There are many business users in my office who would like an AD HOC reporting system. I am not in a position to install the entire suite and check it out myself. I have seen some presentations and i like the tool for the most part ...I have some questions if anyone can help....
1. Can the user specify more than one condition in the filter. Like Name = X AND Address = Y AND Job = Z
2. Can the users sort on more than one column ?
3. Can the users group by on more than one column. Nested grouping ?
I'm wondering if is is even possible in SSRS 2005....
Let's say a user opens up a report which has 10 columns nad the result set consists of 1000 rows. What they would like to do is to be ale to build a dynamic filter and apply it to the original report...
For example, our data is all user data. The report returns all 1000 customers. The users then want to be able to create a filter on let's say "last name is Johnson" and their state is MD and their account is more than 30 days old.
This is easily done in the dataset properties prior to run-time, but can this be done "on-the-fly"?
Hello SQL Server Experts, Data Analysts, and Report Writers et al:
re: Reporting Options with SQL Server
I wanted to propose an offshoot to the pryor thread:
Would anyone take a stab at comparing Access Reports, Crystal Reports, Cognos or other options to all the Reporting Services and its components offered as part ofSQL Server, especially as to extracting data from SQL Server into a report format?
I guess this is a far as capabilites, ease of use, limitations, and especially formatting or presentation of the end report product?
Thank you to all, and I hope this is a beneficial discussion to others.
I have an already published application running several MS SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services report. I need a way to find from either the reporting services log or the application server (IIS) logs or windows log to know the frequency of each report being used.
Based on this info, the business needs to know which reports are being used and to what extend? How can I acheive this?
I have already got the IIS logs and it did not give the required info. I have looked into the Reporting Services logs but it does not provide the info either.

My issue is with converting multi-value parameters:
In Crystal Reports, you can set a parameter to accept multiple vales (Discrete, Range or Discrete and Range).
As an example:
I have a database table with a column called ID. I can create a parameter called param_id and set the options of the parameter to "Allow multiple range values".
With this setup, I can limit the result set of the report by comparing the param_id parameter to the ID column in the database. Because param_id is a multi-value range parameter, I can pass it the following data: 1 - 50 60 - 80 150 - 127
This will only return results within those ranges.
Does anyone know if SSRS provides this kind of functionality?
Is there a way to copy reports from other users "My reports" folder? I am logging onto the management studio reporting services using an administrative account and I am able to view the reports from all users' "My Reports" folder. But I am not able to export them as an rdl file. I am able to export reports from other common folders, but not from the "My Reports" folder.
The reason I need to do this is some of the users have created some reports in one environment and the reports are available in their respective "My Reports" folder. I need to move these reports to their corresponding "My Reports" folder in another environment.
1. I downloaded ChartFXRSTrial and created one chart, and able to deploy it in ReportServer, but the problem is the reports are not showing there, i checked the configuration of .dll files in the help provided by chartFX, but couldn't get anything, so could help me on this.
2. How to give Tooltip for the X- axis or Y- axis values in the ReportServer , i tried using chartproperties of .rdl file, but didnt understand it. can help me on this, and one more i tried with Dundas too, If im giving tooltip as #valy then, it is showing samething in reportserver instead the values of 'Y-axis'.
I need help with filtering a specific set of numbers. I have a Sql database that is connected to my sql report I have created a tsql statement that pulls a clients name, PO, and invoice number. The prblem I am having is I have 2 different types of invoice numbers one number looks like 123456-1234-T the other looks like 123455-1234-L I need to beable to pull only the invoices with T on one report and L on another report can some on show me how I can sort these in a tsql script
This may be simple, but I can't figure a way to do this. I have the following data returned to a table and need to sum only the items where HDMethod=0 in the table footer. For some reason, something like:
=Sum(Iif(Fields!HDMethod.Value=0, Fields!BDExtended.Value, Nothing)) returns all the rows. There is a LEFT OUTER JOIN: dbo.[Billing Detail].Item = dbo.[History Detail].Item between the tables touched in the query if that helps.
a text input for filtering a gridview that displays the data an SqlDataSource that contains the query. Users can either enter something into the text input or leave it blank. Depending on that, the gridview should either display all data (unfiltered, because nothing was entered into the text field) or filtered data (when something is entered). Now my problem is in defining the query in the SqlDataSource. I could do something like this: SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE myField = @p1; and then add in the appropriate <asp:ControlParameter /> under the <SelectParameters> tag. However, this sorta "fixes" the filter. Regardless of whether users actually type something in or not, the filter is in effect. I want it in such a way that if users do not type in anything, the query essentially becomes: SELECT * FROM myTable; Is there any way to achieve this? Thanks in advance, jason
I'm not sure if this is possible and have been having trouble figuring out the code to do this. I am assigning row_number to a gridview. I then want to filter the results with a dropdown. I am able to get the filter to filter the status but it either renumbers the gridview or it leaves the row numbers blank. Is there a way to have the row_numbers stick to the gridview when I filter? Example below. Thanks Normal:IssueNumber(row_number), Status1, Open2, Open3, Closed4, Open5, Closed "Open" Filter:IssueNumber(row_number), Status1, Open2, Open4, Open "Closed" Filter:IssueNumber(row_number), Status3, Closed5, Closed
Why is Select * from [Merchandise] where [Product Name] like '[ABCD]%'the same as Select * from [Merchandise] where [Product Name] between 'A' and 'D'I can run Select * from [Merchandise] where [Product Name] like 'A%'and get Products that start with the letter "A" but they don't show up when I try to get all "A","B","C","D" Products.
I think I might be missing something here. Here is what I'd like to do:1. Retrieve a list of data from SQL Server.2. Display that data in a gridview.3. Have the user click on a button to then see a subset of that data. (filtering) I can't seem to make this work. When the user clicks the button, I need the GridView to update to show only the specified data. In 1.1 I would created a DataView for the filtering, but am trying to use the latest and greatest. I've seen examples online of people using DropDownLists to act as the dynamic filter parameter. How can I programatically assign this to make it work?Thanks!
Our current method of limiting what data a user can see is implemented solely through our Web based business intelligence tools. No filtering is enabled at the database level. This has become somewhat cumbersome as security is tied exclusively to these tools. The tools use one common logon to access the underlying database.
I would like to implement security at the database level (SQL Server 2000) and thereby produce a more flexible/portable solution. I was thinking of setting up individual database accounts for each user and then tying these into our company structure table by passing system_user result to a constraint.
For example System User name 'Store 2' would reference Store '2' in the structure table. Depending on the user, different columns will need to be referenced to filter the rows. A store user would be validated against the store column, an Area Manager user would be validated against the Area Manager column and Head Office users would not be valiadated at all i.e. they are not filtered.
1) What is the best method to implement such a look up. Can or should I use Check constraints for such a solution?
2) Would a UDF be useful?
Any ideas on the best approach to take would be greatly appereciated.
I'm new to SQL Server so if the following sounds stupid then apologies. I am trying to design a query which compares columns and filters according to the result of the comparison. We are a UK based charity that provides financial help to families with disabled children (www.familyfund.org.uk). We have a large database (250,000 entries) which we know contains some duplicate/split files from a recent migration. We need to identify these files but not delete them. Currently I am using the following:
SELECT dbo.Families.famId, dbo.Address.street, dbo.Children.childId, dbo.Address.postcode FROM dbo.Children INNER JOIN dbo.Families ON dbo.Children.family_no = dbo.Families.famId INNER JOIN dbo.Persons ON dbo.Families.famId = dbo.Persons.famId INNER JOIN dbo.Address ON dbo.Persons.addressId = dbo.Address.addressId WHERE (NOT (dbo.Children.eligStatus IN (3, 4))) GROUP BY dbo.Children.childId, dbo.Address.postcode, dbo.Families.famId, dbo.Address.street HAVING (dbo.Address.street IS NOT NULL) ORDER BY dbo.Address.street
Obviously this returns all 250,000 records and then we have to search manually. We would like to run a query which compares families.famID to address.street so that where famId has more than one address attched it is returned to the results grid. Does this make sense? is it possible? Any help would be gratefully received
if you notice on the 8 and 9th rows the only difference between them is in the E column(0 and 1). What I am trying to do here is to display all with max(E). So in the above example, I should display rows 1-7,9,10 (8th row will not display because the 9th row has 1 in the E column). this is the query I have been using on SQL Server 2000 but I keep on displaying all the rows:
SELECT A,B,C,D,max(E) FROM <table> WHERE ( A = '012345A' ) AND ( B >= '01/01/2001' ) AND ( C <= '01/31/2001' ) GROUP BY A, B, C, D
ok, i'm building a page to display a list of courses, a user rating and 'last visited' date.
I have 3 tables - course (a list of all courses) review (a list of all ratings) visit (user visits to each course)
I've put together an SQL statment that returns everything i need, however its not quite right. SELECT course.courseID, course.courseName, course.courseURL, avg(review.fldRating) AS fldAverage, visit.visitDate FROM course
LEFT OUTER JOIN review ON course.courseId = review.fldcourseId
LEFT OUTER JOIN visit ON course.courseId = visit.courseId and visit.userId = 2
GROUP BY course.courseId, course.courseName, course.courseURL, visit.visitDate ORDER BY course.courseId, visit.visitDate DESC
The problem lies with the fact that each time a user enters a course a new record is inserted into the visit table - so the visit table will show how many times a user has entered a course and on which dates.
because the user has entered course 1 twice, the list is now showing 2 course1's - how can I change the statemtent to only select the most recent user visit, but still keep the complete list of courses?
I'm a bit of an SQL novice, so appologies if I've not explained this very well, Thanks in advance,
Hi, This is a really complicated issue and is hard to explain but i have the following:
select name, MAX(table2.time) from table1 INNER JOIN table2 on table1.id = table2.id GROUP BY name
which is fine and brings up the correct results but if I want to find out from those records what another field is in table 2 for each record it pulls up too many results (i want just the one result from table 2 and then find what user it is)
if I do..
select name, table2.username MAX(table2.time) from table1 INNER JOIN table2 on table1.id = table2.id GROUP BY name, table2.username
.. it pulls up too many results cos there are different usernames
if i dont group by table2.username then it give an error
Hello I am trying to gilter a table by getdate() (i also tried now()) but I cannot seem to be able to do it I place my code below if anyone can help. am grateful, my db is sql 2005.

Expression: =Fields!PRACTICE_ID.Value Operator: = Value: 20 and get this error: The comparison failed. Check the data type returned by filter expression.
Practice_id has int data type. How else can I check the data type returned by filter expression?
I tried to filter on table level the same way, and get the same error. Could anybody help, please, to make it work?
