iif statement to hide row visibility in SSRS - reporting-services

Currently in a sub report I am pulling a list of data but it is showing the locations that have 0. I have tried the following code in row visibility but it is still showing the 0 quantity locations:
=IIF(Fields!AvailableQty.Value > 0, false, true)
Does anyone have a suggestion for changes?

I don't see anything really wrong with your expression so here are a few suggestions.
You can simplify the expression to this
= Fields!AvailableQty.Value <=0
This will return true for instances where you want the row to be hidden so no need for an IIF statement.
If the rows you are trying to hide are grouped somehow then you will need to test the aggregated value like this
= SUM(Fields!AvailableQty.Value) <=0
If this does not help, edit your question to show the report design and the expression in the quantity. Also show where you tried to add the expression.
Another option might be to simply exclude these in the dataset query

Dont's show rows in SSRS

I'm trying to achieve my report displaying a "No Data Available" message if no results are returned in my query.
I am trying to achieve this via an expression against the Row Visibility.
So I have a Tablix that looks like this -
If there is data available then I want the third, fourth and fifth line to show.
If no data exists then I want the first two rows to display.....
In the Row Visibility for the first two rows I have the following -
=iif(CountRows("RentTransactions") = 0, true, false)
In the Row Visibility for the remaining three rows I have the following -
=iif(CountRows("RentTransactions") > 0, true, false)
I have a filter on the Tablix that just limits it to "AccountType" = Water.
When I run the report between 01/06/2016 and 30/06/2016 - I know there are not transaction - so would expect my report to return the first two rows....
It doesn't it returns the bottom ones , with no data in it??
What am I doing wrong?
The DataSet is definitely called RentTransactions
There are a few issues going on here.
CountRows with the dataset name will always return the total number of rows in the entire dataset.
Row Visibility will make the entire row blank, but it will still take up space. This would look bad if there are alternating blank rows.
What you're really trying to do is control what is displayed in each cell. So in each cell you'll want to have an expression that checks whether or not to display a value. For example, for the Description field it would look something like this:
=IIf(Count(Fields!Transaction_Type.Value) > 0, Fields!Description.Value, "")
This expression will work by returning a count of 0 for NULL Transaction Types. You can customize this if needed.
Also make sure that the query is returning rows for dates with no transactions. Otherwise there's no raw data for the report to do anything with in the first place.

ssrs expression sum doesn't sum all column

I have a column like:
LEFT_PIN_HEIGHT_MIN
0
0
0
1
1
0
I wrote it to Tablix as below,
=Sum(Fields!LEFT_PIN_HEIGHT_MIN.Value)
I want to sum the fields and result must be "2" but it doesn't sum the column
and writes all the rows to Tablix.
I agree with the previous answer that your first choice ought to be to calculate this in the SQL, but sometimes that is not as practical.
Are you trying to display the column's sum in each row? If so, add the dataset name as a second parameter in the sum function, as in
=Sum(Fields!LEFT_PIN_HEIGHT_MIN.Value,"Dataset1")
Replace "Dataset1" with the name of your dataset. The Sum function you're currently using is defining the sum within the context of each row in your tablix. Adding the second parameter changes that context to return the sum for the entire dataset in each row.
If your tablix is large, this may result in a performance hit, since the expression will evaluate each time it is displayed, hence the preference toward doing it in your dataset query.
I suggest to do It with SQL. Use query to SELECT SUM(LEFT_PIN_HEIGHT_MIN)...
If you want to achieve It by SSRS expression you can do It in following:
Right Click on table1_Details_Group > Group Properties...
In Group on: field provide LEFT_PIN_HEIGHT_MIN click OK
To hide 0 > Right Click on left side of values row > Row Visibility check Show or hide based on an expression then write following expression: =IIF(Fields!LEFT_PIN_HEIGHT_MIN.Value = 0, true, false) click OK
It should work.

SSRS - Multiple Tablix Filters Based on Mutiple Parameter Values

I have an SSRS Report parameter set up with 3 different values ("Paid", "Denied" and "Open"). I want to set a tablix filter up so when the user selects one of the parameters, and a condition in the data is met, that row is returned. I want to give the user the option to select all there parameter values.
When I use the following Expression into the Tablix filter(Paid), it works correctly:
=IIf(Parameters!ClaimStatus.Value(0) = "Paid"
and Fields!TotalPaid.Value > "0"
, "Include"
, "Exclude")
If I try adding an additional filter(Denied) with the following Expression, neither filters work:
=IIf(Parameters!ClaimStatus.Value(0) = "Denied"
and Fields!Denied.Value > "0"
, "Include"
, "Exclude")
Is it possible to pass multiple parameters into a Tablix Filter? I've searched all day with no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
You should set up the filter to check the values in teh DataSet are 'IN' the multi-select parameter
In this example my DataSet has a field called Status which could be Open, Paid or Denied.
I also have a multi-select parameter as you describe above called ClaimStatus.
Using the IN operator makes the filter look for instances where Status is in the list of ClaimStatuses selected. Note the default when you add the ClaimStatus parmater as an expression is to add a (0) on the end. Remove this
When this runs and I select Paid and Open, only the Paid an open records are returned in the table that has the results filtered.
Hopefully this will work for you. Let me know if I can assist further.

SSRS 2005: how to write an IIF statement to check whether values are in a parameter list

In SSRS 2005, I'm trying to set up an expression to return true or false, according to whether the value of one of the ReportItems is in a list of (possibly multiple) values selected by the user from a list when the report is run.
Here's the expression so far:
=iif(Trim(ReportItems!Category_2.Value) = Trim(Parameters!Category.Value(0)), False, True)
You can see that True and False in the expression are reversed - this is because it's to control the 'Hidden' property of the row, and I want to NOT hide rows where the value is in the list.
The expression works fine when choosing single values for the parameter, but for multiple values, it only displays the results for the very first.
Hope you can help.
Try using
=iif(Trim(ReportItems!Category_2.Value) = Trim(Parameters!Category.Value), False, True)
Many thanks for your help. These multiple values were really bugging me, and I never managed to get Trim to work properly, so I ended up using the following two-stage solution, instead:
(1) In the SQL 'SELECT' statement, I defined a new value called 'InCategory', assigning it a value of 1 or 0 according to whether the Category was one of the inputted Categories or not:
CASE WHEN Category IN (#Category) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END AS 'InCategory',
(2) Then in SSRS, my expression for the 'Hidden' in the report became simple, hiding the row if the sum of 'InCategory' for that row was 0:
=iif((Sum(Fields!InCategory.Value) = 0), True, False)
Thank you again for your help - I much appreciate it, and will use this site again.

SSRS Multi Value Parameter. Check whether "Select All" is selected

I have a multi value parameter in my SSRS Report. I want to find out whether (Select All) is checked in that parameter.
In other words, whether all the values in the parameter are checked or only some values are checked.
Is it possible?
I am able to find out number of selected values through Parameters!Parameter.Count. Is there a way to find out total of items in that parameter?
In case anyone is still having issues doing this, I just coded this easy fix.
=IIF(COUNTROWS("dataset").Equals(Parameters!parameter.Count),"it is equal","this is not equal")
For the specific use-case of showing the selected filter on your report in a textbox, here's the expression that will show "All" if "(Select All)" is selected, otherwise it will show all the selected values as a comma-separated list:
=IIF(
Parameters!YourMultivalueParam.Count = countrows("YourDataset"),
"All",
Join(Parameters!YourMultivalueParam.Label,", ")
)
(split onto multiple lines for readability)
countrows reference: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd255215.aspx
Credit to other answers, just want to extend them for this common scenario.
Your approach sounds good: I would make the options for the parameter come from a dataset.
Then you can use =COUNTROWS("DataSetName") to return the total number of options for your parameter and compare this with Parameters!*Parameter*.Count as you suggest.
I also faced this problem and I solved it this way.
I have one multivalued parameter named "Carrier". Then I have added one parameter "CarrierHidden" which is same as "Carrier" only thing is I made its Visibility as Hidden.
="Carrier=" & Switch(Parameters!CarrierHidden.Count = Parameters!Carrier.Count, "All",
Parameters!Carrier.Count > 1 And Parameters!CarrierHidden.Count > Parameters!Carrier.Count, "Multi",
Parameters!Carrier.Count = 1, Parameters!Carrier.Label(0))
The easy way will be to count the number of the selected parameters and compare them to the dataset
=IIF(Parameters!company_number.Count = CountRows("Dataset1"), True, False)
The problem is if you're trying to pull something for another data set then cross referencing the row count in another dataset won't work. You will have to go with what the previous post states. Create an internal parameter of the exact type and assign the default value to the entire dataset. That way you have the max count of the rows since the hidden parameter.count = rowscount. That way you can use it within another dataset also provided that dataset is AFTER the first one is populated.
According to Microsoft's SSRS help search:
=Parameters!<ParameterName>.Count
Returns the integer value 1. For a single-value parameter, the count is always 1.
I verified this does indeed work, check the integer returned for the built-in parameter count field.
Allow multiple values on a parameter selection. Checking the value of the above field will let you know how many values the user actually chose.
In my situation, I allow multiple values on company number. This gives users the ability to choose one company to report on or several at once. Per client request, if they choose more than one, display data horizontally. If only one company is chosen in the parameter list, show the data vertically and hide the other tablix.
So my visibility show or hide expression looks like this in the one tablix:
=IIF(Parameters!company_number.Count > 1, True, False)
and like this in the other:
=IIF(Parameters!company_number.Count = 1,True,False)
