I have three datasets that are currently displaying data in three side-by-side-by-side tables. This gives the appearance of one large table were all rows match up nicely. Now, I need to somehow calculate the sum of those rows values across and display that value as a calculated sum at the end of each row. How can I access the values of each column from those three different tables in order to be able to add them together for each detail row. Or is this just a dream? Thanks in advance....Using SQL Server 2005. The backend queries that create those datasets are MDX and trying to manipulate those to get one dataset back will be a pain. That's why, I am hoping that there is a front end solution to this.
A report I am currently working on is a payslip report. This report has multiple tables on the page, each linked to their own specific dataset. Eg I have Taxable Allowances table linked to a dataset that returns information relating to any taxable allowances for an employee, then Non-Taxable allowances, Deductions and so on...
Taxable allowance dataset example
SELECT TA.TaxableTrDesc, TA.TaxableTrText, TA.TaxableSubQty, TA.TaxableTrRate, TA.TaxableTrFact, TA.TaxableSubTtl FROM Employee E INNER JOIN TransCurrentMaster TCM ON E.EmployeeCode = TCM.EmployeeCode CROSS APPLY udfReportTaxableAllowances(E.EmployeeCode, TCM.PaySequence, ) TA WHERE E.EmployeeCode IN (@EmployeeCodeParameter) AND TCM.PaySequence IN (@PaySequenceParameter)
The report works fine when you select one employee. Currently when you try to select more than one employee, all the employee results are displayed in the tables, for example, Taxable Allowance table contains all taxable allowances records for all employees on the one page... I'm not sure how I can amend this report so that it is able to be run for multiple employee records... Any ideas, thoughts, feedback would be much appreciated..
We have a report that was created in SSRS 2008 R2 that has 3 tables with different datasets that share a common ID that I want to use to group them.
If we run the report passing only a single value for the grouped parameter then the report works perfectly. What we need is for this report to allow multiple values to be selected for this parameter and for the report to run as if the user had selected each value one at a time and run the report with page breaks in between. Currently, when we pass multiple selected values for the grouping parameter the report displays all values for table 1, then all values for table 2, then all values for table three as below:
Table 1:
Detail rows for Group Param Value 1 ... Detail rows for Group Param Value 2 ... Detail rows for Group Param Value 3 ... ....
Table 3:
Detail rows for Group Param Value 1 ... Detail rows for Group Param Value 2 ... Detail rows for Group Param Value 3 ...
But we want it to render like this:
Table 1: Detail rows for Group Param Value 1... Table 2: Detail rows for Group Param Value 1... Table 3: Detail rows for Group Param Value 1...
[code]....
The page breaks are needed so that when the report is exported to excel each individual report (by group param) will be on its own uniquely named tab.The report must export cleanly to excel and currently does for the single value passed.
Each column right now is a subreport so I can use the object as a parameter to the subreports dataset. Each column needs to have the object as a parameter.
Is there a way I can pass a field from the first dataset as a parameter for the next dataset without using subreports?
I have multiple different data regions on one report body. I need to be able to arrange the a few of the data regions so that they are grouped together and print together on same page. I've tried using a list around the data regions that I want to group together, but the list data region needs to have a data set specified and it only allows one to be specified. Has anyone tackled this before?
I am needing to take data from one data set that consists of a list of parts and their stock information. Then I am needing to show any transactions that the individual parts may have had during the time that user defined through the filters.
This requires me to have two data sets since I can't do a join between the stocking information and the transactions due to the fact that it is very possible that every part won't have a transaction for each month of each year. Doing a left join still filters down the data too much so thus the need for two data sets.
I have these parameters:
Vendor, Year, Month, Type of request
Vendor and Type of Request is handled through StockInfoDataset. I then need to update the table showing 0 or transaction amount from TransactionDataset filtered by the ItemNumber and WarehouseCode that is in StockInfoDataset. Since it seems List and Table only allow one dataset in them, I am at a loss as to how I would go about doing this.
Explaining this is quite difficult in a forum post, but hopefully someone would be able to shine some light on possibly avenues to follow here....thank you in advance.
My company is implementing a multilingual solution for our application, so naturally the reports must follow. Every report I create has 2 datasets. It seems to me that the first dataset translates appropriately based on the browser's language setting, but the second dataset disregards the locale and just displays things in en-US. I've even created a sample report that accesses the exact same columns from the exact same view and dataset1 returns the correct language, but dataset2 returns en-US.
The report's language is set to =iif( User!Language = "fr-CA", "fr-CA", "en-US"), but I've also tried just setting it to = User!Language or leaving it at Default just to see if that would work.
Has anyone come across this before and been able to find a work-around?
I have written many reports with multiple datasets but today I have something bizarre happening. I have three stored procedures (datasets) in this report. This is a rolling twelve month report that looks at three numbers (restraints, census, and percent of census) by month and year...pretty simple. The first data set is for the graph for all twelve months. The second and third data sets are broken out by MonthNum in matrix tables to show the first and then second six months in separate tables for displaying purposes...so that that they don't have to scroll far over to the right since I'm printing all the three values per month.
This should be no problem. What's happening is that when I refresh the report not all three datasets are displaying properly. Some times the data in the graph shows and some times it doesn't. Another odd thing is that in my matrix tables the restraint number and then percent values sometimes double or sometimes they are 0. What makes it even more strange is the census number is always there and is always accurate.
All the aggregates are calculated in the T-SQL stored procedure. So, all I'm doing in RS is displaying the values. It almost appears to be cycling through the datasets when I refresh the report. Other than the fact that the census value is always there.
I rebuilt the report with only the graph...no problem. Once I add another data set, every other time I refresh the report the graph has no data. I can't imagine what I'm missing as I've done this numerous times.
Is it possible to incorporate data from 2 datasets into a single chart? For example I have 1 set of data from 1 db which allows me to display datapoint "A" by week. I have a second dataset from another db which allows me to display datapoint "B" by week. I'd like to plot each of these separate datapoints on a single chart with the x axis being week and the y axis being a stacked bar chart incorporating both A and B values as individual data series. Further, assuming this is possible, is it then possible to have 1 series displayed as an area while the 2nd series is a column or line?
I have a report with two datasets, DS1 and DS2, which contain the same data fields, but with different values. Like so:
DS1 = sales salesperson sale_number amount John Smith 1 $100 John Smith 2 $105 Mary Jane 3 $98 John Smith 4 $275 Mary Jane 5 $92
DS2 = sales with price overrides salesperson sale_number amount John Smith 1 $100 Mary Jane 3 $98 Mary Jane 5 $92
Now what I want to do is see how the salespeople are doing. I can use either dataset and get great results independently:
Sales Results: Salesperson Number of Sales Total Amount John Smith 3 $480 Mary Jane 2 $190
or
Sales results with price overrides: Salesperson NumSales with Over Total Amount John Smith 1 $480 Mary Jane 2 $190
Now what I really want to do is a combo table like so: Salesperson NumSales with Over Number of Sales %Overrides John Smith 1 3 33.3% Mary Jane 2 2 100%
I can not figure out how to do this. If I create a table that has DS1 as its datasource, I need to access DS2 for a count. So I try this for the NumSales with Over:
= count((Fields!sale_number.Value,"DS2"))
This just repeates the total number of sales in DS2, which is 3, for each line; not separating them out by salesperson.
If I try something fancier such as:
=count((Fields!sale_number.Value,"DS2", (Fields!Salesperson.Value,"DS2") like =(Fields!Salesperson.Value))
The report won't even run.
I want to do something along those lines. Does anyone have any ideas how to do this? I've considered subqueries to use salesperson as a filter, but the datasets are so large that the reports end up taking forever to run. I've tried using iif, but it doesn't seem to like using a field from a second dataset. I even tried to use the embedded VB code box to write a function, but then I couldn't pass the full array from the secondary dataset to the function (I could pass it from DS1, but not DS2).
I know this is incredibly simple, but this noob can't figure it out. If anyone has any suggestions I would deeply appreciate it.
I am pretty new to reporting software and I was just wondering in reporting services 2005 when working with multiple datasets and data connection string in order to populate text boxes if the data is a number it is prefixed with SUM at the start of the expression and if it is text it is prefixed with FIRST even though it is just for one value.
I was wondering if this is normal or have I messed up somewhere?
I had a procedure which returns 5 result sets. Now i want to export 3 results sets in 1 excel sheet and the remaining 2 resultsets in another excel sheet. Can we do this in reporting services.
I know this has to be possible maybe I am just missing somthing.
I am creating a matrix report which will compare year by year quotes to orders The issue is quotes and orders each have their own dataset. I will be pivoting on JobType which is in both datasets and spelled the same. Is there a way to do this or will I have to figure out how to union the tables? If not possible why does it allow you to name the dataset in the expression?
hi! I've been using sql server for a while but until recently have kept things pretty simple. now I'm trying to expand my horizons by trying to tackle some more complex applications, and one I'm really struggling with is nested relations. I hope this is in the right forum; if it is not, please feel free to move it, thank you!
here is my problem: I'm desigining a simple "Downloads" page in asp.net, and I have two tables set up. One is Downloads and the other is DownloadCategories. here is a simplified layout of the tables:
Downloads: ID PK Title Description CatID FK
DownloadCategories ID PK Name Description ParentID FK
basically CatID in downloads is a foreign key to the ID in downloadcategories, and ParentID is a foreign key to the ID in the same table, downloadcategories. This is set up because I want to support an infinite number of categories, each being able to support their own subcategories, which can go deeper into more subcats, and so on...
the problem is that I can't seem to get them to fill into the dataset I've created in vs 2005's designer. I have a procedure SelectAll which retrieves all rows, and SelectMain which retrieves only the topmost categories (where ParentID=Null). If I fill the datatable with SelectMain, I don't get any of the child categories, and if I call SelectAll, I get just a single table with all the rows, but no relations.
I have defined a relation in the datatable that mirrors that of the database, but no matter what I try, I cannot get it to show the relationship in the datatable when I fill it. am I doing something wrong? this is kind of how I have it setup:
dataset with Downloads and Categories datatables, relations from Categories to Downloads, and from Categories to Categories. I have the two queries added to the table adapter, and I call the SelectAll query to fill it, but all it does is fill the table with rows; it doesn't create any relations.
I hope this explanation of my problem makes sense. as I said I'm still very new to this complex stuff, and I'm hoping to get my head around it soon, because I really need the functionality (not to mention the skills!) so if you can take a moment to go over what I've explained and point out where my flaw might be, I would really appreciate it!!
if you need any more information to help, please let me know and i'll get right back to you. thanks a bunch!
I want to use multiple datasets in a table and wants to do the full outer join on the two datasets in the same table. For example, my two datasets are:
I want to display a ssrs table like: Both the datasets are coming from different sources. So I cannot integrate them at sql query level.
My report has two data sets that hold inventory from two different departments.
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. Typically means DeptB does not have the record yet. I need to count these empty (null) feilds and populate it in a Text box outside of the table.
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.
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")
Hi! I have a general SQL CE v3.5 design question related to table/file layout. I have an system that has multiple tables that fall into categories of data access. The 3 categories of data access are:
1 is for configuration-related data. There is one application that will read/write to the data, and a second application that will read the data on startup.
1 is for high-performance temporal storage of data. The data objects are all the same type, but they are our own custom object and not just simple types.
1 is for logging where the data will be permanent - unless the configured size/recycling settings cause a resize or cleanup. There will be one application writing alot [potentially] of data depending on log settings, and another application searching/reading sections of data. When working with data and designing the layout, I like to approach things from a data-centric mindset, because this seems to result in a better performing system. That said, I am thinking about using 3 individual SDF files for the above data access scenarios - as opposed to a single SDF with multiple tables. I'm thinking this would provide better performance in SQL CE because the query engine will not have alot of different types of queries going against the same database file. For instance, the temporal storage is basically reading/writing/deleting various amounts of data. And, this is different from the logging, where the log can grow pretty large - definitely bigger than the default 128 MB. So, it seems logical to manage them separately.
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions from the SQL CE experts with regard to my approach. If there are any tips/tricks with respect to different data access scenarios - taking into account performance, type of data access, etc. - I would love to take a look at that.
I am trying to create a table that will list data for me. The problem that I have is that my data has been separated across multiple stored procedures. The way I want to display the items are as follows:
title1 title2 title3 title4 title5 title6 title7
item1 item2 item3a item4 item5 item6a item7
item3b item6b
item3c item6c
As you can see, items3 & 6 contain significantly more rows than the others. In order to prevent duplicating items1, 2, 4, 5, and 7, I had to split the statement up into 3 stored procedures; all three procedures take parameters, item 3 and 6 taking item1 as a parameter. How will I display data like that in a report? In the design view, I am only able to use 1 dataset, let alone link them up together.
If this cannot be done, is there a query that I can perform that will omit repeated items? Basically, it will look exactly like about. I thought it was the GROUP BY, but I was way off.
I have a requirement where in i have around 15 different flat files , filenames are fixed but folder path can be changed(i think i should use a variable for folder path). These 15 files data should go to their respective tables in the database.
Whether I need to create separate data flow task for each file or separate package? In addition to these, example : while importing product data into product table, if product ID already exists, we need to ignore it and upload only the new records.
I have just taken over the job of sorting out a rather poorly designed database. It looks like it was 'upsized' from an access database to the SQL server. The SQL server is the 2000 version.
Now I am trying to generate a report of what the students in the database are owing by referencing the Receipt table and then all the available payment methods and allocations. I was wondering if there was anyway to work out data being displayed twice (Let me demonstrate)
Note1: All the tables are linked by a key of ReceiptNo. From what I can see there is a table for every payment type and allocation but no link between the two other then the receipt number.
Using the query: SELECT T_Receipt.ReceiptNo, T_cheque.Amount AS Chq_Amount, T_credit.Amount AS Cre_Amount, StandingOrder.Amount AS Stn_Amount, T_BankTransfer.amount AS Bnk_Amount, T_cash.TotalAmount AS Cas_Amount, T_RentPayment.AmountPayed AS Ren_Paid, T_AdminPayment.AmountPaid AS Adm_Paid, T_InternetBilling.Total AS Int_Paid, T_Utilities.AmountPaid AS Util_Amount, T_InvoicePayment.amountPaid AS Inv_Paid, T_OtherPayments.paymentAmount AS Oth_Paid, T_parkingBill.paymentAmount AS Prk_Paid, T_TelephoneBills.TelephoneCredit AS Tel_Paid, T_DepositPayment.[Deposit payment] AS Dep_Amount, T_Receipt.cancelled AS Canceled, T_Receipt.RemittanceReceiptNo AS Rec_Ref, T_Receipt.Student FROM T_Receipt INNER JOIN T_DepositPayment ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_DepositPayment.receiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_RentPayment ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_RentPayment.RentPaymentNo LEFT OUTER JOIN StandingOrder ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = StandingOrder.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_TelephoneBills ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_TelephoneBills.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_parkingBill ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_parkingBill.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_OtherPayments ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_OtherPayments.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_InvoicePayment ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_InvoicePayment.receiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_cash ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_cash.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_AdminPayment ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_AdminPayment.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_BankTransfer ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_BankTransfer.receiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_Utilities ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_Utilities.receiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_credit ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_credit.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_cheque ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_cheque.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_InternetBilling ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_InternetBilling.ReceiptNo GROUP BY T_Receipt.Student, T_Receipt.ReceiptNo, T_cheque.Amount, T_credit.Amount, StandingOrder.Amount, T_BankTransfer.amount, T_cash.TotalAmount, T_AdminPayment.AmountPaid, T_InternetBilling.Total, T_Utilities.AmountPaid, T_InvoicePayment.amountPaid, T_OtherPayments.paymentAmount, T_parkingBill.paymentAmount, T_TelephoneBills.TelephoneCredit, T_Receipt.cancelled, T_Receipt.RemittanceReceiptNo, T_DepositPayment.[Deposit payment], T_RentPayment.AmountPayed, T_Receipt.Student HAVING (T_Receipt.Student LIKE N'06%')
Which gives a result of:
RecNo. 30429 Cheque 250 Deposit 250
30429 679.98 250
This is fine but when I do analysis on this it appears as though the student has paid two deposit payments. I was wondering with out querying each table independently from an application if there was a criteria to specify that I only get one deposit result. So as such say, give me all the payments but I only want one result from the other tables. I though about discrete but that wouldn't work here.
I have 7 source databases and one target database, all using the same structure. The structure is made of 10 tables, with foreign key constraints.
I need to merge the source databases into the target (which won't have any data before that process, but will already have the correct schema), and to keep the relationships between the records.
I know how to iterate over the source databases (with SMO foreach), but I'd like to know if someone can advise the best copy method for that context in SSIS ? (I don't want to keep the primary keys, but I need to keep the relationships...)
I have a couple of hundred flat files to import into database tables using SSIS.
The files can be divided into groups by the format they use. I understand that I could import each group of files that have a common format at the same time using a Foreach Loop Container.
However, the example for the Foreach Loop Container has multiple files all being imported into the same database table. In my case, each file needs to be imported into a different database table.
Is it possible to import each set of files with the same format into different tables in a simple loop? I can't see a way to make a Data Flow Destination item accept its table name dynamically, which seems to prevent me doing this.
I suppose I could make a different Data Flow Destination item for each file, in the Data Flow. Would that be a reasonable solution, or is there a simpler solution, or should I just resign myself to making a separate Data Flow for every single file?
Hello I am building a survey application. I have 8 questions. Textbox - Call reference Dropdownmenu - choose Support method Radio button lists - Customer satisfaction questions 1-5 Multiline textbox - other comments. I want to insert textbox, dropdown menu into a db table, then insert each question score into a score column with each question having an ID. I envisage to do this I will need an insert query for the textbox and dropdownlist and then an insert for each question based on ID and score. Please help me! Thanks Andrew
I need to be able to bulk insert a bunch of tables from their corresponding flat file. I have created an XML file (see below) which has the file name/table name pair at each node. I then created a ForEachLoop task and used the Node enumeration type and the following OuterXpathString: ReferenceFiles/File. At this point I get lost. How do I pass the 2 inside node values (file name and table name) to variables which I can then use as expressions for the bulk insert task inside the Foreach?
I used the data export wizard to export a single table to a single flat file (multiple wasn't allowed). I saved the package as a *.dtsx file which I'm attempting to edit to add the additional tables.
Creating additional sources is fairly easy copy of the first source and change to the table name.
I've tried copying the destination connection and changing to a new text file, but can't get past having to add each column manually to the new destination.
How can I duplicate the mapping that must be taking place in the wizard in the *.dtsx editing environment?
This seems like a simple / common task, but I've been unable to find a solution.
I am trying to query the Topics in my discussion forum...The Topic contains a "last_poster_id" and a "author_id" I need the username and userid for both "last_poster_id" and "author_id" in the table "aspnet_Users"How do I do this?I would guess I need to use sub select statements. Can someone help me?
Hi, I am trying to build search engin with 11 parameters in 4 different tables in the database. For example: In search.aspx I have 11 textboxes namely nameTextbox, phoneTextbox, nationalityTextbox, ageTextbox etc. And in the result.aspx page I have gridview which post data from the database if the search match. I wrote this stored procedure. P.S please ignore the syntax. @name var(30),
@nationality (30),
@phone int,
etc
as
Select a.UserId, b.UserId, c.UserId FROM Table1 a, Table2 b, Table3 c
WHERE
name LIKE '%' @name '%'
OR nationality LIKE '%' @nationality '%'
OR phone LIKE '%' @phone '%'
etc
But I got an error when I am trying to execute this code because the nulls values so I wrote 1 @name var(30), 2 3 @nationality (30), 4 5 @phone int, 6 7 etc 8 9 as 10 11 12 13 Select a.UserId, b.UserId, c.UserId FROM Table1 a, Table2 b, Table3 c 14 15 WHERE 16 17 name LIKE '%' ISNULL(@name, '') '%' 18 19 OR nationality LIKE '%' ISNULL(@nationality,'') '%' 20 21 OR phone LIKE '%' ISNULL(@phone,'') '%' 22 23 etc 24 25
Also the error still exist. What is the best way to search for multiple parameters in multiple tables ?
Hello, I am in the progress of designing a new section of my database and was thinking of creating a hole new database instead of just creating tables inside the database. My question is can you JOIN multiple tables in an SQL Statement from multiple databases. Ie, In the Management program I have a database called 'Convention' and another one called 'Services', inside the two databases there are many tables. Can I link say tblRegister from Convention to tblUser in Services? Thanks
