Reporting Services :: Error - Y Expression For Chart Has Scope Parameter Not Valid For Aggregate Function
May 6, 2015
I am trying to create a column chart that calculates the percentage of computers in our IT environment that are Actively communicating to our SCCM Server.
I have two datasets:
1. Total_Count_Of_AD_PC DataSet.
2. PC_With_Active_SCCM_Clients dataset.
Basically i wan to calculate the percentage for each Region (i.e. AP for Asia Pacific, EMEA, Americas).
Below is the Total_Count_Of_AD_PC  Dataset screenshot.
Below is the PC_With_Active_SCCM_Clients dataset.
Below is the expression that i used that is causing the error.
The Y expression for the chart ‘Chart2’ has a scope parameter that is not valid for an aggregate function. The scope parameter must be set to a string constant that is equal to either the name of a containing group, the name of a containing data region, or the name of a dataset.
I'm trying to sum a column in a report. in Most columns I can just wrap the row level expression with "Sum()" and it works. However, I have run into a few that give the following error. The Value expression for the text box ‘Textbox241’ specifies a scope that is not valid for a nested aggregate.  The scope must be the same name of the scope specified by the outer aggregate or the name of a group or data region that is contained in the scope specified by the outer aggregate.Here is my row level expression that works.
This is making the heatmap look at the whole dataset instead of just what I am grouping by. Within the Dataset there are Regions and Credit Unions. Since the Dataset is looking at an entire region, the heatmap is coloring based on all data for the region. I need to heatmap to color based on the Credit Unions in that region. The Credit Unions are a group. I need the group to be the value it is referencing in the heat map and not "DataSet1". I have been told to use scope or a variable but cannot get it to work correctly.
I have a sales report that is pulling up data and displaying the detailed lines and the aggregate/summary lines grouped by a single field.
THe report say has 10 summary/aggregate lines and each summary lines have a maybe 20 more lines to it.
I want to NUMBER the SUMMARY lines only. In a new column on the summary line cell, if I type, =RowNumber(Nothing), I get a count of all its sub-lines displayed. How can I limit the scope of numbering to just the summary lines and make sure it does not include the sub lines involved ?
I am getting this error when upgraded to SQL Server 2012. Earlier the same report(.rdl) just working fine on SQL Server 2008 R2.
Message = System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: The value of parameter 'param' is not valid. ---> Microsoft.ReportingServices. Diagnostics. Utilities.InvalidParameterException: The value of parameter 'param' is not valid. ---> System.UriFormatException: Invalid URI: The Uri string is too long.
Is there anything changed in SQL Server 2012 regarding this.
I have the problem of aggregating semi-additive measures correct in higher levels in a matrix control of reporting services. I use the "Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services" data provider. I have a calculated measure saved in the AS2005 cube which looks like:
In the matrix, I have a 4 level Product Dimension on the rows (4 groups matrix1_level1 ..... matrix1_level4) and the visibility of the groups is toggled by each upper level, so I can drill in the product dimension. I place this measure in the data part of the matrix with (sum(Fields!Net_Sales__kg_.Value)). On the leave level all values ar correct. But on each other level, I see the sum of the sublevels.
After a lot of pain researching, I found that I have to use the "aggregate" function instead of the "sum" function, because aggregate uses the aggregating which comes from the data provider and the "Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services" data provider is able to do that. Thats all of documentation I found. I have played around with this function, but always when I use it, I get no values on all levels. I tried the "scope" parameter of the aggregat function, nothing changed.
I tried aggreagate(Fields!Net_Sales__kg_.Value, "matrix1_level1"), aggreagate(Fields!Net_Sales__kg_.Value, "SalesCube") (SalesCub is the name of my Dataset in Reporting Services I use), aggreagate(Fields!Net_Sales__kg_.Value, "matrix1") and last but not least aggregate(Fields!Net_Sales__kg_.Value), all is the same, no values.
It seems to me, that the aggragate function returns "Nothing", because than, according to the Online Help, no values will be shown. But according to some blogs and forum entries, the "Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services (AdomdClient)" Data provider should deal with aggregate. Have I do some special entries in the "Advanced..." Settings of the data provider??
Can someone tell me, what I'm doing wrong, and did someone know a good documentation (with examples) for the aggregate function on the internet. The Help-file doc is very, very poor!!!
We are constrained to use a model that stores records in a main table and various attributes of the record in a second table. Something like this: main record table CAR, attribute table CAR_DETAILS with CAR_DETAILS have key value pairs like "color" "blue" and "doors" "4".
For reports we need to flatten the one to many nature of this to get CAR and color and doors by using an aggregate function like:Â
car_id, max(car_detail.value) filtered on car_detail.key = "color", max(car_detail.value) filtered on car_detail.key = "doors".Â
This works on other tables but the car_detail table (shall we say) appears to store its values as blobs. In any case when we attempt to aggregate we get "The query uses an aggregate function on a large value type expression. Large value type expressions can not be aggregated."
Since we can't change the model, we would need to use another function to change this to a smaller string (or date, these are actually mostly date), but none of the very limited set of functions available seems to work to make this aggregation possible (and there is no "first" or anything else similar).Â

Is it possible to have different chart (having their dataset from same shared datasets) like six on one report, then secondly can they all respond to same parameter filter.
SSRS/SSAS. I'm using aggregate function no problem in a Table, but when I try to use same function in data field of a chart I get no results. I know that "aggregate" has only been supported since SP2, is there a known problem with using it in charts?
I have created a report which has 3 groups. The report output as shown below. I am having trouble getting the SUM of Total Credtis for each Org.
Can't seem to get the total 42 and 16 (highlighted), but can get total unists 11 and 13. I get expression contains aggregate function. This is because Units assessed is the Count of IDs (details hidden from the report).
Report has three groups Org , Assessor and Unit.
Can someone please help me with this?
Appreciate help.
Thank you,
Ski
Org 1(Group1)
Unit Credits Units Assessed(# of Trainees) TotalCredits
I am using SSRS 2014. I'm using a matrix instead of a tablix because it allows me to have dynamic columns. In the example I'm showing, two of the columns use the sum function to get the total counts per practice. The third column contains percentages so I averaged for the total but the value is inaccurate compared to the value I would get if the divided the the two totals that are sums of the counts. Is there a way for me to specify that I want to divide the total counts numerator divided by the total counts denominator?
Here's an example report output with the percentage column averaged (inaccurate):
PCP       numerator denominator percentage John Smith  66       104 63.46 Tom Jones   4         36   11.11 . . . Jane Doe    1   1     100 Total 708      1005     72.3
So the 72.3 value is from Avg(metricvalue)
I would like to do this instead: % total = 708/1005, which equals 70.5 - a significant difference.
The metricvalue column is what is the value for every number above (Because it's a matrix).
When I export the report in excel format the chart is displayed as picture. I want it to be displayed as editable chart.Does Office Writer work in this situation and did anyone use Office Writer to accomplish same type of problem.Is there any other method or product we can use instead of the office writer.
I have an SSRS report with several variables, some of which are multi-valued. Â The main query that feeds the report uses some table value functions. Â For example, the query looks something like this:
select tv1.a, tv1.b, tv2.x, tv2.y, tbl.m, tbl.n from tableValueFunction1(@MultiValueParam) as tv1 inner join tableValueFunction2(@MultiValueParam) as tv2 on tv1.xxx = tv2.xxx inner join regularTable as tbl on tv1.xxx = tbl.xxx
where tbl.abc in (@MultiValueParam).When I try to run this, I get an error saying that I'm feeding the wrong number of parameters into the table value functions. Â I've fed multi-valued parameters to stored procedures before and used a splitter function to split out the comma separated values, so I was planning to do the same thing in this scenario. Â However, this is different. Â When I look at the query in SQL Profiler, it shows discrete values for the multi value parameter. Â For example, the same query above looks like this when viewed through the profiler (using 1,2,3 as my multi-value selection):
select tv1.a, tv1.b, tv2.x, tv3.y, tbl.m, tbl.n from tableValueFunction1(1,2,3) as tv1 inner join tableValueFunction2(1,2,3) as tv2 on tv1.xxx = tv2.xxx inner join regularTable as tbl on tv1.xxx = tbl.xxx where tbl.abc in (1,2,3)
In other words, SSRS isn't converting the multi-value parameter to a comma separated string, like it normally does.
I need to create a chart with the following features
1) Bar chart that has data for 3 years (3 series) 2) Line chart that has the same data as per the above points on the bar chart but this is a running total. (3 series) 3) These data points are for the 12 months 4) there should be a secondary axis for the cumulative one
When i open any reports getting the below error message.An error occurred within the report server database. This may be due to a connection failure, timeout or low disk condition within the database.
(rsReportServerDatabaseError)Procedure or function 'CreateSession' expects parameter '@SiteZone', which was not supplied. Â
I have a report that uses a stored procedure as a dataset.The stored procedure accepts four parameters, which I have defined in the report. works fine in query builder and SSMS.
When I run the report I get an error stating a parameter is missing. I tried deleting parameters and recreating not luck.
I have a old report that was pointing to a different database, and i changed the connection string for that report and changed the field names (As per my new stored Procedure). In some places I keep getting this run time error, i have tried looking for all the hidden references to this field and i cannot find any parameter that the old database had. The error messages that i get are as follows:
[rsFieldReference] The Hidden expression for the table €˜tblContactInfo€™ refers to the field €˜PL_Admin_ShowInKit€™. Report item expressions can only refer to fields within the current data set scope or, if inside an aggregate, the specified data set scope.
[rsFieldReference] The Hidden expression for the table €˜tblContactInfo€™ refers to the field €˜PL_FA_ShowInKit€™. Report item expressions can only refer to fields within the current data set scope or, if inside an aggregate, the specified data set scope.
[rsFieldReference] The Hidden expression for the table €˜tblWithdrawals€™ refers to the field €˜PW_Comment€™. Report item expressions can only refer to fields within the current data set scope or, if inside an aggregate, the specified data set scope.
Can Someone please help me out as to how should i get rid of these error messages, they are kinda driving me nuts.
i have on table temp and it has column name fhID, now that column name and table name comes as parameter in stored procedure from c#. now stored procedure has code somthing like below @column nvarchar(50) @tbname nvarchar(50) -- both are parameter comes from c# decalre @maxid select @maxid=max(@column) from @tbname rather than prints the maximum values of "fhid" it prints column name itself. now i how can i achive actual working of max function using parameter. is there any other way to pass parameter in aggregate function or it is not allowed to pass.??? plz help me, thanks vishal parekh 'fhid' now how can
In the provided CLR-function sample there is only one parameter from the SQL statement to the function. I can't find any info about how to pass more then one parameter. Is this possible somehow?
like:

How can do this. Because my stored function contains same clause except colums name.So I want to use column name as a parameter but how can send column name and use it like Sum(parameter) function .

I have created 1 report with 2 datasets. This report is attached to the 1st dataset.For example,1st one is "Smallappliances", 2nd is "Largeappliances".
I created a tablix and, the 1st column extracts Total sales per Sales person between 2 dates from 1st dataset (Small appliances). I used running values expression and it works fine.
Now, I would like to add another column that extracts Total sales per sales person between 2 dates from 2nd dataset (Large appliances). I am aware that I need to use Lookup expression and it is giving me the single sales value rather than the total sales values. So, I wanted to use RunningValue expression within lookup table to get total sales for large appliances.
This is the lookup expression that I added for the 2nd column.
I get this error when I preview the report.An error occurred during local report processing.The definition of the report is invalid.An unexpected error occurred in report processing.
Stage     Files I         10 O         20 U         30 T         40
Now the files are coming by forming group on stage.
here , stage I has 10 files coming and i have one column with these rows as TYPE_Id which is either 1 or 2Â now i want to build an expression to see if the files have included such file which has files type 2 and if number >1 then i want to return a flag ..
i had tried iif but it is returns same if files contain of type 2 or not .
how to write a expression which tell me that these stage files has type_ID =2 files
I have a report that is using the following expression for one of the fields:
=Split(Fields!FromAccount.Value, " ")(1)
The format of the number is xxxxx-xxx xxxxxxxxxxxx
So the function is to grab the second section of numbers after the space. The query for this report can bring back 1 to many results which equals one to many pages.
I have an issue where the query returns three results. The first page will display the correct number, the second page displays #Error and the third displays the number.
When I run the query from Management Studio I see the numbers are as follows:
Note the first and and last lines have extra spaces which I thought would be the cause of the problem though I would've expected the #Error to appear on the first and third page rather than the second one.
When I remove the extra space for the first and third number all three pages display their values correctly.
However, there are many, many numbers in the table that have one to two spaces. These numbers are from a spreadsheet that is imported biweekly. So it was either I fix the spreadsheet before every import or I come up with a new expression to check for one or two spaces. This is what I came up with:
Now, the first page displays the number correctly while the second and third page displays with the #Error. Basically I want to say if the value contains two spaces then split at the two spaces otherwise split at the one space.
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:Â
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.
When publish report define file (SSRS2008 ) to SSRS2008 server , it throws that the report definition is not valid. But I use VS2008 deploy it and  it is succeeded to publish to SSRS2008 Server. Why ?
<errorinfo>Details: '.', hexadecimal value 0x00, is an invalid character.</errrorinfo><code> Reporting Service 2005 m_ReportingService = new ReportingService2005();this.m_ReportingService.CreateReport(reportName, parentFolder, overwrite, report, null)</code>
Can somebody on the SSRS product team double check me that I've written that up right? That seems like a pretty important change and I can't see it mentioned in BOL anywhere.
I have made an aggregate function sql (as far as I understand).I need the sum but also the features column. But I can only read one column in the select.Here is the select trying to read two columns:

here is the error:
