Hello,
I am attempting to create an expression for a package variable in a SQL Server Integration Services project, but the elipse button in the expression property for the variable does not appear (Visual Studio 2005). I've tried two different screen resolutions, no luck.
Why would the elipse not be there? Is there a keystroke I can use to open the exrpression builder?
Thank you for your help!

We've installed SQLServer 2005 and are trying to use Report
Builder. But we only see the Report Builder button if we're
currently logged onto the machine that's running RS.
My understanding is that anybody with a role of Content Manager should
be able to see this, but nothing we do with the role assignments seems
to help.
We've installed on XP and Win2003 machines and this behavior is consistent.
Any ideas?
TIA,
Jim
For users who are not admins on the IIS server the report builder button just doesn't appear. Any idea on why this would be???

I start Reporting Services Configuration Manager, connect to my report server instance, click on Report Manager URL and get my SQL Server Reporting Services Home page.

I now have an chance to get back into it and when I am at the SSRS Home page and click the button to start "Report Builder I get the yellow bar at the bottom of the page like I'm trying to open a file. It says: "Do you Want to open or save ReportBuilder_3_0_0_0_0.appliation(15.2 KB) from caholoweckyw7" and then the Open, Save and Cancel buttons.

am trying to do the following in SSIS.
I have Execute Process Task, in which I have the values are set for Executable, Arguments and working Directory manually. I keep changing this if the Connection Manager points to Dev or when it points to QA or to Prod. Instead I want to do like this.
If my Connection Manager points to Dev, the Executale , Arguments and Working Directory should automatically change. Else if it points to QA, the Executale , Arguments and Working Directory should automatically change and similarly for Prod.
Is this possible in Expression Builder in Execute Process Task. If so, how?.
Thank you
I ran in to a strange problem in Report Builder. I drop a few fields from my Report Model on a simple talbe report. Some of them are straight forwards attributes and some of them are expressions.
Now in the table layout of a report I have say a attribute named as "Account Number". This attribute is actually a field from a table. I change the column header to a two line column header with ��Account�? on one line and ��Number�? on second line. No problem, piece of cake.
Now tried the same thing on an expression type attribute, say "Principal Balance". When I split the column header on two line I get this following error.
==============================================================
Semantic query compilation failed: e MeasureNotFound One of the SubtotalMeasures.MeasureName properties of the SemanticQuery refers to the Measure Expression 'Principal
Balance', which does not exist. (SemanticQuery '').
----------------------------
An error has occurred during report processing.
==============================================================
If you read the error you will realize that the query is trying to find an expression named "Principal" (newline char) "Balance" and it fails.
This expression is nothing but a sum aggregation on a field in the underlying table. If I put the "Principal Balance" back on one line report runs like a charm. Also note that exact same report in Designer no issues at all.
FYI: I am in SQL Server 2005 with SP2. (tried it both on Standard and Enterprise versions.)
Nobody answered my previous question. So, I am putting it this way.
How to write an IF condition in Expression builder. I want to do something like this.
IF (variable1='ABC' then

else variable1='GHI' then

END
Thank you.
Hi all of you,
When you're making expressions with your own variables and system variables and so on. How could I see the contents for each variable?
When you have an expression like this:
"Cargas de Hacienda. " + SUBSTRING( @[System:ackageName], 7,20) + " "
You can perfectly click above "Evaluated value" and see the resutl but I mean, individually over each variable on the variables listview is not possible.
Thanks for any input or advice,
Enric
I can't figure this one out. I don't have enough knowledge of the string functions I guess.
I need to pull a value out of a variable I setup in a for each loop. The value is the filename/path of each source file being processed. Let's say the variable that has the source file path is called VAR1.
One sort of off topic thing I've noticed is when watch the variable in bebug mode and I look at the value of VAR1 it has double back slashes. Here's an example of the value of VAR1:
"\\L3KRZR6.na.xerox.net\C$\Documents and Settings\ca051731\Desktop\Project4\DPT_20070926.ver"
How come the back slashes have been doubled? And do I need to account for that when I start parsing the string value?
Anyway, I need to grab part of the filename from VAR1 and I need the value populated at the start of the for each loop container - ideally when I capture VAR1 in the for each container. I'll be using the string in drop table, create table and create index statements before the actual Data Flow task within the overall package
In the above example I need to grab the characters before the underscore and after the last \. So I'd need the string "DPT" captured in this example.
The actual string could be 1 to 3 characters long, even though this example has it as 3 long.
Underscores could exist anywhere in the actual UNC path once this package is moved to our actual system environments so I can't key off of the underscore.
Because I can't count on the string being a fixed lenght I can't just use a positional string function and grab specific text starting/ending at specific points.
Is there a way to use the various string functions in the expression builder to grab the text between the right most underscore and the right most back slashes or something like that? Ideally I'd like to setup a new expression based packed scope variable called VAR2 and build it using string functions applied to VAR1.
Anyone know the reaon the Left function was left out of the list of string functions in the Expression Builder?

This works:
len ((DT_WSTR,2)DATEPART("mm", getdate()))==1 ? (DT_WSTR,1)0 + (DT_WSTR,1)DATEPART("mm", getdate()) : (DT_WSTR,4)DATEPART("mm", getdate())
This doesn't:
"dataware/"+ len ((DT_WSTR,2)DATEPART("mm", getdate()))==1 ? (DT_WSTR,1)0 + (DT_WSTR,1)DATEPART("mm", getdate()) : (DT_WSTR,4)DATEPART("mm", getdate())
I tried a couple of different things at this point, where am I missing the cast? Before len? Cast to what?
I would like to add additional string functions and other types of functions to the expression builder in SQL Server Integration Services. Right now the list of functions is relatively limited to such things as FINDSTRING, RIGHT, LEN, etc.
Is this possible?

Hello,
I am using the following expression to access a daily file.
"D:\importdata\peregrinedata\ACD_DATA_" + (DT_WSTR, 4) YEAR( GETDATE() ) + (DT_WSTR, 2)MONTH( GETDATE() ) + (DT_WSTR, 2) DAY( GETDATE() ) + ".txt"
output: D:importdataperegrinedataACD_DATA_2008123.txt
I need to have this file by current day -1. I've tried dateadd and can't figure out how to get it to work.
Thanks
I have a co-worker who applied build 3161 to SQL Server 2005. The original problem was that the print preview was showing up as black.This is a documented issue with Microsoft here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935436
Now, when she goes into expression builder, the foreground AND background color for what you type in there appears to be white... so everything shows up as invisible. You can highlight the text you type and it shows up but otherwise it is obviously invisible.
Anyone know how to fix this?
I can see report builder in IE (I am report admin), but my users are not able to, despite having ticked 'report builder' against their name in folder security.
They have
Browser, Report Builder
Why can't they see it?
"Site Settings - Security - Config sys wide role defs - sys user " has "execute report defs" ticked.
Anyone, hmm?
Has anyone encountered this before?
My colleague opens up an SSIS package with variables, many of which use expressions built with the Expression Builder. She cannot bring up the Expression Builder by clicking the ellipsis (...) in the "Expression" Property of the Property Window, regardless of whether "EvaluateAsExpression" is set to True or False.
I can open up this same package and use the Expression Builder just fine. Any ideas?
Apologies if this has been answered already, I did many searches to try to find the solution before posting here.
Thanks much!

Having trouble casting GETDATE() to a string value (DT_STR) using expression builder? I want to concatenate the current date to some text used in a send mail task.
View 5 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have implemented a custom source component that can be used as the data source in the Data Flow task.
I have also created a custom UI for this component by using the IDtsComponentUI .
But my component does not have the capability of setting the custom properties via the DTS Variables using the Expression Builder.
I have looked around for samples on how to do this, but I can only find samples of how to do this for custom Control Tasks, i.e. IDtsTaskUI.
My question is, How can implement the Expression Builder in my custom Source component + custom Source UI. Or do you know of any samples which I can look at.
Thank you,
Jameel.
How do you write an expression in report builder to only display the results that start with a certain string value..eg. Project Number - CUP1501, DPR1502, ENG1507 etc. These values will all get returned but I only want the Project Number that has CUP and DPR in it?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,
I wonder if there a function that i can use in the expression builder that return a value (e.g o) if the input value is null ( Like ifnull(colum1,0) )
i hope to have the answer because i need it so much.

I have created 1 report with 2 datasets. This report is attached to the 1st dataset.For example,1st one is "Smallappliances", 2nd is "Largeappliances".
I created a tablix and, the 1st column extracts Total sales per Sales person between 2 dates from 1st dataset (Small appliances). I used running values expression and it works fine.
Now, I would like to add another column that extracts Total sales per sales person between 2 dates from 2nd dataset (Large appliances). I am aware that I need to use Lookup expression and it is giving me the single sales value rather than the total sales values. So, I wanted to use RunningValue expression within lookup table to get total sales for large appliances.
This is the lookup expression that I added for the 2nd column.
=Lookup(Fields!salesperson.Value,Fields!sales_person.Value,RunningValue(Fields!sales_amount.Value,
sum, " sales_person"),
"Largeappliances").
I get this error when I preview the report.An error occurred during local report processing.The definition of the report is invalid.An unexpected error occurred in report processing.
(processing): (SortExpression ++ m_context.ExpressionType)
Hi,
When i select datasource in Report Builder, i am able to see all the available DataSources.
Eg: I have selected one datasource from the list and which has 3 tables(table1, table2, table3) associated to that datasource.
when i drag and drop table1 fields to report, i am not able to see the other 2 tables(table2 & table3)
Is there any property or relationship do i need to maintain?
Thanks,
SR.
Hey Guys,
I'm not sure if anyone can help me with this but I am trying to achieve the following:
I have a row (In this case it is information on a fix) and on a button click I am trying to get it to "archive" it. At the moment I have it so that it it takes the current information and adds it to the archive table adding an archive date. The thing that I am struggling with is incrementing the version number. So, I need it to (in these steps I think) - Look for existance of the other entires of that ID, look for the version number that is related to the newest date of those knowledgeIDs and then add 1 to it. If that knowledgeID doesnt exist then add it as one.
My current code is below:

I need to make a query to a SQLserver db passing values from a dropdownlist and two text boxes as my criteria. Now if nothing is selected and the button is pressed, I would like to return everything that is part of my Select statement. I am having trouble making my sql statement work.
Im sending you my code as an attachment. I've put * around the area i really need help with.
Even if you could just point me in the right direction as to where to look for a good web forms book using VB.NET and ASP.NET I would really appreciate it.
Thanks,

Hello.
When I'm useing a report in reportViewer I have a "back button" in the the viewer which let me go back to my parent report after jumping to another report.
I wanted to make a bigger button like that on the report so I tried to simulate it by creating my own textback and use a javascript to go back one page.
This doesn't work since the javascript doesn't work as well as the built in bottun.
Is there a way to simulate this button any way?
Thanks.

Hi everyone, Im using SSRS 2000 and I was wondering is there a way to create a click button??? I have 2 reports linked with hyperlinks but I wanted to make it look more presentable. So, instead of just clicking on the words, I want them to click the button.
Thanks in advance,

SQL SERVER Reporting Services 2000

Hi,
I have one report,in my report i need to display parameters like this:
one radio button :Age and another radio button is Age Ranges
For the Age,I have to dispaly like two text boxes named 'From' and 'To'
For the Age Ranges,I have to display one drop down list contains values :20s,30s ..
In Reporting Services,Putting the Radio button is not possible,i think,If possible how to achive this.
Other workaround is i think Multivalued parameter which displays the Age and Age ranges
When we click on Age we need to display 2 textboxes
When we select Age Ranges we have to display Drop down list
If we select both :both 2 text boxes and drop down list.
Putting multi valued parameters for this requirement is not good and this is not the multi valued parameter concept.Please clarify me whether iam correct or not.
Thanks in advance
I have a web application with a stand alone report. When I put the ReportViewer in the webform I can see every reports in the project. The problem is that I can't see the print report button...
If I indicate that the report is a "Server Report" instead a local report the Print Report appear, but a need a "Local Report" not a "Server Report" How can i solve that.
Thank you.
