Hi,
I realize that I need to learn how to write expressions for conditional splits, etc. Frankly, I don't even know what "language" expressions are written in. They look a lot like excel functions to me.
I tried searching the internet for some documentation, but it is sparse.
Can anyone point me to some links, etc that can teach me how to write my own expressions?
Thanks much
Hello,
Im trying to write an expression in a table cell which counts the number off records in a dataset given it is a certain value..
first column cell =count(Fields!idproduct.Value) = 'broadband' row heading = New Sales
second column cell =count(Fields!idproduct.Value) = 'adsl'
I can create a matrix report which will achieve this however I need to create a few other calculated columns which a matrix table doesnt allow hence im trying to do this via expressions in a normal table, can this be done with IIF statements?
Can someone help
thanks
In my continuing saga with writing my little real estate application, I've got the need to upload images to a folder within the website and then capture some image information in a db. I know there are many ways to do this, and have read lots of them. However most answers don't fit what I'd like to do, or they're too complicated for me. Anyway, thought I'd write it from scratch. So, I have 2 pieces of code, 1 that uploads the image to a folder, and another piece that captures information to a db. The first part works great. The image file successfully gets uploaded. Problem lies in the db insert code. It's not capturing and writing to the db. Here's my code, and thanks in advance for your help!

I have a program where I have to do a weekly data upload of approx 1,500 records. I've written the sql, but need to know how I can add static header text to the SQL statement.the text I need in the header is Reportname(Static string) + #rows (Rowcount of the sql, int) + department (String static) I'm planning on writing it and saving it as a package, then schedule it to run every Friday at 5:00. But I have been reading a little on Reporting Services and wonder if people think it' might be the way to go? Is it a whole new area of security issues? Or is it worth installing and learning? I will have more and more reports I need to write that will increase in complexity, and want to know if I want to keep writing querys by hand, or use reporting services. Thanks in advance! Dan

Hi,
I have a table which has a few fields, one being "datetime_traded". I need to write a query which returns the row which has the closest time (down to second) given a date/time. I'm using MS SQL.
Here's what I have so far:
Code:
select * from TICK_D
where datetime_traded = (select min( abs(datediff(second,datetime_traded , Convert(datetime,'2005-05-30:09:31:09')) ) ) from TICK_D)
But I get an error - "The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.".
Does anyone know how i could do this? Thanks a lot for any help!
I want to be able to see when records have been added to a table. The issue is we have a DTS job scheduled to run every night. The developer who wrote it password protected it and doesn't work here anymore. I want to add a step to this series of DTS jobs and want to run it just prior to his job. Is there a way to see when the records are being added or when this job is being run? Thanks again, you guys are the best.

When creating expressions we have access to a list of functions. It is my understanding that while these functions seem to have the same names and parameters as SQL functions, they are not so. They are implemented in the package libraries themselves. It is also my understanding that this function library cannot be extended to add new ones.
Am I correct? If so... why not?
Leaving alone the fact that they follow the same screwy names as SQL (instead of .NET on which SSIS is built on) and what seems to be a limited library (i.e. You have YEAR(), MONTH(), DAY() functions but no HOUR(), MINUTE(), or SEC() functions -- instead you have to use DATEPART())
I mean honestly... a common expression for most people is using date and times for folder and filenames... So instead of a simple .NET type expression of DateTime.ToString("yyyyMMdd") or Format(DateTime.Now, "yyyyMMdd_hhmmss") I end up with the very complex:
(DT_STR, 4, 1252) YEAR( GETDATE() ) + RIGHT("0" + (DT_STR, 2, 1252) MONTH( GETDATE() ), 2) + RIGHT("0" + (DT_STR, 2, 1252) DAY( GETDATE() ), 2) + "_" + RIGHT("0" + (DT_STR, 2, 1252) DATEPART("hour", GetDate()), 2) + RIGHT("0" + (DT_STR, 2, 1252) DATEPART("minute", GetDate()), 2) + RIGHT("0" + (DT_STR, 2, 1252) DATEPART("second", GetDate()), 2)
Personally I find myself using Script Tasks and Variables to "build" my expressions and just use Expressions to set the property to the variable. (Which I think may defeat the full purpose of expressions.)
Any thoughts?
How do I add comments to expressions I create in Reporting Services?

Hello all,
I have come across a road block once again and it is probably something fairly easy to do. I have 3 queries that give counts with different criteria. They are:
SELECT building, COUNT(asmt_number) AS Cnt FROM dbo.mr_gb_asmt WHERE (school_year = 2008) AND (due_date <= CONVERT (DATETIME, '2007-10-26 00:00:00', 102)) AND (publish_scores = 'N') GROUP BY building ORDER BY building SELECT building, COUNT(asmt_number) AS Cnt FROM dbo.mr_gb_asmt WHERE (school_year = 2008) AND (due_date <= CONVERT (DATETIME, '2007-10-26 00:00:00', 102)) GROUP BY building ORDER BY building SELECT building, COUNT(asmt_number) AS Cnt FROM dbo.mr_gb_asmt WHERE (school_year = 2008) AND (due_date <= CONVERT (DATETIME, '2007-10-26 00:00:00', 102)) AND (publish_asmt = 'N') GROUP BY building ORDER BY building
My question is how can I combine these three queries into one so that I only get one record set?
Thanks for all the help!
Hi, the Microsoft SQL Server version is 2000
Basically I want use a basic regular expression but can't seem to get the syntax right.
i want to compare ID_short = ID_Long
ID_short is a truncated version of ID_Long, and I want to search on the beginning only (hence I can't use the 'LIKE' comparative on it's own).
What is the syntax to use Reg Expressions (or if anyone knows a non RegExp way of searching the beginning please let me know).
Thanks
I'm building SSIS packages through code and I would like to set the properties of some custom tasks (not data flow tasks) to expressions. I've done some searches but turned up nothing. This is the only thing I'm hitting a brick wall on at the moment; Books Online has been excellent in detailing how to create packages via code up to this point.
For the sake of argument, let's say I want to set the SqlStatementSource property of an Execute SQL task to this value:
"INSERT INTO [SomeTable] VALUES (NEWID(), '" + @[User:omeStringVariable] + "')"
What would the code look like?
Hey everyone,
I know that you can make an expression that will make it one color if a certain condition is met and a different one if it is not but is there anyway to make it so that if a number is less than another it's one color, if it's greater it's a different color and if they're equal it's a third color? Thanks for the help.

Good Morning all.
Is it possible to put multiple expressions in one cell.
Here is an example of the expressions I'm using. I'm currently having to put them horizontally in a seperate cell.
=Count(IIf (Trim(Fields!NOB_Pickup_L_D_T.Value) = "Y", 1, Nothing))
=Count(IIf (Trim(Fields!NOB_Pickup_L_D_T.Value) = "N", 1, Nothing))
=Count(IIf (Trim(Fields!NOB_Pickup_L_D_T.Value) = "NA", 1, Nothing))
Desired output will look sim to this in one cell
Y = 5
N = 3
NA = 0
Thanks,
Rick

Hello,
When i select jan month i should display december and previous year using expressions. plz advice me.
I have a unusual problem, well it is unusual becaue i cannot understand it.
I am retrieving the following data, Revenue, Sales, Commission, and calculating Commission Rate in the report itself.
I got warnings that a textbox that was attempting to calculate the Commission Rate was trying to divide by zero.
When I analysed the data, I realised that indeed there were instances when Revenue was 0.00 and therefore when calculating the commission rate, commission/revenue it returned an error.
I then thought I'd do the following in the expression field
=iif((Fields!RevenueGbp.Value = 0.00), "Zero", (Fields!Commission.ValueGbp/Fields!RevenueGbp.Value))
However this does not work. However if i tried the following Boolean query
=iif((Fields!RevenueGbp.Value = 0.00), "Zero", Fields!CommissionGbp.Value)
it does work. In fact if I use any other identifier or use two field thats add, subtract or multiplied with each other it will work. The problem only arises is when I decide to divide two fields together.
Strangely if the condition is satisfied - [Fields!RevenueGbp.Value = 0.00] - it will still try to work out the division even though it should just return Zero!
Anyone help?

thanks.
well the real expression is:
@[User::varLogFolder] +"\"+ @[System:ackageName] +"\"+replace(replace(@[User::varFilesCollect],"\","" ),".","")+"\"+"CollectTrnsRxaFecPagLog.txt"
and the error is because:

I need to create a While Loop with the FOR LOOP task.
According to my SSIS book, "to set up a While Loop in the For Loop, simply create an expression that tests a variable that can be modified by some workflow either inside or outside the For Loop"
What I want to do is, put an FTP task (whose job it is to receive a file) inside the For Loop.
I want the control flow to go like:
FOR LOOP --> FTP task --> file received? --> NO --> set variable 0 --> FOR LOOP --> check for variable --> is variable 1? --> NO --> FOR LOOP --> FTP task
and so on, until the variable is set to 1, indicating the successful transfer of the file
According to my book, this can be done simply with the use of expressions.
My question is, how do I write the expressions, both for the FTP task (which will set the variable to 0 or 1), and then the expression for the For Loop, which will evaluate the variable in its expression?
So, seems like I need to write 2 expressions, but not sure how.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

I have a table with about 20,000 records that have a date field, stored as a datetime in the database like '8/28/2006 8:42:14 AM'. The dates range from March 2004 to current. What I would like to do is retrieve the dates in that format (month year) and put them in a dropdown. I have this so far:SELECT DISTINCT DATEPART(month, dte_date) AS Expr1, DATEPART(yyyy, dte_date) AS Expr2 FROM myTable ORDER BY DATEPART(yyyy, dte_date), DATEPART(month, dte_date)And the query returns the information that I want, but I can only bind one field to the dropdown. I was thinking that if I return the results a single expression (concantenate?) then I could bind that to the dropdown. I'm not sure as how to go about this. Also, the month returned is numeric and I would rather have the name of the month returned (like "July" instead of "7"). Thanks in advance to anyone who helps me.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm in the process of building a site and converting views/tables/queries from an Access database to SQL. I've done this quite a few times, and never had any significant issues I couldn't figure out on my own.
In Enterprise Manager, I've created a view and in the query, I need to create an alias that is similar to below:
SELECT ((monthmult) + ((b2avg*15)-(av2*10)) + (lp1+lp2) + ((b1avg*30)-(av1*20))) as PIndexValue
which is how the formula reads in the Access view.
However, when I got to run the query, SQL strips out all of the parentheses and calculates the value in left to right order:
(monthmult + b2avg*15-av2*10 + lp1+lp2 + b1avg*30-av1*20) as PIndexValue
Which gives me an incorrect value.
Does anyone know why this is happening, or am I just unaware of the right way of doing it?
Thank you,
