Report design Issues.

Hi All,
Please let me know of this problem.
Can I have a static row in a matrix'
The design of the report should be like this
Matrix Header
Totals : Static Header
Row1
Row2
Row3
Labor : Static Header
Row4
Row5
Row6
The number of rows in each section is the same (only three)..
I have been breaking my head to get the design right...
Any help please....
Thanks in Advance.....I have an example of a Matrix report with Static columns on
www.msbicentral.com
register, then go to downloads, Reporting Services, RDL and search for
Static... The file is Matrix.StaticColumns.RDL

Report Dataset is lost once the Data Tab is clicked

1. Created a New Report Server Wizard Project using OLAP as datasource
2. Gone through the wizard steps to generate a matrix report.
3. All is fine and the report gets previewed. I build and deploy the report.
4. Now , if I need to add a new column I go to data tab of the report. Realize that the query is lost and now the report throws exception like the following when rebuild:

" [rsFieldReference] The Value expression for the textbox ‘Base_Premium’ refers to the field ‘Base_Premium’. Report item expressions can only refer to fields within the current data set scope or, if inside an aggregate, the specified data set scope."
5. No idea why the query given at the query builder stage of the wizard is lost

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a new Report Server Wizard Project
2. Create a new datasource using OLAP as datasource
3. Add the report data fields (query builder)
4. Select matrix report format and any style
5. Select the row, col and data fields.
6. complete the wizard.
7. Save, build and deploy the project
8. Preview the report.
9. Now try to add a new column to the report by clicking the data tab.

Actual Results:

The sql prepared from the query builder is lost and all the columns previously selected disappear. The report throws exception in preview mode something like :

" [rsFieldReference] The Value expression for the textbox ‘Base_Premium’ refers to the field ‘Base_Premium’. Report item expressions can only refer to fields within the current data set scope or, if inside an aggregate, the specified data set scope."

Expected Results:

Should be able to modify the report any number of times after it is initially generated.

Report Bulilder & Report Designer (Comp matrix)

Guys,
Is there any comparison matrix available online between Report Builder &
Report Designer (VS2005)? If yes, can you please redirect me to it?
Thanks,
RohitAlso, I want to know if the reports designed in Report Designer can be
opened in Report Builder. If we cannot, then, are there any alternatives? I
want to give an option (to the client) to modify reports created via Report
Designer without using 3rd party report designer tools or VS2005. Is this
really possible?
I also want to the limitations of Report Builder.
Thanks,
Rohit

Report Builder Designer problem

Hello,
When I create a new matrix report in the Report Builder, then the height of
the title cell of the dimension on the left of the matrix, is half height.
If you want to see, I have a pdf to illustrate it.
Is this a bug in the designer? Or can I solve this?
Regards,
JaapHello Jaap,
I would like to get the screenshot to understand this issue better.
And I also would like to know whether the title cell in the Preview is
still half height?
Sincerely,
Wei Lu

Report Builder

How to create report with Matrix and Chart in a report using report builder?From Report Builder you may only use the provided report templates. So you
may make a matrix OR chart report, but not a matrix with a chart report.
You may bring a saved Report Builder-authored report into BI Dev Studio and
add a second data region to it that could use the same or different dataset.
