Conditional Formatting Expression - Evaluate First 3 Characters Of String As Numbers
Mar 2, 2012
I'm trying to put conditional formatting on a field, that behaves as follows:
The data in the field is varchar, and sample data is either:
NULL
3.0 :0
11.7 :1 (these are ratios of a sort)
I want to evaluate the first 3 characters of the string as numbers.
Example:
Mid(fieldvalue,1,3) = "3.0" or "11."
Any data that is greater than 1.99, I want to make the background dark red, anything else including nulls, zebra formatting. I have the following expression built so far and it appears to work, except when the value is null. If the value is null, it leaves the background color white.
This is the warning: [rsRuntimeErrorInExpression] The BackgroundColor expression for the text box "Asthma" contains an error: Input string was not in a correct format.
=iif(
isnothing(Fields!Asthma.Value)
,(IIf(RowNumber(Nothing) Mod 2 = 0,"#b8cce4","#dbe5f1"))
,(iif(mid(Fields!Asthma.Value,1,3)>1.99
,"DarkRed"
,IIf(RowNumber(Nothing) Mod 2 = 0,"#b8cce4","#dbe5f1"))))
My logic is, if the field is null, zebra format, if mid of the value is > 1.99, dark red, everything else zebra formatting. As I said, this seems to work except for nulls.

Hi,
I have a table which has expression as a column and the data looks similar to the following .
ID (int) Expression (nvarchar data type)
1 8*(1/2)-6
2 278*(1/4)-2
3 81*(3/5) +4
I now have the expression as an nvarchar. (Ex: 8*(1/2)-6)
Now I need to evaluate this expression and output the result (which is -2 in above Ex) .Can someone give me idea on how do I evaluate the expression which is available as a string. I need to write a procedure for this.
I am unable to cast/convert nvarchar to float/int
Any sample code would be greatly appreciated.
This a very urgent requirement for me.Please get back
Thanks

I have what should be a simple string formatting issue -- removing all alpha characters from a phone number. T-SQL below is simple and works just fine:
declare @home_phone as char(14);
set @home_phone = '(123)979-3206';
set @home_phone = REPLACE(@home_phone,'-','');
set @home_phone = REPLACE(@home_phone,'(','');
set @home_phone = REPLACE(@home_phone,')','');
The condensed version below works equally well:
set @home_phone = REPLACE((REPLACE((REPLACE(@home_phone,'(','')),')','')),'-','');
Either script above returns correct result:
select @home_phone;
Result = '1239793206'
HOWEVER, within SSIS Derived Column expressions, this function fails to remove parentheses. First of all, Expression Builder doesn't like outer single quotes (turns red) which I resolved by using double quotes resulting in the following expression:
REPLACE(home_phone,"-","") + REPLACE(home_phone,"'('","") + REPLACE(home_phone,"')'","")
Unfortunately, this expression fails to remove parentheses and instead returns: '(123)9793206'
I've tried several different permutations--no inner single quotes; adding more inner single quotes; etc., but so far no success. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

I need to verify data in a column and do pattern matching on the string in each field.
I've create a CLR Function that will verify the element against the patter and return a True or Fales....
I have only used reg expressions once and am struggling mightly. I'm bacially here. A
I need to match a pattern that each word in the string will be a Capital letter.

I have a report with a column which contains either a string such as "N/A" or a number such as 12. A user exports the report to Excel. In Excel the numbers are formatted as text.
I already tried to set the value as CDbl which returns error for the cells containing a string.
The requirement is to export the column to Excel with the numbers formatted as numbers and the strings such as "N/A' in the same column as string.
Any suggestions?

I would like to evaluate expressions from within my execute function in a custom task. I saw this post from about 8 months ago detailing how it would be possible:
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=117564&SiteID=1
Is there an updated response (or more detailed example) to the question? Am I really risking a lot by using this undocumented feature?
Thanks!

Is there a way to evaluate an expression (like the derived column component) in a custom component? If so where should I look first? Is there an example?
An extremely simple sample is to put in an expression and evaluate one column and then add that to another column to create a new column. i.e. newcolumn = column1 + column2.
I realize that the derived column allows me to do this but I'm trying to figure out if it is possible to do this in a custom component without having to build my own expression evaluator.
Thanks!

Hi all,
I'm wondering if anyone's accomplished this before - I've been unable to find a whiff of info on how to do this so far.
I'm creating a custom component that I'd like to give a "Derived Column" type of ability to. By that, I mean I'd like to populate a property of my component with an expression (including references to input columns, package variables and functions) and be able to evaluate it at runtime - per row processed by the component.
I would also appreciate any information as to how to provide the interface to allow the user to build such an expression as well - is there a UI function in SSIS I can call to pop up the "expression builder"?
Thanks!

Hi!
On a Reporting Services 2005 report, I have a table with a single group row and a single detail row (and about 5 columns). The details are set up to toggle visibility based on a textbox in the group header called "txt_Order_Number". The order line item details are set with their initial visibility set as hidden. So, when you click on the Plus sign next to the Order Number, the detail rows display below.
However, what I'd like to do is change the background color of the toggled group header row when it is toggled and the details are displayed. Here's what's going on . . .
The row with the Order header information has every textbox set in bold. That's good. It makes a subtle distinction between the order detail rows and the order header row, so when you're looking at the dollar amounts on each line item and trying to add them up in your head to see whether they correctly add up to the dollar amount in the order header row, you can at least more easily see the total amount. However, it makes the whole overall report look funny because all of the order header information is in bold. What I really want to do is change the background color of the order header row to light gray or some other subtle color and change the font to Bold when the details are toggled to visible in order to distinguish that row as the header row.
In order to do this, I think I somehow need to get to a certain element of the Reporting Services object model called "Textbox.ToggleState". If I can get to that piece of the puzzle in an expression or even in code within the report, that should tell me the state of the textbox's toggle switch and I should be able to use that information to conditionally set the color of the textbox.(or every textbox in the row probably.) Here's all I could find out about this on TechNet
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.reportingservices.reportrendering.textbox.togglestate.aspx
I just can't figure out how to get to that piece of information in a Reporting Services expression or in the report's code block.
Any suggestions? I'd appreciate a response even if it's "You can't do that." Actually, the best response someone might be able to provide might be a link to a sample showing how to get to any of the textbox properties like that.
Thanks!
Karen

I am trying to add a filter and sorting to a matrix, within the matrix I have a column which works out the percentage and is as follows
=(Sum(Fields!Sum_Distinct_JobBilledExVAT.Value) + Lookup(Fields!ClientId.Value, Fields!JobClientId.Value, Fields!Sum_JobBilledExVAT.Value, "ProfJobClientsFees") + Lookup(Fields!ClientId.Value, Fields!ClientId.Value, Fields!Sum_JobBilledExVAT.Value, "ProfClientsFeesID")) / (Lookup(Fields!ClientId.Value, Fields!ClientId.Value, Fields!Sum_MatchedToOtherPost.Value, "ProfClientsMatch") + Lookup(Fields!ClientId.Value, Fields!ClientId.Value, Fields!Sum_JobBilledExVAT.Value, "ProfClientsCC") + Lookup(Fields!ClientId.Value, Fields!ClientId.Value,
[Code] ....
I tried enclosing the query in Abs( ), which I have done in the past, although in the past I wasn't using Lookup functions so I don't know if that is the reason it won't work.

I am using a MS Access ADP connected to SQL Server Data
In a view I have the following formula:
dbo.tblQuoteItem.Cost + dbo.tblQuoteItem.Markup * dbo.tblQuoteItem.Cost * .01
this calculates cost + markup
I cannot get it to format in Currency
Ex:
Cost is $1.75
Markup is 2.00 (2%)
Total shows - 1.785000
I want $1.78
Also - I am using this formula to calculate the Quoted price for the Qty Entered
dbo.tblQuoteItem.Qty * dbo.tblQuoteItem.Cost + dbo.tblQuoteItem.Markup * dbo.tblQuoteItem.Cost * .01
Using a Qty of 2 for above, I get 3.535000
I want $3.53
Any help is appreciated - AB

S2Agresso is a decimal type. It contains values such as 0.00, 3.30 etc.
I need it to display it in the following fomat - 00.00
i.e
0.00 becomes 00.00

10.20 remains as 10.20

In 'MyTable' I have the following columns...
TotalNumber (numeric)
Weighting (numreric)
Hours (numeric)
Minutes (numeric)
Formula (nvarchar)
'Formula' column stores a literal string of the formula that may include some, none or all of the previous columns or be NULL.
Here are some examples of the actual strings it stores...
Weighting*Hours
Weighting+(TotalNumber*Hours)
Weighting*Hours)+(TotalNumber*2)
etc etc
All I want to do is create a UDF that will evaluate these strings as math formula and return the value depending on the values of the other columns in the row.
Bear in mind that there may not be a string formula at all for some rows, in which case the value of teh Hours column alone should be the result.
I can do this in vb using the 'Replace' function but am having difficulty in translating it over to T-SQL.
Here is the vb version i use in Ms Access...
getFormula(strDutyType As String, dblTotalNumber As Double, dblWeightingAs Double, dblHours As Double, dblMinutes As String, strFormula As Variant)
If IsNull(strFormula) Or strFormula = "" Then
getFormula = dblHours
Exit Function
End If
'Create the expression string with literal values
strExpression = Replace(strFormula, "TotalNumber", _
CStr(dblTotalNumber), , , vbTextCompare) _
strExpression = Replace(strExpression, "Weighting", _
CStr(dblPF), , ,vbTextCompare)
strExpression = Replace(strExpression, "Hours", _
CStr(dblHours), , , vbTextCompare)
strExpression = Replace(strExpression, "Minutes", _
CStr(dblMinutes), , , vbTextCompare)
'Evaluate the math of the literal expression
getFormula = Eval(strExpression)
-----------
Many Thanks

I want to write an expression that will evaluate 2 fields. So, in simple terms, I want the following:
if field1 > 0 and field2 = "yes", apply formatting, otherwise leave formatting as is.
I am familiar with using iif statements, but since I want to evaluate 2 fields instead of one, I'm not sure how to proceed.
It seems I may need to use another statement, such as the Switch statement...I just don't know how.
Thanks for any help!

Hi,
I have a report as such:
dataset:
select s.supplier, i.item, p.price, i.[type],i.origin,i.unit
from pricelist p,item i,suppliers s
where p.item = i.pkey and p.supplier = s.pkey
and a matrix that has
row groups; item,type,origin,unit
column groups : supplier
and price as detail.
this has been achieved
example:
freshegg bestdeal freshmarket
Eggs small lo ea 1 2 2
now i want minimum price to be highlighted.
the minimum price on that row to be for example red.
I am currently trying in color properties set it like this:
=IIf(Fields!price.Value = Min(Fields!price.Value, "matrix1_unit"),"DarkRed","Black")
where matrix1_unit is the last row group,
but this is not working right,
Anyone has some directions?
thanks.

Hi,I have a table that has an ID field which is automatically incremented as each new record is added, so if I do a SELECT * FROM Table1 I get:ID, Name1, Billy2, Bob3, TonyYou get the idea. What I want to do is format the number differently when it's returned from an SQL statement so I get:ID, Name0001, Billy0002, Bob0003, TonySo I need something like SELECT FORMATNUMBER(ID, 4), Name FROM Table1 - Does anything like this exist?Little 'un.

Here's my problem: I have to clean up a SQL Server 2005 database with a large number of phone number records (several hundred thousand). The records are of varchar datatype and contain phone numbers in every format imaginable. In fact, many records have written notes regarding the phone numbers after the numbers themselves. What I need to do is format all of the phone numbers to this format:
###-###-####-
Basically I'm figuring I need to do the following:
1. Strip all non-numeric characters from the record
2. Remove the 1 from any records that have a leading 1 (in many cases the records contain stuff like 1-888-555-1234)
3. Remove any digits following the first 10 digits (they don't want to keep any extensions - the formatting is more important)
4. Add dashes after the first three digits, after the second three and at the end of the phone number
This seems like a rather complex problem to me, and honestly I don't even know where to begin. I can accomplish this rather easily in javascript or C#, but writing SQL to solve this is beyond me. I'd really appreciate any help you guys can provide. Thanks alot!

I have the following code in the color property of a textbox. However, when I run my report all of the values in this column display in green regardless of their value.
=SWITCH(Fields!Wrap.Value >= 3, "Red", Fields!Wrap.Value < 3, "Green")
I already tried =iif(Fields!Wrap.Value >= 3 , "Red", "Green") and got the same results.
Is it because this is a matrix report? What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance . . .

I have an SSRS report that I want to use conditional formatting on. When the value of the cell = 0, I want the background yellow, and the font red. For the background, I have:
=IIF(Fields!reads.Value = 0, "Yellow","White")
For the font color, I have
=IIF(Fields!reads.Value = 0,"Red", "Black")
The issue is that the background one is working properly, while the font one is not. If the value = 0, the font is invisible. The value is present in the report (I can export to excel and see it just fine). If I change both the background and font to the defaults, the value is STILL invisible.

Hi Everyone,
I am trying to hide a column in a matrix table. I have no trouble using conditional formatting to control the visibility of the column, but when I hide the column the main row in the matrix does not shrink. Therefore, I have a big gap€¦ My thought was to use conditional formatting to control the column width of the main matrix row. Listed below is the expression that I used. Can anyone help me with the error message or recommend a better solution?
=IIF(Fields!FiscalYear.Value = IIF(Month(TODAY()) = 10-12,Year(TODAY()) ,Year(Today())-1), 0.625in, 0.25in) cannot be parsed as a unit because it does not contain numeric values. Examples of valid unit strings are "1pt" and ".5in".
Regards,

I have a column that contains either a test score or the state abbreviation where the student passed a particular test. I want the text to be red between 100-159, green greater than or equal to 160 and black otherwise.
This is what I've tried to take care of the scores:
=IIf(Fields!Score.Value <= 159 and Fields!Score.Value > 100,"Red", "Green")
Two issues:
I want all other scores (< 100) to be Black and
I'm not sure how to deal with the state abbreviations. I'm assuming this is why I receive this error:
[rsRuntimeErrorInExpression] The Color expression for the textbox €˜Score€™ contains an error: Input string was not in a correct format.

I am trying to format a background color based on the field's value. But the expression always returns the false result.
Here is the expression I am using
=iif(Me.Value="RSB","Red","Blue")
I have also tried
=iif(ReportItems("Type").Value="RSB","Red","Blue")
Both fill the background color blue when the textbox clearly contains RSB. I'm not sure why it cannot find the value. The field data type is Char(4). The textbox values are all uppercase.
This all started when I was trying to use a report parameter for conditional formatting and I realized that it wasn't working. I broke down the expression by directly trying a value.
Any thoughts?

I have a report that when the user drills down I need to change the formatting to include borders and/or colours. I tried adding the following statement to top border of the element without luck. Since I don't know when the detail is the last line of the drop down, I am uncertain how to try adding it there.
I do not want the underline to show when there is no expanded drill down.
=iif((Previous(Level) > 0, "Dotted", "None")
g1 name1 total1
g1 name2 total2
d po#3a total3a
d po#3b total3b <<-- want to add underline between total3b and total3
g1 name3 total3

I am trying to create a report which has conditional formatting.
The primary dataset is a view of objects with several values
eg
object1,0,4,0,1
object2,0,3,1,1
The secondary dataset is the comparison table and just contains the values
eg
0,3,1,1
I'd like to conditionally format the values based on the comparison table but when I create an expression comparing to the second dateset
eg
=iif(Fields!object1.Value <> Fields!comp_object1.Value , "Red", "SkyBlue")
i get
Report item expressions can only refer to fields within the current data set scope or, if inside an aggregate, the specified data set scope.
Not sure if there is a way to tell the expression to look for comp_object1 in dataset2, even tho it is uniquely named?
Ideas gratefully received !
