Need Direction on report

Report Designer (standalone)

Billie asked on 22 Mar 2012, 02:19 AM

I am an untrained volunteer, attempting to solve a reporting problem.

I am experimenting with the standalone version of the report designer to see if it is a reporting solution that will work for me.

I am able to generate the reports I need individually, by inserting three where variables into the select statement. as follows

Select * from B_MRDATA where System = 'Inglemoor' and Level = 'Rookies' and Split = 'None'
Order By last

There are potentially 309 combinations of the three variables System, Level, and Split. Not all those combinations will be used.. Is there a way to automate a process and generate all the required reports at once?

Here is the xml code for one of the reports - I deleted the connection string.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me - Billie

Hello Billie,

You can create the report with ReportParameters. Then you can add parameters to your sqlDataSource (instead of hard-coded values). The sqlDataSource parameters will get their values from the report parameters (see Using parameters with sqlDataSource). This way you can easily generate the reports you need with minimum effort. Almost all of our demos are built on this concept, you can review them (there is also a video of the report building process for each demo).
