I have made a report using the report wizard in MS Access. After generating the report I realized that I want to add another value from table (the table is already being used within the report) that I did not include in the report wizard when I generated the report. I have tried adding the new value using the control source option, but it has failed to show up. Please assist in any way you can! Thank you so much for your time. The value I want to add is in table 'tblAuthor' value 'Genre'.
Open the report in design view and check the Record source for the table. If it is a query, you can use the three dots (...) to edit it and ensure it includes Genre. If it is a table, presumably Genre is included. You can then use Add Existing Fields to add a control to the report.

I need to create student certificate using SSRS. I created new .rdl file did designed and associated with data source.
It works for single student as expected. But it does not creates report with multiple certificate while my data source returns multiple student details.
I am new for SSRS, please help me out to achieve this.
If you want to generate a certificate for each row of your dataset in the same report, you can do this with a tablix:
Add a Tablix to you your report that lists your dataset data
Drag a Rectangle into one of the Details row cells
Make the cell you dragged the Rectangle into large enough to hold all your
certificate report items
Select all your certificate items and move them into the Rectangle
Update any references to your dataset to not include a 'scope'
ie: Change =sum(Fields!ColName.Value, "Your Dataset") to =sum(Fields!ColName.Value)
Run the report
You should now have a certificate for each row in your dataset.
If you want to export multiple separate certificates, you will need to set up a data driven subscription on your report, that runs it once for each row of a returned dataset. Obviously you will need to adjust your report to be able to receive which student to generate the certificate for as a parameter.
Another way is.. if your data set is returning one row per student, then all you need to do you on your tablix is to add a parent row group.. group on StudentID.. or something unique per record.. go to group properties and add a page break at end of group. This should generate one certificate page per student..
You may need to adjust group headings and footer and things like that appear.. You will figure it out... alternatively.. watch a youtube video on how to do a basic ssrs report.
I have a subreport call StudentSub.rdl. This is linked with DataSet (stored procedure) Sp_GetStudentName(#ClassNo int). This works fine it gives always only one certificate.
Since I wanted to generate class wise certifiacte, in that case I wanted to get muliple report page wise in one PDF file. Followed below steps:
Created new RDL file called StudentReports.rdl
Linked with same data set stored procedure Sp_GetStudentName.
Drag a table from tool box to design body.
Set visibility False for table Header and some columns except one td.
Right clicked in that box (td) and inserted sub report
Right clicked sub report properties selected StudentSub subreport.
In the sub report properties added parameter ClassNo then clicked Ok.
Now When I am previewing this StudentReports by passing class no. I am getting correct number of pages.
Hope this will help others.
Thanks!
I need to add a filter to a Report, that within anotherreport, the filtered results appear in the drilldown report.
For example: An .rdl file displays the first report, in that report a link can be clicked to access another report (.rdl) file. The report that displays after clicking link should be filtered by option selected from the first report(.rdl).
How could this be done? My thought that two datasets in each report could provide the information for the filter, however the filter expression is not valid this way...? I know this may not be the best way to do this.
So creating a drilldown report would be more acceptable. Creating one report and including a dataset with it by setting parameters to be called in the drilldown.
Does there need to be two datasets for each report to do this? I was assuming that the filter expression be written to do this: Field!.name.value AND Field!.name.value, etc to the whatever value I need to compare to or by.
Could this be a shared dataset to do this?
I was able to solve or partially solve this. I created a new report, with a query with the necessary columns that I needed in report 2. The drillthrough report(report 2) is linked from a textbox from a report allowing a user to view the information they need by clicking a link that displays the new report(passing the parameters from report 2 to the new report). If anyone has trouble with this, the simplest way would be to create one report and pass parameters to report two with parameters created from whatever query you want to use that has the values you want as columns in the report.
I have a report ("rptEstimate") used as part of a larger program that runs in Access. This report has a text field, with the expression =Nz([txtTaxTotal],0)+Nz([txtSubTotal],0). Where can I find the value for txtTaxTotal and txtSubTotal? Is there some way to see which tables are linked to a specific report?
I'm looking to export those values to a spreadsheet, probably via Excel VBA but I need to isolate them first.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Look for the record source of the report. In design view, you will find it on the property sheet on the data tab. In addition, check for a control on the report called txtSubTotal, this may be bound to a field from the record source. You can select the name of a control on the property sheet, and the control itself will be highlighted.
I am new to Microsoft access, and I am trying to make a report from the data in 2 tables. I am using text boxes and setting the control source to the value from the table in the property sheet. All but one works fine, the one from the other table. The the value pops up with a "Enter Parameter Value" then the name of the main table when I switch to report view. The control source for the text box is "=[Main table]![Due date]" I made it with the little Expression maker in Expression builder. What am I doing wrong?
I found something close but it did not help me fix it link.
A form/report can only have one Record Source. Create a query that combines the two into a single query, and then use that as the form/report's Record Source.
If you are creating a form and you want the underlying table to be editable, join the tables together and make sure each of them has a primary key.
I created a report using wizard and while creating I selected 4 columns for ordering data in ascending orders. It asked for 4 columns and chose 4 columns and after creation I want to change the preference of the second column to other one. How can I do that??
I cannot see anything in the report query or anywhere else
Ignore any ordering in your report's query source. You can discard your ORDER BY from the query because the Access report will use whatever settings you give it for "Sorting and Grouping" instead.
In Access 2003, with your report in design view, choose View -> Sorting and Group from the Access main menu. If your version of Access is different, look for a similar option.
I should think its just as quick to re-run the whole report. However you can edit the Query that the report is built on.
Or make a query, then get the report to run from the query, this means you can easily change it.
