Can You Use Lists To Display A Hierarchial (parent-child) Report?
Mar 30, 2008
Hello Folks:
I was wondering if it's possible to create a report using lists and not tables that uses hierarchial data structure. I know how this would be done if I were to use a table but I like to use lists because of the freedom of object placements within them. Below is the standard recursive(hierarchial) example query from the AdventureWorks database that you would use for a table with detail grouping.
Select C.FirstName + ' ' + C.LastName + ' - ' + E.Title As Name, E.EmployeeID, E.ManagerID From HumanResources.Employee As E Join Person.Contact As C On E.ContactID = C.ContactID Order By E.ManagerID
Does anyone know how I would use just lists without using tables? Thanks.
Given the sample data and query below, I would like to know if it is possible to have the outcome be a single row, with the ChildTypeId, c.StartDate, c.EndDate being contained in the parent row. So, the outcome I'm hoping for based on the data below for ParentId = 1 would be:
1 2015-01-01 2015-12-31 AA 2015-01-01 2015-03-31 BB 2016-01-01 2016-03-31 CC 2017-01-01 2017-03-31 DD 2017-01-01 2017-03-31
declare @parent table (Id int not null primary key, StartDate date, EndDate date) declare @child table (Id int not null primary key, ParentId int not null, ChildTypeId char(2) not null, StartDate date, EndDate date) insert @parent select 1, '1/1/2015', '12/31/2015' insert @child select 1, 1, 'AA', '1/1/2015', '3/31/2015'
I have a report which I have created 3 or 4 child reports from. If I make a change to the format of an object within the parent report (e.g. the colour of a text box) then the change appears on the child reports as I would expect.
The problem is that if I make a change to the properties of the report (e.g. the margins or the page size) then the change is NOT picked up in the child reports.
Does anybody have any solution to this annoying problem.
I want to create a report in SSRS against a cube in SSAS 2005.
I have a Sales fact table, a Products dimension which is related directly to the fact table, and a Categories dimension which is related to the fact through Products (referenced dimension).
Fact --> Products --> Categories
In the Categories dimension i have also implemented a parent-child hierarchy. Only leaf category members are joined to Products.
Is it possible to create a report, drilling down from parent categories to child categories to products?
I 've already implememted the categories parent-child report but when i add the Products dimension in the flattened rowset, the Products seem to be joined to non-leaf category members.
I want to create a report based on an AdventureWordsAS parent-child dimension.
I created a new report item. In the Data tab i created a new dataset using AnalysisServicesAS data source. I dragged and dropped into the designer [Organization].[Organizations] and [Measures].[Financial Reporting].[Amount] from the metadata pane.
How can i configure a table control in the Layout tab, to create a drilldown report? How do i set the Group On and Parent Group fields if i have only one attribute?
In my data warehouse, I have one level of Parent-Child hierarchy in DimEmployee table - Employee and Manager, linked to each other using a column, ParentEmployeeKey. This table also has historical data stored - a slowly changing dimension of Type 2. I also have a Fact table that gives me information related to Sales - FactSales. In this table, we have SalesAmount stored at Employee level, one Employee can have multiple Sales. Besides, FactSales is also related to DimDate table using DateKey.
I have a requirement wherein I need to make a PowerPivot report out of a PowerPivot data model, that is capable of getting filtered using a timeline, and displays SalesAmount for the Sales occurred in the date range selected on the timeline for a Manager as well as his subordinates in the same report, a Manager's SalesAmount should be an aggregated sum of Sales made by the Manager himself and the Sales made by his subordinates. When the selected date range in the timeline changes, the report must reflect this change.
The approach I tried was adding the ParentEmployeeKey column to FactSales in the data Warehouse, and then adding another roleplaying dimension 'DimManager' in my data model to connect to FactSales based on ParentEmployeeKey of fact with EmployeeKey of DimManager. The problem with this approach is this will only give me Manager related aggregations and I will have to create two separate reports for subordinates and managers.
The following table is a merged view of data from DimEmployee and FactSales. On report, I need to display either of the following:
declare @table table ( ParentID INT, ChildID INT, Value float ) INSERT INTO @table SELECT 1,1,1.2
[code]....
This case ParentID - Child 1 ,1 & 2,2 and 3,3 records are called as parent where as null , 1 is child whoose parent is 1 similarly null,2 records are child whoose parent is 2 , .....
Now my requirement is to display parent records with value ascending and display next child records to the corresponding parent and parent records are sorted ascending
I have a problem with a reporting services 2005 report. The data source is OLEDB for OLAP 9.
The report contains all the members of a parent child dimension. An example of the implementation is defined in the post following the forum msdn: Http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=138549&SiteID=1.
The report works fine in web. The problem is when the report is exported as Excel, the groups disappeared and the entire dimension is ragged down.
Normally toggled groups in reporting services are exported to Excel with the appearance '+' or '-' on the left side of the sheet. This feature is very useful to hide / show lines.
It seems that with the implementation specified in the msdn post above, It is not possible to export correctly the report in Excel.
So my questions are:
Has someone already encountered this problem? Are there solutions with a different implementation?
I am working on SQL server 2005 Reports. I have one report, one dataset is assigned to it, and one table which displays it. Now I come accros requirement that, the column value in the filter condition for the table is present in one textbox.
I can not use textbox i.e. reportItems in filter condition. Can someone suggest me how to use textbox value in filters?
I want to display parent/child records on report. I am not getting the proper solution.
The data is like this:
Sequence ItemCode IsParent
1 XYZ 0 'do not have child record
2 PQR 1 'have child records with sequence no 3
3 ASD 0
3 AFDGE 0
3 VDC 0
4 ASR 1 'have child records with sequence no 5 5 ASR 0
If IsParent = 1, that record has child records with sequence = parent sequenece + 1
I think u can understand the data I need to bind, and it is like:
XYZ
+ PQR
ASD
AFDGE
VDC
ASR
On + click we can do show/hide of child records.
I m not getting how to achive this in SQL server report. Can u give some hint?

1. to display all parent with ORDER BY ItemOrder (no need to sort by ItemDate) 2. display all child row right after their parent (ORDER BY ItemOrder if ItemDate are same, else ORDER BY ItemDate) 3. display all grand child row right after their parent (ORDER BY ItemOrder if ItemDate are same, else ORDER BY ItemDate)
I am in the process of creating a Report, and in this, i need ONLY the row groups (Parents and Child).I have a Parent group field called "Dept", and its corresponding field is MacID.I cannot create a child group or Column group (because that's not what i want).I am then inserting rows below MacID, and then i toggle the other rows to MacID and MacID to Dept.
I would like to display a couple of records horizontally via a table or list, but don't think this is possible. Am I right? The given recordset should only have two records and the formatting would be much better if they were displayed left to right rather than one on top of the other. Is this just not possible with SSRS? Thanks,
hi, i have two tables i want the identity value of the parent table to be inserted into the chile table here is my code,but i don't know why it isn't working ! protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { string connectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConnectionString"].ConnectionString; string pcontent = TextBox1.Text; string data = TextBox2.Text; addtopic(pcontent,connectionString); addfile(data, connectionString); } public void addtopic(string subject,string connstring) { using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(connstring)) { SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand("INSERT INTO parent" + "(content)" + "Values(@content)", connection); command.Parameters.Add("@content", SqlDbType.Text).Value = subject; connection.Open(); command.ExecuteNonQuery(); } } public void addchild(string name, string connstring) { using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(connstring)) {Guid id = Guid.NewGuid(); SqlCommand commandd = new SqlCommand("INSERT INTO child" + "(parentid,data,uniqueid)" + "Values(@@IDENTITY,@data,@uid)", connection); commandd.Parameters.Add("@data", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 50).Value = name; commandd.Parameters.Add("@uid", SqlDbType.UniqueIdentifier).Value = id;
I have a parent/child relationship in a relational database broken out like this: Table Name: categories[category_id] int (primary_key NOT NULL),[category_name] varchar(50),[parent_fk] int The parent references the category_id in the same table to create the parent/child relationships. I can get all the bottom level categories by doing this: select category_id, category, parent_fk from categories where category_id not in ( select parent_fk from categories) Each bottom-level category has a count attached to it. The problem I have is getting the counts rolled up for each parent of the bottom level. A parent could/will have multiple bottom-level categories (and counts). My sql is a little weak, could you help me out? I can utilize everying in SQL 2000 (stored proc, UDF, anything). Thanks!
I want to find all the child of a node in a tree . A child can have multiple parent i.e 2 can be place under multiple parent . The folling is the data:
This structure requires complicated queries (recursive call) to find out all the child of a root node, so I have added another field for the root id. Is this a good relational database design ? kindly suggest.
In our database we have a list of devices in a "Device" Table, eachhaving one or more IP's located in the "IP" Table linked through aforein key on the DeviceID Column.I would like to retrieve this information as SuchDeviceID IpAddress1 10.0.0.1, 10.0.0.2, 10.0.0.32 ...345etc.Is it possible to do that without using cursors? Through a query?
Hello all, I'm having a real hard time trying to figure this one out. I'm trying to create a sql query that selects both the parent name and it's children, but it's got to loop through all the record sets to populate a drop down as an end result.
I think I thought this out correctly: I have 2 tables
category relationship
tbl category cat_id //auto int cat_name // varchar
relationship r_id // auto int parent_id // int child_id // int
both the parent_id and child_id are associated with the cat_id in my category table I could have 1cars // this is parent 2 audi 3 bmw 4 chevy
Table data example
r_id parent_id child_id **************************** 1 1 15 2 1 16 3 1 17 4 2 55 5 2 56 etc... I want to select both the parent cat_name from category and also select the child cat_name where the parent_id = #
I can do it manaully like this select cat_name, cat_id, parent_id , child_id from category, relationships where child_id = cat_id and parent_id = 1
what is the best way to loop through all the parent ids to find child category? Could this be done in a stored procedure?
I am having problems creating a trigger in SQL Server? I have 2 tables (parent and child) with one to many relationship. When I save a record, one row gets inserted in the parent and one to many gets inserted in the child. The trigger is on the parent table and it is trying to select the number of new records just inserted in the child table that meets a certain criteria. Since the transaction hasn't been committed I can not select the number of records from the child. Does anyone know how to handle this? My manager insists this be done in a trigger. Thanks, James

Then I would like to be able to query against this view with something like this:
SELECT * FROM FamilyView Where Child2 = 'Peter'
I have no idea how to write the SQL for this View. Is it possible? Is this possible without using a cursor?
Below is my sample data of my table named "Groups"
Code: with Groups as ( select 1 as GroupId,'Oracle' as GroupName,0 as IdParentGroup union all select 2 as GroupId,'Microsoft' as GroupName,0 as IdParentGroup union all select 3 as GroupId,'IBM' as GroupName,0 as IdParentGroup union all select 4 as GroupId,'SunMicrosystem' as GroupName,1 as IdParentGroup union all select 5 as GroupId,'peoplesoft' as GroupName,1 as IdParentGroup union all select 6 as GroupId,'mysql' as GroupName,1 as IdParentGroup union all select 7 as GroupId,'Nokia' as GroupName,2 as IdParentGroup union all select 8 as GroupId,'EShop' as GroupName,2 as IdParentGroup union all select 9 as GroupId,'Meiosys' as GroupName,3 as IdParentGroup union all select 10 as GroupId,'UrbanCode' as GroupName,3 as IdParentGroup ) select * from groups;
Expected result:
Code: with ExpectedResult as ( select 'Oracle' as GroupName,'SunMicrosystem' as SubGroup union all select '' as GroupName,'peoplesoft' as SubGroup union all select '' as GroupName,'mysql' as SubGroup union all select 'Microsoft' as GroupName,'Nokia' as SubGroup union all select '' as GroupName,'EShop' as SubGroup union all select 'IBM' as GroupName,'Meiosys' as SubGroup union all select '' as GroupName,'UrbanCode' as SubGroup ) select * from ExpectedResult;
some sample query to how to achieve this parent-child has the same table.
I'm an entre level junior programmer. My question is kind of confusing but I'll try to put it as simple as I can.
First we have a main table called "job1". This table consists the order information. The file_id is the unique id and the primary key for this table. This table also pertains other information such as customer data (max limit 5), job data etc. This table is actively (non-stop) used throughout the day.
We have a non-interactive process which will take customers information from the main table and insert into the child table table "jobcust". Jobcust would have file_id, cust, cust_type. For example, if Job1 table had fiel_id=100 and cust1="Tom" and Cust2="David", now Jobcust will have two records file_id, cust1 and file_id,cust2. The main problem is the child table needs to be updated right away and our non-interactive process is good at doing that.. but it is causing a major DATA LATENCY. I would like to ask you all, if you know any better way of doing this without any process.. like in the back end with a trigger/procedure or something like that.
I am importing data from a paradox table and trying to clean it up. I have this query that finds all the child records that are not in the parent table.
Select MemberID FROM memtype AS a WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM members AS b WHERE a.MemberID IN (b.MemberID));
Now I'm trying to delete all those child records instead of just selecting them so I tried...
Delete MemberID FROM memtype AS a WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM members AS b WHERE a.MemberID IN (b.MemberID));
I have a parts table which has partid (GUID) column and parentpartId (GUID) column. Need to copy the records to the same table with new GUIDs for partids. How to do that? cursor or temp tables?
I have an application that has an existing query which returns org units (parent and child) from organization table with orderby on createddate + orgid combination.
Also I added another log table Organization_log with exact columns as Organization table and additional 'IS_DELETED' bool column.
WITH Org_TREE AS ( SELECT *, null as 'IS_DELETED', convert (varchar(4000), convert(varchar(30),CREATED_DT,126) + Org_Id) theorderby FROM Organization WHERE PARENT_Org_ID IS NULL and case_ID='43333'
[code]...
I need to modify the query:
1. To display the records both from the Organization table and Organization_Log table. 2. The orderby should be sorted on 'Organization Name' asc and it should follow the child order in alpha sort as well.
I am wondering if there is a way to insert one parent record with multi child records in one transaction? I am using dataset to update my database. I want to use transaction so if one record insert fails all the transctions rollback.
I think I might know the answer to this, but I wanted to see if any one has come up with a slick idea for enforcing this relationship. If I have two tables and one is dependent on the other (parent-child relationship), how can I enforce that every parent record has a corresponding child record? Here is a code example
USE tempdb
GO
CREATE TABLE dbo.Parent ( ParentId int NOT NULL )
ALTER TABLE dbo.Parent ADD CONSTRAINT PK_Parent PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (ParentId)
CREATE TABLE dbo.Child ( ParentId int NOT NULL ,ChildId int NOT NULL )
INSERT INTO dbo.Parent VALUES (1) INSERT INTO dbo.Child VALUES (1,1) INSERT INTO dbo.Parent VALUES (2) INSERT INTO dbo.Child VALUES (2,2) INSERT INTO dbo.Child VALUES (2,1) INSERT INTO dbo.Parent VALUES (3)
SELECT p.ParentId, 'I SHOULD HAVE A DEPENDENT RECORD' FROM dbo.Parent p LEFT JOIN dbo.Child c ON p.ParentId = c.ParentId WHERE c.ParentId IS NULL
ParentId 3 should have a child record associated with it. I am assuming that these are my choices:
1) code all inserts to the parent table along with a insert to the child table and wrap those in a transaction
2) place a trigger for insert on the parent table that ensures that the child table is populated after data for the parent.
Here is the gotcha, we will be using a middle-tier data access layer (nhibernate or dlink) so .NET application developers will be creating the data modifications at the transactional level. Also there might be several ongoing ETLs that populate this schema as well, so multiple points of entry and seperate code blocks. I don't want to hide business logic within triggers.
I assume that all our coders are competent and could enforce this properly via code, but I know that mistakes happen. Has any one come across this situation and have a solution for enforcing the integrity of the schema with constraints?
