As our business requirements are very strict we need to be able to set the Graph Scale Maximum and Minimum properties based on our data. This would make our charts much more visually pleasing having the needed empty space above the data.

For example, the most often required scenario is setting the Scale.Maximum as a percentage of the already calculated max value by the Telerik Reporting engine.

We imagine there would be some kind of object which we can use inside an expression in these properties: = CalculatedMaxValue * (1 + 0.1)
Or we can calculate the value ourselves inside a User Function and then use the function in the expression.

Loading one simple report with one user can spike the cpu.  Multiple users on that same report cause the cpu to go insane.

Global caching needs to be a thing in reporting...you guys are always looking for performance improvements anyway.

Current Scenario as defined by support:
- Person 1 hits report 1, reporting processes\renders it
- Person 2 hits report 1 (same params), reporting processes\renders it
- Person 3 hits report 1 (same params), reporting processes\renders it
...

Expected Scenario:
- Person 1 hits report 1, reporting processes\renders it, processed data result is cached
- Person 2 hits report 1 (same params), reporting retrieves the processed data from cache, and report is rendered
- Person 3 hits report 1 (same params), reporting retrieves the processed data from cache, and report is rendered
- Person 4 hits report 1 (same params), reporting retrieves the processed data from cache, and report is rendered
(10 minutes elapses, or whatever the timeout is)
- Person 5 hits report 1, reporting processes\renders it, processed data result is cached

As a developer that uses both Telerik Data Access and Telerik Reporting in its projects, I often find myself in a situation where I experience version mismatch errors regarding the Telerik.OpenAccess.* assemblies. For me it is inconvenient to downgrade the version of Data Access, and would like to either be able to automatically add the binding redirects in the .config file, or to use a more recent version of Data Access in my Reporting applications.

In a situation where the clients are entering formatted text into the system, none of the suggested work arounds for this item are acceptable.  Lacking this support, it is impossible to enter math expressions.

i would like to suggest that if we can have Report Designer Web  interface as well.

With the current version of telerik reporting, the default date/time for when the report is run on the bottom left of the report shows up in big bold numbers across the entire report when you print it from excel. The problem is easily fixed by either removing the field or moving it to the top of the report but it is a waste of time and not something i would easily remember to do until after the fact.

i am using reporting q3 2013 and when i configure sql data source and click on query builder and gives me the error .. 
"error opening query builder make sure the strings are correct and database is online "

 my connection strings are correct and database is connected even then i am getting this error 
i have attached the screen shot kindly please tell me how to resolve this

For some reason the database didn't load when I installed the reporting demo.  neither when I ran a repair install.  I'm running MS SQL 2014 on my local workstation.  

Could you tell me which DB to install to run the demo reports?

Please support WebApi 2+, I am stuck using <2 because the Telerik Reporting components are incompatible with the latest ASP.NET WebApi.

When opening a data source by the wizard and go through it then save (even without any modification), the provider property will be cleared.

Workaround: Re-set the 'Provider name' again upon closing the wizard, by the properties window.

Product: Report Designer v2014.Q2

Hello,
I already developed in the past with your WPF controls and I'm mostly very happy. The controls are nice and the programming model (MVVM) is well done. I always recommend your controls the all my friends developer out there.
For a new project, I'm evaluation the Report Design + Viewer and I must say I'm very disappointed by the all product. 
First the general looking and feel seems coming from an old Visual Basic 6 age with outdated button toolbar + gui; non sizable dialogues like the one to choose fields (attached) With data source coming from entity model, the field and navigation property are often long and this is painful and useless to scroll horizontally to see the field name.
Coming back to data source, the report wizard is also confusing asking for an data source name rather than asking for an existing connectionstring and then create a new one for your need internally if needed. Also, the experience with an existing data model object is poor because the Data Member question is not obvious and when I select one the entity table, the wizard prompt with an alert see capture attached. If I don’t select any member, no alert but the field list is useless because I don’t see any field (see capture).
In conclusion, it seems to me the Report components are not done by the same team or at least are not develop in the same spirit and quality than the other controls.
I hope you will bring us a brand new controls asap.
Thanks for reading me 
Best regards
-Vince

I'm planning to use Telerik Reporting as the reporting soltion for a customer portal that I'm developing. This portal will be sold to multiple customers and amongst other things the customers will be able to add their own reports that they will build using the Stand Alone Report Designer.
Please consider adding a Query Builder, similar to what is in the Visual Studio version of the Report Designer to the Stand Alone Report Designer as this will greatly enhance the user experience and negate the need to use other tools to build the queries, especially as many end users would not have access to tools such as SQL Management Studio, etc.

When might Telerik come out with a standalone reporting tool?

The current implementation of the WebAPI ReportController requires that is run as a Singleton. When running on Azure with multiple instances, it doenst work well. For deployments with large amounts of HTML reportviewer clients, one report server is not enough, it needs to scale. I suggest putting shared reportcontroller state (resources) in a configurable external out of process multiple concurrent access safe data structure. Solutions could range from database to shared in memory nosql, for instance Redis or Azure cache.

We use Telerik reports for many different things.  We generate reports, letters, mailings, excel documents and forms or applications.  Our applications can either be blank or pre-filled or completely filled with information from the user.  Now I realize that you can say that all of these are forms of reports, but I would submit that is only partly correct.  I tell people that Telerik reports is a way for me to produce output that can be electronically distributed or printed.  While that is a definition of a report, I think it can go a bit further.

If you think about PDF forms and what they are, they are a report that allows the user to add additional information and send back to the customer.  I do realize that some features of PDF forms allow for scripting that can automatically submit, and there is a lot of other capabilities that moves PDF forms outside the realm of basic report generation. That being said, the ability to set a parameter in a report whereas the fields are replaced with basic text input PDF fields would be a huge advantage for Telerik.  I could see them opening up the forms generation market for this product.

While I have no input into your roadmap and, as a former Product Architect for a software development firm, I fully understand scope creep and keeping product focus, I would love to see:
1) a parameter export to PDF that converts the fields (everything that has a Fields.XXXX keyword somewhere in the value property) to PDF form text fields without adding data.  I would set the length the same way you set the horizontal length of the field on the report.
2) a parameter on a field item that says this field cannot be converted into a form field and must have data.
3) a parameter on reports indicating that when generating PDF form fields, that X number of rows are generated for the detail section.
4) if a field value is too complex or if the report is too complex, I would just fail over to a blank value.
I realize there are a lot of capabilities in PDF forms, but I tried to keep my wish list confined to the basics that would allow for easy additions to support advanced capabilities post report generation.

All this being said, I have communicated to my customers that Telerik is not going to support PDF form fields and we have an upcoming meeting to discuss this requirement.  I have a lot of resources, time and money invested in the development of Telerik reports and it is a concern that I may have to remove Telerik reports from our solutions because of a need to support this PDF capability.  We have reports on multiple different platforms and I feel that Telerik Reports is one of the best in terms of use on many different styles of applications. But since I am a firm believer in using as few technology vendors as possible (and only want a single reporting solution), I am concerned about having to re-architect our solution reporting infrastructure to remove Telerik reports.

In the attached photo, I combined the first 2 pages of the PDF I get when I export the reports as a PDF (there were 198 pages in total). The second page is the continuation of the bar chart, as the bars expand. This is not readable or insightful to a user who wants to view the report, as he/she can not see any of the labeling of the X or Y axis on the second page. I would like to see labeling of both the X and Y axis on each page, so that the reports are easier to read. The same applies for graphs, columns, and table reports as well. 

Telerik.reportdesigner.exe crash with Null reference exception when add new object datasource with "Choose a data source member".

WPF can display very complex text, like mathematical function, or create intricate image.
Such feature is missing in Reporting.
A function should exist in Reporting to render a WPF control as image in report for such case (using RenderTargetBitmap).

The Reporting Graph item support now only one data source, unlike RadChartView.
When displaying different collection, we must for the moment put everything in one collection, and group/filter in Graph, because of this limitation.
