What i need to do?
I've got a table with 6 fields :
EmployeeAccess
(MasterID, LoginID, AccessID, Storage1, Storage2, Storage3)
that needs to be updated using the data in the following spreadsheet
NewEmployeeAccessData
(ID, MasterID, AccessID1, LoginID1)
There is a 1:1 relationship between the two tables..I'm trying to code a pair of update statements on the EmployeeAccess table (1 for LoginID, 1 for AccessID) with the following logic:
If LoginID is NULL, then Update LoginID with new LoginID1 value,
If LoginID is not null, and Storage1 is NULL then Update Storage1 with New LoginID1 values
If LoginID is not null, and Storage1 is not NULL and Storage2 is NULL then Update Storage2 with New LoginID1 values
etc etc...
The same applies when trying to populate the AccessID column
If AccessID is NULL, then Update AccessID with new AccessID1 value,
If AccessID is not null, and Storage1 is NULL then Update Storage1 with New AccessID1 values
If AccessID is not null, and Storage1 is not NULL and Storage2 is NULL then Update Storage2 with New AccessID1 values
etc etc.
I have no control over the schema of this table so I'm trying to work the logic on how to update the columns in my table only if the corresponding column data is NULL, else update the next non NULL Storage column.
I am trying to set sorting up on a DataGrid in ASP.NET 2.0. I have it working so that when you click on the column header, it sorts by that column, what I would like to do is set it up so that when you click the column header again it sorts on that field again, but in the opposite direction. I have it working using the following code in the stored procedure: CASE WHEN @SortColumn = 'Field1' AND @SortOrder = 'DESC' THEN Convert(sql_variant, FileName) end DESC,
case when @SortColumn = 'Field1' AND @SortOrder = 'ASC' then Convert(sql_variant, FileName) end ASC,
case WHEN @SortColumn = 'Field2' and @SortOrder = 'DESC' THEN CONVERT(sql_variant, Convert(varchar(8000), FileDesc)) end DESC,
case when @SortColumn = 'Field2' and @SortOrder = 'ASC' then convert(sql_variant, convert(varchar(8000), FileDesc)) end ASC,
case when @SortColumn = 'VersionNotes' and @SortOrder = 'DESC' then convert(sql_variant, convert(varchar(8000), VersionNotes)) end DESC,
case when @SortColumn = 'VersionNotes' and @SortOrder = 'ASC' then convert(sql_variant, convert(varchar(8000), VersionNotes)) end ASC,
case WHEN @SortColumn = 'FileDataID' and @SortOrder = 'DESC' THEN CONVERT(sql_variant, FileDataID) end DESC,
case WHEN @SortColumn = 'FileDataID' and @SortOrder = 'ASC' THEN CONVERT(sql_variant, FileDataID) end ASC And I gotta tell you, that is ugly code, in my opinion. What I am trying to do is something like this: case when @SortColumn = 'Field1' then FileName end,
case when @SortColumn = 'FileDataID' then FileDataID end,
case when @SortColumn = 'Field2' then FileDesc
when @SortColumn = 'VersionNotes' then VersionNotes
end
case when @SortOrder = 'DESC' then DESC
when @SortOrder = 'ASC' then ASC
end and it's not working at all, i get an error saying: Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'case' when i put a comma after the end on line 5 i get: Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'DESC' What am I missing here? Thanks in advance for any help -Madrak
how to do a check for 2 columns. As long as there is data for at least one of the columns I want to return rows.
Example Data
create table test
(
ID int,
set1 varchar(50),
set2 varchar(50),
[code]....
We have a case where in we should show date based on conditions for e.g if we had a column defined as
col varchar(10) then we would show col as 'NULL' for some condition and actual value when no condition
Normaly date values are stored here e.g under col 20150901 .
Case
when col>'20150901' then 'NULL'
else col
end as Derivedcol
Note this is an extract process and we are presenting data by pumping the data in a table .
Now there is another similar column -colz varchar(10) which stores date but doesnt have case condition so whenever date has no value its shows null which is database null.
So whats the difference between database null and string null ?
How can we show database null for the case condition instead of string "null"?
I have a filed named 'date'. I convert this into 101 format. Now I want to sort that date by year not by month.

Hi All
I'm Climbing the walls here, does anyone know how to do an interactive sort but keep one of the returned rows pinned at the end of the result set?
i've tried this
=iif(Fields!Item.Value <> "c", 1 ,2) & Fields!Item.Value
Doesn't work to well
Results to Sort
d
e
a
b
c
Sort should return
which works fine on the ascending sort
a
b
d
e
c
with c remaining at the bottom
But i get this on the descending sort
c
a
b
d
e
Thanks in advance

My boss wants to know why I can sort information in the Enterprise Manager by clicking the column headings but he can't; like in the Job window clicking status to sort the jobs by status so all of the 'executing' jobs are listed first. I said no problem, let's apply SP2 and that should do the trick. To my chagrin it did not solve the problem. I would appreciate any ideas.
Thanks!
Hi,
I need to get Sort numerically from an alphanumeric column

Hi everybody!
My users need to sort data on base of columns that they select ,the same as sorting in grid but i need it with reporting services.
Thankas in advance.
I looked around quite a bit but couldn't get around to the issue I've at hand.
I've a matrix report with one row group and one column group. I want to apply interactive sort so that when a user clicks on the column header based on the values in the column the report is rearranged.
The report shows:
Name 02/02/2008 01/31/2008
Test1 15 12
Test2 9 15
Now if the user clicks on 02/02/2008 then it will show
Name 02/02/2008 01/31/2008
Test2 9 15
Test1 15 12
And toggle if clicked again. Hope I'm clear.

Hi,
I have a report with fiive columns, I have implemented interactive column sorting on the report. I have added a group to the report based on Column 2 and there is a page break by group. Now if I am on the second page ( page break by column 2 ) and sort on column 3(there is no grouping on column 3), the sorting happens but after the sort, the first page is displayed.IS there any way to remain on the same page while sorting?
Thanks in Advance.
I've done this before, but i cant remember how.
All i want to do is sort this group in a specific way.
I want them to be in this order:
AME01
ASE01
ACO01
ALU01
AOS01
APH01
ATR01
ATE01
ACR06
ACR05
ACR02
ACR03
ACR08
ACR07
What is the code i would put in the sorting expression, for this to take place?
Hi there,
I'm trying to implement Interactive Soring on the column headers in a matrix in a report. Is it actually possible to do this? I've read several internet posts and stories of implementing the Interactive Sorting in the upper-left corner of the matrix, but this is not what I want, I want to implement it on the column headers .
The goal I'm trying to achieve is to give the user the possibillity to click on a column header to sort the rows below in asc- or descending direction.
Please tell me if this is possible, because all my efforts have not been succesfull! If it's possible, please provide the solution to do this.
If you need more information, please don't hesitate to ask.
Thanks in advance,

Dear folks,

Hi all,
One of my columns is the table has some Null values, and I Would like to stop having NULL values into that column any more.
I know, If I alter the column to NOT NULL will throw me an error, since it does a batch update.
Is there any way to achieve this...

Is it possible to do custom sort for a Column Group?
i.e. if the columns are coming out as A B C, is it possible to change it B C A (or anything else).
I've created an SSRS report in Report builder and I'm displaying it in SharePoint 2010. What I would need to do is to sort according to my totals -column. My report structure is as follows:
The first and column second columns are the ID and the name of a customer. There are over 35.000 consolidated customers in the database.
The third column is the column which I would like my report to be sorted upon. It gives the sum (Amount_EUR) of all different productlines sold to the customer.
The fourth column in this report design model is the product groups sold to that customer. There over twenty of product groups visible when Running the report.
This is what my report looks like when finished (you'd have to scroll a lot to the right if I took the whole of the report so I cut only a part of it to be visible):
I tried to add a sorting option from the reports Tablix properties and adding this code as the sorting function:
=SUM(Fields!Amount_EUR.Value)
But I'm getting an error: "A sort expression for the tablix 'Tablix1' includes an aggregate function. Aggregate functions cannot be used in data row sort expressions."
Ok, so no aggregate functions aren't allowed to the sort.
If I just put:
=Fields!Amount_EUR.Value and sort by that from Z to A(biggest to largest) it doesn't have any effect. The report is still sorted alphabetically by the ParentID.
I've also tried some other code bits, but they all seem to be saying that I couldn't put an aggregate function into the sort expression....but my Total -column is already calculated with a Sum -function....
Is it possible sort my report based on that Total -column? If yes, how? I'm using SSRS 2008
We have a database where many tables have a field that has to be lengthened. In some cases this is a primary key or part of a primary key. The table in question is:-
/****** Object: Table [dbo].[DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd] Script Date: 09/25/2014 14:05:09 ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
SET ANSI_PADDING ON
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd](
[Code] ....
The script I am using is
DECLARE@Column varchar(100)--The name of the column to change
DECLARE@size varchar(5)--The new size of the column
DECLARE @TSQL varchar(255)--Contains the code to be executed
DECLARE @Object varchar(50)--Holds the name of the table
DECLARE @dropc varchar(255)-- Drop constraint script
[Code] ....
When I the the script I get the error message Could not create constraint. See previous errors.
Looking at the strings I build
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd] DROP CONSTRAINT PK_DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd] Alter Column [Patient System Number] varchar(10)
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd] ADD CONSTRAINT PK_DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd PRIMARY KEY NONCLUSTERED ([Patient System Number] ASC,[Episode Number] ASC,[CensusDate] ASC)
WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, SORT_IN_TEMPDB = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ONLINE = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
They all seem fine except the last one which returns the error
Msg 8111, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot define PRIMARY KEY constraint on nullable column in table 'DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd'.
Msg 1750, Level 16, State 0, Line 1
Could not create constraint. See previous errors.
None of the fields I try to create the key on are nullable.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWe have a database where the nvarchar columns currently holding English only data. It keeps the training information. Currently the default collation is Latin Case insensitive accent insensitive.
Now we are planning to allow multiple language support. When we go for it, we will upload the data from different languages. Based on user preferences, he/she should be able to query the data (One language at a time).
I am worried on how the existing queries will work if I load all language data in the same database.
For example, some characters in English are used in Norwegian too. But they have different sort order. ALso LIKE conditions too may fail.
So far I thought of few solutions: Add the Collation information along with select , order by clauses. It means we need to add more procedures (one set per collation) The other option is to create new database for each language. Each will have its own collation. The dowside is we need more databases which may lead to more servers and more maintenance work.
As bcp does not allow for the column names to be included; I have developed a method for providing the columns. The end result is that two Tables are required for each output; a "ColumnNames" table and the Table that contains the actual data; however the bcp command is sorting the data; why this is happening?
According to Microsoft, by default bcp will not apply any sorting unless specified.
Here is the command I am using to perform the bcp output: -
SET
@bcpCommand =(select
'bcp "SELECT * FROM GPReports.dbo.MIS001_BCPColumnNames UNION SELECT * FROM GPReports.dbo.voltemp" queryout '
+ @FilePath+'
-c -t -T')
EXEC
master..xp_cmdshell
@bcpCommand
This is the bcp topic I referred to [URL] ....
I have a table ComponentPeriod. In it we have the combination of a component (e.g. A,B,C ) and a period (2014 Q1, 2014 Q2, 2014 January etc)I want the periods to be in descending order (2015 Q4, 2015 Dec, 2015 Nov, 2015 Oct, 2015 Q3 ... etc) and so I need to create a sequential number series to allow this to happen (as we can only order in the client tools by a single column - and so I guess the technique I'm looking for is used a lot to produce these types of "order by" columns)
I have done this in the past using
Period_Sequence =
calculate
(countrows(Period)
,filter
(Period
, Period[Start_Date] <= earlier(Period[Start_Date])
&& Period[Duration_String] = earlier(Period[Duration_String])
)
)
Which was fine when I was referring to a table where Periods where distinct directly but now I have denormalised this for ComponentPeriod so I need something a little more sophisticated Whats the best way to get a sequence with perhaps some partitions in across a subset of distinct columns (I guess from SUMMARIZE or similar)
E.g. I want
Period_Name, Type, Sequence
2015 Q4, Quarter, 1
2015 Dec, Month, 2
2015 Nov, Month, 3
2015 Oct, Month, 4
2015 Q3, Quarter, 5
2015 Sep, Month, 6
etc
even though there may be multiple records in ComponentPeriod that have the period 2015 Q4, but I want them all to have the value Sequence value of 1? I've got as far as:
Period_Sequence Desc =
calculate
(countrows(summarize(ComponentPeriod, ComponentPeriod[Period_End_Date]))
,filter
( ComponentPeriod
, ComponentPeriod[Period_End_Date] >= earlier(ComponentPeriod[Period_End_Date])
)
)
But this doesn't distinguish between the different types. I need an equivalent of the t-sql -
row_number() over (order by Period_End_Date desc, case when 'P3M' then 1 when 'P1M' then 2 end asc
