I have created a report that uses a fairly complex IIF statement to sum the data. That part works just fine. Now I need to format the font color so negative values show in red. Is there a way to reference the individual cell (by its textbox name maybe?) in the Expression Editor?
For example, if tb_Orders was the name of the textbox that sums the data, I'd like to write something like:
=switch(tb_Orders < 0, "Red")
I could just copy the IIF statement but I'd rather keep things simple. This way, if I need to change the formulas, I don't have to change all of the conditional formatting as well.
Hi, I'm working with MRS and I've got a table with a lot of entries. For each value in the table I'm trying to get the text colour to be set to 'red' when the value of the cell is less than 0. Otherwise remain black.
I can do this by setting the colour property cell by cell. But I have a lot of cells in the table. Is there a way to set the statement to apply to ALL cells in the table?
Basically I'm asking if there is a way to set the property in bulk instead of going through tediously cell by cell.
When I created a Table control, I was able to read things like .Color, FormattedValue, etc. from SSAS. This was great, because I could control all existing and future reports' formatting via one change in the cube.
Now, I've decided that a Matrix control is superior for various reasons. However, I notice that I MUST apply an aggregate function to get a cell value...well, it appears that this means there's no longer any way for me to read my SSAS formatting.
I tried =First(Fields!DataValue.FormattedValue), =Max(...), etc.
I also tried it with the color property, etc. Nothing worked.
Are there any workarounds? I'd hate to embed the formatting into each of my 40 reports, because the user is likely to change his/her mind after the fact.
I'm currently working on a report which contains a number of matrix' with subtotals. Each matrix calculates a STDEVP which works just fine and the total shows the values I want.
However, I would like to change the font color of each cell based on the value compared to the total.
For example:
A 4.5 B 7.8 C 3.9 D 5.2 Total 5.7
With the values of A and C being less than the Total, I want to change their color to "Green" and the others to "Red".
I was hopeing I would be able to do something like this. =Iif(ReportItems!matrix1_std.value < xxxxxxxxx,"Green","Red")
Where ReportItems!matrix1_std.value is the values of A-D and xxxxxxxxx would be the "Total"
Is this in some way possible??
I found many expamples for changing the color etc of the totals cell but nothing which tells me how to change the layout of a cell based on the total value.
I have what should be a simple string formatting issue -- removing all alpha characters from a phone number. T-SQL below is simple and works just fine:
declare @home_phone as char(14); set @home_phone = '(123)979-3206'; set @home_phone = REPLACE(@home_phone,'-',''); set @home_phone = REPLACE(@home_phone,'(',''); set @home_phone = REPLACE(@home_phone,')','');
The condensed version below works equally well:
set @home_phone = REPLACE((REPLACE((REPLACE(@home_phone,'(','')),')','')),'-','');
Either script above returns correct result:
select @home_phone; Result = '1239793206'
HOWEVER, within SSIS Derived Column expressions, this function fails to remove parentheses. First of all, Expression Builder doesn't like outer single quotes (turns red) which I resolved by using double quotes resulting in the following expression:
Unfortunately, this expression fails to remove parentheses and instead returns: '(123)9793206'
I've tried several different permutations--no inner single quotes; adding more inner single quotes; etc., but so far no success. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
I'm trying to put conditional formatting on a field, that behaves as follows:
The data in the field is varchar, and sample data is either:
NULL 3.0 :0 11.7 :1 (these are ratios of a sort)
I want to evaluate the first 3 characters of the string as numbers.
Example: Mid(fieldvalue,1,3) = "3.0" or "11."
Any data that is greater than 1.99, I want to make the background dark red, anything else including nulls, zebra formatting. I have the following expression built so far and it appears to work, except when the value is null. If the value is null, it leaves the background color white.
This is the warning: [rsRuntimeErrorInExpression] The BackgroundColor expression for the text box "Asthma" contains an error: Input string was not in a correct format.
=iif( isnothing(Fields!Asthma.Value) ,(IIf(RowNumber(Nothing) Mod 2 = 0,"#b8cce4","#dbe5f1")) ,(iif(mid(Fields!Asthma.Value,1,3)>1.99 ,"DarkRed" ,IIf(RowNumber(Nothing) Mod 2 = 0,"#b8cce4","#dbe5f1"))))
My logic is, if the field is null, zebra format, if mid of the value is > 1.99, dark red, everything else zebra formatting. As I said, this seems to work except for nulls.

I have created 1 report with 2 datasets. This report is attached to the 1st dataset.For example,1st one is "Smallappliances", 2nd is "Largeappliances".
I created a tablix and, the 1st column extracts Total sales per Sales person between 2 dates from 1st dataset (Small appliances). I used running values expression and it works fine.
Now, I would like to add another column that extracts Total sales per sales person between 2 dates from 2nd dataset (Large appliances). I am aware that I need to use Lookup expression and it is giving me the single sales value rather than the total sales values. So, I wanted to use RunningValue expression within lookup table to get total sales for large appliances.
This is the lookup expression that I added for the 2nd column.
I get this error when I preview the report.An error occurred during local report processing.The definition of the report is invalid.An unexpected error occurred in report processing.
I need help with a simple query. We have 86 entries with the City of O'Fallon in our db. How do I do this with the apostrophe in O'Fallon? Below is just to give an idea of what I want. Thanks. SELECT * FROM Organization WHERE City=O'Fallon
Hello All, i am trying to create a normal ASP.NET application using VS2005. Yesterday i was adding tables.. entering data from within "View Table Data" tab, but today i am unable to do any data insertion or updating except by entering the insert or update statement by hand. When updating data of existing record or trying to add new data, it reports that "Cell is readonly!". I did not modify any settings or configuration and actually did nothing to set it to readonly! I am quite confused to be honest and writing sql statements by hand is kinda time consuming for me if i want to update a single field. What can i do to re-enable data modifications from VS2005 without reporting readonly? Thanks,Rakan
From what i've read cell security s enforced on the client. If someone is able to gain access to a machine running the client (for example an application server or a web server) he is able to get cell values independently of the fact that those values will be defined as #N/A in the secured cell value property. The real value is travelling between theAnalysis Server and the application server. Is this true ? How can we effectively garantee true security ?
hi all im really have a problem in my project. i have server and client side each side contain SQL Server DB. and i have excel file on the server side this excel file conected with another server, this file changed data in continuosly each less than 1 sec by data feed.
now i need to read each changed data cell from this file to save it on server DB and Client DB (just changed data).
my problem :
u know changed event is not fired when change cell by data feed or not edit manually, just calc event is rised . but calc event do not specify the changed cell range (address).
so i do this to know changed cell range: when run the program saved all excel tabel into SQL server table. and then check row by row between excel and sql if any change , when i get any change, i update the excel row insted this DB row.
and rise event to send this row to client by socket over internet to update the row in client side too.
but i tell u that the excel file updated each less than 1 sec, and i noted that many changed excel data missed until checked row by row for whole excel sheet with DB tabel and updated change.
this is my problem ( please help me as soon as posible coz i have dead line to Delivered this program)
and if u recomended me for another techneque to be easy or quickly to solve this problem i will thaks so much for u)
In SQL 2000 I used to be able to open a table in Enterprise Manager and make changes or Update with Query Analyser. Now when I attempt this in SQL 2005 I am told that the Cell is Read Only.
How do I update this column as I cannot find a read-only or allow updates property anywhere?
I changed the join type and did some modifications to the query in the query designer. Then I executed the query. Resutls are shown in query designer. But it says Cell is read only. Therefore when I change the tap from data to preview , I can not view the report.
This happens only when I use generic query builder. Does anybody know how to change the read only option ?

Is there a way to mask the contents of a cell or column? I have a table that stores passwords and I would like to mask the password much like Access does with asterisks. I know I can restrict the column based on user but that creates other problems on the frontend.
