I am trying to create a report and I cannot figure out how to run/group the information. I am using VS 2008 R2 SSRS reporting services.
For the report, I have a list of questions. These questions are asked by a group of people over a period of time. For each question, I need a chart that displays the answers for each person in a bar graph. For example:
How is your day?
Person 1 -------great--------|---bad--|------okay----------|
Person 2 --great--|-------bad-------|--------okay----------|
Person 3 --------great------------|--bad--|------okay------|
The above would symbolize a chart with the amount of time the person answered 'great', 'okay' or bad throughout a period of time.
My question is, how do I create such a chart (an actual chart not a text representation) in the table so that the chart will follow each question. I will have anywhere between 5-10 questions all of which need a chart displaying the results.
I am at a loss here. I don't know SSRS very well and I have been unable to create anything other than a data bar in the table.
Any help is appreciated!
SOLUTION:
I have solved the problem by using a list with a row group grouping by question. I can then add a chart into the list and format the chart accordingly.
Sounds like you might like sparklines and databars!

I've created a stacked area chart in d3.js and would like to update the chart with data from a CSV when one of the scenario buttons is clicked.
Here's a link to the bl.ocks.org gist I've created: http://bl.ocks.org/saraquigley/094e38913b550cf5f27f
How do I correctly bind the data and get the chart to update and display the appropriate scenario.
Thanks!

Thanks for your comment, in code veritas. I was able to answer my own question by further cleaning up my code and dealing with a data filtering issue that I had caused. I've updated the gist, same link as above in case it helps anyone with a similar problem.

I am new to iText and am trying to figure something out and ANY help would be greatly appreciated.
I would like to generate a table that has n columns that should they not fit on one page, then have the remaining columns continue on the second page and so on.
Is there any way to do this with iText?
Thanks,
Kirk
When you create a table, you ALWAYS know the width of the table, be it because you've defined the absolute width(s of the columns) yourself, or because you know the available width on the page in combination with the width percentage of the table.
Now it's up to you to distribute the columns over different pages. You can do this with the writeSelectedRows() method as shown in this example from my book.
Of course: it's more difficult than that simple example, as you'll also want to make sure the rows fit the height of the page, but that's another question.
I have a Crystal Report that is is simply from a DataSet which I populate at runtime. The problem is, on the report I want some of the columns to have different capations - for example, I have the following fields in my report
Sell Total
Profit Total
Net Total
I want all of these columns to be displayed just as 'Total' on my report - I have tried setting the 'Caption' property but Crystal seems to ignore this, and there appears to be no way on the IFIeldObject to change the text.
Chris,
It's a bit tricky to visualize what you are trying to do. That said, one route might be to actually just hide the fields that Crystal Reports is using and make your own formula driven labels in the group/section footer, or whatever area you see these in.
Unless I've misunderstood, and it is somewhere that can't have the captions replaced easily (charts come to mind).
i am very new to Birt Tool,
my Question is,
I Did Row spaning in Cross tab by using different rows, now i want to insert heading for each row,
Could anyone help me
The reason this never got an answer is that Eclipse has not yet provided this long-awaited and much requested feature: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=261995
Several work-arounds though. If you've found something that works well, let us all know.
one workaround which i use is add a grid on top of the rows with same number of columns as in the crosstab and 1 row .
Now you can add labels in the grid for static headers
If you want dynamic headers you can choose the data from the pellete
I need to change the orientation of a table in a BIRT report so that the table header is vertical instead of horizontal.
Is this possible? I don't want to use a Crosstab.
It seems this thread is still being pointed at so I posted an example of a horizontal table layout using a crosstab. I know it won't help the original author but others following this thread now may find this helpful.
To create the horizontal grouping, first create your query like normal, then create a Data Cube. In this data cube, drag each field that you want into a group. Then drag a new crosstab on the report and drag each field into the top right column group area. It will create a new header row for each field. Don't put anything in the left side (Rows) and don't put anything in the measure field (bottom-right). This will create labels on the left... and the data will extend out to the right.
The report design example can be downloaded from: http://developer.actuate.com/community/forum/index.php?/files/file/1079-horizontal-table-using-crosstab/

If you want dataset records to be reported across the page, this would have to be done via a crosstab.
If you want dataset records to be reported down the page, this can't be done automatically as far as I know. However, it can be done by inserting a new detail line in your report table object for each database field to be reported, then moving column headings from the heading row into the first column's detail rows and moving record values into the second column's detail rows.
So, for example, a report with 6 columns in it would become a two column report with six detail rows.
Not in box (up to 3.7). You have to use 3'd party libs like that one.
