Web Based Reporting - Suggestions Needed
Jul 20, 2005
I want to create a web browser based MIS suite to use our data held on
SQL 7. We have Dreamweaver and Crystal Reports available but I want to
know if these are suitable or if there are any recommendations for
something I can pick up quickly.
It will be simple reports based on complex queries (I can handle most
of this in SQL 7), don't need fancy graphs, just plain boring
financial reports are what I need to produce.
Obvious things I need to create are combo boxes and list boxes for
selections. My background is more Delphi/VB and SQL than web based
stuff, so please let me know any recommendations or good places to
start looking.
Thanks

What I have.
I have a spreadsheet that is used in 4 or more locations on a daily basis by 1-3 ppl per locations. The spreadsheet is used to gather Quality Control information. So everyday there are a couple of spreadsheets from each system that is used to generate weekly and monthly reports. This is becoming to much work and I would like to automate the process.
What I have access to.
I currently run a Sharepoint 2007 Server for all our collaboration and document needs.
I also have the ability to setup any sql server.
What I want.
I want the QC techs in each system to be able to upload the data at the end of each day and be done with it. This way they do not have email or do a weekly report.
I would prefer to use Sharepoint and create reports weekly and monthly that can be pulled just by going to a site.
I'm knowledgeable in Sharepoint and Excel. I have some skills in VBA. I haven't dealt with SQL any, but willing to learn.
Also I'm knowledgeable in Microsoft Access as well.
Any suggestions on how I could accomplish this would be appreciated.
TIA

We have an MIS system which has approx 100 reports. Each of thesereports can take up to several minutes to run due to the complexity ofthe queries (hundreds of lines each in most cases). Each report can berun by many users, so in effect we have a slow system.I want to seperate the complex part of the queries into a process thatis generated each night. Then the reports will only have to querypre-formatted data with minimal parameters as the hard part will havebeen completed for the users when they are not in. Ideally we willgenerate (stored procedure possibly) a set of data for each report andhold this on the server. We can then query with simpler parameterssuch as by date and get the data back quite quickly.The whole process of how we obtain the data is very complex. There arevarious views which gather data from the back office system. These arevery complex and when queries are run against them including othertables to bring in more data, it gets nicely complicated.The only problem is that the users want to have access to LIVE datafrom the back office system, specifically the Sales team who want toaccess this remotely. My method only allows for data from the nightbefore, so is there an option available to me which will allow me todo this ? The queries can't be improved on an awful lot, so they willtake as long as they take. The idea of running them once is the onlyway I can see to improve the performance in any significant way.True I could just let them carry on as they are and let them sufferwith the performance on live data, but I'd like to do something toimprove the situation for them.Any advice would be appreciated.ThanksRyan

Hello,
Background: I am a Software Engineer - not a DBA - with limited SQL knowledge (I know the SQL but not the configuration stuff)... I am sure others need this too - I tried but cannot find the answers online... please help me with a few questions:
Task: I need to find an way to install a database via Installshield 2008/command-line (silently), that is accessible locally and remotely regardless of what was already installed, and accessible only to our program - not users, so I am thinking use SA and a strong password since windows authentication may not apply with multiple users accessing this DB and they do not need to login on to the server - only our program does - sound right to use Mixed?).
Questions:
Can SQL 2005 Express be installed when SQL 2005 Full edition is already present?
Can SQL 2005 Express be installed without an instance name?
I think I read an instance name is required in Express, that if I do not provide it defaults to SQLEXPRESS -
So, if the prior question's answer is 'no, they cannot both exist'... prompting the next question:
If the Full version is already installed, should/can I use it - AND - can I add a New Instance silently via command line or ???
Any other ideas on why I can install 2005Express on one system, and not on two others (all 3 are development machines: VS 2005, SQL Express and that's about it)?
Currently I have figured out a command-line call to install - the command I came up with during testing is:
start /wait C: empSQLEXPR32.EXE /qb INSTANCENAME=CINST ADDLOCAL=ALL SECURITYMODE=SQL SAPWD=STR2PWD4SA SQLBROWSERACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE" SQLACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE" AGTACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE" SQLBROWSERAUTOSTART=1 SQLAUTOSTART=1 AGTAUTOSTART=1 DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0 ERRORREPORTING=1 ADDUSERASADMIN=1
This looks like it might work for SQL Express 2005 - I do not have the full edition installed, yet - thus, this post.
The errors I got, shown in the summary.txt as 'Error 10' on one system with no other info.
My other system reports:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 9.00.3042.00
==============================
OS Version : Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (Build 2600)
Time : Fri Mar 21 16:45:25 2008
Machine : TONELSON
Product : Microsoft SQL Server Setup Support Files (English)
Product Version : 9.00.3042.00
Install : Successful
Log File : c:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90Setup BootstrapLOGFilesSQLSetup0007_TONELSON_SQLSupport_1.log
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SQL Server Setup failed. For more information, review the Setup log file in %ProgramFiles%Microsoft SQL Server90Setup BootstrapLOGSummary.txt.
...not much to go on as to why it is failing - maybe the hotfix:
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90Setup BootstrapLOGHotfixSQL9Express_Hotfix_KB921896_SQLEXPR.EXE
in the directory is blocking the install?
The goal is for my application to use the same connection strings regardless of 2005 full or 2005 express.
Need to figure this out -
Thank you,
Todd

Hi,We will be developing a management reporting software for a bank. Theuser will see reports that get updated in near real time( e.g. every 5min), with data regarding transaction amounts, etc. across a number ofdimensions such as day, time, region, etc.The dimensions will be hierarchical in nature. So a zone will havestates and a state will have cities.The raw data has to be pulled from several different databases, such asa DB for ATM transactions, another for home loan applications, etc.It should be easy to add customized reports if a different view of thedata is desired.Our clients suggest that we use a tool called Clementine developed bySPSS. But we have the liberty to choose a different tool if that servesour purpose.Clementine seems to allow a data flow to be defined which might be ofuse to pur project. Does anyone have any idea how this could bedifferent from SQL server's Data Transformation Services?Any other thoughts regarding the approach to be taken, will beappreciated.ThanksYash

Hi guys... I need to do some statistical reporting on the answers to registration questions. The answers are stored in pipe-delimited varchar fields to allow for one-or-many answers to a single question... here's an example:
Q: What are your fav colors?
A: [checkbox list of colors]
Now the data is stored like this:
Reg001
-----------
red|blue|green|yellow
Now I need to determine how many people selected each individual answer, so like, how many people picked red, how many people picked yellow.... to report like this:
Red - 12
Blue - 23
Green - 15
Yellow - 9
What is the best, or suggested way, to go about splitting this data up and reporting on it? Can it be done in T-SQL, or will it need to be a combination of T-SQL and .Net language?
Thanks!

I'm very green with SQL so I could do with some advice please.
I need to pull some data from a table based on the year portion of a datetime field, so far I've got this...
USE MfgSys803
SELECT orderdate, ordernum FROM orderhed
WHERE ((SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(4),GETDATE(),111)) = (SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(4),ORDERDATE,111) FROM orderhed))
... the field 'orderdate' is the datetime. The purpose of the WHERE statement is to get the current year fromt he system and then compare this to the current year of the field 'orderdate'.
Unfortunately I get the error...
Msg 512, Level 16, State 1, Line 3
Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used as an expression.
... the 'SELECT CONVERT' portions of the WHERE work fine on thier own but I can't use them together.
Hopefully this makes sense, thanks :)

Hi Gurus
Currently we are using SQL Server Reporting Services on top of our client data warehouse. Almost all the reports deployed on the report production server are executing Stored Procedures (behind the scene).
Can anyone tell me how can I query Report Server database to get a list of reports and the stored procedures being executed by these reports?
Early Thanks,

I have a process that stores a machine status every 2 minutes in a bit field of an SQL database. Running = True, Stopped = False. I am trying to build a report that shows the percent run time every hour. This information would be the count of Trues divided by the total count for each hour. I can select and group the data on the hour but I can either count() the total number of readings or count() the number of readings where the status is true. How do I collect both pieces of information in the same data collection?
SELECT TOP (100)
Max(Time) As Time_M,
Count(Running) As Count_T
FROM Compact10
Group by DatePart(mm,Time), DatePart(dd,Time), DatePart(hh,time)
Order by DatePart(mm,Time) desc, DatePart(dd,Time) desc, DatePart(hh,time) desc

I have created a linked report in which I have two screen:
First Screen: Clicking on the bar of particular country the details of that particular country should be visible (the second screen)
Second Screen: When I clicked on a bar. All the count values are very well correct. In first chart Count of values under one bar "Pending decision"(yellow) was 337 for a country and in second screen its 337 again(shown in light green bar).
<!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->
Problem: My problem is to make it sure that the colors that the first screen is having for particular status (as shown in the legend) should remain same in second screen also. For example for a status say "pending decision" the chart is using yellow color, so in screen two as well it must be shown with yellow color and not with lany other color. Can anyone help me in this context. Is there any way to customize colors used by bar chart. Please note that the question is not about using appropriate color scheme(palette) the question is how to "capture/ Re-use/ customize/ pass as a parameter" the colors used by a bar chart in SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services.

In VS2008 SSRS, when creating a dataset, only the name of the stored procedure was required. When populating the dataset, VS prompted for the parameters, whether or not there were any. In VS2010, the name of the stored procedure is not enough if there are parameters.When creating a dataset in Visual Studio 2010 for databases and stored procedures in SQL 2012, I must provide (what should be) run-time parameters to obtain a field list and then to preview the report.
So the embedded dataset looks like this (wherein the only parameter is a password): exec dbo.spu_procedure1 @PW='999'.This works well and as expected during report design and development. But 999 must be provided at run-time by the requester, and not in the dataset definition. If I remove the parameter in the dataset's exec string before deploying the report, the field list is cleared and the report is unusable. So I cannot overcome what seems a contradiction: necessary to obtain a field list, but "yet-to-be-provided" when the user selects the report.
By keeping @PW='999' in the dataset specification, the user cannot override the parameter and automatically has a password to view the report.

Greetings all,I'm hoping someone can recommend a web-based reporting software. Mydatabase is currently in MS Access, but could be ported to SQL Serverif necessary. Would prefer a broswer independent tool with no plug-inrequirements. Would also prefer it to be compatible with existing ASPcode (rather than ASP.NET). We don't need on-the-fly query creation,but do want pre-formated quality layouts including headers, footersand controled page breaks.Any suggestions or direction would be most appreciated.Thanks,Chris

Can I use Reporting Services 2005 in a workgroup to serve reports for a windows application which is distributed accross the network?
I've already tried but when the application on a client pc requested a report from the report server i got a message about not having enough permissions to see the report. The windows application was builded using VB .NET 2.0 and VS2005.
The report server instance is installed on a server 2003 enterprise along with the SQL Server 2005.
If this is possible how can set permisions or make my application to be able to requests and show reports?
Thanks a lot to anybody who takes the time to answer.

I need to hide a row based on a value but show it for the rest of the values! this is the expression i am using for the first row is
=IIF(Fields!QuestionRef.Value = "1.2" or "2.1" or "10.2" or "20.2" or "23.2" or "30.1", true , false)
And for the second row
=IIF(Fields!QuestionRef.Value = "1.2" or "2.1" or "10.2" or "20.2" or "23.2" or "30.1", true, false)
But it either hides the row for all values or shows it for all values.

OutTotal field should show the SUM of the Quantity only for ItemStatus=0
InTotal field should show the SUM of the Quantity only for ItemStatus=1
IMPORTANT : I cannot group my data because I need to shown them in a time Wise flow
I have try to insert the first field and define an expression but it gives an #Error. The expression I used is as below
=SUM(IIF(Fields!ItemStatus.Value = 0, Fields!ItemQuantity.Value*Fields!ItemUnitWeight.Value,0))

table 2 = Regional Area 1
table 3 = Stores in Regional Area 1
Currently I am working on the biggest one. E.g. if all 3 parameters have information in them, then you use table 3. I have written out the coding as the following
=iif(isnothing(Parameters!Area.Value),True, False ) and
iif(isnothing(Parameters!Regional.Value),True, False ) and
iif(isnothing(Parameters!store.Value),True,False)
But it errors stating end of statement expected. What I have missed or not done here?

I am trying to use SSRS to allow users to select any one or several columns from a set of cascading parameters which will then do a "data dump" of the contents of the selected columns for "export".I know how to do cascading parameters, but I am having problems coming up with a way of using the parameters to dynamically build a matrix which has as its columns the list selected in the parameters. I need the user to choose WHICH columns will be displayed. There could be 1, 2, 3, up to 50 columns.

I have an issue in trying to format rows base on conditions. Below is a replication of the tables and the select statement.
CREATE TABLE #CompareVal
(CompareValID INT Not Null
, ValName NVARCHAR(75) Null
, Vehicle INT Null
, Driver INT Null
);
GO
[Code] ....
First issue, James and Jane does not have a driver available and that should show "No Driver available"I am to compare values in VehicleAvailable and DriverAvailable to the first row - (Group Value Standard row) so that when a value is less than the value in first row, it should be Gold, if equal to, Blue and if greater than then, Red.
The first row is to be Black. In other for me to be able to compare, I added columns like so:
SELECT #CompanyName
, [Description]
, ISNULL(CAST(VehicleAvalible AS NVARCHAR(30)),'N/A') AS VehicleAvalible
, ISNULL(CAST(DriverAvailable AS NVARCHAR(30)),'No Driver available') AS DriverAvailable
, 0 AS TotalVehicles
, 0 AS TotalDrivers
[Code] ...
And my expression for "VehicleAvailable" column is :
=Switch(Fields!Description.Value = "Group Value Standard" AND Fields!VehicleAvalible.Value = Fields!TotalVehicles.Value, "Black"
, Fields!Description.Value = "Group Value Standard" AND Fields!VehicleAvalible.Value < Fields!TotalVehicles.Value, "Black"
, Fields!Description.Value = "Group Value Standard" AND Fields!VehicleAvalible.Value > Fields!TotalVehicles.Value, "Black"
[Code]....
This doesn't work as I am comparing integer against text value. How do I format to get result like the below image?

so--user opens bank site--enters his details-goes into reports--it should open new webpage or UI, he should see all reports--he should export these reports..
After that based upon security levels each user can see their individual reports.

I am producing a report in Report Builder 2 containing a chart and table. The user is able to select single or multiple choices on a parameter called Specialty. My present chart is only suitable when one Specialty is selected. Therefore I only want this to be visible when the user has selected one Specialty. I am planning to create a second chart which is suitable for than more than one selection. So if the user selects more than one Specialty the existing chart will not be visible and instead will be replaced by the second.I think this should be done using Chart Properties>Visibility but cannot develop the logic of the expression.

I need to hide a column just for certain values from a table like contract decorators I tried using
=IIF(Fields!MainTrade.Value = "Contracts Decorator, Bricklayer", True, False)
But it just hid the column for all values, then i tried this but it doesn't seem to work (Think it's not correct though)
=IIF(Instr("Contracts Decorator, Bricklayer","," & Fields!MainTrade.Value & ",") > 0,true , false).
Below is the table and the highlighted column i am trying to hide just for those two fields. The table has a page break so that it would be displayed on a different page for each value, but i'm not sure it is possible as i have only done it for integers and rows before.
