I created a report in birt, where I would like to click on one of the data points in the report. Then it should link to a new dynamically generated report, that shows the data from the date where I clicked on the last report.
I got a little .gif for you, to demonstrate what I've already done.
HERE
I did this by creating two reports. The first one being the graph with the two lines which represent random test data. When I press on one of the rectangles from the graph, a hyperlink gets called, which sends me to the second report. This was done by adding a mouse click interaction on the Y values with a drill-through that directs you to another report.
Here is my problem: I want the 2nd report to dynamically adapt according to the date which I selected on the first report. Like seen in the example .gif. Select 31.07.2017 -> show detail from that date.
I don’t want to create a new report for every single date and manually link every single one of them to the correct date. This would be tedious and with updating, new data every day it would also be impossible to maintain.
So how do I do this?
Alright, I made it work with data set parameters and report parameters.
Details for the answer can be found HERE
All I had t do is define a paramater and pass the values from my report 1 to my report 2 via the parameter and its working!
I have this RDL report that I created in Visual Studio and it is using a Stored Procedure as the data source. Every column from the SP output is mapped to a text box in the report.
Now, the SP returns multiple rows but in the report, only one of them is getting printed.
I want the report to create a new page for each row returned from the SP.
Is it possible? If so, then how I can do that? All inputs are greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Make a group which ends up being one record per group (RowNumber, etc...) and use the Page Break settings on the group header and hide the detail rows so that only the group or footer is visible.
I'm trying to create my first BIRT report and this data binding thing is confusing the bejeezus out of me.
So I have a data set that's working.
I right clicked my table and selected edit data bindings. I put in display names for all of my columns and changed the datatypes.
That seems to have been saved. But nothing appears on the report.
I then tried dragging columns from my dataset onto the detail band of the table, and when I do that BIRT brings up a (different?) data binding editor where it doesn't have any of the changes I made, and I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with this one.
Could someone explain to me the basic process of getting my dataset to show up on a report table, and what all this data binding stuff is supposed to do?
Have you been through the tutorials? They answered most of my basic questions, including your other q about templates.
Greetings.
I have an RDLC file and am wanting to add a data source to it, although without any luck so far. The data source is a custom class written by myself (just to add, we do this all the time). We recently converted over to the VS2010 RDLC format which caused some problems, but we've made some changes to our implementation that workaround the more major issues.
So, back to the issue at hand, when I attempt to add my data source to the DummyDataSource list in the RDLC view in VS2010 it just does nothing, however it does add the data source to the list of data sources, but you can't select it from the drop-down list in the RDLC view which means I can't add the data source at all.
Has anyone come across this problem? Is there anything I need to check? I've searched with fervour and had no luck.
There seems to be a bit of black magic going on here. Or at least I haven't figured out all of the incantation to make this happen reliably.
I think I was having a similar problem. Not sure if this will help you, but here's how I got around it.
In the VS2010 report designer, use view->Report Data to show the Report Data pane.
Click the New button and choose Dataset... to get the Dataset Properties dialog.
Name your Dataset, if you've done this before, you probably know that the dataset name here needs to match the name provided in code when you bind your ReportDataSource.
The new part that I just tried, is to click the New... button next to the Data source drop down list. The resulting wizard walks you through selecting your assembly and CLR class (use the checkbox to select your class).
When the wizard finished, my new dataset appeared.
One thing to note: The first time I tried to reproduce this, the wizard completed without adding my dataset. I went back to my class definition and decorated it with [DataContract] and [DataMember] attributes and then re-ran the wizard and it seemed to work great.
Perhaps someone with deeper knowledge can comment on why those attributes make this work, or why the wizard fails silently without them.
Your data source object must include a native data type as a property on the class, otherwise it doesn't let you add it. Funny, eh!
I could not add the datasource, after following the wizard (new button) the data source did not appear in the drop downlist.
What I did was add a property with a primitive type VS class and then proceeded to show the correct data source.
Strange to have to do this, but I found another way.
If you are using a stored procedure, replace everything inside the procedure with one row select using no source tables/functions. I couldn't get it working with a stored procedure that returned data from temp table or normal table either.
I have seen this happen when your final select in a Stored Procedure pulls from a temp/memory table. You have to fake the designer out by adding a dummy select 0 AS mycol1int, '' AS mycol2string, etc. Once you have created the Dataset, you can then remove that dummy select. Another marvelous, fabulous feature in VS! They own the DB, they own the IDE, but...
If added data source object is not shown on ReportData then:
1. Right click on rdlc and click open with
2. Select xml editor
3. add your needed dataset by hand.
After this refresh ReportData and you will see the datasource object on the list.
I am creating SSRS Report using Microsoft SQL Server Report Builder 3.0.
I am having some page-break related problems. Whenever I insert a table in my report, it generates a page break at the end of the table.
Is there any way I can have this page break not generated?
Well, I don't really know why, but this worked for me:
Remove page header and footer, and put header/footer content in body itself (but this is not something you can do if your report has more than one page).
This is one check to make. In the tablix properties, find the Pagebreak - disabled property and see if it's set to "False." (If it is, set it to "True".)
