Drill down from chart Legend - ssrs-2008

I'm building report using SSRS 2008 (Report builder 3.0)
I'm afraid I know the answer but still wondering if there is a way to link to Drill down report from the Legend area ? I know I can do it from the data labels.
Did anyone succeeded to crate some workarounds?

I won't claim this as my own but as soon as I read it I felt silly myself. ;)
Basically use a tablix next to your chart.
SSRS (Reporting Services) Separate Legend (as Tablix) From Chart or Graph with Drilldown Links

JasperReport - different orientation(landscape and portrait) in same report

As asked by few other members, on similar line, I want to have landscape orientation for only one of my subreport. I am using iReport 5.6.0 and JasperReports 5.6.0.
I searched and almost all solutions suggest to have 2 separate reports and add/append them programmatically as mentioned here.
This solution is probably not ideal for me as I have 4 dynamic subreports(can produce variable number of pages at run time) and I want only third subreport to be landscaped. So, at run time it will be difficult to identify the point to append my landscaped report.
Questions that I have:
Is this native feature now introduced in any new version of iReport to support different orientation of subreport?
If no inbuilt support in iReport, how can I programatically add
subreport in between, if I don't know at which location/page the subreport will be added.
I tried to look for a solution in JasperSoft Studio as well, but not success.
Thanks in advance.
Starting with JasperReports v6.0 you may achieve what you want with a Report Book. It is basically a report bundle where each report can have a different orientation.
But since Jaspersoft Studio(with version 5.5.0) became the official design client for JasperReports, you will not find this feature in iReport. So starting with Jaspersoft Studio v6.0 you will be able to use it.

Project Server SSRS report - One report dynamically including multiple reports

I am not an expert at SSRS but have played around with it to know my basic way around it but I am stuck on this one. This is for Project Server 2010. I am working on a task to create two reports, and combine them at the end. First report, reportA is for a single project, pulling all of it's information. reportB is for a "Portfolio" of the projects on the server.
I am being asked to create a report of them merged. I guess we will call this reportC. reportC will have reportB at the very top, listing all of the projects and other basic information. If reportB has 10 projects listed, 10 reportAs (having information for every single project listed) and all their information, will be aggregated to the bottom of the report.
I tried looking into subreports but do not think this is what I am looking for because it doesn't look as if subreports can be added dynamically, unless I'm wrong. Any ideas on how to easily complete this? I appreciate any help I can get.
EDIT: Here is an example. No it wont be aligned like that. They gave me their example in Excel. It does not necessarily mean that reportC has to be through Excel. Could this be possible running a script of some kind or similar?
Basic Example
I recently did something very similar myself.
What you could do, is in report A, place a table at the bottom where each row is a sub-report (report B). This would allow for all the passed data (name, report id, etc.) to generate visible sub-reports beneath the origin report.
Then, if you want each sub-report on its own page, you can go under group properties and add a page-break after each group.

interactive jasper reports

I am using jasper reports in my project to generate html reports. But the generated reports are static. Now we want to add some interactive features in it, like simple sorting and searching of columns. This is preferably to be done the client side. How can this be achieved ? So far I have tried to embed jquery into the generated report with no luck. Does jasper report provide such kind of functionality?
Use parameters and re compile the report every time you want to filter the data.
With your meaning of the word "interactive", nope that is not possible. A report is only a report - a presentation medium that shows data in such manner that is required by the business rule. You can format data here. You can stylize it, add image and what not. A client side application is probably what you want.
Well, your exact requirement can be achieved if you publish the Jasper Reports on the Jasper Server. Once published, all your reports become interactive (For Charts, you must use the PRO charts and not the basic HTML charts but for tables, it works automatically.)
Once you publish it on the Jasper Server, the features that you get are:
Sort button with various types
Export the Report to many formats (PDF, XML, etc - more than 10).
Zoom IN and Zoom Out.
Bubble for your charts making them interactive, etc.
Yes, interactivity is possible in Jasper Reports, but the thing is that you need a Jasper Server Pro or Enterprise version for achieving this. If you are using a community version, it is impossible to create interactive reports. You can download the free trail pro version of jasper server for 60 days from this link https://www.jaspersoft.com/download

Avoid scaling in Crystal Reports 2008

We have a problem when printing reports from within our application.
We want to avoid, that the print function in Crystal Reports 2008 scales reports automatically, so that the full report content fits into the printable area of the specific printer.
The predecessor Crystal reports 11 did not scale anything, that’s what we want to achieve for Crystal Reports 2008.
Sadly the following code throws an exception:
Dim layout As New CrystalDecisions.Shared.PrintLayoutSettings
'Disable scaling, does not work
layout.Scaling = PrintLayoutSettings.PrintScaling.DoNotScale
crystalReport.PrintToPrinter(printerSettings:=printerSettings,
pageSettings:=pageSettings,
reformatReportPageSettings:=False,
layoutSettings:=layout)
Interestingly the SAP Crystal Report Viewer 2008 prints reports correctly, without scaling, so we guess the functionality exists.
Have you tried this setting?
crystalReport.PrintOptions.DissociatePageSizeAndPrinterPaperSize
Have you tried setting this registry key?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BusinessObjects\Suite12.0\CrystalReports\DesignerOptions
"DealWithMinimalMarginsWhenPrinting"="0"
From SAP forum. Did not work for us, but we are using CR for VS 2010.
According to this it might not be possible. The only workaround, we found so far, is to set your margins to printable area. Might not work for you.
In our case, we're using the custom paper size (8.27x8.75) and in crystal report viewer the scaling and centre settings were greyed out while set to True as described in the question above. By adding our custom paper size in the printer properties (customer paper) the problem has been fixed.

JasperReports: Time series chart

I'm new to JasperReports and it own related technologies.
And I look for a guide for the time series chart, becuase I read the book but in the chart chapter is shown only pie chart and it is too simple
Kindly regards!
Joksy
This tutorial seems pretty straight forward.
It should point you in the right direction.
Please note jasper reports uses the JFreeChart library so you might need to download it.
