I have a live report that's somehow showing cached data despite the fact that I've disabled all caching (that I'm aware of). When I run the query in the BIDS query editor, it shows the current data. But in the BIDS preview and the actual deployed report , it's still showing out of date data. I tried toggling the report caching on then back off in the report properties on the reporting website, and I went into the IIS HTTP Header properties and set content to 'Expire Immediately'. I've seen this issue before in the BIDS preview window due to the .data file stored with the report definition

Is there an easy way to track who is running a given report in SSRS 2005, and at what time they are running that report? We have about 80 reports in our SSRS implementation, and are trying to see if there's any that we can safely put out to pasture. If we could easily see somehow which reports aren't being used, that would help us. Any ideas? xan There is some good advice and queries for generating reports on this in the following article . For example, if you want to see the most used reports, you can do the following: SELECT COUNT(Name) AS ExecutionCount, Name, SUM(TimeDataRetrieval) AS

We are upgrading our report server from SSRS 2005 to SSRS 2008 R2. I have an issue with CSV export rendering for SSRS 2008 where the SUM of columns are appearing on the right side of the detail values in 2008 instead of the left side like in 2005 as shown in the below blocks. 117 and 131 are the sums of Column2 and Column3 respectively. SSRS 2005 CSV Output Column2_1,Column3_1,Column2,Column3 117,131,1,2 117,131,1,2 117,131,60,23 117,131,30,15 117,131,25,89 SSRS 2008 CSV Output Column2,Column3,Column2_1,Column3_1 1,2,117,131 1,2,117,131 60,23,117,131 30,15,117,131 25,89,117,131 I understand

I'm attempting to show a sum in a table footer on a report. It will be in the body of the report and can't be in the header or footer. The table footer repeats on each page but should show the sum only on the last page. It will show another piece of text on all other pages. Is this possible? Additional pieces of information: The detail part of the table isn't a consistent height, but the page is a consistent height. I can't assume a standard number of detail items per page. Just to be clear. I was talking about adding it to table footer and not the page footer. It should still be in the page

How can SSRS 2005 represent two chart types (i.e., bar and line) on the same chart? I am trying to create a graph that looks like the professionally crafted image below: The chart would have one series represented as bar graphs and then two other series represented as overlapping line graphs. I have the line graphs working as two independent series and I can write my SQL query to return empty values for the months of the bar graph series and empty values for the years on the two line series to prevent overlapping, but I don't see how to specify a chart type per series. Realistically, can this

Using BIDS 2005 to create rdl reports. I want to have the report aggregate all the strings in a data group. I was looking for something along the lines of Concatenate(Fields!CompanyName.Value, ","), or Join, or equivalent. But it would have to iterate over all the records in the scope given. I am creating a report of a user's activities in a calendar format (looking like the google's month view calendar) But if a user has multiple activities on a single day I want all of them to show up in the same 'day box'. Is this a problem needing aggregation or is there some other way to get a SSRS report

Is there a way to export to excel from an SSRS report so that the header that displays on the first page of the report is omitted only in the excel export? Currently, it adds a frozen frame to the top of the worksheet. Chris Latta Update Also see my answer about how to add a new Excel rendering option that strips the header Original answer follows: If you can get the URL for the Excel output (some versions of SSRS leave the browser displaying it), you can append some code to the end: &rc:SimplePageHeaders=True This removes the header. This is a manual hack that comes in handy, or you can add

I am building an SSRS 2005 report using BIDS. My report filters on date. When the selected date returns no data rows the report is blank, just the title is displayed, no table or column heading. How can I change this to display a message like No data available. or Report is empty. ? You could set the property NoRowsMessage available on the report's table control like this: Select the Tablix control and press F4 to view the Properties pane. Find the NoRowsMessage property and set the value to whatever message you'd like. You can also to format the message using the Font and TextAlign properties
