how to show one record per one page

I am using reporting services to build a report to show customer's balance statements. I need each page only show one customer and related transactions and balance etc.

Now it shows several customers' balance in one page, how can i change it to show only one record per one page, and also one customer per one page when print it out.

how can i achieve that?

cheers

place all your controls in a list control

in the properties for the list control

group by customer

check the "page brake before" option

How to Set dynamic column name or Change column name dynamicly

How to Change column name dynamically
Declare @.Column_name Varchar(30)
Set @.Column_name = (Select Name from Customer where ...)
Create table #temp
(
Name Varchar(30)
Date datetime
Sales Money
)
EXEC sp_rename '#temp.Name', @.Column_name, 'COLUMN'
It failsThis only seems to work on physical tables, i.e. not temporary ones.

Posting guidelines: http://vyaskn.tripod.com/posting.htm
The code you posted will work if you are in the context of tempdb (where the
temp table is located). You may be able to execute the change from the
context of another database using dynamic SQL (see EXEC and sp_executesql in
BOL for more information)

I see no reason for the temporary table. Never use "select *" in production
code!
You need to explicitly list all columns you want in the result-set and asign
an appropriate ALIAS to set specific column names. In your specific case thi
s
is best done on the client, since you'd have to use dynamic SQL on the
server. Anyway, here goes...
You'd need something like this:
declare @.statement nvarchar(4000)
declare @.Col1Name sysname
declare @.Col2Name sysname
set @.Col1Name = 'Jim'
set @.Col2Name = 'Bob'
set @.statement = 'select <col1> as ' + @.Col1Name + '
,<col2> as ' + @.Col2Name + '
from <table>
where <conditions>'
Which constitutes:
select <col1> as Jim
,<col2> as Bob
from <table>
where <conditions>
You then have to execute the statement using EXEC:
exec (@.statement)

Apart from the very dubious in this, this works:
Declare @.Column_name Varchar(30)
Set @.Column_name = 'nisse'
Create table #temp
(
Name Varchar(30),
Date datetime,
Sales Money
)
EXEC tempdb..sp_rename '#temp.Name', @.Column_name, 'COLUMN'
select *from #temp
You need to add tempdb.. to set the context for sp_rename.

how to set a dimension attribute as a simple "note" field?

I have a simple cube,
dimensions are time and customers (id, name, address, contry, etc), fact are
quantity
On Y axes I have to show the customer name AND the address.
if I drag and drop only the id and name, the query is fast, and it works
fine, If after the name I also add the address, the query becames very slow
I belive this is because of aggregation on the address attribute, that I
really don't need, the address is specific to every customer and it does not
make any sense to do calculation on this.
I only need to show che address near the name, without any aggregation
How can I do it?
Is there any property I have to set?
Thank you
Alessandro Belli
Hello Alessandro,
I understand that you'd like to specify an dimension attribute as a
property not to be aggregated. If I'm off-base, please let me know.
You may want to consider define attribute relationship bewteen attribute
name and address, thus you could display address as member property of name
and do not necessary to drag name attribute to the browser which cause more
calculations and overhead even if they are 1:1 relationship. When you drag
a dimension attribute into the browser it is used as normal attribute
anyway though at running time, it will gain performance improvement when
engine may find it has 1:1 relationship with another attribute.
By default, dimension attribute are related to key dimension attribute by a
attribute relationship. In VS 2005, you could open the dimension in VS
project, and check the attribute relationships defined on the key attribute
( I assume it is "id" in the dimension).
You may want to create a attribute relationship directly on name attribute
and define the relationship bweteen name and address. You will be able to
see address as the member property of the name attribute in browser. You
could right click the a name cell->Show properties in report->Show All
properties in report.
The other option that you could display name/address at the same time ( I
assume it is 1:1 relationship) is that you create a new column on dimension
source table, and merge (name, address) column to a new column such as
name-address. You could use this new column as a attribute directly in the
dimension attribute.
If you have further questions or concerns on the issue, please feel free to
let's know. Than you.

You can add address as property for name attribute and can create
calculated measure on this property.

|||Hello Alessandro,
You could try the following steps to add attribute relationship between
name and address attribute.
1. Open customer dimension by double click the dimension on the right panel
2. Drag Address column from the source table in Data Source View to the
Name Attribute on the left panel, and you shall see a new Attribute
relationship under attribute Name.
3. Process the dimension and cube and you shall see member property Address
under Name Attribute
Please see if this could meet your requirement. If you have any concerns or
questions, please let me know. Thank you.

>|||Hello Alessandro,
You could try the following steps to add attribute relationship between
name and address attribute.
1. Open customer dimension by double click the dimension on the right panel
2. Drag Address column from the source table in Data Source View to the
Name Attribute on the left panel, and you shall see a new Attribute
relationship under attribute Name.
3. Process the dimension and cube and you shall see member property Address
under Name Attribute
Please see if this could meet your requirement. If you have any concerns or
questions, please let me know. Thank you.
