Me.imgMarker.Width / conTwips) / 2)) * conTwips
Me.imgMarker.Top = 19.5 * conTwips
But a simple Me.imgMarker.Visible = True does the same thing.
All subreports are placed in the MainReports Detail section.

I'm using Visual Studio 2019 with SSDT(SQL Server Data Tools) and "Microsoft Reporting Services Projects" to create a SSRS Report. In this Report I have several Subreports to show detail information.
It can happen that one of the subreports shows no additional data. In this case I still want the structure of the Subreport to be shown, like this (table structure with thinner Bordes is the Subreport):
But when I switch to another page and back to this page of the Report, the structure is gone:
This seems to be the case, when there is no information in the Subreport.
There are no visibility properties set, neither in the Subreport nor in the "parent"-Report, so everything should be visible all the time.
Yes it will happen because your sub report does not return anything and hence the blank.
For Testing just try running one of your sub report only (without main report) with parameter which does not return data and you will see your sub report page is completely empty
Now how to solve this issue:
For your sub report:
I would add static table (without datasets) and add it on top of your tablix.
I will add visibility rule to this static table to show only when your datasets does not return data. so that this static is visible only when original subreport data is not available, else you have your subreport data been shown.
This happend because SSRS think should hide the subreport since all the dataset are empty (or the only one you have) so to avoid that in your subreport just add a new dataset with
'select 1 as one'
that will do the job
I have a report in MS Access 16 with a chart in the Report Footer. The chart and the report have the same data source - a query ("Pipeline Query"). One of the criteria in Pipeline Query refers to a Combo Box on a form (Qtr = forms![Main Form]![Choose_Pipeline]).
The report and the chart at the bottom look great, however I get a popup saying
"The Microsoft Access database engine does not recognize 'forms![Main
Form]!Choose_Pipeline' as a valid field name or expression."
To fix that, I set a Parameter on the query for forms![Main Menu]![Choose_Pipeline]. This does eliminate the error message, but now the chart is blank! The query still returns the correct data and the data sections of the report work just fine.
Is there something with query parameters that interfere with charts in reports? Is there a workaround?
Update: When I wrote this I could have sworn the chart looked fine if the form reference was in the criteria but not the parameter. Now I can't replicate that and any time the query is dynamic and refers to the form at all, the chart is blank.
I have a SSRS 2005 report with 4 sub reports embedded.I have a situation where when all the sub reports have empty data the main report is still getting displayed . The main report has a header with header name coming from main data set,so i am getting only report header with empty page.I am using data driven email subscription to deliver the report.
Is there any way wherein the whole main report can be suppressed when all the sub reports has no data either during report generation stage or while rendering the reports by email subscription or in any other way?
Put the 4 sub reports inside a List container. Tie the list container to a new dataset you create that will return either one row if there is going to be data in the 4 subreports, or no rows if there will be no data. Set the no data returned behavior of the List to whatever you want.
We are in the process of updating from the SSRS package in SQL 2005 to SQL 2012. SSRS seems to work fine, even with the original report model, but none of the reports we create have clickthrough functionality. Even if the entities are linked in the report model, the table simply doesn't have any clickthrough links. The older reports carried over from the SQL 2005 SSRS do still have the functionality however.
We are using the enterprise version of SQL, which claims to have the feature. Is there a manner in which I need to turn it on?
Clickthrough doesn't only matter on the underlying reporting server's capability which supplies the data, but also if the report designer application (in our case Report Builder 3.0) support it too.
#djangojazz is using SSDS (successor of BIDS) in his solution, and it also requires cubes. I think #ChargerIIC wanted to use Report Builder. It seems that Report Builder 3.0 is not a successor of Report Builder 1.0 in all respects. Particularly this clickthrough feature may be a difference.
See Report Builder 3.0 FAQ: http://download.microsoft.com/download/7/F/D/7FDAA75C-1273-4DFE-8EC6-D9699C3EE47F/SQL_Server_2008_R2_Report_Builder_3_0FAQs.docx
See the question: "What are the key differences between Report Builder 1.0 and Report Builder 3.0?". The last row in the answer table is crossed out, but it says that 1.0 support infinite click through, while 3.0 is manual.
"Q. Is this a replacement for Report Builder 1.0?
A. Not for this release. It does replace Report Builder 2.0 but there is still some additional functionality from Report Builder 1.0 that did not make it into this release that has been prioritized for a future release."
To set up a drill through report for a master report you must have two reports. For the sake of simplicity I will keep my example super simple. Let's start with the drill through report as that is the lowest level. For both examples assumple you are using a Shared Data Source you make up. This is written with instructions for 2012 Business Intelligence Development Studio assuming you are in a Report Solution for SSRS and a working SSRS Project. You get to this with All Programs > Microsoft SQL Server 2012 > SQL Server Data Tools (Once you open it, it will be called Business Intelligence).
Create a new 'Item' for a blank report and call it 'SubReport'
Open up 'Report Data' and add your Shared Data Source
Right Click 'Parameters' and 'Add Parameter'. Add a simple text parameter and call it 'Prompt'.
Open the 'Toolbox' and drag a text box onto the surface.
Type in 'Hello from [#Prompt]'. You can test the report in 'Preview' mode and see that you can pass whatever text string you want to it to get a value.
Now for the master report, repeat steps 1 and 2 but call the report 'MasterReport'
Add a 'DataSet' by right clicking the 'DataSource' you just created and click 'Add DataSet'. For example I will just create a super simple set I call 'People'
DECLARE #Person TABLE (person varchar(8)); INSERT INTO #Person
VALUES ('Brett'), ('Sean'), ('Chad'), ('Michael');
SELECT TOP 100 *
FROM #Person p
Now go to the 'Toolbox' and drag and drop a 'Table' element onto the report.
Click on the most left 'Data' cell of the 'Table' you just dropped and hover over it and select the little box that appears in the upper right and you should see a column named 'person' that matches my dataset above. Select that and the cell and header will now be populated.
Now for the real magic to actually happen.
A. Right click the cell you just created and 'Text Box Properties'.
B. Select 'Action' on the left pane.
C. Choose the radio button 'Go to Report'. (More options now appear)
D. Under 'Specify a report:' select the dropdown for the value 'SubReport'
E. Under 'Use these parameters to run the report:' click 'Add'
F. Under 'Name' you will see the parameter name 'Prompt' from the report we created in step 3
G. Under 'Value' select '[person]' which is from the dataset we created in this report in step 7.
Preview the report and now when you 'hover over' values in the table a pointer appears. When you click on a cell you DRILL THROUGH to the other report in a new screen.
I hope this helps, the important thing to keep in mind is that you can isolate your logic to seperate the two reports as distinct entitites that are loosely coupled by passing values from one to the other. You can make the parameters hidden, make more of them, you can nest the report inside of your cell if you like, etc.
I have 5 reports, which I need to render on seperate pages of an Excel Workbook, so I have created a Master report and intend to call them as subreports. This works perfectly, but the problem is that I need to control the name of each worksheet, and I believe that the trick here is to use a rectangle, and set the PageName property to the desired name of the worksheet.
The issue is, that as soon as I place the subreports inside a rectangle and add a Page Break or a PageName, when I run the master report, I get an error saying One or more parameters were not specified for subreport _____
The same thing happens if I put the sub report inside a list.
How do I either pass the parameters in via a rectangle, or name the worksheets without the use of a rectangle?
I am using SSRS 2008R2
I have got to the bottom of this, and it appears to be the most bizarre SSRS bug. Once you move the subreport inside a list or rectangle and add a Page Break, SSRS flips the date format of the date parameters, and hence you end up passing in values that SSRS does not recognise as dates.
Even more obscure, If you pass flip the date values so that the report succeeds, the next time you run it, SSRS flips them back the other way, and then then they stay flipped that way until you exit the report.
Go back into the report and repeat the steps above once more. I will raise this on Microsoft Connect.
