One of the columns in my Table actually has a value which is picks from a field from dataset and a textbox (for example =Fields!Total.Value/ReportItems!Textbox80.Value). The Total Field comes from a dataset in my report however I am struggling to find the Textbox80 . Is there any way I can search for this Textbox from Report builder UI. I tried seeing in Properties view as well but Could not find a way. I looked at below link also for help but it talks about BIDS which I cant see in Report builder
This seems to be a potential duplicate of How do I find a specific textbox within a SSRS 2008 R2 Report
The answers show that there is no specific way to do this with the report builder UI without selecting each report item and manually checking the properties menu.
The textbox can easily be seen if you are viewing the report in Visual studio (using the properties drop down box at the top of the screen)
The textbox can also be found if you edit the .rdl file in a text editor, which can then allow you to attempt to locate the textbox

I just got the latest versions today for working with SSRS: SSRS 2019, Visual Studio Community 2019 (Version 4.8.03752) with SSRS Templates (Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services Designers Version 15.0.1659.0).
I have a textbox with the report title which doesn't show in preview (both in header or body) and a textbox in footer with page counts that doesn't show. In the body I have a Table with a few columns that don't show values but do show the table cells. I noticed that values did show for returned records on first try but not for column headers; however, when I resized one cell, no values were shown at all for anything. Now, no text values show at all in Preview mode.
When I export report to PDF, everything shows (title, body, footer). This also works when I published to the Portal.
Here is what I tried without success:
Changed the font color to all texts to red but text values still don't show.
Deleted the report data files (.data) but text values still don't show.
Open the report file (.rdl) with Report Builder but text values still don't show.
So, it is in the editors (VS and Report Builder) that the problem only exists as rendering (PDF, Word) works and running in Report Portal works.
Thanks.
My issue was resolved by unticking the "Allow height to increase" check box for the text box.
enter image description here
I faced this same issue using the standalone Report Builder application, and I resolved it by placing the textbox inside a rectangle. From then on, it rendered in preview mode as expected. However, I'm not sure how that would affect auto-growth.
I'm creating a RDLC report using Visual Studio 2013 and I'm using a lot of TextBox containing formulas.
Is there a way to display some different name for this TextBox instend of just <<Expression>> ? This way is not very clear since all the fields seems the same. I see TextBox have a Description field but it doesn't work for me, it only does if I use Placeholders
I have this RDL report, which needs to show a list of objects.
each objects itself contains multiple charts and tables so my idea was to add a single table in my report and add a sub-report to the table cell and feed the id of each object via a parameter to the sub-report.
This is how my report currently looks like:
Many sites suggest that the proper file may be selected by navigating to the supreport properties screen and using the browse button on the "Use this report as subreport" section, but my designer has no browse button:
My first thought is I'll just type in the path. But this doesn't work because it won't support : or \
Here I'd like to mention that we deploy our report in a subfolder of our application's deployment folder(generally something on the lines of "C:\Program Files\Company\Application\data\ReportDefinitions") Also the report files are not included in the application's solution. They're loaded at run time as needed.
I've also checked what msdn has to say on the matter. Some pages suggest using an expression like ="path" but this doesn't work for the same reasons.
Another article from Microsoft says something in the line of:
but this doesn't work either it just can't find the report sub-report in any way:
I've double checked and triple checked. The sub report is in the same folder as the main report and it's name is correct, but it just won't see it
I've already spent hours on this and I feel like I've exhausted every option.
What am I missing?
It seems my problem was not loading the subreport properly.
I load and render my reports pragmatically. Adding the following line overcame the problem
localReport.LoadSubreportDefinition(
"SingleCalibrationCurveReport",
new StreamReader(Path.Combine(this.systemSettings.DataPath, #"ReportDefinitionFiles\SingleCalibrationCurveReport.rdlc")));
I am trying to start with odoo. One of the most import thing for us would be to generate different layout for sale orders.
I've started with this document: https://github.com/odoo/odoodays-2014/blob/master/v8_reporting_engine/index.rst
It is from the "odoodays 2014" and shows how to customize an existing report. This works fine. I don't understand the points under "Generic / particular report".
Now I'm lost trying to add a new report (starting with a copy of the exisiting report) with a custom template.
I've tried to add a new item in the report view in settings, but I can't add any linked qweb views (I've added a new one, but it didn't get a new ID).
I've tried to create a copy in the views directory of the addon but it didn't help.
Is there any tutorial for this ?
Is there somebody who can give me some pointers how to add a new report ?
After searching around I've come to this solution. I've translated all the menu headers from German, because I'm using Odoo in German.
reports are listed in Settings / Reporting / Reports
you can click one of the reports
if you edit one of the reports you can click on "Search for linked QWeb Views" - you can click and change these views. They are in HTML and are used for the data in the reports
New reports are typically added with a plugin.
If you would like to change the report with the website editor you can install the website builder. If you change one of the reports from PDF to HTML (in Settings / Reporting / Reports) you get a popup when you're generating the report.
In this popup you can change the report template. With this you can change the template with the website builder tools.
These reports are saved in the database in the table ir_ui_view. If you change to another database they still have the original reports (this was my big fear - that changing the reports changes them for all databases).
Header and footer are still changed in the company settings with RDL.
So basically everything from the odoodays-2014 document is working like they've showed on this website - it was just pretty hard to find out how these things worked.
I'm working on a SQL Server Reporting Service report, that will eventually be in my WPF app. There are certain sections of the report which should only be shown, if certain conditions are met. How do I make sections appear or be hidden/collapsed in the Report Viewer? (I'm working in VS 2010.)
It may depend on what you mean by "section". Most report objects (such as text boxes, table rows, etc.) have a property Visibility>Hidden which can be set to a condition, by selecting the <Expression...> option for the property in the Properties window in the Report Designer.
