Question

I want to create a link in a condition in reporting services.
i have something like

iif(SomeField = "Canceled",SomeFiled,SomeField & link)

So the output would be:

Completed
Download Report (with link
to report)

But if i put html code like:

<a href="somelink">Somelink</a>

It just spits out the html code, and no link is created.

So, how do i make a link?

How to create a hyperlink in Reporting Services that opens in a new window
I was at a client and the question came up “Can I jump to another web based tool from my report?”. The answer seemed obvious … YES. What was not straightfoward was how to open the other web based tool in another window. Here is a solution a found (someone else’s idea) that helped.

When designing the report:

Open up a text box properties window
Go to Navigation
Enable Jump to URL
In the URL enter javascript:void(window.open( ‘http://www.microsoft.com‘, ‘_blank’)
