In my SSRS report, I am getting texts to fill a table from a dataset (SQL Query).
There is a particular line of text from the query that I'd like to be displayed center (i.e. justify center).
Is this possible?
You need to identify the row in some way but it can be done because everything in Reporting Services is an expression. So let's say you want the first row to be centered and bold. You would enter an expression for the TextAlign property like:
=IIF(RowNumber(Nothing) = 1, "Center", "Left")
and for the Font-FontWeight property like:
=IIF(RowNumber(Nothing) = 1, "Bold", "Normal")
Select the object or cell you want the text justification to apply to, then either:
click the "Center" button the toolbar (shown as a image of stacked horizontal lines, in the same toolbar as the font settings)
click on the Properties window and edit the TextAlign property, setting it to "Center"

The textbox data is going to next page. I need to get border at bottom for textbox in 3rd page and border at top for textbox in 4th page. I don't want to use KEEP IT TOGETHER and BODY BORDER of ssrs report
In SSRS 2008 and 2012 you can conditionally set the border style property by using an expression.
First, you have to access to the PageNumber Global variable of the report. However you cannot access to this variable from body but only from Page Header and Page Footer. There is a workaround for access it from wherever of your report though.
Go to Report menu, Report Properties... and Code Tab
Put the following code
Function PageNumber() As String
Return Me.Report.Globals!PageNumber
End Function
Now you can access page number in order to conditionally set the border style property.
In the textbox properties, Border property put the below expressions.
For bottom border in 3rd page use this expression in the Bottom property:
=IIF(Code.PageNumber = 3,"Solid","None")
For top border in 4th page use in the Top property:
=IIF(Code.PageNumber = 4,"Solid","None")
Now the textbox border will appear on bottom in the 3rd page and top on 4th.
Let me know if this was helpful.
I have a chart in SSRS with horizontal and vertical axis. The chart is as shown in the figure below. I need to add some calculated labels (marked with black) on top of the chart (example is from Excel). How can this be done in SSRS charts?
Labels and smart labels won't work in this case because of the series. It will show values for each group (ex: red, blue, yellow). I just want it once in the totals.
In a nutshell:
Create a second dataset that fetches the values you want for the Data Labels
Select the Series in the Chart and in the Properties pane going to Labels, then set UseValueAsLabel = False
Set the "Label" property to be a LookUp() that fetched the appropriate value from my second dataset
Use the "Visible" property to hide the labels for the other series so that they no longer show.
You can then change the label position to force them at the top of the columns
I found that the best way is to create a new chart (ex: Line Chart)
with value 0.
Then select Secondary Axis for the Horizontal Axis.
Set the Data Point --> Axis Label to whatever you want.
I'm using Report Builder 3.0 and trying to figure out if i can break out one datafield with the few values I need for my bar chart. The data looks like this;
[[44278,47411],[{"name":"$41,000/year goal","y":41000}],["",""]]
I want bar 1 to be the 44,278 value, bar 2 to be the 47,411 value and the 41000 to be embedded as a goal. I've attached a screenshot of how we have it working with other grid and charting products, but this is going to be embedded in a much more in-depth SSRS report. Any sort of help would be great as i'm new to the whole SSRS reporting system.
You can do this with a custom StripLine:
Right-click the vertical chart axis and click Vertical Axis Properties.
The axis properties are displayed in the Properties window.
In the Appearance section of the Properties pane, for the StripLines property, click the Edit Collection (…) button to open the ChartStripLine Collection Editor.
Click Add to add a new strip line to the collection.
Click StripWidth to specify the width of the strip line. If your goals will fluctuate, you might want to make it relative to your Goal e.g. =Fields!YourGoalField.Value/100
Set the StripWidthType property to Number.
Set the InvervalOffset value to =Fields!YourGoalField.Value.
Set the IntervalOffsetType value to Number.
More on StripeLines: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd239316.aspx
EDIT To get the Goal Label outside the Chart Area as depicted, we have to do a sort of hack:
Delete the StripLine Title as there is no way to get that outside the Chart Area.
Right Click the Chart and select Add New Title.
On your new Chart Title's Properties Pane
Set the Docking Position to Right Center.
Set the TextOrientation to Horizontal.
Adjust the Font style and color to match your spec.
Set the Caption Expression to =Format(Fields!YourGoal.Value,"$0,000") & "/year goal"
Here is where the hack comes in. In order to get the Goal label to line up with the Goal Line, you need to add a certain number of carriage return/line feeds to your Caption Expression. To do this, append & vbcrlf to the Caption Expression a bunch of times and keep testing until it lines up. You might also want to adjust the DockingOffset property to move the Label closer to the Chart Area.
I have a report with a table in it. And each table cell has borders around it.
The problem I'm experiencing is that if I hide the textbox in any of the cells, the borders also disappear.
I want the textbox to hide but still show the borders.
The textbox in question shows the visibility toggle icons (+/-) so I can't use an iif statement to change the textbox's value to be an empty string when I don't want to see anything in it.
You can place the textbox inside a rectangle.
***So , I was having this same issue:* **
The Problem:
I assume that you placed a border around your text box and decided to place the hide and toggle element to your text box. or your Rows are not stepped down. Two solutions, I think the first solution is what you are looking for:
Solution 1:
I Noticed that SRSS reporting also has this grouping feature by rows. So to hide the text in the textbox without losing borders is to create a step-down feature within the grouping. So basically you can assign hide text box property without disturbing the rows above the textbox. This may be a better solution.
Solution 2:
You must instead place the border attribute to your text box and place the hide and toggle function on the individual groups. So for you, you have to remove the hide + toggle feature on the textbox. Right click the group element in your "rows" or "columns" and assign your drilldown hide + toggle feature on the group elements. In other words: "group properties" not "text box properties"
I hope this re-solve your issue.
I ran into the same issue. I solved it by changing the text color to white (or whatever the background color of the textbox is). I was doing this inside a table, and couldn't find a way to insert a textbox inside of a rectangle as stated in the other answer...
I had similar problem and used similar approach like #Anony Mous, but instead of changing text color to background color I used expression to change text value =IIF(InScope("RowGroup") = "True", Fields!Textboxvalue.Value, "") - and it works as expected.
Problem with background color change is that, if user unintendely select the text and makes it active, it become visible.
Just select the Textbox in question, run F4 (to access to the properties chart at the right side of VS or SQL), select the HideDuplicates dropdown and Select the Data Set that you are using :)
Using Access 2003. On a subreport I have arranged a row of text boxes that will be populated with dynamic data. (These will appear as column headers on a master report.) Due to report constraints, the text boxes are tall and somewhat thin; some incoming strings will be longer than other strings; strings are expected to wrap when necessary. Presently, each of these text boxes is bottom-aligned.
What I am looking for is a way to force the text in each of these boxes to be bottom-aligned, to grow upward as it were. As we know, Excel natively allows bottom alignment in a cell; I do not see that Access offers a similar capability. Any hints? A VBA technique maybe? Thanks.
TonBill,
You can use VBA to set TopMargin property of each textbox to a certain value; TopMargin will "move" text down towards the bottom. You will have to calculate each TopMargin based on how many characters including spaces fit in one line of each textbox. Not a great solution, but may work.
I don't think there is a configuration option in Access for bottom text alignment.
See this: http://www.eggheadcafe.com/software/aspnet/35318427/how-can-i-bottom-align-te.aspx
Since its a report. Check out the CanGrow property
If you have the text bottom aligned, just set the CanGrow Property for all the textboxes, and the textbox will dynamically grow to fit the text in the report.
Here is some info on the CanGrow property:
