I'm somewhat new to SSRS. I'm working on a report that needs to show the average transaction $. I tried an expression with AVG, but this is based on the total dollars (orders) divided by the number of orders. That worked, but what I need to have is the total net dollars (orders less returns) divided by the number of orders (not including returns).
I've tried a subquery, and expressions based on the totals shown on the report (that didn't work, I either get an error and it doesn't run, or it says "error" on the report.
The View (joins of six tables, two of which are union joins of the order and return detail lines and of the headers) upon which this is based has detail lines for each order, that need to be aggregated. The returns are distinguished from the orders by negative quantities and order number prefixes.
Is it possible to even do this? If so, please give detailed steps.

Directly using C:sql_working_directoryMLSAZPhoenixDocsArmls_Schema Updated 020107.xls as connectionString works
However - I'm trying to deploy the package - and trying to use expression: @[User::DIR_WORKING] + "\Docs\Armls_Schema Updated 020107.xls" which causes the same error to occur

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.
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.
well I have this code. I connect to database and submit data. now i dont know which expression to use to validate if data is submited redirect to next level else show some error. protected void Button1_Click1(object sender, EventArgs e) { SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(@"somecode"); SqlCommand comm = new SqlCommand(); comm.Connection = con; comm.CommandText = "insertuser"; comm.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;some code... comm.Connection.Open(); comm.ExecuteNonQuery(); con.Close(); } i dont wanna validate the fields as i can do it using field validator i wanna check if data is inserted in database.
When I try and create this procedure, I get the error below

SET @ReturnVal = (SELECT TOP 100 percent searchType, COUNT(searchtype) AS SearchCount FROM ttracksearchresults WHERE userid=@UserID GROUP BY searchtype ORDER BY searchtype)
GO

I need a statement like:UPDATE tblQuestions SET QuestionNumber = QuestionNumber +1 WHERE QuestionNumber >=10 AND TestID = 1 AND SectionNumber = 1 (Required output is clear from statement itself)
I tried with UPDATE tblQuestions SET QuestionNumber = EVAL(QuestionNumber +1) WHERE QuestionNumber >=10 AND TestID = 1 AND SectionNumber = 1 and UPDATE tblQuestions SET QuestionNumber = (QuestionNumber +1) WHERE QuestionNumber >=10 AND TestID = 1 AND SectionNumber = 1
I've just started working with SQL. Please suggest correct approach.
I have the following code in the expression builder for a ExecuteSQL Task in the Control Flow. "INSERT dbo.StgFileList SELECT ' " + @[User::MyFile] + " ' "
When I evaluate it, it renders as INSERT Staging.StgXMLFileList SELECT ' '
Is it possible to nest expressions within a script in a similar fashion to how they're nested within the expression editor?
I have a requirement to strip trailing digits from a string field, so that only two decimal places are left.
e.g. 1.12345 becomes 1.12 12345.6789 becomes 12345.67
I would do this in the expression editor but I need to use Script component because there are a multitude of conditions that need to be evaluated first which I will do inside a Select Case statement.
Hi, In ssis I would like to map a column from table a to a column in table b Currently this is how I am doing it using sql. I believe I have to use a derived column but not sure how to implement if statement inside it. Thanks
case
when len([Column 5]) = 0 then ''
when lower([Column 5]) = 'unknown' then ''
when isdate([Column 5]) = 1 then substring(ltrim([Column 5]), 1, 4) + substring(ltrim([Column 5]), 6, 2) + substring(ltrim([Column 5]), 9, 2)
The Value expression for the textbox €˜Name€™ uses an aggregate expression without a scope. A scope is required for all aggregates used outside of a data region unless the report contains exactly one data set....what does this mean...this an error that I have when i try and build my report i get this error for some reason...how do i fix this???
Hi, Is it possible to search in columns with a number datatype (I'm using an MS SQL database with bigint columns) with the ICriterion Expression.Like? Normally the Expression.Like is used for varchar columns. However, if there's a bigint column with the value 167829 I want to search for example on %678%. Cheers, koekie
Hello,In VB/VB.NET, I can use an expression as such to evaluate true/false:Dim blnValue As Boolean = (SomeObject.Property = "Some value")Can I do this in T-SQL?declare @var bitset @var = ?Thanks.
Hello, I need to create a table where a column's data should have a hypen inserted after the second character. The table will accept a large input of rows, so I think it would be better to use a SQL expression or formula on the column to provide the hyphen on insert rather than doing an update statement later. There is no way of knowing how many characters will follow the hyphen. So for example... 888888 would become 88-8888 or 5555555555555555 would become 55-55555555555555 Any help would be great!
I have a table in which one of the column name is "NAME". I have to write query in which column is not null and if there is something then check for 'trust' or 'trustee' in the string. and if found don't pull that record. skip it
HiI'm looking to return rows from a table where a column is LIKE a keyword. This is my current code:SELECT DISTINCT business_name FROM Table WHERE business_name LIKE @keyword + '%' ORDER BY business_name ASCThe problem with this is that if a business is called "The White Ship Inn", and the keyword to match is "White Ship" it will not match. If i put another wild card in front of @keyword then this finds too many matches - i need it to match against columns which either start with the keyword, or have a whitespace in front of them. Is there some kind of T-Sql i can use or will i have to go down the regex route (using this (http://www.codeproject.com/KB/mcpp/xpregex.aspx)) ?cheers
Does SqlServer support Regular expression? I want to know if it's avilable or not... And if it's not available, I want to know any other efficient way to validate string.. manipulating Regular expression style validation.
I have an expression based upon 2 fields in a view that I want to be able to divide and then multiply by a number. Whenever I do the division portion of the calculation all I get are 0 & 1's. I was hoping to use the percentage in other calculations. Is there something similar to FORMAT(X/Y,0.00)?
(vwLbrPosSum.PosMin/vwMinByEmp.TotMin) x (a)vwLbrPosSum.PosMin or (b) 2400 or (c)vwMinbyEmp.TotMin - 2400 If the person worked more than 40 hrs I could allocate the OTMins to the different positions in labor reporting.

HiI have some data that need to be filtered based on a SET of Id's.If it's about a single ID, then i would pass it as a parameter in astored procedure and use it within the the WHERE Clause, but here thoseID's are determined in run time and I can't simply create a a storedprocedure for an unknown amount of ID's.I looked into the SQL Server 8.0 Manual but had no examples how to usethe Function Filter.Generaly, how can filter some records based on a set of ID's?Best regards
I need to remove all the [ and ] in every sql stmt where they are usedto close encircling numeric value, fyi, all these sql stmt areconverted from an Access db. For instance,select *from XYZtblwhere fieldA = [1] or fieldA = [2] or fieldA = [3]to beselect *from XYZtblwhere fieldA = 1 or fieldA = 2 or fieldA = 3-- and of course I'd have written in as follows, but that's not-- the pointselect *from XYZtblwhere fieldA IN (1,2,3)Thanks.

Does anyone know if there is a Tutorial That I can Use, that would explain me how to use an Expression in a SQL Task, as I need to create a Table by using a T-SQL Script and pass the Table name into the Variable and cannot come right using Variables.
I have been given advice that an expression would solve my problem.

Hi - Can anyone tell me what the first day of the week (i.e. equal to 1) for the DATEPART("dw",<date>) expression in SSIS. Or can I specify the first day of the week somehow?
It looks like Monday=1 which seems a little odd as the equivilent T-SQL DATEPART has Sunday=1.
