repeat column headers on the rdl report table - report

I have a rdl report which contains Legend, chart and rows of records below legend and chart. I got a problem here is I can repeat legent and chard for every type new item but I cannot repeat headers for rows of records. I tried with visibility but did not work. headers are simple as row in the table in rdl report which are required to show date, time, position , like that for every record coming database , any suggestions much appreciated

If you want to repeat header with each row and you are using Visual Studio for designing, it is easy:
Simply click the data row (the one in the middle), right-click it and choose Insert Row Above, in that row you can insert your header text and it will repeat with each row record.
If I haven't deciphered your question correctly, please leave a comment.

How to generate mutiple pages with BIRT Report Designer

I would like to generate multiple page of a report. The number of pages would be defined in a variable from a Data Set.
example: if the variable is set to 5, the report would be generated in 5 copies (1/5, 2/5.. 5/5).
I'm using BIRT Report Designer 4.4.0.
The rest of the report is filled with other data that would stay the same in the n pages.
I managed to show the page number and the total number of pages (the variable) but didn't manage to generate that amount of pages.
I have no clue how to proceed, so until now, I only manage to generate 1 page.
You can use either a scripted data set or some SQL statement (for e.g. on Oracle something like this)
select rownum from user_objects where rownum <= :pi_num_copies
to create a "for-loop" data set.
I would try the following.
Insert (into the report) a Table binded to your Data Set with a
single column - your "NumberOfCopies" field.
Add Group for the NumberOfCopies.
Put your repeating n-times data to the Table Detail (you can replace the original field with it). Add fixed (for
every page) info to Group header and footer.
Set After property to Always in Page Break paramener
section for Group Footer (not for table's one!)
I guess it will work. If not - play around with Page Break options in Table Footer and Detail...

Need to compare dates in SSRS

Pretty new to SSRS and I have a datetime field in my SSRS report "Fields!Call_Attempt.Value" that I want to affect another text box in my report. If this field is between two specific times I want this box to return a unicode checkmark.
So my code looks something like this
=iif(Fields!Call_Attempt.Value < 12:00:00
and Fields!Call_Attempt.Value >= 8:00:00, "✓", "")
Obviously this code doesn't work. I just haven't been able to find the logic in SSRS to compare datetimes...
Thanks for looking
You could try adding a calculated field to the data set with the following expression:
=IIf(Hour(Fields!Call_Attempt.Value)<12 and Hour(Fields!Call_Attempt.Value)>=8, "x", "")
I'm assuming that you have a table in the report, and the one of the cells in that table is the date/time field.
You could add a calculated field to the data set with the check/unchecked value you want, then include that field in the table.
You could change the properties of the table cell and include the above expression as the value for the cell. (Right click the cell, choose Properties. The cell value is under the General tab and you can put the expression there.)
More than likely, you'll want to include multiple columns in the table, one with a formatted date/time and another with the checkbox. In that case, you can add a column to the table, then merge the header cells and change borders so that it looks like one column with some of the values checked.
In summary, you could use the above expression to return whatever you need for anything in the table cell: the value, the tooltip, the font, the text color, the fill color, the action, the alignment...

RDLC subreport inside subreport

Output Needed
Row Grouping
I am trying to create a report to match exactly as in attached file using RDLC, that has three levels of data:
Packing No
PO No
Item
Level 2 and 3 should come in a single column, to achive this I have tried using subreport:
Column Grouping - If more than one PO arrives, column is repeating horizontaly instead of extending vertically
Row Grouping - Two columns are created one for PO No, another for item details,instead on single column
Subreport inside subreport - Here first subreport have Packing No as Parameter, second subreport has Packing No & Po No as parameter, in this case first row of RDLC alone displays all data correctly, subsequent rows are not able to receive the parameter and it displays error.
I came close but not able to complete, any solution will be greatly helpful to me.
I think you are over-complicating things and don't need to place sub-report inside sub-report.
I can see that it might be needed to place (one column report with row grouping by PO#) sub-report into details cell of column 2 and pass package No to it as a parameters to filter data.

How do I group header and details in a RDLC report

I am trying to do the following in an RDLC Report:
I have a table:
ChequeTmp
[ChequeNum], [ChequeDate], [ChequeAmount], [Invoice], [InvoiceDate], [InvoiceAmount]
There can be multiple cheques in the the ChequeTmp table and for each cheque there can be 0 or many stub lines.
How do I display this data on an RDLC report?
Note: I have to first display cheque info followed by its stub details and then another cheque followed by its respective stub details
PS:
I am trying to achieve the following design:
Solution:
Place the header data and details data in a single table.
Add a Table to RDLC Report and set its data set to that single
table.
Add a group: ADJACENT ABOVE
Delete the details row group.
Add a row in the adjacent group.
Merge cells in the first row and put all your header details here in
a rectangle.
Create another table outside of the first table and assign your
details to it.
Drag and drop that table to the first table adjacent row.

InfoPath Repeating Tables: Force all rows to have same value for one column

Does anyone know a way to have all the rows of one column of a repeating table to always have the same value?
Say the user changes the value in the first row for that column, then all the other cells in that column change to have the new value. (Preferably this will happen if a user changes any cell in the column, not just the one in the first row, but just the first row would be fine if that's all that's possible).
I have access to both InfoPath 2007 and InfoPath 2010 so can use either. The form submits data to and receives data from an SQL Server database. Code is fine if this requires it.
You basically want to change the field from a repeating field to just multiple copies of the same field (since you want it to always be the same there is no point in storing multiple versions).
On the data source tab, all the fields that you put in the repeating section are in a group folder with the little repeating icon on it. Right click on the field you want to be non repeating and choose move. Put it anywhere outside the repeating group folder (the encompassing folder is usually a good choice but it can be anywhere). The field on the design surface will now show a little info box that says "this item can't be repeated" (or similar).
Now you just have multiple copies of the same field - so if you change any one of them they will all update to reflect the value.
