Question On How To Display Data In This Unique Situation Using Matrix.....
Mar 16, 2007
Hi guys,
Man I do come up with strange scenarios, but that is the joy of working in software field right ? ;-)
First off, thanks to anyone taking their time to read this, and Ihope this post paints a clearer picture better than my previous posts.
I have an old stored procedure (which I didn't create) that produces a dataset of the following:-
((All names and values had been changed to protect confidentiality))
region agent_type mailpackage1 mailpackage2 mailpackage3
New York Agenttype1 2000 2300 0
New York Agenttype2 0 0 5
New York Agenttype3 150 2 4000
Central Agenttype2 1234 5678 9
Central Agenttype4 435 1 0
MidWest Agenttype1 555 0 0
West Agenttype1 1 45 0
West Agenttype2 0 2 3
A little bit of explanation:-
Each region can have any type of agents, specified by the number to distinguish different agent types. these agent types mail specific packages to their customers depending on the situation and what the customers asked for. the numbers in each mail package indicate the total that had been sent out by a particular type of an agent. So in this case we are not dealing wtih how many agents are there, just how many packages had been sent out by a specific type of an agent in a region.
Previously the report was produced like you would see in the above dataset. However the client would want it the other way around. Though I didn't show it here, there are plenty of other packages but I am picking three for clarity sake.
So the "new" Report would have to look something like this.
---------- break Page -------------------- and so on
I had created a table in the RS that looked like the above with expressions written into the each cell that holds a value. The expression is
=IIF(Fields!agent_type = "AgentType1", mailpackage1.Value, Cint(0)) in the first row, first column of the table.
=IIF(Fields!agent_type = "AgentType1", mailpackage2.Value, Cint(0)) in the second row, first column of the table.
=IIF(Fields!agent_type = "AgentType1", mailpackage3.Value, Cint(0)) in the third row, First column of the table.
And so on....... alternating between agent_type and mailpackage for each cell.
Grouping1: Group by Region, insert page after each group.
What happened was the following:- ((I am putting the first region, because it is also happening for the other regions too)
(on a side note, this region didn't print out AgentType4 because there were no data associated with it)
The question is, is there anything else I could have done to prevent this ? as you can see, the data is correct and placed in their right cells but somehow, they won't join together. I got a feelin that it has something to do with the expression that I had put in each cell.
Can someone help or point me in the right direction ? This is really bothering me and I couldn't figure out why it was doing this. Couldnt find any links or maybe i am putting in the wrong keywords in the search. Thanks muchly !
I have a matrix within a list and would like to display a field value in the page footer on each page. In the page footer, if I reference a textbox from the matrix the value is always blank? I realize this is most likely a scoping issue but how can I accomplish this?
My stored procedure give me top 3 activities. My SSRS report design, I am able to display first activity when I select the Activity field from the Stored procedure, how to display 3 activities for each category.. Also I need a solution to sort the categories based on the requirement below.
I have a matrix contained inside a rectangle. When the report is published, a fraction of the last column of matrix is stripped out, about 0.2 cm of it. When I hit Refresh, the report renders properly displaying the last matrix column in its entirety. Any ideas why its doing that?
Hi, I am creating a matrix and adding multiple row groups. The problem is that I am unable to display headers for each of these groups - can anyone help??
I have a matrix report within a list so it functions as a report with dynamic columns.
Matrix a:
a b c d e
x 1 2 4 9 12 <NEED SUBTOTAL across Columns for row x>
y 6 2 4 5 9 <<NEED SUBTOTAL across Columns for row y>
TOTAL <need totals going down rows and need a grand total>
Remember the number of rows and columns are dynamic so I have NO CLUE how to add a column and display it if and only all the columns have been displayed ...sort of like a COLUMN and ROW footer for a matrix report.
I've created a simple greenbar matrix using the tips suggested by Chris Hays. In Visual Studio the row totals display with the correct alternating background color, but when viewing the report via the web, the report does not render any background color for the totals?
I've attached a rough example (I trimmed out a couple of colums, so don't try to add up the column values displayed with the total value). As you can see, the values for the Total column do not get shaded, even though in VS2005 it shows the Total column shading the rows correctly.
200707 200708 200709 Total

I know how to explicitly set the various properties of the totals value field (i.e, click on the little green triangle to set the properties of totals), but I can't figure out how to make it dynamic. Trying to reference ReportItems!ColorTextbox.value generates scope error.s
Is it possible to create Expand/Collapse functionality for the grouped data in Table and Matrix data regions? Essentially, the idea is for the user to be able to see the group/subgroup data if she wishes to by clicking on (+/-) symbols, as is usually the case in Tree View style data grid control in web apps. Any ideas how to accomplish the same in reporting services?
This probably has been addressed before but I was unable to get the search to work properly on this site. I am needing a script/way of deleting all rows from a DB with the exception of one record left for each row that has duplicate column data. Example : Row 1 Field1 = 12345 Field2 =xxxxx Field 3=yyyyy Field4=zzzzz etc. Row 2 Field1 = 12345 Field2 =zzzzzz Field 3=xxxxxx Field4=yyyyyy etc. Row3 Field1 = 12345 Field2 =20202 Field 3=11111 Field4=zzzzz etc. Row 4 Field1 = 54321 Field2 =xxxxx Field 3=yyyyy Field4=zzzzz etc. Etc. Etc.
I want to be able to find the duplicates for Field1 and then delete all but 1 of those rows.( I don't care which one I keep just so only one is left.) The data in the other fields may or may not be unique.
I know how to find the duplicates it's just the deleting part I am having problems with. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks,
But while I use matrix to build this report, I got the result like:
M1
M2
Project1
Info1
Info3
Project2
Info4
Info5
Project3
Info6
The report will not show the multiple records on the row group "Project" like item "Info2".
After I referred to the similar problem mentioned on this forums, I tried to use "RowNumber("Matrix1_Project")" to resolve it. But still I got the result like:
M1
M2
Project1
RowNumer
Info1
RowNumer
Info1
RowNumer
Info3
Project2
RowNumer
Info4
RowNumer
Info5
Project3
RowNumer
Info6
It would be much appreciated if anyone could give me some hints to complete the report I need.
I have data for online catalogue in SQL 7.0. The web grogrammer asked me to add a unique key for reference. I used int datatype with identity seed of 1 and increment of 1. This works fine BUT when I try to import new data I get an error because the csv file has no column and therefore no value for the unique field which will not allow null by definition.
How can I maintain a unique field to act as primary key in my data when I want to add (and delete) data that doesn't have this field.
I tried adding the uniqueidentifier field but this gives error message.
The only work round is to delete the unigue field altogether and then add the new data and afterwards create a new unique field. At 600000 + lines of data, this is time and memory consuming
I am trying to get data as it is available in the table but every time I run sql statement it shows in asending order. How can I avoid this asending order situation?
I am relatively new to this and trying to make my database as efficient as possible.
Here is the situation. In my database, there are multiple "stocks" that each have a "pricing history". When something happens that changes the price of the stock, an entry containing information about the time the change occured, who changed it, etc. is added.
I have many stocks. The information of these stocks is independant in the sense that I never really need to grab/compare information about two stocks at once. I only look at one stock at a time.
So, do I set up a "pricing history" table for every single stock (pricinghist1,pricinghist2,etc.)? Or do I set up one "pricing history" table it and index the table by stock number?
Are these equivilant? Is one more efficient than the other?
(1) I have 2 packages that run independently of eachother. (2) Both are scheduled in SQLServer Agent Jobs as separate jobs. (3) Job A is scheduled to run every 12 hours and Job B is scheduled to run every 10 minutes. (4) However, I want to prevent Job B from running if Job A happens to be running. (5) It is unknown exactly how long Job A will take to finish so I can't schedule Job B around it.
The way I wanted to approach this situation is as follows.
Within Job A's package, create a "marker" file when the package starts and delete it when the package finishes. So the existence of this marker file will tell Job B's package if it should run or not.
The concept is simple, but I'm not sure how to implement this.
For example, to create the marker file, I would use a File System Task, but I don't see an option in there to "create file". (However, I do see an option for "delete file".) Also, what task would I use in Job B's package to check if the marker file exists.
Lastly, If you have better approach, I would like to hear about it.
I'm creating a database for a new application and I'm currently facing a design problem, regarding a business requierment for the membership module.
The Membership Module of the application has several business requierments, specified by the client. One of them is the ability to add and remove details about their members. So far, I've created a schema, named Person, which will contain a number of tables responsible for everything related with the membership, as an individual.
To help you guys understand the design I'm trying to implement, I'll post the fields of two of the tables that belong to the Person schema, as follows:
So far so good. This design works great to preserve the data integrety. Nonetheless, this is where the problems start. Now, imagin you need to let someone from that company add an item to the user (through the application). Let's say we want to allow the company application manager to add an item to the person called "PreviousEmployer". Such item would then be used for statics, thus would probably need to be indexed.
In order to meet this business requierment I would create some addicional tables. Let's get started:
Person.CustomFields
Id (uniqueidentifier)
Name (nvarchar(50))
Description (nvarchar(3000)) [NULLABLE]
Status (bit)
Person.CustomField_Value
FieldId (uniqueidentifier)
Value (nvarchar(450))
This could work just fine if both are indexed (that's why the nvarchar size is set to 450). But I'm guessing this is far from the optimal solution for many reasons, one of them being the efficiency of the index if the company decides to go and use this for a flag (true or false [bit]). Another "solution" breaking scenario would be if the company wants to add the CV of the person, situation in which we were unlikely to be able to add a file in this datafield.
How would you guys approach this issue? The bottom line is that the client needs to be able to add pretty mcuh any type of custom field and perform searches againts it. So, besides being a dynamic solution it needs to be efficient.
I am creating a DTS package that is combining several tables, converting one column of data to a new column removing all special characters, then exporting the unique data based on this column and another column, and the max of other duplicates to a new table.
Now that I have the data in this table, I want to import any data that is not in my main table.
This "CLEANED" table does not have a designated "key" column, but the table I want to import the unique items does have an ID column that is also a primary key column.
DTS seems to want me to have a Key column to reference when importing from the CLEANED table to the MAIN table.
How would I go about checking the MAIN table against the CLEANED table, having DTS import only the unique items from the CLEANED table that are not present in the MAIN table based on three columns? The rest of the columns I want to just extract the MAX data from the duplicates.
Now here is the query I use to extract the unique values from the "CLEANING" table to get the data to the "CLEANED" table, but do not know how to use this to import into the MAIN table using something similar.
Code:
select partno2, MAX (partno) as partno, alt, MAX (C_alt) as C_alt, Max (cmpycd) as cmpycd, MAX (type) as type, compFN, MAX (pndesc) as pndesc, MAX (equipment) as equipment
into tbl_CLEANED from tbl_CLEANING group by partno2, alt, compFN ORDER BY partno, compFN
The three main columns I need to check against are: partno2 alt compFN I have named the columns the same in both tables.
partno2 is the column that has been copied from partno with all special characters & spaces removed. This is the main column I am using as a reference for unique values, then if no match, I have it check against the alt column, then the comFN column. If there are no matches in any of these columns, then I want to extract the data to the MAIN table.
How can I compare these tables and import only unique info to the MAIN table?
In addition, how can I also check items that are the same in both tables and update the MAX info for the other columns (not the three I use for reference - these I need to leave alone) and update those if there is more data in the CLEANED table then in the MAIN table?
Hi, I have the following tables: Categories {Category_ID, Column2, ...} Articles { Article_ID, Category_FK, Column3, ...} Discussions {Discussion_ID, Article_FK, Column3, ...} Now, all what I have is just category_ID value (Let us say 3), how can I do cascade delete to delete category's record that its ID = 3 and delete all articles and all discussions that found in that category?
I have a very urgent situation and to do with SQL Server 6.5, cannot start and the error message I got was: Initdata: Suballocation for buffer pages failed (838860 Bytes requested. Can anyone help me urgent matter.
I need help on reproducing a deadlock. The sample that I have so far is only creating blocking and it never deadlocks. It's because I'm not sure what order the system tables are being help when creating temp tables in a transaction, therefore, I can't tell which pages need to be requested from another transaction to cause the deadlock. Any help will be much appreciated.
We have 2 SQL tables being accessed through an Access form. The tables are an ORDER table and an ORDER-DETAIL table comprised of data regarding the Parts in any given Order. (Yes -- the classic Order-Entry situation.) The Access form is used to view/create new Orders, and shows ORDER data in fields, plus has a large field which presents a "spreadsheet"-like view of the related records from the ORDER-DETAIL table.
The users enter and modify data in the ORDER-DETAIL table directly through this "spreadsheet" in the Access form. However, because there is no PARTS table yet (that's part of what I'm working on), they have to enter part numbers and descriptions *manually* in each ORDER.
So... here's my question:
After I implement a PARTS table, I would like for users to be able to open an ORDER in the Access form, type in a Part # in a row of the ORDER-DETAIL "spreadsheet", and then have the rest of the row populate with the appropriate Part description and other data from the PARTS table. How do I go about making that a reality? Some kind of stored procedure triggered by a change in the Part # field? Ha ha – if so, I am clueless as to how to make that happen. ANY information would greatly appreciated!
Hi, all.. I by mistake Overwrites distribution DB. Server1 and Server2 replicates each other. Applications are using Server1, and Server2 is back up purpose. When server1 fails application redirected SErver2, using same data since there is replication. Server2 had distribution DB.
Now there is no distribution DB.. it's messed up... I want to restore replication between Server1 and Server2. I tried to make replication from Server1, I got errors..
I have a Transaction replication running between 2 SQl 2000 Servers. The distributor is on seperate machine.
Server1 is an online Db which is sending replicated trn to Server2 which is a reporting Server. Because of space issues, I have to remove about 100 Million Rows from Server1 Table without affectiing Server2 Table (Server 2 Retains those rows) Is there any Stored Proc available to disable the replication only during that time ?
How would I write a query to produce all combinations for a situation such as the following?
Suppose I wanted to write a sentence, "This is [adjective] [noun]." where [adjective] comes from the Adjective table and [noun] come from the Noun table.
Adjective table looks like e.g.
ID Adj 1 good 2 so so 3 bad
Noun table looks like e.g.
ID Noun 1 apple 2 orange 3 banana
And the result set would look like
This is good apple. This is so so apple. This is bad apple. This is good orange. This is so so orange. This is bad orange. This is good banana. This is so so banana. This is bad banana.
I would take a stab at this myself and post even something that doesn't work...
OBJECTIVE:THE QUERY SHOULD GIVE ME THE FIELDS I MENTIONED IN THE FIRST QUERY WITH THE CONDITIONS BELOW. CONDITION 1: RateReview field should have yesterday's date CONDITION 2: Email will be send to customer only once so Customer_GUID is UniqueIdentifier CONDITION 3: Customer shouldnt' have opted to get out from receiving any email so Termination field should be NULL ONe Customer can have many transwactions Is there any way i write the code specifying that no email should be sent more than once evereven if customer buys 10 tickets. Only one email sent so i need to specify that if this email has gone to particulare CUSTOMER_GUID then Ignore that record and do not send any email. This would be done by some tool known as StrongMail. SELECT CAST(a.Transaction_GUID AS varchar(36)) as Transaction_GUID, CAST(a.Customer_GUID AS varchar(36)) as Customer_GUID, Film_id as MovieId, First_nm as FirstName, Last_nm as LastName, Email_nm as EmailAddress FROm Table1 where RateReview_dm >= dateadd(day, datediff(day, 0, getdate()), -1) -- Greater or same as Yesterday day and RateReview_dm < dateadd(day, datediff(day, 0, getdate()), 0) -- Less than today's date and and Terminate_dm is null (I don;t know what condition to give that same customer good should not be send email again if send once) i don't know whether i need to create a derive table or it can work without drive table
I have a stored procedure that give the (sample) data as below.
Country Category State/Province Year Month quantity Canada cat1 AB 2008 1 10 Canada cat2 BC 2008 2 10 Canada cat3 AB 2008 3 10 Canada cat4 SK 2008 1 10 US cat1 BB 2008 1 20 US cat3 GJ 2008 2 15 US cat4 CO 2008 2 15
When I configure the matrix I EXPECT TO SEE THE FOLLOWING:
AB BC SK 2008 2008 2008 1 3 2 1 ________________________________________________________________________
Canada cat1 10 cat2 10 cat3 10
cat4 10
BB GJ CO 2008 2008 2008 1 2 2 ________________________________________________________________________
US cat1 20 cat3 15 cat4 15
BUT I AM GETTING THE FOLLOWING RESULT:
AB BC SK BB GJ CO 2008 2008 2008 2008 2008 2008 1 3 2 1 1 2 ________________________________________________________________________
Canada cat1 10 cat2 10 cat3 10

US cat1 20 cat3 15 cat4 15
In Crystal it automatically displays as above. How do I do this in SRS? Matrix is not showing the state relevant to the country properly. It is showing all the states.
I have run into a problem, I have 2 fields in my database, both keyfields:Table 1=====Field X <key>Field Y <key>In field X, there are say about 3 records for each unique Field Y. Ilet my users query the data base like follows:Enter the Codes you want: 1000 and 3000 and 8500So I want to pick up records where there will be the above values forAll Y values. i.e 1000/AAA, 3000/AAA, and 8500 for AAA - if there iseven ONE of the X values not matching a record without a matching Xvalue, leave it out.i.e:X=1000,Y=AAAX=3000,Y=AAAX=8500,Y=AAAX=1000,Y=BBBX=3000,Y=BBBX=8500,Y=BBBX=1000,Y=CCCX=3000,Y=CCCX=9999,Y=CCCWhen the query runs, I want to see the following records:X=1000,Y=AAAX=3000,Y=AAAX=8500,Y=AAAX=1000,Y=BBBX=3000,Y=BBBX=8500,Y=BBBBUT NOT:X=1000,Y=CCCX=3000,Y=CCCX=9999,Y=CCCbecause one of the X values was not matched (the last X value =9999 andnot one of the requirements of the search)So I guess I want something like this:SELECT X,Y from TABLE1 WHERE ALL Y VALUES HAVE ALL OF THESE X VALUES(X=1000,X=3000,X=8500) IF ANY X VALUES ARE MISSING SKIP RECORD^^ Hope the above makes sense... but I am really stuck. The only otherway I think I could do it is, copy all records that match all 3 Xvalues into a temp table, and weed out any that are missing any one ofthe X values after they are copied but, I am running this on MYSQL 5.0Clustered, and there is not enough room in memory for it probably...and query time has to remain under a second.Anyhelp would be appreciated...
