I did all that with this statement :
= "Briefing between "+ Parameters!FromDate.Value+ " and " +Parameters!ToDate.Value
but when i want to dispaly another filter it doesn't show up like this :
= "Briefing between "+ Parameters!FromDate.Value+ " and " +Parameters!ToDate.Value
IIf( Parameters!Company.Value!="",Parameters!Company.Value,"")
I am sorry i have to jump up into Sql reporting service without a good skills on expressions

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.
Thank you all...

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.

I am try to build a query which only matches whole words and so far I've got this.
Code:
SELECT *
FROM tblSearchWords
WHERE CorrectSpelling LIKE '%[^a-zA-Z0-9]blah[^a-zA-Z0-9]%'
This will return rows which contain the string 'blah' without any numeric or alphanumeric characters beside it. However it doesn't return the rows where 'blah' is either at the start or end of the string as it expects any character except a-zA-Z0-0.
Is there any way to accept string when there is nothing on either side as well?
Thanks,
Goran

I am trying to exclude all strings that has 'a' inside (I havesimplified the actual problem)select 1where 'bb b a dfg' like '%[^a]%'However, the above does not work. By the way, I can not use 'not like'such as:select 1where 'bb b a dfg' not like '%a%'Although the above will work but the idea is that I have to use 'like'and not 'not like'. This is partly because I have to exclude rows froman exclusion table (a table that has many rows that will be excluded).Actually I want to include all srings that has lets say // in it usinga regular expression. I would like to write it as (I am sure it willnot work):select 1where column like '%[^/][^/]%'That should exclude strings like: 'aaa // aa aa' or 'bb bbb // bb' etcand include strings like: 'aaa aa aa' or 'bb aa nn' etcIs there any way to write a regular expression to do it? Otherrwise Ihave to solve this problem without using regular expressions in theexclusion table.Thanks.

Hi
I have a table which stores a big chunk of html text, which I have to search for and replace some strings.
How can I write a query that makes use of regular expressions to do the following:
Below is a block of example text
======================================================================
" src="http://aaaa/bbbb/cccc.nsf/blind%2010x10.gif?OpenImageResource" width=10> <img height=10 alt="" src="http://aaaa/bbbb/cccc.nsf/blind%2010x10.gif?OpenImageResource" width=10><img height=11 alt=""
http://aaaa/bbbb/cccc.nsf/blablablabla?OpenDocument src="http://aaaa/bbbb/cccc.ns http://aaaa/bbbb/cccc.nsf/d8d4f0dfa09ba71142256cc50040ee51/ee9b4493dac727be422571c30027df61? OpenDocument" target=_self>
======================================================================
Now I want to search and replace the string that is highlighted in red with something like "FOUND"
The below string is what I want to search for - I will used PATINDEX on the string below to find the start index of the string in the body, and then I will add on 114 to the when doing a replace:
'%http://aaaa/bbbb/cccc.nsf/%some guid%/%some guid%?OpenDocument%'
For example
REPLACE
(
TheField,
SUBSTRING
(
TheField,
PATINDEX(''%http://aaaa/bbbb/cccc.nsf/%some guid%/%some guid%?OpenDocument%', TheField),
,114
)
,
'FOUND'
)
QUESTION:
what would the regular expression be and how does one type it in the query?
I tried something like the below but it does not work, please advise .....
[a-z][0-9]{32} %/% [a-z][0-9]{32}

I have as csv-file wich I import into an SQL Server table. Now I want to do some checks on it. I use a conditional split to direct data to the other tables (1 table for the correct data, 1 table for the rejected data).
Is it possible to use a regular expression in a case in a conditional split to check if a columns has the right format?
If yes? How do I do that?
If no? What is the alternative?
Thanks!

Thanks in advanace for taking the time to read this post.
I am using MSSQL 2005 and have created a function that allows me to use regular expressions in my SQL queries.
My question is I have a pattern buried in a field of misc data that I need to pull out just that pattern and discard the rest of the data. Here is the Regular Expression I am using
select field1 from table1
where dbo.RegExMatch (field1,'[a-zA-Z]{4}[0-9]{6}[a-zA-Z]{2,4}')=1
This returns all values in the field that match the expression. What I want to do now is remove all data from the field on the left and right of the expression that does not match the expression. How would I accomplish this without reading through the 200k+ records and writing rules for every exception I run across?
so I could have Gar b/a ge 'THE GOOD DATA' m/or1 ba4d da....ta. All I want to do is return 'THE GOOD DATA'

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

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.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Hi All,
Can anyone advise me if I can enter an expression into the format property of a field, so the date is displayed as dd/mm/yyyy ?
It is currently mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss
I have been trying with convert and FormatDateTime, but can't seem to get this to work in the Report layout editor. I would like to know how to do it here, rather than changing my query.
Thanks in advance

I'm calculating the format string for currency values based upon what's selected as a report currency parameter value. Just to mention, it's a call to a .net dll. Because this call is in every textbox in the details section of the report,I believe it's getting called for every textbox that is displayed on the report - but I really don't need to calculate it at this level. The format string will only be one way per report execution.
Is it possible to only call this function once, stuff the format expression in a textbox (or some method that's similar) and then reference that ReportItems!textbox3.Value for the format string of other textboxes? I threw the calculation in a textbox in the report header and also body, but I get an issue either way:
Report item expressions can only refer to other report items within the same grouping scope or a containing grouping scope
I understand that it doesn't seem possible, but can anyone help me think out of the box? I see that a database call and another dataset holding the FormatString might work... I'll try this out, but in the meantime, is there a solution to not do this?

Hi
I am trying to configure the SelectedDatabases property of the Reorganize Index Task using an expression.
The Expressions property of the task provides the ability to configure the SelectedDatabases property of the task using an expression. The properties pane shows that the type of the SelectedDatabases property should be a "(Collection)" (which is edited using the 'Object Collection Editor').
How do I create an expression to configure the SelectedDatabases property? Can I build the collection in text? Or do I need to provide a variable of type System.Object that contains a collection type (and if so exactly what type should it contain)?
TIA . . . Ed

Is it possible to convert for the following SQL statement into SSRS Expression:
SELECT
RIGHT('00' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(2), FLOOR(SUM(Hours))), 2)
+ ':' + RIGHT('00' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(2), FLOOR((SUM(Hours) - FLOOR(SUM(Hours))) * 60)), 2) + ':' + RIGHT('00' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(2),
FLOOR((SUM(Hours) - FLOOR(SUM(Hours))) * 60 - FLOOR((SUM(Hours) - FLOOR(SUM(Hours))) * 60)) * 60), 2)
FROM TableTime
For example I need SSRS expression for converting 1.75 hours into 01:45:00.

We are using SSRS 2012. We have a report that conditionally formats a background color for some cells. The report renders properly in a browser and in Excel 2003 format. In Excel format all cells after the first one that meets the condition are highlighted, even if only one cell should.
The sample expression that triggers this condition looks like this:
=IIF(Fields!VIOL_NOTE.Value="Internal","Green","No Color")
All cells after the first one that meets the condition Fields!VIOL_NOTE.Value="Internal" have a green background.

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, the Microsoft SQL Server version is 2000
Basically I want use a basic regular expression but can't seem to get the syntax right.
i want to compare ID_short = ID_Long
ID_short is a truncated version of ID_Long, and I want to search on the beginning only (hence I can't use the 'LIKE' comparative on it's own).
What is the syntax to use Reg Expressions (or if anyone knows a non RegExp way of searching the beginning please let me know).
Thanks
