What Does A Filter Do In Report Model
Jan 24, 2007In a Model designer when you select and Entity you have list of Attributes on the right side. There you have the option to add new "Folder", "Source Field", "Expression", "Role" and "Filter".
Can anyone explain in a bit detail what this filter can be used for. Can it be used to filter data from underlying entity? (I am not looking for SecurityFilter)
I am working on Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.3027.00
Thanks,

Data Filter With Report Model
Sep 24, 2007
I am trying to applying an data filter that will filter out user based on userid
Three tables:
tblPerson (fact table): contains over 1 million records with about 20 fields. One of the fields is called BureauID (int). BureauID indicates what Bureau the person works in for an given record.
tblBureau (attribute table) which has a FK relationship to tblPerson) contains the following fields:
BureauID int - this is the linked field to tbl person
Bureau Code varchar
Bureau ShortName varchar
The reason we use tblBureau as in attribute table instead of place the bureau code and short name directly into table Person is so that we index tbl person quickly with "ints".
tblDataAccess, which has two fields loginID with bureau Code. The bureau code in this table tells me what bureau that userid has access to.
How do i get the report model to filter based on this userid????. I know i have to add some data filters but i am not sure where.
I put an filter on DataAccess so that login = getuserid().
But what do i do to table person or table bureau, so that a person can only see the people in there bureau.
Thanks for you help

Report Builder - Data Model Filter
Oct 18, 2007I have built a data model in visual studio that I am using with report builder in reporting services. The data model is using data from a view in SQL Server 2005. I am trying to apply a filter to the data model to restrict the data available in report builder. I know that I could change the code for the view and filter that data that way, but I would rather creates two models each one producing differnt sets of filtered data. I have tried adding a filter to the data model, but it does not seem to work. Do anyone have any suggestions?
View 3 Replies View RelatedReport Model Not Allowing Users To Filter Using A Pick List
Jan 9, 2008I have a MSSQL Report Services Report Model set up to allow users to create their own ad hoc reports. The data source for my model is a Named Query that queries a MS SQL view that actually pulls data from a series of tables & other views. When you create a report from this model and attempt to filter the data some of the fileds will provide you with a pick list to select which values you would like to filter on and other fields do not provide you with a pick list but require you to enter the data directly that you wish to filter on. Most of the data fields that I am trying to filter on are varchar fields and like I said some will create a pick list for you to selet from and others will not. This all seemed to start after I changed my data source to a Named Query rather than having my data source as the MS SQL View directly. I did this becuase it seemed that anytime I had to make a change to the views that the data source pulled from it would mess up any existing reports that had been created and this does not happen if I use a named query. I have gone crazy trying to figure this one out so any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
In A Data Model, How Do I Filter Rows Based On The Identify Of The User???
Jun 21, 2005Good morning,
View 7 Replies View RelatedAutomatic Select Filter (something Like Global Table Filter)
Apr 15, 2008Hello,
Here is my problem:
I use SQL Server 2005. I have approx. 50 tables in my database and 30 of them have a filed named "CompanyID". Example:
create table A (ID int identity, NAME varchar(100), COMPANYID int)create table A (ID int identity, REF_ID int, FIELD1 varchar(100), FIELD2 varchar(100), COMPANYID int)
Also there are nearly 200 stored procedures that read data from these tables. Example:
create procedure ABCasbegin /* some checks and expressions here ... */ select ... from A inner join B on (A.ID = B.REF_ID) where ... /* ... */end;
All my queries in the Stored procedure does not filter the tables by CompanyID, so they process the entire data.
However, now we have a requirement to separate the data for each company. That means that we have to put a filter by CompanyID to each of those 20 tables in each query where the tables appear.
Firstly, I put the CompanyID in the context so now its value is accessible through the context_info() function. Thus I do not need now to pass it as a parameter to the stored procedures.
However, I don't know what is the easiest and fastest way to filter the tables. Example:
I modified the above mentioned procedure in the following way:
create procedure ABCasbegin /* some checks and expressions here ... */
-- gets the CompanyID from the context: DECLARE @CompanyID int; SELECT @CompanyID = CONVERT(float, CONVERT(varchar(128), context_info()))
select ... from A inner join B on (A.ID = B.REF_ID) where ...
and A.COMPANYID = @CompanyID and B.COMPANYID = @CompanyID /* ... */end;
Now I have the desired filter by CompanyID. However, modifying over 200 stored procedures is rather tedious work and I don't think that this is the best approach. Is there any functionality in SQL Server that can provide the possibility to put an automatic filter to the tables.
For example: when I wrote "SELECT * FROM A", the actual statements to be executed would be "SELECT * FROM A WHERE CompanyID = CONVERT(float, CONVERT(varchar(128), context_info()))".
I was looking for something like "INSTEAD OF SELECT" triggers but I didn't manage to find any answer.
I would very grateful is someone suggests a solution for something like "global table filter" (that will help me make an easy refactoring)?
Thanks in advance.

SSRS -- Security Filter And Model Item Security Setting
Jul 31, 2007
Hi,
I have posted this issue for a week, haven't got any reply yet, I posted it again and desperately need your help.
The article http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms365343.aspx says:
Model Item Security can be set for differnt security filters, but when I use SQL Server Management Studio to set Model Item Security, it seems "Permissions" property surpass "Model Item Security" property. -- My report server is using Custom Authentication.
For example, in "Permissions" property of the model, if I checked "Use these roles for each group or user account" without setting any user or group, no matter what users I added to "Model Item Security" with "Secure individual model items independently for this model" checked, NO one user can see the model on report manager and report builder;
in above situation, if I added "user1" and gave role such as "Browser" role to "user1" in "Permissions" property, if I checked "Secure individual model items independently for this model" in "Model Item Security" property, even I did NOT grant "user1" to root model and any entities under the model, the "user1" is able to access the model and all entities in report builder.
My question is on the same report model, how to set "AdminFilter" (empty security filter) for administrator permissions and set "GeneralFilter" (filtered on UserID) for general user based on their UserID?
The article also says:
"Security filters are always applied, even for users who have Content Manager or Administrator permissions to the model. To allow administrators or other users to see all rows of an entity on which row-level security is defined, you can create an empty security filter (which always returns True) and then use the filter to grant those users access to all the rows."
So I defined 2 filters "GeneralFilter" and "AdminFilter" for "Staff" entity for my report model "SSRSModel", I expect after I deployed the report model, the administrator users use report builder to build reports with all rows available, and the non-admin users can only see rows based on their UserID.
I can only get one result at a time but not both:
either the rows are filtered or not filtered at all, no matter how I set the "SecurityFilter" for the entity: I tried setting both "AdminFilter" and "GeneralFilter" for SecurityFilter at the same time, combination of "DefaultSecurityFilter" and "SecurityFilter", or one at a time.
Your help is highly appreciated!

Filter In Table Syntax
Sep 21, 2006
I have several reports where I am trying to use a single sp, and filter some of the paramater selections in reporting services.
I can get a single item to work in the filters
ie: state.value = SC
but i have not been able to get a multivalue scenario to work.
ie: State.value in SC,GA,TN
or State.value in ('SC','GA','TN')
or State.value in ("SC","GA","TN")
or State.value in 'SC','GA','TN'
or State.value in "SC","GA","TN"
I am guessing it is a simple syntax thing, but well obviously I havent found it.
Any help would be appreciated

How Do I Get My Table Filter To Work?
Mar 26, 2008
Some tables i have in a report. A couple of them work, but 2 others dont. I would do it in the query, but then i wouldnt be able to group them in a list.
So my question is, how come i can filter out my BillcustomerCode, but when i want to filter out my subbrand_id (which is an int) or subbran_ Descrition(which is a varchar). how would i filter out these types in the table filter.
Also, how would i do an "Or" instead of an "and" in my filter too.
I have one table where i need to have 3 things not in the table:
Bill_Cus_code !=RNPROF
Bill_Cus_code !=RNPROC
Sub_Brand_Id ! =65 (or Sub_Brand_Discription != "Pro Club")
how do i do this in the expression. It seems to take out "RNPROF and RNPROC" but not the third one. Why is this?

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Filter Records In Table?
Mar 6, 2014I have a table that has multiple records as illustrated in the simple list below. The real list is much longer.
MachineA 1/1/2008
MachineA 1/3/2008
MachineB 1/7/2008
MachineB 1/8/2009
MachineB 5/5/2010
MachineA 5/7/2011

I need to query to return a result for each unique machine with the latest date. The example result below would be returned because they have the latest date.
MachineA 5/7/2011

Select Distinct would almost do it, but I need each unique machine that has the latest date.
Table Filter Operation Optimization
Aug 27, 2007Table filter operation where I want to filter against any combination from any of the available fields:
table a(f1 int, f2 int)
2 indexes - first by field f1, second by field f2
data - many records like (f1=1, f2=2), and many records like (f1=3, f2=4)
sql: select * from a where f1=1 and f2=4
result will be - no records, but full table scan is required, indexes are not used
question - how to optimize above structure, but do not create compound index by (f1, f2)?
if we will have many fields (lets say 10), which can be used in filter in any combination we will need to create 10! Indexes. Any way to avoid or optimize it for a high volume searches?

SSRS Table Report Filter Problem
Mar 15, 2007I am using VS 2005/SQL 2005 and must use a stored procedure as provided. The stored procedure returns parent rows and child rows (same as parent with additional columns populated, like ChildID). I cannot change the stored procedure.
I have been unable to filter the data (either at the Dataset level or the Table Properties level) to only see the "parent" rows. On my report, I added one column to print the value for my test and a second to use it:
=Trim(CStr(Len(Fields!ChiIdID.Value)))
=IIf(Trim(CStr(Len(Fields!ChildId.Value)) = "0"),"PARENT","CHILD")
Both columns produce the values I expect. However, if I try a filter using the first expression, it fails! I.E. if I test = 0, it filters out ALL rows and if I test != 0, all rows are displayed?????
I am new to SSRS, so I would not be surprised if this is cockpit error. It seemed like a very simple requirement that I have used in othe report tools for years.
Any help would be appreciated.
And/or Filter Field Not Enabled In The Group Filter Tab
Jan 26, 2006Howdy,
I have a table that has a group. In this group, I want to filter by 2 different expressions, concatenated with an OR. BUT I can't change the "And/Or" column value for the first entry because it is grayed out. The column will automatically change to an OR value if both my expression column fields are the same (which I don€™t want) but if I put any other value in to the expression field of the second row, the "And/Or" field of the first row automatically changes to an AND.
PLEASE! How do I get the And/Or field "ungrayed" so I can change it to what I want?
The 2 filters I and using check the UserID = to the user, and the other is checking a count to get the Top N 1. (So just showing the current user and the top producer)

One option is to column the descriptions, but that is not very elegantly. I was thinking of using bridge tables to model this but you have to always select a language in a filter (I think)..
I'm thinking of a technical solution, such that when a user logs on, the language is determined and a view determines whether to pick a certain product table specific for a certain language. But then I don't have the opportunity to interchange the different language specific fields in a report (or in my case PowerPivot).
Can We Pause Log Shipping, Bring Primary Db To Simple Recovery Model And Then Back To Full R Model?

We have the following scenario,
We have our Production server having database on which Few DTS packages execute every night. Most of them have Bulk Insert stored procedures running.
SO we have to set Recovery Model of the database to simple for that period of time, otherwise it will blow up our logs.
Is there any way we can set up log shipping between our production and standby server, but pause it for some time, set recovery model of primary db to simple, execute DTS Bulk Insert Jobs, Bring it Back to Full recovery Model AND finally bring back Log SHipping.
It it possible, if yes how can we achieve this.
If not what could be another DR solution in this scenario.

Jan 3, 2008Hi
I hope you can help as I am really scratching my head on this one. I am pulling together an assessment of the Disaster Recovery readiness for an organisation I am working at. Part of the assessment I am doing is the recovery model of each of the databases.
I have scripts that are already pulling lots of data from 40+ servers and 500+ databases. However, I cannot seem to find anywhere within the MASTER or MSDB or the database itself where the Recovery Model flag is held. Obviously I can right click on the database and click properties and it is there, but I need to automate this task (as it will probably be a weekly assessment).
I have checked sysdatabases and almost every other table, but nothing obvious as to where this flag is.

E.G
I have a Table called Posts, which has a Hospital ID which is an FK to the Hospitals table. A relationship exists between the two in my Data Source View, however I cannot access the Hospital Name (stored in the Hospital table) using the report builder.

SQL Server 2008 :: MERGE Statement - Cannot Filter Set Of Rows In Target Table
Feb 10, 2015I have a table:
declare tableName table
(
uniqueid int identity(1,1),
id int,
starttime datetime2(0),
endtime datetime2(0),
parameter int
)
A stored procedure has new set of values for a given id. Sometimes the startime and endtime are the same, in which case I update the value of parameter. Sometimes I add a new time range (insert statement), and sometimes I delete a time range (delete statement).
I had a question on merge, with insert, delete and update and I got that resolved. However I have a different question regarding performance of the merge statement.
If my target table has hundreds of millions of records and I want to delete/update/insert a handful of records, will SQL server scan the entire target table? I can't have:
merge ( select * from tableName where id = 10 ) as target
using ...
and I can't have:
merge tableName as target
using [my query] as source on
source.id = target.id and
source.starttime = target.startime and
source.endtime = target.endtime
where target.id = 10
...
This means I cannot filter the set of rows in the target table to a handful of records where id = 10.
