group:Deserialization failed - how to fix?
sql server reporting services:
Hi,
Have got the following message: Deserialization failed: The table "table1" has rows that contain a different number of cells than the number of the columns in the table (including cells that span more than one column) The report was fine until: I changed in the Code window the name of a dataset field as it was used in 15 places for look and feel and it's quicker to do it in the Code window via Search and Replace (have done this before). The table 'table1' has a couple of merged cells, but these don't even use this field. However it seems to me that the problem is related to the merged cells. I've changed it back in the code window, but the error remains. I can't even see the report in Designer view anymore, just this error message. I can still view the code. Help! Have just spent days. CR.
Save the RDL, delete the report and re-add the RDL , That should get rid of
any former information in the RSS database and let you start anew. -- Wayne Snyder, MCDBA, SQL Server MVP Mariner, Charlotte, NC www.mariner-usa.com (Please respond only to the newsgroups.)

Have saved then deleted the RDL from the .NET project, then re-added. Is this
what you meant? The problem remains. Not sure what you mean by 'RSS' database. [quoted text, click to view] "Wayne Snyder" wrote:

Thanks both. I also deleted from ReportServer database. However can't
re-deploy due to Build failure with the original message. It seems to me there's an issue with using Search and Replace in the Code Window when merged cells are used in the table. Even when the merged cells don't use the item you've editted. Have used Search/replace a lot and never an issue, only in this case. Wondering if anyone has found this also. Cheers, CR.

I think he meant to delete from the server. (Using Report Manager)

Using visual studio.net, un-merge the cells in your report (from the layout tab), then run the report. Now go back to report in the layout tab and merge your cells. I found that this worked for me.
