I want to eliminate page number value from the report only when tries to generate CSV file. But also we need that page number display when tries to generate pdf. Can anyone help me through this.
Crystal Report Verion:13.0.2000.0
One option you could use to achieve this would be to create a parameter fields that asks the user if they want page numbers on the report each time the report is run. You can also include text that helps indicate not having page numbers is recommended for CSV file exports of the report.
The parameter field should provide an option for the user to choose Yes or No. You can default the answer to one of the two values to help speed up parameter value selection at run-time.
Then you use this parameter to control the Suppress property of the page number fields.
If you need help with setting up the parameter or the formula for the Suppress property, let me know in a comment and I can update this answer with more detail.

I have a Report which includes an optional table. This has its visibility controlled by a user parameter.
When exporting to CSV file the hidden data gets included when it shouldn't.
How do I prevent it from being exported?
Thanks
I know this was not the expected behavior, but it is by design. In terms of a workaround, one option would be to use subreports instead of just tables. For example, you could have a main report that lists the parameter values in a table. Each one would have an Action that takes you to the appropriate subreport when you click on it. The expression for the Action can be a conditional statement to accommodate future changes in the values. Then you could easily export without worrying about visibility.
First I would like to apologise for any mistake and misuse of the english language as it is not my natural language.
I built a few reports using SSRS. Each one are feeded through different stored procedures.
Each stored procedures has two parameters: id and date. When I display the report the parameter I only want to be visible the date that will be supplied by the user. The id should be hidden and with the default value of 1. So, I turned the parameter id to hidden and set up a default value with the value 1. Im setting the default value on a report's definition level instead on the datasets used to feed the reports. PLease see below the steps I have done:

I've been through some websites(stackoverflow included) and I've seen similar issues. I followed the suggested tips but still no success.
Any help on this will be very appreciated.
Thanks
P.S. Im using VS2015 to design the reports and SQl Server 2014.
Without knowing more, my first instinct suggests that you have your parameters ordered incorrectly. If you have a parameter, P2, with a default value that is processed after a parameter without a default value, P1, and both parameters are hidden, then the report will fail citing that P1 is missing a value.
See my screenshot below as an example. You need to make sure that the parameters are loaded in the order, vertically, that they should be processed, especially if one parameter is dependent on another. Take a look at the ordering and leave a comment if you need further information.

Try opening the report manager via the Report Server web interface (http://[serverName]/[instanceName - reports is default]/Pages/Folder.aspx?ItemPath=/[directoryOfReport]). Click on the dropdown list beside the report name and choose manage. Check out the parameters tab and make sure the default is set properly. Sometimes, if you've messed with parameter properties numerous times in BIDS or report builder, the settings won't translate onto the server itself. Let me know if that fixes it.
I have created one report in SSRS-2012. I need to show/hide(not inactive) one parameter based on one formula. Is it possible. I am using Visual studio 2010 for my front-end development and report viewer control for showing the report.
Help me please
Currently there is no way to dinamically hide parameters in SSRS. Depending on your requeriments you may have two ways to handle this issue.
Create one subreport for all parameters and another subreport that does not include the parameter you want to hide, then show dinamically the subreport to the user based on your expression.
Other option is have another parameter set as internal. And conditionally populate that parameter based on your expression. If your condition yields true, populate the parameter with the user selection, otherwise use a default value or populate it to null. At presentation level your parameter keeps appearing but the user selection will take effect only based on your expression.
I think the second option is easier, let me know if you need further help.
I have a report ("rptEstimate") used as part of a larger program that runs in Access. This report has a text field, with the expression =Nz([txtTaxTotal],0)+Nz([txtSubTotal],0). Where can I find the value for txtTaxTotal and txtSubTotal? Is there some way to see which tables are linked to a specific report?
I'm looking to export those values to a spreadsheet, probably via Excel VBA but I need to isolate them first.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Look for the record source of the report. In design view, you will find it on the property sheet on the data tab. In addition, check for a control on the report called txtSubTotal, this may be bound to a field from the record source. You can select the name of a control on the property sheet, and the control itself will be highlighted.
All,
I've been working on a custom timesheet report that uses multiple datasets (8 to be exact). Each dataset selects the data by the same ID field which is currently input as a parameter. It works great like that. But now I'm told that the end user wants to input a date and have all the reports printed out for that date rather than having to enter in an ID each time. Each timesheet is 2 - 3 pages. It is intended to emulate a form and contains some data but a lot of blank areas to allow the field people to write in any changes that have occurred.
My question, is this: what is the best way of accommodating the new requirement? Should I build it all as one big dataset and use the date as a parameter?
Should I create a wrapper report that would prompt for the date and then use the existing report as sub report? Would that even work?
Is there any way I can just create a new date parameter and put that ahead of the ID parameter and get them to print out like that? I've got a few hidden parameter fields on the body that get used in the page header and are used to link some of the datasets.
any help is appreciated.
Easiest way to achieve this is indeed by creating a wrapper report with the date parameter. The data set in this report will then fetch all items (with ID) that match the query by the user. The report can then have a list for that dataset, with the original report as a subreport. If you pass the ID parameter from the dataset to the subreport you wouldn't need to change hardly anything in the original report.
Two things to watch out for:
the Report Header and Footer in a subreport are not rendered - these are only rendered for the wrapper report
you may need to tweak your page breaks in the subreport and on the new list in the wrapper report so each new form starts on a fresh page
