Hello I have ssrs report and I want to pass parameters within URL is it possible?
report link: http://serverName/reports/reportname
it is possible when I access link like below
http://servername/ReportServer/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx%2fReportName&rs:Command=Render&ParamerterName = abc
but I want to achieve for link http://serverName/reports/reportname
can someone please help
This is a variant I use. This passes concatenated parameters/one parameter from a cell in Excel to the SSRS report (each parameter separated by "-") and opens the report in another Excel workbook. The SSRS report is coded to split the parameter into its constituent parts.

I have a MS access report that I want to run using a linked excel table (so i cannot make any changes to the table in access).
The report has a text box which takes each row in the table and displays it in the text box and later prints it. I want to add a "*" at the beginning and end of the string and then display it in the text box.
I have done this so far:
- Choose data source (excel linked table) from report view
- In design view, press alt+F8 and drag and drop the column header I want into the report.
When I run the report it shows the report on each page, one page for every row of data which I will print later.
Now in design view after clicking on the text box, I go to property sheet and then the "Data" tab, if I try to change the expression to:
="" & [tablename].[headername] & ""
EDIT: There is an "asterisk" sign between the " " above, i don't know why they don't show.
When I run the report it asks me the parameter for the row number I want and displays the report only for that row. How can I use an expression and still be able to get all rows in the report in different pages?
Thanks!
I did what I didn't want to in order to get the problem solved. I used a query to add an additional column (using an expression) and used the query as my data source. Doesn't look like there is a good way to use the report to directly make changes to the table data and show it in a textbox.
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 have ssrs report. When I export that report to csv , and when I open that csv file in ms-excel, some data is coming in column A and some data is coming in column B .Can you help me in getting whole data to column A only ? In report, DataElementOutput property of each textbox is also set to 'Auto'.
Without more to go on it seems you have two columns and they are displayed as such. If you just want a single column consider doing an expression like this in SSRS:(click the cell and choose 'Expression' in 2008 and higher)
=Fields!(FieldName).Value & " " & Fields!(FieldName2).Value
This would put two fields in one column but seperate them with a (space).
Whenever a single page report is exported to excel, sheet in excel is named by the report name.
If a report has multiple pages, the sheets are named as sheet1, sheet2,....
Is there any way to specify sheet names in SSRS 2005 ?
solution:
Found this after some googleing:
Changing the Sheet names in SQL Server RS Excel: QnD XSLT
Will try out and post an update if it works.
Necromancing, just in case all the links go dark:
Add a group to your report
Also, be advised to set the sort order of the group expression here, so the tabs will be alphabetically sorted (or however you want it sorted).
'Zeilengruppe' means 'Target group'
'Gruppeneigenschaften' means 'Group properties'
Set the page break in the group properties
'Seitenumbruche' means 'Page break'
'Zwischen den einzelnen Instanzen einer Gruppe' means 'Between the individual instances of a group'
Now you need to set the PageName of the Tablix Member (group), NOT the PageName of the Tablix itselfs.
If you got the right object, if will say "Tablix Member" (Tablix-Element in German) in the title box of the properties grid. If it's the wrong object, it will say only "table/tablix" (without member) in the property grid's title box.
Note: If you get the tablix instead of the tablix member, it will put the same tab name in every tab, followed by a (tabNum)! If that happens, you now know what the problem is.
To export to different sheets and use custom names, as of SQL Server 2008 R2 this can be done using a combination of grouping, page breaks and the PageName property of the group.
Alternatively, if it's just the single sheet that you'd like to give a specific name, try the InitialPageName property on the report.
For a more detailed explanation, have a look here: http://blog.hoegaerden.be/2011/03/23/where-the-sheets-have-a-name-ssrs-excel-export/
In SSRS 2008 R2 use PageName property of page group:
http://bidn.com/blogs/bretupdegraff/bidn-blog/234/new-features-of-ssrs-2008-r2-part-1-naming-excel-sheets-when-exporting-reports
To add tab names while exporting to excel, I used the following method:
On the report design window, select the tablix object.
Open properties window of the tablix object.
Add the required tab name to the PageName property.
Run the report
Export the report to Excel.
Now the worksheet name is the same as the PageName property of the tablix object.
Put the tab name on the page header or group TableRow1 in your report so that it will appear in the "A1" position on each Excel sheet. Then run this macro in your Excel workbook.
Sub SelectSheet()
For i = 1 To ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Count
mysheet = "Sheet" & i
On Error GoTo 10
Sheets(mysheet).Select
Set Target = Range("A1")
If Target = "" Then Exit Sub
On Error GoTo Badname
ActiveSheet.Name = Left(Target, 31)
GoTo 10
Badname:
MsgBox "Please revise the entry in A1." & Chr(13) _
& "It appears to contain one or more " & Chr(13) _
& "illegal characters." & Chr(13)
Range("A1").Activate
10
Next i
End Sub
There is no direct way. You either export XML and then right an XSLT to format it properly (this is the hard way). An easier way is to write multiple reports with no explicit page breaks so each exports into one sheet only in excel and then write a script that would merge for you. Either way it requires a postprocessing step.
I was able to get this done following more complex instructions suggested by Valentino Vranken and rao , but here is a more simple approach , for a more simple report . This will put each table on a separate sheet and name them in Excel . It doesn't seem to have an effect on other exports like PDF and Word .
First in the Tablix Properties of of your tables under General , check either Add a page break before or after , this separates the report into sheets .
Then in each table , click the table , then in the Grouping view , on the Row Groups side , select the parent group or the default row group and then in the Properties view under Group -> PageBreak set BreakLocation to None and PageName to the sheet's name .
The Rectangle method
The simplest and most reliable way I've found of achieving worksheets/page-breaks is with use of the rectangle tool.
Group your page within rectangles or a single rectangle that fills the page in a sub-report, as follows:
The quickest way I've found of placing the rectangle is to draw it around the objects you wish to place in the rectangle.
Right click and in the layout menu, send the rectangle to back.
Select all your objects and drag them slightly, but be sure they land in the same place they were. They will all now be in the rectangle.
In the rectangle properties you can set the page-break to occur at the start or end of the rectangle and name of the page can be based on an expression.
The worksheets will be named the same as the name of the page.
Duplicate names will have a number in brackets suffix.
Note: Ensure that the names are valid worksheet names.
You could use -sed- and -grep- to replace or write to the xml header of each file specifying your desired sheet name, e.g., sheetname1, between any occurrence of the tags:
<Sheetnames>?sheetname1?</Sheetnames>
While this usage of the PageName property on an object does in fact allow you to customize the exported sheet names in Excel, be warned that it can also update your report's namespace definitions, which could affect the ability to redeploy the report to your server.
I had a report that I applied this to within BIDS and it updated my namespace from 2008 to 2010. When I tried to publish the report to a 2008R2 report server, I got an error that the namespace was not valid and had to revert everything back. I am sure that my circumstance may be unique and perhaps this won't always happen, but I thought it worthy to post about. Once I found the problem, this page helped to revert the namespace back (There are tags that must also be removed in addition to resetting the namespace):
