Explanation

This message is returned when Reporting Services cannot render or export the report.

A message that indicates that the index was out of range is typically caused by one or more of the following reasons:

• The report contains nested data regions and you tried to export the report to Excel. Excel does not support nested regions.
• Reporting Services keeps all of the header rows together when the report is rendered and uses the height of the first row to calculate the total height of the report. If there are soft page breaks in the report, Reporting Services then inserts soft page breaks after a specific number of rows. Depending on the height of the first row, the report might be larger than the page size. If the total length of the report grows larger than the page, the soft page breaks cannot be inserted after the expected number of rows, which results in this error being displayed.
• Reporting Services had to determine the size of an image while rendering the report and an error occurred when rounding the image size.

A message that indicates that the operation is not valid due to the current state of the object is typically caused by the following reason:

• There are hidden data regions in the report, for example, a hidden table within a matrix table cell.

A message that indicates that the object reference is not set to an instance of the object is typically caused by one or more of the following reasons:

• There are soft page breaks within empty lists in the report.
• There are hidden groups within the report and you tried to export it to PDF.
• The report has a link to a subreport that is not published on the report server and you tried to export it to CSV.
• There are text boxes with a width and/or height of zero in the report.
• A text box is either hidden or the NoRows property is set to true.
• A text box spans table cells where some cells have a collection of null values.
• The report has static columns and/or rows and, in the Visibility properties, Hidden is set to true.
• The report has static columns and/or rows and there are grand totals in the report.
• The report has static column headings and, in the Visibility properties, Hidden is set to true.
• The matrix report has multiple columns and rows and, in the Visibility properties, Hidden is set to true and you tried to export to PDF or TIFF.

A message that indicates that the index and length must refer to a location within the string is typically caused by the following reason:

• The report contains a parameter whose value depends on a Locale based on a language other than English.
• The report contains a reference to a non-specific language, for example, "en" instead of "en-US".

User Action

To troubleshoot the problem:

• Review the specific error contained within the message and then, depending on the message, review your report.
• If the problem is related to soft page break issues, try increasing the page height, reducing the first row height, or reducing the number of header rows.
• If the problem is related to errors when rounding the image size up or down, try slightly increasing the page header height so that it is different than the image height, or try changing the image size to fit better.
