Dataset Into A Table Or Matrix With Fixed Number Of Columns, Variable Rows
Jul 13, 2007
Hi
I have a dataset with 2 columns, a rownumber and a servername - eg
rownumber servername
1 server1
2 server2
....
15 server15
I want to display the servernames in a report so that you get 3 columns - eg
server1 | server2 | server3
server4 | server5 | server6
...
server13 | server14 | server15
I have tried using multiple tables and lists and filtering the data on each one but this then makes formating very hard - i either end up with a huge gap between columns or the columns overlap
I have also tried using a matrix control but cant find a way to do this.
Does anybody know an easy way to do this? The data comes from sql 2005 so i can use a pivot clause on the dataset if somebody knows a way to do it this way. The reporting service is also RS2005
Thanks
Anthony

Is it possible to display only a certain number of columns in a matrix, say the first 6 and then hide the rest? That is, does the matrix allow to somehow control how many columns can be displayed from a column group and hide the remaining columns (I need this to limit the number of columns a user is able to see so that the matrix width does not get infinitely long).
In other words.....
I need to display the subtotals for all dynamically generated columns but display only first 6 columns. This way I can avoid having to display 50 columns and not have user scroll to so far right and keep the page width within reasonable limits. Hope I have made it clear.
Thanks.

Hi,
I need to count and display the number of records which have GradeTitle="SHO". I'm only starting to use BI development studio and all attempts at using the built in aggregate functions have failed.
Also, the report I wish to create has a fixed number of columns and a fixed number of rows as the info being displayed is really only counting values in the DB. I tried using Table but multiple rows were created.
I'd appreciate if anyone could point me in the right direction, as searching this forum turned out to be pretty fruitless for me.
Thanks in advance,
John

I have a table with 3 columns (ID Int , Name Varchar(25), Course Varchar(20))
My source data looks like below
ID     Name       Course
1Â Â Â Â Â Â Â AÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Java
1Â Â Â Â Â Â Â AÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â C++
2Â Â Â Â Â Â Â BÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Java
2Â Â Â Â Â Â Â BÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â SQL Server
2Â Â Â Â Â Â Â BÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â .Net
2Â Â Â Â Â Â Â BÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â SAP
3Â Â Â Â Â Â Â CÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Oracle
My Output should look like below...
ID     Name      Course(1)    Course(2)        Course(3)    Course(4) Â
1       A                Java           C++
2       B                Java           SQL Server .Net            SAP
3Â Â Â Â Â Â Â CÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Oracle
Basically need t-sql to Convert non fixed rows to non fixed columns...
Rule: IF each ID and Name have more than 1 course then show it in new columns as course(1) course(2)..Course(n)
Create SQL:
Create table Sample (ID Int null , Name Varchar(25) null, Course Varchar(20) null)
Insert SQL:
INSERT Sample (ID, Name, Course)
         VALUES (1,'A','Java'),
                (1,'A','C++'),
                (2,'B','Java'),
                (2,'B','SQL Server'),
                (2,'B','.Net'),
                (2,'B','SAP'),
                (3,'C','Oracle')

I am creating a report that uses the Matrix control. I need to display a fixed number of columns (5). In my query, I am returning the top 5 rows of data. However, in some cases there are less than 5 rows of data returned from the dataset. Is there a way to force the number of columns displayed in the matrix control and to populate with some text (such as "n/a") if no data is available?
Thanks!

A table has a column of int type. I need to select a fixed number of rows for each value. For example, if data in that column (c) are 5, 6, 7, and the number I want to select is 2, then I need 2 rows from c=5, 2 from c=6, and 2 from c=7. How to write that query? Any idea?
Thanks.

I have this doubt and want to be sure if my thinking is correct.
Lets consider 2 tables one with Fixed length columns (char) and other table with Variable length columns (Varchar).
The table with fixed length column will always allocate same size within a Page however, table with variable length column will allocate actual length of data within a page.
I think that updates happening on table with fixed length columns will have more possibility of InPlace updates at least from data length perspective, however updates on table with variable length columns will have more split updates from data length perspective.

HI all !
I am having a bit of a problem trying to limit a number of columns in a matrix appearing on a page.
At the moment, I have a dataset that lists the month and the mail packages that were sent during the month
The matrix works great HOWEVER, if there were more than 8 months in the matrix columns, it does not break and would make the page look like a huge landscape page.
I am trying to limit the number of columns appearing (this is the months column) on the matrix so that the pages stay in a potrait position. IE: every 8 columns appear on one page. Is there an option or an expression I could use in the Matrix ?
Thanks!

I managed to transpose rows into columns.
;WITH
ctePreAgg AS
(
select top 500 act_reference "ActivityRef",
row_number() over (partition by act_reference order by act_reference) as rowno,
t3.s_initials "Initials"
from mytablestuff
order by act_reference
[code]...
But what I would love to do next is take each of the above rows - and return the initials either in one column with all the nulls and duplicate values removed, separated by a comma ..
ref, initials
Ag-4xYS
Ag-6xYS,BL
Ap-1xKW
At-2x SAS,CW
At-3x SAS,CW
OR the above but using variable number of columns based on the maximum number of different initials for each row.this is not strictly required, but maybe neater for further work on the view
ref, init1,init2
Ag-4xYS
Ag-6xYS,BL
Ap-1xKW
At-2x SAS,CW
At-3x SAS,CW

I have one column in a matrix component and it has about 7 items, but the only the items which have values on the page appear at the top of that page.
This is for a labratory so the columns are the different Patient Types and the rows are the different Test Mnemonics. If one of the Patient Types is not used in any of the tests on that page, it doesnt show up. How to I make sure all Patient Types show up on every page?
Thank you all.

We are trying to use the Import/export wizard to load a text file to a SQL Server 2005 database. The input file has a variable number of columns per row. For example, the first row has 3 columns, the second has 7, the third has 3, etc. The number of columns varies from 2 to 9 in the input file. The columns are separated by an uptick (`) and the rows are terminated by {CR}{LF}. We are using code page 1252. On processing, the wizard reads the first row (with 3 columns) ok, but then assumes all the other rows have 3 columns and parses the rows accordingly, ignoring the field and row terminators.
The process worked fine with SQL Server 2000. Is there some setting that we are missing, or some configuration on the database that we should be checking?
Thank You

Hi, I need to update a number of columns in a number of tables - I just don't know how many. In this case, I am updating all varchar fields and nvarchar fields to be converted to lower case. The problem is that the table structure is amended over time as columns are added programmatically, so I do not know which tables have which columns and if so which of them are varchars.
I can get a table of which fields I need to update using:
SELECT TABLE_NAME, COLUMN_NAME, ORDINAL_POSITION, DATA_TYPE
INTO tblTempLCase
FROM information_schema.columns
WHERE DATA_TYPE LIKE '%varchar'
and I can do the update with UPDATE tblxxx SET column = LOWER(column)
But what I don't know is how to step through my temporary table and do the updates. I can do it in ASP.NET, but that involves pushing commands and data between ASP and SQL, and will be too slow. How do I do it in SQL?
Thanks,
Dave Stephens

Hi,
I need to update a number of columns within a number of tables - I just don't know how many. In this case, I want to convert all varchar and nvarchar columns to lower-case versions of themselves. The problem is that the table structure is changed programatically, and so at any point in time I cannot be certain what fields are in which table, and what data type they are.
I know that I can get a lit of columns using:
SELECT TABLE_NAME, COLUMN_NAME, ORDINAL_POSITION, DATA_TYPE
INTO tblTempLCase
FROM information_schema.columns
WHERE DATA_TYPE LIKE '%varchar'
and do the update using:
UPDATE tblABCDE SET column = LOWER(column).
In ASP.NET I can pull in this temporary table using a SQL Data Adapter, and then step through the records to formulate the UPDATE statements and execute them all. However, I hope that this is possible in SQL too, so that I do not have to keep firing data/commands between ASP and SQL, as it should be quicker, and is also neater.
If so, how do you do it?
Thanks,
Dave Stephens

Can we do this?
Adding more columns in a matrix report that don€™t
belong to the columns drilldown dimensions€¦
That is, for example, having the following report:
Product Family
Product
Country City Number of units sold
Then I
would add some ratios, that is, Units Sold/Months (sold per month) and other that
is the average for Product Family (Units Sold/Number of Product Family), for putting an example€¦ some
columns should be precalculated prior to the report so do not get into it, the
real problem I don€™t see how to solve is adding one or two columns for showing
these calculated column that doesn€™t depend on the column groups but they do
for the rows groups€¦
Any guidance
on that?
The only
way I am seeing by now is to set it as two different reports, and that is not
what my client wants€¦
Many
thanks,
Jose

Using Microsoft query analyser SQL version 8, I believe.
Got a SQL table with a column that has NULLS in it. What I want to do is fill down the value in the row above based on a condition in another column (recordtype). Came up with the following code but unfortunately it only fills in the record directly below. Not those further down (variable number of NULL rows). Any idea how to get these to fill down? Suspect the answer may lie with block cursors but 1) I'm told they're slow (I have 2 and 1/2 million records in this table) and 2) I've never used cursors before!
________________
Update dbo.NSTS
Set dbo.NSTS.Number = NSTS_1.Number
FROM dbo.NSTS LEFT OUTER JOIN
dbo.NSTS AS NSTS_1 ON dbo.NSTS.[Id] = ((NSTS_1.[Id])+1)
WHERE dbo.NSTS.RecordType like '101' AND (dbo.NSTS.Number is null or dbo.NSTS.Number like '')
________________
Example of data table here:
ID RecordType Number
1 100 4325273182
2 101 NULL
3 101 NULL
4 101 NULL
5 100 4342684020
6 100 4342696800
7 100 4304028782
8 100 4305914743
9 101 NULL
10 101 NULL
11 100 4328179942
12 101 NULL
13 101 NULL
14 101 NULL
15 101 NULL
16 100 4329313804
17 100 4329874164
18 101 NULL
19 100 4330053764
20 101 NULL
_________________
I did get a cursor loop working but can only retrieve 1 row and (try as I might with the so called help examples) can't seem to pull down 2 rows at a time. Just can't seem to get it to accept this command at all: SQLSetStmtAttr(hStmt, SQL_ATTR_ROW_ARRAY_SIZE, (SQLPOINTER) 2 ,0).
Help would be very much appreciated!

I have a booking system which stores an event along with a start date and a finish date. I want to create a table which has a row for each day the event is on. I can find the number of days easily enough using a datediff function but I don't know how to translate this into that number of rows. My current thinking is to cross join the original table out to another temporary table with a large number of rows and use SQL2005 to only select the top 'x' rows, then use the rownumber of this temp table to add the required number of days to the StartDate to get each eventdate. Currently I use a loop to build the required table but there must be a way to get it all done in a single statement :)
Thanks
ORIGINAL DATA
EventID StartDate EndDate
1 1/1/08 1/1/08
2 20/1/08 22/1/08
REQUIRED DATA
EventID EventDate
1 1/1/08
2 20/1/08

Hi,
We are building an application with
a database that contains Jobs. These Jobs have properties like Name, Code etc.
and some custom properties, definable by the application admin. For bulk import
of Jobs, we want to allow the import of an Excel sheet with the columns Name,
Code and a variable amount of columns. If the header names of these columns in
the Excel sheet match the name of a custom property in the system we want to add
the value of that cell into the database as property
value.
In our Data Flow of our Import
Package in SSIS we added an Excel Source that points to a test excel sheet with
the Name and Code columns and €“ for this example - 3 custom property columns
(Area, Department, Job Family). When we configure the Excel Source in the Excel
Source Editor, we have the option to select the Columns from the Available
External Columns table. But here lays the problem, we do not know at design
time, what custom property columns to expect. We DO expect the Name and Code
columns, but the rest is uncertain at design-time.
That raises the question: Is there
some way to select all of any incoming columns (something like a SELECT * in
T-SQL)? This looks like a big problem since it would mean that the .DTSX XML that is
being generated at design-time would need to be updated at run-time to reflect
the variability of the columns that might be encountered while reading the excel
sheet.
Then, we thought, we could add a Script
Component to our data flow that passes some kind of DataSet (or DataReader) in
which we can walk through the columns ourselves? But then still, we miss the
option to include ANY of the columns while reading an Excel sheet (or any other
datasource by the looks of it)
We are aware of the option of
optional columns in combination with the RaggedRight option, but it seems that
we would have to put all of the columns of a row in just one column and then
extract all the columns later with Derived Columns. But then, since the source
import file is being prepared by an application admin, we want don€™t want to
burden him with this horrendous task of putting everything in one
column.
We would like to have some way of
iterating through all the columns, either in a Script Component or maybe with a
Pivot/Unpivot mechanism.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Are there other options we should have considered?

I am writing a package that will process delimited flat files that will come in one of a few different versions. Within each flat file, the number of delimited columns will be the same, but each version of the file has a different number of columns. I have tried configuring the flat file data source to expect the version with the largest number of columns, but it will then throw away rows that have less than this number of columns (warning: There is a partial row at the end of the file).
Is it possible to use a single flat file data source that will work with all of the different width files?

I want to load flat files into a single table. But the flat files can have variable number of columns upto a maximum of 10 columns. The table in my database has 10 columns in it. So in case if I load a flat file having 6 columns then rest of the columns in the table will have nulls. I don't want to use script task for this as I am not good in writing C#code.

I have a table and matrix placed next to each other in my report:
[Table displaying ProjectInfo, Revenue, etc.. ][Matrix displaying Monthly Distribution]
When I run the report, the result set returns say 100 rows for table and a row for each project in Matrix. The header and detail rows of table and matrix are perfectly aligned with each other, however, on the first page the table displays 47 rows and then breaks while the matrix displays 50 and breaks. On the next page the Matrix is three rows shorter. As a result the bottom of each control does not align on any page.
Any ideas what could be going wrong or how to fix this?
Thanks.
