I gotta use a Matrix since the number of months is dynamic.
In my test, I have 12 month columns. Under each Month column is a subordinate Count and a Difference column. In the Difference column, I want to calculate the difference in the Count columns relative to the previous month (if the Count for Jan is 15 and the Count for Feb is 27, then Feb's Difference column should be 12).
So, I am stuck trying to generate an expression for the Difference column. This expression needs to refer to the Count of the previous month.
RS's Previous() function cannot be used in a Matrix (because that's the compiler error that I get when I try to use it).
Does anybody know how to do this???
Do I have to use custom code to do this???
If I can't do this calculation in a matrix, then what good is it???
We are trying to produce a report using a matrix that would show percentages to the column groups in the cells (ratio to parent along the columns):
Colgroup = 1
Colgroup = 2
€¦
Col1
Col2
Col3
Col4
€¦
Rowgroup= 1
Row1
3 / (3+9)
9 / (3+9)
1 / (1+6)
6 / (1+6)
€¦
Row2
€¦
€¦
Rowgroup = 2
Row3
€¦
€¦
Row4
€¦
€¦
€¦
So in the cell we want Field.Value / Sum(Field.Value,"Colgroup1","Row1").
If we add the subtotals column at colgroup level, the value showing up there is the denominator we need.
The problem is you can only have one scope in the aggregation functions so just Sum(Field.Value,"Colgroup") would sum along the rows and Sum(Field.Value,"Row") would sum alnog all the columns, not just those in Colgroup=1. We came accross to possible undocumented features. The Previous function and a intellisense hint for a third way of writing Sum showing three arguments which we dont't know how to use. Would any of these be a solution?
We didn't find more help on these functions anywhere however...
I need a report that shows calcul of a field for current year as well as previous year respecting this rule expression(Last-Last Previous)/Last Previous*100 (I work with MDX Query and i work with SSRS 2008).
Also the report runs on a Year Parameter. Below is an example for the result for example i selected the years 2010 2011 2012 i can select another years because i have the report runs on a Year Parameter
year Data 2010 2011 2012 hp 14 25 30 Dell 17 18 20
and the result i want
year Data 2010 2011 2012 2011/2012 hp 14 25 30 0.002 (Last -Last Previous)/(last Previous*100) =(30-25)/(25*100) Dell 17 18 20 0.0040
I'm trying to creating the following matrix in SSRS 2008R2 (with more product categories than shown here)The matrix only shows the last two year per product. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â The matrix in the report builder looks like this:
For me it's unclear what the expression should be. (or perhaps I need to make a calculation in my TSQL?)
As Row Groups in the matrix I've got:Â
Product; Year
As Column Groups i've got Month
I can't get it to work. Previous doesn't seem to work in this case (only when I got a total of each year (e.g. one column instead of 12))
I got the following code to add a column in a matrix with a variance:
IIF(IsNothing(Previous(Sum(Fields!Amount.Value))) or Fields!year.Value=First(Fields!year.Value,"Category") or Previous(Sum(Fields!Amount.Value))=0,nothing, ( (Fields!Amount.Value) /Previous(sum(Fields!Amount.Value)) ) )
This code works fine, except that the first row of the matrix shows an #error
This happens with each matrix where I use this expression. A warning emerges:
rsruntimeerrorinexpression the value expression for the textrun Textbox43.Paragraphs[0].TextRuns[0]' contains an error.
Attempted to divide by zero.
The strange thing is that the part
Fields!year.Value=First(Fields!year.Value,"Category") should prevent an error and I expect it to show 'nothing'
An screenshot of the table. (each color is a different category. Each row stands for 2013, 2014, 2015)
As you can see, all other 2013 rows show a blank cell, except the first row.
I'm currently working on a report which contains a number of matrix' with subtotals. Each matrix calculates a STDEVP which works just fine and the total shows the values I want.
However, I would like to change the font color of each cell based on the value compared to the total.
For example:
A 4.5 B 7.8 C 3.9 D 5.2 Total 5.7
With the values of A and C being less than the Total, I want to change their color to "Green" and the others to "Red".
I was hopeing I would be able to do something like this. =Iif(ReportItems!matrix1_std.value < xxxxxxxxx,"Green","Red")
Where ReportItems!matrix1_std.value is the values of A-D and xxxxxxxxx would be the "Total"
Is this in some way possible??
I found many expamples for changing the color etc of the totals cell but nothing which tells me how to change the layout of a cell based on the total value.
I'm wondering if its possible to use the subtotal for one group in a matrix in an expression for another group in the matrix.
Im getting the total number of units someone holds in one column, and need to show the percentage of the total units in another column.
An example of what im doing is below... argh images dont seem to be working when you post then! sorry
the first group is Date - This will show all there quantities anytime a trade occurs.
the second and third groups are Quantity (of units) and % of fund.
Quantity is a running value of all the units the account holder has. The percentage needs to be that number / subtotal of all units on that date. So the expression needs to be something like:
=runningvalue(Fields!Quantity.Value, sum, "matrix1_Account_Reference") / --subtotal of date group-- * 100
In Transact SQL I need to calculate the difference between the current bottom and the previous top. If there is no previous top, then the result would be the current bottom.
So, the result would be 0, 2, 2.5, 1
I must return the value in a table. Thank you all for your help!
Hi, how are you? I'm having a problem and I don't know if it can be solved with a derived column expression. This is the problem:
We are looking data in a a sql database.
We are writting the SQL result in a flat file.
We need to transform data in one of the columns.
For example: we can have 3 digits as value in a column but that column must be 10 digit length. So we have to complete all the missing digits with a zero. So, that column will have the original 3 digits and 7 zeros. How we can do that tranformation? We must do it from de the flat file or it can be a previous step? Thanks for any help you can give me. Regards,
I have a table with Million plus records. Due to Running Totals article, I have been able to calculate the Trial_Balance for all months.
Now I am trying to provide a Beginning Balance for all months and the Logic is the Beginning Balance of July would be the Trial_Balance of June. I need to be able to do this for multiple account types. So the two datasets that need to be included in logic is actindx and Calendar_Month.
For actindx of 2 and Calendar_Month of 2014-01-01The Trial_Balance_Debit is 19585.46 This would make the Beginning_Balance of actindx 2 and Calendar_Month of 2014-02-01 19585.46
I am trying to do some type of self join, but not sure how to include each actindx number differently.
Table creation and data insert is below.
SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO
SET ANSI_PADDING ON GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[TrialBalance]( [Trial_Balance_ID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
I have a scenario to compare previous records based on each ID columns. For each ID, there would be few records, I have a column called "compare", We have to compare all Compare 1 records with Compare 0 Records. If Dt is lesser or equal to comparing DT, then show 0. Else 1
We always only one Compare 0 records in my table, so all compare 1 columns will compare with only one row per ID
My tables look like
Declare @tab1 table (ID Varchar(3), Dt Date, Compare Int) Insert Into @tab1 values ('101','2015-07-01',0) Insert Into @tab1 values ('101','2015-07-02',1) Insert Into @tab1 values ('101','2015-07-03',1) Insert Into @tab1 values ('101','2015-07-01',1) Insert Into @tab1 values ('101','2015-06-30',1)
Insert Into @tab1 values ('102','2015-07-01',0) Insert Into @tab1 values ('102','2015-07-02',1) Insert Into @tab1 values ('102','2015-07-01',1)
select * from @tab1
1.) In the above scenario for ID = '101', we have 5 records, first record has Compare value 0, which mean all other 4 records need to compare with this record only
2.) If Compare 1 record's Dt is less or equal to Compare 0's DT, then show 0 in next columnÂ
3.)Â If Compare 1 record's Dt is greater than Compare 0's DT, then show 1 in next columnÂ
I have a table called dbo.test. This table is built with two columns, namely; col_id and col_name.. Now, I want col_id to be auto-populated when a new col_name is added. But the col_id - should be of formulae xyyyy
where x = 2
and yyyy = will be incremental
Therefore, the first 3 records will be like ;
col_id Col_name 20001 A 20002 B 20003 C ...... ...... and so on
Now, is there a way SQL can auto-populate teh col_id whenever a col_name is added?
Hello , I would like to know whether it is possible automatic generate values in primary column. I have learn from book that i can use identity to automatically generate value in the column when the data is inserted. Is it possible to automatically generate value for data type varchar. For example R0001. Looking forword to hear from u.
I've a report containing a matrix. I want a column on end of each row in matrix, which shows me sum of that row. Is it possible in matrix? if yes, how can i achieve it?
i m using matrix in my project and i want to calculate the (cell_value/sum_of_column). for data cell values we have to use sum or another aggregate function for subtotaling, so for the cell value i m wirting sum(column) / A. how to write A that points to sum of all cells on the column.
Hello, I have a table (publication) that has a primary key pubID which is an identity specification. This ID already has relationships to other tables. I am having problems trying to make one of the other columns in the same table to auto generate. This column (bibNumber) is not related to any other table. All i want to do is when i create a new record in the table, auto generate a number for this column bibNumber. How can i do this? I am using sql server express 2005 Regards
I have a matrix that has the following columns:Date Shift Equipment1 Equipment2 Equipment3 etcBased on a parameter, i want to show/hide the Shift column. If the Shift column is hidden, i want to move the equipment columns over so there is no gap in the columns.I know you can do this in a table by hidding the whole column, but how do you do this in a matrix? when i try to hide the column the visibility option is not there, and when i hide the field, it leaves a gap in the report.Thanks for your help.
Within a report matrix, I want to be able to have different aggregations for totals. One column would be a Sum of the data in that column, the next column would be an Average of the data. Is this possible, or is this not supported in SSR2005?
Hi, I would like to generate following table with reporting service matrix. But if I use the expression : percentage coulmn=sum(field!qty.value) / sum(field!qty.value, "region_group") It will become a percentage of a row total, instead of a group total (store group). Please see the second table. Any ideas?
I am developing a matrix report in SRS. In columns group there are several values. When report runs they apper in any order based on the first record in row group. I want colums to apeear in specific order all the time. For example the column sequence in one out put is Follwup 1, Initial , Followup 2. I want to column header to be in order of Initial, Folloup 1, Followup 2. Can someone help?
Is there any way of having Column names in a matrix report. Actually it is a RowGroup. I want to display the name of the row group at the top, so that the user understands what is the data beneath.
