report does not show a table

Hi,

We have a report published to two report servers ( same configuration). this report displays data in two side by side tables. on server 1, the left side table does not get displayed where as both the tables show fine on server 2.

What could be the reason for this

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Phani

I assume that the reports are pointing to different databases, so is there any data being returned for the table that doesn't show?|||

Hi,

It is the same report deployed on two webservers so they pull from the same database. One report shows both the tables with data and the second one shows only the right side table with data and does not show left hand side table.

Thanks,

Phani

are the two tables using the same datasource?

could it be a time out issue from sql?

Have you looked into the reportserver log files and compared the results from each report server?

Report Does Not Display in Designer

Hello,

I am developing some reports for an ASP.NET solution, but my IDE does not display the design view of the reports. Instead, it only displays the XML definition even when I click View Designer. Yesterday the reports showed up correctly, and I know that the design view is there. Is there a setting that has been changed somewhere?

I guess you are trying to add the report to your ASP.Net application project. If you do that and view the report (.rdl file), you can only see the xml view. You can see the design view only if you add it to Report Server project under Business Intelligence Projects group.

Report Builder filter dropdown list issues

How can I create a report in Report Builder with a date-type parameter that displays a dropdown list of month names displayed in the correct chronological order (i.e. January, February, etc.)? More generally, how does one sort filter values in the dropdown list?

On a related note, how do I get Report Builder to display (in the report) which values were selected from the dropdown list? Currently I get:

Filter: Transactions with: All of (Month = (prompted))

when what I really need is the month name(s) selected from the dropdown list.

Thanks!

Paul.

Paul.

Names will appear in dropdown if ValueSelection property of attribute Transaction is set to "Dropdown".

Thanks for the reply. Perhaps I was insufficiently clear. I know how to get a dropdown list. What I don't know how to do is how to sort the date values (when displayed as month names) in a dropdown list. Month names are being displayed as April, August, etc. instead of January, February, etc.

Report Builder

Report Builder displays the description text as a tooltip in the Explorer pane.

I would like to have metadata about each field in the model when we use
report builder. I tried to use the description field that is in the
properties of each field but that discription does not show up on report
builder. Is this possible to do? Am I just doing it incorrectly?Mr. Meyers, thanks for the reply, I do have one question as a follow up. Do
I have to do something to turn it on? I have descriptions typed in, but when
I "hover" over the column name in report builder, I only get the column name
again in the little text box that comes open. I am running RC2.
Thanks again.

Report being generated never shows second report

I have a VS2005 Windows application that displays a reportviewer (SQL 2005) report in a tab control, then displays a second report in a second tab with reportviewer, and so on. The really strange thing is that I had this application working for about 3 months. I even had up to 30 reports in 30 tabs at one point. BUT, for some reason now all I get is the first report and the second, third, etc. tabs show a reportviewer with "Report being generated" that never displays the report. Even worse, another user is able to run this application and DOES get all the reports displayed. So what could have been updated on my PC that is causing this problem?

Thanks in advance.

The obvious question to ask is what's changed? Have you installed any service packs or updates recently? Maybe it was some new software?|||

I was hoping someone else could tell me what installations might cause this problem, because I can't be 100% sure what updates have been done to my PC. Our Network Services group pushes updates and with MS always forcing updates, it's difficult nowadays to know what's going on on your own PC. Anyway, in January, I installed Red Gate's SQL Prompt 3 and Net Services pushed McAfee OAS. I don't know the exact day Report Viewer stopped working, but I'm pretty sure it was working after these installs. The SQL Server/SSRS 2005 is running on SP1, my client SQL is on SP1. Here's the header info in the most recent SSRS log:

<Header>
<Product>Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services Version 9.00.2047.00</Product>
<Locale>en-US</Locale>
<TimeZone>Eastern Standard Time</TimeZone>

<OSName>Microsoft Windows NT 5.2.3790 Service Pack 1</OSName>
<OSVersion>5.2.3790.65536</OSVersion>
</Header>

Here are the last few lines in this log, that show me trying to run 2 reports. It looks like it does the same processing for both reports here, but it just can't display the report in the viewer.

After a lot of searching and matching dlls, it looks like that VS 2005 SP1 is my problem. I've started another thread here:

Report always displays 2 pages

Hi, I have a SQL Reporting service on which I have a footer with the number of page, something like "page 1 of 1". THe thing is, if I preview the report, it displays the nr of pages correctly, however, when I export to PDF; it alwas displays 2 pages, on the 2nd page only displays the footer "page 1 of 2" even if the first page is small and fits that page only. I've tried to reorganize the controls on the report and fit the footer to display only one page, however, no result.. any guess?Thanks a lot!Check the page margins settings in the report's properties.|||Problem solved. I've resized the report width to a less value than the value that I was using and is working!Thanks for the tip!
