I'm stuck with a problem in SSRS 2012 that maybe is very simple:
I have a matrix with a group row (employee) and a group column (last 12 months); the values are COUNT(practicesDone) - i.e. the amount of practices worked.
I want the matrix to show an extra column on the right (after all the columns of the months, and clearly outside the column group) with again the number of practices for the current month.
Is it possible to achieve that?
thank you in advance!
You can do this, it's pretty simple.
I have assumed that your dataset contains a column that has a date for each entry and that the data returned only covers 12 months so the same month would not appear for different years. If your data does have multiple years, look at the second expression below.
Right-click your month column and then to "Insert Column --> Outside Group - Right"
Now set the expression for the text box to
=COUNT(IIF(MONTH(Fields!myDateColumn.Value) = MONTH(TODAY()), 1, Nothing))
You could swap COUNT for SUM and it should do the same thing but either will work.
All we are doing here is comparing the all data in scope which, due to the placement of the text box means the scope is the entire rowgroup. Then for all that data, check if the month matches the current month, if it does set it to 1 is not set it to nothing then count/sum all results. Count conveniently ignores 'nothing'.
If you data covers more than 12 months then you can still do this but you'll have to add a bit more to handle years and months like this.
=COUNT(
IIF(
MONTH(Fields!myDateColumn.Value) = MONTH(TODAY())
AND YEAR(Fields!myDateColumn.Value) = YEAR(TODAY()),
1,
Nothing
)
)
I want to know if when setting the visibility on as subreport to false, does the subreport still compile but is just hidden or does it suppress the report and keep it from running? I'd like to have two versions of the same subreport and depending on variables in the main report, one of the two subreports would display. But I don't want both compiling and running as that will cause some performance issues.
This is more of a question on how SSRS Report Builder operates.
The last time investigated this was many years ago but as SSRS has not been developed much over the years I expect the same thing happens now.
The subreport is processed, at least the datasets are processed which can obviously lead to a lot of unnecessary processing time.
I had a situation where I wanted to display different charts in several scenarios. The way we built it was to pass the 'hidden' parameter to the subreport, which in turn passed the parameter to each of the subreport's datasets.
The dataset query would then look something like this.
IF #hidden = 0
BEGIN
SELECT ColumA, ColumnB, AmountC FROM myTable WHERE Product = #Product
END
ELSE
BEGIN
SELECT ColumA = CAST(NULL as varchar(10)), ColumnB = CAST(NULL as varchar(10)), AmountC = CAST(NULL as Decimal(14,6))
END
This way, the least amount of processing is done but the dataset always returns the same structure.
I need to create a SSRS report to present actual start date vs. planned start dates for milestones of a project (selected as input parameter)
The chart should look like this:
I have created the table in a separate table. However, I don’t know which chart type should I use and how do I have to set up the chart? (Chart Data, Category Groups and Series Groups).
(Data comes from SQL Server, SSRS Version 14.0.1016.285; SSDT 15.6.4)
Many Thanks in advance
This might look a bit long winded but it's fairly simple so stick with it :)
To start with I did not know your data structure so I've just made some assumptions. You may have to rework some of this to get it to fit but I've tried to keep it simple.
The approach will be to use a subreport to plot the dots and a main report to show the overall table. With this in mind, as we will have more than one dataset referencing our data I added some tables to my sample database before I started wit the following.
The first is a simple table containing months and years, you could a use view over a date table if you have one but this will do for now.
CREATE TABLE prjYearMonth (Year int, Month int)
INSERT INTO prjYearMonth VALUES
(2018, 8),
(2018, 9),
(2018, 10),
(2018, 11),
(2018, 12),
(2019, 1),
(2019, 2)
Next is the project milestone table
CREATE TABLE prjMileStones (msID int, msLabel varchar(50), msPlannedStart date, msActualStart date)
INSERT INTO prjMileStones VALUES
(1, 'Milestone 1', '2018-10-30', '2018-12-13'),
(2, 'Milestone 2', '2018-11-12', '2018-12-10'),
(3, 'Milestone 3', '2018-10-21', '2018-12-25'),
(4, 'Milestone 4', '2018-10-18', '2018-11-28'),
(5, 'Milestone 6', '2019-01-08', '2019-01-29')
OK, Now let's start the report...
Create a new empty report then add a dataset with the following query
SELECT
*
FROM prjYearMonth d
LEFT JOIN prjMileStones t on (d.Year = YEAR(t.msPlannedStart) AND d.Month = Month(t.msPlannedStart))
or (d.Year = YEAR(t.msActualStart) AND d.Month = Month(t.msActualStart))
Now add a matrix item to the report. Add a Row Group that groups on msLabel.
Next add two Column Groups. First a group that groups on Month and then add a parent group that groups on Year.
Add columns on the row group so that you end up with 4 columns msID; msLabel; msPlannedStart; msActualStart.
Finally (for now) set the Expression of the Month field (the one in the column header) to be
= Format(DATESERIAL(2017, Fields!Month.Value, 1), "MMM")
This will just give us the month name rather than the number (the 2017 is irrelevant, any year will do). Now just format as required.
You report design should look something like this..
If we run the report now we will get this..
Now to plot the dots...
For this we will create a small subreport. The subreport will accept 3 parameters. Year, Month, msID (the milestone ID from your main table). We will need the data in a slightly different structure for this sub report but the work can be done in the dataset query so nothing new is required in the database itself.
So, create a new report, let's call it _subMonthChart.
Next add a dataset with the following query..
DECLARE #t TABLE(msID int, msLabel varchar(50), PlannedOrActual varchar(1), msStartDate date)
INSERT INTO #t
SELECT msId, mslabel, 'P', msPlannedStart FROM prjMileStones
UNION ALL
SELECT msId, mslabel, 'A', msActualStart FROM prjMileStones
SELECT
1 AS Y, Day(msStartDate) as Day, PlannedOrActual
FROM prjYearMonth d
LEFT JOIN #t t on (d.Year = YEAR(t.msStartDate) AND d.Month = Month(t.msStartDate))
WHERE [Year] = #Year and [Month] = #Month and msID = #msID
Your report should now have 3 parameters that were automatically created, edit all three to Allow Nulls.
Note: The Y in the dataset is just some arbitrary value to help plot on the chart,. I will set the Y axis to range from 0 - 2 so 1 will sit in the middle.
Next, add a line chart with markers. Don't worry about the size for now...
Set the Values as Y
Set the Category Groups as Day
Set the Series Groups as PlannedOrActual
Right click the horizontal Axis, choose properties and set the Axis Type to Scalar, switch off 'Always include zero' then set Min = 1, Max = 31, Interval = 1, Interval Type = Default.
Note that for data in months that don't have 31 days the plots points will not be accurate but they will be close enough for your purposes.
Right click the Vertical Axis, choose properties and set the Mn=0, Max=2, Interval = 1, Interval Type = Default
Next, right click on one of the series lines and choose properties. Set the marker to Diamond, the marker size to 8pt and the Marker Color this expression =IIF(Fields!PlannedOrActual.Value = "P", "Blue", "Green")
The report design should look something like this... (check the highlighted bits in particular)
Now let's quickly test the subreport, based on my sample data I set the parameters to 2019, 1 and 5 and get the following results....
As we can see, our two dates that fall in January for this milestone were plotted in roughly the correct positions.
Nearly there...
Next right click on both Axes and turn off 'Show Axis' so we hide them.
Now resize the chart to something that will fit in the main report cell. In my example I set the size to 2cm, 1.2cm and moved it top left of the report. Then set the report to be the same size as the chart (2cm,1.2cm again in my case).
Save the sub report and go back to your main report...
For the 'Data' cell where the rows and columns intersect, set the size to match the subreport size (2cm, 1.2cm) then right click the cell and insert subreport.
Right click the newly inserted subreport item and choose properties.
Choose _subMonthChart as the subreport from the dropdown.
Click the parameters tab. Add an entry for each parameter (Year/Month/msID) and set its value to be the corresponding field from the dataset.
FINALLY !!!! Set the border on the cell containing the subreport to have borders all round, just so it matches your mock-up..
Your report design should now look like this...
Now when the report runs, it will pass in the month, year and milestone ID to the subreport in each cell which in turn will plot the dates as required.
When we run the report we should finally get this...
This may need some refining but hopefully you can get this going based on this. If you have trouble I suggest you recreate this example in its entirety, get it working and then swap out the database parts to fit your current database.
I need help on what I believe to be a simple SSRS report function, but alas I cannot seem to get to work. I am running a SQL Server 2012, using VS2010.
The report that I'm tasked with requires multiple charts (pie, line and stacked) all based off this one query.
I have created a report with a single dataset as follows:
Use WWTP
SELECT DateAndTime, TagIndex, Val As Value
FROM FloatTable
WHERE DateAndTime BETWEEN #StartDate AND #EndDate
I then place a chart object on the report and apply a filter of TagIndex = 1 and I drag Value onto the chart for the X axis and I drag *DateAndTime* onto the chart for the Y axis. This returns the data as required.
However I'd like to add another value onto this chart (eg. TagIndex = 2). I have tried the following:
Modified the Chart Filter to TagIndex = 1 OR 2
Removed chart Filter and applied the following expression onto the value: =IIf(Fields!TagIndex.Value = 1, Fields!Value.Value, Nothing)
Both scenarios don't return anything. Should I create multiple data sets to achieve this?
I am trying to use Reporting Services to create a report displaying the call activity of various sales reps. The report will group by extension and then date of call. For each group of call dates (that is, all the calls for a particular date), I want to display some totals. One of the totals I want to display is the total number of calls whose duration greater than 2 minutes. I can see how to use the RunningValue function to keep a running total of ALL calls for the date, but I'm not sure how to make that conditional on the length of call. Any ideas?
UPDATE: The checked answer below did it... I used a case statement in linq like this:
var qry = from Q in c.CallList
select new
{
Q.Extension,
Q.CallDate,
Q.Duration
CallCountOverTwoMinutes = Q.duration > 120 ? 1 : 0,
};
Then I sum the value of CallCountOverTwoMinutes. Thanks for the help, Chris!
The easiest way would be to pass the value as part of the dataset. For example, using SQL:
SELECT Extension, CallDate, Duration,
CASE WHEN Duration > 2 THEN 1 END AS CallsOver2Mins
FROM CallTable
Then just sum on CallsOver2Mins.
