Formatting Calculated Fields In Report
Jun 7, 2001
I have a problem.... I have a TSQL procedure that calculates employee overtime based upon days 1-5 of week being "in-week", and days 6-7 oweek being week-end overtime. The resulting data is then mailed to dept managers. My problem: for some reason the calculated colums are being generated at a width of 40 char per column. I somehow need to reduce the width to 8-10 characters per colum (this will eliminate the wraping that I currently get in my e-mails)... Any help would be appreciated... Thanks..Tom

I'm supposed to create a report like shown below.
Credit Tier
Jan-07
Feb-07
Mar-07
AA
0.00%
0.00%
0.00%
A
0.00%
0.00%
0.00%
B
0.00%
0.00%
0.00%
C
0.00%
0.00%
0.00%
Time columns go up to Dec 07. But I did not show all the columns.
The values are calculated as follows.
Field value for Jan07 = (No of Loans pass due in Jan07 / Total No of loans disbursed in Jan07)
Repayment due date is 5th of every month. if smbody does not pay on 5th, its considedred as pass due.
Source data tables look like this.
LoanTable(Disbursed date, userID, Amount, Status)
CreditTier table (Credit Tier, Rate) - Seems like no relationship with Loan table
we can identify pass due loans from status field in loan table. Status appears as 'Deliquency'.
Please Can any one help me to create this report?

I have a "report" that is more like a form with a great many fields on it that are not arranged like columns. The data is displayed in text boxes. My problem is that the "fields" or text boxes do not always form a nice single line where they connect - at least in the displayed format (HTML4.0), but actually do in printed format. It looks like the fields/textboxes may have a varying width, and possibly height.
Is there any way to make sure that the width and height are static?
Thanks,
Menno Homburg

Hi people
My users are having troubles with link to default drillthrough report when reports are exported to excel (they REALLY don't like this behavior ), so I decided set all of them disabled in report model, this work fine, but calculated field in reports has this drillthrough link.
Let me show you the situation. Entity Product has an UnitaryCost field, I set the EnableDrillthrough Property in False so when I export a report with this field, no link is shown.
But if I create in the report a calculated field Round(UnitaryCost) this field has a Drillthrough Link
Is this the standard and expected behavior? or its simply a BUG?
Have I done something wrong in my model? and in this case, How I can correct this?
regards.
Julio Diaz.

This doesn't necessarily belong in this forum, but I'm starting here in the hopes of getting some direction.
Business users have asked me to "map" a spreadsheet to our Datawarehouse. The spreadsheet contains a lot of calculations.
I created a first pass, but it was difficult to map the Analysis Services cube data to the spreadsheet data and in the process I had to hard code a lot of things that will make the spreadsheet less flexible for additional data.
So my question is, where is the best place to put calculated fields. In my SQL Statements, in ths SSIS transformations, or in the Analysis Cube?
Any help, or pointers to more information, would be greatly appreciated.

I had made some calculated fields within my data set. Later I had to change my stored procedure. When I refreshed my data set my calculated fields disappeared. Is there a way to not lose your calculated fields in a dataset when you refresh it?

Hi ,
I have created a calculated data field for one of my data set. I use it for a table in my report.
But when I try to preview it, visual studio crashes and I get the following error message.
"An error occured during local report processing. An internal error occured on the report server.see the error log for more details."
I have not installd servers on my machine(only the sql tools). So I can not see error logs either.
Does any one know why this happenes?
Thanks

Hi
This may seem amazing and a stupid question but:
Consider there is a parent table A and child table B and we want to write a query that has some fields from A and a calculated field which indicates whether A has any child record in B or not. The Value 1 means Yes and 0 means No. Has anybody an idea to write this in SQL Server?

I am trying to JOIN table on datetime column truncated to full minutes with other table, where I store time intervals (in order to have all minutes in result even when there was no event in main data table).
SELECT
dateadd(minute, datediff(minute, 0, StartTime), 0) as StartTimeMinute
,ApplicationName
,COUNT(*) as Requests
FROM dbo.Profiler as p INNER JOIN dbo.MinuteIntervals as i ON i.TIMEVALUE = p.StartTimeMinute
WHERE EventClass IN (10,12)
GROUP BY dateadd(minute, datediff(minute, 0, StartTime), 0), ApplicationName
ORDER BY StartTimeMinute
How to join on p.StartTimeMinute? I do understand why this doesn't work, as p.StartTimeMinute is calculated in my query, so JOIN cannot find it in original p table.

Hi all
I have a calculated fields in report designer such as a + b + c + d. In sql server if I run this query
select a + b + c + d from table1
and any of a,b,c or d is null, the result is null.
whereas in calculated fields, it does not return null but infact ignores the null value and treats it as zero.
I want my calculated field to be null if any of the values are null.
Is it possible? I cannot use the isNothing function because I have too many fields and it will be quite cumbersome.
Thanks

Hi everyone:
I am developing an SSRS report over a cube. When I drag and drop fields, it works fine. it runs in a few minutes. I am selectinng only from a single day - about 10,000 records. However, when I add some calculated fields it takes much longer. It's been running for 7 hours. The calculated fields fields are pretty simple. Some are selection of one field over another depending upon the value of a 3rd field. One is two fields multiplied together. One is a constant times a field. Something's obviously wrong here. Anybody seen this or have a solution?

Help!
I have converted my Access Jet database to a SQL Server database. In Access, I had many functions that I created to use in my queries. SQL Server does not allow for functions to be created. So, I had to create procedures in SQL Server to perform what my functions did.
I am trying to use the procedures I created on calculated fields within my SQL statement in my view. It returns an error stating that the procedure is not recognized.
How can I create functions to be used in my query?
Thanks.

Hi,
I have three data sets. Data Set A is bound to my table in my report. There are also Data Sets B and C. All three data sets have the identical columns. I have setup data set A so that all of its fields are "Calculated". The calculation for each field will either pick the field from data set B or data set C based upon a parameter called BorC. So the calcualted fields in data set A look like the following:
=iif(Parameters!BorC.Value, First(Fields!MyField.Value, "dataset_B"), First(Fields!MyField.Value, "dataset_C"))
Problem is when I run the report I get internal error. Is it possible to populate one data set from the fields of another data set? If so is there some trick to doing this? Stripping this example down to one column in each of the data sets, and then just directly setting data set A from either B or C still gives me the same error. SO I set the one field in data set A to the following and it still doesn't work:
=First(Fields!MyField.Value, "dataset_B")
OR
=First(Fields!MyField.Value, "dataset_C")
This leads me to believe there is some fundamental problem with using another data set in a Calculated field. Since I think I have done this before I am convinced I am doing sommething wrong.
Any advice you have for me would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

Hi
I am new to SQL Server and am migrating another database
In my original database I have a default(constant) type field and a calculated field both of which call the same user defined function: GetMyUID()
My Function GetMyUID() returns the current date, time and users initials, i.e. "20080522T09:31:15.250LSG"
When a record is first created both fields have identical values
As the record is updated over time my constant field stays constant and my calculated field reflects the time the record was last updated and the initials of that person. So my first field is called 'Created' and my second is called 'Updated'
I would have thought that something like this would be a pretty bog standard and very straightforward requirement in any database
However in SQL I am getting error messages about the return value being non deterministic
I searched the web and found advice that to sort the problem I need to use WITH SCHEMABINDING in my function definition
Unfortunately I am still getting the same 'non deterministic' error
I wonder if (in the quest to not have an overlong field) by looking up the persons initials from a 'STAFF' file rather than leaving the username in full tacked on to the end that this is causing the problem?
I can't imagine that what I am trying to achieve is rocket science but unfortunately have not been able to find any resource on the web that solves this issue for me
In desperation I turn to you
Please help (preferably by letting me have a few lines of code that return the current date/time followed by the username lookup of a Username's initials, here is a snippet of my code...
RETURN (Convert(VarChar(8),@DateTimeNow,112)+ Right(Convert(VarChar(30),@DateTimeNow,126),13)+dbo.myInitials())
Where the dbo.myInitials() calls:
RETURN (SELECT STAFF.Code from dbo.STAFF where STAFF.Login = dbo.myLogin())
and dbo.myLogin() calls
return UPPER(Right(System_User,PATINDEX('%\%',System_User)))

I'm using the SQL below to work out recruitment figures. The query works well, but I now need to build this query into a DotNet application as a webpage. I therefore need to declare and manipulate the values such as 'Total', 'Jan' to 'Dec' and 'YearRecruited' in order to write these values into my chosen data control. I therefore need to know the datatypes of these calculated values.
Total I think is straightforward as DNAScreeningID is an int datatype. But what about the others?
SELECT YEAR(SamplingDate) AS YearRecruited,
COUNT(CASE WHEN month(SamplingDate) = 1 THEN DNAScreeningID END) AS 'Jan',
COUNT(CASE WHEN month(SamplingDate) = 2 THEN DNAScreeningID END) AS 'Feb',
COUNT(CASE WHEN month(SamplingDate) = 3 THEN DNAScreeningID END) AS 'Mar',
COUNT(CASE WHEN month(SamplingDate) = 4 THEN DNAScreeningID END) AS 'Apr',
[Code] ....

Hello all,my first post here...hope it goes well. I'm currently working onstored procedure where I translated some reporting language into T-SQLThe logic:I have a group of tables containing important values for calculation.I run various sum calculations on various fields in order to retrievecost calculations ...etc.1) There is a select statement which gathers all the "records" whichneed calculations.ex: select distinct Office from Offices where OfficeDesignation ='WE' or OfficeDesignation = 'BE...etc.As a result I get a list of lets say 5 offices which need to becalculated!2) A calculation select statement is then run on a loop for each ofthe returned 5 offices (@OfficeName cursor used here!) found above.Anexample can be like this(* note that @WriteOff is a variable storing the result):"select @WriteOff = sum(linecost * (-1))From Invtrans , InventoryWhere ( transtype in ('blah', 'blah' , 'blah' ) )and ( storeloc = @OfficeName )and ( Invtrans.linecost <= 0 )and ( Inventory.location = Invtrans.storeloc )and ( Inventory.itemnum = Invtrans.itemnum )"...etcThis sample statement returns a value and is passed to the variable@WriteOff (for each of the 5 offices mentioned in step 1). This is donearound 9 times for each loop! (9 calculations)3) At the end of each loop (or each office), we do an insert statementto a table in the database.

This is so trivial but I cannot figure out where the calculated fields/measures area is in the PP window. Is there something to toggle it on and off? I used PP in Excel 2013 before and the area I'm talking about was at the bottom of the PP window. Now I'm with a new company who has Excel 2010 so I downloaded the PP add-in for Excel 2010. It is version 10.50.4000.0. This add-in does not have a calculated fields/measures are at the bottom of the PP window. Is it just a matter of 2010 vs. 2013 or is there a way to turn the frame area I'm talking about on?

I am sure that I am missing something simple here, but I can not figure out what. Can someone please help with some advise?

I am not sure if this is possible or not, we have two datasets and each one has an additional calculated field which breaks the value JobBilledExVAT into three years.
So it reports for example how much we billed in May 2015, 2014 and 2013.
I have got the table to display this when reporting on one dataset by grouping by year
The datasets both look similar to this
SELECT
Practice.ibvSalesByJob.JobBilledExVAT
,Practice.ibvSalesByJob.[Year]
FROM
Practice.ibvSalesByJob
INNER JOIN Practice.idvJobType
[Code] ...
The calculated field is
=Switch(Fields!Year.Value = Parameters!Year.Value ,"15", Fields!Year.Value = Parameters!Pre1Year.Value ,"14", Fields!Year.Value = Parameters!Pre2Year.Value ,"13")
The field I am looking to add together is below
=Sum(Fields!JobBilledExVAT.Value)
If I do the below on the dataset associated with the matrix it displays the sum for each year correctly, I would however like to add the Sum(Fields!JobBilledExVAT.Value) from a different dataset (ABS1M) for the relevant year.
I tried this
=Sum(Fields!JobBilledExVAT.Value) + Sum(Fields!JobBilledExVAT.Value, "ABS1M")
However this adds 2015, 14 and 13 from ABS1M and doesn't add them individually if that makes sense? With the calculated field it only shows Year under the main dataset heading not 15, 14 and 13 separately.
I was think of using LOOKUP however I don't know how this would work as 15, 14 and 13 are not displayed under the dataset.

I have created 60 queries and added them to my data model in Power Pivot/Excel 2016. I created some calculated fields for one of my queries but I would LOVE to know how to just copy these across all queries in the data model instead of having to create them in the data model for one query at a time. That will take forever.

Windows Server 2003 R2 - Enterprise - SP2 - 32 Bit

Problem: I have a calculated field on a PO table that adds up item prices on an Item table to get the total PO value. This works as expected until there are at least 10 rows in the PO table. From the 10 row on the calculated field stops working and only shows 0.
I have experienced this before and it seems like calculated fields break on the 10th row of a table and onward.
My PO table
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[PO](
[ID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[Quote_Number] [varchar](max) NULL,
[Customer] [varchar](max) NULL,
[CustomerPO] [varchar](max) NULL,
[PO_Received_Date] [datetime] NULL,
[Total_PO_Value] [decimal](18, 2) NULL,

How do I get data on my linked report based on my grouped subtotal and grand total from the main report. The subtotal and grand total are calculated columns.
I have a 3 columns in my matrix in the SSRS summary report. Actn_COAST, ActnCITY and NumbOfAccts.
The following is code for my summary report. The results are shown below.
SELECT Distinct ActnCITY, Count(ACCT) as NumbOfAccts,
CASE WHEN ActnCITY in ('NY', 'OH', IN, 'NJ', 'SC', 'NC') THEN 'EAST COAST'
WHEN ActnCITY IN ('CA'. 'NV', 'UT', 'WA', 'OR') THEN 'WEST COAST'
ELSE 'OTHER'
END AS Actn_COAST
FROM tbl1
where ACTNDATE between @STARTDT and @EndDT
Code for my detail report contains the following SQL
SELECT * FROM tbl1 where ACTNDATE between @STARTDT and @EndDT AND @ActnCITY = ActnCITY
I have linked my report based on the NumbOfAccts column. I am able to get data if I click any of the NumbOfAccts values related to the state I want. However when I am not sure how to make the subtotal and grand total work. I want when I click on the subtotal of either coast, I should be able to see records of that coast e.g., if I select 37 I should be able to see all the records in East Coast. If I click on the Grand Total, I only want data related to those 2 coasts.

Hi,
I've created dsv that contain all fields from table database. in the smdl I've remove some fileds due to security. All fields in the smdl do not contain drill.
Issue: When I created calculated field in the report builder the field has a link. When I clicked the drill I saw all the record data including field that not in the smdl.
Questions:
1) Can I remove the link from the calculated fields?
2) Can I prevent from users drill to fields that not in the smdl?

Dear All,
I have a problem formatting a field in Reporting Services (minutes to hours).
I have a field called duration which stores time in whole minutes only. I can format this into hours within mssql using the following:
cast(sn.duration/60 as varchar(5)) + ':' + RIGHT('0' + cast(sn.duration%60 as varchar(2)), 2)
But I need to have totals and average columns in my report, which means that the data must come through to RS in the minutes format so I can perform the calculations there.
I have the first part (I think!!):
=string.format("{0:0}",Fields!SalesTime.Value / 60) + ":"
But I cannot get the minutes part working!
Any help would be gratefully received.

OK I have a report that needs an interactive sort on a calculated field. I get the message: "Report items cannot be used in sort expressions"
That's the whole reason we purchased SS*S and are putting up a Data Warehouse, so we can rank and analyze our data. Surely there is a way to do this??
Thanks for any advice!

Hi -
I need help figuring out what setting I need to tweak to get the correct calculations for the default aggregate attributes for the related entities of the one I am drilling into. Right now it is calculating the total across all for every row and not slicing by sub-customer.
Example:
I have a customer with a one-to-many relationship to incidents. Both have a count aggregate that is part of the default aggregates for the entity. There are 58 rows in my table. If I run a report with CustomerName and #Incidents, I correctly get different sub totals for each customer, totalling to 58 for the grand total. However, if I run a summary report on customers and drill into the customers using click through, the #Incidents is displayed but it is 58 for all customers - every row.
If I go into the defaultDetailAttributes of the Customer and add the #Incidents to it and run the previous test, then the correct number of incidents are shown for the customer, then the incorrect number of incidents follow (from getting the aggregates from the children).
The query generated is huge and I am sure it has something to do with my OptionalMany relationships between the tables, but I can't understand why...
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks in advance,
Toni Fielder
