The SSRS report I was updating was originally created in Canada, so the measurements were in centimeters and the page size was A4. Below are the steps I took to change the report’s page measurements and layout. Start by opening SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT). Next open your solution/project. As we can see in this tip, SSRS is a very powerful reporting tool, and we just need to explore it to cater to most of the end user requirements. Try these tips and tricks demonstrated above and explore more possibilities. Check out the SQL Server Reporting Services Expressions Tips and Tricks; Check out the Reporting Services. The exported PDF will be taken print out to submit it to the management. As its not visible even if its exported to PDF/ print out of it, we would need a help. Could you please confirm how to set 'Fit to Width' of SSRS Matrix report which will have columns dynamically to grow/shrink. At the time of export to PDF and taking print outs? Export SSRS Report to PDF In this example, we will export the SSRS report to PDF format. To do this, Please select the PDF option from the context menu as we shown below From the below image, see we are saving this PDF file to the REPORT folder in our E Drive. I've built a report in Reporting Services and when we browse to the report in Internet Explorer we want to be able to export the report in PDF format. It works, but it was cutting off the columns to the right and displaying them on the next page (in PDF) because the page was too wide.
In Reporting Server you have the option to export your reports to PDF. This works fine however sometimes extra blank pages are generated. For instance, the reports is rendered on your screen on 3 pages. After exporting to a PDF file you got a file with 6 pages. After every printed page with content you goy an empty page. This is caused by the fact that the width size of the body of the report must be less or equal to the width size of the report minus the sum of the left and right margins.Retrieve the body properties of a report:
- Enable the properties window. (In Visual Studio, View, Properties Window)
- Click on the body of the report. The property window will now display the size of your body.
Retrieve the report properties of a report:
Click on the gray area outside the report. The property window will now display the size of your report.
In this example the width size of the body is 19.7 cm. The report width is 21 cm. The left margin of the report is 0.635 cm and the right margin of the report is 0.635 cm. To avoid an extra printed pages in the exported PDF file next formula is used.
width size of the body + left margin of the report + right margin of the report <= report width
In this example: 19.7 + 0.635 + 0635 < 21
Yes that's the case because 20.97 <= 21
Enjoy exporting your SSRS reports to PDF.

Integration Services :: Import / Export Wizard Auto-generates All Columns As DATE
Feb 25, 2015I'm trying to use the Import/Export Wizard as I used to, as a handy tool to figure out what a series of T-SQL statements (in an SSIS package) is doing - or, if I'm lucky, what on earth the original dev intended them to do.
Version: SQL 2014 64-bit running on Win 7 64-bit
The code is pretty dreadful:
SELECT DISTINCT on one set of column names,
join this set to another table but not on exactly the same set of column names,
embedded (SELECT MAX(bla) FROM SameTable WHERE [match to outer set on another set of columns] GROUP BY [hey, yet another set of columns!]) inside the SELECT column list...
and it all goes to a nasty #Tmp, which is then abused with further bad code further down.
Imp/Exp is always handy to quickly get the intermediate results into an auto-created real table, so I can figure out exactly what the effect of this is. I use it to export from the database back to the same database, but to a persisted table.
This time (first time with SQL2014) it's not working. The source is 'write a query' (paste the actual query). The destination I set to a new table. The auto-generation of the new table creates every column as type date. Not surprisingly, this doesn't work, as the original data is mostly not of date time.
Auto Filter In 2005 Reporting Services
Feb 7, 2007Hello Experts,
I have been playing around with RS 2005 and like it so far. I am in the process of replcating some excel reports in RS. I was wondering if there is any way to replicate the Auto Filter Functionality of Excels sheets where column is a dropdown with disticnt values of that specific column and also has Top 10 and Custom filters attached to it. So when selected from dropdown the report filters for these records.
I understand we can use parameters for this kinda report but my client has 15 columns in the report and it will be cool to give them auto filter functionality as in Excel as they are used to it.
Any help will be appreciated.

Reporting Services :: SSRS Date Format Auto Going To 12:00:00 PM
Jul 30, 2015Below is list of Date/Time which is my output in SQL Management Studio. When I move this into SSRS and use the DateTime custom function it shows the the Date/Time correctly if there is a time element. However it's defaulting the 00:00:00.000 to 12:00:00 PM which is incorrect.
I would like the SSRS to show as Format dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm but still show the 00:00 element.

Reporting Services :: SSRS - Export To CSV
Jan 7, 2010When the SSRS report exported to CSV file, all the column headers are added in the first row. The issue here is, I have hidden( thru Visibility property) some of the columns in the report but those columns are also displayed in the header row(first row)CSV file and the blank values for their corresponding data.for example, I have displayed only below 3 columns out of 6 columns in the report.col1, col2, col3but the CSV generated as below:
format..col1,col2,col3,col4,col5,col6a1,a2,a3,b1,b2,b3,c1,c2,c3,
I don't want the highlighted items.The TableColumn Visibility property has been setup as below..
=IIF(Fields!col4.IsMissing, TRUE, FALSE)
When the report is exported to other formats(like Excel,XML..) this works fine.. i.e., no hidden columns are displayed.
Reporting Services - Export To PDF Problem
Aug 2, 2007
We are facing some problem while exporting the SSRS (SQL Server 2005 SP2 installed on win2K3) Report to PDF format, problem is when we export report to PDF format all the data after 80 columns gets wrapped to next page which not only increases no. of pages in the reports but also disturbs the report format for example if a report contains only one page and 320 columns of data and if we export it to PDF format then the PDF file will have 4 pages each having 80 columns of date. Has anybody faced the similar issues? would appreciate if you can give solution for this problem or forward any link which discusses the same.
Reporting Services :: Export To Excel On IPad?
Aug 13, 2015I manage a Sales MIS Reports System, which has been in Production since 2006 for a Pharma company. The web app is built on ASP.NET with SQL Server Reporting Server 2012. This May we migrated to SQL Reporting Services 2012, as IPad support for reports was
required.
A Safari on IPad limitation which we knew of and documented was lack of 'Export to Excel' feature for SSRS 2012 reports (only export to .PDF and .TIFF supported). The same report on a desktop browser allows me all export functionality.
But now an overwhelming number of IPad users have come back with the requirement to support 'Export to Excel' on the IPad.We were also surprised to discover that few of these users were provided IPads last year and they were accessing the old SSRS 2008 R2 reports (even though we did not support it).
And these users were exporting reports to excel on the IPad since last year. These users are especially annoyed that we broke existing functionality while moving to a new version which was supposed to support IPads.
how we can provide the 'Export to Excel' functionality for these IPad users.

After exporting a RS report to PDF the links(Jump to Report) are removed. Is there anyway to keep the links?

Compress/Zip Reporting Services Export Options
Dec 4, 2006Hey everyone,
I have an issue where i am sending out files with 30,000+ lines and they are reaching the 11mb, 12mb in size.
This is becoming and issue for us, as we are only allowed to email up to 10mb in size.
I have tried reducing all spaces in the data, removing any graphics etc from the report , but still the excel file is over 11mb. One thing i did find was that, if i export it to excel, then open the file and save as a different file name the file size drops 50% !!
I was wondering if anyone has been able to zip/compress the exported file before it gets emailed?
It would be a great feature for MS to include in the next service pack.. Take advantage of the built in Zip support in Windows..
Look forward to hearing any suggestions that the community may have,
Thanks
Scotty

Is The Export Quality For PDFs In Reporting Services 2005 Only 96DPI?
Apr 20, 2008I have been fighting with Reporting Services all day, and despite setting the PDF output quality to 300DPI, I have noticed that the image quality appears to be only 96DPI. I've noticed this because images with a size set for 300DPI are too large for the page, and images set for 96DPI fit just right.
Could someone please tell me if this is a limitation of Reporting Services 2005, or am I just doing something wrong?
I need to know this because I am up against a deadline with this project. I had ran several tests with Reporting Services but had never had assumed there would be problems with image quality.
Is there any other product that offers similar features to Microsoft Reporting Services that you could recommend?
My luck has not been very good with this project, and I'm assuming the response is going to be 96DPI is all that is supported...

Reporting Services :: Row Delimiter In Data Breaks CSV Export In SSRS?
Export Ssrs Report To Excel
Jul 10, 2015Microsoft Word Export To Pdf
Currently I'm working on a few SSRS reports which will be exported to CSV.
In some of the fields e.g. 'Description' the data can contain carriage return and line feed characters (CR LF). SO when that happens the csv export breaks the line and rest of the data from that fields goes into the net line. This creates a few undesirable line breaks.
I can always replace these characters from that fields.
Is there a way I keep those characters in the field and still my csv export come up fine.
Reporting Services :: Report Viewer Export To Xlsx Query
Jun 25, 2015I was wondering on a question that : exporting a report to xlsx is feature of SSRS server or of Report viewer control itself.I have multiple report servers (eg 2008 R2, 2012 and 2014) . I am using a windows application and reportviewer version 9.0.So when I use report server 2008 R2 its not showing the xlsx export option but working fine with other report servers.Again I changed the control to 11.0 (also 12.0) and checked the same scenario and same results with Reporting server 2008 R2 but working fine with 2012 and 2014. if its worth to change the Report Viewer control or just changing the server is okay to achieve the functionality of exporting to xlsx.
