I rarely use access but I need to update a query. How do I make it so a SERVICE DATE year and ADMIT DATE year equal each other?
Date fields currently show date like this: 20201015
Find year of Service: DOSYEAR: Left([svcdat],4)
Find year of Admit: DOAYEAR: Left([admdat],4)
I tried to create an additional column where the service and admit year equal each other like below and put "test" in the Field name. When I try to run though a parameter pop up appears. What do I need to change?
Left([svcdat],4) = Left([admdat],4)
Thanks.
Move your expression to the top row, and replace it (in the criteria row) with True.

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
)
)
Good day
I am very very new two paginated reports so forgive me if this is a silly question
I have a report that displays values for Mondays to Fridays based on the date selected from a date picker.
So basically
You select a date (Example 24 Nov) and the following table is displayed based on values pulled from SQL.
Now my question is how do I display the dates of the weekdays too?
So if the date selected is Thursday 24 Nov, in the column headers under the week day names it should give the corresponding date i.e Monday-21/11/2022, Tuesday - 22/11/2022, etc.
Below is a little snippet of the data
So the date picker is based on the ReportingDate column. The rows of the matrix consist of Region and Country and the values are the sum of Monday-Friday.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: The day names are not obtained via an expression in SSRS. They carry over from the column headers in the data set.
Assuming you have some expression to get the actual day name already, you can leave that bit as it is.
Now, double click the column header "cell"/textbox to get a cursor in there, then click at the end of the existing fields/expression.
Now just put a space in and then right-click and choose "Create Placeholder". The placeholder dialog will appear.
This placeholder acts almost like a separate textbox to you can put whatever you want in there, click the '[fc]' button next to the Value property and then set this to whatever you want, e.g. =Fields!ReportingDate.Value.
Now go to the "number" tab on the same dialog box and set the format to the required date format.
If you want to edit this later, just double click the cell again but this time right-click the placeholder and choose properties.
The other way of doing this would be to add another row to your header and set that to be the date instead but then you have to mess around removing borders etc., sometimes this can be easier if layout is an issue but you have a couple of options at least now.
I managed to figure it out with the help of the following post.
These are the steps I followed
Get the date of the first day of the current week (Sunday's date) using the formula explained in the link
DateAdd("d",1- DatePart("w", CDate(Parameters!ReportingDate.Value)), CDate(Parameters!ReportingDate.Value))
Use DateAdd to add the corresponding number of days to get to a required weekday. That is for Monday add 1, Tuesday add 2,...
DateAdd("d",1,DateAdd("d",1- DatePart("w", CDate(Parameters!ReportingDate.Value)), CDate(Parameters!ReportingDate.Value)))
Format datetime to date and add new line to insert date below day name
="Monday" + Environment.NewLine + FormatDateTime(DateAdd("d",1,DateAdd("d",1- DatePart("w", CDate(Parameters!ReportingDate.Value)), CDate(Parameters!ReportingDate.Value))), DateFormat.ShortDate)
I'm using an embedded data source of type SharePoint List.
I use a parameter that a user can modify that will filter the data set by the month. I've seen a few examples but they all either use a SQL query or only filters on the exact day rather than the month.
I added a parameter ParamMonth and gave it the data type of Date/Time. I can see this adds a drop down box to my report which is exactly what I want. Ideally, I would like to add the name of all 12 months or something similar, but I don't know how that will work out when the data exceeds a single year. Now, that I've got my Report Parameter added, I need to add it to my dataset to filter on. This is where I'm stuck.
An easy way could be creating a parameter type Integer and set all months in Available Values tab as follows (I just set five months for example).
Then go to the DataSet Properties / Filter tab and use the below settings.
For expression use:
=MONTH(Fields!Date.Value)
Where Date is the field that you will use to filter by month. In Value you have to use:
=Parameters!Month.Value
UPDATE: Provide year selection.
The best approach for this is getting the available values from a DataSet, in this case your SP list.
Just create a calculated field in your dataset with available years (it can be a copy of the SP list dataset), call it calculatedYear and use:
=YEAR(Fields!Date.Value)
Now create a Year parameter of Intenger data type, and set this settings:
Where DataSet15 is the DataSet name that feeds your parameter with the available years.
Then just add another filter in your dataset:
Note you will need two datasets one to get the available years and
other the dataset you need to filter.
Let me know if this helps.
I am trying to sort data by the week it was created. I can not use 'w' in DateAdd, 'week' or 'WeekOfYear' without an error stating that function/expression is inaccessible.
What is the best way to create a substitute expression? I want the expression to group the dates based on the week it was created.
I am trying to replicate this:

Based on the expected results you posted in the edition of your question I have reproduced the tablix.
I've used the following dataset:
I am supposing you are going to use a tablix component so I added this one with the following data arrangement.
In the Row Groups panel right click on date group.
In group properties, add a group expression and set this:
=DATEADD("d",7-DATEPART(DateInterval.Weekday,Fields!date.Value),Fields!date.Value)
Also in the tablix you have to set the same expression:
In the columns you want to sum you can use the Sum function or any aggregation function. I've used =Sum(Fields!value.Value) to Sum values within the same week.
This is the result it will preview:

Scenario:
I have a single table in access 2007 with few columns and several thousand records which I have imported form a CSV file via a “DoCmd” statement.
What I want:
I want to export these records but on a basis of specific field content and with another column’s date basis. i.e. I want to export the records with the “EQ” ( content of a columns field “SERIES”) and with a date which is one amongst the many dates the column have.
The “SERIES”, I have defined in “Criteria” in my query and it is working fine as the “SERIES” remains the same every day.
Issues:
The problem is with the date that changes every month and I cannot define or hard-code it in anywhere.
Query is working fine with the file where there is no date, but with a date, it is an issue.
Question:
Can we put a user define textbox, where user can define the date and that date will be taken by the query and will return the records with that defined date? In addition, “SERIES” is already defined in query so the result will be exact.
I use the following statement for exporting the data:
DoCmd.TransferText acExportDelim, "NewFnoSpec", "fnoquery",
"C:\Users\welcome\Desktop\Output.txt", True
Using the following 'WHERE' clause as a starting point to select records for one specific date:
WHERE (((Table1.SERIES)="First") AND ((Table1.MyDate)=#4/4/2014#));
You can prompt the user to enter a date by using:
WHERE (((Table1.SERIES)="First") AND ((Table1.MyDate)=[Enter Date]));
If there was some pattern or rule as to the desired date (i.e. first day of prior month, first Monday of prior month, etc.) you could structure the 'WHERE' clause to handle that without a prompt.
Thank you for your reply and an answer. Your answer is quite helpful. I have tried a little easier way and it worked for me. I put a text box named txtexpdate, on the form and in the query ( design mode ), in criteria I have put this :
Like "" & [Forms]![Futures]![txtexpdate] & ""
This is working fine at this juncture. And thank you once again for your efforts to answer my question. Hope this also will help others as an option to this problem.
