Reporting Services :: Select Query - Formatting A Date Affecting MIN
Sep 2, 2015
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 know this is very simple, and I've done it before, but now I can't remember how to do it and I keep failing to do it correctly. I want to format a 6 digit number like this: 00-00-00. The number is returned from the database as 6 digits, and I just want to add the dashes.
I tried putting ##-##-## in the Format cell in the properties of the textbox (which I thought worked before) but it's not doing the trick. What am I doing wrong here?
Part of my query is : SELECT * FROM TableA WHERE ColumnA >= DATEADD(DAY, - 30, GETDATE())
With the expression at the where clause above, you can pull a rolling 30 days data without having to supply values. Now users of the report want to see it represented like: 2nd April – 1st May
when the report is ran. the requirement is not to use a parameter for the reportKnowing that I have no parameters, how do I reference ">= DATEADD (DAY, - 30, GETDATE())" to reflect the start date and the end date in the report?
I have a problem formatting a field in Reporting Services (minutes to hours).
I have a field called duration which stores time in whole minutes only. I can format this into hours within mssql using the following:
cast(sn.duration/60 as varchar(5)) + ':' + RIGHT('0' + cast(sn.duration%60 as varchar(2)), 2)
But I need to have totals and average columns in my report, which means that the data must come through to RS in the minutes format so I can perform the calculations there.
I have an issue in trying to format rows base on conditions. Below is a replication of the tables and the select statement.
CREATE TABLE #CompareVal (CompareValID INT Not Null , ValName NVARCHAR(75) Null , Vehicle INT Null , Driver INT Null ); GO
[Code] ....
First issue, James and Jane does not have a driver available and that should show "No Driver available"I am to compare values in VehicleAvailable and DriverAvailable to the first row - (Group Value Standard row) so that when a value is less than the value in first row, it should be Gold, if equal to, Blue and if greater than then, Red.
The first row is to be Black. In other for me to be able to compare, I added columns like so:
SELECT #CompanyName , [Description] , ISNULL(CAST(VehicleAvalible AS NVARCHAR(30)),'N/A') AS VehicleAvalible , ISNULL(CAST(DriverAvailable AS NVARCHAR(30)),'No Driver available') AS DriverAvailable , 0 AS TotalVehicles , 0 AS TotalDrivers
[Code] ...
And my expression for "VehicleAvailable" column is :
=Switch(Fields!Description.Value = "Group Value Standard" AND Fields!VehicleAvalible.Value = Fields!TotalVehicles.Value, "Black" , Fields!Description.Value = "Group Value Standard" AND Fields!VehicleAvalible.Value < Fields!TotalVehicles.Value, "Black" , Fields!Description.Value = "Group Value Standard" AND Fields!VehicleAvalible.Value > Fields!TotalVehicles.Value, "Black"
[Code]....
This doesn't work as I am comparing integer against text value. How do I format to get result like the below image?
My Expression in the data fields inside design mode is:
IIF(Fields!Row_num.Value mod 2 ,"White","LightGrey")
I am using a Dense rank Function at the dataset level in order to group id column wise. So Fields!Row_num.Value comes from that set.
Earlier it was BLANK values: Please see below for reference.
Tried IsNull on SQL Server already and does not work because there are no NULLs in the data I am retrieving. The empty cells happen when the matrix creates the crosstab report - where there is no data for a column. Everything else works well except the BLANK values being not colored as you see in the screen shot, im using ISNOTHING function to achieve those 0's if NULLS inside the report. But though we have a value inside the cell coming from report it does not colour the entire group.
My requirement is coloring the entire column group irrespective of the NULLs' or Blanks.
Have also tries several functions, but of no use. I am missing with a tiny thing I guess which I am unable to figure out.
Other Functions Tried:
=IIF(VAL(ReportItems!ROWCOLOR.Value) MOD 2,"WHITE","LightGrey") =iif(RunningValue(Fields!City.Value,CountDistinct,Nothing) Mod 2, "LIGHTBLUE", "SILVER") =iif(RunningValue(Fields!DQLogDateTime.Value,CountDistinct, Nothing) MOD 2, "LightGrey","White")
I have a chart with series that needs conditional colour for three conditions. One condition must be transparent. I have tried the various IFF or SWITCH expressions below and some work fine in SSDT but when I deploy them to the browser the formatting is lost. This simple IFF expression works. The series is transparent as required both in SSDT (Visual Studio BIDS) and IE11 and Firefox browsers but I need two other conditions.
Both of the expressions below work in SSDT (Visual Studio BIDS) as expected but when deployed to the browser none of this formatting is rendered and all series are in blues even the ‘transparent’ series. No red at all.
I have tried deleting various files RDL and DATA. I have tried uploading the file from report manager in IE and I have tried editing the file in report manager.
I would like to know how to add SELECT row to a table variable. It's not for my SELECT syntax(code following is just an ugly example) that I want help it's for the use of table variable. Your help will greatly appreciate!!!
ex : DECLARE @MyTestVar table ( idTest int NOT NULL, anotherColumn int NOT NULL)
SET @MyTestVar = (SELECT idTest, anotherColumn FROM tTest)-- This cause an error :-- Must declare the variable '@MyTestVar'. ???? What?
I have a QA Deployment Date field that is being returned in a custom report I created. I also found a sample date range parameter:
What I want to accomplish:
I want to select a From and To Date and filter the report to only display the rows that have the QA Deployment Date within the selected range.
For example.. I want to select From Date (8/1/2105) and To Date (8/31/2015) and I only want to return only the results that have a QA Deployment date between that selected range.
I would like to be able to search by a single date, @StartDate, or by a date range , between @StartDate and @EndDate. I am having a hard time with the logic on this for a report in SSRS.
Not sure if I will be able to get the answer I need on this forum but hopefully I will!
We have a previous report that uses the code:
AND T1."Decision_Date" BETWEEN '2005-07-01 00:00:00.000' AND '2006-06-30 00:00:00.000' AND T1."Decision_Type_Description"
With this the report was run with the "static" dates, the new report (in MS reporting services) requires that the user be able to enter in the start date range and the end date range.
I have come up with something like: (T1."Decision_Date" = @Start_Year) AND (T1."Decision_Date" = @End_Year)
taskname| jan|feb|march|april|......... [taskname value]|{now i have merged all cell till the end of months row.}
I have another value (start date value). I want date to be displayed below that particular month as i have merged that all cells so its is causing me some problems.
I have a Start Date and End Date parameter in my SSRS report. The results are off by 1 day. For example if I enter 4/2/2015 and 4/20/2015 it will return a few results from 4/1/2015 to 4/19/2015.
For any reports I am running it interprets all of my dates as US format.
for instance I'm using the following code snippet to specify the date range of a report
CAST(@FromYear + '-01-' + @FromMonth AS DATETIME) AS froom MIN(allpartmaster.snlcat) AS cat, DATEADD(dd, - 1, DATEADD(mm, 1, CAST(@ToYear + '-01-' + @ToMonth AS DATETIME))) AS toooo
these are then used to not only limit the sql statement's return set but also as labels on the report for clairfication.
parameters are of string type but are passed the likes of
@FromMonth = '06'
@FromYear = '2006'
@ToMonth = '03'
@ToYear = '2007'
Now I run the report on my developemtn machine with out any problems the above returns
froom = '01/06/2006' the 1st of june 2006 toooo = '31/03/2007' the 31st of March 2006
now when the report is deployed and run on the server the above returns
froom = '06/01/2006' 6th of January 2006 toooo = '02/02/2007' 2nd of Feb 2007
so the dates are being displayed in the correct format for what they are.. but the actual processing of the reports on the report server is flipping them to US format initially and then back to UK format to display them.
I'm at a loss to understand why.. my browser's language settings are UK and my server's windows regional settings at UK as well...
does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening?
have a table with students details in it, i want to select all the students who joined a class on a particular day and then i need another query to select all students who joined classes over the course of date range eg 03/12/2003 to 12/12/2003.
i have tried with the following query, i need help putting my queries together select * from tblstudents where classID='1' and studentstartdate between ('03/12/2004') and ('03/12/2004')
when i run this query i get this message
Server: Msg 242, Level 16, State 3, Line 1 The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.
the studentstartdate field is set as datetime 8 and the date looks like this in the table 03/12/2004 03:12:15
I have a problem with Date/Time parameters. When I try to preview reports locally, I get the following error message for dates past the 12th of a month:
An error occured during local report processing. The value provided for the report parameter 'Date' is not valid for its type.
My report is set to de-CH. If I enter a date into the datepicker in Swiss/German format (dd.mm.yyyy) Visual Studio changes them to mm/dd/yyyy but somehow tests them against dd.mm.yyyy and throws an error.
Windows language is German, SQL Server and Visual Studio are in English.
I installed the German language pack for Visual Studio and switched over to German to no avail. Changing the report language to en-US did not work either.
