I have a report that gets pulled and exported through sharepoint. Today I made some changes to one of the reports deployed those changes. Now when I render the report in sharepoint everything looks correct. However when I export the report in CSV format the column names revert to the aliases from the sql query instead of what I put in the designer for them.
Has anyone experienced an issue like this?
Any help is appreciated thanks.
I have seen this issue in the past with XML export. This may help:
Select the column, then open the Properties panel (you can also hit F4 as a shortcut)
Change the DataElementName attribute
Try export to CSV again
You didn't specify which version of SSRS you are using. This is a screenshot in Visual Studio 2010 / SSRS 2012:

I have a strange issue..., I was not able to see any updates made to my SSRS Report RDL in the Dynamics CRM, no luck even after changing the parameters and changing the details available in the report table.
After this when deployed to Dynamics CRM, it still shows me the old report, however this does open in my local in visual studio with the appropriate changes made...I am on Dynamics 365 9.0 version online.
Please let me know if there is any hack or trick to overcome this...I am struggling from last one day...couldn't find any proper fix for this online...
Kindly suggest....
Followed the below steps to solve the issue...posting here as it could help someone searching for this...
1.are you sure you are uploading the correct RDL file
2. Clean the VS Solution
3. Reload the project
4. Then rebuild the project in release mode, take the RDL from the release folder.
5. Delete the existing report and reload the one from Release folder and that's it.
I have around 10 SSRS reports (i.e. 10 .rdl files) and those needs to be exported to one PDF. How can I do this? Do I need to write custom C#.Net code or SSDT 2017 provides any simple feature to export that?
Please note that, all the RDL files has different header and footer, The 1st page has image in it,few pages has both tabular as well as matrix report.
As suggested, I have one main report and I'm adding sub-report one after another (just maintain the sequence)
I searched on MSDN, however, it looks like Microsoft does not have such feature till now OR may be I'm missing something? Or any special setting or .Net code needs to be written?
Note: I have two version of SSDT (2016 and 2017)
You could just create a master report and then put your 10 reports in that as subreports.
If you reports take a parameters then all the parameters will have to be setup in the master report and then passed to the sub report.
Then, just run the master report and export to PDF...
In Microsoft Visual Studio when i run a Report using a Preview the data is showing and when the same report i run from server side its not showing the same data as per the Visual Studio Preview
please suggest
Visual Studio caches locally data in order to reduce the generation time for design puroposes, it will only update the data if you change the parameters values so if your report doesn't have any parameter you will get old data.
To refresh Visual Studio data preview the report and press the refresh button inside the generated report.
Let me know if this can help you.
I had a very similar problem. When I previewed on VS 2015, everything displayed perfect, but when I deployed to my server successfully, only one field wasn't showing up.
What ended up working was changing my report data sets from shared to embedded. Even though they were referencing the same query, somehow there was a disconnect when referencing the shared data set rather than embedding it directly in the report.
This is a very strange and perplexing problem I have never run across. I am working on an SSRS report that feeds off a database. I use an SSIS extraction package to append data to a table in said database. Everything seemed to work fine until the first time I updated the table. I can see the new data in SSMS, but the report looks like it is only seeing the data I had in there prior to the update. I've restarted Visual Studio, checked the connection string, and checked my dataset queries and I have no clue why the report is doing what it's doing.
If you are editing the report in Visual Studio, yes, it can be overly aggressive about caching the results of queries.
Look in the Solution folder (in file explorer, not Visual Studio) and look for a file with the name of the report, but .data appended, such as Report1.rdl.data.
Delete that file, which you can do while VS is running. Then preview the report again.
I'm using Microsoft Reporting Services (MSRS) 2008. Currently I'm designing reports that can be rendered both as PDF and Exel, which works fine in general.
If I define a footer in the designer, I'll see it in PDF and do not see it on the Excel sheet.
Although when I print out the Excel file, the footer is there again (in the page preview also).
Is there any way to tell MSRS to hide/not include the footer if Excel is chosen as output format? I want to have it in PDF and I don't want it in Excel. Designing two reports would be a way to achieve that, but a most unconvenient one.
In sql server 208 R2 you can achieve this behavior using the RenderFormat Global Variable. I don't think this is possible in prior versions.
