Reporting Services :: Convert Value Into Double Or Decimal
Aug 12, 2012
Filtrate the value in the column by using filter function..I get error message due to decimal and double.How should I convert to value 55 into double or decimal? Today, I'm using SSRS 2012.
I am performing a series of calculations where accuracy is very important, so have a quick question about single vs double precision variables in SQL 2008.
I'm assuming that there is an easy way to cast a variable that is currently stored as a FLOAT as a DOUBLE prior to these calculations for reduced rounding errors, but I can't seem to find it.
I've tried CAST and CONVERT, but get errors when I try to convert to DOUBLE.
For example...
SELECT CAST(1.0/7.0 AS FLOAT) SELECT CONVERT(FLOAT, 1.0/7.0)
both give the same 6 decimal place approximation, and the 6 decimals make me think this is single precision.
But I get errors if I try to change the word FLOAT to DOUBLE in either one of those commands...
I have a Reporting Services implementation setup to run in Native mode. Reports on the server are being accessed through a Sharepoint website that has a Report Viewer control.
This is posing a problem because after the user logs into Sharepoint, they are again prompted to login to the report server. Is there a way to pass the users Sharepoint credentials to the report server to prevent this double login prompt?
We run std 2008 r2. On my col heading text boxes and data text boxes i'm purposely picking only borders above and left in an attempt to get rid of what looks like a double border between text boxes.
The only places I see what appears to be a single thickness is the left of the 1st column hdg and data, and above any col hdg text box I set this way.
Also, when I pick .5 instead of 1 pt thickness, ssrs always puts it back to 1 pt.
How can I get the appearance of single thickness borders instead double?
we have a value in a column with double space between characters like" abcd efgh", when I do the preview of the report I see the value as it is with double space; but when I deploy the report on to the reporting server, I just see only single space between the characters. whys is it eliminating one space when it is deployed on the reporting server? how can I get the same value with 2 spaces?
I have a SSRS report developed in Visual Studio 2013 and using SQL server 2012. It has a date control based on parameters which works correctly in the development environment. I can select by day AND I can move from date to date by clicking on the month name to be able to move by month or double clicking to be able to move by year.
When the report is deployed to Internet Explorer 11 or Firefox I can only, click back and forward by one day at a time and I can not double click the date control to move by month or double click to move by year. I can type the dates into the parameter box and get the correct result. I have set the compatibility view settings in IE for my server.
I have scoured the Microsoft forums and the internet to find out how I can generate the output of a CSV report that has double quotes around each value and is comma separated as follows:
"Abcd","123456","Efghi","789012","JKLMN"
If I try to concatenate double quotes around the values in the stored procedure or in the RDL, two double quotes appear around each value as follows.
I understand that this is because the default qualifier is double quote. What I see is that every time a double quote appears in a value (along with commas and line breaks), the qualifier will activate. Is there any way to turn this off for double quotes?
If I try to enter: <Qualifier>false</Qualifier>, the word "false" appears as the qualifier instead.
The only way I have found that produces a result similar to what I need ("Abcd","123456","Efghi","789012","JKLMN") is if I add a line break - chr(10) in the RDL in each field. However, this won't work for me because I can't have line breaks in each field in the output.
Note that in SSRS 2005, I was able to produce the report output as I state above by setting the field delimiter and qualifier as follows:
This essentially turned the field delimiter and qualifier off, as the values entered would never appear in the data. I then could add double quotes and commas in the RDL. This used to work in the old version but does not anymore.
I'm building an invoice report in visual studio for use with MS Dynamics CRM Online. The "quantity" field I reference from the database contains a decimal number with a precision of 2 (i.e - 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.00) due to how I charge my clients as they can purchase 0.25 hours of support for example.
The problem is that I also sell other items that don't require a decimal place in the quantity field and "1 x website design" would look a lot better than "1.00 x website design".
format the quantity field on my report so that it will remove the 0's and the decimal place ONLY when all the numbers after the decimal place are 0. So, to clarify:
1.00 should become 10.25 should stay as 0.250.50 should stay as 0.50 instead of it changing to 0.5 (I can live with 0.5 if 0.50 is a deal breaker.)
Version 2.2.32.7 1.0.0.0 2.0.0.0 1.2.0.0 2.1.8.8 1.4.11.0
I want to sort this field interactively.I have already sorted other fields, but as this field is text but has decimal data, its not sorting properly. How do I do this correctly? Once sorted ascending, report should show
Version 1.0.0.0 1.2.0.0 1.4.11.0 2.0.0.0 2.1.8.8 2.2.32.7
I have a decimal data type column with a record in the following format 20150219 --> yyyyMMdd. And I am trying to convert the return value from SSRS date/time parameter to a decimal value.
The TMDTOP column is the decimal data type with date records in yyyyMMdd format.
I'm trying to change the background color in a field based on its number value being greater than another number value in an adjacent field. The issue I am having is the format, it's like a software version string or IP address (in this case, it is A/V Signature Versions) where the length of the numbers between the decimal places can be different, and that seems to throw off the comparison.
For example (these are actual values I am comparing);
1.201.1054.0 should evaluate as greater than 1.201.2.0 but when compared, evaluates as FALSE.
I have been trying for a while now to convert seconds which are obtainted from the database into the format mm:ss.
Typically in Excel, I convert my time in integer values divided by 86400 (24/60/60) and then format the cell to "mm:ss" and everything is fine. Now, I am have been trying to reproduce that same logic using Reporting Services (2000) without any success.
I saw on previous post that you can use the format property in RS but if I put in the code "mm:ss" I get the value in text "mm:ss" (i.e.: not the numbers converted).
I am writing a report that Queries a SQL DB using 'SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio'. I have a field in the DB called duration and it is in milliseconds. I am trying to find an easy way to convert the format from Milliseconds to HH:MM:SS.Nearest I can get is the following for the field:
The output is in HH:MM. One issue with this is if the MM is say :03, it prints as :3. I lose the leading 0 so 9:03 (9hrs and 3 minutes) prints as 9:3. Where as 9:30 (9 hrs and 30 minutes) prints as 9:30 as it should.
I design a report have financial fields for the employees salary. now i need to convert the salary amount from numbers to words in English and in Arabic.
I was trying to export a report which contains a number format. When I do that, all the numbers in excel will have a green small tag beside it saying "Convert from Number to Text".
Is there anyway that I can change the format to a number when I export it to excel?
I have a money field in SQL that when i try and get the sum of it i cannot convert it to decimal. This was working now its not, and nothing was changed.Any reason for the error?
