Can I Use The Parameter Value To A Text Box On A Matrix Report?
May 15, 2008
I am creating this OLAP matrix report and I tried to speed up the time needed for the OLAP dataset by limiting the number of columns in the dataset. I have two parameters, year and month, for the dataset which are set to multi-select values. Year and month are not assigned to the dataset as for the reason mentioned above (performance). However I do want to show the year and month in the matrix report. Can I use the parameter value when assigning the grouping for the year and month like "Parameters!DateCalendarYear.Value" etc and the same to the text box in the matrix report?
I tried it to the report and it returned with an error saying "The Group expression used in grouping 'matrix_....' returned a data type that is not valid"
I am facing one problem with reporting services 2005 (SSRS), When i try to pass a parameter to Cube which is built in SSAS, i can not use a parameter where i can type the value instead of choosing it from a dimension.
Any way we can type the value for parameter, instead choosing from the drop down? If can, then how can we create the parameter? and how can i write a MDX to read it?
I have a matrix report with 4 row groups. I am experiencing a bug with the text that is displayed in the second group.
When it changes group 1, the text for second group is alway wrong for the first row in the list. It always shows the text that was displayed for the first row of the previous group1.
Here is what it looks like. Has anyone else seen this? Please tell me there is a solution and that matrix reports aren't just broken ...
I'd like to create a report with the folloiwng format:
DATE1 DATE2 DATE3 DATE4 DATE5 [fixed 5 dates across the top, from today to T+5]
THING1 x x x x
THING2 x x x x
THING3 x x x x
THING4 x x x x
my raw data looks like this:
THING1, DATE1, TEXT VALUE 1
THING1, DATE2, TEXT VALUE 2
&c&c.
Now: there may be 0, 1 or several (by which I mean 2-5 max) text values to display at each intersection. If there are zero I'd like it to be blank, if there are one or several, i'd like to display them in a little list within the cell.
Which suggests that if only one of the two multivalue parameter id is selected display the same (Parameters!ServiceAttribute.Value(0)).
This works fine when i select both the attributes but throws an exception "Index was outside the bounds of the array" when i select only one of the parameters. Can anyone help me with that?
Also i want this report parameter to allow null i.e. if a user does not select anything he should still be able to view the report. In case of regular dropdowns i have added a <Null> value to the existing values and set the default to null. But in case of multi-value, it does not give an option of adding <Null>
Adding more columns in a matrix report that don€™t belong to the columns drilldown dimensions€¦
That is, for example, having the following report:
Product Family
Product
Country City Number of units sold
Then I would add some ratios, that is, Units Sold/Months (sold per month) and other that is the average for Product Family (Units Sold/Number of Product Family), for putting an example€¦ some columns should be precalculated prior to the report so do not get into it, the real problem I don€™t see how to solve is adding one or two columns for showing these calculated column that doesn€™t depend on the column groups but they do for the rows groups€¦
Any guidance on that?
The only way I am seeing by now is to set it as two different reports, and that is not what my client wants€¦
I am on the verge of being able to do exactly what I want, but just can't seem to find the right combination of things to do it. I'm sure all of you wonderful folks will be able to point it out to me immediately, but I've been looking at it too long or something....
I have a record of individual sales with the state, and quarter of the sale.
sale_id state quarter 001 NY 2005Q1 003 WI 2006Q2 etc.
I create a report with a matrix to show count(sale_id) with Quarter as the column group and State as the row group. This works fine.
Now what I want to do is to get percentages based on quarterly sales. In other words, what percent of sales for 2005Q1 in NY vs. all sales in 2005Q1. So I create a second dataset (called total) with an SQL query like so:
SELECT count(sale_id) FROM data_table WHERE quarter = @QueryQuarter
Now, back in the matrix I want to use the column that we're in (2005Q1, 2005Q2, etc.) as the value that is passed to this query.
This is a simple concept, but I can't seem to figure out the correct call to pass the column group to the query as the parameter.
Thank you for any pointers you might be able to give. As I said, I'm right on the verge and just can't quite get it.
Hello, since a couple of days I'm fighting with RS 2005 and the Stored Procedure.
I have to display the result of a parameterized query and I created a SP that based in the parameter does something:
SET ANSI_NULLS ON SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON CREATE PROCEDURE [schema].[spCreateReportTest] @Name nvarchar(20)= ''
AS BEGIN
declare @slqSelectQuery nvarchar(MAX);
SET NOCOUNT ON set @slqSelectQuery = N'SELECT field1,field2,field3 from table' if (@Name <> '') begin set @slqSelectQuery = @slqSelectQuery + ' where field2=''' + @Name + '''' end EXEC sp_executesql @slqSelectQuery end
Inside my business Intelligence Project I created: -the shared data source with the connection String - a data set : CommandType = Stored Procedure Query String = schema.spCreateReportTest When I run the Query by mean of the "!" icon, the parameter is Prompted and based on the value I provide the proper result set is displayed.
Now I move to "Layout" and my undertanding is that I have to create a report Paramater which values is passed to the SP's parameter... So inside"Layout" tab, I added the parameter: Name allow blank value is checked and is non-queried
the problem is that when I move to Preview -> I set the value into the parameter field automatically created but when I click on "View Report" nothing has been generated!!
I had thought that this was possible but I can't seem to figure out the syntax. Essentially I have a report where one of the parameters is populated by a stored procedure.
Right now this is easily accomplished by using "exec <storedprocname>" as the query string for the report parameter. However I am not clear if it is possible to now incorporate User!UserID as parameter to the stored procedure. Is it? Thanks
I have a report parameter called para1 which is a drop-down list and what I want to do is display another report parameter based on the para1 selection.
So for example, para1 contains a, b, c choices. if a user selects b, I would like para2 to display but if the user selects a or c, I don't want the para2 to display.
I'll go to a dataset, open up the query designer, add a new parameter, then refresh the fields, but the parameter won't be added as a report parameter. If I go to the dataset properties under the list of parameters, the value in the dropdown will be blank. However, sometimes this will automatically add.Â
Is this a bug in Visual Studio? How do I get around this?Â
I have created a menu report listing available reports and am setting the Jump to settings of each text box in the list to take the user to the relevent report. But I am having a problem setting up drill down to reports with multivalued parameters.
What I want to happen when the user drills down is for the report to open up with no parameter values selected. This works for single value parameters where I have set Null as the default value. But I have not been able to figure out how to do this with MVPs. Does anybody know if this is possible?
As a workaround I have been using Jump to URL (rather than Jump to report), which has no problem opening the report without having to pass any values for the MPV. But I do not like using this as I use different DEV/UAT and PROD environments so would have to amend the URL for each environment.
Seems like this should be possible... Any idea?
Cheers, Mike
PS: I should add I can Jump to reports with MVP without specifying a parameter in development studio but not when the report is published.
I developed a matrix SSRS report for a specific scenario, and the results look something like the example below. The result set is grouped by the date value, so for all records on that date in the first column I have just one value - 2/5/2007. The client would like to see a value for each cell in every row in the date column, so they can sort the results and do other manipulation in Excel. I tried to make it happen but I doesnt seem to work using the matrix. I would really appreciate if anyone has any suggestions on how to make it work. btw, it really has to be a matrix report :)
Now I want to add Approved into one row and decisioned into the next row like that. I can easily do row grouping in the matrix. but then I wont be able to add new rows inbetween those groups. I want to add some rows inbetween those groups to include calculated fields.
I know this question has been asked here before, but it was ridiculously answered : http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=98764&SiteID=1
I have a text object on my crystal report, to which I programmatically want to assign text in CS. It all works fine, except that if I have html tags in there, the text doesn't get formatted, it just displays the html tags as text as well.
Now in thread linked above, the answer was: right click the text object, and format the text object, hit paragraph text and select text interpretation to HTML. The only problem is, that for a text object, it doesn't have the text interpretation option. It's only an option for a formula field. It says so in the tech support link posted inside the post itself!!!
So if you have any idea how I can do this, please someone help me out. I am new to crystal, and there's not much helpful info on it online. I've searched for this for hours, and no solution.
Is there a tutorial on how to do a matrix report with row & column tables? This is easy on by default in Crystal, but I can't figure out how to do it in RS.
I have created a Matrix report with 5 row groups (Company and ProductName, ProductEndDate), one column group (Status) and two data columns(Amount & Count).
The report works fine except that it does not sort properly. I want to sort the data by Company, ProductEndDate, ProductName.
I took the following steps -- I highlighted the matrix and in the properties dialog box, selected the groups tab. In groups I selected each row group, hit the edit button, clicked the sorting tab and Company, ProductEndDate, ProductName.
I have matrix report to display gender statistics based on hierachical geographic data e.g. Country 1 | region 1 | subregion 1 | No-of-males | no-of-females with drill through enabled
I want to have persentage near the number-of-gender as well as total population for a row, like this Country 1 | region 1 | subregion 1 | No-of-males (%-males) | no-of-females (%-females) | Total in the row
but I cannot find the way to do it.
Expression for data cell is =sum(Fields!no_of_person.Value)
I've got this data source that returns member information.. great.
I've got a function that when passed the member number and a month/ year returns days participating in the club.
I need to build a report that will output some of the columns for the member, but then report other information for 6 months for each member that all calulated based on days particpating for that month. Which 6 months will be dertimed by a single parameter passed to the report for starting month/year... basically the next 6 months.
Is a matrix report a good option for this? Or should I just have the function called 6 times in my data source? Ideally I layout the report for one month and then *somehow* join in my data source for 6 iterations where month is 1 through 6.
Right now I'm having trouble wrapping my mind around how and where to join the data? Especially if matrix and I have two data sources. I'm also not sure I can call my function from cells in the matrix or if I can even have mulitple data buckets in the matrix. I'm tempted to do this the only way I know how, but I suspect there is a better way.
I've never built a matrix report in ssrs, any information or help is appreciated.

I am somewhat new to SRS. I am creatnig a report containing a Matrix. I did this because there are one or more columns included in the data set. I would like to add totals to both the rows and columns.
Here is data samples of the matrix: Columns: C1, C2, C3... Rows: R1, R2, R3, ... There is a total making up the data section and looks like this (I will just use Valx for the value in the data section):
C1 C2 C3 .... R1 Val1 Val2 Val3
R2 Val4 Val5 Val6 R3 Val7... .... . . .
I would like to total each column and have a summary at the bottom (for the C1 this would contain Val1+Val4+Val7) and also like to have an extra column containing totals for each row (for the R1 this would contain Val1+Val2+Val3...).
Is there a way to do this? Am I missing something obvious?
Thank you for any help, it is very apprecaited. Eric

TERMS with dynamic data values such as Term1, Term2 and Term3 contains static row information such as Adviser, Section and School Year that is group by Student Name.
SUBJECT DETAILS with dynamic data values such as English, Math and History contains static columns such as Quiz, Project, Final Exam group by Subjects and Student Name.
How can we join two matrices in one report? Can someone help me on this?
Hi,I have setup a report model and am ready to deploy it for the first time. I have had no issues deploying my report definitions so presumably this should be alright.However, trying to deploy it gives this error:

OK, I'm pretty sure that the answer to my questions is "no", but the boss is pushing, and I thought I'd double check.
I want the selection of one report parameter to decide what shows up for another report parameter. Specifically in my case it has to do with dates. I have narrowed the results down to monthly dates, meaning that the starting dates always start with mm/1/yyyy and the ending dates are always mm/31/yyyy (for a 31 day month).
The boss wants the ending dates to always be >= the month of the starting dates. So, if the user choose 1/1/2007 for starting, the minimum ending date would be 1/31/2007, etc.. Since the parameters are loaded at report initiation, and SSRS isn't really event driven, I didn't think this was possible. I just wanted to make sure before I tell the boss that it's not. Please advise.
