I am in doubt if its possible to make a select statement which enables me to consolidate multiple lines in the same table.
I have a table with a lot of companies and figures for each company.
Some of the companies owns some of the other companies in the table and in reverse, some of the companies are owned by some of the companies in the table.
I have a lot of columns, but basically the most important columns are:
Company Name, Company Mother , Company Daughter.
Each company has also a revenue column.
What I want to do is to consolidate all figures for absolute mothers e.i. companies which are not owned by another company in the list.
I therefore need a select statement which says something like:
Get the revenue of companies not owned by another company (e.i. absolute mother). Add to this, the revenue of all its daughters. Add to this the revenue of all the daughters daughters etc. until there are no daughters left.
In other words - aggregate the revenue for all the companies in the group under the name of the ultimate parent company.
I can easily select and add the revenue for the first level of direct daughters, but I dont know how many more daughters the daughters has etc.
I have a report with several matrix objects. The data contained in each matrix is simple. One matrix has one column of labels and a column of data. The other has 3 columns of data. Both matrix's only show about 25 rows of data. A variable amount of data is displayed above the matrix's so that sometime the render across a page boundary. Whenever this happens the matrix doesn't render rows down to the bottom of the page. A considerable amount of empty space is left on the page, the completed matrix is displayed on the next page. I'm wondering how to get the matrix to render in this empty space.
This problem only occurs when I view the report on screen, in the Visual Studio "Preview" window, or from the Report Server web site. Tiff, pdf and printed output doesn't contain the extra space.
I've tried adding my matrix to a List and a Rectangle to see of this would fix the problem but it didn't help.
I've check the dimensions and margins or the page and I don't think I have any sizing problems, everything should fit on the page.
Hey, take a look at the below. I need to sum the real balance of a line with the credit with the line above, or, n + 1. I don't wanna to have to walk across the lines to do the sum. Any idea of how to do that in a easier and better way? I tried using T-SQL, but I couldn't figure out how to do a reference to the next line on the SQL without moving the cursor.

I'm using SQL mail to send an email from a stored procedure which works fine. However I need a line break in the middle of this email which I am struggling to achieve. I've tried adding char(13)+char(10) to the middle of the email body string but this does not seem to do anything. Any ideas?
I am using SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services and all my reports preview with many more pages, as the preview will show Page 1 of 20, but if I print the report I get say 12 pages. The reports are always correct, but the preview show less data per page? Is there a way to get the preview to be what is going to print out?
This occurs in MS Visual Studio 2005 also as well as from the web. On a drill down report I get on some reports only 10 line when the print out will have 30 lines perpage

We have a very long and complicated SQL script which we run to upgradea version of our software from old to new. It works great in QueryAnalyzer, but when run through osql it takes errors on lines that arevery long and (I think) stops reading after a certain amount ofcharacters. I've searched the net but haven't found anyone mentioningthis before. I have tried the -w 5000 parm to no avail.Any suggestions?

Hi, The chart is set to simple line I can not get my SSRS chart to show just the dots, instead it is joining the points together and show the points joining together and therefor appear as lines.. even tried setting the chart to simple scatter but then nothing appears on graph. Any thoughts please?
i wanna create two line types on the same graph. I'm using the following queries.
Code Block select count(l.created) as LoanOriginationNumberPreApproved , convert(char( 11), l.Created) as PreApprovedDate from LoanApplication l where l.Status <> 'Cancelled' Group by l.Created
and
Code Block select count(l.SubmittedOn) as LoanOriginationNumber , convert(char( 11), l.SubmittedOn) as SubmittedDate from LoanApplication l where l.Status <> 'Cancelled' Group by l.SubmittedOn
I combined these queries. I add clumns of the second query to select statement of first code. also added group by l.submittedon to group by l,created as group by l.created, l.submiited on. This is the problem.(I mean grouping)
But then SSRS does not allow me to put preaaproveddate and submitteddate to drop category filed? Does anyone know how to do that?

Not long ago I accountered this situation: I had two databases on "MS SQL Server". In one of the databases there was a nomenclature with very large primary key. I had to transport that nomenclature and transform the wide PK into single identity column into the other database.
I decided to use a function for that transformation. BUT that function had to mark somewhere which combination of the PK columns is relative to which identity value. BUT functions CAN'T WRITE under MSSQL. So I took the challenge and mine all sources of information. The result was a function "Exec4Fun" that breaks the rule. I suppose that with this function it's possible to avoid the restriction for triggers, which prevents writing in the triggering table? (not tested yet)
If someone needs such tools, just write back your e-mail and I'll send some code.

I have a table that I want to show only 3 times in every page. If the dataset return to me 7 results i want to show The first 3 in page 1, the second 3 in page 2, the last in page 3... only 3 in every page.
I created that function:
Function saltoCada(ByVal n As Integer)
If (iCount < n) Then
iCount = iCount + 1
Else
iCount = 1
End If
Return iCount
End Function
I created a group in a table with that expression: =Code.saltoCada(3) and then add a page break at end in the group.
Is that the way to do this?It doesn't work.. Any ideas?
I have a multiline textbox where users enter comments, then the comments are put into a SQL table, then a datagrid retrieves the comments from the table and displays them. The problem is when a user has blank lines between paragraphs, the datagrid simply puts the paragraphs together. I know I can use the <br> command to display the text properly in the grid, but how do I get the <br> command to store in the SQL table where the paragraph breaks would be. The paragraph breaks go into the SQL table as nothing more than several spaces. How do I get this to work?
