I'm trying to create a report that returns it's value indented if it meets a certain criteria in an iif expression. Is there anyway to do this?
I'm not sure if you mean to have the data itself indented or if you want the row to indent for a certain value, but I have a solution for the former issue. There is a set of properties associated with textboxes that deal with indenting text. There is HangingIndent, LeftIndent, and RightIndent. If your data is aligned to the left, you can use either HangingIndent or LeftIndent.
You'll need to put the following expression in whichever indent you require based on the alignment of your data.
=IIF([your Condition here], "10pt", "0pt")
This will indent the data by 10pt if true and leave the data unindented if false. I tested it with a simple dataset that pulled an ID from 1-9 and set the HangingIndent property to indent if the ID was equal to 5.
=IIF(Fields!id.Value = "5", "10pt", "0pt")
Which yielded these results:

One of my columns has a value that looks like this -> "$5.95 (Park costs)"
and I need to display the value in column in SSRS report like this:
$5.95
(Park costs)
but font size of "(Park costs)" must be smaller than the price.
Is something like that even possible? To somehow make text that does not contain a number, dot or dollar sign smaller?
You can do this. You'll need to split up each component of the text column and then place each half in a placeholder. You can then format each placeholder individually.
This solution assumes that your column always contains a "(". If not you should be able to modify it to suit.
I Generated some test data and and placed it in a normal table (tablix) control.
I then added some new columns for testing that each part was working as expected.
The expression for "Cost" column is
=TRIM(LEFT(Fields!MyColumn.Value,InStr(Fields!MyColumn.Value, "(") -1))
The expression for the "Caption" column is
=TRIM(RIGHT(Fields!MyColumn.Value, LEN(Fields!MyColumn.Value) - InStr(Fields!MyColumn.Value, "(") + 1))
Once this was working OK I added the "Final Column".
To add a placeholder, click inside the textbox so the cursor appears then right-click and choose "Create Placeholder"
I added two placeholders with a space between then and set the values to the expressions above respectively. I then right clicked the placeholders chose "Placeholder Properties" and formatted each individually.
The final output looks like this. (I left the test columns in for clarity)
I am facing problem in SSRS report for showing sequense numbers as given in image.
when I searched for this issue I got solution as -- RowNumber("DataSetName")
but problem with this is, it generate numbers like 1,2,3..., but I want these numbers in following forms- 1.1, 1.2 or 1.1.1, 1.2.1.
And another problem for me is above function will work if I am having multiple rows in dataset and that dataset is bind with table to show its data, but In my case I am getting all data in single row and out of that I am showing values in textbox using expressions and if that value is empty I am hiding that textbox.
so I am not getting any solution to show sequence number in textbox along with text and how I can rearrenge that numbers if my inbetween textbox is hidden because of no data.
Please provide me solution for above probem.
Image for reference -
Example of data is :
From above table values from "Subheading1" And "Subheading2" will show inside "Heading first" and "Subheading3" And "Subheading4" will show inside "Heading second".
You can concatenate row numbers as strings as follows:
=RowNumber("HEADING") & "." & RowNumber("SUBHEADING")
To ensure numbers are consecutive remove the relevant rows in the source dataset instead of hiding them in the tablix.
In SSRS I want to indent certain rows when they start with e.g. 'aa'. See this example:
What is the best practice in this case? As I don't have a parent-child situation here (to use recursive hierarchy group), do I have an option e.g. via the properties to set something like an IIf to solve this? If yes, could you please provide some information where to set this?
Every info is welcome! I'm new to SSRS.
This is simple to do...
Click on the cell that you want to indent.
In the properties panel, expand the Indent properties and then click the drop-down in the Left Indent property and choose Expression.
Then set the expressions to something like
=SWITCH (
LEFT(Fields!FieldIwantToCheck.Value, 2) = "aa", "10pt",
LEFT(Fields!FieldIwantToCheck.Value, 2) = "bb", "30pt",
True, "0pt"
)
You could do this with an IIF expression but if you need to make it more flexible than 1 or two cases then SWITCH is much easier to read/manage.
All we are doing here is checking the left 2 characteras of the FieldIwantToCheck field and setting an indent value respectivley. If none of the criteria match, the final True, Nothing acts like an ELSE and leaves the property as the default Nothing value.
Has anyone used LineThrough text on Microsoft Report Designer within the expression value?
Example:
=Switch(Fields!a.Value is Nothing, "text here".LineThrough, Not(Fields!a.Value is Nothing), CStr(Fields!a.Value))
I need the "text here" to be strikethrough if a.Value is nothing.
You need to use an expression to show the value you want and then Harry's answer to set the LineThrough.
You can simplify your SWITCH statement for the value like this..
=SWITCH(
Fields!a.Value Is Nothing, "Text Here",
True, Fields!a.Value)
or if the expression will not get any more complex than you have then use IIF
=IIF(Fields!a.Value Is Nothing, "Text Here", Fields!a.Value)
If you need only part of the textbox then the easiest way is to use placeholders. These act almost the same way as a textbox but you can have several placeholders in a single cell/textbox each with it's own properties.
To add a placeholder click the cell/textbox first to get focus then right-click before or after any existing text/placeholders. Select Insert placeholder and set the expression as you wish, you can also format the placeholders font/color/decoration etc.
As an example I've got a small dataset with country names. If the country contains the word "Island" then I show different text and change the text decoration on one of the place holders. In the design you can see there are 3 placeholders, some text then a field then some more text.
When I run this I get the following output.
I've set strike thru on the countrydesc field placeholder but you can do the same on a text placeholder. You still have to do it in two parts, and expression to set the text value and an expression in the placeholders font properties to set LineThrough
You can set the condition on the Font/ TextDecoration on the selected report Item. There is an option for LineThrough.
For Example
=iif(reportitems!Textbox7.Value = "Cartons","LineThrough","Default")
I have a table that contains metric data for various business units in our organization. There is one column that contains the KPI measurments. I've created a report to display each business units KPI's. Some of the metrics need to be displayed as whole numbers, others need to be displayed as percentages.
I created an expression to handle the multiple formats. The problem I'm having is with the percentages. For example one of the numbers (which should be displayed as 93.74%) appears as 939474%. If I remove the expression and set the format to percentage using the text box properties, the number displays as 93.74%.
Here is the expression I'm using:
= IIF(Fields!KPI_desc.Value like "*Rate",
Format(Fields!Value.Value,"0.00%"),"0")
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you
I guess you put this into the Format Expression so that it will return the result like integer. Actually you just need to put this expression into textbox directly.
= IIF(Fields!KPI_desc.Value like "*Rate", FormatPercent(Fields!Value.Value,2),"0")
