I am facing a peculiar issue in a report using SSRS. When I run the report in BIDS the report runs fine. When I deploy to my report server - we are using sharepoint integrated mode - a particular section is hidden. When I export to PDF from the report server the section magically appears.
The section does have some visibility criteria set but its not on render formats - instead on fields.
BTW - this is the expression I am using:
=IIF(Fields!Item16Status.Value = "NA", True, False).
Also this is happening only for one particular value of input parameters.
I have included the screenshots from BIDS and server for reference here.
Any suggestions to resolve this would be great.
Thanks.

I'm getting the error: "An attempt was made to set a report parameter 'ABC_PrintCopyOriginal_TH"' that is not defined in this report. when I try to view my reports in a web browser. I'm executing this reports through a menu with button code. When the page comes up I get the error.
I have added manually ABC_PrintCopyOriginal_TH in parameter level report design. this ABC_PrintCopyOriginal_TH was enum which I used to print filter expression based on menu item button. eg: when click on original menu button it needs to print original on report design if etc copy button wise versa....
Can you please help me how to resolve this?
Are you using an SSRS Reporting server to host your reports? If so, have you deployed the report and tried restarting the Reporting server after the changes?
What editor are you using to edit the .rdl files?
If deploying and restarting the server doesn't help there is probably a typo in your .rdl file somewhere since you manually add stuff. Try using Report Builder and check if that gives you more info about the issue.
We have 1 report that's being exported to PDF manually in the web page.
However, when we update a certain value, the new value can be seen in the table but when we tried exporting the data, it keep showing the old value in the report.
The stored procedure used in the report is showing the new value.
It works fine when running the VS 2013.
I am not sure if caching is enabled in our report server but in that RDL file, we did not explicitly specify to cached the data as shown below.

There are no RDL.Data files in the report server as well and other reports are extracted to PDF and its working fine.
Do you have any idea or did I missed something that needs to be checked?
Thank you.
I have a report for which there is sometimes no data to output. This report is run along with several other reports and all are then output to PDF. However, this report still produces the header and footer with a blank page even tho there is no data.
I can move the header and footer into the report and have tried to hide those elements with =if(rownumber("PersonalProfile")=0, True, False) in the Hidden property of those elements. It hides everything so now the page is blank, but it will will output a blank PDF. Is there a way to completely suppress the report?
I'm using 2008 and I don't see a Report Visibility property. All the data for the report is inside a single Tablix which is inside a rectangle.
There are 3 datasets: PersonalProfile which contains the meat of the data; BoardNames which just produces the name of the board for the report; BoardMeetings which allows the user to pick a date parameter.
If you are distributing your report using subscriptions and you have Enterprise Edition, then you can look at using Data Driven Subscriptions which will give you control over how and when reports are distributed based on whatever logic you need. Otherwise, there is no way to do what you are asking - as trubs says, Reporting Services must first render the report before it has any knowledge of whether there is any data to display.
You haven't explained how you are "running the reports" (e.g. manually in Report Manager, report subscription, third party app using URL access) - if you do perhaps someone can suggest a workaround.
There is no way to do what you want. ssrs has to produce the report in order to determine there is nothing to display.
I am using a subreport (say 'child1') to create one master report (say 'parent1'). The report 'parent1' uses 15 instances of report 'child1', once for each parameter.
Up untill 10 instances, report behaviour is nice, but once I add an 11th instance, report format is getting weird. I have set Interactive Height to 0 for both 'child1' and 'parent1' reports. I am not sure what I'm missing here.
I have created the report in BIDS 2005, and it's working fine in BIDS. The problem only shows up when deployed in report manager. Also: exporting to Excel and PDF works just fine.
Any input on this is appreciated.
This issue is usually found when the report is deployed to the Report server.
You do one thing, use rectangle container for each sub report & then try out. Might help you out.
In order to populate a textbox in a page header I am setting up a parameter (as you cannot use Fields) and referencing this in the textbox. The parameter has the Default Value set to "From Query" and the Dataset and Value Field are set accordingly. This works a treat in developmentt in Visual Studio 2005. Once I have deployed the report and am viewing the report in the ReportViewer control I get the error:
"Parameter validation failed. It is not possible to provide valid values for all parameters. (rsParameterError)".
If I remove the parameter, the report works fine.
(Strange thing is that I thought I had this working earlier).
You've probably checked, but has the default value copied over? I've had issues in the past with reporting services where the default values were lost when I moved a report from one box to another.
Thanks for the answer - it has pointed me in the right direction...I have been using my own program to deploy multiple reports so rarely look at them via the Report Manager website. Anyway - I just deployed the report on my home PC and it worked fine....looking at the report in Report Manager on both PCs I found that "Prompt User" on the PC that wasn't working was not ticked...go figure. Ticking this resolved the problem.
I am liking the results that I am getting from SSRS, but I am quite new to it and am finding some things (like this) a little frustating...mouse and keyboard are lucky to not find themselves thrown out the window!
