I am new to SQL. I added a calculated field to my dataset with and expression to calculate efficiency.
My expression is as follows: =Fields!EstTotLbrHrs.Value/Fields!ActTotLbrHrs.Value
In some cases my value for ActTotLbrHrs is 0, so it returns #Error
How do I return "N/A" for fields with ActTotLbrHrs = 0
One of my measures is in seconds and I would like to convert it to hours.
It is simply a number in decimal format
the expression I tried is this
[Measures].[OPEN DURATION] /60
and I ge this message
Error 1 Errors in the metadata manager. The measure expression of the OPEN DURATION measure contains the [(60)] operand , which could not be resolved. 0 0
All help is appreciated, thank you in advance. I have tried a couple different syntax's with no luck.

Hi,
How do i get the last word of a field in an expression?
Thanks
I have an coloumn in the report whose Expression defines a division and the numerator is from dataset1 and denominator is from another dataset2
I get an error when I try to do this. Its says that denominator is out of scope of the dataset1
I have an exisitng report that lists unit name, provider, runday, shift, patient. The report groups by unit name and there is a page break after each unit name. So in the current environment the report prints one page per unit that contains all of the providers, rundays, shifts, and patients for that unit name its grouping on. So the report would like like this when it prints:
Unit A
Provider 1 Runday 1 Shift 1
patient 1
patient 2
Provider 1 Runday 1 Shift 2
patient 1
patient 2
Provider 1 Runday 2 Shift 1
patient 1
patient 2
Provider 1 Runday 2 Shift 2
patient 1
patient 2
Provider 2 Runday 1 Shift 1
patient 1
patient 2
Provider 2 Runday 1 Shift 2
patient 1
patient 2
Provider 2 Runday 2 Shift 1
patient 1
patient 2
Provider 2 Runday 2 Shift 2
patient 1
patient 2
PAGE BREAK
Unit B............(repeat data from page 1)
PAGE BREAK
Unit C............(repeat data from page 1
The end user would like the ability to keep the report as is but would like to also be able to print the report as one page per each unit name, provider, runday and shift. so it would look like this
Unit A
Provider 1 Runday 1 Shift 1
patient 1
patient 2
PAGE BREAK
Unit A
Provider 1 Runday 1 Shift 2
patient 1
patient 2
PAGE BREAK
Unit A
Provider 1 Runday 2 Shift 1
patient 1
patient 2
So I created a boolean parameter with a prompt of Page break by Unit, Provider, Runday & Shift? My thought is if the users sets this to False, the report will group on just Unit Name (the first example). If the user sets this to True, the report will group on Unit Name, Provider, Runday & Shift.
I set the grouping expression for this data table as:
=iif(Parameters!Grouping.Value = "False", Fields!unit_Name.Value,(Fields!unit_Name.Value,Fields!Lname.Value,Fields!Rundays.ValueFields!Shift.Value))
Within the expression editor window it displays a syntax error and the report will not run.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!
Hello,
Below statement in tsql returns int value (0).
SELECT 5/10
How to force it to return decimal value (0.5)?
I tried following but it did not help me
1) SELECT Convert(numeric(7,2),5/10)
2) Declare @Var1 numeric(7,2)
SET @Var1 = SELECT Convert(numeric(7,2),5/10)
SELECT @Var1
Thanks.
Hi All,
I got a situation that need to write a expression for doing if the value is negtive then display () around this value, and this expression should apply to 30 fields in my report. so i just wonder is that any way that i can create this expression as global variable , then i can use this expression in each field, instead of i write IIF function in every field expression area.
Any helps are appreciated.
Cheers

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.

Here is a very basic question that I have.
I have two tables, A and B. Both have a customernumber and a batchid. This combination is unique in both tables.
How can I pull back the records from table A that do not have a corresponding combination in B?
I know I could find the ones that do match and then exclude them using an inner join and subquery, but is there a simpler way?
THANKS!
Hi
I am trying to write a query that will return a full record with a particular distinct field (the rest of the record being the first such record that includes the distinct field).
For example, for the following:
Fruit Like? Colour
Apple Y Green
Orange N Orange
Banana Y Yellow
Grape Y Green
Grapefruit N Yellow
I would want to return (assuming Colour was the distinct field):
Fruit Like? Colour
Apple Y Green
Orange N Orange
Banana Y Yellow
How do I do this? I've tried using a join (of all different kinds) with a subquery that uses SELECT DISTINCT but this doesn't seem to work. I've tried GROUP BY but none of the aggregate functions seem to just take the first found field.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Hello,
I m writing a stored procedure to query a table Population that has the following fields - CityId, CityName, Plus0, Plus10, Plus20, Plus30, Plus40, Plus50, Plus60, Plus70, Plus80. The field Plus0 contains the number of people of age > 0 living in the city, Plus10 contains the number of people of age > 10 living in the city and so on. Given the city id and age groups like 20To40, 50To60, 40Plus, etc., I should be able to query the number of people in the city corresponding to the requested age group. Note that if the requested age group was 20To60, I need to make use of only 2 fields Plus20 and Plus60 in the table to compute this value. And if the requested age group was 40Plus, then I need only the value in the field Plus40. The problem is that a wide variety of age groups can be requested like 0Plus, 10Plus, ... , 80Plus, 0To10, 0To20, 0To30, .... 70To80.
Which is the most effecient way to handle this ?
1. Have a stored procedure that returns all the fields even though only 1 or 2 of them would be actually used ?
In this case, if I returned data for a large number of cities then there would be a lot of unnecessary information that was returned by the query. Lots of data would be passed through the network though most of it would not be used.
2. Have a stored procedure that takes in parameters @Plus0, @Plus10, @Plus20, .. @Plus80 that are bits indicating whether the field was required or not and then using a CASE statement to return values for a field only if the corresponding bit parameter was set, and returning NULL if the corresponding bit paramter was not set ?
In this case, I would be returning NULL for all those fields that were not required for a particular age group. This would save some network bandwidth, wouldn't it ?
3. Pass in the age group itself (ex: 0To20) as a parameter to the stored procedure and have lots of IF statements, one for each age group, that return only the fields that are needed for that age group.
This leads to a lot of code repitition.
4. Use a similar approach as above but use dynamic SQL queries to avoid code repitition.
But using dynamic SQL queries can affect the performance of the stored procedure as they need to be compiled each time.
5. Any other possible approaches ??
Looking forward to your responses,
Thanks much,
bmgun.
I have three tables X,Y,Z. Table 'Y' is having foreign key constraints on tables 'X' and 'Z' (which happen to be primary key tables).
I would like to run a query in which I can retrieve rows from Table 'X' only if the matching rows in Table 'Y' have "ALL" their matching rows available in a simple query being run on Table "Z".
The "All" part is very important.
For more clarification, let me give you an example. Table "X" is equivalent to a mathematical "Equation" table which consists of an equation made up of several "Fields". These fields are stored in Table "Z". Table "Y" contains the primary keys from Tables "X" and "Z". i.e. Table "Y" determines what fields are required for an equation to be complete.
I am having a query "Q" on Table "Z" (Fields table) which returns me a bunch of Fields. Now, on the basis of these fields, I want to retrieve only those Equations (Table "X") which have "ALL" their required Fields present in the bunch retrieved by the Query "Q".
I hope I am clear enough.
Does anyone have any solutions???
I was curious...Is there a way to select distinct on a combination of some fields andthe for each record returned also get the other fields of anarbitrarily chosen record matching the fields in the distinct record.For example, if I have a select distinct on say three fields:SELECT DISTINCT Code1, Code2, Code3but the table also has other fields, maybe Foo1 and Foo2, and I wantFoo1 and Foo2 to also be displayed. Since there may be multiplerecords that match a particular Code1, Code2, Code3, then I just wantone of those to be arbitrarily chosen.

I need to associate aggregate gross_revenue with calendar year, but do not have a date field that reflects payment dates, just contract periods a start_date and an end_date. The contract periods are typically 1 or 2 years and can start at any time I.e start_date 6/1/2012, end date 5/31/13. I think by finding the number of days that fall in each calendar year and storing in a temp table, I can create a simple formula to associate revenue to each year.

How do I properly write a CASE statement for the following business logic:
I want three of the following fields to be true in order to return 'Y'.
For example:
If field name 'Accepted' = 1 AND field 'StepNo' = '1' and field 'Visit' = 'V1'
Otherwise, I want it to return 'N'.
I have tried the following code below and it is not working.
, CASE WHEN Accepted = '1' AND StepNo ='1' AND Visit ='V1'
THEN 'Y' ELSE 'N' END AS 'StatusQ (Col N)'
How do you Write an expression to Return the date value based on the most recent date only?
Eg. Date 10-7-2015, action - done, notes - all items fixed.
Date 4-5-2016, action - not yet done, notes - buying parts
All these dates are returned based on a search parameter based on a project number. I only want the most current date and associated fields displayed.

I have created 1 report with 2 datasets. This report is attached to the 1st dataset.For example,1st one is "Smallappliances", 2nd is "Largeappliances".
I created a tablix and, the 1st column extracts Total sales per Sales person between 2 dates from 1st dataset (Small appliances). I used running values expression and it works fine.
Now, I would like to add another column that extracts Total sales per sales person between 2 dates from 2nd dataset (Large appliances). I am aware that I need to use Lookup expression and it is giving me the single sales value rather than the total sales values. So, I wanted to use RunningValue expression within lookup table to get total sales for large appliances.
This is the lookup expression that I added for the 2nd column.
=Lookup(Fields!salesperson.Value,Fields!sales_person.Value,RunningValue(Fields!sales_amount.Value,
sum, " sales_person"),
"Largeappliances").
I get this error when I preview the report.An error occurred during local report processing.The definition of the report is invalid.An unexpected error occurred in report processing.

It's driving me crazy. I have tried everything but cannot get the desired results. I'm hoping someone can help me.

I know you can resolve "divide by zero" messages with a CASE statement.
However, the T-SQL docs suggest that I should be able to simply turn off both the error message and the effect of the error with
SET ARITHIGNORE ON
and
SET ARITHABORT OFF
I am trying to execute these two statements within a stored proc but I need their effect to reach to a select statment that is a sql string (as in 'EXECUTE (@SQLSTRING)' within the same stored proc.
Am I wrong to expect these statements to be able to deal with "divide by zeroes"?
I haven't been able to make it work so I would appreciate any pointers that someone might have.
Many thanks.
let say
1/2 = 0.5
anyone know how to set it become 0.5? by default the value will become 0,
