I have a table Called EmployeeTypes which hold types of Employees, now i want to create a report using SSRS which will have something like this:
EmployeeType1 EmployeeType2 EmployeeType3
4 23 2
where the numbers are the count of employees.
problem is how can i generate the columns programmatically like that as the EmployeeTypes Table can have many Types and expand by time?
It sounds like you are looking for a cross tab report, using a data set like select count(*), employee_type from employee_table group by employee_type.
You can use the report wizard to create a 'Matrix' report type (as opposed to a 'Tabular' report type). The wizard will guide you through the steps to get what you need.
An SSRS report is defined by an XML file (the .RDL or .RDLC file). You could generate columns programmatically by directly modifying the XML. Not for the faint of heart, but people do it, and it can be done.
Here is a sample:

I'm using C# and Entity Framework.
I created the dataset to display data from it:
With only one table(buildings), i created my crystal report very well.
But now, i want to create another one that display:
name_b, Adresse_b,date
the number of appartements of a building
the number of shared_areas of a building
and the name of the user.
I have to write a query in the crystalReportViewer1_Load and set it as datasource or what?
Thank you to help me.
There are a few options -
1. In your current report, group the report by Building, then
create a sub-report containing all of the details (name,
address,etc) and place it into the group footer in the main (outer)
report. Link the report by ID_Building. This will show you all of
the details for each building.
2. In you current report, add all of the tables to the data connection (database expert); then group the report as desired (by building, Apartment, etc).
You can create running totals to get the count of apartments and the number of shared_areas.
I ask for advice what would you suggest to display 2 unrelated tables in a single report (if needed with subreport), the first one with groupings and the second one "flat"?
Details:
I am developing a report with C# 4 and Crystal Reports for Visual studio.
Data comes from a Stored procedure in Sql Server 2005, that returns 2 tables.
I pass the data to the report with the .SetDataSource(Dataset) method and I checked that data in the dataset is correct.
I need to display the data from the first table in a quite complex form with different sections. This part works.
At the end of the report I need to print the data from the second table (no grouping, just a "flat" print). To do this I added a subreport.
The tables are not related. I added a Dummy field on them with the same value and used it to mimic a relation in the database expert; I configured the subreport link, based on the dummy field.
I have 2 problems.
The data in the main report is cross joined with the second table (I could expect that since they are related with a constant field)
The subreport is always empty (I checked several times that its table in datasource contains correct data).
I tried different configurations of link and tried to place the subreport in different sections (It should be in the report footer).
I set a border around the subreport: the border is printed but inside it is empty.
I also setup a formula to count the records of both tables and put the count in the report: the count is > 0 for both.
Your approach looks wrong.... At first if both are not releated I don't see any use in creating a dummy field and linking tables which will always provide cross join. Any way as per your descrition table 1 data is saperately displayed and table 2 data is saperately displayed
As per your description in main report you need data from table 1 and in footer you need data from table 2.
Try this approach:
Don't link tables
take table 1 in main report and show the required display.
Take sub report and in that take only table 2 and display in footer and make sure don't link main report and sub report nor link two tables.
Ideally speaking, without linked table not used in crystal report as reporting tools used to display the relevant data based on our criteria and display 2 different set of data without link does not mean as a report as well as tough to integrate in crystal report.
Tough to integrate means at any point you have to link the table either via union in sqlserver or at crystal report side, other wise it display as Cartesian.
As per my thoughts you can do it by some approach.
Approach 1 : You can get the data by union or unionAll with set of columns and filter the data where table's column does not have null value ie.
http://www.maximumimpactsolutions.co.uk/blog/comments.asp?bd=118
Table1col1 Table1col2 Table1col3 Table2Col1 Table2Col2 Table2Col3
value value value null null null --table1data
null null null value value value --table2data
Approach 2 : Second is sub-report, but still need the linked as you already done. But there is proper rule to be set (this is very very tedious job).
Approach 3 : Generate 2 report at c# side and merge into one PDF, then export it.

I would like to know if anyone knows if it is possible to run a SAP User Compare from c# using ERPConnect 4 from Theobald? If so, how?
I can open a connection to SAP and run functions - just don't know how to do User Compare.
EDIT:
It seems like we have to run the report PFCG_TIME_DEPENDENCY.
If anyone knows how to run a report with ERPConnect, or if there exists a functional module in SAP that can run a report, that will also help.
I am not exactly sure what your comparison has to include, but I assume, that you want to compare attributes of the users. If that is the case, you could download the users data from the SAP tables. Here is a starting point for what tables you probably need: http://www.tcodesearch.com/sap-tables/detail?id=USR01
USER01 is the user master record, containing all user with it's main attributes. You can find other interesting related user table through the link above.
To read a table using Erpconnect, look at this link: https://my.theobald-software.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/21/23/reading-sap-tables-directly
You need to create an instance of the ReadTable class. Then you add the fields you are interested in using the AddField method (e.g. MANDT and BNAME for the USR01 table). You could but don't have to enter filter criteria using the AddCriteria method. If you do add multiple creteria, be sure to add boolean operators like "and" or "or":
table.AddCriteria("LANGU = 'D'");
table.AddCriteria("AND MANDT = '007'");
Finally set the table name of the table you want to download and execute the Run-Method. After that you can loop through the results stored in <your RunTable-Instance>.Result.Rows

I am new to this tool, so I do not know how I can get the data of a class and show in a report.
I don't have a database, my info is stored inside variables inside classes. Like this (Folder Objetos):
My program does: Read a XML, validate with XSD, serialize in this classes.
What I want: Take that information and show in a report.
It is possible to put my data from variables in a Crystal report? Where I start?
well crystal report can take many things as " DataSource" ranging from object, datatable, dataset etc etc. without looking at the code it is hard to figure out where you are having issue.
basic syntax for crystalreport load datasource is
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument reportDoc = new CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument();
reportDoc.Load("your RPT file");
reportDoc.SetDataSource(object)
here instead of object you can use dataset, datatable etc.\
Is this what you were looking for ?
Added
reportDoc.SetDataSource(ds.Tables["YourTableName"])
Also one more thing to note is if you report requires lets say 20 fields they all must be preset in the datatable. or else it will not work. if it has any extra fields in dataset it will just ignore those
Im trying to create a report in SSRS. The report calls a stored procedure for its data. I want to display the data in a table.
But the thing is, the result from the stored procedure differs from time to time, because every customer has its own 'template'. This means the result for customer A could be :
AccountNumber | CustomerID
1234567890 0987654321
1579086421 1234565465
...................... ....................
and for customer B could be:
CustomerName | Address
Customer B Teststreet 1
Customer Test Teststreet 2
...................... ....................
There are 50 different columns to choose from. The order of the columns is also editable. My stored procedure takes care of this. The only thing I want is to put the resultset of the storedprocedure 1:1 in my report (header+body). Do you guys know how to do this?
If thats not possible, is there a C# solution to this? I.e creating a report object in C#, adjust settings etc.
Thanks
You can create the SSRS report dynamically based on the data set returned by the stored procedure. The report format (RDL) is documented and its an XML format. So you can use System.XML namespace to generate RDL. Alternate (and unsupported) way is to refer RDL object model assembly (Microsoft.ReportingServices.RdlObjectModel) - you can locate the assembly on SSRS 2008 server machine and copy it on your local machine. It offers an object model to read/generate RDL.
I have adopted approach where RDL is generated (as XML) dynamically based on the data-table and then publish the RDL on SSRS server using web services API.
One solution might be to modify your SP so that the data returned looks something like:
ColNameA DataA ColNameB DataB
AccountNumber, 1234567890, CustomerID, 948477586
AccountNumber, 5466584426, CustomerID, 458852244
Then, in SSRS drag out a table. Create a group on ColNameA. In that Group Row, place the Field ColNameA in the first Column, place ColNameB in the second column.
In the Details Row, place DataA in the first column, and DataB in the second column, and should look like this:
The sample query i used was:
select 'AccountNumber' as ColNameA, 1234567890 as DataA, 'CustomerID' as ColNameB, 0987654321 as DataB UNION
select 'AccountNumber' as ColNameA, 5546488393 as DataA, 'CustomerID' as ColNameB, 4747599393 as DataB
Getting the names of the Columns (AccountNumber, CustomerID or CustomerName, CustomerAddress) will be the key. You can get them via:
select * from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS where TABLE_NAME = 'my_table_name'
You can use the Rdlobjectmodel provided by the Report designer to create and alter a report.
You can reference the Microsoft.ReportingServices.Designer.Controls in to your project but that includes all the dependencies as well which is 20+ assembly or you can copy the following set of DLLs in a separate folder at your project root level and use it to reference the DLLs
Microsoft.ReportingServices.QueryDesigners
Microsoft.ReportingServices.Designer.Controls
Microsoft.ReportingServices.RdlObjectModel
Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportDesign.Common
Microsoft.ReportingServices.RichText
Microsoft.ReportingServices.RPLObjectModel
private Report LoadReportTemplate()
{
const string docPath = "template.rdl";//path for your template report
using (var fs = new FileStream(docPath, FileMode.Open))
{
var report = Report.Load(fs);
return report;
}
}
