Good Afternoon All
I use SSRS all the time and when making reports i normally insert a placeholder at the title, so whenever i write anything in a specific parameter, it will show on the placeholder using the tool tip.
I have now gone onto selecting multiple items on my parameter and the problem that i am getting is that the placeholder can only show one of many i selected, i have been trying to find out how i can use the placeholder to show all items i select, but had no luck at all.
Could you help me in the situation that i am in...

How to select a State(link) on SSRS report and pass that selection to a website(URL) and have it dynamically retrieve that State on that website. This will display the Facilities in that State information.
So I have searched high and low and I keep finding variations of this question but nothing exactly like this. Is it possible?
The expression is something like this:
="http://hcaxxxxxcare.com/locations/?state="& Fields!State.Value
It looks like you already know what you need to do with link to add the state to it from the STATE field:
="http://hcaxxxxxcare.com/locations/?state=" & Fields!State.Value
To use it, you'd have an object (probably a table) where you display the state name as the expression.
Then add an ACTION to the text box to Go to URL with your expression:
="http://hcaxxxxxcare.com/locations/?state=" & Fields!State.Value
You were correct it was a silly space. I can't believe it but thank you!!
I have a SSRS (.rdl) report with a tablix whose details group is set to put a page break between group items, reset the page number and set the page name (as per http://blogs.msdn.com/b/robertbruckner/archive/2010/04/25/report-design-reset-page-number-on-group.aspx).
This works correctly when rendered to HTML or as a PDF.
When rendered to Word the page numbers do not reset and the page name never changes (the page name is always the value set on the first page). The page breaks work as expected.
I have read (at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd283105.aspx#ReportHeadersFooters) that complex expressions must be converted into runs of simple expressions in order to display correctly when exporting to Word. I have done this but the problem persists.
Is there any way to make the tablix group reset page number and page name functionality work when exporting to Word?
If not is there a way of achieving the same effect when exporting a report to Word from SSRS?
This is an older question but recently ran into this issue myself so it might help someone else.
There are a lot of examples out there that use casting in the examples for the page number display (CStr or ToString()). Whenever I invoked those methods, the counts would be off when exporting to Word (either doc or docx).
The only way I could get it to work is with three separate text boxes in the footer with these expressions:
=Globals!PageNumber
"of"
=Globals!TotalPages
Avoid the use of those other approaches. Three separate text boxes was the only way I could get this to work.
I want to show a placeholder in a ComboBox if no values has yet been selected or the previously selected one has been removed / deselected. For single-column ComboBoxes that works like a charm using #;"My placeholder" as the Format of the ComboBox. So far so good.
The problem starts if my ComboBox has more than one column. How can you set the placeholder value for a multi-column ComboBox? More general: How can you specify the Format for a multi-column ComboBox?
Is it for example possible to color the first column green and the second one red? And if it is possible, please tell me how.
I could not find any specification on how to set the format for multiple columns. Neither on MSDN nor on support.office.com.
P.S.: I do not care if a working solution relies on VBA or if it can achieved just by entering something in the layout or design view.
Sounds like you are outgrowing what a ComboBox can easily provide in Access.
First, combo options, and then my real suggestion.
Here are your ComboBox options:
Try conditional formatting, and see if you can get the combo's text box to change color if the value is null.
You could make a UNION query that appends your placeholder record to the top of your Combo's real recordsource
You could try to get your users used to the idea of 'blank' = null, and fix it with training.
I have never seen a way to do different combo column colors in Access.
My REAL suggestion:
Ditch the combo and go with a modal dialog form that pops up for the user. This will let you format everything much more closely to what you want.
You can put textboxes on your main form to display the placeholders.
The user clicks on the textbox to open your dialog form.
We have several RDL's that that are designed using textbox's to display data as a document to be converted to PDF or printed directly. There is no table involved in the RDL's. I am trying to get one of the RDL's to display multiple documents by passing a dataset of multiple DocumentId but it only appears to display the first document. I figure there must be a setting to force a page break on the actual dataset or page itself but I have not found one yet. Does anyone know of such a feature of SSRS 2008?
I would recommend putting the textbox in lists and have the list group on Documentid. This should fix your issue. If you want it to be shown on a separate page you should be able to select page break between groups.
Im creating a report in RS2008.
Everytime I create a textbox and write an expression, instead of watching the expression text after I change focus of the element I get the following tag: <<Expr>>.
I'm used to creating reports on RS2005 and if in a textbox I wrote ="Hello", for example, once I change focus it will display ="Hello" not <<Expr>>.
Its probably a setting but I can't find how to change it.
I don't think you can change this - it's by design in SSRS 2008.
I would say the reasoning behind it is that you can now have multiple placeholders in one Textbox and it's easier to represent with multiple <<Expr>> values:
For text and basic field values, these will not have <<Expr>> displayed.
If you change basic text from ="Hello" to just Hello that's what will be displayed in the designer:
And an expression like =Fields!val1.Value will be displayed like this in the designer:
It's jarring at first but you get used to it.
