Is It Possible To Dynamically Create Columns In A Table In SSRS
Nov 19, 2007
Hi,
I have a sproc that returns somevalues and everything is working fine... and in my reports i am assigning the header data (in a detail column) based on the some feilds in the sproc... and there around 20 feilds that i want to show... but at a given time i am pretty sure that there wont be more than 10 fields that will have data.
So is it possible that show only the columns that have data in it and sometimes if there is less that 5 - 6 fields.. i want to realign the widths in those tables..
my report having 10 columns, i can explain my need with example that is, assume like this customer id is first column of my table customer id is 101 it having 3 departments a1,b1,c1,perticular department that is a1 having emp1,b1 having emp2,c1 having emp 3.
i want output like this when clicking + customer id driildwon it display 3 departments taht is a1,b1,c1, when +a1 drill down clicking i need to dispaly emp1, corresponding b1 to emp2 , c1 to emp 3.
above explanation is only one column of the table, like that iam also displaying this driiling procedure for remaining different columns.
and i need to display customer information by weekly,daily,monthly,yearly at bottom of the report
please give which logic used in creating format like above drilldown report which having multiple drilldowns for all columns in a table
if any body give procedure for creating fromat for drilldown report which having multiple drilldowns for all columns in a table is appriciate.
I have SSRS report that has around 80+ columns. I have requirement where in dynamically hideshow columns in report based on user selection. I could able to do it by setting expression for "Visiblity" property and having report parameter thro' which columns to display can be choosen.
My problem is 2 points
1. fox example if columns 2 and 4 to be hidden, then there is an empty column between 1 and 3 and 5 columns. How to avoid this
2. When i export to PDF / Excel these spaces prevail.
I have created some dynamic sql to check a temporary table that is created on the fly for any columns that do contain data. If they do the column name is added to a dynamic sql, if not they are excluded. This looks like:
If (select sum(Case when [Sat] is null then 0 else 1 end) from #TABLE) >= 1 begin set @OIL_BULK = @OIL_BULK + '[Sat]' +',' END However, I am currently running this on over 230 columns and large tables 1.3 mil rows and it is quite slow. How I can dynamically create a sql script that only selects the columns in the table where there is data in a speedier manner. Unfortunately it has to be on the fly because the temporary table is created on the fly.
I’ve got a situation where the columns in a table we’re grabbing from a source database keep changing as we need more information from that database. As new columns are added to the source table, I would like to dynamically look for those new columns and add them to our local database’s schema if new ones exist. We’re dropping and creating our target db table each time right now based on a pre-defined known schema, but what we really want is to drop and recreate it based on a dynamic schema, and then import all of the records from the source table to ours.It looks like a starting point might be EXEC sp_columns_rowset 'tablename' and then creating some kind of dynamic SQL statement based on that. However, I'm hoping someone might have a resource that already handles this that they might be able to steer me towards.Sincerely, Bryan Ax
I have N1 table where columns name(id,Field). Base on the fields of this table I want to create N2 table from SP where data from N1 will be columns in N2. id Field -- ------ 1 ID 2 First 3 Last
I am having SP which gives, two result sets. The columns which are coming from result sets are also dynamic. i.e. some time 5 columns and some time 10 columns.
Now I want to load this output into 2 different tables on daily basis. This would be truncate/delete table and load again.
Now my problem is that as I am not sure about columns, Is it possible to create table(Physical Table) depends on output of SP, and after load data into it.
During each load we can drop table, No issue and we can handle this through SSIS Package.
Hi, There is a table exists in a database, I have to write a stored procedure to create the same table in different database, with the same column name and field. This should be done in runtime. Is it possible. The table will be passed as a parameter to the stored procedure.
I'm programmatically able to import data between tables when the Destination table already exists but when Detination table has to be created on the fly (Name will be provided), I'm not successful in doing so.
Basically the requirement is to dump the resultset from the source in to a temp table so that the temp (Destination) table matches the Source's Schema exactly.
I have a range bar chart Inside a table of row group and the chart is repeatedly generate according to category ,i want to increase chart height dynamically based on category.
suppose for if category =A THEN CHART HEIGHT=10CM category =B THEN CHART HEIGHT=7CM
I am running a script by the end of the day. What I need is the rows in my temp table get saved in a permanent table.
The name of the table should end with the current date at the end.
Declare @tab varchar(100) set @tab = 'MPOG_Research..ACRC_427_' + CONVERT(CHAR(10), GETDATE(), 112 ) IF object_id(@tab ) IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE '@tab'; Select * INTO @tab from #acrc427;
I am having 100 of flat files need to load in respective staging table.I want to create table on run time as per filename input.suppose if input filename is ABC then table name should be Staging_ABC if file name is XYZ then it should be Staging_XYZ.Table structure is below need to create at run time
CREATE TABLE Staging_'Filename'( [COL001] [varchar](4000) NULL, [Id] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [LoadDate] [datetime] NOT NULL default getdate() )
I am using the following script to check existence of table in the Database and create it dynamically...
This is working when table not existed, it error-ed when the table existed...
This script i am using in the Exec Sql Task.....
[Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query "declare @ODSDB varchar(50) declare @SQLSTMT varcha..." failed with the following error: "There is already an object named 'addressTable' in the database.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
declare @ODSDB varchar(50) declare @SQLSTMT varchar(max) set @ODSDB = 'SampleDB' begin set @SQLSTMT = ' IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(''' + @ODSDB + '.dbo.addressTable'') and Type=''U'')
I am looking for a way to leave a Data Flow Task destination table name as-is, and have SSIS auto-create the table if it doesn't exist already.
I searched on this in the forums but based on the question it's difficult to kow if it has been answered or not.
Details:
I am writing some SSIS packages that need to be executable on another server. Many of the Data Flow Tasks copy data (such as from a Fuzzy Grouping transformation, and lots of other stuff) into a new table. But the other server will not have these tables set up for the first run.
My current solution is to check information_schema.tables and drop IF EXISTS. But, then the Data Flow Task will not work (becase table does not exist). So, I script to new window a create table statement based on the existing table that I use in my dev environment. This is a hack and I want to find a better method.
It is quite possible (although unlikely) that the source columns could be changed in the future, or some query used to pull the data might be modified. If this happens, then I would need to change the CREATE TABLE Execute SQL task. I want my package to accommodate without having to modify it.
When I use the Import/Export Wizard, I can select a table name from the drop down list OR type in a new name. When I type in the new name, it assumes I want to create the table. NOW, is there a way to mimic this in BI Developer Studio? Yep, I saved the Wizard version of the SSIS package and all it does is run a CREATE TABLE statement first.

I am looking to create a script that will go through a table a pick out the necessary columns to create a unique record. Some of the tables that I am working with have 200 plus columns and I am not sure if I would have to list every column name in the script or if they could be dynamically referenced. I am working with a SQL server that has little next to no documentation and everytime I type to mere some tables, I get too many rows back.
I've seen several posts that begin to address this problem, but havenot found a simple, elegant solution that will accomplish this goal.The important part of this solution is that it must be completelydynamic - I have over 40 different categories of devices, each withdifferent fields, and each search will return only one category. Ihave no knowledge of the number or datatype of these field namesbeforehand and must use the sp to dynamically create the table and thentranspose the data.Here is an exampleI have normalized data in this format (this is a simplification)deviceId fieldName fieldValue1 color red1 shape square1 weight(kg) 2.02 shape round2 weight(kg) 1.53 color blue3 shape oval3 weight(kg) 1.0I would like to convert this to the format: (note that it must handlenulls - deviceId 2)deviceId color shape weight(kg)1 red square 2.02 round 1.53 blue oval 1.0Anyone with any thoughts on how best to accomplish this?thanks,Matt
I have a report that displays data based on the last 12 months. Is there a way I can order the columns (header and data) based on the month it was run. eg. If I were to run the report in March, I want the columns to be ordered like this:
MAR, APR, MAY, JUN, JUL, AUG, SEP, OCT, NOV, DEC, JAN, FEB
If run the report in April, I want the columns to be ordered like this:
APR, MAY, JUN, JUL, AUG, SEP, OCT, NOV, DEC, JAN, FEB, MAR
So, the columns in the report are always ordered (12 months backward) based on the month it was run.
We are setting up a new reporting environment for our client and as part of the deliverable I need to achieve the following two things.
1. Most of our reports are snapshot reports and all the data needed gets populated into transaction DB tables from a batch program. Some of batches run monthly and others on request, we use a scheduling tool to run these batches. For monthly running batches since I know when they run, I have scheduled snapshot report for the respective dates. But the batch that run on request have no fixed schedule so my question : Is there a way I can invoke or kick off a particular SSRS snapshot Report as soon as the batch completes running. For example if a on-request batch program finishes running today at 6PM , I would like to create a snapshot report as soon as the batch finishes running. Is this achievable ?!
2. As I mentioned above most of the reports are snapshot reports and client wants Report history of 10yrs. We have about 170 reports on the whole which run monthly/daily/yearly. Is there a best practice known in maintaining all the reports and where to store them?
We are using MS SQL Server Reporting Services 2014.
I have to display three months name as column name in ssrs reports. These month column will be dynamically. So i have to display the column dynamically.
I have a requirement to display the count of project data by their status (On Hold, In Progress, Pre-concept and Closed) for the current FY and Last FY based on column 'Financial Year' and 'Project Status'.
Financial Year column has a value in the following format (FY2011-12, FY2012-13, FY2013-14,FY2014-15, FY2015-16,FY2019-20 ,FY2020-21,FY2021-22)
I need to set the financial year value dynamically in above format for the last and current year (FY2013-14, FY2014-15) based on today's date and Financial Year is from July to Jun. For example,
When today's date is 28-06-2015 then it should set the current FY as FY2014-15 and Last Financial Year as FY2013-14When today's date is 28-06-2021 then it should set current FY as FY2020-21 and Last Financial Year as FY2019-20
Hi! I am using VS 2003 (v 1.1) I need to generate tables with the values from the Backend (SQLServer 2000) database in C#.Net. How can i create the tables, tablerows, cells, etc. from the codebehind page of C#. I am having a very little knowledge about dynamic generation. Give me the complete code with can example (if possible)
I'm currently developing an RDF application which need to handle lots of datatypes. But I want to use SQL-Servers capabilities for efficient querying and sorting. Therefore, I've wanted to create a Main Table which stores a Reference to the Table where the Data is stored. The Data itself should get stored in a Datatype-specific Table.
The Typed Table might get created by something like:
public void CreateTypedLiterals(Type type) { String sql = String.Format( "CREATE TABLE [Literals_{1}] (" + "ID int DISTINCT NOT NULL, Value {1})",
// BUG: does not work // WARNING: introduces a potential sql-injection problem type.ToString() );
...
As you can see on the statements this solution makes many troubles. So I've wanted to implement it in a more fine way using a DataTable:
[SqlProcedure] public void CreateTypedLiterals(Type type) { DataTable TypedLiterals = new DataTable( String.Format("Literals_{0}", type.ToString())); TypedLiterals.Columns.Add( "ID", typeof(int), "DISTINCT NOT NULL"); TypedLiterals.Columns.Add("Value", type);
...
But I have totally no Idea how to fetch this result into the existing Database. It might be cool to simply access the Database as it would be a .NET Dataset in the form:
I am trying to dynamically create subtotals base on values in a column. I also have to group by year. I have gotten the group by year. I used the (previous function) to check for the year and col1 not being equal. I am getting the first subtotal back, don't know how to proceed in my function to return the remaining subtotals
I have a certain scenario and would like to know if it would be recommendable to try and realize it through RS.
I have a matrix of sales data (countries, regions, categories, total sales, Year-To-Date, changes, etc.) that need to be shown on charts. The charts themselves have a single format (bars). The out put needed is a relatively large number of charts (3000+) that would allow for a great number of comparisons (country to country, region to region, etc.). All these charts share a single layout. What would be varying greatly are the values and the labels attached to the elements on the chart (labels of the bars, title of the chart, legend, footnotes, etc.)
My plan is the follwoing: - create a .net module that would prepare the data for the chart. This would be done with two tables
- parent table with general information - child table with the the values for the bars and the labels - Create a parametrized report in RS that accepts the Id of a report from the parent table - Call this report for each and every report that can be found in the parent table
I would really appreciate any information of the feasabilitiy of this plan. I have worked a lot with Crystal before, but I don't have it anymore and will be using RS from now on. I haven't really started working with RS as of yet, but would need to know if this is "doable" with RS!
Hello all, I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to dynamically delete all of the values for a group of columns. What I mean by this is that lets say a table (TableA) has five fields (Field1, Field2, Field3, Field4, and Field5) with 100 rows of data. I want to delete all of the data in Field1, Field2, and Field4. I do not want to delete any of the data in Field3 and Field5. I would then end up with a table with 5 fields and 100 row, but only 2 fields (Field3 and Field5) have data.
The catch is that I can't hardcode the field names of the fields I want to clear out (Field1, Field2, and Field4) into the SQL. This is because if any new fields are eventually added to the table I want them to be cleared out as well without modifying the SQL.
I can hardcode the field names of the fields that I want to keep values for (Field3 and Field5) in the SQL.
If anyone has any idea how to do this, I would greatly appreciate it.
