Need Help On A Reporting Query
Jun 12, 2008
I adopted a site that stores items in a database that have a date associated with when those items were developed. However, it wasn't stored as an actual date, but rather a jumble of characters from which you can infer atleast the quarter. Thing is, there is no standard length, but I know I always want the last 5 characters. The format looks something like this:
ab_q1_03
The "ab" could be various lengths of whatever characters. "q1_03" means the first quarter of 2003, and this information will always be the last 5 characters of this column. I'd like to get a count of items for each quarter, but I'm not exactly sure how to group that. Any ideas?

Hello everybody,
I'm developing a report using the following structure :
declare @sql as nvarchar(4000)
declare @where as nvarchar(2000)
set @sql = 'select ....'
If <conditional1>
begin
set @where = 'some where'
end
If <conditional2>
begin
set @where = 'some where'
end
set @sql = @sql + @where
exec(@sql)
I run it in query analyser and works fine, but when I try to run in Reporting Services, Visual studio stops responding and the cpu reaches 100 %.
I realize that when I cut off the if clauses, then it works at Reporting services.
Does anybody know what is happening?
Why the query works in query analyser and doesn't work in Reporting Service ?
Thanks,
Maurício

im using reporting services to genarate a report and its calling S.Procedure to get the results. When i ran this report from the report server, it took about 10 mins to generate it. but when i ran the same SP in query analyzer it took only 1 second. Reporting server is on different box and database on different ( separate boxes) when i check the performance monitor (in Database box) its gone high when the report is running(for about 10 mins)
How can i optimized the same query for reporting ?
Thanks.

I have created a report that lists a work request ID, work type, short description and the engineer that is assigned to the request. All the information about the requests are in the Request table. I want the user to be able to click on the work request ID (1002) and see the entire record. I cannot come up with an SQL query that will display the specific work request. I know select * from Request will show everything in the table but how do I pull only the information for ID 1002? Thanks.
Work Request ID

Short Description

Although not totally related to this RS cat but since I'm using the query in Reporting Services perhaps I can get a work around from someone. I've created a Rolling 2 year 12 month comparison report that compare sales figures from current and previous years. The query works fine however the query fails to return 0's for no sales for a particular month with no records. Is there anyway I can return a 0 instead. As you can see I tried "isNull to no avail.
Query==========>
SELECT Customer.Country, MetaDates.Month, MetaDates.Year, isnull(SUM(Order_Line_Invoice.Sales),0) AS Sales, SUM(Order_Line_Invoice.Cost) AS Cost,
SUM(Order_Line_Invoice.Sales) - SUM(Order_Line_Invoice.Cost) AS GM, 'Current 12 Months' AS yearNum
FROM Order_Line_Invoice INNER JOIN
Customer ON Order_Line_Invoice.CustId = Customer.CustId INNER JOIN
MetaDates ON Order_Line_Invoice.InvoiceDate = MetaDates.Date LEFT OUTER JOIN
Product ON Order_Line_Invoice.ProdId = Product.ProdId
WHERE (Customer.country = @GroupByFieldFilter) and (Order_Line_Invoice.InvoiceDate BETWEEN dateadd(m, datediff(m, 0, DATEADD(month,-11,@EndDate) ), 0) AND @EndDate)
GROUP BY MetaDates.Year, MetaDates.Month, Customer.country
UNION
SELECT Customer.Country , MetaDates.Month, MetaDates.Year, isnull(SUM(Order_Line_Invoice.Sales),0) AS Sales, SUM(Order_Line_Invoice.Cost) AS Cost,
SUM(Order_Line_Invoice.Sales) - SUM(Order_Line_Invoice.Cost) AS GM, 'Previous 12 Months' AS yearNum
FROM Order_Line_Invoice INNER JOIN
Customer ON Order_Line_Invoice.CustId = Customer.CustId INNER JOIN
MetaDates ON Order_Line_Invoice.InvoiceDate = MetaDates.Date LEFT OUTER JOIN
Product ON Order_Line_Invoice.ProdId = Product.ProdId
WHERE (Customer.country = @GroupByFieldFilter) and (Order_Line_Invoice.InvoiceDate BETWEEN dateadd(m, datediff(m, 0, DATEADD(month,-23,@EndDate) ), 0) AND dateadd(m, datediff(m, 0, DATEADD(month,-11,@EndDate) ), -1))
GROUP BY MetaDates.Year, MetaDates.Month, Customer.country
order by MetaDates.Year, MetaDates.Month asc
End Query=========>
Any help would be much appreciated.

hi guys, im having a sql problem for reporting here. here is the table
CREATE TABLE `tblasset` (
`AssetID` int(11) NOT NULL,
`AssetName` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`AssetID`)
);
INSERT INTO `tblasset` (`AssetID`, `AssetName`) VALUES
(1, 'IPOD'),
(2, 'Laptop'),
(3, 'Sony PS3'),
(4, 'Wooden Cupboard'),
(5, 'Fridge');
CREATE TABLE `tblassetplacement` (
`PlacementID` int(11) NOT NULL,
`LocationID` int(11) NOT NULL,
`AssetID` int(11) NOT NULL,
`PlacementDate` bigint(20) NOT NULL,
`OfficerInChargeID` varchar(50) DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`PlacementID`)
);
INSERT INTO `tblassetplacement` (`PlacementID`, `LocationID`, `AssetID`, `PlacementDate`, `OfficerInChargeID`) VALUES
(1, 3, 1, 1209628156, 'John'),
(2, 6, 1, 1209800956, 'Susan'),
(3, 3, 3, 1209714556, 'Erik'),
(4, 4, 3, 1210405756, 'Albert'),
(5, 5, 3, 1211096956, 'Fred');
CREATE TABLE `tbllocation` (
`LocationID` int(11) NOT NULL,
`LocationName` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
`ParentID` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`LocationID`),
KEY `ParentID` (`ParentID`)
);
INSERT INTO `tbllocation` (`LocationID`, `LocationName`, `ParentID`) VALUES
(1, 'Building A', NULL),
(2, 'Building B', NULL),
(3, 'Room 1', 1),
(4, 'Room 2', 1),
(5, 'Partition 1', 4),
(6, 'Room 1', 2);
basically the location looks like this
Location Tree View
---
.___ Building A
. .___ Room 1
. .___ Room 2
. .___ Partition 1
.
.___ Building B
. .___ Room 1
on tblAssetPlacement, the column PlacementDate is a unix timestamp stored as bigint.
the higher of its value means it is the latest placement.
so i had created a sql to pull the data like this:
SELECT
tblasset.AssetName,
tblassetplacement.OfficerInChargeID,
tblassetplacement.Locationid,
tbllocation.LocationName
FROM
tblasset,tblassetplacement, tbllocation,
(select tblassetplacement.AssetID,tblassetplacement.LocationID,MAX(tblassetplacement.PlacementDate) AS LatestDate from tblassetplacement group by tblassetplacement.AssetID) temptbl
where
tblasset.AssetID = tblassetplacement.AssetID
and tblassetplacement.PlacementDate = temptbl.LatestDate
and tblassetplacement.AssetID = temptbl.AssetID
and tbllocation.LocationID=tblassetplacement.LocationID
;
this will output:
---
AssetNameOfficerInChargeIDLocationIDLocationName
IPODSusan6Room 1
Sony PS3Fred5Partition 1
i would need to have a column ParentLocationName that directly shows the name of the parent's location as below:
---
AssetNameOfficerInChargeIDLocationIDLocationNameParentLocationName
IPODSusan6Room 1Building B
Sony PS3Fred5Partition 1Building A
is there a way to pull the parent's location name in one sql syntax?

I have a process that stores a machine status every 2 minutes in a bit field of an SQL database. Running = True, Stopped = False. I am trying to build a report that shows the percent run time every hour. This information would be the count of Trues divided by the total count for each hour. I can select and group the data on the hour but I can either count() the total number of readings or count() the number of readings where the status is true. How do I collect both pieces of information in the same data collection?
SELECT TOP (100)
Max(Time) As Time_M,
Count(Running) As Count_T
FROM Compact10
Group by DatePart(mm,Time), DatePart(dd,Time), DatePart(hh,time)
Order by DatePart(mm,Time) desc, DatePart(dd,Time) desc, DatePart(hh,time) desc

Just a general question about any recommendations for a third party tool that would allow setting up a data-dictionary against SQL Server tables and a user could go in and build their own queries, reports. Perhaps they could save their query/report definitions for reuse. Other nice to haves - ability to output to PDF and export to XLS. Would prefer web interface, but can consider desktop as well. Any immediate recommendations?
Thanks.

Hi all,
I need to change the default member of my Time dimension according to a parameter received by a report in Reporting Services. When I code the MDX query I can't seem to be able to begin my statement with an ALTER CUBE to set the default dimension. It seems I can only do a SELECT..FROM..WHERE query.
Does anyone know how to set the default member of a dimension in a report ??
Many thanks,
John

I recently changed my datasource in our Reporting Service Model. We changed to a quicker SQL server with disk capacity. I am able to run new reports but when I try to run old ones that were on the old datasource, I get an error. The datasource has been changed to point to the new server (datasource).
The error is: An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
Semantic query compilation failed: e EmptySemanticQuery The SemanticQuery does not contain any Groupings or MeasureGroups. SemanticQuery must contain at least one of these elements. (SemanticQuery ''). (rsSemanticQueryEngineError)
I will appreciate any help.

I have a query where:
WHERE a.jobdate >=GETDATE()-1
This brings though data from today and yesterday; I understand this is because GETDATE = now.
However, all I want is to see is data from today only.
Is there any way the above query can be amended - probably not using GETDATE - so I can achieve this?

In my SELECT query I have: MIN(a.orderdue) AS 'Oldest order date'
This works in that it brings through the oldest order date, however it brings through a date format like: 2015-06-11 11:30.000
So I amended the SELECT query to:
MIN (CONVERT(varchar(17),a.orderdue,103)) AS 'Oldest order date'
This brings the date through as 11/06/2015, which is preferable.
But I have noticed that doing this has affected the output: the MIN function no longer returns the first (oldest) date, but a completely different value.
Obviously my changing the formatting for the date has affected the MIN output. Is there any way I can amend the formatting of the date without this happening?

I was wondering on a question that : exporting a report to xlsx is feature of SSRS server or of Report viewer control itself.I have multiple report servers (eg 2008 R2, 2012 and 2014) . I am using a windows application and reportviewer version 9.0.So when I use report server 2008 R2 its not showing the xlsx export option but working fine with other report servers.Again I changed the control to 11.0 (also 12.0) and checked the same scenario and same results with Reporting server 2008 R2 but working fine with 2012 and 2014. if its worth to change the Report Viewer control or just changing the server is okay to achieve the functionality of exporting to xlsx.

I have a report that prompts the user to select a parameter, for simplicity, let's say the parameter is for color choice, options are Red, Yellow, Blue or *. The * is for include all colors. I am passing that parameter back to the dataset query which, again for simplicity is
select
Hue from AvailableColors
whereColor
= @ColorParam.
For a specific color this works fine, for the "*" selection it returns a null. It would seem that I need to convert the * to % but I am not sure how.....

Is it possible to use a parameter in a ldap query using the ADsDSOObject provider? I keep getting an error "The ICommandWithParameters interface is not supported by the "ADSDSOObject" provider". Command parameters are unsupported with the current provider.
I don't have a linked server on my DB server to Active Directory so I'm just querying in the SSRS report design. Here is my query for my dataset. If I hard code an example it works. Just doesn't work when I pass a parameter. I've tried making it an expression (= sign), Tried several syntax's, Tried everything I can think of. Is this possible? or do I just need to push for a linked server?

"FROM 'LDAP://DC=xxxx,DC=xx,DC=xx,DC=xx,DC=xx,DC=xx' " +

50.00
0.50
0.00
0.00
To be displayed in the below format
1.25
0.75
0
0
1
I have to map this column in teh report and should dipslay like above.I think if 0.00 is available then it should display as 0..If 1.0 is available then it should display 1.Any value that has postive number after the decimal should display all the values example : 2.25,3.75,5.06, So in general the solution to display values like 1.75,1,0 we should not dispaly 0 as 0.00 and 1 as 1.00 and 2 as 2.00 and so on...Any Solutions in terms of SQL query or SSRS expression.

So I have a report that uses an MDX query to fetch the main data for the tablix. Then I have a custom row added which pulls data in via a Lookup function and references a different dataset. The report has 3 parameters. Each dataset uses those 3 parameters in its underlying query. However, the dataset referenced in the lookup function doesnt seem to be updating when change the parameters and re-run the report.
