reporting

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

I'm looking for a templating tool that allows powerful manipulation of data and report building. JasperReports is powerful, but is it the best out there? I generally don't need the ability for fancy colors or gradients, but I do need the ability to position data accurately and produce reliable, quick results. Ideally, generating a report shouldn't need to be driven by a visual tool, either, and should be entirely API based. Does anyone have real experience with any major reporting framework in a large scale application? Some of the reporting tools I've seen deal primarily with

In R I can quickly see a count of missing data using the summary command, but the equivalent pandas DataFrame method, describe does not report these values. I gather I can do something like len(mydata.index) - mydata.count() to compute the number of missing values for each column, but I wonder if there's a better idiom (or if my approach is even right). Both describe and info report the count of non-missing values. In [1]: df = DataFrame(np.random.randn(10,2)) In [2]: df.iloc[3:6,0] = np.nan In [3]: df Out[3]: 0 1 0 -0.560342 1.862640 1 -1.237742 0.596384 2 0.603539 -1.561594 3 NaN 3.018954 4

We're building an application that has a database (yeah, pretty exciting huh :). The database is mainly transactional (to support the app) and also does a bit of "reporting" as part of the app - but nothing too strenuous. Above and beyond that we have some reporting requirements - but they're pretty vague and high-level at the moment. We have a standard reporting tool that we-use in-house which we'll use to do the "heavier" reporting as the requirements solidify. My question is: how do you know when a separate database for reporting is required? What sort of questions need to be asked? What

I'm after a bit of help automating a report for work. I have a spreadsheet with a data dump on, as per screenshot below (this is some data I have mocked up for this example). This spreadsheet also has two other worksheets, one has a list of sales reps, the other has the basic template I need to achieve. The data shows potential new business for our sales reps. This data is split down by sales rep, as well as a rating for the new business (hot, warm, lukewarm, general). The template splits each reps data up into a separate table for each rating (i.e on the sheet for "Rep 1", it will have four

I created a report in VS using a shared data source which is connected to a sharepoint list. In the report I created a dataset with a SOAP call to the data source so I get the result from the sharepoint list in a table. this is the soap call <Query> <SoapAction>http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/GetListItems</SoapAction> <Method Namespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/" Name="GetListItems"> <Parameters> <Parameter Name="listName"> <DefaultValue>{BD8D39B7-FA0B-491D-AC6F-EC9B0978E0CE}</DefaultValue> </Parameter> <Parameter Name="viewName"> <DefaultValue>{E2168426-804F
