Hi,
I am newbie to reporting services and I need some help. Could any one please let me know how to replace Null value with 0 in the data section of the Matrix. I don't want blanks to be displayed on the report, I want those to be replaced with 0's.
Thanks for your time.
Hello,
I'm using the query wizard in VB.net to write a query for SQL CE. I want to replace null values with text. I expected the COALESCE function to do this but I get an error message saying its not a valid function. This is a sample.
Select COALESCE(table.Name,'No Name') as Name from table
Any help appreciated
Thanks
Hi,
Im having a couple of problems with SQL.
I have this query...
SELECT Band.Name, Member.Name
FROM Member
JOIN MemberOf ON Member.Mid = MemberOf.Mid
JOIN Band On MemberOf.Bid = Band.Bid
WHERE MemberOf.Instrument = 'keyboards';
which basically shows me the name of the bands who had keyboard players. I would like it to also display the names of the band who didnt have keyboard players, replacing the keyboard players name with "NULL".
so... my questions are :)
how do u get it to display the records that do not match the condition, and how do u get it to replace the keyboard players name with "NULL" when they do not match the condition.
PS. The three tables are
Band. Which has Bid as a primary key.
Member. Which has Mid as a primary key.
MemberOf. Which links these through its two foreign keys Mid and Bid.
Thanks for your help! (assuming someone does)
I have an SSIS package that imports data from an Excel file, replaces any value in Excel that reads "NULL" to "", then writes the data to a couple of databases.
What I have discovered today, is I have two columns of dates, an admit date and discharge date column, and what I need to do is anywhere I have a null value in the discharge date column, I have to replace it with the value in the admit date column.
I have searched around online and tried a few things using the Replace funtion in Derived columns but no dice so far.
I have an issue in a group for a Matrix report I have created. Currently if a field in a table has null values in it, the grouping does not show in the matrix. Is there a way to force a group to show if there are Null values? I figure there must be a property to toggle on/off that would take care of this but I cannot seem to find it.

How do I filter out Null values in a matrix table
one off my columns is picking up the Null values and I would like to filter this out.
Is there a simple way of doing this as filtering it out at the Dataset level is not the ideal solution for me.
thanks
What would be an equivalent expression for ISNULL(datafield, 0) for a table/matrix cell? I am using iif( Len().. to find out if there is something in the cell, and displaying zero in the cell if the length of cell item is 0, however am wondering if there is any better/elegant way of doing that?
I have a pivot transform that pivots a batch type. After the pivot, each batch type has its own row with null values for the other batch types that were pivoted. I want to group two fields and max() the remaining batch types so that the multiple rows are displayed on one row. I tried using the aggregate transform, but since the batch type field is a string, the max() function fails in the package. Is there another transform or can I use the aggragate transform another way so that the max() will work on a string?

Hi,I have some tables where I import data in, lots of field have gotten aNULL value which the application can not handle.Now can I replace each NULL value with '' in a columns with:update <tableset [<column>] = '' where [<column>] IS NULLBut because there are lots of columns this is pretty much work, alsothere are multiple tables.Is there an easy way to replace all NULL values in all columns in atable?Thanks in AdvanceBob
View 2 Replies View RelatedHere's one for the group:
I have a fixed-width flat file. Within some of the rows, I have embedded NULL characters. The inherit problem is that NULL characters are string terminators, so using a flat file source doesn't allow the capturing of these NULL characters or any characters after the first NULL character -- only the string up to the NULL character.
So, within SSIS, what would be the best way to replace NULL characters with a SPACE character? My file is fixed-width, and replacing with a space will allow me to keep the length the same. I am not opposed to running a script task against the file first (before using my flat file source), but would need some guidance as I'm not a .Net guru, by any means.
Unfortunately, going to the bank to have them correct this file has proved fruitless. We're going to have to deal with these characters on our side.
Thanks,

Hi i have 2 cols
col1 col2
A1 21
A2 22
A3 21
A4 23
I want to create a report such that i should see all values of col1 but in col2 i want to show only value of 21 and the remaining should be zero.
So basically all the other values except 21 should be zero in the report but should not be updated in the database.
So the report should look like
col1 col2
A1 21
A2 0
A3 21
A4 0
can you please tell me how to do that
Thanks

Hi, I have the following query.
sql = "select firstname AS Expr1, lastname AS Expr2, status AS Expr3 from person order by lastname"
Status is either 0,1,2 or 3
How can I use the query to create "a temp Alias" for the query, so that there is a "temp Alias" AS Expr4, AS Expr5, AS Expr6 and AS Expr7.
So if status = 0 then Expr4 = "true" else false
So if status = 1 then Expr5 = "true" else false
So if status = 2 then Expr6 = "true" else false
So if status = 3 then Expr7 = "true" else false
So when the reader reads Expr4 its either true or false.
Is this possible i a query?
I am trying to replace field values in SSIS. For exapmle, I have 'unkown' and 'N/A', and a few other values that mean the same thing, and I want to give all these fields the same value. I have not been able to find a tool in the toolbox to make this type of change. Is there one? And, if there is, do you know a link to a page explaining its use?
The closest I have come is the Derived column String Transformation:Replace. But, I have not been able to get this to do what I want. If you know of a good reference explaining this tool's use I'd appreciate it.
thanks much,

Hi all,
I have run into a problem that I am stuck on. I have 3 tables lets call them a,b, and c. What I want to do is left outer join a with b on a common value, then replace any null values in this result with a default value, and then left outer join table c on the previously joined table (on the columns that I just replaced certain values on).
please help!
Thanks
I have a field in a table that contains a different formula (varchar(1000)) for each record. It's along the lines of something like this, although each formula is different: ([ColumnA] - [ColumnB])/([ColumnC] - [ColumnD]). I plug that into a dynamic SQL statement so that it can get executed in a select statement.
Due to the variations of the formulas, checking for Divide by Zero, etc, we want to move this to a .NET method. We'd like to replace "ColumnA" and "ColumnB", etc., with the actual values so that we're passing something like (5-3)/(6-2). I haven't been able to figure out a way to do this without actually executing it. We don't want to pass the solution, but the equation filled with the actual values rather than the column names.
So I have the following column named String in a table:
<key>Children</key><integer>2</integer>
This of course can vary for the different records. What's the best way to replace the 2 with the contents of my variable with TSQL?
declare @children int
set @children = 4
I want to do something like this:
SELECT <key>Children</key><integer>@children</integer>
The matrix that i have contains null values and is creating empty rows. I tried grouping the row and then setting the visible property, but that just hides the entire rows. Is there an expression that i would need to ensure that only the null rows are not visible on the matrix?
Thanks for taking the time to read.

I have a DTSX package which reads values from a fixed-length text file using a data reader and writes some of the column values from the file to an Oracle table. We have used this DTSX several times without incident but recently the process started inserting NULL values for some of the columns when there was a valid value in the source file. If we extract some of the rows from the source file into a smaller file (i.e 10 rows which incorrectly returned NULLs) and run them through the same package they write the correct values to the table, but running the complete file again results in the NULL values error. As well, if we rerun the same file multiple times the incidence of NULL values varies slightly and does not always seem to impact the same rows. I tried outputting data to a log file to see if I can determine what happens and no error messages are returned but it seems to be the case that the NULL values occur after pulling in the data via a Data Reader. Has anyone seen anything like this before or does anyone have a suggestion on how to try and get some additional debugging information around this error?

Hi
can somebody explain me how I can assign a NULL value to a datetime type field in the script transformation editor in a data flow task.
In the script hereunder, Row.Datum1_IsNull is true, but still Row.OutputDatum1 will be assigned a value '0001-01-01' which generates an error (not a valid datetime). All alternatives known to me (CDate("") or Convert.ToDateTime("") or Convert.ToDateTime(System.DBNull.Value)) were not successful.
Leaving out the ELSE clause generates following error: Error: Year, Month, and Day parameters describe an un-representable DateTime.
If Not Row.Datum1_IsNull Then
Row.OutputDatum1 = Row.Datum1
Else
Row.OutputDatum1 = CDate(System.Convert.DBNull)
End If
Any help welcome.
Hi,
My query "select blah, blah, rank from tablewithscores" will return results that can legitimately hold nulls in the rank column. I want to order on the rank column, but those nulls should appear at the bottom of the list
e.g.
Rank Blah Blah
1 - -
2 - -
3 - -
NULL - -
NULL - -
At present the NULLs are at the top of the list, but I do not want my ranking in descending order. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hey everybody,
I am somewhat new to SRS. I am creatnig a report containing a Matrix. I did this because there are one or more columns included in the data set. I would like to add totals to both the rows and columns.
Here is data samples of the matrix:
Columns: C1, C2, C3...
Rows: R1, R2, R3, ...
There is a total making up the data section and looks like this (I will just use Valx for the value in the data section):
C1 C2 C3 ....
R1 Val1 Val2 Val3
R2 Val4 Val5 Val6
R3 Val7... ....
.
.
.
I would like to total each column and have a summary at the bottom (for the C1 this would contain Val1+Val4+Val7) and also like to have an extra column containing totals for each row (for the R1 this would contain Val1+Val2+Val3...).
Is there a way to do this? Am I missing something obvious?
Thank you for any help, it is very apprecaited.

Hi guys,
I have a matrix report, which has one row group and one column group. The value is a Count of some field coming from the dataset. So the difficulties that I'm having is that when I click on zero(i.e. 0) values from the main report, the detail report doesn't ran and it through an error message : The 'X' parameter is missing a value. When the value is positive(other than zero) then the detail report works fine.
Any idea on this?
Thank you!

Hi,
I have a matrix which looks as follows:
----- Actuals | Budget
ItemA 20 | 50
ItemB 45 | 30
ItemC 20 | 15
I would like to add a column with the difference between actuals and budget.
Actuals/budget is 1 group in the matrix being the dimensionname.
How can I calculate the difference (subtract actuals and budget), because if I just use the subtotal
function it adds both totals together and I need to have the difference
between them?
Please help...
Hello Friends,
I am generating a SSRS report in which I have created report using 3 matrix and each matrix is having three row groups and one column group. So in this report I am getting NULL values for few particular column groups. So i want to hide those null value. I have used expressions in the visibility option for that cell values and its hiding the values but its giving white spaces and the width o the matrix is not shrinking . Can anyone help me out in solving this issue?
The scenario is like this.
column group
A B C D E F G H
row group1 1 2 Null Null 7 8 10 12
row group2 2 3 null null 8 2 3 3
row group3 5 4 null null 9 3 3 3
So I want to hide these null valued cells. By using the visibility option its hiding it but for COLUMN C & D its giving blankspace and then values for other columns,its not shrinking the NULL cells.
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
I am using matrix to make a report. I have company name in the row group and user name in the details field. When I run the report I only see the company name once and each user of that company is displayed in a separate row. Then next company name and its users... I wanted to know if there is a way to display company name next to the user name? I know it can be done by using "table" but I can't use table because in this report there are other fields can only be done in a matrix. So, please let me know if there are any settings in matrix which I can use to display my company name next to each user of that company. Please ask me any thing if the question is not clear. Thanks a lot for the help.

Hello
I have two matrices. One contains sales data for the current year, the other prior year. Both matrices use different data sets
I'd like to compare the two - possibly by creating a third matrix that subtracts prior year from current year.
Any ideas? When I create a third matrix and substitute a formula like =sum(values, "Data source for matrix 1") - sum(values, "Data source for matrix 2"), the resultant matrix subtracts the grand total from the first matrix - not the individual "cell".
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks
Does anybody knows how to reference a value inside a group in a Matrix.
I know it should be possible to use a calculated field, but I can't find a way to calculate a simple percentage!
example: (The Orders Group have "Received" and "Accepted" columns and these are created Dynamically, and I want to add a calculated field (ie. "%Accepted") to the group.
Simple Formula
%Accepted = "Accepted" / "Received"
i.e.
%Accepted = 5/10 :. (50%)
Matrix Object ( creates columns dinamically)
---------------------------------
Orders "Group"
---------------------------------
Received Accepted %Accepted
10 5 ?
Any Help or Ideas are very much appreciated.
Thanks
I'm a real novice user and I we use SQL Server. I have a table called TableLog that has the 4 columns. The first column is repeated x number of times for each value in the second column. I'd like to see this information put into a matrix where I could tell if there are any missing intersections. In addition, I need to insert a WHERE clause that says "BETWEEN 20090000 AND 20100000" for the first and second columns.
Example data in the table:
ID1 ID2 MRSSI
100 200 63
100 300 63
200 100 63
200 300 63
300 100 63
Desired matrix: P = Pass and F = Fail
100 200 300
100 n/a P P
200 P n/a P
300 P F P
From the example data, there's no intersection for 300 and 200 so a F is displayed.

Hi,
I'm calculating matrix including totals in the database.
I would like to set a background color for all total cells.
For total cells with now dat in database I fail to put codiotional formating.
I use the following code:
=iif(Fields!Col1Desc.Value="Total", "#60759b", "Transparent")
For cells under "Total" columns that do not got any db value I got color "Transparent" and not "#60759b"
How do I recognize to which column or row a cell belong in a matrix even if it not a value that come from db but empty one?
for example, note the background color of the cell of Male, Total and 2006
I got that matrix:
Year
Gender
Employee Status
2006
2007
2008
Total
Male
Active
0

None Active

Hello everybody,
I'm trying to pass the values of a subreport matrix to my main report.
For example, I have a matrix subreport like this:
USA CANADA FRANCE GERMANY
Client1Sales $100 $200
Client2Sales $600 $50 $300
What I would like to do is to pass the USA Sales Amount of Client1 (e.g $100) to my main report.
Is there any way to do this?
Thanks in advance for your answers!
