I'm looking for a way to get the first record on each page to be used on the page header or the table (Tablix) header.
For instance I'm looking to have something like "first(Fields!EmpName.Value, Global!PageNumber)" where each time the page changes the displayed name for the page changes.
Thanks
You need to use the ReportItems collection. This gives you access to rendered output.
First find the name of the textbox that contains the data you want to show from you tablix (e.g. EmpName). note: this may not be the same as the field name, its the textbox name property you need. By defalut it will be the same as the field name, just check.
Then in your page header, add a textbox and set the expression to
=FIRST(ReportItems!textboxname.Value)

Im trying to do group by Full name and have page breaks to separate each person to their own page. I want to have the specific persons (Provider Name) whos page were on information in cells (Not headers) at the start of every new page. Is there an expression that will pull the value of the current Row Group value for each page?
If you don;t already have a row group that groups by Provider Name then you'll need to add one. Then inside that group, add additional rows as required (this will be two rows in total looking at your design) and add the required data. Then go to the group's properties and set the page breaks to 'between each instance'.
This will force a page break on change of provider and include the group header.
I have a ssrs report server which generates reports, which I would like to embed into other pages.
I have found that I can embed the entire report in an iframe quite easily, but I would like to hide everything inside of this iframe except for the table I need. This requires setting an attribute in the table so that I can select it. Alternatively, retrieving the client ID of the table after the fact.
However, I have not been able to find a way to embed some kind of identifier into the tablix table such that it can be easily selected. Ideally I'd like to just add a name or id attribute to the table but this doesn't seem possible.
Is there some way around this?
I came across the same issue and use a report parameter as workaround. I created a new report parameter (under Available values > Specify values) with the following values:
'Label 'Value
=Tablix1 1
=Tablix2 2
Now at the tablix under Tablix properties > Visibility > Show or hide based on expression I added this expression:
=IIF(Parameters!ReportParamaterTablixChoice.Value = 1, True, False)
This tablix gets now only displayed if the user selects the value Tablix1 from the parameter. So basically you can see it as unique ID for different tablixes from which you can chose now.
Could someone please help me with configuring my access database? I would like to use a combo-box at the top of the form where the user selects from the available work forms (Column 1 in Table) and then it displays who is involved in the form. Currently it displays every field and to reduce to the information displayed I would like it to only display information if the cell has a value in it.
Am I using the wrong tool? Should I be using a Report instead? How's my table data, too much?
Many Thanks
My current form
My wanted result
The way I normally hide empty fields is to change the label for a field to a control and set the control source to the following:
=IIf([FieldName]<>'', "My label:", Null)
Then I set the CanShrink property on both the "label" and the field to Yes.
Finally I make sure the section it's in (typically the detail but you may have reason to use something other) also has CanShrink set to Yes.
When you stack the controls on top of each other in this manner you should get the result as you posted.
Note: this only works for reports or if you print the results of a form. If you do not intend to allow entry of data into the form it would be better served as a report.
I have a report object I export to PDF (which contains rows from a query), and I want to display an asterisk next to certain rows on the printed PDF (so they can reference a footnote I have in the footer of the report for additional context).
Is there a good way to do this? For example, I want an asterisk next to any row where SomeValue = 1.
Change your control source to
=IIf([yourColumn]=1,[yourColumn] & "*",[yourColumn])
Be sure that your textbox is not named the same as your column name. Access does this be default which is really annoying and breaks things like this. Change your textbox name to something like txtyourColumn
In my report I have Matrices that appear according to the parameters on a SP. Each Matrix holds an specific "code"/description which I want to show on the Page Header accordingly.
I tried using an <<Expr>> but that didn't work well as it only shows the first record of the database instead of the code for the specific matrix.
Then I found out that I can show an specific textbox with "=ReportItems!TextBoxXX.Value" and so I added to each Matrix the code value hidden.
Now I thought of adding in the page header inside a TextBox a concatenation of all the values, but that didn't work, and I got a:
"The value expression for the textrun "textboc11.Paragraphs[0].TextRuns[0]" refers to more than one report item. An expression in a page header or footer can refer to only one report item.
Hence, my next attempt consisted of adding separate text boxes each one with the desired TextBox Value and one behind the other (like a Pile of textboxes). Everything working now, except that the "space" that each textbox occupies appears in the report showing the desired value and a white space above each textbox when rendered.
Any ideas of how to prevent this behavior? Maybe creating an array with the textboxes and creating an IIF or I don't know, I've been searching for days and nothing seems like a good approach.
I hope someone can give me some advice and that I explained myself.
Thanks!
