Subtotals In Table (group Footer) Using Report Items 2005
Aug 31, 2007
How can I calculate a subtotal for a Report Item? I have a textbox(lets call it "PlusMinus") in the detail section of my table, which is a calculated textbox of two others (lets call them "Budget" and "Spent"). So, PlusMinus = (Budget - Spent). What I would like to do is get a subtotal for PlusMinus. I have tried several ways, using Sum() or RunningValue, even tried to write code, but I can't seem to get it right. Any ideas??
I am trying to achieve something as above. Basically, the Months subtotals are represented by A and B. Then (X-A) and (X-A-B) are also the subtotals at the same group level as A and B but don't simply display the total for respective years 2007 and 2008, instead those are remaning totals from X. In order to calculate the remaining totals however, one need to consider the subtotal in previous group. For example, for 2007 its X-A, but for 2008 its X-A-B. I would like to know if this can be achieved using Matrix control. If so, what would be the steps?
I am having a main report having two subreports, say M1,S1 and S2 respectively.
The issue is S2 normally tend to go beyond one page, for all pages except first page of the of the subreport I am getting the page header and footer blank,
Actually this is not loading the ReportItems that are used in main report but it shows text boxes containing strings for eg . "My Name" and date functions eg Today()
I have a report that is being called via stored proc, and i want to group by contract. when report gets generated i get multiple contracts info. but will be grouped/sorted by contract.
please how can i have a group header and also a group footer to show a summary of each contract information with some calculated fields in it.
i may get 100 records related to 10 contracts , 10 rows for each contract.
as soon as the first contract info is shown on the report it has to show a summary related to the first contract in the group footer, and then continue populating the second contract info and so on.
Please i am totally new to reporting and help would be appreciated. thank you all.
Hi. First, I am VERY new to SQL Queries and Reporting. A co-worker is "mentoring" me, but I am trying not to fill his day with questions.
I HAVE read the help files, searched the forums, looked at books, and done general web searches, but any answers I have found have either no addressed my issue, or the answers are way over my head.
Furthermore, the (SQL 2000) DB is built into proprietary software (ISS Proventia Intrusion Prevention System), and the database may NOT be modified outside of the software.
With that said, I am querying multiple tables within the DB. I am using Business Intelligence Dev Studio, and placing my queries on a reporting server maintained by my co-worker. My goal is not only to get a solution, but also to UNDERSTAND it so I can continue to learn. Of course, the solution takes precedence over my understanding!
My Primary key is dbo.SensorData1.SensorDataID. dbo.SensorDataAVP.AttributeText returns a different number of rows, containing different data depending upon the value of dbo.SensorData1.AlertName. I need to return all rows, hence the Left Joins.
Depending upon my query, I might have 1000 events, and due to the many rows of data from dbo.SensorData1.AlertName I might return 20,000 rows (or more.)
I would like to return a report that "groups" events by dbo.SensorData1.SensorDataID., BUT, rather than simply providing these in groups, provides me single rows with a plus sign next to each even, that can be expanded for the additional data.
My co-worker has discussed sub-tables, but since I cannot modify the DB, it will be difficult / complex to do so, AND, for me to understand.
One of my queries follows. I have thirteen queries, total, that use various groupings of attributes. I have chosen one of the more complex combinations so I can generally apply the concept to the queries with fewer parameters more easily.
Note, I'll be asking the same question on www.sqlservercentral.com in the hopes of getting an answer I can understand one of these two places - If you answer here, there's obviously no need answering there answering there.
I have a sum , which is filtered within its table group, and then i have a fields in the footer. How would i aggregate these too together and use the result in another row within the footer.
[rsInvalidAggregateScope] The Value expression for the textbox €˜textbox129€™ 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 data set.
I have a table with a row group "Sales Area" that lists customers per sales area. There is one column with the sales per customer and another column with the planned sales per customer.A third column "Under Plan" is a simple calculation that compares the two Report Items of the sales to the plan and puts a 1 there if plan is higher. My issue is how to get the total of the group "Sales Area", to display the group total of all customers that are under plan. SSRS doesn't let me use aggregate functions on group totals;Unfortunately I cannot pre-calculate the "Under Plan" figure in the query, since this example is a simplified overview (the customers is a distinct count for example...)
I have a report (bills of lading for shipments) that uses a table to organize the data coming in and groups by customer. Each customer grouping has a header, body and footer in the table. A print run might generate 100 bills of lading, each between 1 and 4 pages long.
I have marked the group to force a new page when each new group occurs.
As it is the report runs beautifully EXCEPT that the footer prints wherever it happens to end up -- midway down the final page of the bill and looks quite goofy.
What I really need (and my client is really surprised that SSRS won't me) is to print the group footer at the bottom of the final page of each bill of lading.
Bills of lading may be several pages per customer, so until the group footer is hit, I don't want any footer info at all. As I said, it all works fine except for the final page of each bill, where the group footer occurs whereever it has ended up.

This post didn't get much of a response. So perhaps I should amend it -- If what I am trying to do is impossible, what would be the preferred way?
I'm having an issue creating a report that can group & sum similar items together (I know in some ways, the requirement doesn't make sense, but it's what the client wants).
I have a table of items (i.e. products). Â In some cases, items can be components of another item (called "Kits"). Â In this scenario, we consider the kit itself, the "parent item" and the components within the kit are called "child items". Â In our Items table, we have a field called "Parent_Item_Id". Â Records for Child Items contain the Item Id of the parent. Â So a sample of my database would be the following:
Item's 2 & 3 are child items of "Kit A", Item 5 is a child item of "Kit B" and Item 6 is just a stand alone item.
So, in my report, the client wants to see the SUM of both the kit & its components in a single line, grouped by the parent item. Â So an example of the report would be the following:
Name | Available Qty -------------------------- Kit A | 15 Kit B | 25 Item 4 | 100
I have contracts grouped by project then grouped by division. On the division group header I want to show the subtotal of all active projects only. CountDistinct(Fields!ProjectId.Value) gives me count of all projects.
I can't figure out what I need to get only a subset of projects counted. I need something like:
SELECT LTRIM(LoanAnalyst) AS [Loan Analyst] ,DischargeType AS [Discharge Type] ,CONVERT(varchar, DateCompleted, 101) AS [Date Completed] ,COUNT(ClaimID) As [Completions]
[Code] ....
This produces this
Loan AnalystDischarge TypeDate CompletedCompletions Bill ReidType 1 3/3/20151 Bill ReidType 1 2/11/20151 Bill ReidType 2 3/11/201518 Bill ReidType 3 3/11/20151 Bill ReidType 4 3/11/20159
[Code] ....
I would like my results to look like this. I've tried using WITH ROLLUP but it doesn't give me the below.
Loan AnalystDischarge TypeDate CompletedCompletions Bill ReidType 1 3/3/20151 Bill ReidType 1 2/11/20151 Bill ReidType 2 3/11/201518 Bill ReidType 3 3/11/20151 Bill ReidType 4 3/11/20159 30
The problem that i'm having right now is on the layout designer somehow programming the subtotals based on the IDs. Am i thinking in the right direction that I should be using the layout designer to do this? Or should this be done programmatically?
select top 15 count(*) as cnt, state from table group by state order by cnt desc
[code[...
Can the above three queries be combined into one and still be fast, if so how?What i am trying to go is an item count, by group, similar to ones Inbox in Outlook.
I have a matrix with two row groups and one column group with about 6 items in it. I have about 2100 rows at the lowewst row group level. This report was built solely for excel export. The first row group has about 20 items and controls the visibility of the other group. When I toggle the visibility of the second row group, how can I make the the header of the first row group copy down for each row of the other row group? The first row group is the Section and the second is Mnemonic.
What are the options to create a table of contents based on the report items in a List Control? Document Mapping works for online viewing. A table of content would make the report easier to read when it's printed.
I am struggling to come up with a set-based solution for this problem (i.e. that doesn't involve loops/cursors) ..A table contains items (identified by an ItemCode) and the set they belong to (identified by a SetId). Here is some sample data:
SetIdItemCode 1A 1B 24 28 26 310 312 410
[code]....
You can see that there are some sets that have the same members:
- 1 and 10 - 2 and 11 - 7, 8 & 9
What I want to do is identify the sets that have the same members, by giving them the same ID in another column called UniqueSetId.
MDC1 DrgDesc1 Chronic 50 Other 25 Total cases for DrgDesc1= 75
DrgDesc2 Chronic 20 Other 33 Total cases for DrgDesc2 = 53
etc....
I have everything working up to the Total cases for each DrgDesc. I tried adding a group footer to the Cases row, however this sub-totals for Chronic and Other rather than summing them together. Example is below.
MDC1 DrgDesc1 Chronic 50 50 Other 25 25 DrgDesc2 Chronic 20 20 Other 33 33
I want to display a concatinated value of strings (DB field) having a "/" in between, for each group separately in the group footer.I tried using custome code.I was calling that code in detail.In detail it was showing correctly i.e running concatenated value for each record.But when i used the same global variable in group footer it's taking previous group's concatenated value and first groop footer shows a blank string.I guess its because groop footer thing is getting executed before the detail part.so can you please give me any solution for this.
I am new to SSRS 2005 and so far the only way I can figure out how to edit groups in a table is to right click on the group header or footer and select Edit Group. But how would you edit the group if you chose to not have a header or footer? And how would you delete the group for that matter? I'm looking for something like the Crystal Reports Group Expert.
I am using RS 2005 with SP2. I am trying to print a table Group footer on a brand spanking new page. I have checked the "Page Break at Start" of the Group, However in the Report view the footer starts printing directly below the end of the group, and not on a new page. I have also tried to add a rectangle to the group footer and selected Page Breaks before rectangle but the group footer still doesnt print on a page of its own. I would appreciate any suggestions.
I've read a bunch of threads and can't seem to find an exact problem as what I'm having.
I believe my problem is simple enough to understand, but might not be that simple to solve. I'm hoping otherwise.
My report shows columns:
CustomerNumber CustomerName SummedInvoiceAmounts (summed from SQL query) Region
The problem is that we have the same CustomerNumber with multiple CustomerNames:
CustomerNumber CustomerName Sum Region ABC advancedballoon 1000 East ABC AdvancedBall. 1000 East
As you can see they are the same company but in our Accounting system they show up mulitple times (about 20 companies like this). This is from clerks adding in multiple ways or misspelling, etc. Can't fix, but have to work around.
Anyhow, I have my detail row that shows two lines for the companies like this and one line for the companies that are correct. I have this report I have added two groups "Region", "CustomerNumber".
If I put all the detail Fields down in the CustomerNumber footer and hide the detail row the report looks fine to the eye. When adding a Sum down in the Region footer field though; it pulls in the added amount and makes the total wrong.
I tried running value, but it's basically the same as the sum for what I need and it doesn't work. Is there a simple way to do this using the reporting tool? In Crystal this was very easy, but I haven't figured this out yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I need a sales report that would display weekly amounts either sold or forecasted in matrix (pivot) form.
The data used for the report is like following (INV is sold and FC is forecasted):
rtype region
week
wgt
INV EU 1 150
INV US 2 200
FC US 2 400
FC US 3 1000
FC EU 2 100
I want the report to show data like this:
WEEK 1
WEEK 2
WEEK 3
TOTAL
INV
INV
FC
FC
INV
FC
EU 150
100
150 100
US
200 400 1000 200 1400
So I put region as rows, week and rtype as columns, and wgt as data field. Everything works fine except that there will be no grand totals for INV/FC. What I get is:
WEEK 1 WEEK 2 WEEK 3 TOTAL
INV INV FC FC
EU 150
100
250
US
200 400 1000 1600
How can I get my totals? I know I could tailor my data to get INV/FC values into different columns to show as data fields in matrix report. But in this case, every week would always display 2 columns, which is certainly not what I want.
I also know I could add another matrix report to create a simulated total columns, but I wasn't able to "join" these 2 reports properly, there is always some space between them and the report looks unprofessionally. So I am looking for a way to do that with a single matrix.
Second question: how can I paint entire columns into different colors, so that INV is always green and FC is always blue? I tried customizing background color, but it only paints cells with values inside, leaving empty cells white. Is it possible to have the INV columns green, entirely?
I ran into this a few weeks ago and found that several others had as well, but no one had yet found an answer. I found the answer (at least one of the answers) this weekend and wanted to share it. I had recently added a subreport to a group footer in a table and started getting an error. Depending on the data, the error wasn't always present. I didn't have a problem when I moved the subreport to any other area in the report.
Here is the error I was getting:
An error occurred during local report processing
An internal error occurred on the report server. See the error log for more details.
It was a local report (rdlc), so naturally, there was no error log <g>. I added an event handler for ReportError and collected this information:

This wasn't exactly enlightening, an exception in an ASSERT in the reporting services dll, but since I knew that results varied with different data, I tracked it down that way.
THE SOLUTION:
The problem occurs when data for group expression is null. If there is no subreport in the group footer, this isn't an issue, but if there is, you get the error. For instance, if your data comes from a SQL statement with a LEFT OUTER JOIN (as mine did), and the group expression uses a column that contains nulls as a result of the LEFT OUTER, this exception will be thrown. This one was VERY DIFFICULT to track down, but it's easily reproducable. It has nothing to do with what (if anything is) on the subreport, what the data the subreport uses looks like, whether there are parameters or not. It's purely having nulls in the data used by the group expression for the main report. I found that if I changed my SELECT from mytable.mycolumn to ISNULL(mytable.mycolumn, 0) the error went away.
I accidentally unclicked the check-boxes for group-header and group footer - I meant to leave the group header in. Now, I can't get to the group to edit it! Is there any way I can get back to it?
Im currently writing a report in SSRS which requires to take data in the fields, manipulate and perform functions on it then display it within its own textbox. For example the field Cost is manipulated so that a column will show the cost depreciated after 5 years.
Cost Final Cost
500 250
1000 634
700 500
Footer: Totals 1384
My problem is that within each group (as the data is grouped by its type) I need to have a sum of the Final Cost data. As this is NOT a field I cannot use =Sum(Fields!FinalCost.Value, "group_1") but rather I need to use =Sum(ReportItems!FinalCost.Value, "group_1"). I know that SSRS does not allow this, but after trying to find an answer going extensively through google and many forums, I am not able to find a solution on how to sum up the Final Cost column.
If anyone has any ideas on how to resolve this issue I will be greatly thankful,
I am having a problem trying to do some conditional formatting on the text color.
This textbox is in the Group Footer so i essentially want change the color to red if the SUM of one field in the group is less than the SUM of another field in the same group.
I am doing this: =Iif(Sum(Fields!YTDChargeHours)< Sum(Fields!YTDForecast), "Red", "Black")
but i am getting this error:
[rsRuntimeErrorInExpression] The Color expression for the textbox €˜YTDChargeHours€™ contains an error: Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object.
Seems simple. Â People working in departments with different types of hours (regular, overtime, vacation... thus the grid which pivots hours in rows to the appropriate columns). Â I want to subtotal by department, but whenever I try to add totals after to that group, I just get a grand total. Â No subtotals. Â Why?
I have a group in my report that contains an empty footer row to get a better visibility. Because the row has a frame it should be hidden if its the last row on the page. How can I manage that?
