I wanted to find out if there is a possibility to concatenate parameters for the title?
for example:
i have parameter of sysdate and my title of the report is Chani Test i want to see in the title
Chani Test 6.11.2018
is it possible?
I waiting for your answer
regards,
If I understand correctly, you can add a textbox and place it where you want the title to show (Remove current title). Then in the textbox type 'Chani Test', add a space and finally drag you sysdate parameter inside the textbox along with the title you just typed
In the image below, you can see the edges of the textbox and my text inside it. Please ignore my Year parameter.

As soon as we drag and drop any component we can see the component's name in a text field.. Similarly I want another Text Field with some numeric value like 1.0 , 2.0 to be generated and show it with the Component.
the issue is I am getting only 1 TEXT FIELD option.. Can you help me to understand this.enter image description here
You can have as many text fields as you want, you need to be in the shape text editor (hit F2 first so that text edit is opened, and then insert fields). Here is a video. Please note that this is not a programming question, probably should be closed here as offtopic.
I wanna put the latest date available in my data to the title. I created a calculated fild max(date). However, it's stuck in measures and not available in the menu when I choose insert in the Title menu.
Any other ideas how to handle this? Thanks!
With this approach I assume that you wanted to add last refreshed datetime to Title. If yes, then you just need to double click on Title and then in Edit Title window click on 'Insert' to select Data Update Time. Content of Edit Title box can be like -
<Sheet Name> refreshed at <Data Update Time>
Now to answer your specific question - I would recommend to create a calculated field max_date as lookup(max([Date]),0) and drag it to 'Detail' Marks. Right click it and select MDY format. After this you should have max_date field in 'Insert' option of Edit Title box. Hope this helps!
Don't forget to let us know if it solved your problem :)
What actually helped to solve the problem is to use LOD. So my calculated field now looks like: {FIXED: MAX(date) }
To get the max date from your dataset you'll want to avoid using FIXED, INCLUDE, or EXCLUDE. The curly braces by themselves will get you what you're after.
Add that calculation to the detail shelf of the marks card so it's available to you in the title.
Once selected you'll see the max date of your dataset in the title.
Remember, it won't be available until you add it to your view.
Hope that helps!
Make another calculated field to convert your MAX date into a string:
STR([Calculation1])
Then you'll be able to add this field to your worksheet title.
In my case this issue came up when working on a dashboard and none of the other answers helped.
Create a new worksheet to use as the title in your dashboard.
In the new worksheet, create a new calculation Max([Date]) and drag it to the Text mark. Then click the Text mark and then click the ellipses, and insert the Max([Date]) into your title. Then make sure to hide your worksheet's title by clicking the 'More Options' arrow and clicking 'Title'.
Here is a tutorial to help illustrate.
I'm creating a customized report that needs to insert some variable data extracted from sql, I've create some views and formula fields, now I need to insert that data in the middle of a paragraph, but always return a blanch field.
This is possible to have?

Create a Text Box
Type Whatever you want in that text box
From the field explorer drag the field (Or formala) and place it inside the text box
Your done
Using the report-designer of Reportbuilder i want to add a long fixed text to my report with one or more included fields inside the text. Of course these fields should be filled with actual data, adjusting the text.
I remember I have done such a thing in the past, but cannot remember how. I thought you could accomplish this with a Text-field and something like 'This is the text and here {fieldname} fielddata is inserted', but that doesnt seem to work
Can anybody help?
Using reportbuilder 15.04
Response from Digital Metaphores:
Use the RichtText component! By setting MailMerge to true, you can add
datafields to text in the richtext editor
This adds the reference to the fielddata as a xml tag. Adding the fields Name from pipeline plData can be done like this:
<dbtext datapipeline='plData'>Name</dbtext>
Fill in the fixed text, then (making sure the focus is set to the text box, I.E. you have the flashing pipe cursor) right click in the place you want the data field to go, and click Create Placeholder.
In the Placeholder properties window give it a Label so you know what it is, then use the "Value" field to define what data from your datasets you want to be brought through.
You should end up with the Label you set in square brackets, like [Example] within the set text.
I have an RDL with a table/textbox visibility set to:
=iif(Fields!question_caption.Value = "OBJECTIVE 1",false,true)
I am trying to make this textbox display the value named "narrative" only if the question_caption record = "OBJECTIVE 1". How can I do this? Currently this textbox displays nothing with the above logic. I have the narrative field stored in a Placeholder if that makes any difference.
Here is some sample data for you:
create table #dummy_data
(
question_caption varchar(max),
narrative varchar(max)
)
insert #dummy_data values('1st week dates','week 1'),('2nd week dates','week 2'),('3rd week dates','week 3'),('OBJECTIVE 1','obj 1'),
('5th week dates','week 5')
select * from #dummy_data
I don't see anything wrong with your visibility expression. However, in your question, you're discussing two separate things as one (i.e., visibility & displaying a value in a placeholder).
The hidden property will show an object (tablix, textbox, image, chart, container, etc) if the expression returns false and will hide an object when the expression returns true. When I say hide, I mean that it will remove the object from the grid and, if all is setup properly, the surrounding objects will be shifted to fill the now empty space of the hidden object.
To display (or not) a value is an entirely different thing. To show or hide a value, you would put the following expression in the value property of the placeholder:
=IIF(Fields!question_caption.Value = "OBJECTIVE 1",Fields!narrative.Value,"")
Notice that I've set it up such that if the desired value of the question_caption field is present, it will display the value of the narrative field. Otherwise, it will return an empty string. This will maintain the layout of the report but simply display the desired value or an empty string, based on some criteria.
As for the issues you're current experiencing, I'm not sure why that would be happening. I would first check that you don't have a typo in the Objective 1 hardcoded value in your expression.
If this doesn't help, please comment and let me know some more information about your problem and I'll do my best to help.
