I recently have a problem, in which I can not see newly added status reasons in my custom report.
I have created a report based on FilteredView in which status reason of opportunity must display.
It just show the original status reason ( canceled ), but the others I have created does not display.
I should display them in a chart, but they do not appear.
As administrator its OK, and I can see them.
But other users can not see.
What is wrong?
Should I put some security role somewhere?
Any help will be appreciated.
I have second language.
And that field did not translate into the second language, and that was the cause of this.
I export translation, edit that and import that.
Problem solved!

I have SSRS reports with date/time parameters which work fine.
Strange thing happens when I click date/time parameter's box while it's empty: dropdown list of unrelated text lines appears below the clicked box. Here's how it looks:
It appears in all reports with date/time parameters. In each report the values that appear are different.
In the Development Studio while previewing a report it doesn't happen at all.
The parameters are defined as usual in very simple manner.
Google search didn't help. :(
Can anyone give me a hint, please, what is it and how to get rid of it? SSRS version: 14.0.1016.232, MVS version 2015.
I looks to me like it could be the contents of your browsers 'type-ahead' or 'auto-complete' history.
The field name probably has the same name as another field that you've input data into, in the past.
Try using another browser and if that's OK trying clearing your browser history. If you are using Chrome it's part of the "Autofill" data.
You could follow this guide to removing specific entries if that's better in your scenario.

Does anyone know of a way to add an Excel icon somewhere more visible for the user to do an export without having to click on "Actions". Not sure if any of that is customizable?
Additionally, is there a way to create a drill-through report that renders in Excel. I was trying to figure out the RS:format stuff, but not sure how to use this.
I'm trying to make the report as user friendly as possible.
Thanks.
There certainly is, you can do an export using a URL as detailed in this MSDN article: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms154040.aspx.
All you need to do is set that as the action of an image you place on the report, and you have an export icon. The general format is:
http://myrshost/ReportServer?/myreport&rs:Format=Excel
The main item to note is that myrshost/ReportServer is not going to be the same address as you use when browsing through reports. Instead, it's probably going to be SERVERNAME/ReportServer_INSTANCENAME, filling in the name of your server and database instance respectively.
Edit: A more concrete example of what this would look like:
http://sqlhost/ReportServer_Report2016?/Rentals/Balance%20Overview&rs:Format=Excel
Im currently using SSRS-2008R2. I've an scenario where i have to maintain the External image as a logo for each reports we have. Not, only that, we have our custom date formats that what we should change according to the Date Type users define in an asp.net application.
There are lot of things we have to do on every report. Thats my problem.
Following is the one of them Im currently sharing as example :
Currently i maintain the following function for each reports i've:
Public Function GetLogoImage() As String
Dim ImageLogoURL As String
if Globals!ReportServerUrl is nothing then
ImageLogoURL = "http://localhost/ReportServer" + "?%2fImages%2fLogo"
else
ImageLogoURL = Globals!ReportServerUrl + "?%2fImages%2fLogo"
Return ImageLogoURL
End Function
I hope, i asked question clearly. Im newbie in SO.
Thank you in advance.
If you have a list of functions that you wish to apply to multiple reports and you're not willing to copy them to every single one of them, you can create an external library and then add it as a reference to every report.
This is quite simple to do and there's lot of documentation around the web.You can start here. You will, however, have to maintain this external library but if you have a lot of code, I personally think this is a much better solution.
If you want to have a predefined layout, you may want to consider having a master report and then include other reports as sub-report objects, but you'll lose some flexibility design wise.
Since the accepted answer is more of a comment and the link provided is broken, i'll provide my answer for people who might need a quick guide on how to use custom code in ssrs:
In Design view, right-click the design surface outside the border of the report and click Report Properties.
Click Code.
In Custom code, type the code. Errors in the code produce warnings when the report runs.
Once you press ok, to call the function that you saved you just need to right click on a cell, select "Expression" and paste in the following string: Code.GetLogoImage

I created a Shared Dataset in report builder 3.0 a week ago and stored in my "My Reports" folder on report server.I removed it the other day; however, when I go to create a new Dataset today...it's still listed as an option. When you attempt to select it from the list you receive an error message that it's no longer available. Below is the error which I am getting :
"The shared dataset cannot be loaded from the server".
Please help if anyone has faced a similar issue and know the reason for it. Thanks in Advance !!!
Ren is more or less correct, Report Builder is caching a list of items you've recently used. It does not bother to check if the items it's caching actually exist or not, which is why you're getting the error you do when you try to use one.
To clear the list, click the big icon in the top left (or alt + F), then click the Options button at the bottom of the dialog that appears.
In the options window you can clear your recent item lists, along with change some of the rules for how those are kept.
I don't believe there's any way to make Report Builder automatically remove broken/missing references
Full error from Preview window in Visual Studio '08 (BIDS): "An error occurred during local report processing. Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
There are no further errors/warnings detailed in the Error List or Output windows.
Background: On this report I am using a table to display a sub-report [x] number of times, dependant on the number of related objects that exist in the SQL database. That is to say that the sub-report is set within one of the cells (the only cell) of the table, in a row that repeats for each item returned in a dataset.
Removing the sub-report allows the master report to compile and run, so I feel the issue is related to the arrangement of the sub-report. If the sub-report only displays once, then the master report compiles and runs fine, it is only when a second instance is required that the issue arises.
When testing the sub-report separately, it compiles and runs when given the parameters for each instance it is being asked to render from the master report. So I can rule out the idea that the data for the second instance is causing it to fail (in some div-by-0 type way).
Given the lack of detail from the error and that the sub-report works on it's own, I do not understand why this is happening.
Does anyone have any ideas for debugging or suggested solutions?
Thanks
Brian
tldr: Master report fails when a sub-report repeats more than once.
I figured out a solution. The sub-report is being passed 4 parameters, one of these had a value referring to the value a table-cell on the master report. Changing this parameter to be the value of the expression that was setting that table-cell fixed the issue. I have no idea why this is a solution, but it is.
In more detail: [table_cell_a] had an expression computing it's value.
[parameter_a] for the sub report was set as "=ReportItems("[table_cell_a]").Value", when I changed the expression for [parameter_a] to mirror the expression for [table_cell_a], everything worked again.
This is messed up, and I can't even begin to understand why it behaves like this. If [table_cell_a] was not being computed before the calls were made to the sub-reports, I could understand. But if that was the case, how come the report worked when there was only one sub-report?
If anyone can provide an explanation, I would be most grateful.
Brian
Brian,
I'm having a similar issue with charts imbedded in a Tablix. I found this article that seems to address the issue, although I have not gotten the server upgraded yet to actually test it:

Hope that helps.

I was getting the similar error after changing the names of reports in my project even though I changed all the updated report names in the Action property.
An error occurred during local report processing. Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
I found a solution by running the dataset of linked report providing the parameter values manually.
I am not sure what difference it made by running the dataset of linked report manually but it solved my problem and I am no longer getting this error.
Thanks

Just sharing. In my case, it was not a sub-report. I had the same message when I was accessing a drill-through-report. Apparently, at the "Action: Go to report" > "Specify a report:", I have wrongly pasted the full name of the report with the extension. Removing the ".rdl" extension solved my problem.
Addendum: If the drill-through report name is part of an expression then the .rdl extension is necessary for it to work when hosted in SharePoint. That prevents it working in preview mode, as you've found. Solution is to code to avoid having to use an expression for the report name.
Copy the Dataset and Queries.
Create new report or copy paste Tablix to new report. You will not get the error again.
I had to remove the SubReport and add it again. Then it worked.
I had the same error when I changed the name of the report I drilled to. I did change the name in the action expression to the new name via the properties > Action > Go to Report > (...) > Expression, but that apparently didn't take. When I opened the text box > Properties dialog window instead of using the Properties pane, and changed the drilled to report name within that window, it solved my issue.
