I have a report that runs transcripts for people. I have a date parameter setup along with last and first name. The date parameter field is used to specify what year (ex. 1/1/2006 - 12/31/2006) to pull the information for.
Now..I have a text box at the bottom (Footer) of my report that says something to the affect of "Official transcripts for 2006". There will be times when I have to run the report using a different year other then "2006" in the date parameter field. How do I have the text at the bottom change to reflect the year I'm reporting on? If I use dates say in 2004 I need the text at the bottom to reflect that year and not 2006. Can this be accomplished?
I have a report that pulls data for the following date parameters:
DECLARE @STARTDATE datetime, @ENDDATE datetime SET @STARTDATE = GETDATE()-3 SET @ENDDATE = GETDATE() Select * from tablename where reportdate between @STARTDATE and @ENDDATE
This query works fine. I wanted to show the parameters chosen in a text box in the report so the user knows the date range the report was run. I tried using the following: "Discharge Date between " & Parameters!STARTDATE.Value & " and " & Parameters!ENDDATE.Value but I am getting a forward dependancy error. I have also tried setting a default value but can not get the correct code to subtract three days from Now()
I have parameters in my report. The user can choose the year, month and date (3 parameters). Now I want to set default vaules for the parameters , so that the user sees the report for example for the current day without selecting the parameters. I tried to set the type of the parameters to DateTime and the default value for example for the year to "=Today().Year" . But when I execute the report an error occures . Something like : no validValue for this parameter.
My Attributes for the year month and date are from an Analyis Services Cube from a Server Time dimension . Does somebody know how to make it possible to set default values for this parameters?
Other question :
Does somebody know how I can reduce the values for a parameter. For Example I have a parameter "year" from a server time dimension from a cube. The values which are available are "Year 2004", "Year 2005", "Year 2006", "Year 2007". But I want that the user only can choose "Year 2006" or "Year 2007" ant not every Year or "All". Or Other Example: The User should only choose a Date that is int the past or Today but not a Date in the future.
I am having report parameter end date I am showing the default value "5/21/2007 11:59:59 PM" in the end date paramter. And also I want to show date time format "(MM/DD/YYYY HH:MMS)" in the right hand side of the parameter. How to do this?
Date parameter. I created a report that allows a drop down for a date range to be selected. However, whenever I preview the report, I get an error. I know my error stems from my date fields being in this format "201301" , and the "date/ time" in SSRS being mm/dd/yyyy on the drop down calendar in SSRS.
I know the direction I want to go in, but just a little confused on where would I use the convert or cast function. Would it be in the data parameter itself, or a part of the query before the @start date and @End date?
Hi, Basically the above is a very common requirement, please comment on my solution which I've arrived at by searching through the web; -
In summary I have used 3 SSIS components these are "Flat File Source", "Derived Column" and "SQL Server Destination".
1) File Connections Manager Editor 1.1) Within File Connections Manager Editor; - Name the data type e.g. "INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE_SRC" and assign a type to the data type e.g. string[DT_STR]
1.2) Click on the Preview button to ensure the expected text is assigned to the expected data type.
2.4) Select "database timestamp [DT_DBTIMESTAMP] " as Data Type.
2.5) Within the Mappings tab of the SQL Destination Editor have; - Input Column as INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE and Destination Column as INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE.
Please comment on the above, I will then pass on my suggestion to Microsoft.
I asked this question below, but the answer was that the conversion will take place automatically, but I can't get that to happen. I have a flat file with an 8 position field that I identify as string (and I also tried date) that is yyyymmdd and it needs to go into the database field that is datetime format. IS there something I am doing wrong with the definition of it, or do I need to add some kind of conversion, and if so, what and how would that be done. I'm a dts Sql2000 expert, but the SSIS thing is driving me crazy. I have a ton of dts' to convert and the migration tool doesn't work because there are a lot of active X scripts in them. thanks for your help. Boston Rose

Does anyone know how to use 'sp_xml_preparedocument' with 'xmltext' parameter that is text data type?
On BOL,sp_xml_preparedocument argument definition, 'xmltext' is a text(char,nchar,varchar,nvarchar,text or ntext)parameter.
If declare 'xmltext' as 'varchar' data type varible, then sp_xml_preparedocument works perfect, but my xmltext more than 8000 characters, I have to use text data type.

How do I create a CLR function that takes a "text" sql datatype in VB.NET?
I need to write a CLR function which takes a full text parameter and return the word count of the full text. The full text can be pretty big.
If I specify the parameter with string datatype, when I view it in SQL management studio, it says "nvarchar(4000)" and it truncates the full text that's being passed in. Same thing happens if I specify it as SqlString. Ideally, I would like it to be translated into text datatype in sql.
I have one date parameter in my report. The user will be able to manually enter or use the calendar control. In the case of entering manually, is there any way to validate the input string? How can we prevent users from entering alphabets?
Also, is there any way to reduce the length of the parameter textbox. Can you please help?
I have a Full Text query that works fine when structured as follows: SELECT First_Name, Middle_Name, Last_Name, Hire_Date, City, Department, Phone_Ext, title, Fax, Secretary_Name, Attorney_Name, Secy_Ext, Home_Phone, Desk_Location, Law_School, Undergraduate_School, Languages, E_mail, CMS_ID, WEB_ID, Notary FROM dbo.PhotoDir WHERE CONTAINS (*, 'Jones') ORDER BY Last_Name, First_Name
However, I would like to replace "Jones" with a parameter, @LName for example. However, I can't figure out the syntax. I tried the following: WHERE CONTAINS (*, @LName) but received the following error: The @LName SQL construct or statement is not supported. Is there a way to put a parameter in this type of query? Thanks in advance.
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"
Hi,Could you inform me programmatically how can I pass LinkButton text value as Sql Query parameter?I tried the 1 command.CommandText = "SELECT DISTINCT [Description] FROM [Projects] WHERE ([Type] = " & SqlDbType.Text = LinkButton12.Text & ")" but it does not work!!! Thanks in advance!!!!
I have an issue trying to pass a search text parameter to FREETEXTTABLE via Dataset. The following code works fine if you hardcode the search word/text as shown: SELECT KEY_TBL.RANK, FT_TBL.FaqQuestion, FT_TBL.FaqAnswer, FT_TBL.SearchFROM faq_table AS FT_TBL INNER JOIN FREETEXTTABLE(faq_table, Search, 'cool') AS KEY_TBL ON FT_TBL.FaqID = KEY_TBL.[KEY]ORDER BY KEY_TBL.RANK DESC Now, I want to do this: SELECT KEY_TBL.RANK, FT_TBL.FaqQuestion, FT_TBL.FaqAnswer, FT_TBL.SearchFROM faq_table AS FT_TBL INNER JOIN FREETEXTTABLE(faq_table, Search, @Search) AS KEY_TBL ON FT_TBL.FaqID = KEY_TBL.[KEY]ORDER BY KEY_TBL.RANK DESC The error I'm getting is @Search is not declared. How am I suppose to pass in a value? I have searched almost everywhere and nobody seemed to ask this precise question. I'm sure this is a huge problem. Can anyone help me please?
Hello, I'm learning about asp .net and I've created a simple application with SQLServer integration. I have 3 text boxes where I can insert text and then use them as parameters for the Select query string of a SqlDataSource which is then bound to a DataGrid.My question is: Is there any default configuration I can use with the SqlDataSource which do not add a given field as a parameter to the WHERE clause if the text box content is empty ? Sure I can sweep through all my text boxes, check if they're empty and dynamically build the WHERE clause with correct parameters, but is theres a built-in, more elegant way to solve this ?Thanks in advance.Arashikage
Hi,I run a stored procedure with a parameter given from a text box in an accessadp. If the text box is empty then what is passed to the parameter? I can'tseem to get it to flag up as either null, or 0 length.Any tips?Cheers,Chris
Hello, I was wondering if you could help resolve a simple question - namely how to input a type text value as a parameter to a stored procedure, which expects that type of input.
Text type variables are not allowed and casting to varchar in this case will not work as the input will be far longer than 8000 characters.
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>
I've developed a data driven subscription report. I have a paramete (named "Data") that is a result of my query to the current date. It is working fine.
Now I would like to make one change: In the step4 of the creation of the data-driven report we have the option to give a name to the filename.The name that I gave was TestFile. In this option i'm also able to select the parameter instead of giving the name to the filename. Can I make something like TestFile_ & @Data? Wich would result in TestFile_01-02-2007? Or the only way is to make, in the query of the paramenter another field with this result?
store procedure @End_Date datetime SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE PROCESS_DATE <= @End_Date @End_Date format： 1/1/2008 PROCESS_DATE format: 1/1/2008 12:45:01 PM I can not get the date after running the procedure using the value/format above. I think the problem is that SQL convert @End_Date value to 1/1/2008 00:00:00:AM, which makes 1/1/2008 12:45:01 PM > 1/1/2008 Since I only need to compare the date (no need time), how can I resolve the problem from the C# code or SQL level? Is that possbile to make 1/1/2008 default to the max datetime like 1/1/2008 11:59:59:PM?
My boss would like to see on our report a code that would pull the date 01-01-2008 to the present. They want to be able to run this report whenever they wanted to. What is the best way to create this code.
Could I just use my field, which is "clm_dout" to say Clm_dout >= or is there another type of code I should use?
