Workaround For No Aggregates In A Grouping

Jun 21, 2007



I am trying to group on the number of distict field values. Basically:



=Ceiling(CountDistinct(Fields!ClientID.Value, Nothing)/10)



So for every 10 different clients, I get a group. I get an error with the above function saying aggregates are not allowed in a grouping expression. I tried creating a text box with the running value:

=RunningValue(Fields!ClientID.Value,CountDistinct,Nothing)

The value of the text box is correct, but I can't reference that text box in the grouping function. It says the textbox is undefined.



Any suggestions for a workaraound?



Thanks.

Do Aggregates Functions Use Grouping Scope

Jun 28, 2007

Greetings,



I could not figure out an easy way to Calc a group Avg in the group footer of the table.



Lets say I have UserID,GradeID,Score :



I create a group for GradeID and in the gradeid footer I use Avg(Score). Is there a way to tell RS you want the avg only for the group in scope?

Aggregates On Aggregates

Jun 13, 2000

(MSSQLS7) I have a table with fields similar to the
following:

StudentID
CourseID
CourseArea
EarnedHours
DateTaken

I need to create a report that totals all EarnedHours broken
down by category for a student for a date range. However,
courses can be taken multiple times, but should not count
more than once during the date range (the highest EarnedHours
should be used in the report preferably).

Currently, I've approached this with an SP that creates
a #temp table with CourseID, CourseArea, and MAX(EarnedHours)
GROUP BY CourseID for the date range and student specified,
then I'm selecting SUM(EarnedHours) GROUP BY CourseArea from
that.

Somehow, my current solution seems inelegant, but I haven't
been able to figure out a good way around it. It seems a real
waste to create a temp table, especially since this is a
high-use SP and the actual average subset of records involved
is really low (under 50). I'm probably missing something I
should already know... any ideas?

Aggregates In SQL

Dec 4, 2001

Hi,
I have a SQL issue which I know can be solved ( reasonably simply ) but I can't seem to figure it out ( sometimes hard to think in sets ). Basically I have a table:

Report_ID Version date_created created_by
----------- ----------- --------------------------- -----------
17 1 2001-02-21 00:00:00.000 1
17 2 2001-02-22 00:00:00.000 4
17 3 2001-02-24 00:00:00.000 7
12 1 1999-12-01 00:00:00.000 7
12 2 1999-12-03 00:00:00.000 9

what I want to do is pick out all the details of the most recent recent version of each report_ID. i.e.

Report_ID Version date_created created_by
----------- ----------- --------------------------- -----------
17 3 2001-02-24 00:00:00.000 7
12 2 1999-12-03 00:00:00.000 9

I can get a query to return distinct report_ID's with most recent versions, but not all the details.

Any help is appreciated.

Tony.

Aggregates Within Aggregates

Mar 8, 2007

Here is the code I have:

=Sum(IIF(sum( Fields!Total_Amount.Value, "Collat_Acct_Group2") < 0, 1,0))

I am trying to do a count but only if the sum of a value is greater/less than 0.



The error I get is:

The value expression for the textbox 'textbox146' contains an aggregate function (or RunningValue or RowNumber functions) in the argument to another aggregate function (or RunningValue). Aggregate functions cannot be nested inside other aggregate functions.




Please help .

Thanks

Get The Max Of The Aggregates

Sep 10, 2007

Hello:

I've been researching a likely common problem with reporting services: the inability to get an aggregate of an aggregate. One particular discussion thread comes close to solving my specific problem:

http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2021871&SiteID=1




Here's my problem. I have a table that groups data per month based on Count(). I'd like to get the max(count()) -- i.e., which month has the highest count?

For example:

JAN 30
FEB 20
MAR 25

I'd like to identify the month that has the max count. In this case, I'd like to capture the aggregate value "30" as being the max value of the three months displayed.

My goal is to embed a horizontal stacked-bar chart into the table (to the left of the count() values). Various types of medical services are being counted per month: Inpatient Stay, Outpatient Service, PCP visit. The key to displaying the horizontal stacked-bar charts is to make sure the maximum value of the chart is the same for all charts -- i.e., I need to know which month has the highest count and then set that value as the max limit on the chart.

Robert Bruckner's technical article on "Get More out of SQL Server Reporting Services Charts" briefly touches on the topic of embedded charts in a table, but doesn't go into the level of detail I'm considering.

I've also come across related information from SSW Rules to Better Reporting Services. Similar to Robert's article, SSW doesn't address scaling an in-line chart based on data that is aggregated, but rather scaling the in-line chart based on the values found in a specified data field.

Ultimately, I'd like to create an in-line bar chart that appropriate shows the month of JAN as having the longest horizontal bar, and FEB/MAR having appropriately scaled smaller bars.

Thanks in advance!

Query Or Grouping Problem (some Kind Of Parallel Grouping?)

Nov 26, 2007

I'm really stumped on this one. I'm a self taught SQL guy, so there is probobly something I'm overlooking.

I'm trying to get information like this in to a report:

WO#
-WO Line #
--(Details)
--Work Order Line Detail #1
--Work Order Line Detail #2
--Work Order Line Detail #3
--Work Order Line Detail #etc
--(Parts)
--Work Order Line Parts #1
--Work Order Line Parts #2
--Work Order Line Detail #etc
WO#
-WO Line #
--(Details)
--Work Order Line Detail #1
--Work Order Line Detail #2
--Work Order Line Detail #3
--Work Order Line Detail #etc
--(Parts)
--Work Order Line Parts #1
--Work Order Line Parts #2
--Work Order Line Parts #etc

I'm unable to get the grouping right on this. Since the line details and line parts both are children of the line #, how do you do "parallel groups"?

There are 4 tables:

Work Order Header
Work Order Line
Work Order Line Details
Work Order Line Requisitions

The Header has a unique PK.
The Line uses the Header and a Line # as foreign keys that together are unique.
The Detail and requisition tables use the header and line #'s in addition to their own line number foreign keys. My queries ends up looking like this:

WO WOL WOLR WOLD
226952 10000 10000 10000
226952 10000 10000 20000
226952 10000 10000 30000
226952 10000 10000 40000
226952 10000 20000 10000
226952 10000 20000 20000
226952 10000 20000 30000
226952 10000 20000 40000
399999 10000 NULL 10000
375654 10000 10000 NULL
etc


Hierarchy:
WO > WOL > WOLD
WO > WOL > WOLR

It probobly isn't best practice, but I'm kinda new so I need some guidance. I'd really appreciate any help! Here's my query:

SELECT [Work Order Header].No_ AS WO_No, [Work Order Line].[Line No_] AS WOL_No,
[Work Order Requisition].[Line No_] AS WOLR_No, [Work Order Line Detail].[Line No_] AS WOLD_No
FROM [Work Order Header] LEFT OUTER JOIN
[Work Order Line] ON [Work Order Header].No_ = [Work Order Line].[Work Order No_] LEFT OUTER JOIN
[Work Order Line Detail] ON [Work Order Line].[Work Order No_] = [Work Order Line Detail].[Work Order No_] AND
[Work Order Line].[Line No_] = [Work Order Line Detail].[Work Order Line No_] LEFT OUTER JOIN
[Work Order Requisition] ON [Work Order Line].[Work Order No_] = [Work Order Requisition].[Work Order No_] AND
[Work Order Line].[Line No_] = [Work Order Requisition].[Work Order Line No_]

Aggregates Containing Subqueries...

Sep 20, 2007

So I already no this can't be done... but I need a suitable alternative (if one exists) so I don't have to competely re-write this already too huge query.
Anyways, in my select I have something like this:
sum( case when code in (1,2,3,4) then 0 else 1 end ) as total
which has now increase from four static values to a more dynamic format, that being a table with 47 values which may shrink or grow over time. Attempting the following fails:
sum( case when code in (select code_id from ExcludedCodes) then 0 else 1 end ) as total
because apparently you can't use selects or aggregates within an aggregate.
So any ideas on how I can get this working... is there no Array or List type variable I could just substitute in? I've already tried using a Table Variable, but that failed as well.
Please keep in mind, this is one line of a very large select containing many other fields and aggregates (on a fair amount of joins) which is used in at least four differerent reporting queries. If there is no quick and easy replacement trick I can do just let me know so I can start re-writing all of them (which is seriously going to make my head hurt).

More - Aggravation Over Aggregates

Feb 20, 2007

I have data that looks like this

create table #TestData
(clt_num int,
proc_cde varchar(10))
insert #TestData (clt_num,proc_cde)
select 1000, 'H0017' union all
select 2000, 'T1016' union all
select 2000, 'H0036' union all
select 2000, 'T0017' union all
select 3000, '99999' union all
select 3000, 'AAAAA' union all
select 3000, 'H0039'
select 4000, '99999' union all
select 5000, 'H0017' union all
select 5000, 'H0066' union all
select 100, 'H0036;TT' union all
select 200, 'T1016;XX' union all
select 200, 'H0036' union all
select 300, '99999;HH' union all
select 300, 'AAAAA' union all
select 400, '99999' union all
select 500, 'H0017;15' union all
select 500, 'H0036;XX'

I want to select records for a given clt_num based on weights (precedence) given to the different proc_cde(s). The rules for selecting the rows are:

If clt_num only has one row select that row

Select row that has the highest proc_cde by precedence for given clt_num

If clt_num has two or more rows but no proc_cde with an assigned precedence select both rows.
Note that there is a twist with the proc_cds in that they can have garbage at the end in the data records and I don't care about the garbage H0036, H1036;XX will have the same weight.

Therefore my expected results are:

clt_numproc_cde
100H0036;TT
200T1016;XX
30099999;HH
300AAAAA
40099999
500H0036;XX
1000H0017
2000T0017
300099999
3000AAAAA
400099999
5000H0039

In attempting to solve this problem I created a temp table called ProcCde_Weights:

create table #ProcCde_Weights
(proc_cde varchar(10),
weight int)
insert #ProcCde_Weights
(proc_cde,weight)
select 'H0039', 10 union all
select 'T1017', 20 union all
select 'T1016', 30 union all
select 'H0036', 40 union all
select 'T2011', 50 union all
select '90806', 60 union all
select '90862', 70 union all
select 'T1002', 80 union all
select 'H2031', 90 union all
select 'H2023', 100

And wrote this query:

select t.clt_num,
t.proc_cde,
case when p.weight is null then 1000
else p.weight
end as weight
from #TestData t left join #ProcCde_Weights p on t.clt_num = t.clt_num
and p.proc_cde = left(t.proc_cde,5)

which gives me this:

clt_numproc_cdeweight
1000H00171000
2000T101630
2000H003640
2000T00171000
3000999991000
3000AAAAA1000
4000999991000
5000H00171000
5000H00661000
100H0017;TT1000
200T101630
200H003640
30099999;HH1000
300AAAAA1000
400999991000
500H0017;151000
500H0036;XX40

… but now I need to modify the query with using the min function or max function (I think) to only select rows according to the rules I gave.

… and once again I seem to have a mental block when it comes to composing queries with aggregate functions.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Laurie

p.s. can anybody point me to any books or tutorials that can help me wrap my mind around aggregate functions.

Nested Aggregates

I need to avg the groups in the footer, but of course I cannot nest aggregates, so I tried this, but it doesn't work either. Any suggestions???


=Avg(ReportItems("Textbox6").Value)

8114 Workaround

Dec 14, 2004

The very simplified version of my problem is that these

Select DISTINCT Cast(KWID as NUMERIC)
FROM OV_MID

Select DISTINCT Convert(Numeric,KWID)
FROM OV_MID

should work, but don't because KWID is a varchar and somewhere in there is something that won't convert.

I get this error:
Server: Msg 8114, Level 16, State 5, Line 1
Error converting data type varchar to numeric.

I would love to find out which rows are causing the error, but more importantly I would like to have a Null value where the conversion doesn't work and the numeric values where it does work.

I have already deleted all obvious non-numeric characters, but I believe there are some line terminators being read as carriage returns in this table. :confused:

Any workaround or way to determine which rows have KWID that cannot be converted to numeric would be most appreciated.

Thanks!

Deadlocks Workaround?

Jul 20, 2005

Hi All,I have read about deadlocks here on Google and I was surprised to readthat an update and a select on the same table could get into adeadlock because of the table's index. The update and the selectaccess the index in opposite orders, thereby causing the deadlock.This sounds to me as a bug in SQL Server!My question is: Could you avoid this by reading the table with a'select * from X(updlock)' before updating it? I mean: Would thisresult in the update transaction setting a lock on the index rowsbefore accessing the data rows?Merry Christmas!/Fredrik Möller

Aggravation Over Aggregates ... Arrrrrg …

Feb 13, 2007

Hi,

I have the following test data:

create table #TestData
(clt_num int,
ins_num int)

Insert into #TestData
(clt_num, ins_num)
Select 16, 1 union all
Select 16, 90 union all
Select 16, 999999 union all
Select 16, 389 union all
Select 18, 1 union all
Select 18, 90 union all
Select 18, 999999 union all
Select 24, 999999 union all
Select 24, 1 union all
Select 31, 1 union all
Select 31, 999999 union all
Select 31, 90 union all
Select 31, 389 union all
Select 35, 999999 union all
Select 35, 389 union all
Select 283, 1 union all
Select 283, 90 union all
Select 283, 999999 union all
Select 283, 310 union all
Select 500, 1 union all
Select 100, 90

… which I then combine the ins_num into insurance types:

select clt_num,
case
when ins_num = 1 then 'Caid'
when ins_num = 90 then 'Care'
when ins_num in (189,195,310) then 'HMO'
when ins_num between 381 and 389 then 'TPO'
when ins_num = 999999 then 'TPO'
end as InsuranceType
from #TestData
order by clt_num

… and get the following results:

clt_numInsuranceType
16Caid
16Care
16TPO
16TPO
18Caid
18Care
18TPO
24TPO
24Caid
31Caid
31TPO
31Care
31TPO
35TPO
35TPO
100Care
283Caid
283Care
283TPO
283HMO
500Caid

But what I really want is only one line per clt_num and where if clients have more than 1 insurance type the insurance type should be replaced with dual:

clt_numInsuranceType
16Dual
18Dual
24Dual
31Dual
35TPO or Dual (?*)
100Care
283Dual
500Caid


?* This is a special case and I do not know if the results should say Dual or not. I think TPO stands for Third Party Only (in which case they wouldn't care how many third parties the client has and the results should be TPO) … but if I am wrong then this should be Dual. I will ask my boss tomorrow to clarify, but it would be nice to have a solution for both ways.

I know I need to do something with count and stuff, but for some reason I have a mental block when it comes to agregate functions.

Thanks in advance for any help finishing up the query.

Using PIVOT With Multiple Aggregates

Jan 16, 2008

I'd like to merge the 2 statements shown below into one. I'm wondering if there is a method of using PIVOT to get the SUM and COUNT aggregates in one statement. The only option I can get working is to use these as sub-queries but I'm hoping there is a better approach.

An answer would be great as would a better on-line resource than the BOL "Using PIVOT and UNPIVOT" topic.

Any guidance much appreciated.

SQL2000 SP1.

Are there any known workarounds/fixes/patches for this (other than just hand-coding the function?)

Whileprintingrecords Equivalent Or Workaround?

Apr 10, 2008

I'm converting crystal reports to SSRS reports right now and came across this function that I'm not familiar with.
It's a formula field in crystal that has this formula:

quote:whileprintingrecords;
NumberVar RTCurrent;
NumberVar RT31to60;
NumberVar RT61to90;
NumberVar RT91to120;
NumberVar RTOver120;
if {@AgedDays} < 31 then RTCurrent := RTCurrent + {@BalanceDue} else
if ({@AgedDays} > 30 and {@AgedDays} < 61) then RT31to60 := RT31to60 + {@BalanceDue} else
if ({@AgedDays} > 60 and {@AgedDays} < 91) then RT61to90 := RT61to90 + {@BalanceDue} else
if ({@AgedDays} > 90 and {@AgedDays} < 121) then RT91to120 := RT91to120 + {@BalanceDue} else
if {@AgedDays} > 120 then RTOver120 := RTOver120 + {@BalanceDue}

@Aged days is just an integer, but that shouldn't matter for this thread.

Is there just a While loop equivalent for this in SSRS?

Workaround CREATE MASTER KEY??

Apr 10, 2008

At some point in time, when I release my code from developemnt to production, somebody will onvoke the SQL Script containg my certificates and symettric keys based on my master key. Unfortunately this seems a bit of a weekness as my SQL SCRIPT contains the CREATE MASTER KEY ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD stement which has the password itself in clear. (script gets invoked from a command line in a batch script which is all under documeny mangement control). Obviously I would not like my password to be be in clear anywhere - i.e. not in document control nor viewable from whoever invokes the script. What is best pracrice to adopt on this? - encrypt the script file?

UDF Taking Too Long To Run Workaround ?

Apr 28, 2006

I have written a UDF into which I pass a table name, field name, value of the field, whether alpha characters are valid, whether numerics are valid, and a string of alphanumerics that are valid. I return back a string with all invalid characters removed. Unfortunately when I use this on names and addresses in an 12000 row table, it takes forever to run.

Workaround For Precendence Constraint

Apr 30, 2007

Hi,



Any insights to this issue would be great.

Following is my problem statement. I have write around 20Batch programs and in each batch i have atleast 7-8 data validations. If any of the data validation fails then i have to perform a log operation and exit.



Now I have each of my data validation as a Script Task (Control Flow) which inturn would call my SP and set the "Status" variable accordingly



I have written a "OnVariableValueChanged" Event with Raise Change Event for "Status" variable set to "True" Now in this event i check if Status = False, if it is false then i perform the log operation and throw a new DTSException to abort the control flow execution. The event gets fired but it continues to process the next control step(but i wanted it stop there). I could have acheived this by setting a precendence constraint (Status = True) for all of my control flow task but i feel the other approach to be very elegant.



Any suggestions to make this work??



Thanks & Regards

Aggregates Displayed In Group Header.

Nov 12, 2007

I have a report that consists of three nested group levels. Each level can be expanded/collapsed. I wanted to have at each level the summed values:

e.g.

+ Group Header 1 Sum1 Sum2 etc..

+ Group Header 2 Sum1 Sum2 etc..

+ Group Header 3 Sum1 Sum2 etc..



Rather I have had to output the aggregated values like so ..

+ Group Header 1

+ Group Header 2

+ Group Header 3
Total Group Footer Sum1 Sum2 etc..
Total Group Footer Sum1 Sum2 etc..
Total Group Footer Sum1 Sum2 etc..

Is there a way to display the aggregated values at the header level of the grouping. I thought this could be possible if I could hide the Group Footer and directly reference the footer sum total values in the header. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

User-Defined Aggregates With Parameters

Mar 25, 2008

I have to write an aggregate which accumulates values in a relation to a parameter. Therefore I tried to create an aggregate with an additional input parameter.

While creating the aggregate, I get the following error message:
CREATE AGGREGATE failed because type 'MKT' does not conform to UDAGG specification due to method 'Accumulate'.

Does anybody know, how I could solve this?



Public Sub Accumulate(ByVal value As SQLDouble, ByVal param1 as SQLDouble)
Const uGK as double = 0.008

result = result + Math.Exp(-param1/(uGK *value) )
End Sub

Aggregates Problem (Analysis Services)

May 21, 2008

Hi,

I would like to change the aggregate "sum" for "avg" for some of the measures of my cube.
I know it's possible with calculated member (i have already done that) but i would like a more efficient method, in fact i would like the results to be stored in my cube... is that possible ?

Thanks for your help

SQL: Using Multiple Aggregates In One SQL Query Statement

Jan 15, 2008

How would you get all those aggregates from the second SELECT statement worked into the first SELECT statement? Can this stuff even all be put into one statement?

What I'm trying to end up with is a table listing the Professor, Course, Year, Registration, and then the amount of A's, B's, etc.

What I have is a table listing the Professor, Course, Year, and Registration. I can also get a list with the counts for each grade. But I need to get the two together somehow. Any thoughts?


SELECT (gp.last_name + ', ' + gp.first_name) AS 'Prof',
gs.course,
LEFT(gs.quarter_year,4) AS 'Year',
COUNT(gs.enroll_id) AS 'Reg'
FROM section s INNER JOIN person p
ON p.person_id = s.person_id
INNER JOIN grade_sheets gs ON gs.section_id = s.section_id
WHERE s.quarter_year = 20073
GROUP BY p.last_name, p.first_name, s.course, s.quarter_year
ORDER BY 'Prof'




SELECT
Count_A =(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM grade_sheets gs WHERE gs.final_grade = 'A' AND gs.section_id = @sectionID),
Count_B =(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM grade_sheets gs WHERE gs.final_grade = 'B' AND gs.section_id = @sectionID),
Count_C =(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM grade_sheets gs WHERE gs.final_grade = 'C' AND gs.section_id = @sectionID),
Count_D =(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM grade_sheets gs WHERE gs.final_grade = 'D' AND gs.section_id = @sectionID),
Count_F =(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM grade_sheets gs WHERE gs.final_grade = 'F' AND gs.section_id = @sectionID)

Slow Database Connection...workaround

Feb 12, 2008

I have a portal site that has many iframes loading various pages. One of the iframes requires data from a database that has a slow connection and right now there is nothing we can do about the slow connection and is something we have to live with.
What seems to be happening though is that even though each page is loading seperatly in an iframe, when the page loads with the slow connection, it seems to hold up processing on the server for the other frames until the connection has been established with the server. It can be something like 10 seconds. I am guessing trying to establish the connection is holding up the worker process on IIS???
So I am trying to find a workaround bearing in mind there is nothing we can do about the slow connection for the time being? Does anyone have any suggestions? One I am thinking of is forcing this frame to load last so at least the other frames are not being held up. Another is maybe to use a seperate thread, but does anyone have any idea on this?
Thanks in advance

Report Footer - Need Viable Workaround

Oct 18, 2007

After digging for some time now into the "guts" of SSRS, I am wondering if anyone out there has any ideas which might help me at this point.

I am trying to write an Invoice report.

Each report can have 1 to n invoices on it.
Each invoice can have 1 to n line items (spanning several pages for the larger ones)
Each page must have a fixed header and footer with account and payment information on it (the page header and page footer work OK for this).

And here is the problem. Each invoice must also include 1 to n images at the end of the report. 2 on a page and take up an entire 8.5 by 11 inch page. (spanning many pages when many line items exist)

Since the report already has a page header and footer with the report detail stuffed in a table in the middle of the page (report body), I am stuck.

I have read several posts which talk about having a can-grow container with a subreport in the existing footer, but I can't even come close to getting this to work. My footer would have to take up the entire page and having nothing but a subreport in it.

I can not provide a link to the images in the report, as each report must print in its entirety without user involvement (no drilling down).

I am thinking that my report is too complex for SSRS at this time. I would love to be proven wrong by someone on this forum.

Thanks for any and all replies.

John

Workaround For Integer Limitation In Dateadd?

Nov 19, 2007

it looks like anything larger than max value for an integer in dateadd's 2nd parameter creates an overflow exception. This pretty much forces us to work no more finitely than minutes in our app. Without a stored proc or ss2008, is there a workaround in sql?

Conditonal SUM Function, Or Similar Conditional Aggregates

Jul 23, 2005

Are there any conditional aggregate functions, such as SUM()?An example would probably be the best way to describe what I'mtrying to do...I have the following table, named Orders, with the following records:ItemNo qty_ord paid------ ----------- ------T101B 1 199.00T101B 1 199.00T101B 1 199.00T101B 1 199.00T101B 1 199.00T101B 1 199.00T101B 1 199.00T101B 1 0.00T101B 1 0.00T101B 1 0.00T101B 1 0.00Z200L 1 50.00Z200L 2 100.00I want to produce the following result set:ItemNo qty_gross qty_net------ ---------- -------T101B 11 7Z200L 3 3The "qty_gross" column in the result set is the sum oftotal items ordered within the ItemNo grouping.Easy enough. However, I also want a column "qty_net" thatis the sum of qty_ord but ONLY IF the amount in the"paid" column is > 0.I tried using the HAVING clause, but that produces acatch 22 situation. If I say "HAVING paid > 0" thenthe qty_gross column is wrong because it leaves out rowsthat contain records with paid = 0 values. If I leaveout the HAVING clause, then the "qty_net" is wrong.Any ideas?select ItemNo, Sum(qty_ord) as qty_gross, Sum(qty_ord) as qty_netfrom Ordersgroup by qty_ord, paid, ItemNohaving paid > 0 ?????Thanks,Robbie
