Address1, Address2 and Address3

I have a requirement to have a mailing label the can have up to 3 Address
fields
Homer Simpson
Address Line 1
Address Line 2
Address Line 3
Springfield, IL 999999
If 2 an 3 are not used I would like the City State and Zip to move up under
Address line 1, right now there are blank lines between Address 1 and
City/State.
I'm using a Table RDL element to display the fields.
JeffExcellent idea! I tried that on one of my reports and it seems to work
well.

Your solution Hides the row (makes invisible) but the rows don't get removed
to bring Address 1 and Address 3, if there is no value in Address 2.
Can you suggest a solution?
It seam like we need a property to "align" the rows "Bring Together"

I selected the row (click on the grey box outside [to the left] of the
table) and then navigated to the properties window. Expand visibility. I
added the following expression under Hidden:
=iif(isnothing(Fields!AddlInfo.Value),True,False)
(My column is called AddlInfo)

Address layout-no blank line

I'm using SQL Server Reporting Services and need to generate a report listing
addresses. I have to accomodate two address lines. How can I set it up so
that if there is no second address no blank line appears on the reportOn Oct 18, 11:14 am, Jeannie <Jean...@.discussions.microsoft.com>

I'm assuming you are using a table data region. Set the Hidden
property for the second line/row to somthing like this:
=IIF(addressline2 = Nothing, True, False)
Make sure you set the property for the row and not individual cells
otherwise it will not close the white space left by the hidden row.
HTH
toolman|||I'm VERY NEW to this product. How do you set up a table data region?
Otherwise your reply makes perfect sense.

Jeanie,
This would be much easier if you based your entire report on a table
as opposed to a bunch of text boxes in a list. In my experience with
reporting, tables are the way to go. If you're not sure whether you
can do this, post an example of how you want the report to look and
maybe I can help.
Assuming we can do this in just a table:
Let's start from a blank slate.
In Layout mode, delete the table, then delete the list so that your
report body is empty.
Now, instead of placing your table inside a list, just place a table
directly into the report body.
Drag and drop your fields from the Datasets pane into the table. You
can add additional rows and columns as necessary.
Once you've got all the fields in place, right click the detail row
handle (gray box with three horizontal lines in it on the far left
side of the table) that contains your second address.
>From the drop down, select Properties to open the Properties pane.
Find and expand the Visibility property by clicking the plus sign
box.
Now click the right side of the Hidden property where it says False.
Then click the drop down arrow and select the <Expression> option.
In the text window of the resulting Edit Expression dialog, overwrite
'False' with the IIF statement. Make sure to include the = sign.
Click OK and then preview the report.
With any kind of luck it should perform as we hope.|||I've managed to create the table, but the blank address lines are still
printing.
Here is the formula I've used: =IIF(Fields!partneraddress2.Value = Nothing,
True, False). I've attached this to the row property, not the field.
I want the report to look like this
ABC Recycling
555 Adams Drive
Marietta, GA 30303 USA
Since there is no partneraddress2, the line is hidden( There is actually a
partneraddress3, but I assume I would follow the same procedure as address2)
Thanks for your help

Now I'm perplexed. I know it works, having done it in most of my
address list reports. I even copied and pasted your expression
directly into one of my existing reports and it worked (all I changed
was the field name). You might try ="" instead of =Nothing but if
your field is truly empty, this shouldn't make a difference. Beyond
that I'm stumped. Sorry|||Sory about the delay in responding. But i didn't return to the client's site
until today. I am happy to say that with your help, I figured it out. The
reason it didn't work is because the cells, that appeared to be null,
actually had 40 spaces in them! Today I ran a query and looked at the data
and noticed that all the 'empty" cells had a block highlighted when I
positioned my cursor on the cell. So I changed the Iif statement to
acknowledge the spaces and it worked.
Thank you so much for your help!

Adding to the Toolbar

Is there a way to add text to the toolbar (that contains the export choices,
refresh button, paging, etc)? I would just like to put a line that says
"You must export before you can print".
Thanks in advance,
MelissaSP1 allows some modifications to the HTML Viewer toolbar through a style
sheet. Check out

Adding line sequence numbers

hi all

I am stuck with something that seems easy but im obviously clueless as how to execute the idea.

I have a custom table that houses invoices on the details level. So for example i have:

InvcNo
00000001
00000001
00000001
00000002
00000002
00000003

and so forth

What I am wanting to do in another column is keep track of the sequence number for each distinct invoice like:

SeqNo
1
2
3
1
2
1

I am working in a stored proc and i cant get past adding the numbers up at each line as a whole and not reseting when the next invoice number is present. Any help would be so greatly appreciated.

ThanksWill this help?

I am not able to add a line break after each Group. When I use (Add PageBreak after Group) property, each group is displaying in seperate pages, but i need to have groups continous with a line break between Groups.I greatly appreciate for the help.
Thanks in advance...

Hi,

Have you checked 'Page break at start' or 'Page break at end' in Group Property Dialog ?

Best Regards

Adding Field or Stored Procedure to MSDE

Is there a way to add a field or a stored procedure to a server running MSDE? Like a script on the command line or?? how can this be done.

Thank you,Sure can. Check out the osql command-line utility, which lets you run individual T-SQL statements or script files. Or, there are several tools you can use to manage MSDE:

ASP.NET Enterprise Manager, an open source SQL Server and MSDE management tool.

ASP.NET WebMatrix (which includes a database management tool) from this web site (click on the Web Matrix tab at the top of this page).

Microsoft's Web Data Administrator is a free web-based MSDE management program written using C# and ASP.NET, and includes source code.

You can also access MSDE using Access.

Don|||If I write a stored procedure and then script it, how can I use osql to run the script and add the sp to a database on the server? Can you show me an example? Do I create a cmd file that contains the script?

Thank you,|||Here's how you run a script file:

osql -E -i "myScripts.sql"

And to run a line of T-SQL directly:

osql -E -Q "DROP DATABASE pubs"

There are a gaggle of options for osql, so you'll need to look at the docs to use the ones appropriate for your setup.

Adding Carriage Return and Line Feeds to a text box

Hi All,

I am trying to print 10 values in a single cell in a text box.....

To make it readable I put carriage returns and line feeds into the boxes.

These rendered ok in visual studio but did not render ok in explorer....no carriage return or line feed.

This is what I added...

=Fields!segment_sdesc_00.Value & chr(10) & chr(13)

Can anyone advise me as to what is wrong with this? There must be a way to put a cr/lf or newline into a report in a text box.....

Thanks in Advance

Peter

www.peternolan.com

Try using the + sign over the ampersand.

Code Snippet

=Fields!segment_sdesc_00.Value + chr(10) + chr(13)

This has worked for me in Explorer so far.

|||

If you are working with SRS and need to combine two CRM fields together, but having each on its own line, use the following expression:

=Fields!ShipToName.Value & vbCRLF & Fields!ShipToAddress.Value

vbCRLF is a special system constant that contains the values of carriage return and line feed characters.

- Mitch Milam’s Microsoft Discussions

Hi All,

thanks for the tips...will try both....

Hi Simone,

some of the fields are numbers and from memory it complained about the plus sign when there was a mixture of numeric and string fields...but I will try again.

Thanks

Peter

Adding an additional Subscription to Merge Replication

I have two servers in a merge replication setup (linked every night using an ISDN line). I wish to add a new subscriber to this but I am not sure if I need to do a new snapshot.
I was thinking of using the latest backup from the publisher and recover this on the new subscriber - if I do this will i need
to run the snapshot again ? or will they all simply carry on with the merge...
Thanks
Gerry
you have to create a no-sync subcription which will run the snapshot only
for necessary merge replication metadata.
