SSRS 2008 Fixing the Row Header

In SQL Server Reporting Services 2008, I cannot always fix the Header row of a Tablix. Right-clicking the tablix and checking Repeat header rows on each page accomplishes nothing.

I have set up a linear gauge in Reporting Services 2008. What I would like to do is specify my scale interval.

Using SSRS 2008 web service calls across multiple threads

I'm trying to create a multi-threaded service that will render a large volume of reports to multiple output sources (file, ftp, email, etc), but I've run into a large problem. With SSRS 2000, render is a single call, allowing for each independent thread to run its own render. But with 2005 and 2008, Microsoft decided to split this into...

SQL Reporting - Putting Page Count on a non-header level

SQL Reporting 2008 disallows me to put the PageNumber and TotalPages (global) variables on the data level; only allows them in the page header & footer. But their values go hand-in-hand with data. So is there any way of knowing the page number on a non-header level? ...

Making sure values are treated as Numeric when SQL Reporting 2008 renders a report as Excel

When I save a SQL Report in Excel, a column containing numbers is treated as text in the resulting .xls file.

What's the "cheapest" way to check if a report exists on my Reporting Server?

Given a SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services installation, what's the "cheapest" way to check whether a given report (given by its report name + report path, e.g. /MyReports/SomeOddballReport) exists (or not) ? I see lots of potential candidates on the ReportServer web service - which one is the quickest and the one using the least amount...

Reporting Services - setting a field value dynamically based on parameter

I need to build a report that shows data in four grouped levels. The tricky part is: the actual fields to be displayed on those four levels are to be passed into the report as parameters.
