Is this a known issue? When I try to filter my report using Like operator on one of the Report parameters/dataset field it returns nothing. If I use = it works? Any ideas how to use the "Like" operator in reporting?
Thanks,
Here is what I am trying to do in SSRS 2005.
Setting up filters based on parameters with an expression like this:
=Iif(Parameters!Company.Value = "", "", Fields!company.Value)
In the wizard we are creating, we are also letting the user choose the operator for each parameter that they choose. My question is how can I change the filter dynamically based on the user choosing a specific parameter and also choosing an operator to associate with that parameter??
Example 1: User 1 chooses the Company parameter to filter their report, and they choose the parameter to equal (=) a specific value. So the filter expression would be like the one previously mentioned and the operator would be an equal sign.
Example 2: User 2 chooses the Company parameter to filter their report, and they choose the parameter to be LIKE a specific value. So the filter expression would be like the one previously mentioned and the operator would be LIKE.
How can I do this?
Thanks in advance for your help.
It seems that when I use the Range(inc.) as the filter operator for a Dataset and then try to use the Last and First keywords to extract the results from the dataset in the layout the results are sometimes wrong and don't match the expected.
Does anyone knows of any issues that would affect this filtering mechanism?
i wand to filter the report based on the country as Canada and france by Using Filter but Not with Parameter..Similarly How to use Not In Operator also.
View 3 Replies View RelatedGood morning all,
I have searched everywhere for this and I can't find any information on it. When I use the Query Builder, in the top pane, the Filter pane, there are five columnsimension, Hierarchy, Operator, Filter Expession and Parameters.
In the dropdown for Operator, one of the choices is MDX. I cannot find any documentation on how to use this operator. I want to limit my filter to SELF_AND_AFTER, and I am hoping that this is possible using this operator. I know how to hand code it, but I have a ton of other tweaks to make to the query, so I want to use the Query Designer as much as I can.
Does anyone have any links to documentation on how to use this operator?
Thanks,
Kathryn
Hi,
I dare to state that I found a very disappointing bug when using the LIKE operator on NTEXT columns. I actually need to check for equality, but since that doesn't work, I was using LIKE and I noticed I was getting lots of duplicates in my table.
I am using SQL Server 2005 and the issue is very easy to reproduce.
In a table T(string NTEXT) we have 1 row containing 5000 times the character a, like aaaaaaaaa....a - 5000 times. The following query does not return any matches:
SELECT * FROM T WHERE string LIKE 'aaa....a' -- 5000 times
SELECT * FROM T WHERE string LIKE 'aaa...a%' -- 5000 times
doesn't return any values either.
Now comes the fun part: if the literal used with LIKE in the above query is 'aaa...a%' where a occurs 3999 times the query returns the row. If a occurs 4000 times, the query returns no results. It looks like a magic number to me ;-) Does the literal get truncated to a NVARCHAR (whose maximum length is 4000)?
Is there any fix for this problem? I'm thinking of writing a stored procedure to work around the issue...
Another thing that I observed is that there seem to be problems with the comparison when the strings contain special characters (tabs, new lines, etc).
Any ideas would be appreciated, since I really need the comparison in order to avoid having duplicates in my table. I can't keep all the strings in memory and do the check in the application...
Thanks in advance,
Florin

I have a disconnected utility dimension with the following data and a waterfall->subwaterfall hierarchy. I have ignore if same as parent set on sub water fall. The unary operator is assigned to the relevant level
WaterFall WaterFallUnary SubWaterFall SubWaterFallUnary
Opening ~ Opening ~
Price ~ Price ~
Total Composition ~ Composition L1 +
Total Composition ~ Composition L2 +
Total Composition ~ Composition L3 +
Total Composition ~ Composition L4 +
Total Composition ~ Composition L5 +
Closing ~ Closing ~
I'm using MDX to set values to the members
SCOPE(Measures.Waterfall,[Dim Waterfall].[Water Fall].&[Price]);
THIS=Measures.LowestPrice;
END SCOPE;
SCOPE(Measures.Waterfall,[Dim Waterfall].[Sub Water Fall].&[Composition L1]);
THIS=Measures.[Composition L1];
END SCOPE;
[Code] ....
But when i run a simple select query
SELECT
{[Measures].[Waterfall]} ON COLUMNS,
[Dim Waterfall].[Water Fall].[Water Fall] ON ROWS
FROM [GPA]
I only get a value for price. Total Composition is NULL. If I change my query to look at the subwaterfall level then I see values for composition L1->L5, so I know there are values there I was expecting the unary operator to aggregate my composition measures into Total Composition.
I should point out that every measure that's being assigned to my utility dim is calculated with in excess of a dozen or so steps and intermediate calcs, is this causing some kind of solve order issue?
I know that as a workaround i could probably do something like
SCOPE(Measures.Waterfall,[Dim Waterfall].[Water Fall].&[Total Composition]);
THIS=SUM([Dim Waterfall].[Hierarchy].[Water Fall].&[Total Composition].Children,Measures.Waterfall);
END SCOPE;
But that defeats the purpose of the unary operators

Hi,
I've tried using the same method mentioned in the dozens of posts dedicated to this topic but it's not working.
My SQL statement is:
SELECT [University Origins].Origin, COUNT([University Origins].Origin) AS TotalCount, Hospitals.Name
FROM Posts INNER JOIN
Hospitals ON Posts.HospitalID = Hospitals.[Hospital ID] CROSS JOIN
[University Origins] INNER JOIN
Incumbents ON [University Origins].[Uni Origin ID] = Incumbents.[University Origin]
WHERE (NOT ([University Origins].Origin = 'No answer')) AND (Hospitals.Name IN (@HospitalFilter))
GROUP BY [University Origins].Origin, Hospitals.Name
The HospitalFilter parameter is set to Multivalue and it's populated with it's own SQL statement giving the Distinct Hospitals.
I have setup a filter on my table with the following expressions:
Expression: =Trim(Fields!Name.Value)
Operator: = IN
Value: =Trim(Parameters!HospitalFilter.Value.ToString )
I have used Trim to remove leading and trailing spaces.
Running the report always returns zero results and I'm puzzled by this. Would appreciate any advice and suggestions
Thanks,

I have configured transactional publication where some tables have a simple row filter. And I made a supscription to this publication. When I make snapshot and replication initialization, all rows are updated correctly and passed to subscriber. But when I change some column at a row included by filter at publisher, it is never updated on the subscriber. Other tables and that same table when I remove filter is updated correctly.
What can be problem?
I am using SQL Server 2005 Standard for publisher, and SQL Express 2005 for subscriber, both with SP2.
Any help would be apritiated.

View 6 Replies View RelatedHi All,
I have an SQL2005 db where I have some data I want to retrieve for a report. There are a couple of related tables holding some secondary info linked by foreign keys and one large table holding the bulk of the data. On my site I want to have a page where people can select filter options such as to display items that were entered before a date, after a date, between two dates, objects that are marked as complete in the table, etc.... Essentially various optional filters.
What I'm wondering is what's the best way to handle building the query to retrieve this data for the next page to display the report? I can think of a couple of ways but would essentially result in a lot of messy combining of strings to create the SQL query either in the C# code or in the stored procedure itself. I'm guessing, and hopping, there might be a cleaner method for this as it's a rather common thing I would think.
Thanks :)
Hi,
I need to filter a single .rdl page in accordance with an option chosen from an asp.net page.
I know how to filter a report within the reporting page. But how can I do the filtering from an asp.net page? For example I have a Report1.rdl that prints out all the locations. I need the same report1.rdl page to print out only for a certain location based on the option I chose from the asp.net page. My asp.net page has 3 buttons. One to for all locations, another for location1, and the other one for location2. Please help. Thanks
In 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 just installed a fresh lab machine with WSS 3.0 and SQL 2005 SP1. I registered the RS web parts.
In the home page I added the Reports Explorer and the Report viewer web parts. I set up the Reports Explorer and the list of reports are showed.
When I connect the Report Viewer Web part to get report from the Report Explorer web part I get the maintenance WSS page. I have to delete the Report Viewer web part to have the page working again.
If I use only the Reports Viewer with a report (not connected to Reports Explorer) is working just fine.
Any ideas what could be the problem? Any hints on how to investigate this is also much appreciated.
Thanks,

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

Can anybody please let me know if cascading parameter feature of Report Designer can be implemented in Report Builder in any possible way (using filter or report parameters).
We have a scenario where the end user wants to create an adhoc report with two input parameters (or filters). Both the parameters will be selected from a list of available values at run time. The problem is that the second parameter's list of values should be populated based on what is selected in the first parameter.
Thanks in advance.
Hi All,
I have to filter my report with the date parameter. Custom Dates are comming from the database.
I have to filter with the date just previous Date which user selected as a parameter.
As an example if parameter contains 2/04/2008 , 10/04/2008, 14/04/2008, 16/04/2008 and user is selecting 14/04/2008 then I want to filter the data from just previous parameter i.e. 10/04/2008

Guys,
In my report builder when I drag the SKU in the filter area, its doesnt give me the dropdown and show me the distinct values, it just gives me a text box and expects me to type in the SKU.
I have other attributes whcih have the same property as SKU but they all work fine when I drag them into Filter area.
Is there a limitation in reporting svcs where if the Field has more than "n" number of distinct records it will not populate the dropdown, instead just present you with a text box?
My DataModel Table has around 110K records and roughly 7K distinct SKU's
I compared the SKU field to other fields in the Report Model Designer and also DataSource View and nothing seems to be out of normal to not show the dropdown with distinct values except for the # of distinct records.
Appreciate your help in advance
I have a requirement to add the ability to filter a report by partial last name, at the report level (i.e. not at the database server). In case someone else needs to work out how to do this, here is what I did.
Add a Parameter to the report. In my case it is named LastName, is non-queried, allows Null or Blank, and has a default of null.
Add a filter to the dataset that contains the field to be searched. Set its Expression to:
=IIF(Parameters!LastName.Value = System.DBNull.Value OR Parameters!LastName.Value = "",
Fields!LastName.Value, Nothing) ,
its operator to "="
and its value to =IIF(Parameters!LastName.Value = Nothing OR Parameters!LastName.Value = "", Nothing, Parameters!LastName.Value & "*")
voila!

When applying a filter in Report Builder the filter will timeout when loading data for the filter. It does not happen all of the time seems to happen more often during the business day. Has anyone else run into this probelm? Is there a way to increase the timeout?

I 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 RelatedI 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.
I have a report I'm working on that provides a census of members. These members have certain properties;
Load date,Report Type,Clinic,Care Manager,PCP Name.
The census is from an outside group and what I do is massage it for our internal databases and reports to our care managers.
The report starts out by returning only those entries that were received in the last report from the outside vendor and I filter each of the parameters by using a WITH statement and an INNER JOIN, as follows;
WITH Date_of_Most_Recent_Census AS
(
SELECT
MAX(Load_Date) AS [CurDate]
FROM
Census_Rpt_Final
)
[Code] ...
The default is for all parameters to start out with all possible values for the current load date. But, I need to be able to filter the available - and default - values for each parameter based upon the selection of the other parameters.
So, the Load Date is built in by use of the CTE that is a part of all the parameters. But, I need the report to allow the end user to select from each of the others, but limiting what is avaliable for selection based upon the settings of the other parameters.
For example, the second parameter is the Report Type. It can be either "Hospital," or "SNF." But, not all Clinics, Care Managers or PCPs may have an entry in both types. So, if the user selects, say, "Hospital," all the parameters would alter their available and default values such that they only include options where the census shows they are a "Hospital" entry.But, not all Clinics in the most recent census may have both report types. So, if the end user selects a particular clinic, it would also recalculate the available and default values for Report Type, as well as those beneath it on the list. And, likewise for the remainder of the parameters.
My initial thought was to add WHERE statements to the datasets controlling each parameter, but SSRS keeps asking me to define the parameters when I click out of the dataset's properties. Now, I know that SSRS is a single pass process - and, I'll cross the bridge on adjusting parameters defined earlier in the list when I come to it - but I thought that parameters lower in the list would update, since they'd have their values defined.For instance, the Clinic parameter is after Report Type, so the code I used to set up Clinic was;
WITH Date_of_Most_Recent_Census AS
(
SELECT
MAX(Load_Date) AS [CurDate]
FROM
Census_Rpt_Final
)
SELECT DISTINCT
[code]....
But, this asks me to define @ReportType, even though it precedes Clinic on the parameter list.
when i use a filter in report builder, it's not able to retrieve the information to populate the dropdown menu, the dropdown menu is empty. I get a triangle with exclamation mark and the following message and the drop down box is not being populated:
the requested list could not be retrieved because the query is not valid or connection could not be made to datasource
I am able to generate reports but not able to use filter. what could cause this issue ?

I am trying to use a wildcard in a Filter condition within a SSRS - Report Builder report.

I am new to report builder. I have created a report with a calculated cell that returns a true or false value based on a true or false value from another column (from a dataset field). I want to create a filter for the calculated field (which is a ReportItem), that will only show cells that are True.
I have tried several ways to add this filter, but each time, I get an error message saying that filter or sorting cannot be created for ReportItems.
Hi all, Hope someone can help me on this. I have a dataset from a stored Procedure which I am displaying on a table, I am using the option from the navigation tab "jump to report" from one of the Textboxes in the table. But I want to use the same set of data but filtered with the selected option on the table. I already have parameters for the Stored Procedure passing them to the "jump to report". But I just cannot figure out how to pass the set data set but filtered for my next report. Is there a way to do this.Or do I have to create another version filtered of the stored procedure used for the original. Ideally, it would be great to use the same dataset but filtered. Hope my question make sense. Thanks in advance jard

I have a problem with a parameter drop down that is on my report. On one report server (i.e. a SQL Server Reporting Server instance), the drop down data is ordered correctly. On another, it appears to be random.
The report is created using Report Builder v9.0.2047.0.
I have used SQL Server Profiler and I have found that an "order by" clause is appended on one of the report servers, while it is excluded on another.
About my Set-up
============
I have configured multiple report servers (i.e. SQL Server Reporting Server instances) on a single SQL Server 2005 instance. The SQL Server 2005 details are:
productversion = 9.00.3054.00
productlevel = SP2
edition = Standard Edition (64-bit)
Another post (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1379591&SiteID=1) puts this problem down to SP2. However, both my report servers are on the same SQL server instance.
I also see that Bob has a blog on a possible solution for this: http://blogs.msdn.com/bobmeyers/archive/2007/10/11/sorting-the-values-in-parameter-dropdowns-in-report-builder.aspx.
However, I would like to understand why the report is behaving differently.
In Report Builder, can you link prompt/filter fields to one another? For instance, I have Users and Groups and I want to dynamically fill the dropdown for Users based on the Group(s) chosen in the group prompt/filter. Or show the hierarchy as a expanding tree list for navigating the hierarchy to choose the user/groups to report on.
Another example would be product category & subcategory in adventure works.
And just to throw in a wrench, one of the areas I want to do this has 4 levels to the hierarchy.
Thanks for the help,

I 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!
