How can i change the chart type at runtime?

Hi friends,

I want to display my report with different chart.

The type of chart to be display will be choosen only on exection time.

Can any one help me by giving solution to my problem?

Thank you

Currently, SSRS doesn't support changing the report definition at runtime. To implement your requirement consider an application front end to change and deploy the report definition. If this is not an option, the other option is to have all supported chart types on the report and hide conditionally the ones you don't need. The later approach may have performance ramifications.

How can I assign a value to a textbox programmatically in a report?

For example: If I want to display the date today, txtDate.Text = DateToday;Type
=System.DateTime.Now
into the Textbox and set the Format (right-click->properties) to dd.MM.yyyy or your corresponding date-format
|||that's design time, what i'm trying to do is at run-time I want to assign a value to a particular textbox in the report. ü|||There is no way other than assigning a expression to the Textbox. The "MS Access way" doesn't work anymore ;(
You can do something like:
=iif( some_condition = true, System.DateTime.Now, "No Date")

or create your own function:
Add
Public Function myFunction(val as Object)
if val is Nothing then return System.DateTime.Now
return "Empty"
End Funcion

to Report-Properties->Code
and call it by
=Code.myFunction(Fields!ConditionColumn.Value)

How can I achieve this

Hi,
I created a report to display in invoice when passed an invoice number. How
can I display multiple invoices when i pass either a date range? I am not
sure how to get multiple invoices, one after the other on different page.

There are a few different options here. You can use a subreport that
will automatically print out on different pages or you can use a table/
matrix control and group on invoice number and right-click the control
-> select Properties -> select the Groups tab -> select Edit... -> and
select 'Page break at end.' Hope this helps.

How *NOT* to display header column

Hi,

1. This is what SET NOCOUNT ON does:

-- SET NOCOUNT to ON and no longer display the count message.
SET NOCOUNT ON
GO
SELECT au_lname
FROM authors
GO

2. Now, is it possible and what is the statement to use if I don't want to display
the header column? au_lname. Thanks.From the Sql Bible:

SET NOCOUNT {ON | OFF}
SQL Server usually returns a message indicating how many rows were affected by any given statement. Issuing this command would stop this message.

NeuralC|||Hi NeuralC

I already knew question 1 :-D . What is I'm looking for is question 2. Thanks.|||Hi,

Graphically, I got it for question 2 using Tools, Option ... from QA.

Still, statement-wise, what is it? Thanks.|||What client are you using...that's what renders the hender not SQL itself...unless you're talking about renaming the fields

Hours/minutes in the Calendar date time prompt

Is there any way to get teh date time prompt to display hours & minutes? For example, if I default the field to '=Today', I would like to see '8/10/2006 9:04 AM' instead of '8/10/2006'

Similarly, when I pick a date using the date picker control that is displayed by default, I would like it to also display the time, which I guess would default to 12:00 AM.

Thanks in advance!

I have a report parameter set using :

=DateSerial(Year(now()), Month(now()), 0) that displays the last day of the month as default and when you view the report the end date is populated as:

7/31/2006 12:00:00 AM

does that help?

Hi,

I encountered the same situation once and this is what I did:

in the report parameter --> default values, write the following expression

=today().addseconds(1). This will display the data and time when you run the report. The only thing is that for the default value it will add 1 second.

Thanks...your replies got me off on the right path. I ended up using the following:

=DateAdd("h",12,Today)

and

=now

I had been using =Today which just returns a date. Duh.
