I am creating a report that uses the Matrix control. I need to display a fixed number of columns (5). In my query, I am returning the top 5 rows of data. However, in some cases there are less than 5 rows of data returned from the dataset. Is there a way to force the number of columns displayed in the matrix control and to populate with some text (such as "n/a") if no data is available?
Thanks!

Hi
I have a dataset with 2 columns, a rownumber and a servername - eg
rownumber servername
1 server1
2 server2
....
15 server15
I want to display the servernames in a report so that you get 3 columns - eg
server1 | server2 | server3
server4 | server5 | server6
...
server13 | server14 | server15
I have tried using multiple tables and lists and filtering the data on each one but this then makes formating very hard - i either end up with a huge gap between columns or the columns overlap
I have also tried using a matrix control but cant find a way to do this.
Does anybody know an easy way to do this? The data comes from sql 2005 so i can use a pivot clause on the dataset if somebody knows a way to do it this way. The reporting service is also RS2005
Thanks

HI all !
I am having a bit of a problem trying to limit a number of columns in a matrix appearing on a page.
At the moment, I have a dataset that lists the month and the mail packages that were sent during the month
The matrix works great HOWEVER, if there were more than 8 months in the matrix columns, it does not break and would make the page look like a huge landscape page.
I am trying to limit the number of columns appearing (this is the months column) on the matrix so that the pages stay in a potrait position. IE: every 8 columns appear on one page. Is there an option or an expression I could use in the Matrix ?
Thanks!

Is it possible to display only a certain number of columns in a matrix, say the first 6 and then hide the rest? That is, does the matrix allow to somehow control how many columns can be displayed from a column group and hide the remaining columns (I need this to limit the number of columns a user is able to see so that the matrix width does not get infinitely long).
In other words.....
I need to display the subtotals for all dynamically generated columns but display only first 6 columns. This way I can avoid having to display 50 columns and not have user scroll to so far right and keep the page width within reasonable limits. Hope I have made it clear.
Thanks.

Can we do this?
Adding more columns in a matrix report that don€™t
belong to the columns drilldown dimensions€¦
That is, for example, having the following report:
Product Family
Product
Country City Number of units sold
Then I
would add some ratios, that is, Units Sold/Months (sold per month) and other that
is the average for Product Family (Units Sold/Number of Product Family), for putting an example€¦ some
columns should be precalculated prior to the report so do not get into it, the
real problem I don€™t see how to solve is adding one or two columns for showing
these calculated column that doesn€™t depend on the column groups but they do
for the rows groups€¦
Any guidance
on that?
The only
way I am seeing by now is to set it as two different reports, and that is not
what my client wants€¦
Many
thanks,
Jose

I have a denormalized table (done so with reason) with around 40 columns. I would never have to retrieve data for all of those columns together.
I haven't done any performance measurements yet but just wondering if anyone has ready answer to this: Will there be a performance degradation if I retrieve data from a table with many columns, even if not all columns are referred in the query? (for making it simple, lets assume that all or varchar type of columns, I just want to find out if performance degrades if there are too many columns in table)
Thanks in advance,

We are looking at developing a new app with a SQL Server db. As such, we're all newbies.
What is the maximum number of columns I can put in a SQL Server table?
Thanks in advance.

I have a database hosted by GoDaddy. Recently they made some changes to the interface and upgraded to SQL Server 2008. One or the other has made it impossible to access my data in one table.
The table is quite large in terms of the numbers of elements. Each row describes a dog and all the elements are components of the description. There are (I would guess) more than 50 elements all together.
When I try to search the database, the query form goes beyond the top and bottom of the page. I can scroll the database but the search tool (which lies atop the data) does not scroll. The result is that I can't activate the search.
I've tried about 10 machines. All with IE6 display this fault. Machines with IE7 do not. I've tried various screen resolutions on the machines with IE6. That doesn't help.
I've checked other tables in the database. No problem.
In short, there's nothing I can do. I can't edit my data and GoDaddy says, "Tough."
Is there a limit on the number of columns (elements) in a table in SQL Server 2008?

Hi
I have a table (Sql server 2000) which has 14 cost columns for each record, and now due to a new requirement, I have 2 taxes which needs to be applied on two more fields called Share1 and share 2
e.g
Sales tax = 10%
Use Tax = 10%
Share1 = 60%
Share2 = 40%
So Sales tax Amt (A) = Cost1 * Share1 * Sales Tax
So Use tax Amt (B) = cost1 * share2 * Use tax
same calculation for all the costs and then total cost with Sales tax = Cost 1 + A , Cost 2 + A and so on..
and total cost with Use tax = Cost1 +B, Cost 2 +B etc.
So there are around 14 new fields required to save Sales Tax amt for each cost, another 14 new fields to store Cost with Sales Tax, Cost with Use tax. So that increases the table size.
Some of these fields might be used for making reports.
I was wondering which is a better approach out of the below 3:
1) To calculate these fields dynamically while displaying them on the User interface and not save in DB (while making reports, again calculate these fields dynamically and show), or
2) Add new formula field columns in database table to save each field, which would make the table size bigger, but reporting becomes easier.
3) Add only those columns in database on which reports needs to be made, calculate rest of the fields dynamically on screen.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I have a table called Employees which has lots of columns but I only want to count some specific columns of this table.
i.e. EmployeeID: 001
week1: 40
week2: 24
week3: 24
week4: 39
This employee (001) has two weeks below 32. How do I use the COUNT statement to calculate that within these four weeks(columns), how many weeks(columns) have the value below 32?
I have 3 columns. I would like to update a table based on job_cd and permit_nbr column. if we have same job_cd and permit_nbr, reference number should be same else it should take max(reference number) from the table +1 for all rows where reference_nbr column is null
job_cdpermit_nbrreference_nbr

What is the maximum number of columns you can have in a sql server express 2005 table?
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi,
I am currently designing a SSIS package to integrate data into a data warehouse fact table. This fact table has about 70 columns among which 17 are foreign keys for dimension tables.
To insert data in that table, I have to make several transformations and lookups. Given the fact that the lookups I have to make are a little complicated, I have about 70 tasks in my Data Flow.
I know it's a lot, but I can't find a way to make it simpler. It seems I really need all these tasks.
Now, the problem is that every new action I try to make on the package takes a lot of time. At design time, everything is very slow. My processor is eavily loaded each time I change a single setting in one of the tasks, and executing the package in debug mode takes for ages. If I take a look at the size of my package file on disk, it's more than 3MB.
Hence my question : Are there any limitations in terms of number of columns or number of tasks that can be processed within a Data Flow ?
If not, then do you have any idea why it's so slow ?
Thanks in advance for any answer.
I am working on a Statistical Reporting system where:
Data Repository: SQL Server 2005
Business Logic Tier: Views, User Defined Functions, Stored Procedures
Data Access Tier: Stored Procedures
Presentation Tier: Reporting ServicesThe end user will be able to slice & dice the data for the report by
different organizational hierarchies
different number of layers within a hierarchy
select a organization or select All of the organizations with the organizational hierarchy
combinations of selection criteria, where this selection criteria is independent of each other, and also differeBelow is an example of 2 Organizational Hierarchies:
Hierarchy 1
Country -> Work Group -> Project Team (Project Team within Work Group within Country)
Hierarchy 2
Client -> Contract -> Project (Project within Contract within Client)Based on 2 different Hierarchies from above - here are a couple of use cases:
Country = "USA", Work Group = "Network Infrastructure", Project Team = all teams
Country = "USA", Work Group = all work groups
Client = "Client A", Contract = "2007-2008 Maint", Project = "Accounts Payable Maintenance"
Client = "Client A", Contract = "2007-2008 Maint", Project = all
Client = "Client A", Contract = allI am totally stuck on:
How to implement the data interface (Stored Procs) to the Reports
Implement the business logic to handle the different hierarchies & different number of levelsI did get help earlier in this forum for how to handle a parameter having a specific value or NULL value (to select "all")
(WorkGroup = @argWorkGroup OR @argWorkGrop is NULL)
Any Ideas? Should I be doing this in SQL Statements or should I be looking to use Analysis Services.
Thanks for all your help!
Hi,
It looks like by default the subtotal number inherits the number format from the main column. Is there a way to override it?
In my case I am displaying percents with a decimal point in a column and sometimes the total comes out to 99.9% instead of 100%. I just want to round of the total to alway show 100%.
Is there a way to do it?
Thanks,

Hi there,
I have a matrix report that shows a certain columns and rows. I need a row counter to show me the amount of rows in that matrix but it doesn't count properly by using the expression: =Int(RowNumber("matrix1") -1)
I actually don't have any idea on what this expression should be to fix the row count...to illustrate what I get in the report:
______________________________________________________________________________
Chkp | Row | Serial No | Call of Date |Colour| Pillar | AV | Sport | USA | SRA | TAPE |
2019 | 1 | 7006892 | 2003/02/11 | 3644 | 78222 | 3902 | 9182 | | | |
| 3 | 7000123 | 2003/02/11 | 3299 | 17283 | | 9238 | 2793 | | |
| 5 | 7302031 | 2004/01/11 | 3902 | 28932 | | 3233 | 2332 | | |
| 7 | 7273211 | 2004/02/08 | 6727 | 39232 | 8228 | 3293 | | | |
| 8 | 7382728 | 2004/11/11 | 7822 | 32342 | 3902 | | | | |
| 13 | 7342934 | 2004/12/03 | 8323 | 23422 | 2031 | 9212 | 2934 | 2934 | 2982 |
| 18 | 7329491 | 2004/13/02 | 8291 | 92423 | 7922 | 0231 | 2342 | 2355 | 2223 |
| 22 | 7328438 | 2004/12/22 | 8399 | 92311 | | 0289 | 8392 | | 3982 |
As you can see above, the row count numbers are not lining up at all, it starts at 1, then jumps 2 every count then all of a sudden jumps 5 per line...a pattern that is interesting but difficult to understand. The unique value in this matrix is that serial number but even though i group it by the serial number, it still gives me the funny Row count values.
What would be the approach to solving this?
Regards
Mike

Hi Guys,
I am creating a report in Reporting Services 2000. I have a stored procedure that returns 4 columns with one column having 21 weeks of entries in it. I am using matrix to group these 21 weeks as 21 week columns created dynamically but when I preview the report it is only displaying columns for first 5 weeks.
Any idea why Reporting services is not displaying the rest of the columns? Any limitation on maxiumum number of columns that can be generated dynamically in SSRS 2000?
Any help will be highly appreciated.
I have the following matrix working:
Measurement M1 Measurement M2 etc....
Unit U1 Unit U2 Unit U1 Unit U2 etc...
Item I1 123 456 120 450
Item I2 111 444 110 440
I'd need to add the manufacturing date of the item to the report. For this I need an extra column next to the row header column (in red) and also a field header (in purple).
Measurement M1 Measurement M2 etc....
Art. Date Unit U1 Unit U2 Unit U1 Unit U2 etc...
Item I1 18Nov2007 123 456 120 450
Item I2 19Nov2007 111 444 110 440
I've tried copying and pasting the first column of the matrix, inserting columns or rows, but I allways end up with an extra grouping level, which I don't want.
The date is the manufacturing date of the item, so it is an attribute of the item, not a separate level of detail.
Anyone knows how to add this extra column to the row header ?
Also, how do I add a column header like "Art." or "Date" in the example above ? I was thinking of placing a text box above the first cell of the matrix, as a kludge.
Hi,

Hi
I have a matrix report. It expands to the right when the user chooses the amounts of months he/she wishes to see. Then it is populated with revenues for each month and deportment. On the matrix report I have put in a couple of Subtotals. Some of the totals are empty due to a month in a department with no revenue.
I wish to see a 0 on the subtotal column but I don€™t want to see a 0 on the month column. If I use
=IIF( Fields!Revenue.Value is Nothing, "0", Fields!Revenue.Value)
on the month columns I will see 0 all over the place. But I only want a 0 on the subtotal column. Can I do this?
Thanks in advanced
Kind regards

Hi everybody, I've a big Matrix with 50 columns and 20 rows, I would like to hide the columns in 'real time' is it possible? for example:
-col_1 -col_2 -col_3 -col_N
row_1 a b c d
row_2 a b c d
row_3 a b c d
row_N . . . .
If we don't want to see the col_1 and col_3 , we can give a click and hiding, is it possible? maybe with the option 'visibility can be toggled by another report item' or expanded and collapsed option, some idea?
Regards,
Marcos
