I have a simple select sql query with 2 parameters that I want it to be in my query text in main report. It returns about 100 values that I want to put in 10 subreports (10 values per subreport). On main report I need to display only one parameter. All the values from query I need to be in subreports. How do I pass them?
Connection to database is returned to me from application, parameter values also. I'm using iReport 4.7.0.
Parameters are attached to the dataset, if you expand the dataset itself, you'll find a section there for parameters, just like in your main report.
You'll need to link the parameters together though, using the connection properties where you're actually using the dataset, eg, in a chart or a table. For example, in the table, you go to the dataset tab of the properties pane, and click on the parameters button to map the parameters between your main report and your sub dataset.

I have designed two pages and each page have different table.Currently my dataset return only one user details.So i have bind all details in table.
Requirement
In case data set return two user details ,need to print two user details.First two pages for first user and second two page for second user.
Is this possible in SSRS report? If yes please guide me.
As you already have a report working for a single user then I would normally do this with subreports.
Asumming your current report accepts a userid or similar as a parameter....
Create a new new report.
Add a dataset that returns a list of users that you want to produce the report for
Add a table and set its dataset property to the name of the dataset you just created.
You can remove the header row and all columns except one from the table
In the remaining cell, right-click and choose "insert Subreport"
Right-click the subreport placeholder and choose properties
Choose your original report as the subreport
Click the parameters tab and choose the subreport property name on the left side, choose the field from your dataset that contains the userid (or whatever value you pass as a parameter) on the right side.
That's pretty much it, when you run the new report, it will produce 1 row per user, in each row it will run your subreport.
You will need to use a matrix, specifically row groups, grouping by using user details, and possible inserting a page break between each instance. This should get you going in the right direction.
I have created one JasperReports's report in iReport designer. I have added one crosstab to it and added one data source which contains one parameter.
When I run the report the value from prompt is not passed to query and result is not displayed accordingly in crosstab.
I have created same parameter in main report, datasource and crosstab. But its simply not passing to query in datasource.
Question: What is the problem?
Have you mapped the data source to crosstab..
Actually you don't really require datasource for crosstab. You can directly write the query in main report and add parameter in main report itself.
Check that.It works fine for me without datasource.
I'm using iReport Professional 5.1.0. I already used one query (some select query) in report query. But i need to use multiple queries in same report. So i tried with dataset. After creating dataset (Report Inspector -> right click Add Dataset), I've created different query. But i cant get any parameters (which is assigned to parent query column) to the newly created dataset.
My doubt is whether the dataset is applicable only to table, chart and crosstabs. If no, then explain step by step procedure to use dataset in iReport.
Parameters should be in each datasets so just copy the parameters from parent dataset and paste it in all the datasets and when you use any sub dataset for any chart, table or crosstables just pass all parameters and Expression for that parameter.
We are generating reports based on iReports and JasperReports for web application.
Using iReports I found I am struck with big problem.
I want to use two SQL query to fill up my main report...
In query designer I can only write one query..
For another query I cannot use sub-reports...
How do I write second query which will return different fields and include them in my report..
Please guide...
I cannot use sub-reports...
Yes, adding a table to your report is as easy as adding a field. Just drag it from the palette and drop it in the report where you need to have it.
Add a new Table data source. I assume this was done.
Once the data source is configured, you could design your table UI using the wizard.
just click on next or finish to close the wizard.
To add a parameter in data set (if needed), Navigate to your data set using the report inspector. Expand your data set. You would find the parameters menu. Right click to add the new parameter.
Now right click on your table and select edit table data source. Here you will find options to pass parameters to your table from the main report. Passing parameters to your table should be as simple as you do in sub reports. Select the parameter just created from the drop down list box and pass the required value.
In the Data set run Dialog box that appears, please make sure of the data set and the report connection you are using.
You are done configuring the table with this, next you will place the fields in the cells of table for displaying the data.
You are getting your document has no pages since the main report query does not return any rows i guess. For your table to be executed your main report must return at least a row
Hope this helps you.
Good Luck!!
As far as Ireports are concerned, the main report can comprise only one query. And if you wanna use multiple queries in your report, it is possible in the following ways.
Sub Report
Table Dataset.
sub Dataset.
since you don wish to use a sub report, you can go for a Table Dataset. Anything you would do with a sub report is possible with table dataset too(Except for returning variables). You can use sub datasets with charts and graphs. Table set will be of use to you i hope.
How can i create function to iterate through datatable to read value from table
e.g
Function GetVal(integer id)
//iterate here and match value from table using id
return value;
and call this function on report field
i am using crystal report 11
any clues??
Option 1: Make your function (or equivalent SQL query) outside of Crystal and link to it like any other source. The practicality of this option depends on the details of your report.
Option 2: Crystal doesn't have a built-in Get() function that I can find. So, you'll have to get creative with subreports. For example, let say's say you want to get {TargetFld} from {LookupTable} based on {CriteriaFld}:
Make a subreport. Use {LookupTable} for your data source.
When entering subreport links, choose {CriteriaFld}.
In your subreport, make a formula. Use it to create a Shared variable and set the value to whatever value you want to pass back to the main report.
Position the subreport 1 section above the section where you need to use this value. (Otherwise it won't evaluate when you expect it to).
Create the Shared variable in the main report.
Use it as normal.
If you're not familiar with subreports or shared variables, I suggest first looking them up in the Crystal help files (F11). This will make alot more sense that way.
