Bug In Report Builder When Using Expression
Feb 19, 2008
I ran in to a strange problem in Report Builder. I drop a few fields from my Report Model on a simple talbe report. Some of them are straight forwards attributes and some of them are expressions.
Now in the table layout of a report I have say a attribute named as "Account Number". This attribute is actually a field from a table. I change the column header to a two line column header with €œAccount€? on one line and €œNumber€? on second line. No problem, piece of cake.
Now tried the same thing on an expression type attribute, say "Principal Balance". When I split the column header on two line I get this following error.
==============================================================
Semantic query compilation failed: e MeasureNotFound One of the SubtotalMeasures.MeasureName properties of the SemanticQuery refers to the Measure Expression 'Principal
Balance', which does not exist. (SemanticQuery '').
----------------------------
An error has occurred during report processing.
==============================================================
If you read the error you will realize that the query is trying to find an expression named "Principal" (newline char) "Balance" and it fails.
This expression is nothing but a sum aggregation on a field in the underlying table. If I put the "Principal Balance" back on one line report runs like a charm. Also note that exact same report in Designer no issues at all.
FYI: I am in SQL Server 2005 with SP2. (tried it both on Standard and Enterprise versions.)

How do you write an expression in report builder to only display the results that start with a certain string value..eg. Project Number - CUP1501, DPR1502, ENG1507 etc. These values will all get returned but I only want the Project Number that has CUP and DPR in it?

Hi,
When i select datasource in Report Builder, i am able to see all the available DataSources.
Eg: I have selected one datasource from the list and which has 3 tables(table1, table2, table3) associated to that datasource.
when i drag and drop table1 fields to report, i am not able to see the other 2 tables(table2 & table3)
Is there any property or relationship do i need to maintain?
Thanks,
SR.

am trying to do the following in SSIS.
I have Execute Process Task, in which I have the values are set for Executable, Arguments and working Directory manually. I keep changing this if the Connection Manager points to Dev or when it points to QA or to Prod. Instead I want to do like this.
If my Connection Manager points to Dev, the Executale , Arguments and Working Directory should automatically change. Else if it points to QA, the Executale , Arguments and Working Directory should automatically change and similarly for Prod.
Is this possible in Expression Builder in Execute Process Task. If so, how?.
Thank you

Nobody answered my previous question. So, I am putting it this way.
How to write an IF condition in Expression builder. I want to do something like this.
IF (variable1='ABC' then
value = '.......'
else variable1 ='DEF' then
value = '.......'
else variable1='GHI' then
value = '.......'
END
Thank you.

Hi all of you,
When you're making expressions with your own variables and system variables and so on. How could I see the contents for each variable?
When you have an expression like this:
"Cargas de Hacienda. " + SUBSTRING( @[System:ackageName], 7,20) + " "
You can perfectly click above "Evaluated value" and see the resutl but I mean, individually over each variable on the variables listview is not possible.
Thanks for any input or advice,
Enric

I can't figure this one out. I don't have enough knowledge of the string functions I guess.
I need to pull a value out of a variable I setup in a for each loop. The value is the filename/path of each source file being processed. Let's say the variable that has the source file path is called VAR1.
One sort of off topic thing I've noticed is when watch the variable in bebug mode and I look at the value of VAR1 it has double back slashes. Here's an example of the value of VAR1:
"\\L3KRZR6.na.xerox.net\C$\Documents and Settings\ca051731\Desktop\Project4\DPT_20070926.ver"
How come the back slashes have been doubled? And do I need to account for that when I start parsing the string value?
Anyway, I need to grab part of the filename from VAR1 and I need the value populated at the start of the for each loop container - ideally when I capture VAR1 in the for each container. I'll be using the string in drop table, create table and create index statements before the actual Data Flow task within the overall package
In the above example I need to grab the characters before the underscore and after the last \. So I'd need the string "DPT" captured in this example.
The actual string could be 1 to 3 characters long, even though this example has it as 3 long.
Underscores could exist anywhere in the actual UNC path once this package is moved to our actual system environments so I can't key off of the underscore.
Because I can't count on the string being a fixed lenght I can't just use a positional string function and grab specific text starting/ending at specific points.
Is there a way to use the various string functions in the expression builder to grab the text between the right most underscore and the right most back slashes or something like that? Ideally I'd like to setup a new expression based packed scope variable called VAR2 and build it using string functions applied to VAR1.

Hello,
I am attempting to create an expression for a package variable in a SQL Server Integration Services project, but the elipse button in the expression property for the variable does not appear (Visual Studio 2005). I've tried two different screen resolutions, no luck.
Why would the elipse not be there? Is there a keystroke I can use to open the exrpression builder?
Thank you for your help!

This works:
len ((DT_WSTR,2)DATEPART("mm", getdate()))==1 ? (DT_WSTR,1)0 + (DT_WSTR,1)DATEPART("mm", getdate()) : (DT_WSTR,4)DATEPART("mm", getdate())
This doesn't:
"dataware/"+ len ((DT_WSTR,2)DATEPART("mm", getdate()))==1 ? (DT_WSTR,1)0 + (DT_WSTR,1)DATEPART("mm", getdate()) : (DT_WSTR,4)DATEPART("mm", getdate())
I tried a couple of different things at this point, where am I missing the cast? Before len? Cast to what?

I would like to add additional string functions and other types of functions to the expression builder in SQL Server Integration Services. Right now the list of functions is relatively limited to such things as FINDSTRING, RIGHT, LEN, etc.
Is this possible?

Hello,
I am using the following expression to access a daily file.
"D:\importdata\peregrinedata\ACD_DATA_" + (DT_WSTR, 4) YEAR( GETDATE() ) + (DT_WSTR, 2)MONTH( GETDATE() ) + (DT_WSTR, 2) DAY( GETDATE() ) + ".txt"
output: D:importdataperegrinedataACD_DATA_2008123.txt
I need to have this file by current day -1. I've tried dateadd and can't figure out how to get it to work.
Thanks

I have a co-worker who applied build 3161 to SQL Server 2005. The original problem was that the print preview was showing up as black.This is a documented issue with Microsoft here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935436
Now, when she goes into expression builder, the foreground AND background color for what you type in there appears to be white... so everything shows up as invisible. You can highlight the text you type and it shows up but otherwise it is obviously invisible.
Anyone know how to fix this?

Has anyone encountered this before?
My colleague opens up an SSIS package with variables, many of which use expressions built with the Expression Builder. She cannot bring up the Expression Builder by clicking the ellipsis (...) in the "Expression" Property of the Property Window, regardless of whether "EvaluateAsExpression" is set to True or False.
I can open up this same package and use the Expression Builder just fine. Any ideas?
Apologies if this has been answered already, I did many searches to try to find the solution before posting here.
Thanks much!

Hi,
I have implemented a custom source component that can be used as the data source in the Data Flow task.
I have also created a custom UI for this component by using the IDtsComponentUI .
But my component does not have the capability of setting the custom properties via the DTS Variables using the Expression Builder.
I have looked around for samples on how to do this, but I can only find samples of how to do this for custom Control Tasks, i.e. IDtsTaskUI.
My question is, How can implement the Expression Builder in my custom Source component + custom Source UI. Or do you know of any samples which I can look at.
Thank you,
Jameel.

After I use the report builder to create a generic report, how do I actually get that report into the report designer so that I can modify it more effectivly?
The issue that I have now is that the file on the report server is not a .rdl file and if I simply save it as one and then bring it into VS to modify it the code file is a html structure rater than a XML file type.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

I've created a linked server with a pretty basic Excel spreadsheet, and used this command to create a linked server to it:
sp_addlinkedserver ''XL_SPS_1', 'Excel', 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'c:MyExcel.xls', null, 'Excel 8.0'
I want to use this as the data from which to build a report model. As linked servers don't show up in the Data Source View wizard, I created a view in SQL Server:
create view MyExcel
as
select * from XL_SPS_1...Sheet1$
Okay, great, now the view shows up in the DSV wizard and I can create the data source view. However, when I create a new report model based on this data source view, the Report Model Wizard tells me at "Create entities for all tables" that I've got an error when it processes dbo_MyExcel that "Table does not have a primary key."
I assume this is where the identifying attributes for the entities in the report model are taken from, so I really can't go further. Does anyone have an idea as to how to add a primary key to a linked server (Excel) in SQL 2005? Can this be done? Other than importing spreadsheet data to a SQL table, how can I get around this?
Thanks,

We have a remote business client who has a proxy server setup and this translates into receiving a 407 proxy authentication blocking error when attempting to download the report builder application for deployment off the report server which is housed locally with us. The proxy server does not allow them to download application type files off another site. At the moment, they would not like to disable the proxy for these users to allow them to deploy the application on their client or add the report server as a trusted site. Is there a method by which Report Builder can be locally installed on the client pc instead of online only with it knowing the correct report server to access and then still launch correctly when the report builder button is pressed through report manager?
I am not a web application guru by any means and we have tried to replicate the oneclick deployment and what occurs in the local settings/apps/2.0 subdirectories, but the application still attempts to download/install again. If we attempt to just launch the local executable on the client, report builder assumes the client pc (localhost) is the report server to access. Is there a method which will succeed?

I have a report builder drill down report. I have row groups with totals.   It looks like the attached.  The problem is when the report is not expanded the Grand Totals column is not accurate... it is displaying the totals of one of the rows when expanded.The expression in the Total Show text box is
= Switch ( Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
MID(Fields!protocol_id.Value,1,7)="THERAPY", Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
                     Sum(IIF(Fields!status.Value = "CO", CDbl(Fields!TX_CO.Value),      Nothing)),
 MID(Fields!protocol_id.Value,1,7) = "GENERAL" and                          MID(Fields!program_id.Value,1,6)
= "INTAKE", Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Sum(IIF(Fields!status.Value = "CO",
[code]...
Is there any way to not display the expression in the Total columns unless the report is expanded?

HI, there,
I added a new windows user "ReportUser" which is a local user (not in administrator group). When I connect to the report manage's web page, I use reportuser to log in (when the anonymous access is disabled it will ask a log in). Report builder icon is not showing up on the report manager home page.
If I log in as a user in administrator group, the reportr builder icon shows up so I can download it and build report.
I have assigned reportuser "Content manager" and "repoter builder" access to the home folder. Is there anything else I have to do to make the report build icon show up on the home page?
Thanks

I have client machine in one domain, say A domain , on which I have installed .net 2.0 without any problem. I have report server running in other domain (B domain) where I have deployed few models which will be used from domain A to create ad hoc reports by launching Report Builder. I can access other reports in domain B from A
But when I click on Report Builder ..it tries to connect to server in domain B but fails to connect and shows following log in a text pop up
I know, problem is because of cross domain communication but question is then how to fix it ? what changes I need to do for that in firewall, domain etc etc settings?
Here is the error, I have highlighted lines which might give some clue:

I was wondering if there was any way to add a value field to a report, with the time it took for the report to Process.
It would probably be a text field with an Expression, but don't know how that would go.
I know that in Expression there is a value for ExecutionTime (when report began to run), but nothing about when it ends.Can this be done? and if yes, how?

Is there a way to see Report-Level variables in Report Builder 3.0? Also, just as a feedback, it would be really nice if there were a way to see and easily access all of the variables used in a report from one location instead of going to the dataset, the report, and then to the individual groups (if needed) to see the variables. Also, it would be very useful if Group-level variables can show up in the Expression Builder as well.

I've gotten to the point of publishing the new reports on the SSRS server and have run into the following problem.
I use a field in the primary report with the "Go to report" action to open up another report (also published) for more details. It works properly from within ReportBuilder (2.0) using the report server and I can go to and from the secondary report as I expect. Its passing the correct parameters to the second report and its runs.
But when I use the reports from the SSRS web, the Go To link no longer works. Mouse hover shows its still a link but clicking goes no where. I can run both reports independently from SSRS and they still work. Â
I've tried this in IE and Chrome with no luck in either. I also poked around at Compatability view and popup blocker but nothing made any difference.

I am setting up the SQL2005 reporting service to let users build their own reports on the web. I'll provide them with pre-built report models. We have concern with SQL database performance by allowing users to execute huge reports. The problem that I have is: If I give the users permissions to build report they'll have access to the report's Properties | Execution page, which allows them to disable the report execution timeout. Is there a way for me to allow them build reports while restrict them to access the report execution timeout settings?
Please advise. Many thanks.

Hi,
I've created dsv that contain all fields from table database. in the smdl I've remove some fileds due to security. All fields in the smdl do not contain drill.
Issue: When I created calculated field in the report builder the field has a link. When I clicked the drill I saw all the record data including field that not in the smdl.
Questions:
1) Can I remove the link from the calculated fields?
2) Can I prevent from users drill to fields that not in the smdl?
Thanks,

Hi,
I have environment that use SSRS 2005 ad hoc reporting.
One of the users (out of 200) is unable to open or save reports in the report builder.
the user succeed to open the report builder, when he try to save report that he build from shema he get error. as well when he try to open an existing report that build in the report builder he also get an error,
On open the error is:
The numeric portion of 2pt cannot be parsed as a unit of the type point.
The Initilizer for 'Microsoft.ReportingServices.Design.Constants' threw an exception
On Save the error is:
System.IO.StreamReader: Deserialization failed: The type initializer for 'Microsoft.ReportingServices.Design.Constants' threw an exception. Line 2, position 2
Please note that I succeed with second user to create ad hoc report on the first user
computer. I also failed to with the first user to create ad hoc on another computer.
It seems like permissions issue
Thanks,
Assaf
