Help Needed on Next() function of Crystal Reports

Can any of you help me by providing an Alternate Code Snippet in
reportingsvcs(SSRS) for Crystal Report Next() function.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Nivasp74My CR knowledge is really rusty now, but I guess Next in CR is the
opposite of Previous in RS?
There isn't a Next function as such in RS. You'll need to do a bit of
lateral thinking.
If you are affecting formatting or showing or hiding rows/cells based
on the next value, try and switch your logic so you can use previous
instead.
If that's not possible in your scenario, try incorporating the next
value onto each row from the dataset, i.e.
Select a.id, a.value, b.id, b.value
From MyTable A
Left Join MyTable B On B.Id = (A.Id + 1)
A good piece of advice when switching from CR to RS; try not to think
how you would do it in CR first - this will only cause you frustration!
RS is quite a different product in the way it works, as soon as you can
break the habit of thinking in Crystal terms, you'll find RS get's
easier.

the process of converting our reports from Crystal Reports to SQL Server
Reporting Services and I came up with the following alternative for the NEXT
function in our situation.
Many of our reports consist of multiple groups with subtotals and grand
totals in the group footers. On some of the CR reports, we have a
conditional page break which forces a page break only if the NEXT group value
is equal to the current value. For example: {@.Bank_Name/Bank_HEADER} = Next
({@.Bank_Name/Bank_HEADER})
This prevents a group footer from appearing on a single page by itself.
My SSRS solution is to place all the group footer information in the
innermost group footer, but within their own individual table rows with the
innermost group footer's Page break at End property checked. Then I define
the table row's hidden property to an expression which evaluates the row
number of the group with the row count of the group, such as
=(RowNumber("table1_Group2")<>CountRows("table1_Group2")).
My Group 1 and Report Footers row hidden properties have the following
respective expressions:
=(RowNumber("table1_Group1")<>CountRows("table1_Group1"))
=(RowNumber("table1")<>CountRows("table1"))
As for the aggregate functions in each of the table rows, I apply the same
scope values to achieve the Group 2, Group 1, and report totals as in:
=Count(Fields!Formula_Acct_Num.Value, "table1_Group2")
=Count(Fields!Formula_Acct_Num.Value, "table1_Group1")
=Count(Fields!Formula_Acct_Num.Value, "table1")
= Sum(Fields!Formula_Balance.Value, "table1_Group2")
= Sum(Fields!Formula_Balance.Value, "table1_Group1")
= Sum(Fields!Formula_Balance.Value, "table1")
Enjoy!

Help needed for SSRS 2005(Regarding Individual folder Security)

Hi Experts,
I am working on SSRS 2005.
I want to implement security for each folder for different users on my
report server.
I have 6 different folders on my report server and I want that any
person can open them after entering a valid username and password. I
want set different username and password for each folder not a single
password for all folders.
I am not finding anyway to do this. So if anybody have any idea about
this please tell me.
Any help will be appreciated.

Normally, you would tie the folder-level security into Windows
authentication, based on user and group access (via select a folder ->
select the Properties tab -> select Security on the left-hand side ->
Edit item security on the top). You might make a new role w/only
certain members and that role only has access to certain folders;
however, again this is windows authentication based. The only other
way to go about it would be to create a parameter in each report that
accepts text input and use this as a password. Sorry that I could not
be of greater assistance.
Regards,
Enrique Martinez
Sr. Software Consultant|||As Enrique mentioned you can't do this.
This is not how Windows works. Consider this the same as if you had a file
server and were trying to do this. You could not do it.
Same result is to do the following. Create 6 local groups. To the local
groups add the users (you can add either individual domain users or domain
groups to the local groups). Then use these groups when setting up roles and
access to the folders.
You should read up on roles and security in RS.
One other possibility is to implement forms security. This is where you
integrate your own authentication mechanism.

Help needed for SSRS 2005(Regarding html code)

Hi Experts,
I am working on SSRS 2005, and I am facing a problem in this.
We are using an ASP.net application in which user fills a form. Some
fields contain text fields and we are entering all the fields in our
database through application.
But when we are entering values from application then our database
contains some html code in some fields with data.
Now I want to show those fields in my report, Values coming from
database in my report but they are in html format. So it is not
readable in report.
Now you people tell me how to solve this issue in my reports. I want
that data in my report as user entered in the application form.
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards
DineshDinesh,
The only thing I can think of is writing a function which strips out the
HTML tags and then call that function for each field in your report. You
could make this function a Report Code Block or even better, put it in an
assembly referenced by the Report.

Help Needed For reporting service 2005(Regarding deployment)

Hi experts
I am working on sql server reporting services 2005.
And i want to know one thing. I have one solution in SSRS 2005 report
designer and currently i m dploying each and every report to their
respective folders.
But now i have to deploy all the reports again on some new server. So
is there any way by which i dont need to deploy each and every report
seprately. IS there any script available by which i can deploy all the
reports on my server.
And second thing i wish to know is it possible to make instalable file
for this solution so that where ever i want i can install these
reports. If yes then how can i make instalable file of my this
solution.
Any help will be gratefull.
Regards
DineshThe easiest way to deploy your reports is to have a solution with multiple
report projects in them. Each Report Project would represent a folder on
your report server. In the project properties you would have your
"TargetReportFolder" set to the correct deployment folder name for each of
the projects.
Then when you wanted to deploy your reports to a different server all you
would need to do is modify the "TargetServerURL" property to point to the
new server name and then redeploy your reports.

Help needed for datediff function for SQL query

Hi Experts,
I am working on SSRS 2005, and I am facing a problem in counting the
no of days.
My database has many fields but here I am using only two fields
They are Placement_Date and Discharge_Date
If child is not descharged then Discharge_Date field is empty.

I am writing below query to count the number of days but is is not
working it is showing the error
"The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted
in an out-of-range datetime value."

select case
when convert(datetime,Discharge_Date,103) = '' then
datediff(day,CONVERT(datetime,Placement_Date,103), GETDATE())
else
datediff(day,CONVERT(datetime,Placement_Date,
103),CONVERT(datetime,Discharge_Date,103))
end NoOfDays
from Placement_Details
So please tell me where I am wrong?

Any help will be appriciated.
Regards
DineshWithout having your table structure and sample data, it is a bit difficult
to troubleshoot, but a few notes that can help you:

- Based on the style 103 that you use for the CONVERT function, seems you
are converting date stored as string in format "dd/mm/yyyy" to a datetime
type. The error that you get indicates that the date string cannot be
converted, because the day, month, or year portion is out of the allowed
range. You can easily simulate the error if you run something like this:
SELECT CONVERT(datetime, '23/13/2007', 103). The month cannot be 13 so it
fails with the error you get. You can use the LEFT, RIGHT and SUBSTRING
functions to extract the day, month, and year portion of both columns
(Placement_Date and Discharge_Date) and check for invalid values, then clean
your data. For year the down side value is 1753 (that is the lower limit for
datetime data type).

- It is always best to keep date values in columns of datetime data type.
That way you do not have to worry about the format and can benefit of using
all datetime functions with no need to convert.

This does not really make sense. A datetime value cannot be the
empty string. By the default the empty string will convert to the
datetime value 1900-01-01 00:00:00.000, but I don't think that is
what you want.

Assuming a reasonably designed database, the test would be

WHEN Discharge_Date IS NULL THEN

Then again, since you seem to store dates in character values, this
may not be a reasonably designed database. :-)

Anyway, the problem appears to be that you have junk in your character
columns. As Plamen said, you should use the datetime data type to store
your dates instead.

Oh, by the way, this SELECT should give you the rows with bad dates:

SET DATEFORMAT DMY
go
SELECT Discharge_Date, Placement_Date
FROM Placement_Details
WHERE isdate(Discharge_Date) = 0 OR
isdate(Placement_Date) = 0

Help Needed For Date format in SSRS 2005

Hi experts,
I am working on SQL server 2005 reporting services and i am getting a
problem.
I am developing a report in which i am taking two parameters
one is FromDate and second is ToDate and i have changed thier Data
type as Date Time.
So it is giving callender control in reports. And default values for
both parameter is todays system date.
Now I want these dates in dd/mm/yyyy format so i changed the setting
of my system for the required date format.
In parameter selection box date format is correct it is comming in dd/
mm/yyyy format.
But again I am using a text box in the report body which tell us a
message that this report is contains the data between these dates.
For this I am using the expression
="The following data is for the period between " & Parameters!
FromDate.Value & " and " & Parameters!ToDate.Value
So here i am getting these dates in the mm/dd/yyyy format.
I have tried this also
="The following data is for the period between " & Parameters!
FromDate.Label & " and " & Parameters!ToDate.Label
The no date is comming in the text box.
I have tried Cdate function and other functions in DateTime function
which are available in the reporting services property box, But i am
not finding the solution for this problem.
So if any body is having any idea about this then please help me.
Any help wil be appriciated.
Regards
DineshHi Dinesh,
Make sure the report language is set to Australia (or any other language
that supports this format by default) , you find this under the properties
dialog box when you only select the form (not any controls on it).
Cheers
Matt

Help me getting started

I am new to ssrs,

Iam facing the following problem with reportviewer parameter

1) I have a dataset added to the project under app_code which has the following querry select * from emp

2) In the rdlc i have two columns empname,deptid,i have added a parameter called deptid with type as int

3) I have a webpage with reportviewer i have mapped the reportviewer to the rdlc file and datasource

4)on click of a button i want to display emp details from a particular deptid alone , so i added these lines on click of the button

ReportViewer1.ShowReportBody =true;

ReportParameter rpt =newReportParameter("deptid", Text1.Text);

this.ReportViewer1.LocalReport.SetParameters(newReportParameter[] { rpt });

But stil it is showing all the emp details

HI,dareprasanna:

After you setting the filter parameter to the ReportView, you should make it refresh to see the result.

ReportViewer1.LocalReport.Refresh();

If i misunderstand you about your question, please feel free to correct me and i will try to help you with more information.

I hope the above information will be helpful. If you have any issues or concerns, please let me know. It's my pleasure to be of assistance

|||

HI Rex Lin,

Even after setting , ReportViewer1.LocalReport.Refresh();

I get all the details instead of getting those employee who are from the corresponding department,

Should i write a seperate method to fetch the employees of the corresponding dept or the reportviewer will automatically fetch the corresponding employees,

If i have not made my question clear in the previous question i will make myself clear now,

1) I added a dataset with the querry select empname,deptid from emp

2) In the rdlc i have added two details column (empname and deptid)
I have added one parameter by right clicking out of rdlc and added a parameter called 'deptid'

3) In the aspx page i have added reportviewer Choosed the rdlc i have created just above this point
I have not done any changes with ObjectDatasource1 which is created on associating reportviewer with rdlc

4) I have added the following piece of code in page load

ReportViewer1.ShowReportBody = true;
ReportParameter rpt = new ReportParameter("deptid", "39");
this.ReportViewer1.LocalReport.SetParameters(new ReportParameter[] { rpt });
ReportViewer1.LocalReport.Refresh();

5) Still i get all the employees instead of getting employee from deptid = 39

|||

HI,dareprasanna

Please double check your sql statement and

I'd rather do it in that way:

SELECT LastName, FirstName, EmailAddress, Phone, ContactID
FROM Person.Contact
WHERE (LastName LIKE @.LastName ) AND (Phone LIKE @.Area )

aspx code:

ReportViewer1.ShowReportBody = true;
ReportViewer1.Visible = true;
ReportViewer1.ProcessingMode = ProcessingMode.Local;

strLastName = txtLastName.Text.ToString().Trim();
strArea = txtArea.Text.ToString().Trim();

ReportParameter[] param = new ReportParameter[2];
param[0] = new ReportParameter("LastName", strLastName + "%", false);
param[1] = new ReportParameter("Area", strArea + "%", false);
ReportViewer1.LocalReport.SetParameters(param);

ReportViewer1.LocalReport.Refresh();

If i misunderstand you about your question, please feel free to correct me and i will try to help you with more information.

I hope the above information will be helpful. If you have any issues or concerns, please let me know. It's my pleasure to be of assistance

|||

HI Rex Lin,

Thank you very much for your kind help,

This discussion has definetly given me some idea about ssrs and report viewer control,

Again Thanks a lot

Regards

prasanna

You are welcome, prasanna.

It's my pleasure!
