Separate Dropdown List Selectedvalue Into Two Fields
Aug 1, 2006
i have two columns in a "release" table that i concatenate on my aspx page into one value for my dropdown list. for example, my database columns might look like
Major: 3 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 5
Minor: 1 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 1
and my drop down list text like
3.1 | 3.2 | 4.1 | 4.2 | 5.1
my question comes when trying to take the drop down list's selected value and splitting it back into two fields so that i can use it for another query. how can i split my "major" and "minor" version numbers back up so that i can run a query similar to:
SELECT * FROM [Version] WHERE (([Major] = @Major) AND ([Minor] = @Minor))
but only having the one parameter of: <asp:ControlParameter ControlID="ddlVersion" Name="Version" PropertyName="Text" Type="String" /> where the selected value has a string of "<major>.<minor>" (where the numbers are separated by a period)?
I have just started using SQL Server reporting services and am stuck with creating subreports.
I have a added a sub report to the main report. When I right click on the sub report, go to properties -> Parameters, and click on the dropdown for Parameter Value, I see all Sum and Count fields but not the data fields.
For example, In the dropdownlist for the Parameter value, I see Sum(Fields!TASK_ID.Value, "AppTest"), Count(Fields!TASK_NAME.Value, "CammpTest") but not Fields!TASK_NAME.Value, Fields!TASK_ID.Value which are the fields retrieved from the dataset assigned to the subreport.
When I manually change the parameter value to Fields!TASK_ID.Value, and try to preview the report, I get Error: Subreport could not be shown. I have no idea what the underlying issue is but am guessing that it's because the field - Fields!TASK_ID.Value is not in the dropdown but am trying to link the main report and sub report with this field.
Am I missing something here? Any help is appreciated.
So at the moment, I don't have a function by the name CONCATENATE. What I like to do is to list all those different values that go with a single CASE_ID to appear as a a comma separate list. You might have a better way of doing without even writing a function
I have a dropdownlist that is populated with an sqldatasource as follows:
SELECT [Project_ID], [Title] FROM [Projects] WHERE [Username] = @Username AND Hide ='false'
The Datavalue vield of the DDL is populated with the [Title].
When the user submits the form [including the value of the of the drop down list] i want to be able to add the Project ID and the Title Values into another database table.
For a controlParameter in the ASP code, how do I retreive the selectedValue of the drop down list?Would this work? <asp:controlParameter Name="InvoiceNumber" Type="String" ControlID="ddAdSize.Value" />
I am having the following issue with one of my reports using Reporting Services 2005. When you chose a value from dropdown list , the page reloads but the dropdown list does not keep the value selected. It always display the first item from the dropdown list.
I created a multivalue parameter in SSRS 2005 SP2, but the problem is that the width of the dropdown list is too small to fit my data (I'd like to avoid scrolling horizontally).
Hi,I have table (tbl_a) that get it values form three Dropdown List and the PK of this table is FK in different table(tbl_b).Since tbl_a get its values from three Dropdown List the number of rows in this table is limited to the number of combinations the three Dropdown List is offer (in any case the number of raws in that table will be final).Assuming tbl_a and tbl_b are both empty. The problem is that if i want to insert row to tbl_b i have to check first if there is a row that holds the values (or combination of values) i am getting from the Dropdown List in tbl_a .Then, if such row is exist i have to get the PK of that raw and insert it to tbl_b (as FK),if such row does not exist, i have to insert it and then get the PK of this row and insert it to tbl_b (as FK). In the end, tbl_a will have all the combination the three Dropdown List can offer so checking if raw exist in this table will not be necessary. In my opinion this is not effective way to do that.Can someone offer me better way to do it? Thanks
I have a dropdown list that is populated by two columns in a database.select (firstname+surname) AS Fullname from table where id = 'id'; It works fine but i want to know how i would get a space between the firstname and the surname because at the moment all the values come back as JoeBloggs....without any spaces

I am building a report with several search parameters; three of which are dropdown boxes each populated by a data set. I wanted something more user-friendly than the default "(Null)" in the dropdown, so for each data set, it returns a result set UNIONed with " N/A" to show up first as the default.
For some reason, when the report loads, the first dropdown populates just fine and does indeed have the default value " N/A" but the other two dropdowns are grayed-out. Until you change the first dropdown (to anything, apparently it doesn't matter what you change it to) the other two stay grayed-out. When the first is changed, the other two are populated and default to the desired " N/A" default value.
Why would it do this, when it didn't do it before; i.e. when the default for all of them was simply null. The dropdowns are not dependent on each other; they don't depend on other parameters for their values. Any help would be appreciated.
I have a web form that needs to be bilingual. It contains several dropdown lists. The "text" and "value" for each item in the dropdown list is retrieved from a database. The logic reads the database and then populates the various dropdowns with logic such as:
dim newItem as new ListItem(textString, valueString)
theDropDown.items.add(newItem)
The problem that I am having occurs when the textString needs to contains special characters such as accented vowels or an "n" with a tilde. I have tried populating the database with HTML-formatted strings such as "Avión", hoping that this would display "Avion" with an accute accent over the "o". Unfortunately it displays "Avión".
How do I get dynamically-created dropdowns to display special characters? If the answer is to simply store the special characters directly in the database, then the question becomes how do I get the special characters into the database? I tried to figure out how to write a T-SQL command such as
update tablex set SpanishName = 'Avion' where id=999
but I can't figure out the syntax to insert an accented 'o' into the string.
I am trying to populate a dropdownlist from a sql data source in my codebehind using c#. I thought I had the code correct but I keep getting the following error and I am stuck: "Only assignment, call, increment, decrement, and new object expressions can be used as a statement" Here is the code:protected void populateOppNameList(){ SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConnectionString"].ConnectionString);SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT empname FROM opportunity WHERE (username = " + userName + ")", conn); SqlDataAdapter adapter = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd); try { conn.Open();DataSet ds = new DataSet();DropDownList ddl_OppNames = (DropDownList)FormView1.FindControl("dropdownlist1"); ddl_OppNames.DataSource = ds; ddl_OppNames.DataBind;}catch (Exception e) { } finally {if (conn != null) { conn.Close(); } }
I have an issue with connecting Excel to an analysis Services 2005 database. The computer is running Windows XP Sp2 and Office XP. I installed the oledb driver 9.0 but when I tried to connect with the pivot table and I want to create the connection, the dropdown list of the data provider is empty. I tried on another computer with Excel XP and the system is working fine. Is there somebody that could help?
I am currently trying to develop an application which would help in retrieving data from cubes (Microsoft Analysis Services)! The user would not be accessing the Business Intelligence Studio, etc. but would be viewing the data from a custom made application developed in VB.Net2005.
While implementing this, I want to populate the drop-down-list in the VB(.Net) Form, by retrieving the various hierarchies in the dimensions of the cubes (along with dimensions if possible). This should be done dynamically and in real-time!
Can you please help in implementing this? Any code/method, etc would be highly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
Best wishes!

I believe somebody know the reason. Please help me on it!
I plan to pass a multivalued parameter from my web application to the server report, and let user select the value(s) from the value set. But when I run the report, there's no checkbox leftside of the values, that means user has no choice on this parameter.
Im trying to get query by selecting the month from dropdownlist and display the records .by using the below query I need to enter the date in tecxtboc then it will show the output
select Standard, Total, MonthName from (SELECT Standard, COUNT(Standard) AS Total, datename(month, ReportDate) as [MonthName] FROM CPTable where ReportDate >= @ReportDate
I know I can do a JOIN(parameter, "some seperator") and it will build me a list/string of all the values in the multiselect parameter.
However, I want to do the same thing with all the occurances of a field in my result set (each row being an occurance).
For example say I have a form that is being printed which will pull in all the medications a patient is currently listed as having perscriptions for. I want to return all those values (say 8) and display them on a single line (or wrap onto additional lines as needed).
Something like: List of current perscriptions: Allegra, Allegra-D, Clariton, Nasalcort, Sudafed, Zantac
How can I accomplish this?
I was playing with the list box, but that only lets me repeat on a new line, I couldn't find any way to get it to repeate side by side (repeat left to right instead of top to bottom). I played with the orientation options, but that really just lets me adjust how multiple columns are displayed as best I can tell.
Could a custom function of some sort be written to take all the values and spit them out one by one into a comma seperated string?
Our clients working with the Firefox browser on a Mac are unable to use the Multi-Value parameter drop down lists that the Report Viewer control generates. Of course I realize that the multi-select dropdown lists are not really dropdown option lists using the standard HTML select tag, but are rather tables within div tags with cells that contain spans, inputs, and labels.
Originally the report viewer displayed these lists in the wrong position within Firefox on any platform (Mac or PC). Furthermore, there were other visibility problems with those lists that made it virtually impossible to select a checkbox within the list. Fortunately, Microsoft fixed this problem with the latest version of Report Viewer, which we downloaded from the following link: http://207.46.19.190/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=cc96c246-61e5-4d9e-bb5f-416d75a1b9ef&displaylang=en
So currently we have SQL Reporting Services Report Viewer 9.0.21022.8 installed on our web server. And the dropdown lists do appear as expected, and they work properly in Firefox on a PC.
But, when the control is rendered in Firefox on a Mac, the list is not scrollable. The scroll bar that should appear on the right-hand side of the dropdown list, which would enable users to select values toward the bottom of the list, does not appear. That scrollbar is missing in Firefox.
This is likely related to a Firefox rendering issue with the overflow:auto style. There are numerous entries on the web that indicate Firefox for Mac has a problem with overflow:auto. For example: http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-96958.html http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread44144.html http://iamthewalr.us/blog/2007/04/20/firefox-on-the-mac/#comment-2321 http://www.errorforum.com/mozilla-firefox-error/3503-will-float-mac-firefox-scrollbars-floating-pop-up-windows.html https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?query_format=specific&order=relevance+desc&bug_status=__open__&id=187435
That being the case, it seems that there should be some workaround to address this, either via a style or through some alternate control. Or perhaps there is a property that we can apply to the ReportViewer control that I'm unaware of which addresses this.
If you know of a workaround, or can suggest an alternate approach that we could implement quickly, please respond. Thanks.
Hello All, I have an email subscription set up in Report Manager. Sometimes, when report execution fails, is there a way to sent the failure notification to a separate email list? Something like: on errror, send to abc@abc.com on success send to xyz@xyz.com?
My group is working on a project for school and neither of us have much experience with SQL or ASP. We are pretty much just writing an SQL query to get the data in a certain date range and using ASP to write the tables with the data in it.
Our problem is the SQL database has separate fields for date and time. There is nothing we can do about this because the VB.NET program that populates the tables automatically does this. We can't figure out how to do the BETWEEN statement when they are separate fields. We can do it for a date range and it works fine. An example of what we want to do is show the data from 11:00 am on 04/01/2008 until 4:00pm 04/03/2008.
Does anyone have any idea what we can do? I really want to learn this but it's frustrating because we can't seem to get much help at school.
I have a table which has fields called defid, datavalue, pid etc. I have to create a new table which should have fields: CustID, datavalue[SocSec]{note:this is the value in d.datavalue when defid is 1004), datavalue[FirstName]{note: this is the value in d.datavalue when defid is 1006}, datavalue[LastName]{note: this is the value in d.datavalue when defid is 1007}, [FullName] {note: this is the value I should get by joining the datavalues (lastname and firstname) when defifis 1006 and 1007) ie. ex: FirstNameLastName.
COULD ANYONE PLEASE HELP ME ON THIS. DATA QUERY is as follows: Thank you in advance.
SELECT DISTINCT c.CustID, d.datavalue, f.name FROM dbo.Customers c INNER JOIN dbo.Date7 d ON d.pid = c.root INNER JOIN dbo.fielddisc f ON f.defid = d.defid WHERE c.separatedate BETWEEN @StartDate AND @EndDate AND c.DateTab = 7 AND d.defid IN (1004, 1006, 1007, 1009) AND c.CustID = 10 AND c.root = 8472 ORDER BY c.root
I am using aloha POS and they have the date for every check in separate fields and now I want to calculate the total time for the checks but unable to get the how of it..
The date is DOB and it's datetime but I just need to extra the getdate() from it.The open time is OPENHOUR and OPENMINThe close time is CLOSEHOUR and CLOSEMIN
so basically the open time for the check will be the DATE FROM DOB + OPENHOUR + OPENMIN
And the close time will be DATE FROM DOB + CLOSEHOUR + CLOSEMIN
I've a DateTime field in a table and I want to separate it into two fields in an SQL Server 2005 view one for Date and the other for Time so What is the function I can use to do this process?

Hi! Need help with this one: I have a column with a string composed by several data. After using REPLACE several times, I get something like the data below, which has (in most of cases) a value and a date.
378 9/05
388 9/05
4/05
1/06 606
1/06 646
76 5/05
100 1/05
118 8/05
129 8/05
9/05 342
05/3 123
1/07
4/06 164 The problem is that I need to get each value alone (to separate columns), in example: Value Date 378 09/2005 388 09/2005 0 04/2005 ... 606 01/2006
and so on... In addittion you can see that sometimes the Value come first or alone, and sometimes the Date come first or alone.
I will appreciate any good ideas, Thanks in advance, Aldo.
Hello I have a table with inventory where each item has a field called location. What i would like to do is to get a summry with how many items there are in in each location. All the data is stored in one single table named article. inside this table i have Counter (PK), Artnr, location, type and some other things. 2 other importent columns are date and interval. Date is the last time the item was inspected and interval is an integer saying how many months untill the next inspection. So i guess Counter, location, date and interval, are the ones i need to use in my query to do the following. Wo what i would like to do is to present a short list with all locations and then a number that says how many items need inspection in 3 months or less (and even items that have apssed their date). Im somewhat new to sql so iv only been doing the regular insert, delete and update here and there but i have a feeling this query is a bit more complicated. The list does not need to say what items needs inspection. I only need to know how many. Could anyone help me out with constructing this query?
