'freezing' table heading

i am pretty new to ssrs and i am wondering if it is possible to
"freeze" the column headings of a table.
are there any good links i can visit that would help me with this / any
suggestions?
Thanks soooooo much!!
rebekahIf you mean having them always visible while scrolling, there is a property
on the heading row that allows this. I believe it's only available for the
reporting heading, not for group headings though. Right-click on the table
and click properties. Look for "header should remain visible while
scrolling".

Freezing matrix groups

In Excel we can freeze panes and split report data so that when you scroll
over you don't loose focus of the groups on the leftmost pane. Can we do
something like this in Report Manager? I want to be able to freeze my row
groupings so that when the report is exported to Excel, the users won't have
to do it. So basically, my question is how can I "feeze" the row groups of a
matrix in Report Manager so that I don't lose focus of these when I scroll to
the right?On Oct 10, 11:00 am, dataGirl <dataG...@.discussions.microsoft.com>

You will want to right-click the top left-hand corner of the matrix
control and select Properties. Then select the Groups tab and below
'Rows' select the 'Edit...' button and select 'Group header should
remain visible while scrolling.'

Freezing Database or Server

In Oracle there a way to 'freeze' a tablespace when doing a backup. Does SQL
Server have a way to 'freeze' the tables or the database?Jorge,
I don't quite understand what you are trying to do. If you can
ALTER database SET Read_Only
before the backup, then you will ensure that no changes are being made
during the backup. (But a backup picks up the transaction log changes made
during the backup as well, so your data would be complete as of the
completion of the backup.) I suspect that this is not what you are after.

Freezed column headers in RS Webreports

Hi,
a lot of my users were asking me to have the possibilty of a freeze
pane (similar to excel) in the RS web reports because often the reports
are to long to see the column haeders. Especially when you have
drilldowns it would help.
Has somebody tried to implement such feature by DLL to RS 2000. Is this
feature planned for RS 2005 '
thanks
BBIf I remember correctly, that might be in SQL 2005

I don't know of anyone who has implemented this for RS 2000 - but in that
case, you would need to implement a full custom rendering extension yourself
for RS 2000 (which is a major effort and lots of work).

Freeze table header

When exporting a report to excel, Is there any way to keep the table
header from scrolling up in the excel output when a user scrolls down
through the data?
I noticed that anything that's put above the page header is frozen
when the report is exported to excel.
But when I tried placing the table headers in text boxes and putting
them in the page header area, the headers are out of alignment when
it's exported to excel.On the table you can have the header freeze when you scroll.Right click for
properties and last option.

You are correct. Unfortunately, you would have to manually set this in
Excel (via Window -> Freeze Panes).
Regards,
Enri|||What you can do is to just align all the table header on the header of the
page then remove the table header, so that header will be frozen. yes page
header is frozen and not table header.

freeze rows

Hi,

would it be possible to freeze the header rows of a table when viewing the reports? when viewing reports, i can't see the header rows when scroll down to the bottom of the page.

thanks

Yes, this is supported in RS 2005. E.g. on the table properties dialog in report designer, select "header should remain visible while scrolling".

Freeze replication

I would like to do a backup of a publishing database and restore as opposed
to syncing from scratch that might take a long time for a huge database. In
order to do so, I would like to freeze changes made at the publisher
somehow... backup the database after its frozen, restore the database
establish replication and then unfreeze.
Ive read some google posting a year ago on some ways of achieving that
freeze by running selects with tablockx hints.. Im not 100% certain but
either would like to know more about how to freeze it.. I am willing to
accept blocked transactions and timeouts at the time...
This is more from a DR restore perspective.Using SQL 2000
put your database in read only mode, do your backup, and then restore it on
the subscriber.
This way you are guaranteed to have a consistent publisher and subscriber.

Freeze Panes?

Is there functionality within the Table or Matrix objects to freeze columns or row headers when you scroll thru a wide or long report? Similay to the freeze panes functionality in Excel.

Thanks

Yes, RS 2005 provides this functionality. E.g. in the table properties dialog on the general tab, select "Header should remain visible while scrolling".

-- Robert

|||Sorry.. i may be missing something obvious within the properties, but where is this functionality with a Matrix for row and column headings?|||

In the matrix case, the setting is on the row / column groupings. For instance, you can
1. open the matrix properties dialog
2. go to the Groups tab
3. edit a column or row group
4. and on the general tab of the grouping and sorting dialog, select "Group header should remain visible while scrolling"

I am using RS 2005 and emailing reports in Excel to my end users. Is it possible to set the report in VS.Net to freeze the panes so that the user will always see the column A when they scroll to the right once they view the report in Excel?

I have the feeling the answer is no, but I thought I'd check.

Hi, there is a property named FixedHeader. I didn′t try that this deep yet (only for table header) , but it would be worth a try. I guess you will your own rendering extension as the rendering for Excel didn′t brought back the right results with fixed headers for me (worked well in HTML, but not in Excel)

HTH, jens Suessmeyer.

I'm having the exact same issue. Has anyone been able to accomplish this successfully?

Jens Suessmeyer: I tried the property option but that didn’t work for me. The closest to what I’m trying to accomplish (that I’ve gotten); it’s using a report header which freezes the first row (or whatever u have in the header) yet by design it doesn’t accomplish what I (and rs12345) am trying to do.

The only option that I see out there is purchasing OfficeWriter by SoftArtisans or just try to figure out how they do it and write the code (It seems they use scripts... not sure yet).

Any ideas anybody? (or links :) )

|||Sorry, we don't support programmatic setting of Freeze Panes. The only

thing Excel export uses Freeze Panes for is for the PageHeader when

SimpleHeaders=false (the default).

Excel export ignores the FixedHeaders property.

OfficeWriter would support your use case, because you author the report in Excel and can set the freeze panes when designing the report. You could also use the ExcelApplication class from OfficeWriter to modify the output file.

OfficeWriter doesn't use VBA scripting, if that's what you mean; it reads, modifies, and writes the binary BIFF8 Excel format.

Freeze panes like excel

Is there a chance that columns used in sql reporting services can be freezed
as in excel work sheet.
Is it not implemented till date, if they implement when can we expect that
to happen for sql reporting services.
Freezin pane is one part they even want to freeze there own columns
dynamically.
Is there a chance in near future we have this provision, if we have it would
be great.
Any thought of when can we expect it.
Askin a lot :-)
NavinNavin,
There is a setting in RS that you can apply per object (matrix, table), in
which you can specifiy whether you want the header to remain visible when
scrolling. Look for this on the general tab. Name of the setting is "Header
should remain visible when scrolling".
(this is in RS2005)

And I wouldn't expect it in a subsequent release, just based on the
technical issues to implement it, but maybe I'll be surprised.

Freeze Panes in Excel

Is there anything I can do so that when my users export their report from
reporting services to Excel that it freezes the columns'
I also need to set a default zoom %
Is there anyway to do this - thanksI also have that problem. Because when it expands, it can be really time
consuming..

Freeze Panes in Excel

hi,
In matrix row and column grouping there is one property "Group Header should
remain visible while Scrolling",which is equal to Freeze panes property of
Excel.
But when i am exporting the report into Excel i am not getting the same
effect of Static Header.I have to manually set it to get that effort in
exported excel.
So what is the solution of this?
Thanks in advance.

As far as I know, the freeze panes functionality only exists in the
Reporting Services view of the report; though when exported to PDF,
the groups that are frozen are repeated on every page. Sorry that I
could not be of more assistance.

Freeze Panes

I have created some reports in RS that contain alot of information. The problem I have is that at the top of the list it is fine, but when you start to Drill Down and then scroll down the list, the column titles disappear.

So the question is, how can I freeze the horizontal and vertical panes, or should I say, can I freeze those panes?

Regards

You can accomplish this within a Table. Include all the info that you want to stay on the screen in the Table Header and set the FixedHeader property to False. Then when you scroll down, the table header remains at the top.

You will probalby want to change the background color from transparent to either white or some other collor, because otherwise you will see both the header and the data underneath.

Note: the FixedHeader feature is only available in RS 2005. You can use it in tables and in matrix.
