SSRS MDX LookupCube Expression As Dataset
Apr 7, 2008
So I have this great MDX query that runs fine in Management Studio and I need to use it in a report. The statement contains a LookupCube call. I've tried everything but I am unable to get access to the fields in the dataset when I go to design the report.
I've tried adding the =" in the beginning and the " at the end. I've also tried escaping the " with "". Everything I've tried however never gives me the ability to access the 'PREV BATCH ELIGIBLE BALANCE' field.
Before you ask, I'm using LookupCube because the below code is just a piece of a much large MDX query. I just figured I'd start small and see how it goes.
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[PREV BATCH ELIGIBLE BALANCE] AS LookupCube("CLAIMS"," ([Measures].[TOTAL BALANCE] ,[CLIENT].[ATC Healthcare, Inc.] , [ELIGIBILITY].[TRUE], [ROLL_FWD].[TRUE], " + [Batch].PrevMember.UniqueName + ")") SELECT { [Measures].[PREV BATCH ELIGIBLE BALANCE] } ON COLUMNS, { [BATCH].[MyComp Healthcare, Inc.].Children } ON ROWS FROM [CLAIMS]

I have a report with multiple datasets, the first of which pulls in data based on user entered parameters (sales date range and property use codes). Dataset1 pulls property id's and other sales data from a table (2014_COST) based on the user's parameters. I have set up another table (AUDITS) that I would like to use in dataset6. This table has 3 columns (Property ID's, Sales Price and Sales Date). I would like for dataset6 to pull the Property ID's that are NOT contained in the results from dataset1. In other words, I'd like the results of dataset6 to show me the property id's that are contained in the AUDITS table but which are not being pulled into dataset1. Both tables are in the same database.

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.
=Lookup(Fields!salesperson.Value,Fields!sales_person.Value,RunningValue(Fields!sales_amount.Value,
sum, " sales_person"),
"Largeappliances").
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.
(processing): (SortExpression ++ m_context.ExpressionType)

Hi,
Now I can query dataset and bind to report parameter. But I have some problem about setting default value. I don't know, how to select max value from dataset by using expression.
Example, I query disticnt year from my table. The result has 2 years "2007" and "2008"
select distinct year(mytime) as myyear from mytable.
I set available parameter by using this dataset. Then, I set default value for this parameter by the other dataset ...
select max (distinct year(mytime)) as maxyear from mytable.
I want to select max value by using expression, not select max by using dataset.
How can I do?
Thank you very much.

An error has occurred during report processing.
Cannot set the command text for data set 'ScoreboardOLAP'.
Error during processing of the CommandText expression of dataset €˜ScoreboardOLAP€™
Can anyone help at all here? I've seen about 10 articles on this one but none appear to be relevant. I have a complex report comprising many sub-reports which runs successfully in a development environment. When deployed to an environment which comprises a separate report sever and report server DB I get the above error even when I try and browse to any of the sub-reports.
The sub-report is using an OLEDB connection to an SSAS DB and its command text is set as:-
=Code.GetQueryString(parameters)
Where GetQueryString is a function in the code section of the report which returns some MDX based on the supplied parameters. I obviously know the function works because it works in development mode.
I have tried to determine what is going on from the logs but the only messages I get are those above. I've set the data sources on the server up to use valid Windows Credentials stored on the server so I don't believe the issue is one of authentication
Any thoughts or tips in helping to diagnose the cause of the problem would be greatly appreciated.

I would like to suppress the entire row in tablix if no data despite multiple expresions used in a text box.
If data the it will show per the DB data else it should not show anythig or leave it as blank row
The issue is where I have appended ";" and "'" in the expressions but still comes in the report output because it is appended even if no data.

hello
I have been assigned the task to port some reports from Business Objects 5.0 to Reporting Services 2005.
The BO reports used data regions based on multiple datasets, which is not feasible in SSRS.
So I have to get everything in one big query. The problem is that the query runs for 2 hours instead of a couple of minutes with our old BO solution which got it's data from an access database !
is there a better way to do this ?

Hi,
I am not understanding this part of the problem. I am currently reusing a stored procedure that has a ".." as part of the select statement.
I can't put the select statement up here due to privacy but I have found the error where the error states the following:-
Invalid Column Prefix: AM, invalid table name.
I noticed that part of the select statement was the following:-
AM..Field1
I tried executing this stored procedure in the query analyzer and it works fine, but when I tried executing it in SSRS, it gives me the error. After searching through the internet for possible causes, I found out that it was the ".." was giving the error. Anyone knows why ? I found out that it was supposed to bypass any users and permissions to the table.
Thakns !

I have created multiple data sources and datasets in my SSrS project. I created the datasets so I could use them as the basis for reports. However, when I open the wizard to create a new report, I am always asked for a data source, and then have to renter the SQL code that I have stored in one of my datasets. How can I have a report use an existing dataset as it source of data? Otherwise, the datasets I created seem useless . . .

Hi,
I'm developing an ASP.NET application that creates on-demand reports with Reporting Services 2005 in report server.
I use a custom data set that contains the data that I want to bind to the report, and I use a WebService to pass that DataSet to the reporting services to accomplish my purpose.
The query passed to the reporting services is:
<Query>
<Method Namespace=http://myNameSpace.com Name="GetDataSetForReport"/> <SoapAction>http://myNameSpace.com/WebService/GetDataSetForReport</SoapAction>
<ElementPath IgnoreNamespaces="True">GetDataSetForReportResponse{}/GetDataSetForReportResult{}/diffgram{}/ReportDataSet{}/MyTable{Fields1,Fields2,Fields3,..,FieldsN,Image}</ElementPath>
</Query>
This works well and all the fields are displayed in the report fine except the Image Fields, that are not showing (the red X appears instead of the image).
The issue is that all the data that is bind to the dataset is contained in a SQL Server 2005 database, and the Image column in the table of that database is a VARBINARY(MAX) field (I insert the image into the database table).
Also, when I created the dataset in .NET, the column type of the dataset I declared for the Image field was Byte[], but that didn't work for me. I've also tried to declare as the field type Byte,SqlByte,Image,SqlBinary, etc without succesfull results.
I've also tried creating a XML Schema, declaring the Image field as base64Binary, then do DataSet.ReadXMLSchema(myschema) and then retrievied the data from sql server and filled the dataset, Again, the Images doesn`t display.
For finnishing my unsatisfactory tests, I've also tried to handle the image data with a MemoryStream object:
MemoryStream mem = new MemoryStream();
MemoryStream oStream = new MemoryStream();
mem.Write((Byte[])dr["Image"],0 , ((Byte[])dr["Image"]).Length); //dr is the datareader used to read from the DB
Image image = Image.FromStream(mem);
try
{
image.Save(oStream, ImageFormat.Png);
}
catch{}
newRow["Image"] = oStream.GetBuffer(); //newRow is a row of the custom DataSet.Table passed to the SSRS.
But again, the Image is not showing.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for you time.

I have created a heat map and it is working pretty well. The only issue I am having is that the expression for the fill is using "DataSet1"
=Code.GetHeatmapColor(sum(Fields!AnnualPremium.Value),Min(Fields!AnnualPremium.Value,"DataSet1",Recursive),
Max(Fields!AnnualPremium.Value,"DataSet1",Recursive))
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 data field in a SSRS Report that contains the requestor's User Id. Their ID is prefixed with "PRIV"...And I'm assuming that is the direct result of the network domain. I need to create a SSRS expression to determine if the User ID is prefixed with "PRIV" and then parse that out and use what's behind the "" as their true User Id.
example...."PRIVID123456" should appear as "ID123456" in the report data line.

and the result i want
year
Data 2010 2011 2012 2011/2012

How exactly do I reference this field from the Invoice dataset (there are at least two datasets)?

"Short" Story Version:
I have a VS 2005 Web Appplication solution that uses SQL Server Reporting Services 2005. One of the projects is a Report Server Project. In this project I have an RDL file that has:
1.)a non-shared XML DataSource (no credentials),
2.)a DataSet with a Command Type of Text and a Query String that is as follows:
<Query>
<XmlData>
<Root>
<LOAD LOAD_ID_PREFIX="" LOAD_ID="" TRUCK="" DIAGRAM=""/>
</Root>
</XmlData>
</Query>
3.)a field that comes from the Database that is of VarBinary(Max) that is a JPEG Image
What happens is, is that by doing #2 above, at design time I can create tables and hook into my datasets and get the report all designed out the way I want. Then at runtime, I have a Stored Procedure that uses the "FOR XML AUTO" option so that I can represent my results from the database in an XML fashion which will allow me to replace the XML Schema in between the Root tags above (in #2) with my actual data (which still has the same schema). I then save the modified RDL to a database table field and move on to happily ever after......in this case, not. In this case, since an VarBinary is involved, unless I want to get a pointer back for the Diagram Column, I have to use the "FOR XML AUTO, BINARY BASE64" option. This returns an Encoded string to represent the Binary value that was in the Database....and this is the partial source of my angst....read on.
My approach that I described above worked flawlessly in all cases where an image wasn't involved. This report is the only report in the whole system I am working on that will have an image and it is the last one being done, so that's why I didn't run into this earlier.
I have tried all kinds of things at different levels, but the thing that I have tried that seemed to me to have the most potential was to use Embedded Code to take the Encoded ASCII Value and convert into something binary that the SSRS Reporting Engine likes (so my image will show), but I have been unsuccessful thus far. The error message I keep getting now from my Embedded Function is: "Invalid length for a Base-64 char array", which I have not been able to resolve thus far....and I do know that the Binary value in the database is good becuase I can see it in pages in my application otherwise.
This aside, is there anyone out there that knows how to take the value of a VarBinary(Max) field and insert it into the Text (XML) DataSet in the markup of an RDL file....and have it appear correctly when the report is rendered in something like the standard Report Viewer Control (or even when being previewed at design time inside of Visual Studio for that matter)?
Just to be clear, the root of my problem, as I see and understand it, is that I have a VarBinary value in a database that is being converted to a string (ASCII...I am presuming) due to how I am writing my stored procedure and then needs to go back to something else binary that the SSRS Engine will accept so that I can see my Image in the report when I render it.
I am wishful that someone out there understands my problem and has run into this and has a solution......but I am wishful of winning the lottery, too, and that hasn't happened yet...............
Thanks.
