I am using oracle report 6i. I have a problem with the report design. I would like to change one of the field's height to be as high as another field. The second field does have not a fixed height, it depends on the data. So, I found Format Trigger, I have tried to get the height of the other field and set it to be in the current field, but I couldn't. Does anyone know?
I know it is an old question, but nonetheless ...
As far as I can tell, Format Trigger won't do any good here.
I'd go with creating a new frame that would contain both fields (how? Create it in Paper Layout Editor, paint it white (so that you can see what's going on), then move it "Back" until you see both fields appear "on top" of that frame, which means that they are contained in it). Make the frame variable vertically so that it could grow with field_1.
Another option you could try is to anchor field_2 to field_1.

As you can see above that it's kinda a problem, but I don't know what to do, so I am hoping that some of you could tell me what and how to do with this. It's my first time to see this " Object variable or With block variable not set" problem...
I don't have any code to show you because I was using the default way to make bound textbox and then using a subform with lots of subform. (See the gif for the idea of the layout)
It's in danish language, but I think this should be a common problem as everywhere in the world, so...
It's in access 2013, in case you was asking.
uhm... If there're any questions, please ask right away.
So you have a subform within a subform and you are receiving an error when trying to set the properties of the innermost subform that link it to it's parent form (which I will refer to as the middle subform).
Here's a thought. Try opening the "middle subform" in the designer (ie do not open the main form, just the middle subform from the navigation panel). then set the properties. This has a better chance of working.
Here's some references I used for inspiration, the first of which stresses the fact that the linked "fields" are actually EITHER control names OR field names from the dataset and why it is often best to use control names.

I am trying to show a "check" or "X" image inside a tablix cell based on a Condition. I have added both Images to the image Folder and am setting the BackGroundImage Value property to this expression...
=IIF(Fields!PASS.Value = 1,"CheckMark","XMark")
I've also set Background Repeat to Clip. Inside Preview view it looks fine, but when pushing the rdl to the server and running the report locally, the image continues to repeat to fill the textbox.
I am running IE8 and SSRS 2008. Is there a better approach in doing this without setting Background Image property, realistically I'd like to just set the TextBox value property.
I found that I was only getting the repeating Background image 'feature' despite having BackgroundRepeat set to 'Clip' when using an image encoded in a database field or where the name of the embeded image was coming from the database i.e. where Value was set to an Expression.
What I found worked was to set BackgroundRepeat to the Expression ="Clip".
Note that I'm working in 2013/2014 RDL/RDLC but it seems to be the same issue.
One alternative would be to use the show/hide parameter in the text box to control which of the images gets hidden. I'm not sure if this would solve your not repeating option, but it is something you can try. You would set both images to show in each box and write a conditional formula (the inverse of your formula above, pretty much) to hide an image based on value. I'm not sure if that would mess up the alignment for you though, unless you can place the two images on top of eachother since only 1 should show anyway.
It seems that you are not alone with this issue, as there are several other posts about it going back as far as 2010 when I google it. The last status I saw was that it was submitted as a bug to Microsoft, and it seems all of the users had to find workarounds.
I was having the same problem. I found by setting the MIMEtype and setting BackgroundRepeat to Clip fixed the issue.
In my report I have Matrices that appear according to the parameters on a SP. Each Matrix holds an specific "code"/description which I want to show on the Page Header accordingly.
I tried using an <<Expr>> but that didn't work well as it only shows the first record of the database instead of the code for the specific matrix.
Then I found out that I can show an specific textbox with "=ReportItems!TextBoxXX.Value" and so I added to each Matrix the code value hidden.
Now I thought of adding in the page header inside a TextBox a concatenation of all the values, but that didn't work, and I got a:
"The value expression for the textrun "textboc11.Paragraphs[0].TextRuns[0]" refers to more than one report item. An expression in a page header or footer can refer to only one report item.
Hence, my next attempt consisted of adding separate text boxes each one with the desired TextBox Value and one behind the other (like a Pile of textboxes). Everything working now, except that the "space" that each textbox occupies appears in the report showing the desired value and a white space above each textbox when rendered.
Any ideas of how to prevent this behavior? Maybe creating an array with the textboxes and creating an IIF or I don't know, I've been searching for days and nothing seems like a good approach.
I hope someone can give me some advice and that I explained myself.
Thanks!
In an auto-generated chart based on a query (I dragged the chart object onto a blank form to start it), the chart itself is displaying and updating properly, datawise, but I want to change the Legend from reading "SumOfAvgOfield1" and "SumOfAvgOfield2" to regular words suitable for final presentations. But I can't find a way to change it!
I realize this is a late answer, but I was just having a similar issue and figured someone else might benefit from knowing how to get rid of the 'SumOf' labels.
In design view, right click on the chart and select 'Properties'.
Choose the Data tab.
The 'Row Source' field is the one you're going to be interested.
In there you can see various places where it's labeling your data:
Sum() AS [SumOfData]
Just edit the text right in the properties window and you'll be set.
This is WAY late, but here's what I found (Yes we still use office 2007)
Open the form in PivotTable View. Open Property Sheet. Highlight the column you want to change the Legend Caption for. Choose the Captions Tab in the properties window. There you can change the captions for each column.
Had 4 charts on a form. 3 would let me edit the Heading of the Chart, the 4th would not. Read a lot of posts that did not pertain. Noticed the datasheet for the 4th chart was completely empty.
SOLUTION: Clicked on chart until the datasheet appeared. Added mock field headings and mock data to datasheet. I could then click on chart and edit the chart's Heading. You can also highlight and change the color of selected words in the chart's Heading. Very Nice!
Good luck,
Vancer
The SumofAverageOfFiled1, etc is automatically generated. Even if you edit it in the datasheet, it changes back (or at least that is my experience). What I did to get around this is add a Rectangle and fill it with white and size it to cover up the "Sumof" captions. You can Bring to Front the Rectangle. Then you can add text boxes to label the chart's bars to read the way you want them. Drag them over the Rectange and Bring to Front.
Hope this helps.
Everywhere I looked it said just change the Pivot Table to change the Legend Entry.
Well, let me tell you.
First, if you have no Pivot Table that you can see do the following:
go to design view and select the form
right click and hit Properties. Scroll through till you see AllowPivotTableView and select yes.
Now you can go and change the column headers!
This could help
Select xxxxx, yyyyy from zzzz
Chart0.ChartSeriesCollection(0).DisplayName = ![XXXXX]
Chart0.ChartSeriesCollection(1).DisplayName = ![YYYYY]
Was very difficult to me to find a way to do it.
I have created a chart using a stored procedure which lists totals by name.
However when I create the chart the names only appear for every second element. I have tested this in a table and I get each name correctly.
My first thoughts were that it was a sizing issue, so I considerably increased the size of my chart, but this doesn't make a difference.
Does anyone know what could be causing the problem?

That "VariableAutoInterval" did not work for me, it showed every alternate other label. However the following worked:
In the Axis Properties -> Interval, type 1 : This will show every label. If you type 2, it will show every alternate label and so on.

Reference : msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb934393.aspx
I have found the problem. If you go to the properties of the X-Axis in your chart and go to >Interval > VariableAutoInterval and by default this is set to false. Set this to true and it now works.
However there is a problem with formatting as although the labels appear they are displayed slighter off centre of the actual bar elements... this should easily be fixed though.
Thanks for your help!

Ahh you have run into the notorious RS bug that most everyone doesn't notice. No solution to this, however what you can do to display ALL x axis labels is to shorten the categories (or x-axis values to 3-4 letters a piece and display a key).
What I mean about this is in your SQL table of categories add a field called Acronym or something an for a category such as :
SQL SERVER CATEGORY I
In the acronym field make it
SSCI
And in your report instead of using the category field use a much shorter value (the SSCI value). Now next to your report object just create a matrix / table object that displays categories with their acronyms. You do realize that you can use multiple objects in one report that may point to different data sets.
Doing this will display all the X-Axis values, it is all because of the lengths of the categories...
Seems to be working for me. Can you try to export the report to pdf / excel and check the results. Also I am using RS 2005, are you using 2008?
