Reporting Services :: Lookup Matching Fields In Rows Of Data
Jul 16, 2015
Our division has approximately 300 employees. We have an annual shift bid where seniority is calculated using Date of Hire. If 2 or more employees share the same Date of Hire then we fall back to Date of Application. Currently the SSRS report does a very simple query and shows all the employees in order of their Date of Hire. If they match then it sorts the matching Date of Hire entries alphabetically by the employee name. It then becomes the task of the scheduler to locatethe entries with the same Date of Hire and manually look up the employees' dates of applications then sort them accordingly and re-write the report.Â
Goal:
Convert the manual process into an automatic process by modifying the current SSRS report.
Data:
The dataset is "DivDir" which contains the following fields:Â "EmpName", "DofHire", &Â "AppDate".Â
EmpName   DofHire        AppDate
Adam ......  12/2/1996     11/15/1996
Bob ..... .... 1/16/1997Â Â Â Â Â Â 12/27/1996
Charlie ....... 1/16/1997Â Â Â Â Â Â 12/12/1996
Dan ......  ... 4/11/2001     3/22/2001
In the above example I want the SSRS report to list the employees in this order:Â Adam, Charlie, Bob, Dan.How do I do this programmatically using SSRS?
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 have an Excel file which contains some data. I want to load that into a SQL server Table. Here are my conditions :
1. If the table doesn't have any matching records from the Excel file, then my DFT should load the data from that Excel to the Dest Table.
2. If the table has even one or more matching records, then the DFT should not process at all, instead I should send an email to the business stating that there are some matching records and hence the package is not process...ed.
P.S. If i use Lookup, I have two matching and non-matching output. which will process the non matching records into the table and matching can be redirected to any flat/Excel file. But i don't want to do this. I just want to lookup the Sql Server table and excel.
It'll be good if there is an additional option in the Lookup "Fail component on matching records".
Say I want to lookup a value in another dataset, but there is a grouping that requires you to know what the values for each level is in order to get to the correct detail record.  Can you still use the lookup function with more than one field to compare against? So for example
Department \___SalesPerson     \___Measure
I want to be able to add a new row at the Measure level, but lookup each field from another dataset. In order to do that I will need the Department AND SalesPerson values to do the lookup, but I dont think the Lookup function will let us do that will.
I'm importing floor machine data from SQL7 into SQL2005 using SSIS. I import the SQL7 data into a SQL2005 master table and then attempt to match the import data with the data in a current table for either update or insert of new machines. The SQL2005 master table was imported from a SQL2000 database. When I run the first Lookup import, it does not recognize the PK matches between the SQL7 import and SQL2005 master and imports all the SQL7 as new machines. The first Lookup branches to a second lookup that checks for changes in the SQL2005 master. When I run the package a second time, the second Lookup treats all the records as updates when it gets to the second Lookup, but should treat these as found. Any suggestions as to why this process is not working properly would be appreciated. Is there a way I can embed a picture of the process from SSIS in this post? Thanks
I have a report I'm designing where, as a simple SQL report viewed only on a screen, it was irrelevant how wide it was. However, now I've been asked to duplicate this report in SSRS and to include the option to print it out.
Well, the problem is, as it stands - with 8pt font, even - it will require a sheet of paper about 24" wide to get all of a single row to print.
So, I'm trying to create a Tablix that will split the data into two sets of header/detail rows in the same Tablix. Any workable solution that doesn't involve writing an app in basic or C.
My stored procedure give me top 3 activities. My SSRS report design, I am able to display first activity when I select the Activity field from the Stored procedure, how to display 3 activities for each category.. Also I need a solution to sort the categories based on the requirement below.
I have 2 datasets, dataseta is a list of tickets and their relevant owner and databsetb is a list of owners and a days worked first against them.I have a table with a detail grouping on ticketid and a normal grouping on owner which works well... all straight forward to this point. In this table on the owner grouping level I also have a lookup to datasetb which pulls back the days worked per owner which works fine as well. But what I now need to do is total the days worked over all owners, which sounds simple but doesn't work. This is the expression on the days worked for each owner -
I have a table in which I have to use SSRS Sparklines. But the requirement is that, I have to lookup the Y axis values and Category groups from another dataset, using a unique identifier in both the datasets. Lets say DS1 is the parent dataset and DS2 has got the Y values and Category (12 months) for the Sparkline.I cannot use DS2 as Default dataset for the table, because it will result in writing lookup expressions for around 20-25 cells other than Sparkline cell.So I used the below expressions for Sparkline.
Value axis :Â =lookupset(Fields!RowID.Value,Fields!RowID.Value,Fields!Trend.Value,"DS2") Category axis :Â =lookupset(Fields!RowID.Value,Fields!RowID.Value,Fields!MonthName.Value,"DS2")
I used lookup set, because I believe we have to map a set of values to the Sparkline chart. Â But it throws me the below error. Is it possible to configure a Sparkline without Category axis? I asked because I can manage my chart if SParkline can plot the trend values alone, without a category axis also.
I have a report that should read values from 2 dataset by Currency:
Dataset1: Production Total Dataset2:Net Total
Ive tried to use Lookup(Fields!Currency_Type.Value, Fields!Currency_Type1.Value,Fields!Gross_Premium_Amount.Value, "DataSet2"), it returns only the first amount from dataset2
Ive tried Lookupset function also but it didnt SUM the retrieved values.
My report has two data sets that hold inventory from two different departments. Â Â
ds_DeptA and ds_DeptB
I have a table, that pulls the DeptB status of DeptA record and displays it. This returns empty when the lookup fails to make a match, which is fine. Â Typically means DeptB does not have the record yet. Â I need to count these empty (null) feilds and populate it in a Text box outside of the table. Â I just can't figure out the syntax with multiple datasets. I can't use the lookup expression as part of the count expression since the count expression is not contained in a table that has a dataset.Â
table: ds_DeptA fields: ID Name date_set_to_DeptB <<Expr>> =Lookup(Fields!ID.Value,Fields!DeptA_ID.Value,Fields!DeptB_Status.Value, "ds_DeptB")
I've generated a report using Reporting Services, and some of my fields are numeric with the value zero. On generating the report this is shown as 0.00 and not 0. Is this something that is easily fixed?
SELECT a.TestID, a.TestCode FROM TableA a WHERE UPPER(RTRIM(a.TestCode)) IN SELECT (SELECT UPPER(RTRIM(b.TestCode)) FROM TableB b)
Of course the above query is missing a few things but with ETL the where clause UPPER(RTRIM does not appear to be something that has an object or property that I can use in the Lookup.
Currently i am setting up a report. The data source comes from pre-defined custom datasets where i've pre-entered the parameters for both Month and Year.
I already have one table up and working, but now i need a new table below it with a % column for each month so it gives visibility for the trend in recent months. As the interactive parameters are already in place; when i try to create the table it comes through with the specific month that the parameters are set too, and change when the parameters are altered.Is there a way to ignore the parameters for this table; or get around it?
I am creating a report in SSRS and the data is obtained through a stored procedure. One of the parameters is Begin_Date. This is simply a date field. I need to have it on the Page Header section. However, when I placed it there and ran the report, I received the following error -
Error2[rsFieldInPageSectionExpression] The Value expression for the textbox ‘begindate’ refers to a field. Fields cannot be used in page headers or footers.
Is there a way around? I have never faced such a problem when I created reports in Crystal or ActiveReports. Please let me know whether I am missing anything.
I have the following store procedure which execute perfectly fine Under SSMS as it is :
-- Insert statements for procedure here SELECT APHIST.ReturnDate AS ATDATE ,API_HIST.[ActionPlanItemID] ,API_HIST.[ActionPlanID] ,PIT.[ProductItemID] ,PIT.ProductItemCode
[Code] ....
But then when I try to create a dataset using ReportBuilder and pointing to that StoreProcedure, I get the following error message box :
"Could not update a list of fields for the query. Verify that you can connect to the data source and that your query syntax is correct. An item with same key already been added" ...
I've got a report consisting of nested list items and a tablix inside the last list.
As seen below - the tablix seem to shift the  "Brand No:" textbox details to the right when it becomes bigger.  How do I prevent this? Is there some anchor property of the text boxes that link them to the tablix?
I have a problem formatting a field in Reporting Services (minutes to hours).
I have a field called duration which stores time in whole minutes only. I can format this into hours within mssql using the following:
cast(sn.duration/60 as varchar(5)) + ':' + RIGHT('0' + cast(sn.duration%60 as varchar(2)), 2)
But I need to have totals and average columns in my report, which means that the data must come through to RS in the minutes format so I can perform the calculations there.
I am not sure if this is possible or not, we have two datasets and each one has an additional calculated field which breaks the value JobBilledExVAT into three years.
So it reports for example how much we billed in May 2015, 2014 and 2013.
I have got the table to display this when reporting on one dataset by grouping by year
The datasets both look similar to thisÂ
SELECT  Practice.ibvSalesByJob.JobBilledExVAT  ,Practice.ibvSalesByJob.[Year] FROM  Practice.ibvSalesByJob  INNER JOIN Practice.idvJobType
[Code] ...
The calculated field isÂ
=Switch(Fields!Year.Value = Parameters!Year.Value ,"15", Fields!Year.Value = Parameters!Pre1Year.Value ,"14", Fields!Year.Value = Parameters!Pre2Year.Value ,"13") The field I am looking to add together is below =Sum(Fields!JobBilledExVAT.Value)
If I do the below on the dataset associated with the matrix it displays the sum for each year correctly, I would however like to add the Sum(Fields!JobBilledExVAT.Value) from a different dataset (ABS1M) for the relevant year.
However this adds 2015, 14 and 13 from ABS1M and doesn't add them individually if that makes sense? With the calculated field it only shows Year under the main dataset heading not 15, 14 and 13 separately.
I was think of using LOOKUP however I don't know how this would work as 15, 14 and 13 are not displayed under the dataset.
we need the list suppliers in a text box,if it were a parameter, we can do it by =join(parameters!Supplier_ID.Value,",")but if the Supplier Id is a field , join (Fields!Supplier_ID.Value,",") doesnt work!how to achieve this.
I am facing an issue that Data flow task failing after loading 29000 rows out of 2lakhs rows.
I am loading data from .csv file to OLE DB Destination.
This data flow task is placed inside For each loop container.
is this issue because of any performance issue in SSIS packages such as buffer size.
find the error below:
DFT Load Data from FlatFile:Error: The conditional operation failed. DFT Load Data from FlatFile:Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_INDUCEDTRANSFORMFAILUREONERROR.Â
The "DER Add Calc Columns" failed because error code 0xC0049063 occurred, and the error row disposition on "DER Add Calc Columns.Outputs[Derived Column Output].Columns[M_VALUE_NUM]" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component. There may be error messages posted before this with more information about the failure.

The identified component returned an error from the ProcessInput method. The error is specific to the component, but the error is fatal and will cause the Data Flow task to stop running. There may be error messages posted before this with more information about the failure.
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.
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.
I have dataset ready having sales rep ID  and other column like customer ID, company name, Email adress and transaction month as shown above how can i make a  row group by sales rep id and each tab (when we export report to excel)  I mean one tab for A sales repID , another tab for B...I did row group  parent group and group by sales repID but not working as expected.
I'm using a bullet chart in a SSRS report and I want to set the Maximum value in the Linear Scale properties to highest value of the following 4 fields. Is there any way to do this?? This will make all charts line up properly.
I need to fill the cell background color in the Matrix Table SSRSÂ report based on below requirement -
When For A resource 'Capacity' equals to 'WorkExcludingCapacityAndAvailbility' and Project Status equals to OPEN then GREEN When For A resource 'Capacity' equals to 'WorkExcludingCapacityAndAvailbility' and Project Status equals to PENDING then RED
Here is the below mock-up data -
Looking for solution based on above mockup data how I can compare different rows value by resource considering Project Status Column value in Matrix Table report to set the background color.
