distributed queries

Hi all,
Do you know that can we use 'distributed queries' in reporting services to
create rdl report or use linked server as datasource.
please advise if any direction, many thanks.
e.g.
SELECT s.sales_amount
FROM access_server...region AS r,
oracle_server..sales_owner.sale AS s,
sql_server.customer_db.dbo.customer AS c
where r.region_id=s.region_id
and s.customer_id=c.customer_id
and r.region_name='Southwest'
and c.customer_name='ABC Steel'Any legal queries can be used. To do something like this you need to switch
from graphical mode to non-graphical mode. There is a button to the right of
the ... that accomplishes this. Just hover your mouse over the buttons to
find the right one.

thing.
What you need to do is two steps. First, you cannot use the Report Wizard.
You need to create an empty report. Right mouse click on Reports, Add -> New
Item. Select Report. You get a blank report.
Second, Click on the dataset tab. Add a new dataset (drop down
combobox),Switch to non-graphical mode. Put in your SQL code.
Go to the dataset tab in the report designer, then do as I mentioned.

Displaying Price in Microsoft reporting services

hai

I am using Microsoft reporting services.
I am using XSD as report datasource to bind data to the report
In the report, i want to display Amount in french belgiun format in a column eg. 123.456,00 €
While passing the value through datasource, i cant able to pass the value as decimal.
I am only passing it as string. While exporting to excel ,i cant able to make calculations on this field
because it is exported as string.
Is there is any other way to dispaly the value as 123.456,00 € in the report and exported to excel as numeric
to perform calculations
Plz give your suggestions

Regards,

Sakthi

hai

I have solved this problem by using Laguage property for the report.

You can change the report language to french -belgium

And now you can able to display decimal value in french format

displaying one data record

Hi all, this is a very basic question of diplaying a data.
on my aspx page I have datasource that will return only ONE record.

<asp:SqlDataSource ID="sdsCategoryName" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:KaruselaConnectionString%>"
SelectCommand="SELECT Title FROM tbh_Categories WHERE CategoryID=@.categoryID ">
<SelectParameters>
<asp:QueryStringParameter DefaultValue="-1" Name="CategoryID" QueryStringField="id" Type="int32"/>
</SelectParameters>
</asp:SqlDataSource>

on the server side I would like to manipulate the title of the page according to the data returned from the query:

and on the behind code

if (!this.IsPostBack && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(this.Request.QueryString["ID"])) { DataView dv2 = (DataView)sdsCategoryName.Select(arg);this.Title =string.Format(this.Title, dv2.Table.Columns[0].ToString()); dv2.Dispose(); }

of course it doesn't work. my question is this. do we really have to put the query datasource on the client side?

and secondly, how can I view the recorsd I recieves from the query?

Thanks for the help.

on yours code behind file write this code>>>>

add namespace

System.Data.SqlClient;

and on load event write

SqlConnection sqlconn = new SqlConnection("yourconnectionstring");

SqlCommand sqlcomd=new SqlCommad("SELECT Title FROM tbh_Categories WHERE CategoryID=@.categoryID ",sqlconn);

sqlcomd.CommandType= CommandType.Text;

sqlcomd.Parameter.Add(new SqlParameter("@.catergoryID") ,SqlDbType.NChar ,10);

sqlcomd.Parameter["@.categoryID"].Value = Request.QueryString["ID"];

SqlDataAdapter myadp = new SqlDataAdapter(sqlcomd);

DataTable dt = new DataTable();
myadp.Fill(dt);

Label1.Text= dt.Rows[0].ItemArray.GetValue (0).ToString ();

Mark post as answer if it helped u>>>

Have a great day!

Does anyone know how to display datasource information in the header of a report?

Sorry, this is currently not supported through the ReportObjectModel accessible by RDL expressions.

Aside from Value, can you tell me what properties are avaliable via the ReportObjectModel please? I can't find any help on this.
