I am working on SSRS Reports 2005. In the reports there are some columns like First Name, Last Name. I am changing there columns name to FirstName, LastName. After doing this while I am showing the preview of the report old field are reflected instead of new field. When i am view the XML of the report, I am able to view my changes in XML. So why i am not be able to view my changes in preview. Is any thing caching issue? how can i solve this issue. Please help me out.
SSRS has serious caching tendencies. In the Preview tab, you should right click your report and hit "Refresh". You may have to do that each time you change the report.

Need help on this as I'm quite new to using this Telerik Reporting tool.
I've configured my data source to point to the correct database and I've already set the query to be used to display the report. As you can see below, the data is shown in the preview data source result.
However when I preview it in the report designer, it is not showing any report data as seen below.
I need help on what to do in order to display the records in the report. I'm not sure where to check.
For company/Location you need to send ID=126 not name in preview window, same as in data source query.
I have a report for which there is sometimes no data to output. This report is run along with several other reports and all are then output to PDF. However, this report still produces the header and footer with a blank page even tho there is no data.
I can move the header and footer into the report and have tried to hide those elements with =if(rownumber("PersonalProfile")=0, True, False) in the Hidden property of those elements. It hides everything so now the page is blank, but it will will output a blank PDF. Is there a way to completely suppress the report?
I'm using 2008 and I don't see a Report Visibility property. All the data for the report is inside a single Tablix which is inside a rectangle.
There are 3 datasets: PersonalProfile which contains the meat of the data; BoardNames which just produces the name of the board for the report; BoardMeetings which allows the user to pick a date parameter.
If you are distributing your report using subscriptions and you have Enterprise Edition, then you can look at using Data Driven Subscriptions which will give you control over how and when reports are distributed based on whatever logic you need. Otherwise, there is no way to do what you are asking - as trubs says, Reporting Services must first render the report before it has any knowledge of whether there is any data to display.
You haven't explained how you are "running the reports" (e.g. manually in Report Manager, report subscription, third party app using URL access) - if you do perhaps someone can suggest a workaround.
There is no way to do what you want. ssrs has to produce the report in order to determine there is nothing to display.
I have a report to modify on SSRS (just to add a new column for the table that was created using a custom code function). The table was created using natural key and create "case". I added the natural column for the keys and when I previewed it in SSRS, everything looked perfect! However, when I uploaded it to the server, the report can only select partial selections from a drill-down field/widget. If I choose "select all" for the parameters, it flashes then nothing happens (neither an error message nor data is shown).
It was running fine and I was able to select all the selections for the report in Visual Studio and even extract it in Excel. I thought it was a credential problem, so I used my ID and password for the credentials, but it still did not work.
I tried to deploy the original report that was downloaded from the server, but it wasn't working (even without any changes).
Thank you.
An SSRS report has been created .The dataset has been defined on bases of a query.The query is
SELECT Organisation,
SUBSTRING(CONVERT(VARCHAR, dt_dt), 1, 11) AS Expr1,
CNT
FROM v_111_status
Every time I refresh the data in the view and run the ssrs report ,I can not see those changes reflected
on the SSRS reports!
When i fire the above query in SSMS , I can see the changes!
Is any of the dataset property has to be checked to get the data?
Did you try opening the dataset properties in SSRS and clicking "Refresh Fields". If you made changes which created new fields etc... you won't see them until you click "Refresh Fields".
If the problem isn't that you adding new columns etc... you should try refreshing the report.
In the preview tab click the refresh button and see if that helps:
If you're still seeing an issue try to delete any files in the report project solution folder that have an extension of .rdl.data, this file holds details that caches/save the data of the last time you ran the report locally. It is not an important file and will do no harm when you delete it.
Using Business Intelligence Development Studio, I am creating a report for SSRS that requires the user to add a few notes before being printed. The notes do not need to be sent back to the SQL Server that the report is being generated from, they just need to be included when the report is printed or exported. I have some other solutions including:
Exporting to Word for edit, then the user can manually publish to pdf & send
Including parameters for the note fields which involves pulling the report, then adding in the notes and lastly re-pulling the report again to include the data
But I really don't want to add the extra steps to the user's process unless necessary. Has anyone tried this before? I've been tinkering and searching and have had no luck.
Thanks in advance.
Input to an SSRS report comes from data sources and the parameters. Some server settings are applied, but all the per-report stuff is from either of those two places.
Based on the OP comment, I would add a text parameter that allows blank values. You can set a default value of ="" so that the report will run on first access. Then any text the users adds can be inserted into the report simply by referring to the parameter's value.(=Parameters!MyParam1.Value)
user is pulling the report first to analyze the data. So they would pull it once, then add the notes, and then pull the report again with the parameters added.
