We have a requirement where user have no pointing device, user must use SSRS report manager to view report with keyboard only, but I am unable to select values for a multi-valued parameters, I managed to pop up the list, but when I press tab, focus moves to next parameters instead of going into the list of multi-valued parameter.
I tried many different keyboard combinations, but none is working. Also checked for any option on parameter itself, but did not find anything.
Is there anything I can do to resolve this problem.
This is a question you dont hear every day - I presume this is for accessability reasons?
I think you are at the mercy of your browser here. The following seems to work on IE9:
tab to the drop-down arrow and press space to drop down the list
press shift-tab then tab - this should get you to the (Select All) row.
use tab and shift-tab to scroll up and down the list
use space to select / unselect each row in the list
use tab or shift-tab to scroll off the end of the list
note your focus is now on the Show/Hide Parameters button (odd). You can tab or shift-tab from there to the next parameter.

Right now I have a report that is generated by clicking a button on a form. The criteria for the report is what the user selects in a combo box. That works fine, but when I click on the report in the navigation pane, it tells me to enter "Forms!Adjudication!Combo21" because that is the criteria it uses on the form. I was wondering if I can change that to say something like "Enter release event" that will show up when I click on the report in the navigation pane, but also leave the option to generate the report through the form?
well since your query is looking for that combo field, when the form is closed, it wont find it. however, the query is already prompting you to enter a value, so you can just enter a value in that box and it will work fine. no need to over do this. if you are looking to change the label to "Enter Release event", then consider changing the combo box's name on the form Adjudication to something that will make sense to the user, like instead of "Combo21", change it to "ReleaseEvent". That way the prompt should return "Forms!Adjudication!ReleaseEvent".
sure you can do more here to, but like i said, probably not necessary to over complicate this.
There is a report contains 1000s of pages of data.Is there any way to make a button on the first page of the report so that ,if click on the button it goes to the end of the pages.
Is there any expression to be written,with out writing the vb.net code?
There is a button like that in SSRS (you can also type page number in the box and press enter):
EDIT:
You can add a bookmark at the end of your report and then make a textbox which will jump to it (textbox properties->Action->mark "go to bookmark" and select the bookmark you made. I am not sure, however, if it works well in excel.
Web viewer control, this button already exists.
I don't believe you can add a button to SSRS and export to Excel to go to last row.
You can use Excel command to go to last cell which should work.
Refer to [http://office.microsoft.com/en-ca/excel-help/excel-shortcut-and-function-keys-HP010073848.aspx][1]
CTRL+G
Displays the Go To dialog box.
F5 also displays this dialog box.
Click on "Special..." button and select "Last Cell" option and click OK
Sorry .. Tried posting images for you but not enough points to do so.
There are 2 ways of reaching the last page or the data on the last page:
Sol 1. #kyooryu has already mentioned above in his solution along with a screenshot.
Sol 2. You can freeze the header and set the display result to show the data on a single page. This way you will not have multiple pages and you can directly hit the end button from keyboard on the report manager to reach the bottom result set. Freezing the header will help you in identifying the column names.
I'm fairly new to microsoft access and i'm currently designing a database for my company but I'm having some trouble trying to get the tab control to work properly. The problem is whenever it navigates through all the pages, when it reaches the last field to fill in, it goes to the next record but stays in the last page, it doesn't 'reset' back to the first page so it follows a logical order.
HansUp offered a good suggestion in his comment, but you may not want to unconditionally SetFocus the first tab in OnCurrent because that could cause the tab focus to switch as users navigate from one record to another using the record selector buttons. There could be cases where the users might find that annoying.
Instead, you might want to use the LostFocus event of the final field to manipulate a flag that would allow OnCurrent to SetFocus the first tab when the user moves to a new record by "falling off the end" of the previous record, but leave the tab focus alone if the user is just stepping through the records.
Apparently this should have been simple. After lots of digging, I'm yet to find anything that works. I have a row group in my SSRS report whose visibility is toggled by a textbox. What I want is to have the text Show in the textbox when it's collapsed, and Hide when it's expanded.
But I can't find any property of the group that can give me its toggle state. I have found in a few forums that it's not possible. As a workaround, I've tried the InScope() function ( as suggested in http://forums.asp.net/t/1601570.aspx/1). But to no avail. Can anyone suggest anything?
I believe you are correct in stating that SSRS does not expose the ToggleState property for use in the report.
In these types of situations, I use report parameters to control the state of the report. For example, you could add a parameter named isGroupVisible to the report with a default value of 1 to represent visible. Set your group's visibility to that parameter, and set your text box value conditioned on the state of isGroupVisible. Then in the text box you set your actions to be go to a report, and set the report url to be the same report with the isGroupVisible = to the opposite of what it currently is.
You can decorate your text box all you want to give the users the indication that it can be pressed to toggle the state of the report.
Draw backs to this approach is that it isn't as snappy as the ajax calls SSRS does to expand visibility--it will post back to the server on each toggle press.
Advantages to this approach include much more flexibility in controlling the state of the report.
I was wondering if someone can tell me how I can hide a row in a matrix on an SSRS 2005 report. I have tried hiding the specific TextBoxes, but when I do that, I still get whitespace where the TextBoxes would appear, which is pretty worthless.
According to research I have done online, there is supposed to be a visibility/hidden property when I right click the row header and go to properties, but I don't see that there. Below is a link to a screenshot of what I get for the properties:
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/696/ssrs.jpg
Where do I find this property? When I expanded all the groups, I didn't see anything related to visibility.
Is it possible to hide this row bases on an expression? Please let me know.
Thanks
New users apparently cannot answer their own questions without waiting 8 hours. It said to use the edit function instead. I'll marked this as answered later.
I think I found what I was looking for. I got the desired result anyway. Since I hate coming to posts and seeing "Thanks, I figured it out" without any other detail...
Right Click on the Matrix, that is to say, right click on the dotted line with the resizing handles that outlines the matrix. After that click properties. This should bring up a Matrix Properties dialog box. Go the Groups tab (5th over). To change the visibility of a row/column, click the "Edit" button. This brings up another dialog box. Visibility is the 4th tab.
Hope that saves someone a headache.
