I have this report that has a parameter that users can select which view will appear when they run the report.
It has 3 options, Cluster view, Country view and Raw data view. Cluster view has a matrix and chart in one rectangle, Country view shows a matrix then Raw data view is a simple table.
I just hide the object when they are not included on the view. I put an expression on Hidden property.
So now, my problem is when I extract the report in csv. with Raw data view selected, the file includes the datasets for the two other views. How can I remove those so users can only see the data for raw data view?
One option would be to have each view set up as a separate report. Instead of parameters, the first report would have links to the other reports. You can do this with a textbox action. When they choose to export it will only be able to export the dataset from the report they have chosen.
The CSV Renderer doesn't respect the hidden property. I would say use [&RenderFormat.Name] as a dataset filter to exclude the data itself, but unfortunately you can't use that variable as a parameter or tablix filter.
You could create a CSV-export version of the report. Then you could create a link on the main report which specifies the export mode with a link, using the format: http://myrshost/ReportServer?/myreport&rs:Format=CSV.

I am using the WebDataRocks reporting tool in asp.net core razor view, the user specifies some form inputs to filter the report with, and clicks show report to display the report, and when the user selects additional fields to be displayed ( from the report "fields" option in the report toolbox), and click show report again ( may he changed the filtration inputs), the newly selected fields disappear and display the fields based on the specified slice at the beginning, Is there a way to save the last selected fields (slice) by the user with the subsequent requests to display the report?
The Fields List does not save its state after some field or measure is added or removed. To change the slice, press the "Apply" button inside the Fields List.
Also, you can use the following API calls to implement a custom Fields List where all the changes are applied immediately:
getRows, getColumns, getMeasures, getReportFilters - get the
current slice configuration
getAllHierarchies, getAllMeasures - retrieve all the data about
fields
runQuery(slice) - modify the slice in runtime. Contains
rows, columns, measures, and reportFilters options from the slice
object
Can Excel render only the visible row groups on a report?
I have a report [SSRS 2017] that has nested row groups on the Tablix.
The child groups are hidden by default, toggled by a report field. When you run the report, the default view displays just the summary rows.
Folks naturally try to export this to Excel (to work with just the summary rows) and of course When they export to Excel (collapsed or not) they get the grouped child rows:
Is there any way for SSRS to suppress hidden row groups when exporting to Excel (while still having a working toggle on the web version of the report)?
My fallback is to duplicate the report, remove the child row groups altogether, and just link to the "simplified" version of the report for that purpose.
thanks!
I haven't done this before but I have seen the theory for this once.
You would want to add an extra column and use it as the Toggle Item. Then set the visibility for the new column based on whether it's an EXCEL export.
=IIF(Globals!RenderFormat.Name="EXCEL" or Globals!RenderFormat.Name="EXCELOPENXML", True, False)
I haven't seen it work, so I don't know if will work the way you want.
The solution above does not work if you want to hide detail rows shown by drilling down.
For this case there's another way:
Create a boolean parameter to "suppress details" for example ExcelHide.
Create a copy of the tablix you want to hide the details from.
Set visibility parameter of the ORIGINAL tablix to the value of the parameter. This will HIDE this tablix when the parameter is true.
Set visibility parameter of the COPIED tablix to the negated value (not ExcelHide) of the parameter. This will SHOW this tablix when the parameter is false.
On the COPIED tablix, hide all elements you do not want to export to Excel.
When the report is run you set the parameter so you can show the details for regular operation and hide elements to allow successful export to Excel.
Almost there! I achieved this by setting the DataElementOutput property in my Tablix to "NoOutput", then prefixing the following to any fields in the rows I wished to exclude from my CSV export:
=IIf(Globals!RenderFormat.Name="CSV",Nothing,[YourValue])
Hope this helps folk and thanks [#Hannover Fist].
i have created the ssrs report with parameters.
Whatever parameters i am selecting in the dropdown i want to show that in Report Preview and excel export.
Can anyone please guide how to do that?
You can use textboxes and enter the parameters in the expression. For single-value parameters, use either
=Parameters!ReportParameter1.Label
or
=Parameters!ReportParameter1.Value
Parameters have a label and a value. For example you can have a user with User_Id (value) = 1 and Username (label) = Rajashri. So you use the appropriate one.
If you have multi-value parameters, you will need to use the Join function in order to turn them into a list.
Example :
=Join(Parameters!ReportParameter1.Label, ", ")
To show this information on Export, you’ll need to include it in your report somewhere.
The approach we have taken is to display this information at the bottom of the table (for example), by merging all the cells and listing the parameters used for the report
I was wondering if this was possible. I have my main form with a bunch of tables on it, and then I have a report. Standard stuff there. The report is named Report1. What I was wondering, is there a way I can put a command button on my main form, that when pressed, will export Report1 onto my desktop (or wherever I specify) in a CSV format? I would like to do this in VBA if possible. I'm not sure if I could make a macro format into CSV, but I am pretty open to any suggestions. Thank you
You can export the report's data to CSV by using DoCmd.TransferText with the report's Record Source table or named query.
Take a look at this: VBA DoCmd.TransferText - exporting query to .csv with user defined file path
A report is always based on a query.
You can find your query in the properties within the Design View of your report ("RecordSource").
The best way should be to generate a query (based on your current report) and link that query to the report ("RecordSource") and to the export button (DoCmd.TransferText).
Thereby, if you want to change your report / report data, you only need to change it once.
I have a report created in SSRS in client mode, which is run disconnected: I create the data source in code and pass to the report as a DataView. It works ok.
But I need to be able to reference from the project to some objects (variables, whatever) from my application, as follows:
I need some totals that are not calculated based on data in report. e.g. the reports show total sales in a period, with own total, but I need to display a field in report footer - previous month total (actually they are about 10 other "previous" totals).
I need to have some columns show / hide based on some settings in the application (e.g. I have application option : Show Previous month sales)
Any thoughts on how to do this?
Thank you
Q1-> In order to use data in your reports, you need to specify the data inside of a Datasource object. You cannot simply use the variables if that is what your intentions were. So yes, you are doing this the right way. *** Sorry, you could theoretically used Report Parameters for this.
Q2-> This is the real reason to use Report Parameters. You can pass parameters to the report to do exactly this. If the HideColumn parameter (for example) is set to true, you could hide all the columns that need to be hidden.

For question 1 - the data - the easiest approach would be to create a DataTable in memory and add it as another dataset OR to add fields for your original dataview that contain these values.
Question 2 - To hide or show the columns based on settings make the column visibility an expression based on the value of a parameter, in your code behind set the parameter value to your application setting.
