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
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.
hey there I have a series of finacial reports. the girls that work on them want color and the boss wants them to print in black and white. the color back grounds print grayscale so I would like to add a link of some sort that changed the background to transparent when they want to print a report.
hu guys, I am trying to change the colour of the background of each row in a table depending on the month it is. I have tried putting the expression =IIF(Datepart("month",Fields!AppDate.Value) = Datepart("month",Now) ,"Green","Red") in the backgroundcolor forthe table row, but it doesn' work.
do you have any suggestions ? or can see why this isn't working?
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,
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.
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.
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".
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. Preview complete -- 0 errors, 1 warnings
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
I am creating a report that the requirements need different background colors based on the row or column as shown below:

Rolling 12 Month Average 477 2.9 3.3' I can get the row colors to work great with an expression, but when I try to add the gray column with conditional formatting for the Resident's Overall Satisfaction Rating question, it clobbers my row formatting. I am thinking that I will have to do some gnarly expression in each of the rows and columns using the InScope function. Does that sound about right, or is there an easier way?
Does anyone know how to implement conditional formatting with three criteria (e.g. If a value is <83 then BGcolour Green, between 83 and 90 the BGcolour is Yellow, greater than 90 the BGcolour is green).
I have tried approaching it in two ways. One was with a case statement as follows:
CASE
WHEN TargetPer < 83 THEN 'Red'
WHEN TargetPer >= 83 AND TargetPer < 90 THEN 'Yellow'
WHEN TargetPer >= 90 THEN 'Green'
END AS BGColor
TargetPer being the value i wish to examine. I returned this in the query dataset i am using to populate the report. I then used the following expression to set the backgroundcolor property:
=Fields!BGColor.Value
Unfortunately I get no yellow fields for the appropriate values (even though the BGcolor value says yellow!!!)
The other approach i have used is the following expression to set the background colour
=IIf(Fields!TargetPer.Value>90,"Green",IIf(Fields!BGColor.Value>=83 and Fields!BGColor.Value <=90, "Yellow","Red"))
For this i still have no yellows just reds and greens!
I am using a matrix report that has subgroups on the columns for table!
SQL Server 2000. Here's what I have so far. The section of the query I need help with is highlighted in blue.
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.GetByVersion ( @targetVersion varchar(30), @product varchar(50) ) AS SET NOCOUNT ON; SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE (product = @product) AND CASE WHEN @targetVersion='' THEN (targetVersion='') ELSE (targetVersion LIKE @targetVersion + '%') END GO
I get a syntax error in the Stored Procedure editor on an equal sign in this line: WHEN @targetVersion='' THEN (targetVersion='')
What I want is this (in psuedocode): if @targerVersion is blank search for records where the targetVersion column = blank else search for records where the targetVersion column starts with @targetVersion
Can anyone offer any suggestions as to how I might modify my query to do what I want? Any help is very much welcome - Thanks in advance! :-)
I am having a problem trying to do some conditional formatting on the text color.
This textbox is in the Group Footer so i essentially want change the color to red if the SUM of one field in the group is less than the SUM of another field in the same group.
I am doing this: =Iif(Sum(Fields!YTDChargeHours)< Sum(Fields!YTDForecast), "Red", "Black")
but i am getting this error:
[rsRuntimeErrorInExpression] The Color expression for the textbox €˜YTDChargeHours€™ contains an error: Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object.
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.
I have a chart with series that needs conditional colour for three conditions. One condition must be transparent. I have tried the various IFF or SWITCH expressions below and some work fine in SSDT but when I deploy them to the browser the formatting is lost. This simple IFF expression works. The series is transparent as required both in SSDT (Visual Studio BIDS) and IE11 and Firefox browsers but I need two other conditions.Â
Both of the expressions below work in SSDT (Visual Studio BIDS) as expected but when deployed to the browser none of this formatting is rendered and all series are in blues even the ‘transparent’ series. No red at all.
I have tried deleting various files RDL and DATA. I have tried uploading the file from report manager in IE and I have tried editing the file in report manager.
I have a table Catalog_Item with 365000 rows. I wish to move the contents of the table to an identical database on a different server using bcp. The table has no primary keys, foreign keys, or indexes. I am able to successfully bcp out the data in character format and native format.
I attempt to bcp the data in to the identical table on the other server, but the bcp ALWAYS fails at 19000 or 20000 rows; it does not complete, just hangs there in the command window, with no more info. When I use a small data set of 5000 rows, the same happens at the end of those 5000. I have tried to redo the bcp in native mode, and character mode. I have tried to specify the first line starts at 125000. I have tried to bcp the data into a different database on a different server; that also quits at 19000 or 20000 rows.
BCP of other large data sets into the same database occurs smoothly. Only this combination of table and data set is giving this problem.
Is there a way in order to execute a subscribed report based on a certain criteria?
For example, let's say send a report to users when data exist on the report else if no data is returned by the query executed by the report then it will not send the report to users.
My current situation here is that users tend to say that this should not happen, since no pertinent information is contained in the report, why would they receive email with blank data in it.
I am having trouble connecting to an SQL Server from an ASP.NET page written in C#. I have reduced the code in my page to this: public void Page_Load( object s, EventArgs e ) {
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection( "Server=server;User ID=user;Password=pass;" ); conn.Open();
} and I get the following error: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
This works for other server/user/pass except the one I am having trouble with. The SQL Server is using SQL & Windows Authentication. I am able to connect from the machine that is running the webserver via osql, ODBC, and MS Access using the same arguments (server, user, and pass), so I know that the SQL server does exist, and the User/Password should give me access. Does anyone have any ideas why this isn't working or what ASP.NET is does differently from the other access methods? Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mark Dane
I have created a maintenance plan which backups to a device which I have created. However the device does not show in explorer and maintenance plan cannot find it when it trys to open the device. Consequently I'm not getting a backup. Even if I delete the device and re create it things don't change.
I was working at a customer site and wanted to verify that backups were indeed being run successfully before I began to make changes.
I noticed a dump device for the production database with the nightly backup in it but I cannot find the task that produces this dump. I did find the task that dumps the log each hour.
Is there another area that some of you DBAs used to schedule dumps other than the task manager that I might be missing? Maybe an AT job?

Hey All, Hope this is the right place for this post.
I set up logshipping between two databases recently. everything looks fine. the backup, copy and restore jobs are all suceeding(from the job log). the problem is no Tlogs are being restored in secondary database. The restore job skips all the tlogs and says it did not find any tlog back up file to restore!! The jobs finishes with this:
007-07-17 14:40:30.59 Could not find a log backup file that could be applied to secondary database 'SaaSNet_dataStore'.2007-07-17 14:40:30.59 The restore operation was successful. Secondary Database: 'SaaSNet_dataStore', Number of log backup files restored: 02007-07-17 14:40:30.59 Deleting old log backup files.

In general, patch management solutions use an approach very similar to inventory and deployment, although, obviously, implementation details vary. Inventory relies on an external database to establish what is considered to be a recommended patch level and provides criteria for validating whether a particular patch has been installed. Products from Microsoft and Shavlik Technologies (on which HFNetChk, MBSA, and SMS 2.0 Feature Pack are based), keep track of published patches on the Microsoft Web site using the same mechanism, based on an XML formatted file called mssecure.xml. This file, available centrally at predefined locations, serves as a template against which the status of updates on target systems is compared. mssecure.xml can be obtained directly or via its compressed, digitally signed version, mssecure.cab. Both files can be downloaded from:
the Microsoft Web site at https://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/search/mssecure.xml and http://download.microsoft.com/download/xml/security/1.0/nt5/en-us/mssecure.cab the Shavlik.com Web site at https://xml.shavlik.com/mssecure.xml and http://xml.shavlik.com/mssecure.cab
Calling any OLAP Guru's. Were attempting to improve a vendors BI process which involves running MDX queries against our SSAS cube, then saves the data into their own proprietary database which is taking to long.
We currently run this process on a x16 CPU, 65GB top end server attached to expensive disk subsystem, however a dual-core processor laptop completely out performs the expensive hardware by around 45% quicker. Both when the configuration is identical or when we ramp up the processes on the expensive hardware it still performs miserably compared to the laptop. Perfmon counters or Profiler don't so much difference when comparing the server and laptop.
Does anyone know why the laptop completely outstrips the expensive top end hardware perfmance wise although the configuration profile is identical?
