Multi Value Values In Varchar Field, To Show Each Value Separately In A View
Jul 20, 2005
Hi there
Got a interesting problem (depends on a point of view.....).
Background :-
Agent (within Domino) is run daily basis which extracts data from
Domino Notes application to SQL Server 2000 database. Agent first
removes ALL contents and then appends ALL data.
Reporting Tool is SQL Reporting Services (very cool !!).
Problem :-
Within Domino Notes, it can have a field which is mult-value field
i.e. contain multi values
e.g.
(from Helpdesk application)
!HowTo!!Access Email;
!HowTo!!Access the Web;
etc..
Need to create a view, then use sql to create stored proc, to be used
as the dataset for report within SQL Reporting services.
!HowTo!!Access the Web; (2 row) WWL/SDR/04023/010 (
DocID)
I have a unique KEY within table called DocID. The report will have 8
separate datasets (i.e. using subreports), all linked back to Unique
Key. That's easy.
The dataset causing me hassle is the 1 above. How do u split out
values as separate rows ?
Name of field called --> "ImpFunctionsImpacted".
Also, notes expert, who's working on the agent, tell's me the data can
be split either as a comma or semi-colon.
I have a report that has 2 dropdowns, selecting from the first dropdown populates the second one. This works fine in the BI Studio.
When I deploy this report to the 'Report Manager' and make a selection from the first dropdown, the second dropdown loads (as expected). I tried to select from the second dropdown (which has only 1 item - which is correct), the dropdown does not appear correctly - as in, I can't see that item.
Since we can't attach anything here, below is the link to a screenshot of my issue: http://docs.google.com/View?docid=ddd6j2xn_52c5qd5
If you look closely at the screenshot from the link above, you'll see that there is a value in the second dropdown - it just won't show completely - as if the dropdown is not rendering correctly. I can view source on the page and see that the dropdown has a value.
What appears to be happening is the if only 1 item is in the second dropdown and that item is longer than the size of the dropdown, the dropdown won't render.
Here is my value for the second dropdown '012 Candy Gadler David Thapero'. This is the only value in the second dropdown. - You can try 35 chars or more in the dropdown to confirm.
Notes: + No special chars are in either dropdown + I am using IE 7 (Also had someone test this on IE 6 - same problem) + Using Visual Studio 2005 to build report - where this works fine
Work around: + If I add another item to the dropdown via a UNION query, I see the original value + the new item in the dropdown #2
I have a field defined as varchar(8) but this field should not contain any letters, needs to be only numbers. How can I validate the data if it contains only numbers? Any ideas?
I am putting a SELECT statement together where I need to evaluate a results field, to determine how the color indicator will show on a SSRS report. I am running into a problem when I try to filter out any non-numeric values from a varchar field, using a nested CASE statement.
For example, this results field may contain values of '<1', '>=1', '1', '100', '500', '5000', etc. For one type of test, I need a value of 500 or less to be shown as a green indicator in a report, and any value over that would be flagged as a red. Another test might only allow a value of 10 or less before being flagged with a red.
This is why I setup a CASE statement for an IndicatorValue that will pass over to the report to determine the indicator color. Using CASE statements for this is easier to work with, and less taxing on the report server, if done in SQL Server instead of nested SSRS expressions, especially since a variety of tests have different result values that would be flagged as green or red.
I have a separate nested CASE statement that will handle any of the values that contain ">" or "<", so I am using the following to filter those out, and then convert it to an int value, to determine what the indicator value should be. Here is the line of the script that is erring out"
case when (RESULT not like '%<%') or (RESULT not like '%>%') then CASE WHEN (CONVERT(int, RESULT) between 0 and 500) THEN '2' ELSE '0'
The message I am getting is: Conversion failed when converting the varchar value '<1' to data type int.
I thought a "not like" statement would not include those values for converting to an int, but that does not seem to be working correctly. I did also try moving the not to show as "not RESULT like", and that did not change the message.
How I can filter out non-numeric values before converting the rest of the varchar field (RESULT) to int, so that it is only converting actual numbers?
I have my stored procedure set to Territory_code IN (@Territory)
, now , how do i enter in more then one value. When i select the multi value check box, it gives me more spaces. But then doesnt recognize the values when i put in more then one. am i doing something wrong?
The first 10 rows would be the top ten values for a Measure and a Dimension that has 20 members. I can get it with the following MDX expresion:
SELECT TopCount(EXCEPT([Dim Category].[Dim Category].AllMembers,[Dim Category].[Dim Category].[All]),10,[Measures].[Value]) ON ROWS, [Measures].[Value] ON COLUMNS FROM [My Cube]
I have a table with a column that is currently a varchar(50), but I want to convert it into an int. When I try to just change the type in design mode I get an error that conversion cannot proceed. When I look at the field it appears some of the entries have special characters appended at the end, I see a box after the value.
How can I remove all speical characters and then convert that field to an int?
Also I tried the following query which did not work as well, same error about conversion.
SET numDeterminationLevelTypeId = parent.numDeterminationLevelTypeId,
numInherentRiskID = parent.numInherentRiskID,
numControlRiskID = parent.numControlRiskID,
numCombinedRiskID = parent.numCombinedRiskID,
numApproachTypeId = parent.numApproachTypeId,
bInherentRiskIsAffirmed = 0,
bControlRiskIsAffirmed = 0,
bCombinedRiskIsAffirmed = 0,
bApproachTypeIsAffirmed = 0,
bCommentsIsAffirmed = 0
FROM EngagementAuditAreas WITH(NOLOCK) ...
And what I need is to conditionalize the values of the "IsAffirmed" fields by looking at their corresponding "num" fields. Something like this (which doesn't work).
UPDATE EngagementAuditAreas
SET numDeterminationLevelTypeId = parent.numDeterminationLevelTypeId,
numInherentRiskID = parent.numInherentRiskID,
numControlRiskID = parent.numControlRiskID,
numCombinedRiskID = parent.numCombinedRiskID,
numApproachTypeId = parent.numApproachTypeId,
bInherentRiskIsAffirmed = (numInherentRiskID IS NULL),
bControlRiskIsAffirmed = (numControlRiskID IS NULL),
bCombinedRiskIsAffirmed = (numCombinedRiskID IS NULL),
bApproachTypeIsAffirmed = (numApproachTypeID IS NULL),
bCommentsIsAffirmed = (parent.txtComments IS NULL)
I am looking to create a constraint on a table that allows multiplenulls but all non-nulls must be unique.I found the following scripthttp://www.windowsitpro.com/Files/0.../Listing_01.txtthat works fine, but the following lineCREATE UNIQUE CLUSTERED INDEX idx1 ON v_multinulls(a)appears to use indexed views. I have run this on a version of SQLStandard edition and this line works fine. I was of the understandingthat you could only create indexed views on SQL Enterprise Edition?
A view I created won't show up in "views' in Object Explorer, but will only show up when I script for it (Select * from blah). It also won't go into the ODBC. why?
I have a sproc in my database that when editing in VS 2003 shows different results. The sproc code is: ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.VMUsage_GetRaw @VMBox nvarchar,@StartDate datetime,@EndDate datetime AS SET NOCOUNT ON SELECT *FROM VMRawUsageWHERE (ACCOUNT = @VMBox) AND (CONVERT(datetime, DATE + ' ' + TIME) > @StartDate) AND (CONVERT(datetime, DATE + ' ' + TIME) < @EndDate) When I open the SQL statement in the designer and run (and enter my parameters) I get a recordset returned, but when I just "Run Stored Procedure" and enter the same parameters I get no results. The same occurs when I run the sproc from my website (no results). Any ideas what is happening between the two?
Here I need to create a view by using following criteria, there is 3 tables which are Tbl.adminCategory, tbl_adminuser, tbl_outbox respectively. I am working on 2000SQL server
I am treing to create view as following but getting some error.
SELECT tbl_adminuser.adminUserName, tbl_AdminCategory.Name, COUNT(tbl_outbox.msgUserID), FROM tbl_adminuser INNER JOIN tbl_AdminCategory ON tbl_adminuser.adminUserID = tbl_AdminCategory.CatID INNER JOIN tbl_outbox ON tbl_AdminCategory.CatID = tbl_outbox.msgUserID AND tbl_outbox.msgUserID <> 0 GROUP BY tbl_outbox.msgUserID But I am getting error pls correct the view,

Is there a way in rs to have a textbox more than the first value when it is dragged on the rs form when creating a report? currently when I drag a text box on the rs form, it only shows the first record on a page/form. There are twenty records on the table where the first value came from. How can I make so that twenty text boxes representing twenty records appear on twenty different pages. In other words, I am trying to build a report with a non - tabular structure that can repeat on different pages.
I made a number of dimension and calculated member mods and notice that all now no base or calculated measures display values, they just show blanks in the browser and query window. To try to isolate, I've (1) removed every dimension and calculated member (2) verified there are no defaultmembers for dimensions (3) verified there are no dimension attributes set to IsAggregatable = False
(4) verified there are no deploy or script errors (5) fully processed every dm and fact (6) verified there are dim and claim records loaded with values in all appropriate columns
When I process the cube, it shows that rows are read, etc... All that looks normal. Just when I browse or query, all measures display as blanks or nulls.
What could cause this behavior? Any ideas on how to futher isolate? I can go to a backup but very concerned that this can happen with no error messages or warnings, so I want to find the cause.
-- populate declare @i int set @i = 1000 while @i > 0 begin insert into dbo.test1 select @i, '1.' + cast(@i as varchar(5)) set @i = @i - 1 end
insert into dbo.test2 select 1, '2.1' union all select 2, '2.2' go
-- create view create view dbo.vw_Test as select1 as QueryID, TestName fromdbo.Test1 union all select2 as QueryID, TestName fromdbo.Test2; go
-- this works as i want, only scans table dbo.Test2 select * fromdbo.vw_Test whereQueryId = 2
-- joining to a table triggers scan of both tables in view: declare @table table (QueryID int) insert into @table select 2;
selectvt.TestName fromdbo.vw_Test vt join@table t on vt.QueryID = t.QueryID
Using the showplan I can see why the optimizer ends up scanning all tables, but maybe there is a way to force it to use the QueryID param evaluation earlier in the filtering.
I have a report that I am building that consist of 4 multi-value selections from four different queries. When I choose "Select All" from all the drop downs and click on "View Reports", it blanks out all the selections from one of the drop downs.
Can someone please point me in the right direction on this problem. The report will run sometimes, but most of the time it will not.
I can't seem to find a sample code, either here or on the net - - so I'll go ahead and ask...
What I'm looking for is a sample of how to query a database, so that I can populate a listbox with the table names from a database - - and then, populate another listobx with the field names from the database, in order to build a user-driven sql statement builder....
either of the above (at least the field name part) - either a code sample, or a link, will be greatly appreciated) - -
I am editing a pre-existing view.This view is already bringing data from 40+ tables so I am to modify itwithout screwing with anything else that is already in there.I need to (left) join it with a new table that lists deposits and thedates they are due. What I need is to print, for each record in theview, the due date for the next deposit due and the total of allpayments that they will have made by the next due date.So this is how things are. I join the table and it obviously bringsmultiple records for each record (one for each matching one in the newtable). I need, instead, to be able to make out what due date I shouldprint (the first one that is GETDATE()?) and the total of deposits upto that date.Now, payments can be either dollar amounts or percentages of anotheramount in the view. So if it's an amount I add it, if it's a % Icalculate the amount and add it.Example:for group X of clients...Deposit 1 due on oct 1: $20Deposit 2 due on oct 15: $30Deposit 3 due on nov 15: $40Deposit 4 due on nov 30: $50for group Y of clients...Deposit 1 due on Oct 30: $200Deposit 2 due on Nov 30: $300Deposit 3 due on Dec 30: $400So when if I execute the view today (Nov 7th) each client from group Xshould have:Next Due Date: nov 15. Total: $90 (deposit 1 + deposit 2 + deposit 3)Group Y should have:Next Due Date: Nov 30, total: $500 (Deposit 1 + deposit 2)And so on.
I've designed a report and assigned it a datasource that binds with a SP with a parameter. In the XML code of the dataset I can see the input parameter has been recognised by the wizard. Then, I built a report with that Dataset as the source. Everything is fine till this time. Now through my aspx code I pass on the value of the parameter to the report. But the report doesn't show any values at all. The aspx code is like
Code Snippet Dim reportParameter As New ReportParameter("@UserID", Convert.ToInt32(TextBox1.Text), True) Dim test() As ReportParameter = {reportParameter} ReportViewer1.LocalReport.SetParameters(test)
Any ideas what I could be doing wrong? VS 2005 & SSRS 2005. TIA.
I know this is an easy one, but for some reason i keep gettin the wrong results. This displays something like this : Question_description Visit_Activity_Id SR_Name Vacation 5 Judy Smith Sick 2 Judy Smith Visit 1 Tom Mathews Training 3 Karen Williams

I have a multi value field into which I have placed several different values. I wish to compare a value that is entered by the user with the multi value field, to find if the value entered is there. I am assuming ( and also hoping) that I can use DLookUp to do this. At the moment I get all of the multi values returned by DlookUp and they are separated by commas and the value that I want to find is in there. However this is giving me an error because of the separating commas. How can I isolate/extract the value that I want so that I can make a comparison ? Is it something like MyFieldName.Value?
