Group,
Has anyone been able to successfully update a Report Data Definition, with a new Report Table, and update the Query Expression to bring in the fields from the new Report Table? I have been able to add excluded fields from the standard tables within the data set but not adding a new table. Here is the information regarding what I have tried:
Scenario: On the Pack Slip, they would like to see the Ship Via Code Description. The link is on the Shiphead.ShipViaCode to ShipVia.ShipViaCode and I want to display the ShipVia.Description field.
Steps:
1. Duplicated the PackSlip Report Data Definition
2. Added the New Report Table of ShipVia
3. Defined my Report Relationship from the ShipHead to ShipVia on the Company and ShipViaCode
4. Created a new folder out on my SSRS portal and copied all of the SSRS rdl files to the new folder
5. Opened the main PackSlip rdl in Report Builder
6. Opened the Dataset and added the left out join in the from clause and added the ShipVia.Description field directly before the FROM clause (Code Below)
6a. You'll notice that I also added the ShipHead.IUM (which was an excluded field previously and it works perfectly)
7. Save and Run the Report from the new Report Style
8. I receive the following error message:
Program Ice.Services.Lib.RunTask raised an unexpected exception with the following message: RunTask: 'column' argument cannot be null.
Parameter name: column
Any idea what is wrong?
Now I know I could create a custom SubReport or an additional dataset which is fed the ShipViaCode and returns the description but figured this has got to be pretty straight forward.
