Numeric Or Time-scale Values Apparently Produce 2 Datasets?
Mar 30, 2008
Hi All,
I have developed few charts - line graphs - and have checked the Numeric or time-scale values on the X-Axis. Now, when the graphs come out, they appear to have two datasets. For example, if the X axis has values from 1st march to 14th March, then there will be a line from 1st March to 14th March, but additionally there will be another one, pointing to different datapoint, and again starts from 1st March and ends at 14th March. Whereas I think it is because of the Numeric or time-scale values selection, but I am not sure. Also, is there a particular way to interpret such graphs??
Thanks a lot, I would have loved to give a picture, but I think I cannot give it.. I did not find an option..
I have a line chart which works great except when the x axis displays duplicate months. I have tried format codes of MM-YYYY and MMM and have the "numeric or time-scale values" checkbox checked. The data displays fine but the X axis in the case of the MMM format code displays as:
Sep Oct Oct Nov Nov
leaving the user to wonder where exactly does October and November start...
I've googled around but don't see off-hand what I am doing wrong. I am display 3 simultaneous lines if that matters...
I have a varchar(len=9) field that I want to cast as numeric(9,2). Some of the field values are null but some have valid values (ie 1.00 or .05).
I am selecting data from one table and then updating a different table.
I have a select statement within an insert statement and then an update statement. I've tried a cast statement but not successfully. I get the following error.
[Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query "Exec sp_ESTLoadPOData" failed with the following error: "Error converting data type varchar to numeric.". Possible failure reasons:
Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
I have a stored procedure which will bring me back the Min, Max and Mean of different result sets. What I want to do with the Y-Axis is set the Min scale value of the chart to be Min -%5 and the Max scale value to be Max + 5%.
Is there a way to change the Y-Axis values at report run time without spitting my own RDL?
Hello, I need to know what means are available to change the Minimum and Maximum Y-Axis scale values rather than leave them simply as they are in the properties. Right now whatever min/max values I enter into the scale for the Y-Axis are unchangeable. I need to be able to change the min/max scale values based on the value of the data at run time.
I have one scenario where i have a sub table in main table where i m calling differnt data set than the dataset referiing to the main table. but its not displaying the the cuurrent fieild for the same , as i can diplay in the second table by '
First(Fields!CreatedBy.Value, "DataSet2"), but i need the current value frm data set not the first value
I have a table with data in two columns, item and system. I am trying to accomplish is we want to compare if an item exists in 1, 2 or all systems. If it exists, show item under that system's column, and display NULL in the other columns.
I have aSQL Fiddle that will allow you to visualize the schema.
The closest I've come to solving this is a SQL pivot, however, this is dependent on me knowing the name of the items, which I won't in a real life scenario.
select [system 1], [system 2], [system 3] from ( SELECT distinct system, item FROM test where item = 'item 1' ) x pivot ( max(item)

Is it possible to write a sql statement to skip aplpha numeric values? I got a field containing these values; 20, 70, 150, 140, 100, KORT, 90, 180, 160. And I'm trying to check if any value is bigger than 175 (@Limit), but I want to skip the value 'KORT'. So is it possible to check if a value is numeric or not? ISNULL( CONVERT(int, ProductVariant.Size), 0) > @Limit Regards, Sigurd
HI, Thanks in advance for taking your time to read this post. I am trying to write a SQL query using MS SQL 2005 that will read the value of a field and tell if it is alpha or numeric. I have tried the following but it does not work: select field1 from table1 where left(field1,2)='[0-9]' select field1 from table1 where isnumber(left(field1,2) tried with a =1 at the end and without and =1 at the end the goal is to read through a field and format it so if a field looks like this 12xxx111xx I can change it to look like 12-xxx-111-xx. Any help is greatly apprecaited
I have a field defined as varchar(8) but this field should not contain any letters, needs to be only numbers. How can I validate the data if it contains only numbers? Any ideas?
Hi, I have a little bit of a problem I cannot seem to figure it out. Is it possible to write a Select statement that contains a WHERE column_name > desired_numeric_value The tricky part it that the column is of CHAR type and can contain numeric grades ranging from 0-100 or the letter I for Incomplete. My SQL was working perfect when this column contained only numbers as soon as a record with I was added I get the following error: Character to numeric conversion error This report will be used to find students who have failing grades. Thanks for any help!
I am putting a SELECT statement together where I need to evaluate a results field, to determine how the color indicator will show on a SSRS report. I am running into a problem when I try to filter out any non-numeric values from a varchar field, using a nested CASE statement.
For example, this results field may contain values of '<1', '>=1', '1', '100', '500', '5000', etc. For one type of test, I need a value of 500 or less to be shown as a green indicator in a report, and any value over that would be flagged as a red. Another test might only allow a value of 10 or less before being flagged with a red.
This is why I setup a CASE statement for an IndicatorValue that will pass over to the report to determine the indicator color. Using CASE statements for this is easier to work with, and less taxing on the report server, if done in SQL Server instead of nested SSRS expressions, especially since a variety of tests have different result values that would be flagged as green or red.
I have a separate nested CASE statement that will handle any of the values that contain ">" or "<", so I am using the following to filter those out, and then convert it to an int value, to determine what the indicator value should be. Here is the line of the script that is erring out"
case when (RESULT not like '%<%') or (RESULT not like '%>%') then CASE WHEN (CONVERT(int, RESULT) between 0 and 500) THEN '2' ELSE '0'
The message I am getting is: Conversion failed when converting the varchar value '<1' to data type int.
I thought a "not like" statement would not include those values for converting to an int, but that does not seem to be working correctly. I did also try moving the not to show as "not RESULT like", and that did not change the message.
How I can filter out non-numeric values before converting the rest of the varchar field (RESULT) to int, so that it is only converting actual numbers?
It appears that the VFPOLEDB driver tries to convert numeric types in VFP to decimal types in .NET. In this case, it's a Numeric 9,3 in VFP and it's trying to put it into a decimal 8,3 in .NET.
I know that VFP has this funny quirk where if you don't use all of the decimal places after the decimal point, it allows you to use extras in front of the decimal point. In our case, the number is 104895.83 and yes, VFP is happy storing this in a Numeric 9,3 column.
When trying to read this in .NET, you get this message:
System.InvalidOperationException
The provider could not determine the decimal value. blah, blah, blah...
The question then is - is there a work-around? I can find no way to force .NET to use greater precision. About all I can come up with is to catch the exception and return a nice error message asking the user to make the column larger in VFP.
Here's the .NET code, thanks in advance
Mike
string sqlString = "SELECT * FROM " + Path.GetFileName(dbfFullPath);
OleDbConnection oleConn = new OleDbConnection("Provider=VFPOLEDB.1;Data Source=" +
folderName + ";Collating Sequence=MACHINE;");
OleDbCommand oleCmd = new OleDbCommand(sqlString, oleConn);
I have SSAS cube with Fact that include values in kg (e.g. 25.3, 32.5, 18,3...).What kind of attribute or other solution should I create If I want to filter those kg's in browser with integer values e.g.:weight between 10 and 25
I have a report which is redirecting to a subreport. The main report is having multi value parameter. I need to pass these multi values to sub report. Passing parameters from MDX report to T-sql report. So, I'm using the below exp.
=SPLIT(REPLACE(TRIM(Join(Parameters!Grade.Label,",")),", ",","),",") The value will look like this 01-Manger 02-Senior Mange 21-Associate 25-Associate Trainee
This is working for me in all the cases except one. In all other cases, the parameter's Label and Value field has same data in the sub report. But, in a specific parameter I'm getting Label and Value data are different. I'm getting an alpha numeric string value from MDX report , but I need to pass only the numeric values to the sub report since its value field contains only numeric value. The numeric value is coming at the starting of the string data. So I have used Mid()
Hi,I have a stored procedure which returns an integer indicating whether the operation has succeeded or failed. It does this by calling set @returnvalue = (0 or 1) then select @returnvalue as returnvalue in the stored procedure code. When I run the stored procedure, inputting a set of parameters as it expects, it does what it's supposed to do and outputs a table with a single row and a single column, called returnvalue, which has a value of either 1 or 0. When I run the stored procedure through a function in asp, using the exact same set of parameters, output the results as a data set and try and convert the return as an integer I get the following error: "Object Cannot be cast from DBNull from other types"The conversion code is ..return Convert.ToInt32(ds.Tables[0].Rows[0]["returnvalue"]);And if I change "returnvalue" to anything else (like "wibble" for example) then I get a different error telling me it can't find the column named "wibble". So the dataset definitely contains a table with a column in it called returnvalue, as you expect. But it's value is, apparently, DBNull instead of an integer.How come this works when called directly through SQL and fails when called through ASP? Can anyone help? This is really doing my head in!Cheers,Matt
I have a problem with our Reporting Services. The error says:
Login failed for user 'user'. [CLIENT: <local machine> ] Error: 18456, Severity: 14, Stage: 16.
I read here http://blogs.msdn.com/sql_protocols/archive/2006/02/21/536201.aspx that State 16 means the user has no permission to log into the target database. So I went and tried it the hardcore way, giving this user all roles under "Server Roles" and all Database roles for the two ReportServer and the two CRM databases, hoping it would work and I could strip it down again.
No luck, no login and still the same error.
At http://host/Reports I have set the connection string to:
Data Source=host;Initial Catalog=Company AG_MSCRM
I found that in a KB article, so I assume the Initial Catalog should be this database.
Anyway, is there an option I'm missing where I have to give the user additional permissions to successfully login? What irritates me is that I can login with this user using SQL Server Management Studio and browse the tables of the DBs I mentioned above.
The server authentication is currently set to Windows authentication mode.
I'm using SSIS 2005 Enterprise edition, I'm creating a package that reads an excel (xls) file using the "excel source" component, and it dumps the data into an OLEDB destination (a sql server). When I drag the excel source component and create the excel connection to my file the component automatically reads the columns and their datatypes.
The problem is that I have a column which has numeric data and the package uploads as NULL every number that starts with a zero. (note: in excel this column is formatted as "text", despite it has only numbers, because it's the only way excel maintains the left sided zeros).
So I checked the data types by right clicking the excel source component -> show advanced editor and my surprise is that this column's data type is detected as double-precision float, and it doesn't let me change it. URL... but it only works when the first row of data has a number beginning with zero on this column. How to get the data imported correctly?
