Hello,
My 3D bar charts don't look as good as they could because the bars are too thick when displayed in 3D (depth-wise). If I have many bars, the bars are very thin on the front, and then go back far too much. Has anyone played with the settings to see how to optimize this? Even with 5% rotations, it is still too thick for my taste and doesn't look like the previews in the designer.

Hi there, I'm new here and quite green when it comes to SQL in general - I havent used it in any depth for some years and, in the absence of our DBA I've been asked to produce a report... I'm just using query analyser to extract some data as I don't have access to Crystal or anything similar...
I have a table laid out as follows - the PK is REC_ID. It basically stores all the contract start dates for each client we deal with.
RECID------Company-----Product-----------Date
445as------ABCLtd------ICT-Hardware------2007-01-14 00:00:00.000
253s1------ABCLtd------SOFT-Mainstream---2007-01-18 00:00:00.000
567o8------ABCLtd------SOFT-Maintenance--2007-01-18 00:00:00.000
809b9------Gen4Ltd-----ICT-Hardware------2007-01-14 00:00:00.000
098xc------Gen4Ltd-----SOFT-Maintenance--2007-01-18 00:00:00.000
551df------SteetsPLC---ICT-Hardware------2007-01-14 00:00:00.000
919sd------SteetsPLC---SOFT-Upgrade------2007-01-18 00:00:00.000
010qr------SteetsPLC---SOFT-Maintenance--2007-01-18 00:00:00.000
124vv------SteetsPLC---PERS-Allocations--2007-01-18 00:00:00.000
I can easily extract, for example, how many companies have taken up individual services, or many times individual services have been employed... what I'm having difficulty with is trying to extract, for example, all those companies who have had say taken up ICT AND SOFT services, whether explicit or using a LIKE statement.
For instance, if I wanted to find all those companies that had taken up both 'ICT-Hardware' AND 'Soft-Maintenance' and literally just get back the results...
Company
ABCLtd
SteetsPLC
Or a numeric result(in this case 2) would be ok...
How would I do that?
Sorry, this may seem to be very obvious to you but I'm at a loss...
Hope you can help.
I'm having a brain freeze.
I seem to recall that there is a system stored procedure that lists table objects and the "depth" of their dependencies. Something like:
table name 3
table 2 name 3
table 3 name 2
table 4 name 1
table 5 name 0
The results show the name of the table object and the numerical depth of dependencies (ie, if the table had no foreign keys, the depth would be 0).
Does this ring a bell with anyone? I've googled, but my google-shui is weak today.

I have a table of Affiliates, each Affiliate can have a ParentId, which refers to another Affiliate. How can I retrieve all children of a given Affiliate, along with their depth level? I have this query which selects the total number of descendants of a given Affiliate, but I need to select all the children + their depth level, up to a certain level.
WITH Descendants AS(
SELECT RootId = Id, Id
FROM Affiliates
UNION ALL
SELECT RootId, Af.Id
FROM Descendants
[Code] .........
What I want to achieve is a statement that has 3 parameters: RefererId, StartLevel, and EndLevel.
I need a statement that selects all the specified Affiliate.ReferrerId's descendants including their level distance from the referrer, filtered by the StartLevel and EndLevel (WHERE CurrentLevel >= StartLevel AND CurrentLevel <= EndLevel ).
Since installing Reporting Services on my machine, I have been getting an error whenever I try to execute a reader.read line.
When I ran the same exact code on another machine using someone else's credentials who did not have Reporting Services it ran fine. When I tried to run it on someone else's machine who did not have Reporting Services using my own credentials, I got the same error. Also, when the person who's pc and credentials worked fine on his machine ran the same code back on my machine using his own credentials, he got the same error. When another person who also had Reporting Services tried to run it on his own pc, he got the error as well.
When the reader is first executed (MyDataReader = sSql.ExecuteReader) these were the property values:
depth = 0
fieldcount = 5
hasrows = true
isclosed = false
Item = In order to evaluate an indexed property, the property must be qualified and the arguments must be explicitly supplied by the user.
recordsaffected = -1 (even though there are records)
VisibleFieldCount = 5
When the reader is loaded into a table (MyTable.Load(MyDataReader)) then the property values changed to:
Depth = {"Invalid attempt to Depth when reader is closed."}
FieldCount = {"Invalid attempt to Depth when reader is closed."}
HasRows = {"Invalid attempt to Depth when reader is closed."}
IsClosed= True
Item = In order to evaluate an indexed property, the property must be qualified and the arguments must be explicitly supplied by the user.
RecordsAffect = -1
VisibleFieldCount = {"Invalid attempt to Depth when reader is closed."}
And when I execute the the following code:
dtReader = MyTable.CreateDataReader()
While (dtReader.Read())
I get this error:
"DataTableReader is Invalid for Current DataTable"
Since the code works with someone else's credentials on a machine that does not have SSRS, and the same problem happens for me regardless of what machine I am on as long as I am using my own credentials what could be causing my problem?
Hi, im new to asp but have experiance with php/mysql.
Im bulding an application which connets to my Web Service.
Does anyone know of any great tutorial explaining fully how to connect a Web Service to a microsoft 2005 sql server?
I wish my Web Service to send string and arrayLists, not dataSets(or whatever) as i wish to manipulate this data before it is displayed. Thanks for your time.
has anyone out there found a way to get the best of both recursive hierarchy and drill down in the same report, ie without needing to know how many levels there are in your hierarchy, still being able to report them like a tree view with collapse and expand capability at each level?

I need to make a brief presentation to upper management about High Availability options in SQL Server 2005.
Current choices being considered are:
- Failover clustering
- Log shipping
- Mirroring
Q1: Are there other choices?
Q2: How do these choices compare in terms of cost, complexity of setup, ease of deployment, recovery procedures in case of a disaster?

Hi,
I created some calculated members for a dimension. They are set to be visible and when i connect to the cube itself I can see them with both Excel and ProClarity as clients. I added them to a couple perspectives (by checking their boxes down at the bottom of the Calculations list) and deployed. There were no errors or issues. However from both Excel and ProClarity I do not see the calculated members of the dimension.
Any ideas?
SQL Server Data Tools within VS 2010 Shell.2012 SASS in Tabular Mode.I've created a Measure and KPI in my fact table. I've created a perspective named "Summary" When selecting the fields and measures for display in the perspective, the measure is available, but not the KPI (target, status, etc.). When Analyzing in Excel with the Summary perspective, the KPI is not available in the field list. When analyzing in Excel with the (default) perspective, the KPI is available.As far as I can tell, there is no way to select a KPI within the perspective window.

Hi,
I have built two perspectives in a cube. Let's say: Sales and Projects. When I open my cube in Excel 2007 and I choose to open the perspective 'Sales' I see all sales related dimensions and attributes. When I open the perspective Projects I see all projects related dimensions and attributes.
So far so good...
But now I generated a report model from the cube. When I start reportbuilder I can choose between three perspectives, because the total cube is added as an perspective as well. Looks pretty good, and now I open the sales perspective, but...
I see al the entities in the model, even the ones from the 'projects' perspective! It doesn't have all the functionality though, but it is visible with all the entritbutes.
I hope somebody knows the solution to this problem. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I am receiving the following error when I run the report builder query. I am able to successfully select the dimensions and measures that I am intrested in but when I run the report I get the error message.
The 'PerspectiveID' custom property for the 'query' perspective is either not set or is not set to the string data type.
----------------------------
Semantic query execution failed.

Query execution failed for data set 'dataSet'.

An error has occurred during report processing.
I am testing this against both Adventureworks standard and enterprise cubes. Additionality I saw a post in this forum

that seemed related but I am using reporting services in sharepoint integrated mode so I am having a hard time trying to troubleshoot this.

Hi All,
I'm using DTS in Sql Server 2000 for the first time, and would like to create Ad-Hoc reports with Pie/Charts and graphs. Is this possible in SQL Server/DTS, or would I need something like Cyrstal Reports?
Thanks!

Hi
I have developed some line charts in reporting services with some parametrs
On the bottom axis is the month and the upper is no. hours.
The problem is that when i select certain parametrs becaus there is no data for that month the line just ends and then starts at a new month.
Does anyone know anyway of telling it to go to zero if there is no data for it so there is a continous line
Thanks
Can you loop through the records of one dataset and create a chart for each record?

I've got a report with a table holding a subreport that contains a number of Dundas charts. Each of these charts displays A LOT of data.
Now... after deploying the report, only a few charts at the bottom of the report are displayed -- the rest display the Image-doesn't-exist icon (File image with red X across it). Can anyone tell me what's going on? My best guess is that this is a memory issue on the server side...
Friends,
I have a requirement in Bar charts using SSRS...Assume that I have 3 Products Quantity and the representation will look like following
A - 10
B- 20
C-15
Though it is easy to develop this as a bar chart...The requirement is that a Product Perfomace should be represented using Images in the chart area...Instead of showing that A has 10 quantitites in a single bar, a general product image should be coming in the place of 10 and same with the case of B and C.. I have used smiley icons here for clarity
The look of the chart should be like following
|
|_________________
|_________________|
|
|________________________________
|________________________________|

|______________________
|______________________|
|_________________________________________________
Please let me know if there is a way to customize this bar chart using SSRS Charts...Thanks in Advance
Hi,
I am upgrading all my access reports to reporting services. One of my access reports, contains a chart which is set a a multiple chart (so I can see a chart of data for each day in the data set). Is it possible to do the same using the SQLserver 2005 chart component?....I cannot see an obvious button to press which makes a single chart a multiple one.
If this is not possible in vanilla reporting services, can anyone suggest a thrid party add-in that will rovide the functionality I want? (cheaply lol!)
Cheers,

Hi all,

Can u guys help me to solve the problem
Thanks in advance.
Hello,
I am attempting to create a line chart for a report.
Are there any detailed white pages that discuss this particular chart type in detail? So far most of the documentation I have seen fails to cover the extent of the properties available in a chart and the terminology is unfamiliar to me.
What I need to know is how to integrate the chart into an existing table and within a group, plus be able to change the y-band scale to match the particular data being returned by that grouping.
Is this something better suited towards a subreport inserted into the detail band or inserting a rectangle then the chart itself forgoing the use of a subreport?
Any documentation would be appreciated, step by step approaches would be even more helpful.
Thanks.
Hi,
I am creating some earned value reports that display project budget, actual cost to date, projected cost, and earned value. I have all of the data stored by month so I am using the Running Value function to display the data on a graph such that at any given point on the graph, it is showing total dollars as of that date. This works great for a single project or a summation of projects.
I also want the ability to create a batch set of reports for a series of projects, basically they input a list of project numbers, and a new graph is generated for each one. To do this, I created a "batch report" that has a subreport in a table's group with project id being the grouped on field, it passes that project id to the subreport as input.
I get exactly what I want - a new report for each project, but the problem is, running value on the graphs is not working across the projects. It's fine for the first project, but all subsequent projects are getting messed up. For instance, one project with a max budget of 200K is showing with a max budget of 400K, actuals are getting nulled out, etc. It's as if for some reason, the RunningValue isn't getting reset across the subreport....
An example of my value field on one of the lines (not copy and pasted so forgive any syntax errors - I'm not on my development box):
Code Snippet= Iif(MAX(Fields!actual_de.Value + Fields!actual_work.Value) >0, RunningValue(Fields!actual_de.Value + Fields!actual_work.Value, Sum, FakeSeries), Nothing)
(The point of the max is so that the graph stops on months without actuals - that is months that haven't occured yet)
My FakeSeries is just on projectID and is just for the purpose of resetting the Running Value (or so I thought).
Does anyone have any input or advice on how to get this working? Why is RunningValue getting messed up across subreports? If I only give the batch report one project ID, the data is great. (I know it's the running value because if I take out running value and just graph the SUM - all the values are correct). If anyone has an alternate way of doing this sort of batch report I'm all ears as well!
Thanks much!
Jen

Hi,
Is it possible to fix the max width of the columns ?? Sometime the report only generates 1 or 2 columns and it looks a bit odd as they're stretched to the width of the page.
Also, when we have a large number of culumns, say 20 odd, the legend text get's real squashed up and un readable, are there any tips/tricks so i can have more flexibility over what's displayed ?
thanks
