What is Drill-up, Drill-down and Drill- through in SSRS. Any steps how to implement in SSRS means in report wizard.
Thanks in Advance.
I don't think there is a concept Drill-up.
The Drill-Through in SSRS is a technique where you want to link a one report (Master Report) to other report. In a real worl reporting if some one want to see the Salary Slip (SalarySlip report) of an employee from employee list (EmployeeList) Report, Then there should be a link on employee Name where pop up of salary slip report displayed on cliking.
For further detail see the following link for drill through

for drill down see the following link

There is no concept like Drill-Up in SSRS...
Below are the links which explain step-by-step approach for drill down and drill through..

As the others have said, Drill-Up isn't really there, but if you want to be able to navigate back to a certain report (beyond just the back button) you can have links back to it but you will need to keep track of your parameters which may mean passing them down to the drill down and then back to the 'drill-up'
The other option, which I have used, is to user the 'Go to URL' option and force your drill down report to open in a new tab. Then you can have a link to close it, or just tell the user to press the cross, and the 'parent' report is still there.
If you do use the URL option there are some globals that can help - Globals!ReportServerUrl, Globals!ReportFolder etc.

I want to design a report where Report1 has a table1 and column1 of table1, should display the complete detail of that column on OnClick event. can I show 2 linked reports in one report based on the onclick event? if so how?
I tried using Subreport concept but that didn't work. Tried Bookmark but got rejected by the client also tried using go to report option but that open up in either different or same window but replace the existing report and to see your previous report I have to click on go back button. last option which I can think of is combine them in asp.net page.
As you noticed, the "go to" options on a textbox forces you to navigate away from the report and into a new report.
As Strawberryshrub mentioned, would a toggle option work for you? Here is a simple example of that:

Report Collapsed:

I added a new report to my SSRS project by right-clicking the Reports folder and selecting "Add New Report"
After selecting a sahred data source, the Report Wizard dialog displayed. I clicked through to the query page and added my custom SQL. The next page allowed me to determine where the fields returned from the query would be located in the report.
However, whether I put all of the fields in the "Displayed Fields" box or all but one, putting that one in the "Group" box, I cannot proceed - the "Finish" button is not active.
What must I do to be able to move on and proceed with the wizardification of the report?
I can reproduce this by attempting to create a matrix report. Matrix reports require at least 1 column,1 row and 1 detail line. Tabular reports don't have this requirement.
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.
Is it possible to add a report description (text) near the parameters area, before the report is run in the Report Builder 3.0. Essentially, when the users click the report and right before they run it, I want to provide them with a small description of what the report does and what the parameters. I can do that in the footer but it wont help, because the footer is only generated after the report has executed. Please let me know.
Thanks.
This is not possible with the default SSRS interface. You'll have to wrap SSRS with your own interface to add this.
To build your own SSRS interface, you can use a few different methods, such as embedding a ReportViewer control in a Asp.NET application, or using URL access in an iframe. See How to change the SSRS input parameters position in report
Of course, with Javascript and client side DOM manipulation, you probably could sneak your content into place, but it's not a supported option.
The main problem is that you can't show a report if parameters are needed for it until those parameters are chosen. If you don't want to provide default parameters another way to solve this problem is by actually having 2 reports.
In report #1 you put the parameters and the text box of instructions, but nothing actually using those parameters.
In report #2 you put the parameters and the actual report.
At the bottom of report #1 have a button, that just goes to report #2 passing the parameters selected.
I've used this technique to provide instructions on parameters when I want a quick-and-dirty solution (as opposed to a proper solution such as what Jamie suggested with embedding)
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.
