    hi all,

    I have a SSRS report which needs to display the message ihat is contained in the text file. The message in the text file will change on regular basis.

    How to get the value of a text file in SSRS report?

    Any help on this.. thanks!

    SSRS doesn't support text files as a source, so you'll first need to get the contents of the text file in a place you can reach with SSRS, preferably a database.

    If your text file arrives daily, you could perhaps upload it with SSIS.

    An alternative might be to use .NET code from within the report itself, but I haven't done this before.

    Need an answer? No, you need a question
