I am creating a report that generates a timeline calendar. I managed to make it work but now I'm stuck with the new problem. I don't know how to merge the cell column with the same year value dynamically. I have no idea how to do this. I am no expert when creating reports. But I think it's very simple to others. Please help.
You don't merge the cells in order to do that.
You have to create a (parent of month) column group (in tablix or matrix) and set the Year as the group value.

I am creating a Report on RDLC. Lets say i have 2 tables in database where im importing data from users and expenses.
Each user can have multiple Expenses. Expenses contain Details and amount just 2 columns that i have to include in the report.
Ive created a stored procedure but its duplicating rows because of having same UserId in expenses. So far im able to achieve this.
See This Picture
What i wanted is that One row with column bulty id and other details with multiple sub rows of expenses.
How can i achieve this. I've tried hide duplicate property in RDLC but its showing duplicate column fields
This is what i wanted to achieve
See image
in this case, I use matrix tool in RDL file.
you should set expenses the ColumnGroup of the matrix
Solved it by doing the Master/Detail Approach. Put 2 tablix in the list. on the first tablix set user details and made a row group so that the values dont repeat and then on the second tablix used the additional data fields.
Then dragged this additional data tablix into the row of first tablix and everything seems to work just fine.
For serial numbering i used Counting distinct values according to my userid
i am doing a Lab Test web application Project.In this ,Customer will apply a order with list of lab Test.Once the lab test completed , i need to create a report with all the test conducted. The test will be different from each other.i can create a query for desired result.but the Table columns will be dynamic and number of tables(different test have different table) also will be dynamic.
As far as i know , we can create one static report format and bind the data table to it.or we can create a row group and colum group in matrix(i got from some links)and dynamically hide and visible the column.
my requirement is bit different and i can't make it static. is there any way to do this dynamic in SSRS Or any other tool ?. Or i have to go back to old school where i need to create report format(excel,pdf)in code(C#). Please advice some tips, Links or article which can solve this issue. help is appreciated.
As far as I understood your requirement, you need to have different tables(in regards to columns and style) for different tests.
For this you just need to add seperate tablix for each test (assuming you have limited number of tests) and then you need to set filters and visibilty expression on each tables based on specific 'test name'.
Just Right click on top-left corner of the tablix.
Click on Tablix Properties.
In Tablix Properties window:
Go to Visibility Tab for setting expression for show/hide the tablix.
Go to Filter Tab and add value and expression for filtering dataset.
I hope this fulfills your requirement.
Given a data set containing multiple rows, from within a .NET console application I need to generate a report on a single page for each row, sending those pages directly to the printer.
I am attempting to use Microsoft Report for this by attaching it to a data set and placing TextBoxes where I wish. Generating the report and sending it to the printer are not a problem. Unfortunately, the data only seems to be available in aggregates -- First, Sum, Last, Max, etc. I cannot latch the text box to a bare field.
Some poking around here and other sites seems to address this, but only when the data is presented in a table. One post even said without elaboration, "My mistake was using Text Boxes"
Am I using the wrong tool for what I am attempting to accomplish?
I ran into the same problem and managed to solve it. The solution seems a little convoluted to me so don't quote me on the "right" way to do this, but here is what I did:
Make sure you have a Dataset defined for your report.
Add a "Table" control to the report. This seems to be needed in order to iterate the rows in your Dataset.
Delete the header row and two of the default columns from the table so that you are left with a single row with a single column.
Expand the table to the width of your layout and make it as tall as you will need for your "free form" layout.
By default, there is a TextBox inside the table cell. Right-click the empty table cell and choose "delete" to remove that TextBox.
Drag a "Rectangle" control into the empty table cell. It seems to automatically "dock" to the width/height of the table cell.
Now you should be able to drag the fields from your DataSet (TextBoxes, etc) into the Rectangle to produce the desired layout.
Note that I am in the early stages of using this approach so I'm not sure if I am going to hit any walls... but for a basic report that uses TextBoxes and a page break after each "row" it seems to be working ok.
Or you try to use a list.
In the list you can arange textboxes (and other controls) as you want and they will be filled for each record in the recordset.
This work for me. :-)
I am developing application in C# Windows Forms, i make crystal reports on the basis of data collection list in c#, for example i have a table having EmpID, Name, Sponsor, Job Title, Nationality etc. I bring them in collection in c# and pass it to crystal report, where i see my attributes in Database fields, if i drag and drop those fields on the report, for example Name, Job Title, Nationality, then i can see their columns coming in Details section, but the issue is, i have about 25 attributes and i have made a check list of 25 attributes in c#, if i check 13 attributes, it should make a report of 13 columns, the problem is, we make report in crystal report on the basis of drag and dropping fields, how can i dynamically do this, means if there are 13 fields selected in c# check list, there should be just 13 columns in report. Please find the image attached, "How currently i am doing" Please zoom it by right click on it, and open in new window.
I think that the easiest way to approach this, considering data type representations and all of the Crystal complexity under the covers, is to layout your report with all 25 fields sized appropriately.
Then, at runtime, you will need to reposition the report objects, which could be a little tricky due to the relatively unstructured way in which crystal provides the information.
The way I would approach this is to loop through the report objects and generate one SortedList for the data fields and one SortedList for the header fields. They should be sorted on their Left position so that you can process them in appearance order.
Once you have the sorted lists of objects, you can cycle through each one and, if it was not selected by the user, set the Width to 0.
As you are moving through the fields, you will keep track of the current left position. The first field that you process will set your starting point, even if it is not visible. Then, for all subsequent fields, if the field is visible, you will set its left value to the current left position, then add its width plus some separator space to the current left position for the next field.
Hopefully this will help you solve your problem.
It sounds like this would be a good place for a cross-tab report. In this case you'd need to add a cross tab to your report header or footer and pass your data into the report with a column for each attribute descriptions and then group on the attribute description. See below for details:
Data:
RowID ColDesc ColValue
1 Attr1 Value1
1 Attr2 Value2
2 Attr1 Value3
Then you can add your crosstab where your row field is RowID, your column field is ColDesc and the field to summarize is ColValue. You can use a Max of summary on the summarized field since it is different.
This is untested, but I believe that the output for this should be:
CrossTab:
Attr1 Attr2
1 Value1 Value2
2 Value3
As you can see that as you add a new attribute it will show up as a new column in the crosstab. As I said previously, this is untested so I apologize for any errors, but I hope it is enough to help you out. Thanks

Crystal Reports will not automatically add columns & headers to a report given a list of fields.
My recommendation is to use the Report Application Server .NET SDK to dynamically alter a report. The link includes the API reference, as well as samples.
I'm creating a PDF document using iTextSharp. I see how to create a new table with a number of columns but I can't see anyway to dynamically add a new column. The problem I have is I'm not going to know the number of columns I need straight away, so need to keep adding them
Can somebody please enlighten me or am I going to have to re-create the table each time I need to add a column?
Thanks

Wouldn't it then make sense to create an intermediate model which contains the table you want, and is capable of then creating the PDF table for you?
I know it sounds like a lot of work, but in the long run it should help in that you would be able to dynamically alter the rows and columns as you build them, and then at the end, simply "compile" the table and spit out the PdfPTable object?
PdfPTable tables are immutable as far as column count goes once created.
The only workaround I can think of is to start with a Whole Bunch of columns and... nope that won't work either. You cannot even add cells to an existing row. I was thinking you could play around with the column spanning to mask your extra columns and adjust them as you added more cells to the rows, but that won't work either.
You must rebuild the table when adding columns. No way around it.
I strongly recommend you figure out how to determine your column count before creating the table in the first place... even if you have to "dry run" through your data. Use some intermediate format (String[][] or whatever) to keep your data, then build the table from that, not the data as it comes to you. Or at least track how many columns you'll need.
Given a huge amount of data, a single pass may not be practical/possible. But rebuilding your whole table several times can't be much better. That's really a performance tuning question that only you have the information to answer.
ITextSharp tables work in a different way to HTML tables (which I guess you're used to).
All you need to tell it is the number of columns you have and then keep adding cells.
Say you create a pdfptable with 5 columns. The 5th cell you add will be on the first row and the 6th cell will be in the 1st column on your 2nd row.
The only downside to this is if you need to add rows where not all the cells are populated but I usually get around this by just adding an empty cell or a cell with a space in it.
