Sorting Parameter Values In SSRS Model Based Report

I have created a report using Report designer (Visual Studio, using Data Model as a data source), in the report I had created few datasets (with single filed) to populate the report parameters, lets say I have created a multi valued Parameter CustomerName and assigned field from a dataset,
result are coming correctly and combo box is getting populated but the customers are not in alphabetical order!
I want to sort it and need to specify it in report (please note that I am using Report Model as a data source and I can€™t sort the source table in the data base to get the result sorted)

Full-text Indexing Of An Image Column With A .PDF File
Mar 16, 2005Hi,
I am having difficulty in indexing a Table when it contains a PDF file in an Image column. Basically I have a table with a unique id, some other fields, and an Image column. The Image column contains uploaded files from a web application. Full-text indexing works fine for all types of files that I have uploaded into this table which includes (.doc, .xls, .ppt) but I get the following message in my Event Viewer if one of thee files is a PDF file.
One or more documents stored in the Image columns with extension '.pdf' did not get full-text indexed because loading the filter failed with error '1x01'.
I have searched Microsoft's site and implemented their prescribed fixes but none has worked including installation of SP3 of Sql Server and/or modifying the registry key to run the Sql server indexing procedure as a single threaded process.
Has anyone experienced this problem? Please help.
Thanks

Reading A Text File With Fixed Length Column
May 11, 2008Hi,
I would like to read from a Text File using SSIS Integration Package.
The file has a fixed number of columns, let's say 3 columns.
There is no row header and each columns length is fixed. There is no delimiter as well.
Here is the sample of the file contents:
John Doe USA
Mary Monroe UK
Andy Archibald Singapore
Here is the hints to read the file contents
123456789
0123456789
0123456789
==============================
John Doe USA
Mary Monroe UK
Andy Archibald Singapore
If you notice, from the 1st column until the 9th column, it's reserved for the first name.
The 10-th column until the 19th column, it's reserved for the last name. Finally the 20-th column until the 29th column is reserved for the Origin Country.
Since there's no delimiter inside the flat file contents, i have difficulty in parsing this text using SSIS Package.
Please let me know if you need any necessary information.
Thanks for all your help.

Hadi Teo.

My DTS Package In Via Enterprise Manager Will Not Export Entire Column To A Text File
Nov 28, 2007I have created a DTS package that pulls data from one column (varchar,600) in a table and exports it to a text file. The max length in this field is only 285 characters long, however, the end of one of the records is being truncated in the text file. Data is tab delimited in the table and is being exported that way.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Loading Flat File With Embedded Column, Text Delimiters And Newline
Jun 14, 2007I have the misfortune of converting a DTS package to SSIS that loads a flat file that has a text fields that can contain embedded text delimiters ("), column delimiters (,) and even new lines (CR+LF i.e.,hex 0D 0A) in it. A sample line from the file is posted here, remember this is just one line though it shows as three lines, since the third field has embedded new line in it:
4,"Sam","EVP; MARKETING PRODUCT MANAGER ""Level I"",
Internet Sales / HELP
8005551212",100
If you open in excel it handles it perfectly showing four fields, as below, and this is what I want ( I cannot get it aligned right in the posting, just save the above line in *.csv and open to see what it should be):
4 Sam "EVP; MARKETING PRODUCT MANAGER ""Level I"", 100
Internet Sales / HELP
8005551212"
Now, SSIS errors on the embedded text delimiters and breaks into two or three lines based on which option I chose. I have tried few options based on postings in the forum:
a). Using undouble and undoubleout: Does not work when there are embedded column delimiters (,) in the text field
b). Modified undouble script posted by lvovg at http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1718225&SiteID=1. Handles the embedded column delimiters (,) perfectly, but the embedded new lines (CR+LF i.e.,hex 0D 0A) are breaking it.
Since, I am using the ragged right format to read from the file then use transform script on the line by lvovg, the line is already broken by the ragged right format at the embedded new lines, hence does not work.
Right now I am stuck. Can someone please help (anyone from MS) ? I am already baffled at the amount of coding required to convert a very basic ( and working ) flat file load DTS package to SSIS. I am willing to persist bit longer to convert this to SSIS, before I give up and stick with DTS and wait for a fix / workaround.
Thanks.
Sorting Stored Procedure By Text Field
Mar 19, 2001I want to sort a stored procedure based on a variable passed to it... what is the easiest way to do this? Here's an example of what I want to do:
sp_select_thing 10, 'thing_name', 'asc'
It would run the query then somehow evaluate parameters 2 and 3 to be placed in the ORDER BY clause. I'm not sure if they should be quoted as strings or not, I don't have an idea how to pass a "reference to a variable" as a parameter to a stored procedure... or even if such a thing is possible

Column Based On Other Column (short Name Based On Name), When To Do The Transformation?
Oct 18, 2007Hi!
I am designing a dimension table which will include a short name column based on the (full) name column. For example say Product dimension where I will have ProductName and ProductShortName. ProductShortName will be the first 6 characters of ProductName. I could populate ProductShortName using:
Substring in the select when I select from the original system, e.g. SUBSTR(PRODUCT_NAME, 1, 6) AS ProductShortName
Create a derived column in the SSIS flow which does the same thing
Create the ProductShortName column as a computed column which uses substring on ProductName
Create a trigger that populates ProductShortName based on ProductName when a row is inserted or updated
Create a named calculation in the table in the Analysis Services project's data source view
Create a named query in the Analysis Services project's data source view
I usually use 1, and 5 or 6 would only be used if I only will create reports against the cubes. 3 seems easiest to maintain, so I am thinking about using that one, but maybe it is slow for the data flow as I imagine it must be something like using 4, or when is the column "created" at runtime, i.e. when the table is queried?
Which approach(es) do or would you use? Pros and cons?
Thanks!

Passing Parameter To OLAP As A Free Text And Interactive Sorting In Matrix
Apr 30, 2007Dear All,
I am facing one problem with reporting services 2005 (SSRS), When i try to pass a parameter to Cube which is built in SSAS, i can not use a parameter where i can type the value instead of choosing it from a dimension.
Any way we can type the value for parameter, instead choosing from the drop down? If can, then how can we create the parameter? and how can i write a MDX to read it?
Thanks.

Next Run Date Column Not Sorting
Jul 20, 2005We've just installed SQL Server 2000 on one of our servers and havenoticed a strange behavior. When clicking the column headings in thejob display in Enterprise Manager, the list is sorted (first clickascending, then descending) on the column clicked except for "Next RunDate." When we click on "Next Run Date," the list is reordered, butrandomly. Each time we click it we get a different order but neverascending or descending. This is true whether we're at the server oron a remote machine. We never saw this behavior with SQL Server 7.0.Any ideas? Thanks!

Sorting Three Different Data Through One Column With 2 Values Only.
Jan 21, 2008
can anyone please help on a sql statement that would sort out three kinds of data. let's say i have a column that contains a status flag. there are only 2 possible values, add and delete. now, i want to sort out three kinds of data: add_only, delete_only, and update. Update is the data that contains duplicate records in the table. Which means, there are two rows having same "student_number" but two different status flags. This happens when there's an update or change in data, such as new address or new phone number. The old row/data is sent with status flag of delete, while the updated data is sent with status flag of add. Example below. An output table with a new column of tag is created.

Sorting A Column In Descending Order Which Contains Two Years
May 21, 2014I am trying to sort this simplied table:
ID - Time
1 2000-2001
2 2002-
3 2001-2003
4 1999
5 2005-2006
I want this as a result:
1999
2000-2001
2001-2003
2005-2006
2002-
Because the "-" means "continues", it the thing is still activated, so if it makes it easier, i could put the today's year afterwards during the query, if it ends with a - ...
Now, simply doing a
SELECT * FROM [table] ORDER BY TIME;
Sorts it "perfectly", apart from the "2002-" is just placed before 2005 and after 2001.
So, of course, it fails on all entries with a leading "-" ...
Right when I clicked "submit", of course, I can simply replace all entries with a time ending with "-", with the todays Year, so at least they will get at the end of the query...
Well, have to do a union, first sorting all without the "-", then sorting all with the "-", and that should be it...

Dynamic Column Sorting After Merge Join
Feb 25, 2008
Hello,
I have data coming in from two sources, one being SQL and the other being Oracle. The end result needs to be a CSV file with the columns in a specific order. I have a Data Flow task setup that takes both sources and does a Merge Join on them. I can add a Sort Transformation and manually set the sorting of all 156 columns that end up going to a CSV file destination. However, I have a table setup that holds the names of the 156 columns and the order that the CSV file expects them to be in. I would much rather do this step dynamically as the column names and order may change in the future. Anyone who has used the Sort Transformation for a large number of columns knows how tedious it can be and how adding a column in the middle will cause you to change the sort # for each of the columns that come after it.
So I added a Script Component between the Merge Join and the Flat File Destination hoping that I could alter the order of the columns there. However I added the following code and found that the SortKeyPosition is ReadOnly.
Public Overrides Sub Input0_ProcessInputRow(ByVal Row As Input0Buffer)
Dim column As IDTSInputColumn90
For Each column In Me.ComponentMetaData.InputCollection(0).InputColumnCollection
column.SortKeyPosition = 1
Next
End Sub
I was hoping to add some code to get the sort index from my table for each of the columns and set it to the SortKeyPosition. Has anyone out there done this before or seen an example that might point me in the right direction? I've searched for 2 days without coming up with much.
Thanks!
