Sharing A Dataset In Multiple Reports?
Sep 26, 2007
I'm looking for some advice on how to manage reports that use the same query in their datasets. I have multiple reports that use several datasets that are the same. If I need to make a change to one dataset, I need to remember to update the other datasets. Of course I don't always remember to do that!
Is there a way to create a dataset in a single location and then share it? I was thinking of using a View but I don't think it'll accept the parameters.
I've been cutting & pasting the entire query as I make change but I'm afraid it'll mess that up or forget to update a dataset.
How do you do it?
Any suggestions you have would be helpful.

Hi,
Can we share and schedule whole report folder(not just one report) by using management studio?
Thanks

To date I have found no way of defining styles that can be shared either between objects or between reports.
I am looking for the concept of the rdl making a reference to an external css (or equivalent) file. This would allow for me to define a font or image external to the rdl and shared among all my reports. Currently if I want to change my header image, I need to edit 50 rdl files across the reporting suite.
What work arounds are available for this? Is this a coming feature enhancement? If so when? Does the reporting team publish a list of future enhancments?
I know crystal and few other reporting packages have the concept of css or style external to the report.
Cheers

I found out the data I need for my SQL Report is already defined in a dynamic dataset on another web service. Is there a way to use web services to call another web service to get the dataset I need to generate a report? Examples would help if you have any, thanks for looking

Hi guys,I've got two apps that are going to have pretty much the same users and i wanted them to have the same ASPNET.MDF user database. Is it possible to store the ASPNET.MDF in a different location and then have the two apps access it from there or alternatively have it in the App_Data folder of one of the apps and then have the second app access it from there?Thanx

Does 7.0 allow multiple databases to share a data file/log file?
Will a large data device file shared by 10-25 databases present any problems?

Hey guys and girls,
This seems like a no brainer, but it's driving me nuts. I want one XML file for the entire solution. There are multiple packages in the solution which have different Connections in the conntion Managers. The packages share some connection names, and some are unique to the package.
Example:
LoadData.dtsx would have a source database connection named (SourceDB_OLEDB) and a oledb connection (DataWarehouse_OLEDB).
LoadDataMart.dtsx would use the same name for the (DataWarehouse_OLEDB) connection and have another oledb connection (DataMart_OLEDB)
I want one XML config file that has all the connection strings, but the problem is that the LoadDataMart.dtsx will throw an error:
Error 1 Error loading LoadDataMart.dtsx: The connection "SourceDB_OLEDB" is not found. This error is thrown by Connections collection when the specific connection element is not found. c:ssisLoadDataMart.dtsx 1 1
Thanks,
James

I have a situation where I would like to set up one DB server instance for US and anther one for AUStralia. The Instance should share the same data base/hardsisk. One of the instances will be running in using US time zone and anothe one in Australia time zone.
There will be 2 Application instaces one poinint to each SQL Server instance. This applications does write into the database
So the underlying requirment is to have 2 database server running in differnet time zones but accessing the same disk/set of data
What is the best way to do this? Is it linked servers?Girish

Hi every1,
I really need your help.
I have a web form which is having Drop Down box in which I have 2 selection 'P' and 'C'. Depending upon the selection I have to call the Dataset( If I can make it in code behind) or I can do it in one Complex query if you guys will help me.
Query should be like this.
select a.* , case when selection='P' then select p.column1 from ptable p
case when selection='C' then select c.column1 from ctable c
else a.column1
from atable a
where
acolumn2 = "USERINPUT"
but now the problem is in FROM and Where Clause.
when selection is 'P' then I have to include ptable in FROM Clause and in where clause I have to include two condition like (p.column1 = a.column1 and p.column2="USERINPUT1" or
if selection is 'C' then I have to include ctable in FROM clause and in where clause I have to include two different condition like (c.column1 = a.column1 and c.column2="USERINPUT")
So at once the Query will be any of one like below:
(1) some times this:
select a.* , case when selection='P' then select p.column1 from ptable p
case when selection='C' then select c.column1 from ctable c
else a.column1
from atable a, ptable p
where
a.column2 = "USERINPUT" and
p.column1 = a.column1 and p.column2="USERINPUT1"
----------------------------
(2) some times this:
select a.* , case when selection='P' then select p.column1 from ptable p
case when selection='C' then select c.column1 from ctable c
else a.column1
from atable a, ctable c
where
a.column2 = "USERINPUT" and
c.column1 = a.column1 and c.column2="USERINPUT"
Please let me know if you have any kind of confusion so I can clear this but if you got everything from my description please do help me to solve this. I am really struggling for this.
One way I was thinking to generate 3 dataset one(query or dataset) for 'P' , one for 'C' and one for else so I can get the input (selection) from the form and then decide in codebehind which dataset I have to make call so no need to write complex query. But this is my thought and I dont know how to make a call and everything either so please help me in this as well, if you like this solution .
Or try to solve the above query please.
Thanks

I have created a lot of reports using this technique, but this is the first one that doesn't work. As there is absolutely nothing special about it, I can't figure out what the issue is.
I have one dataset that uses parameters chosen from two other dataset results. One dataset result runs just fine and returns values in reporting services, but the other returns blank in reporting services. In Visual Studio, both datasets return data.
I cannot for the life of me figure out what I've done that gives this result as I've never encountered it before and use this method of parametization quite frequently.
The dataset in question doesn't even join any tables, it's a direct select distinct field"1" from table"a".
I'm running SQL2005, SP2.
Thanks for any advice.

I am trying to create a report using Reporting Services.
My problem right now is that the way the table is constructed, I am trying to pull 3 seperate values i.e. One is the number of Hours, One is the type of work, and the 3rd is the Grade, out of one column and place them in 3 seperate columns in the report.
I can currently get one value but how to get the information I need to be able to use in my reports.
So far what I've been working with SQL Reporting Services 2005 I love it and have made several reports, but this one has got me stumped.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
I might not have made my problem quite clear enough. My table has one column labeled value. The value in that table is linked through an ID field to another table where the ID's are broken down to one ID =Number of Hours, One ID = Grade and One ID= type of work.
What I'm trying to do is when using these ID's and seperate the value related to those ID's into 3 seperate columns in a query for using in Reporting Services to create the report
As you can see, I'm attempting to change the name of the same column 3 times to reflect the correct information and then link them all to the person, where one person might have several entries in the other fields.
As you can see I can change the names individually in queries and pull the information seperately, it's when roll them altogether is where I'm running into my problem
Thanks for the suggestions that were made, I apoligize for not making the problem clearer.
Here is a copy of what I'm attempting to accomplish. I didn't have it with me last night when posting.
--Pulls the Service Opportunity
SELECT cs.value AS "Service Opportunity"
FROM Cstudent cs
INNER JOIN cattribute ca ON ca.attributeid = cs.attributeid
WHERE ca.name = 'Service Opportunity'
--Pulls the Number of Hours
SELECT cs.value AS 'Number of Hours'
FROM Cstudent cs
INNER JOIN cattribute ca ON ca.attributeid =cs.attributeid
WHERE ca.name ='Num of Hours'
--Pulls the Person Grade Level
SELECT cs.value AS 'Grade'
FROM Cstudent cs
INNER JOIN cattribute ca ON ca.attributeid =cs.attributeid
WHERE ca.name ='Grade'
--Pulls the Person Number, First and Last Name and Grade Level
SELECT s.personnumber, s.lastname, s.firstname, cs.value as "Grade"
FROM student s
INNER JOIN cperson cs ON cs.personid = s.personid
INNER JOIN cattribute ca ON ca.attributeid = cs.attributeid
WHERE cs.value =(SELECT cs.value AS 'Grade'
WHERE ca.attributeid = cs.attributeid AND ca.name='Grade')

I defined two dataset (query getting data from same database)
In report designer, I inserted a group and drap columns from first dataset. and inserted second group, when i dragcolumns from second dataset it shows like this
=First(Fields!GroupStatus.Value, "ParentGroup")
in my first group columns shows like
=Fields!Member.Value
when i run the report i am getting one row in second group.
this looks like very basic mistake I am doing, since I don't have any experience in RS2005, i am posting this question,
thanks in advance

Hi,
I have to design a tabular report where the data in all the columns of the table comes from the cube, but for one column where the data comes from the ODS table.
Could anyone please let me know if it is possible to combine the results of the query from a cube with query from an ODS table and display together in a single report?
Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated

I usually use Access for my database work, but a recent request needs data from a table with about 8 million records - a mite outside of Access' league.
So, I am using SQL Server Report Services to create this report.
Essentially, I need to be able to use a table from database A and a table from databse B in a single dataset for the report I'm making.
I'm self-learning this package and have not been able to locate if this is even possible, let alone how to do it. I can't see it not being possible, so I figure the procedure is simply eluding me.
I've seen a thread on a similar - if not the same - problem, and the answers given all seemed to be based upon the user being able to write to the database server or in some other manner manipulate the server. I have no such capabilities. All I can do is look at the data and create a report based upon what I see. No write access at all.
This wasn't a problem in Access, because, though the main data was on the server, I linked to any needed tables and everything else was local to my box.
Thanx in advance for any help!

Hi,
Is it possible to populate a dataset with tables returned by a stored proc?Consider this:
BEGINSELECT * FROM Table1SELECT * FROM Table2SELECT * FROM Table3END
If that is my stored proc, could I call it from a page and automatically populate a dataset with all 3 tables (if yes, then how?), or would I have to make 3 seperate calls to the db for each table?
Thanks

Hi,
I have a stored proc which returns multiple result sets. These results sets I am capturing using a strongly typed dataset which in turn I am using to display in the code. My dataset will have 5 tables. However when I run the code only 3 tables get populated and the remaining 2 gets no data.
I have seen the problem earlier and could not resolved it. Please let me know if any one can help.
Thanks in advance

I would like to know how to dynamically change the And/Or value on the Filter tab within a dataset.
Here are my two expressions within the filter:
Code Snippet
=Switch(Parameters!TotalCostFilterOp.Value = "=",Fields!tcost.Value = Parameters!TotalCost.Value,Parameters!TotalCostFilterOp.Value = ">",Fields!tcost.Value > Parameters!TotalCost.Value,Parameters!TotalCostFilterOp.Value = ">=",Fields!tcost.Value >= Parameters!TotalCost.Value,Parameters!TotalCostFilterOp.Value = "between",Fields!tcost.Value >= Parameters!TotalCost.Value AND Fields!tcost.Value <= Parameters!TotalCost2.Value,Parameters!TotalCostFilterOp.Value = "ie", ISNothing(Fields!tcost.Value), Parameters!TotalCostFilterOp.Value= "<",Fields!tcost.Value < Parameters!TotalCost.Value,Parameters!TotalCostFilterOp.Value = "<=",Fields!tcost.Value <= Parameters!TotalCost.Value,Parameters!TotalCostFilterOp.Value = "<>",Fields!tcost.Value <> Parameters!TotalCost.Value)
Code Snippet
=Switch(Parameters!CompanyFilterOp.Value = "%",LCASE(Fields!company.Value) like "*" & LCASE(Parameters!Company.Value) & "*", Parameters!CompanyFilterOp.Value = "=",Fields!company.Value = Parameters!Company.Value, Parameters!CompanyFilterOp.Value = "ie", ISNothing(Fields!company.Value), Parameters!CompanyFilterOp.Value = "?", LCASE(Fields!company.Value) LIKE LCASE(Parameters!Company.Value), Parameters!CompanyFilterOp.Value = "<>", Fields!company.Value <> Parameters!Company.Value, Parameters!CompanyFilterOp.Value = "?%", LCASE(Fields!company.Value) LIKE LCASE(Parameters!Company.Value) & "*")
The operator for both these is set to "=", and the value is set to "=true".
Based on user selection in a report wizard, the 4th column (And/Or) may need to be changed from 'and' to 'or', or vice-versa.
Is there anyway to accomplish this programatically?
Thanks in advance for you help!

Hi,
OK, trying to return the results from two SQL statements into a DataSet using SqlDataAdapter. The SELECT statements query the same table but are looking for different records based on the date that the records were inserted - the 1st query looks for records fro the current month and the 2nd one looks at the same records but for the previous month. The goal is to be able to do some math within a repeater and get the difference between the two records.
Sounds easy enough and it has worked for me in different variations of the same idea but not this time - here's the code:
Protected Sub buildPartsReport(ByVal varHC) objConn.Open() sSQL = "SELECT ap.id,item_model,item_sn,aircraft_id,item_loc=item_type+ ' on ' +(SELECT tnum FROM T_Aircraft WHERE id=aircraft_id),apt.tot_time As endTimes,apt.tot_cycles as endCycles FROM T_Aircraft_Parts ap, T_Aircraft_Parts_Totals apt WHERE ap.id=apt.part_id AND report_date= '" & rD & "' AND item_type LIKE 'engine%';SELECT ap.id,apt.part_id,apt.tot_time as startTimes,apt.tot_cycles as startCycles FROM T_Aircraft_Parts ap, T_Aircraft_Parts_Totals apt WHERE ap.id=apt.part_id AND report_date= '" & oldRD & "' AND item_type LIKE 'engine%'" Dim objCommand As New SqlDataAdapter(sSQL, objConn) DS = New DataSet() objCommand.Fill(DS) Repeater1.DataSource = DS Repeater1.DataBind() DS.Dispose() objCommand.Dispose() objConn.Close() End Sub
Sorry if it wrapped a bit. The "rD" and "oldRD" are the variables for the date ranges (currently set to static numbers for testing). I'm getting the following error when I run this on an ASP.Net page:
System.Web.HttpException: DataBinding: 'System.Data.DataRowView' does not contain a property with the name 'startTimes'.
The code works fine when run via the Query Tool on the SQL server (SQL 2005 Std) though it produces two distinct "tables" which I'm guessing is the problem. I've tried variations on the code including creating a 2nd dataset and then attempting a merge (no joy) and I've tried the ".TableName" route but it complains about trying to add the tablename twice.
Thoughts? I need to get this to work - it is part of a reporting component for an application that I'm developing and I'm stuck. Thanks as always...

Hi!
I have a question about SQL Reporting Services. I have a stored procedure which returns multiple resultsets (multiple select). In my reporting services project I have a dataset that connects to this procedure. But, when I execute it in the Data tab, I only get the first resultset. So can't I have more resultsets?
I can't use more datasets (that have the selects in the procedure) because the procedure is complicated and has many calculation. I've managed to get all the selects in only one and the reporting services in working in this way. How about many resultsets in a dataset?
Thank you!

Hello,
I have the following tables :
Area
areano
areaname
Locality
locno
areano
RequestType
reqid
reqdtls
WebSummit
SummitId
RequestorName
DateOfRequest
reqid
Areano
I want to display the total no. of Addition, Removals and Relocations during the past 3 months in a paticular Area.
I have written the query for this.
select q.[areaname] as Area,
classCount as TotalCount, ReqType
from ( select a.areano,
a.classCount, ReqType
from ( select areano,
count(*) as classCount, reqdtls as ReqType
from WebSummit
join RequestType
on WebSummit.reqid = RequestType.reqid
where date_created >= dateadd(mm, -3, getdate())
group by areano, reqdtls
) a
join WebSummit b
on a.areano = b.areano
group by a.areano,
a.classCount, ReqType
) p
join Area q
on p.areano = q.areano
The query works fine and has been tested. Now I want to display this in chart format.
The display should be in a chart format, one for each area showing a bar for each RequestType.
I have placed "TotalCount" in the Data Fields section and ReqType in Category fields. How do I use the Filter to set an expression so that it displays the data in a seperate chart for each Area.
I tried using =Fields!Area.Value and set it to Area1 to display only Area1 values, however the preview shows nothing.
Plz help me out.
Here's some sample data

Hi, has anyone been able to implement something like this?
I have two data sets
1) List of all stores
2) Table containing the following fields: store, sales as of end of quarter, quarter end date
I am creating a graph that would track the trend of sales quarter per quarter for each store and would need to have an individual graph for each.
Is there a way to dynamically do this rather than creating an individual recordset for each store?
Thanks

Hi,
I want to design a report in which it will contain fields derived from 2 different stored procedures. I understand a 'table' can display data from a single dataset. How can i bind these two stored procedures into a single dataset so as when i click on the table and use its property 'DataSetName', to be able to select the dataset which holds all columns from stored proc 1 and stored proc 2. How can i link multible tables ( multible stored procedures with different column names in each one) into a single dataset to feed the report?
Thank you

I'm looking to build a report that is basically a series of line charts that is plotting a value over time. I can accomplish this one chart/dataset at a time, but I believe with 'List's this can be achieved in a more automated fashion.If I have some data similar to this:
Area_ID, Location_Name, DataValue, ReadingDate
1,Site1,100,1990-10-10
1,Site1,110,1990-11-11
1,Site2,105,1994-01-07
1,Site2,105,1994-02-07
2,Site3,113,1994-06-02
2,Site3,120,1994-07-30
2,Site4,120,1994-06-30
2,Site4,120,1994-07-30
I want the charts grouped by the Area_ID, and then each Location_Name is a Series in that chart. So in this example, I would end up with 2 charts (Areas 1 & 2), each have 2 series (Area 1: Site1, Site2 and Area 2: Site3, Site4)Is it possible to build this with a list? or do I need to structure the data differently?

Hi all,
I have created a report that everyone is happy with.
My dataset (simplified) looks like this:
SELECT *
FROM FamilyMember
WHERE QuestionnaireID = @QuestionnaireID
Now, instead of running individual reports the users want to run several reports on a list of QuestionnaireID's.
I thought something like this would work:
SELECT *
FROM FamilyMember
WHERE QuestionnaireID IN (@QuestionnaireID)
but RS complains about converting '152,153' to an INT.
Is there a way to accomplish this?
I am guessing I need to convert the nvarchar @QuestionnaireID to a real list of INTs but am unsure how to do this...

Hi there,
I have a MS Access database (mdb) containing the following tables:
Crime
Criminal
CrimeCommitted
Hideout
CriminalType
The Criminal table contains information about each criminal and the CrimeCommitted table contains information about the specific crimes. I've written the following query to return only the latest crime committed by each criminal:
Code Snippet
SELECT Criminal.CriminalID, Criminal.Firstname, Criminal.Lastname, Criminal.Nickname, Criminal.Gender, Criminal.DOB, Criminal.Eyes, Criminal.Complexion, Criminal.Weight, Criminal.Height, Criminal.Build, Criminal.Scars, Criminal.Occupation, Criminal.CrimeOrgID, Criminal.IQ, Criminal.Hideout, Criminal.CriminalType, Max(CrimeComitted.Date) AS Last_Crime_Comitted
FROM Criminal INNER JOIN CrimeComitted ON Criminal.CriminalID=CrimeComitted.CriminalID
GROUP BY Criminal.CriminalID, Criminal.Firstname, Criminal.Lastname, Criminal.Nickname, Criminal.Gender, Criminal.DOB, Criminal.Eyes, Criminal.Complexion, Criminal.Weight, Criminal.Height, Criminal.Build, Criminal.Scars, Criminal.Occupation, Criminal.CrimeOrgID, Criminal.IQ, Criminal.Hideout, Criminal.CriminalType;
This query works fine for obtaining the Criminal table data, but once i've include CrimeCommitted.Country in the SELECT statement, the data returned contained all the crimes committed by each criminal (i just need the latest crime).
The query doesn't work when another table, other than Criminal, is selected. How can i obtain the columns in the CrimeCommitted table in this query?

I have a report that I pass parameters of a clientID. I run the report and export it to a .pdf file. I would like to be able to do this for multiple clients without manually having to enter the ID each time and exporting it.
I have thought about creating a report that calls this report so that I can pass in the clientID one at a time. The problem is trying to export each one.
Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance!
