I need to hide column if all rows in column is empty (blank).
In this case col3 should be hidden, because no values in column.
col1 col2 col3
v1 v4
v2
v3
I'm using following expression on columns Hidden property:
=IIF(Fields!Test5.Value = "",TRUE,FALSE)
This expression working, but It hidding each blank(empty) field, even all column isn't empty. It should hide column only when there is no values at all.
You can use:
=IIF(Max(Field, Dataset)= "",TRUE,FALSE)
If the maximum value is empty it means that there is nothing, and make your hide expression on column.
in case of an SSRS report, right click on the column and click Textbox Properties, choose Column Visibility and write down the below expression on "Show or hide based on an expression"
You can use below if the column value is Null:
=IsNothing(Fields!Column.Value)

I have two Textboxes with some calculated values. Table is initially hided. When I click TextBox1 I want to display fields Field1, Field2, Field3 in Table, when I click TextBox2 I want to display fields Field4, Field5, Field6 in Table. Is it possible to do so?
I've tried to make visible table by "Display can be toggled by this report item" checkbox in Tablix properties and putting there one of the textboxes, but that wouldn't work for second Textbox to display different fields.
You can set the Visibility of a row so you can have one row with your first set of data and then an additional row below.
I would use a Parameter to hold the value of what to show and then set the visibility for the row based on the parameter value.
=IIF(Parameters!TABLE.Value = "Table A", TRUE, FALSE)
The other row would be the opposite.
OR
You could add 3 calculated fields to the Dataset to switch the values based on the parameter.
=IIF(Parameters!TABLE.Value = "Table A", Fields!Field1.Value, Fields!Field4.Value)
Then your report would just reference the calculated fields.
With either method, you can set an Action on TextBox1 to Go To Report to open the same report but with the changed parameter value.
I have a grid with a lot of rows and columns to display data for a report.
Each cell in the grid is represented by a textbox and I am trying to show a blank or empty string in my textboxes to represent a NULL values instead of the default white space. The reason behind is that each textbox value has been underlined to show to the user that it is a link they can click on. A white space in the cell now represents an underscore and replacing the whitespace by blank or an empty string should hopefully solve the issue.
Answers on stackoverflow suggest to set the visibility of the textbox to false but I don't want to do this because this would hide the cell in the grid and I want to show the cells (empty cell with borders).
Here is the code I use to attempt to replace Nothing by an empty string but it doesn't work:
=IIf(IsNothing(Fields!HattyAppsLateOver60.Value),"",Fields!HattyAppsLateOver60.Value)
I have tried using the Trim() method but that doesn't work either.
Is there a way to globally make white spaces show as an empty string or is there a method I could use in my expression to solve my issue?
I would use something like the following expression to drive the TextDecoration property:
=IIf( Fields!HattyAppsLateOver60.Value <> "", "Underline", "Default" )
Can you just modify your query to have something like:
select field1, field2, coalesce(field3,''), field4
from myTable
where condition=true
The coalesce function takes multiple parameters and will return the first non-null value. So you could do something like Coalesce(field1, field2, field3, '') terminating with an empty string to make sure that you guarantee at least one of the options has a non-NULL value.
Currently working on an SSRS report in which there is a parameter "Display by Order" set to false as default. Within the body of the report, I would like to set the group expression to display the Column order if Parameter "Display by Order" is true otherwise do not display the column. I am unsure what the expression would be for this. Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
The Hidden expression for the Column Visibility should be something like:
=Not Parameters!DisplayByOrder.Value
This just flips the parameter value, i.e. if the user selects True, the Hidden property should be False.
More details as requested
Add a Boolean parameter called DisplayByOrder.
I created a simple table with two columns.
Set the Column Visibility for the second column by right-clicking the top of the column to bring up its properties, then using the above expression:
Now the column is hidden/shown by the parameter selection as required:
Hi try with something like this
IIf(Parameters!DisplayByOrder.Value = False, True, False)
I have a report that has 3 parameters: RaceDate, RaceCourse, SilksColours. The SilksColours parameter is optional.
If the SilksColours parameter is selected I want to highlight the row in my report with the colour yellow, while all the other rows stay white.
Is this possible?
For each TextBox in the row you want to highlight, you need need to set the Background Color property to be expression-based and compare the parameter value to value in the row, something like:
=IIf(Fields!Colour.Value = Parameters!SilksColours.Value, "Yellow", "White")
Edit after comments:
OK, as you've noted there are two questions here.
Parameter with default
You have a requirement to have a multi-value parameter with the ability to specify no value in particular. You can't set up a multi-value to accept NULL values, so you need to add a catch all value to the DataSet. So base the parameter on values similar to the following:
Set a parameter up to use this DataSet and set the Default Value to None:
Now we have a parameter with a default, which will not highlight any rows, so users can just ignore if they want or choose values as required.
There is one minor annoyance here - the user can select None and other values as well, they aren't mutually exclusive, but it should be good enough.
Highlighting rows
Next step is to set the Background Color values for all required TextBoxes. Since multiple colours can be selected, we need to treat multi-value parameters differently from single ones, something like:
=IIf(InStr(Join(Parameters!Colour.Value, ","), Fields!Colour.Value) > 0
, "Yellow"
, "White")
So what we need to do is use the JOIN function to create a string list of selected values, then check if the row value is anywhere in that list. Put it all together to get the following:
The report will load straight away as the parameter has a default value, with no rows highlighted:
Choose one colour and the row is highlighted:
Choose multiple colours to highlight multiple rows:
Hopefully all this is what you're after!
I would like to set the visibility of columns based upon the value selected in a parameter.
The problem is I do not want a specific parameter to do this (i.e Hide column X True/False)
My report has several different "departments" who are only interested in certain columns.
What would be the syntax for example to hide the "Sales" column when the "Customer Care" parameter is set?
you can do these works step by step:
1- press right click of your mouse in your favorite column
2- select column visibility
3- from opened window select "Show or hide based on an expression" radio button
4- set an expression for hidden state. for example:
=IIF(Parameters!CustomerCare.Value <> "favorite value", true,false)
