I am trying to get the min() and max() date of the current query to display on the Page Header section.
My textbox is as follows
="Range date: " & Min([myDate]) & " to " & Max([myDate])
I am getting the #Error message on Access 2010 (MS Access 2003 file format, .mdb).
AFAIK, you can't use those in the page header, but you can use them in a group header/footer and in report header/footer. And you can force new page in a group headre/footer.
Otherwise, you will need a report level variable that you increment in the Detail_Format section, and that you reset in the PageHeaderSection_Format.
You could also have a control in the page header that refers to the one in the group header. That might be the easiest solution.
In the page header, you will need DMin and DMax, as far as I recall.

If I needed this, I'd tend to put it in the report's Recordsource, and then the values would be available anywhere in the report.

I have inserted a page header and added a textbox with the expression =ReportItems!co_MainContact.value. This is the address that I want repeated in each page. For some reason, the address is printed on the first page, but not in the next few pages. Is there a reason why this data doesn't show up? I have a logo and a title in the header page and they're showing up in subsequent pages.
The co_MainContact expression is:
=Fields!co_Address1.Value & vbcrlf + Fields!co_City.Value & ", " & Lookup(Fields!co_ProvinceId.Value,Fields!pc_id.Value, Fields!pc_ProvCode.Value, "Province") & ", "& Fields!co_PostalCode.Value & vbcrlf & "Voice: "&Fields!co_MainContact.Value + " Fax: "& Fields!co_FaxNumber.Value & vbcrlf & "Toll Free: "&Fields!co_PhoneNumber.Value
Report Header properties are default settings and I'm using MS report builder 15.0.19440.0
Without seeing your full report design it's hard to say, if this does not help, please post a screen shot of your full report design, include all grouping as this is usually an important factor.
I would guess you are referencing a textbox that only appears on the first page. References to ReportItems don't work in the same way as referencing Fields.
So I would think you have a few options...
Option 1: Change the header expression
Change the expression in the header to be similar to the expression of the co_MainContact textbox but specify the scope as the dataset.
something like
=FIRST(Fields!co_Address1.Value, "myDataSetName") & vbcrlf + FIRST(Fields!co_City.Value , "myDataSetName") & .... etc... etc
NOTE: the dataset name is case sensitive and must be enclose in quotes.
Option 2: Add a calculated field to your dataset
For a cleaner report you could add a new field to your dataset, either in the dataset query, appending all the relevant columns, or you could add in to the dataset fields as a calculated field (from the dataset properties window).
Either way you will end up with a new column and you can reference that column directly in both the co_MainContact textbox (simply =Fields!myNewAddressColumn.Value) and also in your header. For the header you would use something like =FIRST(Fields!myNewAddressColumn.Value, "myDataSetName")
Hopefully one of these options will do the trick, if not post as much as you can, especially the report design.
I want to display page wise sum of 2 columns in footer.for that I am using following expression in footer
=Sum(ReportItems!col1.Value) + Sum(ReportItems!col2.Value)
but it gives following error
"The Value expression for the textrun refers to more than one report item. An expression in a page header or footer can refer to only one report item."
anybody knows how can I solve this issue and display page wise sum in footer ?
Thanks
Here is simple workaround for your problem:
Add single textbox to the body of the report and name it i.e. "SUM"
Add your expression to this textbox =ReportItems!col1.Value + ReportItems!col2.Value
For this textbox set visibility as hidden
In the footer refer to this hidden textbox using =ReportItems!SUM.Value
I usually use Custom code-feature of report for these operations. Just open Report Properties and choose Code-view. Just then write basic VB get/set-methods to save and sum values.
Referring to methods in TextBox expression goes just like this: =Code.[YourMethodNameHere].
For example, saving value:
=Code.SaveMyValue(Fields!MyVal.Value)
and getting value:
=Code.GetMyValue()
I want to use Globals!PageNumber in Report body part. How can I access inside Report body?
I am using SQL Server Reporting Service 2008 R2.
Create functions in the code under the report properties:
Page Number:
Function PageNumber() As String
Return Me.Report.Globals!PageNumber
End Function
Total Pages:
Function TotalPages() As String
Return Me.Report.Globals!TotalPages
End Function
Access it in the body via an expression:
=code.PageNumber & " of " & code.TotalPages
Check out Sample Usage of the Concat Function
Unfortunately in Reporting Services (up to RS2008), this will produce "Page 1 of 1" on every page. The problem is that the body is rendered before the header and footer, therefore the code cannot access the correct pagination, since it is determined AFTER all elements in the body.
If your report is basically a large table with predefined number of rows on each table, try using row_number in your SQL as a workaround to manually calculate page numbers: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqlreportingservices/thread/c2047eee-41a8-4d79-ae58-dbf60f6e7554/
you can't use page number in body. use it only in report footer or header.
For that you need to use Report variables:
Go to Report Menu from main Menu in Visual Studio, > Click on Report Properties > Add new variable - named as PageCount (Default value to 0)
Then inside header of footer create one textbox and set below expression,
=Variables!PageCount.SetValue(Variables!PageCount.Value+1)
It will automatically increase for each page.
NOTE: Do not hide it from header or footer, the SetValue will not work if you hide the box, so change the font of textbox to white color. (Do whatever you want but just do not hide it. Then you can use below expression to fetch pagenumber value inside report body.
=Variables!PageCount.Value
I have taken reference from this answer.
I have a SSRS report which is the snapshot or another report. It runs every day # 6 am. I want to add a header at the top of the report(snapshot), which indicates when the snapshot was taken so that the user knows when the snapshot was taken.
Does anyone know how can i do that?
if I truly understand your question :
you can add date or time of report processing by adding a textbox on header and write this expression as its value :
=TimeOfDay()
or
=Now()
Ususally you would use Globals!ExecutionTime to display this, but from my research, headers and footers are calculated when the report is rendered. A work around for this is to place the textbox (make it hidden) with Globals!ExecutionTime in it on the report body and then place another textbox in the header or footer which references that textbox like this: ReportItems!ReportBodyTextBoxName.Value.
Answer found on the following site:

The best way for me was to add an extra column to my dataset. e.g.:
SELECT COL1
,COL2
,...
,COLn
,SYSDATE AS EXEC_DAT
FROM ...
You can then use First(Fields!EXEC_DAT.Value, "DATASET_NAME") if the expression is in the header.
PS: SYSDATE works for Oracle, you'll have to determine the correct function for your RDBMS
I have a report with one group (Office Name) which page breaks between each group - so the data for only one Office can appear on a given page. How do I get that Office Name to appear in the page header?
I tried creating a hidden textbox in the details section of the report which has the Office Name value and then referencing that in the Page Header, but I get the last Office Name value on page 1 and then it is blank on every other page.
Today, at last I found another way to do this.
On the group that you specified the page break, in the properties window, expand the Group section.
See Pagination in Reporting Services (Report Builder and SSRS)
You can set the BreakLocation property in the Tablix Properties,
Rectangle Properties, or Group Properties dialog boxes, but you must
set the Disabled, ResetPageNumber, and PageName properties in the
Report Builder Properties pane.
You should see a PageName field. This field can be set to that of one of the field data values from the dataset used by the tablix.
Once you have set the PageName field, you can add a textbox to the Page Header/Footer and set the expression to use the PageName field. Built-in Globals and Users References (Report Builder and SSRS)
=Globals!PageName
This should then change on each group change, and be visible on each page.
I have realy struggled finding a good solution for this, so if I need to clear up the answer, please feel free to suggest this.
I got it to work and I'll post the answer in case someone else runs across this issue.
For some reason referencing the text box did not work, but when I put a hidden column in the table with the same value, I could then reference that in the Page Header.
I am actually doing this in the footer and it worked! Thanks! Just wanted to add if you have multiple values you are trying to display in the header or footer, you can string them together with a delimiter in the pagename expression like
=Fields!FIELD1.Value + "|" + Fields!FIELD2.Value + "|" + Fields!FIELD3.Value + "|" + Fields!FIELD4.Value
Then you can create new fields (one for each value) and parse out each field like
=(Split(Globals!PageName, "|")).GetValue(0)
=(Split(Globals!PageName, "|")).GetValue(1)
=(Split(Globals!PageName, "|")).GetValue(2)
=(Split(Globals!PageName, "|")).GetValue(3)
