Hi,
I wonder if there a function that i can use in the expression builder that return a value (e.g o) if the input value is null ( Like ifnull(colum1,0) )
i hope to have the answer because i need it so much.
Maylo
Anyone know the reaon the Left function was left out of the list of string functions in the Expression Builder?

I have got a sql query and converting a Crystal report to Sql report but struggling on few places.When I created the report I need to have a column where I am struggling to figure out how to add this to the column
"if {Clocked_In} = "Y" then
  "Yes"
else
   if {This} then "Holiday"
       else if {Sick} then "Sick"
           else if {Absent} then "Absent"
               else "No"
 "In Crystal four columns make into one but I am not sure how can I do it in SQL report builder.Â
Hi everyone,
I have created a view from the exisiting table to use in the report builder model and in the table whenever there is a null(when users does not enter a date for this particular field in the application) for datetime field either of these 2 ("1/1/1753" and "12/31/9999") dates are stored . Since I am creating my views based on these tables these dates will be in my views as well. Checking for this at the application level and cleaning up is not a option for me at this time.
So what I am trying to do is to check for these values and replace it with Null or blank in the model designer expression property. So that when user creates a report using this field they will not see these sql standard dates.
I tried using conditional IF in Model designer .
EX:
IF(Next MCR Review Date = 1/1/1753,EMPTY,Next MCR Review Date)
IF(Next MCR Review Date = 1/1/1753,NULL,Next MCR Review Date)
Both of these gives me errors.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong and also are there any other ways to get to what I want.
I have already spent a lot of time digging for documentation but no luck any help is appreciated.
Thanks a Lot

I have a end users that is in need of a some way to rank results in a Report Builder report. I have noticed that neither the RowCount or Ranking function is listed in the avaliable functions or expressions. Does anyone have an idea or solution to perform some type of ranking.
Example:
Name Count Rank
Brad 10 1
Bill 9 2
John 8 3
Seems to be a pretty simple function that was overlooked in Report Builder by MS.
I have created a function to return values, which works fine, but I can't do calculations in it.
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[tf_Asset_Portfolio](@deal_id int,
@as_of_date datetime)
RETURNS TABLE
AS
RETURN ( SELECT DISTINCT dbo.Assets.issue_id, SUM(DISTINCT dbo.Assets.par_amount) AS par_amount, SUM(DISTINCT dbo.Assets.par_amount) AS market_value
FROM dbo.Issue INNER JOIN
dbo.Assets ON dbo.Issue.issue_id = dbo.Assets.issue_id INNER JOIN
dbo.Issuer_Rating_History ON dbo.Issue.issuer_id = dbo.Issuer_Rating_History.issuer_id
WHERE (dbo.Issuer_Rating_History.as_of_date <= @as_of_date)
GROUP BY ALL dbo.Assets.issue_id, dbo.Assets.deal_id, dbo.Issue.default_date
HAVING (dbo.Assets.deal_id = @deal_id) )
I need to do calculations on market value based on the default date.
If default date isn't specified then it should be 100% of par amount.
If default date is less than one year ago - 65% of the par_amount.
If default date is one or more years ago - 0.
I have no idea about how to do this and everything I try wont work.
I created another function to do the calculations and this seems to work, but it only does one record instead of all of them.
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.tf_Asset_Portfolio2
(@deal_id int,
@as_of_date datetime)
RETURNS @Market TABLE
(issue_id int, par_amount money, market_value money)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @ReturnDate datetime
DECLARE @DD datetime
DECLARE @PA money
DECLARE @MV money
DECLARE @ID int
DECLARE @DateD int
SELECT TOP 1
@ReturnDate = LAST_BATCH
FROM master..sysprocesses
WHERE SPId = @@SPID
SELECT @ID = issue_id FROM Assets WHERE Assets.deal_id = @deal_id
SELECT @PA = SUM(DISTINCT par_amount) FROM Assets WHERE Assets.issue_id = @ID AND Assets.deal_id = @deal_id
SELECT @DD = default_date FROM Issue WHERE Issue.issue_id = @ID
SET @DateD = DateDiff("yyyy", @DD, @ReturnDate)
If @DD = Null
BEGIN
SET @MV = @PA
END
Else If @DD > @ReturnDate
BEGIN
SET @MV = @PA
END
Else If @DateD < 1
BEGIN
SET @MV = @PA * .65
END
Else If @DateD >= 1
BEGIN
SET @MV = 0
END
insert into @Market
(issue_id, par_amount, market_value)
values
(@ID,@PA,@MV)
RETURN
END
I need to combine the functionality of being able to return mutliple records that isn't in the 2nd function and being able to calculate the market value which isn't in the first one. Please help. Thank you in advance.
Hi, I am a new to Reporting Services...
I am using RS2000
I am trying to apply cint function in the expression editor for the textbox
eg. i type in =cint(Fields!firstfield.Value/Fields!secondfield.Value).
This is returning error
The value expression for the textbox €˜HoldDuration€™ contains an error: Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow.
Could you please let me know what I did wrong in this and how to correctly apply VB or any custom functions in the expression editor where the expession output would be a decimal value and you are interested in getting an integer value by rounding the fractional part.
Hi everyone,
I have created a report which has 3 groups. The report output as shown below. I am having trouble getting the SUM of Total Credtis for each Org.
Can't seem to get the total 42 and 16 (highlighted), but can get total unists 11 and 13. I get expression contains aggregate function. This is because Units assessed is the Count of IDs (details hidden from the report).
Report has three groups Org , Assessor and Unit.
Can someone please help me with this?
Appreciate help.

hi,
i am using a forEach look to import each file within a folder, but i also need to calculate the dataset related ot these files.
the file are named as:
ff_inbound_20071008_1.csv
ff_inbound_20071008_2.csv
where for file ff_inbound_20071008_1.csv:
ff => flat file
inbound => dataset of this csv
20071008 => date
1=> file count
having in mind that they are store in the variable as a full path:
z:myFlatFilesexportsproj01ff_inbound_20071008_2.csv
i need to extract the dataset and the date for each file.
how can i extract these terms from the file name?
many thanks,
nicolas
I need to translate a user€™s regional setting into one of our own language codes before I send it through as a filter to the model query. If our language codes were the same, the filter would look like this in the report filter -
Language Code = GetUserCulture()
Which translates to this in the database query (for us english) -
table.language_code = 'EN-us'
And of course I need it to look like this -
table.language_code = 'ENG'
I would like the logic to be globally available to all report writers (ie not forcing each report writer to have an iif or case stataement). I was thinking custom assemblies or maybe a database function, but at this level of the filter, I cannot seem to figure out how to embed a database function call to apply to the filter criteria like this
Language Code = dbo.ConvertFcnIWrote(GetUserCulture())
Or how I would access the custom assembly in the filter expression.
Do you have a recommended implementation for this situation?
Thanks,

I am trying to create a column chart that calculates the percentage of computers in our IT environment that are Actively communicating to our SCCM Server.
I have two datasets:
1. Total_Count_Of_AD_PC DataSet.
2. PC_With_Active_SCCM_Clients dataset.
Basically i wan to calculate the percentage for each Region (i.e. AP for Asia Pacific, EMEA, Americas).
Below is the Total_Count_Of_AD_PC  Dataset screenshot.
Below is the PC_With_Active_SCCM_Clients dataset.
Below is the expression that i used that is causing the error.
=CountDistinct(IIf(Fields!Region.Value="AP", "PC_With_Active_SCCM_Clients"),(Fields!Name.Value, "PC_With_Active_SCCM_Clients"),Nothing)/CountDistinct(IIf(Fields!Region.Value="AP", "Total_Count_Of_AD_PC"),(Fields!name.Value,
"Total_Count_Of_AD_PC"),Nothing)
Below is the error message....
The Y expression for the chart ‘Chart2’ has a scope parameter that is not valid for an aggregate function. The scope parameter must be set to a string constant that is equal to either the name of a containing group, the name of a containing data region, or the name of a dataset.
I have this function in access I need to be able to use in ms sql. Having problems trying to get it to work. The function gets rid of the leading zeros if the field being past dosn't have any non number characters.For example:TrimZero("000000001023") > "1023"TrimZero("E1025") > "E1025"TrimZero("000000021021") > "21021"TrimZero("R5545") > "R5545"Here is the function that works in access:Public Function TrimZero(strField As Variant) As String Dim strReturn As String If IsNull(strField) = True Then strReturn = "" Else strReturn = strField Do While Left(strReturn, 1) = "0" strReturn = Mid(strReturn, 2) Loop End If TrimZero = strReturnEnd Function

I've gotten to the point of publishing the new reports on the SSRS server and have run into the following problem.
I use a field in the primary report with the "Go to report" action to open up another report (also published) for more details. It works properly from within ReportBuilder (2.0) using the report server and I can go to and from the secondary report as I expect. Its passing the correct parameters to the second report and its runs.
But when I use the reports from the SSRS web, the Go To link no longer works. Mouse hover shows its still a link but clicking goes no where. I can run both reports independently from SSRS and they still work. Â
I've tried this in IE and Chrome with no luck in either. I also poked around at Compatability view and popup blocker but nothing made any difference.
I need to know how can i incoporate the functionality of DECODE function like the one in ORACLE in mSSQL..
please if anyone can help me out...

Is Rand function cannot be used in the User Defined function?
Thanks.
I need to be able to pass the output of a function to another function as input, where all functions involved are user-defined in-line table-valued functions. I already posted this on Stack Exchange, so here is a link to the relevant code: [URL] ...
I am fairly certain OUTER APPLY is the core answer here; there's *clearly* some way in which does *not* do what I need, or I would not get the null output you see in the link, but it seems clear that there should be a way to fool it into working.
I am trying to code a WHERE xxxx IN ('aaa','bbb','ccc') requirement but it the return values for the IN keyword changes according to another column, thus the need for a CASE function.
WHERE GROUP.GROUP_ID = 2 AND DEPT.DEPT_ID = 'D' AND WORK_TYPE_ID IN ( CASE DEPT_ID WHEN 'D' THEN 'A','B','C' <---- ERROR WHEN 'F' THEN 'C','D ELSE 'A','B','C','D' END )
I kept on getting errors, like
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 44Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'WHERE'.
which leads me to assume that the CASE ... WHEN ... THEN statement does not allow mutiple values for result expression. Is there a way to get the SQL above to work or code the same logic in a different manner in just one simple SQL, and not a procedure or T-SQL script.
Can any1 tell me why i am getting an error

am trying to do the following in SSIS.
I have Execute Process Task, in which I have the values are set for Executable, Arguments and working Directory manually. I keep changing this if the Connection Manager points to Dev or when it points to QA or to Prod. Instead I want to do like this.
If my Connection Manager points to Dev, the Executale , Arguments and Working Directory should automatically change. Else if it points to QA, the Executale , Arguments and Working Directory should automatically change and similarly for Prod.
Is this possible in Expression Builder in Execute Process Task. If so, how?.
Thank you
I ran in to a strange problem in Report Builder. I drop a few fields from my Report Model on a simple talbe report. Some of them are straight forwards attributes and some of them are expressions.
Now in the table layout of a report I have say a attribute named as "Account Number". This attribute is actually a field from a table. I change the column header to a two line column header with €œAccount€? on one line and €œNumber€? on second line. No problem, piece of cake.
Now tried the same thing on an expression type attribute, say "Principal Balance". When I split the column header on two line I get this following error.
==============================================================
Semantic query compilation failed: e MeasureNotFound One of the SubtotalMeasures.MeasureName properties of the SemanticQuery refers to the Measure Expression 'Principal
Balance', which does not exist. (SemanticQuery '').
----------------------------
An error has occurred during report processing.
==============================================================
If you read the error you will realize that the query is trying to find an expression named "Principal" (newline char) "Balance" and it fails.
This expression is nothing but a sum aggregation on a field in the underlying table. If I put the "Principal Balance" back on one line report runs like a charm. Also note that exact same report in Designer no issues at all.
FYI: I am in SQL Server 2005 with SP2. (tried it both on Standard and Enterprise versions.)
Nobody answered my previous question. So, I am putting it this way.
How to write an IF condition in Expression builder. I want to do something like this.
IF (variable1='ABC' then
value = '.......'
else variable1 ='DEF' then
value = '.......'
else variable1='GHI' then
value = '.......'
END
Thank you.
Hi all of you,
When you're making expressions with your own variables and system variables and so on. How could I see the contents for each variable?
When you have an expression like this:
"Cargas de Hacienda. " + SUBSTRING( @[System:ackageName], 7,20) + " "
You can perfectly click above "Evaluated value" and see the resutl but I mean, individually over each variable on the variables listview is not possible.
Thanks for any input or advice,

Ok, I'm pretty knowledgable about T-SQL, but I've hit something that seems should work, but just doesn't...
I'm writing a stored procedure that needs to use the primary key fields of a table that is being passed to me so that I can generate what will most likely be a dynamically generated SQL statement and then execute it.
So the first thing I do, is I need to grab the primary key fields of the table. I'd rather not go down to the base system tables since we may (hopefully) upgrade this one SQL 2000 machine to 2005 fairly soon, so I poke around, and find sp_pkeys in the master table. Great. I pass in the table name, and sure enough, it comes back with a record set, 1 row per column. That's exactly what I need.
Umm... This is the part where I'm at a loss. The stored procedure outputs the resultset as a resultset (Not as an output param). Now I want to use that list in my stored procedure, thinking that if the base tables change, Microsoft will change the stored procedure accordingly, so even after a version upgrade my stuff SHOULD still work. But... How do I use the resultset from the stored procedure? You can't reference it like a table-valued function, nor can you 'capture' the resultset for use using the syntax like:
DECLARE @table table@table=EXEC sp_pkeys MyTable
That of course just returns you the RETURN_VALUE instead of the resultset it output. Ugh. Ok, so I finally decide to just bite the bullet, and I grab the code from sp_pkeys and make my own little function called fn_pkeys. Since I might also want to be able to 'force' the primary keys (Maybe the table doesn't really have one, but logically it does), I decide it'll pass back a comma-delimited varchar of columns that make up the primary key. Ok, I test it and it works great.
Now, I'm happily going along and building my routine, and realize, hey, I don't really want that in a comma-delimited varchar, I want to use it in one of my queries, and I have this nice little table-valued function I call split, that takes a comma-delimited varchar, and returns a table... So I preceed to try it out...
SELECT *FROM Split(fn_pkeys('MyTable'),DEFAULT)
Syntax Error. Ugh. Eventually, I even try:
SELECT *FROM Split(substring('abc,def',2,6),DEFAULT)
Syntax Error.
Hmm...What am I doing wrong here, or can't you use a scalar-valued function as a parameter into a table-valued function?
SELECT *FROM Split('bc,def',DEFAULT) works just fine.
So my questions are:
Is there any way to programmatically capture a resultset that is being output from a stored procedure for use in the stored procedure that called it?
Is there any way to pass a scalar-valued function as a parameter into a table-valued function?
Oh, this works as well as a work around, but I'm more interested in if there is a way without having to workaround:
DECLARE @tmp varchar(8000)
SET @tmp=(SELECT dbo.fn_pkeys('MyTable'))
SELECT *
FROM Split(@tmp,DEFAULT)
I can't figure this one out. I don't have enough knowledge of the string functions I guess.
I need to pull a value out of a variable I setup in a for each loop. The value is the filename/path of each source file being processed. Let's say the variable that has the source file path is called VAR1.
One sort of off topic thing I've noticed is when watch the variable in bebug mode and I look at the value of VAR1 it has double back slashes. Here's an example of the value of VAR1:
"\\L3KRZR6.na.xerox.net\C$\Documents and Settings\ca051731\Desktop\Project4\DPT_20070926.ver"
How come the back slashes have been doubled? And do I need to account for that when I start parsing the string value?
Anyway, I need to grab part of the filename from VAR1 and I need the value populated at the start of the for each loop container - ideally when I capture VAR1 in the for each container. I'll be using the string in drop table, create table and create index statements before the actual Data Flow task within the overall package
In the above example I need to grab the characters before the underscore and after the last \. So I'd need the string "DPT" captured in this example.
The actual string could be 1 to 3 characters long, even though this example has it as 3 long.
Underscores could exist anywhere in the actual UNC path once this package is moved to our actual system environments so I can't key off of the underscore.
Because I can't count on the string being a fixed lenght I can't just use a positional string function and grab specific text starting/ending at specific points.
Is there a way to use the various string functions in the expression builder to grab the text between the right most underscore and the right most back slashes or something like that? Ideally I'd like to setup a new expression based packed scope variable called VAR2 and build it using string functions applied to VAR1.
Hello,
I am attempting to create an expression for a package variable in a SQL Server Integration Services project, but the elipse button in the expression property for the variable does not appear (Visual Studio 2005). I've tried two different screen resolutions, no luck.
Why would the elipse not be there? Is there a keystroke I can use to open the exrpression builder?
Thank you for your help!

This works:
len ((DT_WSTR,2)DATEPART("mm", getdate()))==1 ? (DT_WSTR,1)0 + (DT_WSTR,1)DATEPART("mm", getdate()) : (DT_WSTR,4)DATEPART("mm", getdate())
This doesn't:
"dataware/"+ len ((DT_WSTR,2)DATEPART("mm", getdate()))==1 ? (DT_WSTR,1)0 + (DT_WSTR,1)DATEPART("mm", getdate()) : (DT_WSTR,4)DATEPART("mm", getdate())
I tried a couple of different things at this point, where am I missing the cast? Before len? Cast to what?
I would like to add additional string functions and other types of functions to the expression builder in SQL Server Integration Services. Right now the list of functions is relatively limited to such things as FINDSTRING, RIGHT, LEN, etc.
Is this possible?

Hi All
Yesterday Peso was gracious enough to help me with creating function/views/sp's
I took those examples and extended what had from excel into function in SQL
however I see myself repeating certain parts of the query and i'm wondering if there is a way to call a function (in part or in whole) from another function?
Here are excerpts two functions I have:
We'll call this function UserUsage()
------------------------------------
RETURN(
SELECT ut.LastName, ut.FirstName,
CEILING(Sum(hu.session_time)/ 60000) AS [Time Spent(MIN)],
Max(hu.time_stamp) AS [Last Log Date],
pct.Title, cat.topic_name
FROM ZSRIVENDEL.dbo.UserTable ut,
ZSRIVENDEL.dbo.history_usage hu,
ZSRIVENDEL.dbo.pc_CourseTitles pct,
ZSRIVENDEL.dbo.cam_topics cat
WHERE ut.student_id = hu.student_id
AND hu.course_id = pct.CourseID
AND hu.topic_id = cat.topic_id
AND ((ut.ClientID=@ClientID)
AND (pct.ClientID=@ClientID)
AND (ut.GroupID=3400)
AND (hu.time_stamp>= @StartDate
And hu.time_stamp< @EndDate)
AND (hu.session_time<21600000))
GROUP BY ut.LastName, ut.FirstName, pct.Title, cat.topic_name
)
and will call this function UserSummary():
-----------------------------------------
RETURN (
SELECTut.LastName, ut.FirstName,
CEILING(SUM(hu.Session_Time) / 60000.0) AS [Time Spent(MIN)]
FROM ZSRIVENDEL.dbo.UserTable AS ut
INNER JOIN ZSRIVENDEL.dbo.History_Usage AS hu
ON hu.Student_ID = ut.Student_ID
WHERE ut.ClientID = @ClientID
AND ut.GroupID = 3400
AND hu.Time_Stamp >= @StartDate
AND hu.Time_Stamp < @EndDate
AND hu.Session_Time < 21600000
GROUP BY ut.LastName, ut.FirstName
)
As you can see the first part of the both query are simlar. In particular the:
SELECTut.LastName, ut.FirstName,
CEILING(SUM(hu.Session_Time) / 60000.0) AS [Time Spent(MIN)]
and also the variables @StartDate and @EndDate.
In C# it would create a method and just call that method as well as the variables. However i'm not sure how to do that with sql functions. Could someone shed some light please?
Thank you!
