Best Way To Enable Users To Choose Between WTD/MTD/QTD/YTD At Run Time (MDX)
Jun 7, 2007
Hi there - I have a longish bit of MDX which enable some MTD reporting. I'd like to power up the report so that users can select to report by WTD, QTD, YTD by clicking hyperlinks / buttons / whatever [I'm quite new to reporting services - not quite sure what's possible.]
I could create 4 separate reports with 4 separate datasets, or one report with 4 datasets, or is there some reasonable way I can tweak the MDX for a dataset on the fly, e.g. "search and replace, find MTD replace with QTD" &c &c.
Cheers,
JG

I'm building a package that will periodically be used to import data from an excel file to update a SQL database. I've done most of it but I am completely stuck on one bit:
How can I build something in that allows the user to browse for the Excel file to be imported (like you do when you set up the Excel Connection Manager and it asks which file)?
My ideal world would be someway of calling just that part of the Import wizard.
There are lots of things about dynamically choosing the file using variables but they don't allow end-user interaction. It may be that I'm trying to do something I shouldn't.........
Hello all, I got a problem when using Sql Service 2005. I have two parameters @ID and @Name. I want to choose either and only one parameter to generate my report at one time. Could anyone tell me how to do it? I tried the "or" tab after filter tab, but it only generate the report with both @ID and @name values I gave. Thanks in advance.
Is it possible to design a package with one connection manager who's name remains static, but the actual provider changes at deployment time?
For example, I have two connection managers, source and target. Each of these, depending on the environment, may use any combination of native SQL Server, or Oracle.
When I create a connection manager, the provider is specified at design time. Is it possible, using the confguration files, to allow the administrator to determine the provider at deployment time, such that the Control Flow and Data Flow tasks can use the connection mangers without knowing the provider, or more importantly, only one version of the package need be maintained?
When we generate a report with an account that is in the admin group it takes 2-3 seconds but when we do it with another user it takes over 2 minutes... any reason for this? (The "Report is being generated" thing, by the way)
Not sure if my question is clear, I've been looking and searching for the past 2 hours but can't find anything remotly close to that problem... any help would be appreaciated!
Hi all, I want to raise one question which might not relevant to current discussion. Prob:-- I have some SSRS reports. I want to know for a given time period 1. How many people hit the report. 2. Who are the users hit the report in that time interval.
Is there any query to get that data? Or, should I go somewhere to see the data?
NB:- There is not any table in the application which is storing the data
The server being used is a Intel Xeon E5310 Clovertown 1.6GHz 2 x 4MB L2 Cache Socket 771 80W Quad-Core 2U Passive Processor.
The problem is that this server is slowing down everytime about 1000 users log into a forum which the server is running. I think that the server should be able to handle this many users with no problems but I am not sure if that is the case.. The problem is probably something to do with the SQL of the server I am guessing. The server is not mine but I want to help the owner of the server as well as the users who are trying to access this forum but cant because of this server issue. If I was able to get the SQL would I be able to fix this problem? I doubt you need this but the server url is www.smashboards.com
I am fairly new to servers and have never really set one up myself yet. Forgive me for my lack of knowledge about them.
We have an existing SSRS server, and have just created a new child domain. We'll be migrating users from the parent to the child, and want to add the users of that new domain with access to SSRS. In the parent domain they are able to access, but after migration with the child domain account, they cannot.
I have added the group CHILDDomain Users with a system user role on SSRS, and PARENTDomain Users was already there.
Is there any additional step I should/could take to get this active?
I have had this issue just pop up. I have local users who can connect fine, but my users that require connection by VPN cannot connect. I get the server not available or access denied error. I did confirm that the VPN'ers are connected to the network correctly and can see that their shares and mappings are correct. Any ideas? Thanking you all in advance!!
I am trying to revert back to Windows 7 after upgrading to Windows 10, however it will not let me and the following message occurs: "Remove new accounts.Before you can go back to a previous version of Windows, you'll need to remove any user accounts you added after the most recent upgrade. The accounts need to be completely removed, including their profiles.You created one account (NT SERVICEMSSQLSERVER) Go to Settings> Accounts> Other users to remove these accounts and then try again".However I did not create any new users and there are no other users listed in the Accounts section.
hi alli've got two tables called "webusers" (id, name, fk_country) and "countries" (id, name) at the meantime, i've a search-page where i can fill a form to search users. in the dropdown to select the country i included an option which is called "all countries". now the problem is: how can i make a stored procedure that makes a restriction to the fk_country depending on the submitted fk_country parameter?it should be something like SELECT * FROM webusers(if @fk_country > 0, which is the value for "all countries"){ WHERE fk_country = @fk_country} who has an idea how to solve this problem?
I have a production server log shipping to a secondary server every 30 minutes (both SQL 2000), which the second server is used for both a warm standby server and for reporting from users. Issue: the log shipping locks the DB so reporting can't be done until the load is finished, the load to the second set of databases has taken up to 15 minutes to finish allowing the users only 15 minutes to run reports, this is not acceptable. The server also needs to be used for DR.
I am looking for another solution, I can't use Transactional Log shipping as not all of the tables in the databases have a primary key identified. So, I am looking for a real-time or near real-time reporting server that is more available to running reports and a warm standby server for Disaster recovery. I am trying to figure out what SQL Server 2000 has to provide (or even 2005 or 2008?) or I am also looking at some third party software, but not sure what is the best for a reasonable price.
I have a dilemn: On one side, I have a column C1 which could be a primary key because it is never null, the value is unique and identify the record. The problem is its a char type and its lenght can be close to 30. Then, I've planned to add another column C2 of int type as PK. But then I need to add a unique constraint index on C1. Does it improve performance anyway?
I have a database containing a lot of users and these users can have four different kind of telephone numbers connected to them: "Direct phone", "Switchboard", "Cell phone", "Home phone". The phone numbers are stored in a separate table. Some users have 0 phone numbers, some have 1, some have 3 etc.
Now I have to transfer the data to another database with a strict table structure and here the table that contains the user also should contain the users phone number and an alternative phone number, if the user currently has more than one phone number connected.
This means that if for instance we have three or more phone numbers connected to one user, we can maximum transfer two of them. This is not a big issue though...
We have ranked the importance of the phone numbers in the order as I presented them above. What I do in my T-SQL query is to do a ISNULL() and see if the user has "Direct phone" connected, if not I check for the next type and so on.
Now to my problem! Can anyone give me a suggestion of how to write the code for the extraction of the Alternative phone? What I need to do is to check if there is a "Direct phone" connected to the user, if so I should NOT chose that but the next phone number that I find.
I'm currently developing an ASP.NET website which is using SQL Server 2005 and I couldn't decide between two table designs and I hope you can give me your opinions
The website is for a school and it'll be used to create tests from questions. The teacher will: 1. Select grade (could be multiple selection) 2. Select class 3. Select subject The thing is that same question could be used for multiple grades.
Example query: "Get me questions of trigonometry of math from grades 7,8,9"
(Names used instead of ID's to make it more clear) The first design:
[BigRelationsTable] ID - QuestionID - GradeID - ClassID - SubjectID 1 - Question123 - Grade7 - Math - Trig 2 - Question123 - Grade8 - Math - Trig 3 - Question123 - Grade9 - Math - Trig
This is a simple design but all of the columns will need indexes because all of them will be used for searching and that makes me think about table performance.
Second design: [GradeClassRelations] ID - Grade - Class 1 - 7 - Math 2 - 8 - Math 3 - 9 - Math
I have 4 columns and 3 rows. Columns are Name, Age, Gender and Weight. I have values entered for each column. I need to pick the highest value of weight if Name, Age, Gender are same and put that into new table. how can i do that?
I want to implement the following query using SSIS Data flow Source component :
SELECT * FROM someTable WHERE someColumn = 'H'
How do I restrict the data coming from my data source? By that I mean how do I apply the WHERE clause in SSIS?! Should I use a conditional Split component?! but that would mean retrieving all records first then adding the split component (not the most efficient method surely).
I have created an SSIS package which pushes data from SQL Server (2005) to Oracle (Version 9.2.0.7.0), but having some issues with setting up the connection objects to Oracle.
I have attempted the connection with both the OLE DB Destination connection in SSIS and also with an ODBC connection, but both come up with the same error "ORA-12154: TNS could not resolve service name".
I am using a 32-bit version of SQL Server 2005 and the Oracle DB is 64-bit. Any ideas?
There's a field with Varchar(5) type which contains both alpha and alpha-numeric data. When sorting based on this field 1001 comes before 101. Is there anyway I can sort it appropriately; is there any collation or something which could be used.

I have to write a large data migration script to move data from one SQL Server database to another. Is there any way to dynamically specify the server and database name? I would like to do something like the following, (but this does not seem to work):

I'm helping a small company built a new website and intranet in asp.net 2.0 and SQL.
I'm having trouble choosing among vs.net 2005, vwd express, SQL 2005 express or SQL 2005 Developers Edition for the prototype/testing phase.
Any advice? I want to build production-ready versions with easy migrations to production, but I don't want them to have to spend too much $$$ while it's just in alpha and being prototyped.
I have a table with its ID field set as an Identity column with "seed" and "increment" set to 1. Now, I have rows in there that I don't want to change. I'd like the next addtitions to the table to start at a specific value for their ID columns.
Basically, how can I specify a new starting value for an identity column?
I have visual studio 2005 and I am going to create a web application. Which data source or data provider will I choose when I'm connecting to the database(MS SQL Server)? and how about when I create a windows application? will I use the same thing? tnx
Hello all I am trying to create a stored procedure that will either give the user a chance to use the wild cards or the IR_Number, or subjLastName (from the RevisedSubjects_Table) or a begin Date and an End Date.
