I am generating values in runtime so after every reload the values in the multiselect box is getting blanked. I am taking the values from a function. so I want to prefield that multiselect value. How can we do that?
You should be able to modify the values and displayValues (note: they must both be set) to the values that you'd like. For example, if you have a query, q_dropdown_fields, you should be able to set values & displayValues to q_dropdown_fields.values and q_dropdown_fields.displayValues, respectively; obviously the column names will depend on your query
There is a concrete example with pictures in the documentation, under https://www.palantir.com/docs/foundry/slate/concepts-variables/ . I'm not going to copy the whole tutorial here, but this image (taken from the tutorial) should answer how to pre-set static values in a slate widget.

The values I selected in my multi-select widget below showing up as N/A. Where did I go wrong in my configuration and how can I set it up correctly?
The optional displayValues attribute, defined in the "Display" field, sets the values displayed in the multi-select box. You can see the screenshots below:
Moving to the </> tab, if you set values for “selectedDisplayValues” then it will display those values rather than the “selectedValues”. When you set “SelectedDisplayValues”: [] you are telling Slate that there are no values to display. If instead you set “SelectedDisplayValues” = “” Slate would read this as no values entered in this field. Therefore, the widget will display the values configured in {{f_function1}} instead.

I'm having trouble trying to divide a cell by (A NUMBER) only if another cell contains specific text and if the cell contains another text i want it to be divide by a different number in SSRS
This is what i have but it is not working.
=IIF(Fields!PARTNO_LOT.Value=("A1001"),Fields!LOCSTOCK.Value/200)
I have added a example but in excel just to show my intent in SSRS.
If the above answer doesn't work, try this:
=Switch(
Fields!PARTNO_LOT.Value="A1001",Fields!LOCSTOCK.Value/200,
Fields!PARTNO_LOT.Value="A1002",Fields!LOCSTOCK.Value/285,
Fields!PARTNO_LOT.Value="A1003",Fields!LOCSTOCK.Value/89
)
Let me know if this helps.
If I understand correctly, you are trying to execute multiple conditions. You can use nested IIF statements:
=IIF(Fields!PARTNO_LOT.Value=("A1001"),Fields!LOCSTOCK.Value/200,
IIF(Fields!PARTNO_LOT.Value=("A1002"),Fields!LOCSTOCK.Value/285, Fields!LOCSTOCK.Value/89))
If your values are only few, this would work. If they are more than 2-3, I would look into creating a function. Reference: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms156028.aspx
I am working on rdl reports and as I had to add multilingual support, I need to be able to change the column headers' text by the selected language parameter.
I added this very basic custom expression to the header:
=IIF(Parameters!Language.Value="EN", "Date", "DateInDifferentLanguage")
but when I export the report to CSV this is completely ignored, moreover, the column header will be the assigned value's name.
I tried to search for solution for almost 2 days, but the only thing I found that I should use the DataElementName property. Well, for static values it works, but as the text is parameter-dependent I have to use custom expressions and this property does not allow me to use anything like that.
Hopefully, there will be no difference in the solution for grouped columns.
So, my question is: is it possible to add parameter-dependent custom expressions to grouped/not grouped columns?
EDIT: I just realized that you can't set the DataElementName property by expression. I'll leave this up in the off-chance that it may help in some way.
If you're wanting different expressions based on a parameter, try this:
Make sure you can see your Report Data. View -> Report Data(at the bottom)
Start by creating the parameter. Right click Parameters folder in the Report Data window -> Add Parameter... Let's call it 'Language'.
In the available values tab, click Specify Values. Add values for your languages, so the label will be what you want the viewer to see, make the value the same.
Label: English
Value: english
In the Expression you're trying to modify, simply put the available expressions you want in an SWITCH() block.
SWITCH(Parameters!Language.Value = 'english', [do english things],
Parameters!Language.Value = 'spanish', [do spanish things],
Parameters!Language.Value = 'chinese', [do chinese things],
True, [do english things])
okay, this has got to be simple - but I can't seem to find an answer...
I am creating a summary report (using BIRT 2.6.1), and laying out a few specific summary values in a grid (not a table or a cube).
Say it's a simple query:
SELECT decision FROM dataTable
I created a data binding / aggregation (named "sumDecision") on my grid, of a type count, where my expression is:
dataSetRow["decision"]
Now, I've tried to insert this into a grid, either as "data" or "dynamic text" with the column binding:
row["sumDecision"]
But when I run the report, it comes up blank. How would I do this? Using dataSet["decision"] doesn't seem to do anything either.
I would create a Text Item (not Dynamic Text, just Text) and use the "Value Of" tags on the text item. This will give you an expression editor and as long as your grid is bound to the data set in question, you will be able to choose your data element there.
Since you just want to see the text in the grid, make sure and choose "HTML" for the format of the text item.
One solution is to create a table of 1 column, 1 detail - then delete the detail & header rows, and create my grid inside the footer of the table.
From here, I can add a dataset to the table, and create aggregations that work to my hearts content.
Is this the right way to do this, or am I missing something?
I have SSRS solution for SQL 2005 and 2008.
I am showing output in the form of chart- column chart with each column representing different database.
Is there a way to display each column in different color?

You can use a formula to set the colour of each column, but that would work best if you knew what the individual series values ('databases'?) were going to be.
Right-click on your chart and bring up its properties. Now switch to the Data tab and select the first item in the Values list. Click the Edit... button to show the properties for the values (the columns) in your chart. Over on the Appearance tab there's a Series Style... button which takes you to another dialog.
On this new Style Properties dialog, switch to the Fill tab. That's where you set the colour for each of your columns. This can be a formula, so you might make it something like:
=Switch(
Fields!Database.Value = "master", "Blue",
Fields!Database.Value = "msdb", "Red",
"Green")
If you don't know in advance which 'databases' are going to be represented on the chart, this method won't work very well. In that case you might be able to come up with a formula which hashes the database name and comes up with a colour to match. That sounds like an interesting challenge, so add to your question if you need help doing something like that.
Edit
I just got a hash-based-colour-scheme working. It's a pretty nasty piece of code, but it did manage to get me a unique colour for every (string valued) column. Perhaps someone can come up with a better algorithm and post it here. Here's mine:
="#" & left(Hex(Fields!Database.GetHashCode()), 6)
So that's getting the HashCode for the string (a numeric value) and converting it to hex, then taking the leftmost six characters and prepending it with a "#" sign. That gives us a string that looks like a colour value (eg #AB12F0).
