Hello Friends,
I am new to SSRS and i want to define a Variable to one of the expression of my ssrs report. Can anyone help me to solve this issue.
I am using a matrix in the report and in that matrix in each box i am using some expression to get the value. So i need to define a variable .. Is it possible to define a variable ?
I have created a heat map and it is working pretty well. The only issue I am having is that the expression for the fill is using "DataSet1"
=Code.GetHeatmapColor(sum(Fields!AnnualPremium.Value),Min(Fields!AnnualPremium.Value,"DataSet1",Recursive),
Max(Fields!AnnualPremium.Value,"DataSet1",Recursive))
This is making the heatmap look at the whole dataset instead of just what I am grouping by. Within the Dataset there are Regions and Credit Unions. Since the Dataset is looking at an entire region, the heatmap is coloring based on all data for the region. I need to heatmap to color based on the Credit Unions in that region. The Credit Unions are a group. I need the group to be the value it is referencing in the heat map and not "DataSet1". I have been told to use scope or a variable but cannot get it to work correctly.
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 everyone,
How to define a Input variable in a Execute Sql Task??
I've defined a User::Inicio variable which contains 4 as value.
In Parameter Mappins it has been defined. Then, I've gone to General->Sql Statement and allocated the following SQL Statement:
UPDATE CARGAPROCESOS SET FECHAULTIMACARGA = [Inicio]
or
UPDATE CARGAPROCESOS SET FECHAULTIMACARGA = [User::Inicio]
Anyway, I'm stuck, both did not work
Thanks in advance for your comments
Hi all,
I'm trying to build a Where clause in a stored procedure based on the information that is passed into the stored procedure. Because I don't know how many items will be passed into the stored procedure, I'm having to split the string on a specific character and build the Where clause based on how many strings are found.
However, when I try to execute the Where clause it throws an error.
Code Snippet
ALTER PROCEDURE getUsersAddress
-- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here
@LName varchar(1000)
@City varchar(1000),
@State varchar(1000),
@License varchar(1000)
AS
declare @Count as int
declare @x as int
declare @wLName as varchar(2000)
declare @wCityas varchar(2000)
declare @wStateas varchar(2000)
declare @wLicense as varchar(2000)
BEGIN
-- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
-- interfering with SELECT statements.
SET NOCOUNT ON;
if right(rtrim(@LName),1) <> ';'
begin
set @LName = @LName + ';'
end
set @Count = PATINDEX('%;%',@LName)
set @wLName = '(tblUsers.LName = '''
while @Count <> 0
begin
set @wLName = @wLName + left(@LName, @Count - 1)
set @LName = stuff(@LName, 1, @Count, '')
set @Count = PATINDEX('%;%',@LName);
if @Count <> 0
begin
set @wLName = @wLName + ''') OR (tblUsers.LName = '''
end
else
begin
set @wLName = @wLName + ''')'
end
end
print cast(@wLName as varchar(5000))
-- Insert statements for procedure here
SELECT
tblUsers.FullName,
tblUsers.Addy1,
tblUsers.Addy2,
tblUsers.City,
tblState.StateAbbr,
tblUsers.Zip,
tblUsers.Zip4
FROM
tblUsers
INNER JOIN tblState ON tblUsers.FK_StateID = tblState.StateID
INNER JOIN tblUserDetails ON tblUsers.UserID = tblUserDetails.FK_UserID
WHERE
(@wLName) OR
(tblUsers.City = @City) OR
(tblState.StateAbbr = @State) OR
(tblUserDetails.CDLType = @License)
END
So when I print do an exec getUsersAddress 'Johnson;Smith', 'City;Test City', 'TX;OK', 'Class A;Class B'
@wLName comes out as (tblUsers.LName = 'Johnson') OR (tblUsers.LName = 'Smith')
However, I can't save the procedure as it gives me an error of:
An expression of non-boolean type specified in a context where a condition is expected, near 'OR'.
When I copy and paste the @wLName value in place of @wLName in the Where clause it works, so how can I get the @wLName variable to work in that Where clause?
I am using an oledb source. the query is coming from a variable. The database to which oledb source is connected is Oracle.Mt variable contains the following query:

Hi,
I have a variables in SSIS:
- object MyObj
How can I write an expression that checks if MyObj is NULL or NOT NULL?
Thank you.
Hello,
I have a DateTime variable called CurrentDate that needs to reflect the current date, but the date portion only. I checked several functions in the Expression Builder to use with GETDATE() so that I could just get the date portion, but I didn't see anything that really fit. In a SQL query I would normally use CONVERT to do this.
Any ideas?
Thank you for your help!

What would be the correct syntax if I wanted to add the following lines into a variable using an expression? The lines should be the first two rows before my XML.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<dataroot xmlns:od="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:officedata">
+@[User::xml_output]
Thanks,

So I have this great MDX query that runs fine in Management Studio and I need to use it in a report. The statement contains a LookupCube call. I've tried everything but I am unable to get access to the fields in the dataset when I go to design the report.
I've tried adding the =" in the beginning and the " at the end. I've also tried escaping the " with "". Everything I've tried however never gives me the ability to access the 'PREV BATCH ELIGIBLE BALANCE' field.
Before you ask, I'm using LookupCube because the below code is just a piece of a much large MDX query. I just figured I'd start small and see how it goes.
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[PREV BATCH ELIGIBLE BALANCE] AS LookupCube("CLAIMS"," ([Measures].[TOTAL BALANCE] ,[CLIENT].[ATC Healthcare, Inc.] , [ELIGIBILITY].[TRUE], [ROLL_FWD].[TRUE], " + [Batch].PrevMember.UniqueName + ")") SELECT { [Measures].[PREV BATCH ELIGIBLE BALANCE] } ON COLUMNS, { [BATCH].[MyComp Healthcare, Inc.].Children } ON ROWS FROM [CLAIMS]
Hi all of you,
That's an easy one. I've got a Send Mail task which might send a message in plain text along with a SSIS variable.
Something like that:
'La tabla "' + SUBSTRING( @[System:ackageName], 3,20) + "' se ha cargado correctamente'
TIA for that,
Hi
I have some SSIS variables of type System.Object (they have to be this
type because they are used to hold the results of a single row result
set in an Execute SQL task which is querying an Oracle database.
Although I know the Oracle table columns are Numeric, this was the only
SSIS type that worked).
My problem is that I want to use these variables in expressions, but
can't - I get the error "The data type of variable "User::varObjectVar"
is not supported in an expression".
The only workaround I can think of is to use a script to assign
the numeric values (integers, in fact) that these variables hold to
other variables of type Int32.
Is that my only option, or am I missing something?
thanks

I have been successful using comments (to help remind me that the SQL is coming from a varaible which is set via an expresion) within the variable expression passed to a Source or Destination. I have been unable to get this to work in an ExecuteSQL control flow task when parameters are used within the query. I am not sure what is causing this not to work the fact that it is an ExecuteSQL control flow task or that the SQL has parameters (or perhaps that it also uses an OUTPUT parameter).
Any thoughts to share? Am I missing something?

I'm trying to do something very simple, and having a tough time with it.
I've got a Global Variable that gets a string value assigned to it in a Script Task, and then I need to access that value in Execute Process Task Expression. When running, by the time it gets to the Process Task, the global variable's value in the expression is still blank, even though a breakpoint on the task shows that it does have a value.
What am I doing wrong? This seems too simple to give me this much problem.
Greetings my SSIS friends
I am attempting to create an expression as follows:
"Select * from someTable where someColumn >= " + (dt_str, 25, 1252) @[User::DateTimeVariable]
The problem is that my variable is a Datetime field and when I convert it to string, the string will not execute correctly.
How to solve this problem?
First and foremost, I'm officially and thoroughly confused between Variable, Expression and settings. I need help clearify this up for me.
I'm going to use the Flat File Connection as an example.
I have:
> A global variable named: FileToImportFullPath (string) that stores the full path of the file I want to import. Note: the file path will change has the package executes (the location of the file depends on a number of conditions, namely the Date and Time of the package execution)
> A Flat File Connection Manager used by a Flat File source in the package's main Data Flow
So ideally, I want the Flat File Connection Manager's ConnectionString to be set to whatever the value of FileToImportFullPath variable is at the time. To accomplish this, I set the ConnectionString Expression to equal to FileToImportFullPath. First question, if I set the ConnectionString Expression, is it okay for me to leave the ConnectionString property (i.e. in the Editor or the Property Editor) blank? Second, whenever I leave the ConnectionString property blank, I will get a warning stating: "A valid file name must be selected". Since this is a warning, I ignored, but during exeuction, the value really is blank. Also, I'm 100% certain that the FileToImportFullPath variable is set correctly before the Data Flow step is executed.
All in all, I'm just confused if an object's property must be set if there is already an express for it (e.g., in the file move task, the source and the destination properties).
Thanks,
Jason
Below is my query, it output's a percentage based on some calculations that i've had to make to fit in with requirements.The trouble is that it is also coming with NaN values which i need set to 0%,modify the below query to accomplish this?
=Sum(IIF(IIF(ISNOTHING(Fields!TotalHours.Value) = true,25,Fields!TotalHours.Value) <= 24,1,0)) / Sum(Fields!SubTotal.Value)
I need returning a 0 from my lookup value versus it currently returning a blank space in my SSRS report.
=Lookup(Fields!InsuranceCarriersID.Value , Fields!InsuranceCarrierId.Value, Fields!TotalBalance.Value, "InsAgingSubReport")
I would like to suppress the entire row in tablix if no data despite multiple expresions used in a text box.
If data the it will show per the DB data else it should not show anythig or leave it as blank row
The issue is where I have appended ";" and "'" in the expressions but still comes in the report output because it is appended even if no data.
I have created a variable in a SQL Task and assigned it to a string variable. When I debug the container with a breakpoint, I can see the correct date value being assigned to the variable.
I have an ADO Net source setup to an Oracle connection. I need to pull the Oracle data down that has an updated date greater than the updated date in my ODS.
My issue is that the variable is not being passed through to my expression that I use for an ADO Net source.
"SELECT * FROM BI_EDW.GL_JE_HEADERS WHERE LAST_UPDATE_DATE > To_Date('" + (DT_WSTR, 19) @[User::varLastUpdateDate] + "','yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss')"
I have tried with this thing for hours and I can't get it to parse.
Trying to get last year so the expression should evaluate today as of "12/31/2014"
I looked all over on Google and couldn't find an expression to copy so I've been playing with it.
Here is what it is in SQL Server:
SELECT DATEADD(dd,-1,DATEADD(yy, DATEDIFF(yy,0,GETDATE()),0))
Absolutely could not get it to parse..even with DT tags, etc...
I'm using a file Task to rename files to include a Month and Year in the FIle. Part of the requirement in the file name is a two digit month. I have the following query built which will return a two digit month regardless if it's a one or two digit month.
SELECT REPLACE(STR(MONTH(DATEADD("Month", -1,GETDATE())), 2), ' ', '0')
This works perfect when running in T-SQL, but when attempting to define a variable in the expression
REPLACE(STR(MONTH(DATEADD("Month", -1,GETDATE())), 2), ' ', '0') expression keeps failing the evaluation?
Anyone run into a simliar issue or have a suggested work around?
Greetings once again SQL friends,
Sorry to bug you with my silly questions but this little problem has been driving me crazy for the last hour or so!
I am attempting to change the data type of a variable in an expression but I keep getting an error saying that the expression can not be evaluated.
The syntax I am using is as follows :
(dt_str) @[User::MAX_OFFER_PRICE_ID]
My variable MAX_OFFER_PRICE_ID is type int32 and I am attempting to cast it as a string.
What am I doing wrong?!
Thanks for your help in advance.
I have an integer variable which i had to cast as a string in order for it to show as an integer in the sql expression which is a string in order for it to INSERT as an integer? Read that 5 times fast!!!
"INSERT INTO Table( SourceFileName, ProcessStartTime, ProcessEndTime, Processed, RowCountFlatFile, RowCountCleanInsert, RowCountDataConversionErrors, RowCountPKViolation, RowCountDuplicateInvoiceIDInSourceFile, RowCountISNULLCase1, RowCountISNULLCase2, RowCountConditionalSplit)
VALUES( '"+ @[User:aymentFileName] +"',
'"+ (DT_STR, 20, 1252)@[System:tartTime]+ "',
'"+ (DT_STR, 20, 1252)@[System:tartTime]+ "',
1,
"+(DT_STR, 4, 1252)@[User::rcSourceFile]+",
"+(DT_STR, 4, 1252)@[User::rcCleanInserts]+",
"+(DT_STR, 4, 1252)@[User::rcDataConversionErrors]+",
"+(DT_STR, 4, 1252)@[User::rcPKViolation]+",

"+(DT_STR, 4, 1252)@[User::rcISNULLCase2] +",
"+(DT_STR, 4, 1252)@[User::rcConditionalSplitErrors]+"
)"
all the variable beginning with rc are Int32 variables being loaded using the Row Count task. they are being inserted into an integer field in the table. Is this whack or what???
I was trying to cast is using DT_I4 but couldn't find any samples nor could I get it to work. The above is successful!!!
I have one package that executes 4 child packages (5 total). All 5 packages are set to log information using a connection string with a variable set at runtime for the location. The child packages use a parent variable to get the log connection string from the parent package.
The parent package logs fine, but a strange behavior occurs with the child packages.
The child packages all log data to the location used in the configuration file variable during runtime (like it's supposed to). However, I would get an error right before the first child package finishes execution saying path not found. Just for giggles, I created the folder I use in my development environment on the production environment. The error goes away, but the log file is created in that folder with no data in it. Subsequently, the log file with the data is created in the location set in the configuration file. Now I have two log files!!!!
Anybody know how to fix this?!
Hi
We have set up an SSIS package which goes to an FTP site and downloads files.
Everything is fine... EXCEPT (lol) when there are no files to download. This then fails the task.
However, I want the package to continue to run.
Is there away of assigning the error message given to an expression and then using the expression in the precedence contraint?
thanking you in advance
David
Is there any way to default to the first day of the month in a SSRS expression. I'm looking to do the reverse of the EOMONTH() function.The date value is coming from a parameter @BegDate and formatted YYYY-MM-DD. So if the parameter is set to 2015-08-31 it would show 2015-08-01
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,
I am not understanding this part of the problem. I am currently reusing a stored procedure that has a ".." as part of the select statement.
I can't put the select statement up here due to privacy but I have found the error where the error states the following:-
Invalid Column Prefix: AM, invalid table name.
I noticed that part of the select statement was the following:-
AM..Field1
I tried executing this stored procedure in the query analyzer and it works fine, but when I tried executing it in SSRS, it gives me the error. After searching through the internet for possible causes, I found out that it was the ".." was giving the error. Anyone knows why ? I found out that it was supposed to bypass any users and permissions to the table.
Thakns !

I have @for_dte parameter(date data type) in a ssrs report
using below expression
=Format(Parameters!for_dte.Value, "dd/MMM/yyyy") -i got Output:10/Oct/2015
but i need Output:10/OCT/2015(ie OCT in capitals).
How can i achieve that using expression.
I have been using SSIS for a while now, originally in SQL 2008 but more lately SQL 2012.
I discovered the GETDATE() function in SSIS so I thought I would use this in a variable expression in a Master/Driver package with the child parameters mapped to this variable. A big mistake. The value is not persisted, it gets updated each time the variable is read, so it's back to setting the variable value using a script task in the Master/Driver package.
We have one package in production. variable var_date has an expression already defined to it. How can we overwrite this variable value from config file or from cmd file. We don't want to make changes to the package and redeploy it.

For Example

If condtion is true

I have a data field in a SSRS Report that contains the requestor's User Id. Their ID is prefixed with "PRIV"...And I'm assuming that is the direct result of the network domain. I need to create a SSRS expression to determine if the User ID is prefixed with "PRIV" and then parse that out and use what's behind the "" as their true User Id.
example...."PRIVID123456" should appear as "ID123456" in the report data line.
