I have table with 3 columns: record_id (int), car (varchar(50)), amount (decimal(18,4)).
I created dimension for drillthrough action. Also I set Amount's column FormatString to '##0.00' but when I use Drillthough column Amount values is shown like:
.0000
15.7900
18.4100
Is there any possibility to change that values would be shown as follow:
0,00
15,7900
18,4100
I have number of users which are under 6 Groups. We have 4 drill through actions. Now I would like to restrict 2 drill through actions for only some groups.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to create a commandline action. It is my understanding that commandline actions can only be created using ASSL. I cannot find the details required to build the xmla. My ultimate goal is to be able to open a file from a unc path via a cube action.
Using a URL action will not work since the path does not start with http or https. Prepending 'file:' to the unc, with however many hashes you like, does not work with the URL action either. I am hoping I can pass the unc to the commandline and render the file. In any case, it looks like the information needed to create a commandline action is not currently available.
Within the MDX "Action expression" of a url-action I need to replace some text from a string that is used in building the URL.
replace("hellowhatever","what","")
The above syntax errors out, is this type of formatting possible with MDX action expressions?
In one of the business requirement, we need to disable a particular drill down on a calculated member, Is it possible?
View 3 Replies View RelatedHello Nice simple T-SQL question that will no doubt prove totally uncontroversial :) Anyone know the easiest way to get from:123456789to123,456,789in T-SQL? Currently I cast my int as money, use convert to varchar with style 1 and then lop off the .00. Is there an easier way? Two things before you get all upset and start squealing about front ends:1) These are admin functions that I am running from SSMS. I don't want to go to the bother of creating an application when SSMS is perfectly adequate for what I need (namely to-a-large-degree unformatted result sets).2) I'm not too fussed about it just curious. Ta & tra la!

i make a report and there is a field which contains data that can be numeric and numeric with letter: "77756" or "345WS" when i export my report to excel i and i open it i get like a make in the upper left coner of the cells that have only numbers asking me to convert this to numeric format, but this think is that i need this values to be string so i can apply filtering. is there a way that i can format my cell to string so the excel take it like that and allowme to do the autoifilter.
I would really appriciate your Help
Thanks
if
(datalength
(cast_varchar
([Costpoint].[Profit_Calc_Consolidation].[PD])
) = 1)
then
(0 ||
cast_varchar
([Costpoint].[Profit_Calc_Consolidation].[PD]))
else
(cast_varchar
([Costpoint].[Profit_Calc_Consolidation].[PD]))
Goal:
To be able to tell the Period number ([PD]) to change from an integer to a var_char so that it can be concatenated with the Fiscal Year. I.e. Fiscal Year || Period number to produce the following results.
2006 01
2006 02
2006 03
Etc……
Status of Problem:
The issue is that I can only get it done to the point to where the Fiscal Year || Period number yields the following results:
20061
200610
200611
200612
20062
Etc….
This is as issue since I am trying to get all the information from the past to a certain year and period. Using a filter that says
Fiscal Year + Period Number <= ?Prompt_Fiscal_Year? + ?Prompt_Period_Number?
So if I enter Year: 2007 Period 3
I should get:
2006 01
2006 02
2006 03
Etc…….
2006 11
2006 12
2007 01
2007 02
2007 03
Can you please let me know if my thinking is off or if my SQL is wrong, Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
Hi,
I would like to know if there is any trick to convert numbers to csv files. I don't have any control to format the numbers.
Source: Sql server
for example:
select cast( 1 as float)/ cast(201 as float)
Destination:CSV file
the output of the file is 4,9751243E-3
i don't want to have scientific notation on the number. I want the result to be 0,00497512437810945. how can i do it?
I tried to change the type of destination columns to String or numeric but nothing works. what is the influence of changing data type in the destination columns e the output to files?
I tried using convert but with the same results.
Can it be because of local settings or something else?
thanks

Hi!
How can I format number on chart's y axis? I wanto to show 1.000 instead of 1000.
Thank you!
Program Descritpion: Our product allows our customers to enter their product catalogs into our ASP.NET pages and we save the data using SQL Server 2005. Customer use GridViews to edit their data and teh data is broken into manageable groupings (called Field Groups) stored as meta-data in SQL Server Tables. Then when a user wants to edit a set of data they choose the Field Group and we dynamically generate a data source and a gridview, bind them together, and our users update their data. A bit more complicated but that's teh gist.
Another thing they can do, and where our problem occurs, is they can print reports or do exports into excel using this data. Since there are so many fields, they use the Field Groups to select which fields they want included so everything needs to be built dynamcially, at runtime, using the Field Group meta-data. Essentially, I want my grid to have these 10 fields.
Problem:For the export we generate an XML data source using FOR XML in SQL Sprocs. The xml is pulled into a xmldatadocument, trasnformed with an xsl file into an Excel XML Spreadsheet. Our problem is that FOR XML is generating our XML real numbers in scientific format. The xsl "format-number" function does not recognize scientific format and returns NaN (not a number) instead of the value in my spreadsheet. If I leave it blank I get the scientific number but Excel doesn't format it correctly, the cell has an error tag that wants me to choose Number stored as text or convert to a number. I need it to show up on teh Excel form already formatted without that message.
I can't change the DataType of the field in SQL, too many other things depend on it and it needs to be a real. I can't use CONVERT(decimal,fieldName) in SQL because the SQL string is dynmically generated using Dynamic SQL and most of the fields are not real. When we build the Field List we just have field names, we can't check anything to add CONVERT functions to only real fields.
Is there any way to force the XML output to not be scientific for the entire document? Or another function in XSL I'm unaware of (pretty new to xsl)? Or perhaps something I can do in the XML Spreadsheet tags to force the conversion?

Hello,
I'm having problems with a column of numeric string data coming from a tab delimited CSV file. When a number in the column is negative, it is expressed this way; 1,240.52-
The negative symbol occurs at the end of the numeric string. The destination column is in a SQL Server 2005 table. I've tried to change the data type of the table column, and three or four different data types in a data conversion task, but nothing has worked so far to bring the data over.
Any ideas?
Thank you for your help!

Hi,
I have an excel export with numeric values. When the SSIS package writes into the excel it treats all data types as strings and attaches an apostrophe in the beginning. I tried formatting the excel sheet with the number data type and saving it . It doesnt work.
Other strange thing is that when I go into the advanced editor for the excel destination and look into the properties of the external columns all of them have the data type as Unicode String[DT_WSTR] irrespective of what the data type is from the input.The UI allows me to change it to numeric for numeric columns without any error but the value is not saved at all which is very frustrating. I also tried changing it in the xml file of the package, it some how seems to overwrite it after validation. It would be really nice if it threw an error saying that it cannot be changed.
Anyways there seems to be no way of changing the destination data type if it s an existing file and if I create a new excel sheet there is no way of formatting data. Is there any way out?
Thanks
Have a need to let the user select the year and month to use for filtering results from an MDX query that populates a report.I think all I should need is a list of years and a Month name / number.What would the filter look like if say I had a Date dimension that included the year number in a 4-digit and month in a 2-digit number? In TSQL it would be something like ... where Month = @month AND Year = @year...How do I get a distinct list of member values for the month numbers from the Date dimension?

This is my problem:
I have a cube that I created in AS2005, I have a hierarchy and drillthrough action defined. When I create a pivot table in Excel based on that cube and I try to drill down on the cell in the pivot table I can not drill down to the next level. I get an error message: Cannot show or hide detail for
this selection. My hierarchy is based on Dimension Facility. Facility State is root level, facility zip is next level. When I'm in AS2005 and browse the cube, I'm able to drill down and drill through and see the hierarchy just fine. (Also, I find interesting that when I create a cube in excel, based on a two relational tables, I'm able to drill down. ) I have the Analsysis Services Add-on installed on my machine, so I have the Cube Analysis Menu item. But I can't seem to even drill-through. So, for now all I want to know is why can't I drill-down (i.e. double clicking on a cell and having the data related "explode" in the spread sheet) like it shows in the article written by William Pearson, titled September 12, 2005

I am trying to create a whole number DAX calculated column that is derived from a date column. Basically it gets the date from the source data column and outputs it as an integer in the YYYYMMDD format.So 01/OCT/2015 would become --> 20151001...I've been fidgeting with DAX but my problem is that I keep missing the leading zeroes for months and days. So 01/March/2015 becomes 201531 which is not what I want (I need 20150301 in this case).

I'm trying to write data to excel from an ssis component to a excel destination.
Even thought I'm writing numerics, every cell gets this error with a green tag:
Convert numbers stored as text to numbers
Excel Cells were all pre-formated to accounting 2 decimal, and if i manually type the exact data Im sending it formats just fine.
I'm hearing this a common problem -
On another project I was able to find a workaround for the web based version of excel, by writing this to the top of the file:
<style>.text { mso-number-format:@; } </style>
is there anything I can pre-set in excel (cells are already formated) or write to my file so that numerics are seen as numerics and not text.
Maybe some setting in my write drivers - using sql servers excel destination.
So close.. Thanks for any help or information.
All,
I have a URL Action (defined on cells based on condition specified in MDX) defined in my SSAS 2005 Cube that opens a page in our ASP .Net application.
I use custom MDX statements within SSRS to generate report. Is it possible to expose the above action in a report generated using reporting services ? (in which case I can use the "Jump to URL" feature in SSRS to redirect the user to the appropriate web page) If so, please can you specify how?

Hi guys,I wanna ask bout the problem with my web application. I'm doing a select a statement from table 1 and and with the query results i got, i need it to store the result on table 2. How will i do this? I need your tips and suggestions.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have the following query:

RIGHT OUTER JOIN (SELECT ACategoryName as ParentCategory, ACategoryID from tblArticleCategory WHERE AParentID is null AND aActive=1) AS Parent
on parent.ACategoryID = tblArticleCategory.AParentID
WHERE tblArticleCategory.AActive=1ORDER BY Category
This produces an ordered list of the parent categories and subcategories from the table as long as there is a subcateogry directly below one of the parent categories. If there isn't one directly below the parent category, the parent category is dropped from the list. None of the parents with the NULLS back to back are in the list.

Can any one u explain "ON UPDATE NO ACTION While Creating Table"
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi All,
I have a situation where there are two tables Negotiation and Rubrics. A single negotiation can have N number of Rubrics. Hence it has Primary Key - Foreign Key relationship. Now I am using two different updatable recordset, to make changes from the form.
The problem is with the close button we have in Negotiation Form. For example, a user says create negotiation and fills in d details in the Neg form, and adds several rubric to it (which opens a seperate rubric form). When each rubric is created and comes back to negotiation form, the record is actually updated in the database from the recordset. (Since Rubric is a different recordset).
Now, When i say close from the Negotiation Form. The changes should not be committed or in other words, no changes should be committed, generally its should be rolled back to the original state. Since all the rubric info is already in the database, this is a problem.(hard to track wat all rubrics the negotiation had initially)
I thought of maintaining a transaction in the db, but that wld need a single connection, which is not recommended.
Please suggest us how this can be implemented.
Thanks in advance.
Greetings -
I have a report which contains quite a few parameters for user input. The user wants the parameters arranged in a 'down & over' orientation. This has been done via the parameter order.
The next question is - how do I get the tab action between the parameters changed from the 'over & down' default to the new 'down & over' orientation?
Is this functionality currently supported?
