I need to create student certificate using SSRS. I created new .rdl file did designed and associated with data source.
It works for single student as expected. But it does not creates report with multiple certificate while my data source returns multiple student details.
I am new for SSRS, please help me out to achieve this.
If you want to generate a certificate for each row of your dataset in the same report, you can do this with a tablix:
Add a Tablix to you your report that lists your dataset data
Drag a Rectangle into one of the Details row cells
Make the cell you dragged the Rectangle into large enough to hold all your
certificate report items
Select all your certificate items and move them into the Rectangle
Update any references to your dataset to not include a 'scope'
ie: Change =sum(Fields!ColName.Value, "Your Dataset") to =sum(Fields!ColName.Value)
Run the report
You should now have a certificate for each row in your dataset.
If you want to export multiple separate certificates, you will need to set up a data driven subscription on your report, that runs it once for each row of a returned dataset. Obviously you will need to adjust your report to be able to receive which student to generate the certificate for as a parameter.
Another way is.. if your data set is returning one row per student, then all you need to do you on your tablix is to add a parent row group.. group on StudentID.. or something unique per record.. go to group properties and add a page break at end of group. This should generate one certificate page per student..
You may need to adjust group headings and footer and things like that appear.. You will figure it out... alternatively.. watch a youtube video on how to do a basic ssrs report.
I have a subreport call StudentSub.rdl. This is linked with DataSet (stored procedure) Sp_GetStudentName(#ClassNo int). This works fine it gives always only one certificate.
Since I wanted to generate class wise certifiacte, in that case I wanted to get muliple report page wise in one PDF file. Followed below steps:
Created new RDL file called StudentReports.rdl
Linked with same data set stored procedure Sp_GetStudentName.
Drag a table from tool box to design body.
Set visibility False for table Header and some columns except one td.
Right clicked in that box (td) and inserted sub report
Right clicked sub report properties selected StudentSub subreport.
In the sub report properties added parameter ClassNo then clicked Ok.
Now When I am previewing this StudentReports by passing class no. I am getting correct number of pages.
Hope this will help others.
Thanks!

I have a query that returns relevant data about inspectors and how long it takes them to respond to issues. The only parameters are a BeginDate and EndDate so for any given date range there could be anywhere from 0 to 100 inspectors.
I am using only one dataset and it contains an "Inspector" field that I'm hoping can be used as a filter to create as many tables as there are inspectors.
I know you can set filters on tables but from my (limited) SSRS knowledge, you must already have the tables created and the filters are typically hard-coded. What I need, is some way for the report to see how many Inspectors there are in the dataset and group those records into their own tables, repeating the same one created tablix over and over as needed.
This is being done strictly in SSRS 2012, not using a ReportViewer where back-end code could help me out unfortunately...
I don't have any code examples to provide, like I said I know you can do filtering but I am at a loss when it comes to doing something like this dynamically based on data... Sorry.
Depending on the report design you could either...
Single report with grouping
1. Create a single tablix.
2. Create a row group by Inspector and then add whatever fields you need to the details section.
3. You can optionally set page breaks between instances of your Inspector rowgroup from the rowgroup properties.
Sub report method
1. Create a subreport that accepts a parameter (InspectorID for example).
2. In the subreport filter the dataset using the parameter passed in so it only return data for a single inspector.
3. Add whatever controls you need to the report to handle a single Inspector
4. Create a main report
5. Add a dataset that gives you a simple distinct list of Inspectors, this will be used to pass parameters to the subreport.
Lets assume it just contains a list of InspectorIDs.
6. Add a list control to the report and set it's dataset property to the dataset that contains your list of InspectorIDs
7. Right-click in the list control's 'cell' and insert a subreport.
8. Set the subreport property to the subreport you created earlier and set that parmameter IsnpectorID to your InpsectorID field.
This will produce a subreport for each instance of inspector it finds.
Sorry about the format of this answer, in a rush!
I have a subreport I am trying to link into my main report. The main report pulls back information from one database and the subreport pulls from another. I could use lookup, but I lose the ability to format so I was hoping to achieve this with a subreport.
I enter a date range via my parameters, and let's say I get 30 client/matter codes back. It page breaks at the end of each row, so the data for each client/matter ends up on its own report. The goal is for me to output a large number of reports based on date ranges. The subreport pulls in folder names, and just like the other information, the folders for only that client/matter should be on that report.
What's currently happening is on each report, it just lists ALL of the folders for ALL of the client matters on each and every report.
I've tried making the subreport an adjacent group (which you can see in the screenshot) and grouping on Client code and then matter code. I've tried making the client code and matter codes internal parameters in both reports in the hope that it help filtered. I also tried just inserting the subreport into a cell inside the matter_code group but not as a group itself.
I apologize in advance if my explanation doesn't make sense. I'm having a hard time trying to put this into words.
From your explanation I would assume that you have a subreport in a group but you are not passing anything through to it. Have you tried passing through parameters to the subreport that uniquely define the customer and the customer folders?
I've created many SSRS reports with multiple tabs, and am able to name the tabs at will using the page break/page name section of the properties window for a given tablix.
What I'm trying to solve for now, and can't find any good answers on the web for, is to create new tabs based on the result of my dataset.
The simplest example of which would be a new tab for each year of data, so now that we are in 2017 I would expect the report to add in a new tab for 2017 data (this is just a hypothetical example).
Is this possible in SSRS-2014, or do I have to settle for manual updates/additions every time I want a new tab?
You can do this. What you need to do is put the controls in the body of your report into a List control. In the Details group properties of that List control, group by year and set it up to page break between each group.
The basic steps are in the answer here below.
Create a new report with an empty body.
Add the Data Source(s), Parameter(s), and Dataset(s) that are needed. Make sure to include Year in your main dataset.
Add a List object to the body. Drag and drop it into the body from the Toolbox.
Set the Dataset for the list to the main data that has the year in it.
In the Row Groups pane of the Visual Studio report designer, right click on the Details row, and choose Group Properties. On the General page, click the Add button under Group expressions, choose Year from the Group on dropdown. This assumes you are getting this in the data.
While in the same dialog, go to the Page Breaks page and check the Between each instance of a group option. Click OK.
Add a Tablix inside the List. This is what will show your data.
Add some fields to the Tablix.
Run the report.
If your data returned information across more than one year, upon export to Excel, you will have one sheet for each year.
To set the sheet labels, you set the PageName property on the List detail properties pane.
Click the List control
In the Row Groups pane of the Visual Studio report designer, click on the Details row
Find the Page Name property in the Properties Pane, and set the expression to the Year value from the dataset =Fields!Year.Value
Now the sheets should be labeled with the year.
Per alejandro zuleta's comment, Set the desired group properties to page break between each instance of the group, when the report renders to excel it should interpret this as a sheet break.
If your group is dynamic, so too will the number of sheets.
You may also consider having a nested table (one table inside the other) where the "parent" table has no header and a single group (and cell) that controls your pagination. for instance; in your hypothetical, you could set the grouping to be something like =YEAR(fields!date.Value). then the "child" table contains the headers and groups that make up the report.
Let's say I have the following data:
In my SSRS report I have a parameter that prompts for MainID.
Now If I put MainID as 1, I should get one report. If I put MainID as 6, I should get 3 reports. Is there a way I can generate these reports dynamically using SSRS? Thanks.
I would approach this by creating a report that uses a List control, and has a page break between each item that you use to group by within that List. One report, a different page for each item of interest, SubID in this case.
Create a new report with an empty body.
Add the Data Source(s), Parameter(s), and Dataset(s) that are needed.
Add a List object to the body. Drag and drop it into the body from the Toolbox.
Set the Dataset for the list to the one you are using to return the data you have listed in your question.
In the Row Groups pane of the Visual Studio report designer, right click on the Details row, and choose Group Properties. On the General page, click the Add button under Group expressions, choose SubID from the Group on dropdown.
While in the same dialog, go to the Page Breaks page and check the Between each instance of a group option. Click OK.
Add a Tablix inside the List. This is what will show your data.
Add some fields to the Tablix. Add Detail and Notes, for no good reason on my part.
Run the report. If you have setup the data source and data set to properly run and filter base on your parameters, you should see something. Maybe an empty report.
Now (based on the data you provided), if you choose 1 for your MainID parameter, the report will display one page, but if you choose 6, you will get 3 page3, or however many records there are related to the parameter value for MainID in the database.
One report, multiple pages depending on the parameter/data. It's not a 3 different reports solutions, but something that could work for your situation.
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
