I've created a table in SSRS 2008 with multiple rows. Meaning, 1 row of information from the database displays as multiple rows in the the table. Until I export, then it gets flattened into a single row. I'm exporting to a custom CSV that uses tab delimitation.
Is there any way I can force the export to do a line break at the end of my SSRS table rows, as opposed to the database rows? I want the end of my SSRS table rows to produce an <CR><LF> when exported like each field produces a <Tab>.
It's hard to explain. Please let me know if I can clarify anything. Thanks.

I am evaluation solutions to a relatively unique problem or use case of SSRS Reports. I would like to be able to use the scheduling component of SSRS Reporting to create a CSV file from a query that already returns the data in CSV format. The reason behind this idea is that I am looking to have dynamic columns (both which columns are selected as well as the order they are in). From a decent amount of research doing this is a table/tablix format didn't seem viable. Not to mention the columns that are hidden with an expression end up showing up in the CSV anyway.
So the main requirements are:
Use of SSRS for scheduling
Allowing for dynamic column return (number of columns and order).
I am working on some SSRS reports which already were built using Crystal reports.
When I use the same SQL script in SSRS and export to tab limited text file, for some of the rows there is a symbol (") at the beginning and end of the row, but this is not coming for the all of the rows, only for some of the rows in the result set. Also my script returns single column and which is concatenated filed.
I checked the settings in my rsreportserver.config and its like
<Qualifier></Qualifier> for the tablimitted format.
I am bit confused in this case and I really appreciate if anybody can help me in this.
Thanks,

Is there a way to write data to an excel spreadsheet after skipping x number of rows...excel is my destination and a sql query would be my source?
My scenario is one where i have a lot of header rows that i need to skip before data insertion. I would like to do this in an SSIS package. I am using SQL 2008 and Excel 2010.
Thanks
if you right click on the excel connection manager at the bottom of the page than click options , there is a setting called FirstRowHasColumnName set it to FALSE .let me know if it helps , didn't really understand if you just want to skip the first row that is the name of the columns from SQL query or more , there are other ways
Easiest way would be to modify your SQL query to exclude the header rows. If you can't do that then you need some logic to determine if the row is a header row (like checking if a certain field is a number):
If you can do that then you can do this:
read all columns in as text
Put in a derived column where you generate a new column IsHeader using your logic
Use Conditional Output to filter out the rows where your IsHeader is true
Use Data Conversion or Derived column to convert the columns to correct datatype
Output to Excel as usual
I want to create JasperReports reports based on dynamically generated CSV files.
Generated CSV file contain two different column headers. I want to omit the first header details and only need to read values from second header.
Refer the attached image.
I want to skip the first 3 rows and need to read csv from 4th or 5th row onwards.
Please note that I unable to delete first header. How can we perform this requirement to generate such report?
'AMOUNT' datatype is BigDecimal and Based on 'AMOUNT', perform several calculations also.
How can we view reports with iReport with this requirement?
I am creating a report in SSRS. I have a table showing the date and time the report was generated, it's a single column table with one expression =Now() and is not linked to any datasets.
The trouble I am having is that it returns 77 rows all with the exact same date. My main dataset returns 77 rows in a different table but that table is not linked to this one in any way.
How can I stop it from returning so many rows? The reason I'm using a table and not a text box is because I want it to have the same look and feel as other data presented in my report i.e. Header Row and Data Presented underneath. There are a few tables that use the same approach and all of them are returning duplicate rows. As you can see from the image below, I just need the first row from each table.
EDIT: Looks like SSRS automatically references a dataset when I insert a new table. When I change the table properties dataset to none it returns an error. Is there a way around this? I don't want data from any dataset, just want to use an simple expression =now()
As you've seen, a Tablix requires a DataSet, and when you only have one DataSet in a report it will link to this DataSet automatically in some circumstances.
You've mentioned you don't want to use Textboxes, but this does seem like the easiest option.
If you're set on using a Tablix for ease of formatting, to prevent any repeating rows just delete the Details group that gets set up by default when you create a Table through the designer:
This leaves a table with one header row only - you can add more header rows as required:
The result is a table that will only display the header rows once, i.e. no repeating rows.
You can add Summary data or individual fields from the DataSet to these header rows; if no aggregation is specified it will just take the first row by default.
