SSRS 2008 R2 Trendlines

NHSNick — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 08:19:41 +0000

I cannot find out how to add trendlines to my SSRS 2008 R2 report. TechNet http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd207034.aspx refers to a ‘Values’ area and an option to ‘Add Calculated Series’. The ‘Values’ area I see does nothing on a “Right-click” and the option to “Add Calculated Series” I cannot find anywhere.

How to configure parameters display in SSRS 2008?

SoniaA — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 11:29:26 +0000

Hi,

I know it wasn’t possible in ssrs 2005 to have parameters displayed into more than 2 columns.

My question is has it be solved in ssrs 2008r2 ? If yes, how can I do it ? If no, is there a possibility to walk around this issue ?

Many thanks,

Sonia

SSRS Report switch for Operational DB to DWH

An279505 — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 14:43:45 +0000

We currently are running a large report off of the operational DB but in turn used this report to create a DWH in order to get this report to run faster. Before we used a stored procedure with many smaller queries that summed our numbers. Since we have the DWH that stores all this needed data in one or two fact tables (the operational DB is highly normalized) is it better in terms of performance to create one sql statement that pulls these flags on each row (i.e. Gender – F, M, NULL) and then do a sum on the report side by using group by’s or is it a better idea to sum all the numbers in the SQL statement and just throw these summed amounts into individual text boxes?

This is the first Data Warehouse I have ever created or even seen and I am just trying to figure out the capability of this with the use of SSRS. If you need any more specifics or have further questions I can give further detail. Thanks so much!

SSRS 2008 from SSRS 2005, Authentication

MrPryor — Tue, 19 Oct 2010 10:32:56 +0000

Currently I am running a 2005 SSRS Website, and 7/9 of my
reports are done in 2005, and when I try access the 2 reports in 2008, it prompts
me to enter my user name and password again, with this converter, will it solve
this issue? I need a solution to get around the authentication of 2008 (with
its extra level of authentication) which is not in 2005 SSRS, will this help
with this issue, I have looked everywhere and there doesn’t seem to be a
solution to this problem.

User defined function for an expression

TheRicker — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 22:17:46 +0000

I have a user defined function that returns a single scalar value, e.g. a formatted name. Is it possible to reference the UDF as the value of a field in SSRS 2008? If so, how? Thanks.
