We're atm creating Reports with the reporting service, but it's not quite defined where to use which Font.
My easiest approach would have been to create a Variable per Report and set the Font in the expression:
Variables!FontStyle.Value
Sadly it doesn't seem to work. If I print the Variable-Text, I see the Font, but it seems like I need some sort of conversion.
As far as I found I've not seen any possibility to do such things, the only Idea would be with HTML-Tags, but I guess since there is a Font-Expression, there is a easier ways.
BTW: I'm really having a lot of small stuff, which bugs me a bit in SSRS, has someone some good articles / books for "Best practices" etc.?
Thanks in advance.
If you want to use a font style for the entire report you can set it with a variable. In the report properties there is a sub heading called Variables, click the dotted button to add a variable. In the report properties window click Add then give it a name you will refer to later like myFont, enter Pristina into the value as an example. Click okay.
Now to call your variable right click on some text and go to properties. In the text box property window click Font and then the fx button next to the font name, then enter your font variable you set earlier =Variables!myFont.Value.
There you go

I have a project where my files are in "lisp-case" (hyphen delimited) and I would like to use the filename as a variable in a live template, but it must be converted to CamelCase first.
I found out that you can set the expression fileNameWithoutExtension() under "Edit Template Variables" and there is also a function called camelCase() which should be able to turn my filenames into CamelCase. But I cannot figure out how to combine those two. I tried doing camelCase(fileNameWithoutExtension()) but that does not work, unfortunately.
Is it possible to achieve this some other way?
camelCase(fileNameWithoutExtension())
It's a correct syntax.
Is it possible to achieve this some other way?
Please ensure that Skip if defined checkbox is checked for this variable.
If I try to wrap fileNameWithoutExtension() inside camelCase() and press enter to save the entry the window is closed but the change is not saved
It's an IDE bug (https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-132965 -- supposed to be fixed in current 2017.1.x version).
In any case: either press Enter before leaving the field ... or click on OK button straight away (you may then reopen this window to do further changes).
Also, when editing the field it's rendered like a select box which is kind of weird. Maybe it's a bug in this specific version. I'm on PhpStorm 10.0.4 for Mac.
Not a Mac user here .. but it is an editable drop-down box indeed (it lists all possible functions).
Please press here to see my gif that could provide a better understanding of my problem.
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 have a form including listboxes. I'm trying to change order of listboxes. I tried bring front or send back but they are not working in form view. I found z index property for arranging their priority. However, following codes are not working. Is this correct way to do it? Or is there any other way with or without codes to do this?
Me.Controls.SetChildIndex (Me.List0 , Me.List1)
Thanks for any help.
Without using code:
You can change the z-order by right-clicking any control and selecting "Position" then selecting either "Bring to Front" or "Send to Back."
Unfortunately, Access does not support the ZOrder method for manipulation using code. Microsoft Forms does support the ZOrder method which can get confusing when it comes up on Access Help.
As I reread your question, I wonder if you're talking about tab order. If so, right-click and bring up "Properties," select the "Other" tab, then adjust the "Tab Index" property. Also, make sure that the "Tab Stop" property immediately beneath is set to "Yes." In code you would use FormName.ControlName.TabIndex=0 to set a control to the first tab position.
Hope this helps!
Reference: Personal experience (and hours of frustration)
docmd.RunCommand acCmdDesignView
forms("form1").Controls("text0").inselection=true
docmd.runcommand acCmdSendToBack '(or docmd.runcommand acCmdBringToFront)
docmd.RunCommand acCmdFormView
Also, ZOrder is still not supported by Access 2016. As such, I have not yet learned a way to write a single line of code that puts a control in between two others, I just send the middle to back and then the back to back, and expand this to however many controls have to overlap.
And last, even though you use the VBA for ZOrder, your English does ambiguously sound like forms("form1").Controls("text0").TabIndex=34, which as Olek suggested, is also quite simple.
I did this on one Access form: The control I wanted on top I just cut and pasted it back to the form, then moved it over the one I wanted to cover. In this case, it was a text box (bound), almost the same size as a combo box (unbound); only the dropdown of the combo extended a bit to the right of the text box, so when the form was loaded the text box looked like a combo box. The user clicked the dropdown and made a choice and the record(s) pulled up were reflected in the text box.
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 a report in SQL Server Reporting Services which should show
a text box with a static text for "normal" users
a text box with a hyperlink to open up a new details windows for "super" users
The user level is determined by a parameter being passed into the report.
How can I achieve this? I tried to create a textbox with a text span inside that has a hyperlink, and then just leave it blank for "normal" users, but that doesn't seem to work reliably.
Is there a trick or method to get this to work? I'm thinking I need to add some code to the report to check the user level and then either insert a static text, or a text with a label, into that target textbox. But how do I do that (not having any VB/VBA/VB.NET experience....)
Thanks!
Marc
To make the hyperlink, you should be able to use an expression like
=iif(Parameters!IsSuperUser.Value = True, "http://some link","#")
in the Action property of the textbox, if you set the Action to "Jump to URL".
To control the content of the textbox, use a similar expression in the Value property.
(This is true on SSRS 2005 - I don't have access to 2008)
Edit
Unfortunately, hyperlinks in SSRS aren't formatted in a way to make it clear that they're hyperlinks. The only way to achieve this would be to add similar conditional formatting expression to the Color and TextDecoration attributes to make the field appear in a different colour and underlined when it is a hyperlink.
I haven't got SSRS installed on the machine that i'm writing this on so i can't give you an exact guaranteed bug free answer, but this answer should set you on the right track.
Have two textboxes, both located in the same absolute position (inside a container element if necessary). Fill them both with their correct values. Then just control their visibility by toggling their Hidden property with an expression:
=(Parameters!UserLevel.Value = 'Admin')
Obviously UserLevel is the name of the parameter being passed in to the report. The 'Admin' value is for illustrative purposes, personally i would use an int value to represent the user level, much like using an enum.
Remember that it is the Hidden property you are setting, so you have to reverse the logic you would have used if you were setting a Visible property :)
