Empty cell values in column after publishing report - reporting-services

I have a report in SSRS (BIDS) that shows seven different columns. First one shows name. The other shows some data in number/currency format. All data comes from same dataset. All data shows when viewing in preview. Then i publish and try so show it, all columns shows data except the first, the one with name... The columns that shows are exactly the same number as names so no problem there, it´s like the names are invisible. Has any one experienced this before?

I had to change the fields from where the dataset get it´s data. I changed my name to only "dimension path" + ".[MEMBER_UNIQUE_NAME]. Then i added a new query field with field source ending with ".[MEMBER_CAPTION], see picture. Then i used the "member_caption field to show in column.
Now it works both in BIDS and in external environment.

Blank data being displayed in Report preview for few rows which has length greater than 38 (The data type is Varchar(60))

I'm having an issue with report preview in Reporting services.
Blank data being displayed in Report preview only for few rows which have a length greater than 38( the data type for the field is Varchar(60)).) But in SQL Server able to see the data. Even the Query designer in the data set also displays the expected data. When I preview the report, then, for few rows it is displaying the blank value. I tried refreshing the data set/ adding a new field (given a new name) and used the source field for this new field/Changed font size /added new tablix and tried out/added new data set and tried out. But nothing worked out. Still, it is displaying blank data for a few rows. Can anyone pls. help with getting out of this issue?
Thanks, #BJones & #Alan Schofield for trying it out. I found the solution for this. Actually, in server1 the value is blank and in the server2 the values are set up. The report runs based on the server1. So, only it was displaying the blank data. Actually, there are no issues with the report design or logic. It fully depends on the environment it runs on. Anyhow the issues solved now. I'm happy for that.

ssrs export to excel tab names on empty tablix

I have a report with multiple tablixes each nestled in separate rectangles I have the page break set and page name assigned in each tablix. The problem appears that if a tablix has no data the excel tab shows the table header but the tab name appears to hold from the prior tab name. For example I get Summary ta, labor tab equipment tab and equipment(2) tab because the table following equipment is empty.
So the report is pretty much a data dump with multiple tablixes that represent different data, for for example safety, quality, etc. The tablixes are inside separate rectangles.
I created separate datasets for each tablix that gets the table name. The table name is a translation for the language that name is to render, English, Spanish, etc.
I created a parameter for each table tab name that now holds the name for the table tab.
I set each tablix pagename to the corresponding parameter.
Now when I export to Excel each tab has the appropriate tab name in the appropriate language.
I had the same issue. Here's what I did to solve it:
Had a check in sql if count of rows is 0 then 'NA' will be the value for all columns; otherwise original values from table.
In SSRS, I am going to hide the text box if it has a value "NA".
You can try to hide the entire row in ssrs if the value is "NA". But its not going to work. Hiding the individual text box will work for sure.
Condition to hide: IIF(Fields!columnname="NA",true,false)
After all these steps if you export to excel it will show the group name you have given.

SSRS change default DataSet

I have an SSRS report with a dataset from a certain database. I've gone to the trouble of creating a query that (hopefully) imports the data from a more accurate source. What I want to do is potentially delete the first source, and then use the second source. However the only thing I've found online tells me I must:
=First(Field!MyField.Value,"Better Source")
I really just want to try to switch everything out.
If you added a new/replaced the current DataSet with the new query, you can change the column names to match the ones in the current Tablix/Matrix (the same Aliases/names within the Query Designer).
That way, your fields will be within the DataSet and you will see Fields!Myfield.Value instead of First(Fields!Myfield.Value)
Let me know if that helps

SSRS Report matching parent/child data incorrectly

I am having an odd issue with SSRS. I built a report that works correctly when filtered down to a single part number in the underlying data set query. When I take that filter off so that all data is displayed on the report, it does not work correctly. In the latter instance, all of the child details display incorrectly (and randomly) under a single part number.
First case, when filtered to a single part number... all looks good and report works correctly:
Second case, after taking filter off so that all data comes through... All of the part numbers show no detail, except randomly one part number will show all of the detail:
I have been unable to figure out what is causing this confusing behavior... Any tips?
Thanks!!!

#NAME in Access report expression

I have an Access 2007 report which has a table as a data source. I have a few columns of data that directly pull data from the table in a summarized way (using report groups) and the last column is the total of the first 6 columns. Simple enough.
Now the expression that calculates the sum of those 6 columns sometimes returns #NAME? and sometimes does not. I have more than triple-checked for any error, typo, whatever.
There is no space in front of my expression;
The expression does start with an =;
The references to columns in the table are all valid;
No control has a name even remotely similar to any column in the source table;
I have tried generating the expression using the expression builder;
There is no conditional formatting tied to any control;
There is no VBA code used at all in generating the report.
Also, sometimes if I copy the one of the boxes with #NAME?, delete it and paste it back then all the #NAME? errors disappear. Then I save and reopen the report and the errors are back.
I'm out of ideas for this. I can't post screenshots or distribute the file due to its nature.
Thanks !
I had similar problems...The solution was that I have used unicode characters in Names. For example a Text Box with the control source "dataščž" had the Name "datačšž". This was working in previous versions of Access, but not anymore. Changing the Name "datacsz" solved the problem.
