I am making a report for labels in Visual Studio. One of the parameters that the user enters is "label count," which produces the number of labels that the user chooses. The labels should be identical except for one textbox that reads "LABEL COUNT: X OF Y," where Y is the "label count" and X is the current label number, incrementing from 1 to Y. How can I implement this?
I've figured it out. This can be solved by inserting the contents of the label into a rectangle and then inserting that rectangle into a table. You will need to modify the code section of the table so that it creates a new page for each increment to the labelCount parameter. Then just insert a footer to the report to display the page count using the builtin page number variables.

I have a table, which is listing the name of benefits and it is only 1 column (just name of the benefit).
I'm wondering if there is any native function of BIRT Report Designer to produce rows not only vertically but also populate horizontally to 3-4 columns.
Something like below:
Benefits List
Benefit-1 Benefit-3 Benefit-5
Benefit-2 Benefit-4 Benefit-6
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Ok, I found a solution!
Under the following link there is a Eclipse Community Page Link recommendation about an additional computed column. Even though I don't have any computed column, the recommendation gave me an inspiration. Instead of creating an additional column, I used the rownum that is used generally to bind dataset parameter. For the table row, I created "visibility" condition that checks if the rownum + 1 is divided by 3. Depending on what is the result, it will be hidden or viewed:
Main Grid
It includes a grid with 2 rows and 3 columns. 1 row is merged to view the header. In each column of second row, the same table is placed with the same dataset.

Select Table Row
Image Indicating Row Selection
Set the Visibility
Image Showing Details of Visibility Condition
The syntax basically means: "Do not show the row if the division result is not 1".
For the second column, you will need to compare with 2: (row.__rownum + 1) % 3 != 2 and the third column with 0: (row.__rownum + 1) % 3 != 0
Hope it'll be helpful for someone.
An more straightforward approach ist to use a List item instead of a Table item.
In the detail area of the List, create a Grid item of fixed width and height.
Put the content (e.g.) text into the grid's cells.
Important: Set the "display" property of the grid to "inline" instead of the default "block".
This way BIRT will put the grids from left to right until the line is full.
Then it will fill the next line (think of "display: inline" like adding words to a paragraph).
I was asked to create a report (in SSRS visual studio 2019).
The report has the following table number, numeric. How many people per table (generally 4-12), names, etc and the order in which the people will sit. From this I'm being asked to create is a graphic visualization of a circle (broken out evenly by number of guests per table) in the order of which they are seated.
For example here is my data set:
I need to create a seprate page with the lists below so it would like like this
Page 1 would have this:
Table 1 - 8 Guests
Page 2 would have this:
Table 2 - 4 Guests
we can also use embedded images -- the team has an image for each table size but we still have to obtain the locations of each spot (which means we'd have to know how to divide a circle)
You can do this easily.
Add a list or single column table and the set Dataset property to your dataset name.
Change the row group (probably called "details") by adding a group that groups by table.
Now insert a pie chart into the table cell. We should now get 1 pie chart per table.
Click the pie chart and add a value entry, set the value expression to =1/countrows(), this bit will just split the chart up evenly based on the number of guests.
Set the category group to the guest field.
Right-click the chart and "Show data labels", then right-click the label and set the value to this expression =Fields!id.Value & " - " & Fields!guest.Value. Set the data label position property to "outside".
Finally click the chart and expand the "custom attributes" section, set the PieStartAngle property to 270, this will make sure the first person is immediately after the 12 o'clock position.
Oh,. and set the chart title to something like `="Table " & Fields!table.Value"
The final output looks like this...
I have 3 data blocks display on a single canvas which are namely:
-Payment Block: items are(pay_id, reservation_id and pay_amount)
-Menu Block which is a view having (reservation_id, meal name, totals, and a display item for summing the totals and display in a display item based on menu canvas. (working fine)
-same for Drink Block(working fine)
Note: It works fine all totals are displayed in their respective display item as the display item was added in their respective block (display item was created based on datablock drink and same for menu on datablock menu.)
-Now please help: How can I add those display item values which are on different data block in the main datablock that is add those values(sum them) and show in the payment block at textbox pay_amount.
help me guys badly need your guidance. Thank you for your time and consideration for this question.

Let's assume that you have blocks A_BLOCK, B_BLOCK, C_BLOCK. Blocks B and C have fields showing certain subsums and that part works fine.
If you want to calculate the total amount of those two subsums and display it in the block A then, one of the ways to do it is:
open property pallete of the total field in block A
find the Calculation section of the pallete end populate the properties:
Calculation mode: formula
Formula: :B_BLOCK.B_SUBSUM_FIELD + :C_BLOCK.C_SUBSUM_FIELD
Summary function: None
Summarized block: Null
Summarized item: Null
This should do the work for you showing total in block A as a result of the given calculation taking values from blocks B and C. Regards...
I have a report where I need to add a note/number where a record has data in a particular column. I then need to add a reference to that to the bottom of the table, much like a footnotes section you would see in a book.
I've tried adding the rownumber but it pulls in the actual rownumber and not the record count. I'm using oracle for my db.
In my report, if the record has a value for the column RETURN_NOTE (not shown), then concatenate an int tot he end of the TASK_NAME column. Then underneath the table, add the int from above with the RETURN_NOTE value.
You can see the red numbers and their description in the image below.
Thanks
The best way to go here is when you add a calculated field to your dataset where you put your footnotes into the expression. Lets assume your footnotes depend on the Fields!Task.Value and lets call this calculated field Footnotes:
'Name: Footnotes
=Switch(Fields!Task.Value = "Prepare for Coordinator", 1, Fields!Task.Value = "Ready for Closeout", 2)
Now add another column to your tablix and put the field Fields!Footnotes.Value in this column.
Then add a rectangle or another tablix somewhere in your report (put in the values which explains the footnotes). Then go to the properties of this tablix/rectangle (pane on the right) and under Other > Bookmark write in a bookmark code (for example: FootnotesExplained).
Go back to your textbox with the Fields!Footnotes.Value in it and right click on this textbox and go to Text Box Properties > Action and check the Go to bookmark option and write below your bookmark code from before FootnotesExplained.
When you click now on one of the value in the column where the footnotes are the report will jump to the tablix/rectangle where your footnotes descriptions are.
I'm creating a report by account that will either print 2 pages duplex (front and back). But sometimes the amount of data will make it overflow to 3 pages. When that happens I need to make sure a 4th page gets generated (blank) so the next account can print on the front of page 1. How can I accomplish this in VS2010? Thanks.
The answer, like most formatting questions, is to use a Rectangle.
Insert a rectangle, place it after your first table and give it a height of 0.125in. In the Rectangle properties, check Add Page Break After.
Now the problem is with your needing to only use the rectangle's page break when it's on page 2.
Since the Page Number built-in field only works in the header or footer, you need some code for the page number. Add code to get the Page Number to the report code (Report Properties -> Code):
Public Function PageNumber() as integer
Return Me.Report.Globals!PageNumber
End Function
Then set the Rectangle's visibility to Show or Hide based on expression and the expression to:
=IIF(Code.PageNumber() = 3, TRUE, FALSE)
