I'm editing a JasperReports's report in iReport designer and I have a table that I want to make sortable by every column by clicking in the column head.
I have started adding sort buttons from the palette, and I have set the sort property, but every time I generate the report, the buttons never show up and there's nothing to click. There's only the table.
What's the best way to add sorting functionality to your table?
The table itself contains the functionality of sorting,filtering and hiding the column.
So just a simple table would do.
Thanks

I have been hiding my columns in the table based on the columns I want to hide by passing parameters boolean value to false. It is all working fine, but the problem is when I hide the columns the whole table look likes it has moved to the left and it appears even more weird when I try hide 3 or more columns. I some how need to figure it out and bring the table to the center of the containner after hiding the columns that needs to be hidden. I not able to find any properties to make this change in jaspersoft. Please help me do this.
MY TABLE WITHOUT HIDING
AFTER HIDING THE COLUMNS
How could I make my table center align to the container of that respective band
Duplicated data is coming in my report because source table has duplicate data. Without creating group, I want to hide duplicate data writing expression. So what I did: I select table row and put a expression for hidden property of table row.
The expression was like =(Previous(Fields!ID.Value) = Fields!ID.Value)
but it did not work ... Still duplicate data is showing. So tell me how to suppress duplicate rows in ssrs writing expression not by grouping.
You probably should try these options first:
Try to clean the duplicate data at the source.
Change your source query so the duplicates don't appear in the dataset. (e.g. SELECT DISTINCT)
If not, on the row's Visibility Hidden property you can use the Previous function:
=iif(Fields!YourField.Value = Previous(Fields!YourField.Value), True, False)
You would have to sort on the YourField column for it to work.
I was putting the expression above also until I started using the "Hide Duplicates" line in the properties pane. You basically just select the row, in the dropdown choose your Dataset and that's it. any duplicates will be hidden. Also if you just want to hide certain textboxes duplicates you can do the same as i stated earlier except click on the textbox and not the row. Just another alternative, i'm aware you said using an expression.
You can do it using expression or "Hide Duplicates" options from cell or row properties.
Expressions :
=IIF(Fields!YourField.Value = Previous(Fields!YourField.Value), True, False)
Hide Duplicates Steps:
Select row or cell
Click on F4 key on your Keyboard
Look for "Hide Duplicates"
Choose your DataSet from the dropdownlist
Done, I hope that helps
As an alternative option, you can do it by setting row groups. In a report I was trying to create, the Hide Duplicates property wouldn't behave correctly because of using the same dataset multiple times in a list container.
All you need to do is set the row group properties for the default row group (rightclick the grey row header, and go to Row Group then Group Properties), and add Group expressions on the General tab. Add as many as you need for each field. It's like the Remove Duplicates tool in Microsoft Excel
Sometimes the Hide Duplicates option does apply to the report content. If you add a =Sum(Field!Field_Name.Value) sum around field in the cell, it suppresses the copy from previous record. Of course, strictly speaking this is a solution where the incoming data set has NULL rows for the cells with the issue.
Since the using of Previous function in SSRS compare to the only record previous to it, thus it might cause the duplicate of records still shown if the repeated records not next to each other.
Use the sorting on each table you apply the Previous function, it should resolve the "non next to each other" duplicate records as well.
I'm working with SSRS for the first time. When adding a table to a report, is there any way to add all fields of a dataset to it at once or does it have to be done individually? Drag & drop, insert column -> right is a pain when there are a lot of fields that are being displayed.
It's a bit of a workaround, but the "Add new report" wizard automatically creates a table with the specified columns and groups from your given dataset. I don't believe there's a way to trigger this functionality from within an existing report, but you could create a "sacrificial" report to get what you're looking for - run through the wizard, generate the table, and copy / paste it into your original report. As long as your datasets are the same, it should work just fine...
Hope this helps.
I have a similar problem as the op and am new to SSRS/BIDS. And, I am updating a previously created report which (for me) is too complex to just quickly re-create using the "wizard generation" as the datasource is a web service (with code-generated web service parameters, lots of calc'd datasource fields, etc). It is faster to just copy the .rdl, delete all, and create the table manually.
I thought I would add that (only a little better than op's method, but nonetheless it is time-saving) you can just drag and drop to populate columns w/o the "right click > insert column > right". Just drag the dataset field to the place you want it in the table and BIDS/SSRS will automatically insert a new column. It also helps to drag the latter columns first (i.e. always inserting a previous column) so you don't have to scroll to the right all the time.
I was looking for the similar thing and I have figured this out. Open your report in Report Builder 3.0 which is a free BI tool by Microsoft. Go to Insert > Table wizzard. Then just follow the wizard steps to generate auto columns. Save and reopen the file in your visual studio, file will refresh itself.

#Kevin Fisher actually there is no need a workaround. There is way to do this out of the box of Report Builder 3. Open your existing favorite report template. on the tool bar, click on INSERT tab, look for TABLE icon, click on the down-ward arrow at the bottom of the TABLE icon, then choose TABLE WIZARD. Then I guess you know what to do from here. -hope this help.
I agree that there is no way to bring all of the columns over from the data set to a table easily. But I came up with a method that helped me:
Insert a blank table (this usually gives you 3 columns). Then insert columns to the right of the table (right click, Insert Column, To the Right), as many times as you need in order for it to equal the number of columns in your data set.
Once you have all the blank columns created in your table, click inside a table cell box and use the drop-down to select the field. This has the added benefit of allowing you to get the fields in the correct order, since I've noticed that the field names in the dataset don't always appear in the same order as the SQL stored proc output.
I'm new to SSRS. These may be very trivial questions.
I've a SSRS report, which shows employees in row by row format. Is there any way that I can double click on a row and get the corresponding employeeID of the row. And another question is can I have check boxes in each of the rows so that I can do something based on the rows that was checked? Please help.
Thanks in advance.
To your first question regarding dynamically hiding and showing the employeeid, you would want to use the Visibility property on the employeeid column,row or textbox and set visibility to "HIDE" and check "Display can be toggled by this report item" This will allow you to interactive show/hide the data.
Toggled Item Example
Another quick and easy option would be to set the tooltip property of one of the employee textboxes to
=Fields!EmployeeID.Value
This would give you the employeeid without clicking anything, just hovering over the field.
For your second question about checkboxes, the easy answer is no, it's not built-in to do that. But I have seen interactive "game" reports that run stored procedures to update data as you click on textboxes (which you could make to appear as checkboxes) and drill-through to itself to show refreshed data, but it's more of a hack than actual functionality. Here's a link to one of the examples I've seen.

hello friends
i am displaying data in telerik radgrid and i want to add a autocomplete text box with query button to select the particular row using one column for binding.
Can any one provide me a hint?
it has been almost a complete day but im getting no help.
How about using the solution from here? There is a textbox in the command item which filters the records by specified column values (the column is chosen from a dropdown beside the textbox).
