What would be an equivalent expression for ISNULL(datafield, 0) for a table/matrix cell? I am using iif( Len().. to find out if there is something in the cell, and displaying zero in the cell if the length of cell item is 0, however am wondering if there is any better/elegant way of doing that?
I have 2 higher level column groupings of month name and year above my actual date groups. It looks a little weird aligning them left but there is no guarantee that centering them will even allow them to show until I've scrolled right to the middle of the cell width that they occupy.
Is there a feature that comes with, or a well known trick for making them center in the area that is being viewed instead of the potentially very wide cell that they occupy?
I have an issue in a group for a Matrix report I have created. Currently if a field in a table has null values in it, the grouping does not show in the matrix. Is there a way to force a group to show if there are Null values? I figure there must be a property to toggle on/off that would take care of this but I cannot seem to find it.
I am newbie to reporting services and I need some help. Could any one please let me know how to replace Null value with 0 in the data section of the Matrix. I don't want blanks to be displayed on the report, I want those to be replaced with 0's.
I have a column defined as smalldatetime. Default length (4), and "allow NULLS" is checked.In the Enterprise Manager UI, when i enter data into that table row, if i just tab past that column, all is well, and the value is represented in the UI as <NULL>.The problem comes once i ever enter a date into that column. Say i have entered a date (all is well), and now i want to remove that entry and go back to NULL (after the date value has been committed, different entry session, say).How is that done?It seems to me, once a date has ever been entered into that column, now, if i try to remove it, i get the error "The value you entered is not consistant with the data type or length of the column, or over grid buffer limit". I have tried deleting the value, entering spaces, entering the string NULL or the string <NULL>; maybe some other tries as well, but none works, i always get that error message and am not allowed to proceed past that cell until i restore a date value to it. I want to get back to <NULL>.Anybody know?Thank you.Tom
I am converting a site from asp to .net and the previus writer did something I never saw.(I am somewhat new to programming all together). He put multiple values in a single cell of the database. I have always learned to use a seperate column for each value. Is this a classic asp thing and there are better ways now? Or is this something I should do myself? The columns type is text and the contents look like this:<Details Expertise="bla bla" Description="We are a three-divisional company ...," WebSite="www.blabla.com" AccountLevel="Free" AccountStatus="Active" WorkHomeZIP="22222" ContractStartDate="01/01/2003" ContractEndDate="12/31/2003"><Address Location="Work" State="Oh" ZIP="22222"/><Email Location="Work" Value=""/><Phone Location="Fax" Code="9801" Ext=""/></Details>
I'm trying to checking my production table table_a against a working table table_b (which i'm downlading data to)Here are the collumns i have in table_a and table_bDescription | FundID (this is not my PK) | Money I'm running an update if there is already vaule in the money collumn. I check to see if table_a matches table_b...if not i update table a with table b's value where FundID match up.What i'm having trouble on is if there is no record in table_a but there is a record in table_b. How can I insert that record into table_a? I would like to do all of this (the update and insert statement in one stored proc. if possible. )If anyone has this answer please let me know.Thanks,RB
I have two tables called A and B and C. Where A and C has the same schema A contains the following columns and values-------------------------------------------PoId Podate Approved 2 2008-07-07 No 4 2007-05-05 No 5 2005-08-06 Yes 6 2006-07-07 Yes Table B contains the following columns and values-------------------------------------------------TaskId TableName Fromdate Approved_Status 1 A 7/7/2007 No3 B 2/4/2006 Yes Now i need to create a stored procedure that should accept the values (Yes/No) from the Approved_Status column in Table B and should look for the same values in the Approved column in Table A. If both values match then the corresponding rows in Table A should be archived in table C which has the same schema as that of Table A. That is the matching columns should get deleted from Table A and shoud be inserted into Table C. Pls provide me with full stored procedure code. It is very urgent.
I'm currently working on a report which contains a number of matrix' with subtotals. Each matrix calculates a STDEVP which works just fine and the total shows the values I want.
However, I would like to change the font color of each cell based on the value compared to the total.
For example:
A 4.5 B 7.8 C 3.9 D 5.2 Total 5.7
With the values of A and C being less than the Total, I want to change their color to "Green" and the others to "Red".
I was hopeing I would be able to do something like this. =Iif(ReportItems!matrix1_std.value < xxxxxxxxx,"Green","Red")
Where ReportItems!matrix1_std.value is the values of A-D and xxxxxxxxx would be the "Total"
Is this in some way possible??
I found many expamples for changing the color etc of the totals cell but nothing which tells me how to change the layout of a cell based on the total value.
Hi, I'm working with MRS and I've got a table with a lot of entries. For each value in the table I'm trying to get the text colour to be set to 'red' when the value of the cell is less than 0. Otherwise remain black.
I can do this by setting the colour property cell by cell. But I have a lot of cells in the table. Is there a way to set the statement to apply to ALL cells in the table?
Basically I'm asking if there is a way to set the property in bulk instead of going through tediously cell by cell.
When I created a Table control, I was able to read things like .Color, FormattedValue, etc. from SSAS. This was great, because I could control all existing and future reports' formatting via one change in the cube.
Now, I've decided that a Matrix control is superior for various reasons. However, I notice that I MUST apply an aggregate function to get a cell value...well, it appears that this means there's no longer any way for me to read my SSAS formatting.
I tried =First(Fields!DataValue.FormattedValue), =Max(...), etc.
I also tried it with the color property, etc. Nothing worked.
Are there any workarounds? I'd hate to embed the formatting into each of my 40 reports, because the user is likely to change his/her mind after the fact.
I'm a real novice user and I we use SQL Server. I have a table called TableLog that has the 4 columns. The first column is repeated x number of times for each value in the second column. I'd like to see this information put into a matrix where I could tell if there are any missing intersections. In addition, I need to insert a WHERE clause that says "BETWEEN 20090000 AND 20100000" for the first and second columns.
My team is using TFS for work item management and I'd like to provide a week schedule matrix that displays: - weekdays on the x-axis - persons on the y-axis - and the assigned workitems in the cell.
This works fine if there's only one WIT (work item) per day but some WIT's are shorter and thus the resource is assigned more than one a day. My dataset may return something like this:
Date Person WIT 28/3 Mark Task1 28/3 Mark Task2 28/3 Hank Task3 29/3 Mark Task2 29/3 Hank Task3
In this case I'd like the matrix to look something like this, i.e. the two tasks Task1 and Task2 in the same cell: Mark Hank 28/3 Task1 Task3 Task2 29/3 Task2 Task3
I've set up the matrix in the report but I only get the first item per day to show. Mark Hank 28/3 Task1 Task3 29/3 Task2 Task3
The default definition in the cell was "=First(Field!TaskName.Value)", so I figured I'd solved the issue by changing it to "=Field!TaskName.Value", but it didn't.
I have a pivot transform that pivots a batch type. After the pivot, each batch type has its own row with null values for the other batch types that were pivoted. I want to group two fields and max() the remaining batch types so that the multiple rows are displayed on one row. I tried using the aggregate transform, but since the batch type field is a string, the max() function fails in the package. Is there another transform or can I use the aggragate transform another way so that the max() will work on a string?
I am currently trying to figure out how to change the background colour of a cell when that row happens to be a subtotal
I have included a screen shot of my report design below:
(The link to the image is http://diagnostic.iipuk.co.uk/images/RS_Questions.JPG should the image not be displayed)
When the cell that is circled is on a subtotal row (i.e. is the subtotal of either the first subtotal (which I have called RegionTot) or the second subtotal (which I have called QCTotal) I want the background colour to change to black). This is so the user cannot see the subtotal for that column on the screen.
I have tried using the following expression in the background colour property for that cell (without success!):
The error that comes up states that report item expressions can only refer to other report items within the same grouping scope or a containing grouping scope.
I have searched help and haven€™t managed to find anything!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

I'm using an ObjectDataSource in Visual Studio to retrieve records from a SQL Server 2005 database. I have a very simple dilemma. In a table I have fields FirstName, Surname, Address1, Address2, Address3 etc. None of these are mandatory fields. It is quite common for the user not to enter data in Address2, Address3, so the values are <null> in the SQL table. In Visual Studio 2005 I have an aspx form where users can pass search parameters to the ObjectDataSource and the results are returned according to the passed in parameters. The WHERE clause in my Table Adapter is:WHERE (Address1 LIKE @Address1 + '%') AND (Address2 LIKE @Address2 + '%') AND (Address3 LIKE @Address3 + '%') AND (FirstName LIKE @FirstName + '%') AND (Surname LIKE @Surname + '%') If, for example, I simply want to search WHERE FirstName LIKE ‘R’, this does not return any results if the value of Address3 is <null> My query is this: Could someone please show me the best way in Visual Studio 2005 to return records even if one of the Address fields is <null>. For reference, I have tried: Address3 LIKE @Address3 + '%' OR IS NULLThis does work, however itsimply returns every instance where Address3 is <null> (accounting for about 95% of the records in the database). Thanks in advance Simon
Question: Why would I not be able to import an Access 97 table inwhich some records have null values in fields that allow null values?Wouldn't the table's design be imported first, bringing the columns'"allow nulls" attribute with it?I'm dealing with both text and numeric columns. Not all columnscontaining nulls cause an error.Thanks,Bob C.
I'm trying to do a Clr function wiht null values but I have an error. My Clr is like this:

I extracted data from a flat file using SSIS package and load them into destination table. One column contains no data. Data type of that column is varchar(9). I want to display "NULL" values in that column.
I used LOOK up transformation and used the following query.

Name Joe Slick
Tell us about cats "null"
Tell us about dogs they sure chase Cats a lot.
I want my report to generate like this:

Tell us about dogs they sure chase cats allot.
How do I omit null fields in a report including the field description? I am pretty flexible and I am willing to explore using ASP.Net, asp, html, VS2005 ? Or please tell me a program to use. I have a lot of reports to create. The data base is MS SQL 2005. The reports need to be published to the web. Can anyone suggest the best method?
I have a table that I know has a null or nothing in a field. When I run this query to get a list of them nothing comes back at all but it doesn't error out. Any ideas?

I have two tables 1) tblCustomer (ID, Name, City) 2) tblemp (ID, NAME, Dept.ID, tblcustomer.ID) Both the tables have ID as PKA emp can be either assigned a) All customers b)single customer c) NO customer Pls note:- there will never be 2 or 3 customer linked to emp (my actuall requirement tables are different but to explain i am using the above tables) I know how to assign single customer......but had problem how to link all customers and "no customer" Please tell me if the following solution is right?1) I will manually insert a record in tblCustomer with id 0 as " all customers" and will not allow the user to delete it 2) store null in FK if it is "no customer" Also please tell me is it ok to store one more value in tblCustomer as -1 and take it as "No customer" I have a DDL in the Employee page which should be displaying the names of allthe customers with 2 extra values "ALL CUSTOMERS" and "SELECT" Select is the default value in DDL which says "NO CUSTOMER" selected yet Thank youSara
I have a table with data in two columns, item and system. I am trying to accomplish is we want to compare if an item exists in 1, 2 or all systems. If it exists, show item under that system's column, and display NULL in the other columns.
I have aSQL Fiddle that will allow you to visualize the schema.
The closest I've come to solving this is a SQL pivot, however, this is dependent on me knowing the name of the items, which I won't in a real life scenario.
select [system 1], [system 2], [system 3] from ( SELECT distinct system, item FROM test where item = 'item 1' ) x pivot ( max(item)
