Using like operator in SSRS Expression - reporting-services

I have a tablix with following results.
SSRS Result
Since i am learning SSRS. i wonder how to Sum line total with respect to product name. Since product name has duplicate values but it has only M and Xl difference. If i use row group it won't total like i expected since it has M and Xl difference. I wonder how to write an expression for the total.
The desired result set
May 31 2011 S043659 Long-Sleeve Logo jerse M 3 $86.52
Long-Sleeve Logo jersey XL 1 $28.84
Total $115.36
mountain bike socks M 6 $34.20
i used this expression but giving me an error.
`IIF((Fields!Product.value = Previous(Fields!Product.value),Sum(Fields!linetotal.value))`

There's actually a few things wrong with your expression.
The IIF doesn't have a 3rd argument for the ELSE value. In this case, you'd want to use 0. So the expression would be IIF the fields match then LineTotal Else 0.
You want to have the SUM on the outside of the IIF, otherwise it will only SUM one row.
The matching without the size is trickier. I have it trim off the last 4 characters to exclude the size for a match - it may not work depending on your other Product names.
=SUM(IIF(LEFT(Fields!Product.value, LEN(Fields!Product.value) - 4) = LEFT(Previous(Fields!Product.value), LEN(Fields!Product.value) - 4), Fields!linetotal.value, 0))
The expression reads the SUM of (IF the Product matches the Previous Product then the Line Total else 0).
All this being said, it would actually be easy to crate a parent group and GROUP BY on the parent product. Unfortunately, your data uses a comma to separate one type (jersey) by size but a space in another (socks) so I don't see how to do it. If they all had a comma, I would create a Calculated Field on the dataset to use the product-line up to the comma.
=LEFT(Fields!Product.value, INSTR(Fields!Product.value, ",") - 1)
IF your Product line is either a comma or space to separate, you might be able to use this for your Calculated Field:
=LEFT(Fields!Product.value,
IIF(INSTR(Fields!Product.value, ",") > 0,
INSTR(Fields!Product.value, ",") - 1,
InStrRev(Fields!Product.value, " ") - 1) )

How to not COUNT a value in SSRS matrix when value is NULL

I cannot make the my expression NOT count a NULL value in my SSRS matrix.
In my SSRS matrix, I have 2 columns one for AppraisalCompany and a count under the SubmittedDate column. In my report this what is happening:
Per Derrick's suggestion here is the change I made in the ColumnGroup properties for the SubmittedDate:
Here is my expression change in the ColumnGroup properties:
Unfortunately I got this error:
I'm suspicious of your Dataset, I'm not entirely sure how you're getting a null value to return 1 in the COUNT. I have been unable to reproduce your results.
Dataset Query
SELECT 'Drive In' AS AppraisalCompany, NULL AS SubmittedDate
UNION
SELECT 'Photo App - English', 'Dec-18'
Next I created a Row Group on AppraisalCompany and a Column Group on SubmittedDate.
I filtered the column group to remove the null grouping, using the expression =IsNothing(Fields!SubmittedDate.Value), operator <>, and Value true.
In the textbox in the matrix I used [Count(SubmittedDate)].
OUTUT
Appraisal Company | Dec-18
-------------------------------
Drive In | 0
Photo App - English | 1
By a Decimal (Number) datatype Nothing and 0 are the same. You can test this.
Put a tablix into your report with year from 2017 to 2019. Then put the year in a column of the tablix as a number format, then write the following expression in the detail textbox:
=CDec(IIF(CDec(Fields!Year.Value) = 2017, 0, Nothing))
After executing your report you will notice that every value in the year column is 0.
The same goes for the check. Both of these expressions will always return Yes. I basically check for 0 and the second one for for Nothing:
=IIF(CDec(IIF(CDec(Fields!Jahr.Value) = 2017, 0, Nothing)) = 0, "Yes", "No")
=IIF(CDec(IIF(CDec(Fields!Jahr.Value) = 2017, 0, Nothing)) = Nothing, "Yes", "No")
But remember your textbox/column has the be a number format.
So if you want to return Nothing and you display it in a number format textbox, it will show you a 0.
With this in mind it will make sense that a Count() returns the value 1 for 0 AND Nothing. So basically this will do the trick:
'Cont
=Sum(IIF(Fields!YourValue.Value = Nothing, 0, 1))

SSRS 2012 using switch statement with LookupSet count in group footer

Apologies for the long post.
I have an SSRS 2012 report looking at 2 datasets, Dataset1 and Dataset2.
Dataset2 may return 0, 1 or 2 records, so I'm using LookupSet to do this. From the records returned, I need to display several fields.
The report is grouped by Main_ID. In the footer of Main_ID, I am counting the number of returned records from Dataset2.
=LookupSet(Fields!MainID.Value, Fields!MainID.Value, Fields!Record_Name.Value, "Dataset2").Length
This works fine, I'm getting 0, 1 or 2 as appropriate.
In Dataset2 the field:
HasIP
will be used to determine which record in the array I display (as I need to test a field value in Dataset2).
I'm trying to use a switch statement to use the length of the LookupSet array to return the correct fields.
If there are no records (eg length of array = 0) then return the
number 2
If there is 1 record (eg length of array = 1), then return
Record_Name
If there are 2 records (eg length of array = 2), then
check the field HasIP.
If HasIP = YesYes, then return the Record_Name of that matching entry
If HasIP = YesNo, then return the Record_Name of that matching entry.
If all else fails, return the number 2
This is what I'm up to at the moment.
=Switch(
'if no returns returned, display the numeral 2
LookupSet(Fields!Main_ID.Value, Fields!Main_ID.Value, Fields!Record_Name.Value, "Dataset2").Length=0, 2,
'if one return returned, then display Record Name
LookupSet(Fields!Main_ID.Value, Fields!Main_ID.Value, Fields!Record_Name.Value, "Dataset2").Length=1,
LookUp(Fields!Main_ID.Value,Fields!Main_ID.Value,Fields!Record_Name.Value,"Dataset2"),
'if two records returned, check the HasIP field. If HasIP = YesYes, then use this combination first.
LookupSet(Fields!Main_ID.Value, Fields!Main_ID.Value, Fields!Record_Name.Value, "Dataset2").Length=2 AND
LookUpSet(Fields!Main_ID.Value,Fields!Main_ID.Value,Fields!HasIP.Value,"Dataset2")(0)="YesYes",
LookUpSet(Fields!Main_ID.Value,Fields!Main_ID.Value,Fields!Record_Name.Value,"Dataset2")(0),
LookupSet(Fields!Main_ID.Value, Fields!Main_ID.Value, Fields!Record_Name.Value, "Dataset2").Length=2 AND
LookUpSet(Fields!Main_ID.Value,Fields!Main_ID.Value,Fields!HasIP.Value,"Dataset2")(1)="YesYes",
LookUpSet(Fields!Main_ID.Value,Fields!Main_ID.Value,Fields!Record_Name.Value,"Dataset2")(1),
'if two records returned, check the HasIP field. If HasIP = YesNo, then use this combination second.
LookupSet(Fields!Main_ID.Value, Fields!Main_ID.Value, Fields!Record_Name.Value, "Dataset2").Length=2 AND
LookUpSet(Fields!Main_ID.Value,Fields!Main_ID.Value,Fields!HasIP.Value,"Dataset2")(0)="YesNo",
LookUpSet(Fields!Main_ID.Value,Fields!Main_ID.Value,Fields!Record_Name.Value,"Dataset2")(0),
LookupSet(Fields!Main_ID.Value, Fields!Main_ID.Value, Fields!Record_Name.Value, "Dataset2").Length=2 AND
LookUpSet(Fields!Main_ID.Value,Fields!Main_ID.Value,Fields!HasIP.Value,"Dataset2")(1)="YesNo",
LookUpSet(Fields!Main_ID.Value,Fields!Main_ID.Value,Fields!Record_Name.Value,"Dataset2")(1),
'If all else fails, display the number 2
True, 2)
I'm getting the correct one returned for 2 records, but getting #ERROR for zero and 1 records. If I break the formula down to their individual parts:
=SWITCH(
LookupSet(Fields!MainID.Value, Fields!MainID.Value, Fields!Record_Name.Value, "Dataset2").Length=0,
2)
This works. The number 2 is displayed in my report where the are no entries in Dataset2 (the field is blank for any other combination).
If I use:
=SWITCH(LookupSet(Fields!MainID.Value, Fields!MainID.Value, Fields!Record_Name.Value, "Dataset2").Length=1, LookUp(Fields!MainID.Value,Fields!MainID.Value,Fields!Record_Name.Value,"Dataset2"))
This works fine for when I have 1 record returned from Dataset2 (the field is blank for any other combination).
No matter what I tried with the third part (handling the 2 records), I'm getting issues. I can get the correct Record Name returned, but I'm getting #ERROR for 0 or 1 records.
I've tried nesting the third part in IIF statements, flipping it round to look at the length first, etc, but no success.
I cannot edit the underlying query of either dataset.
Any guidance much appreciated.
Solved
See:
SSRS 2012. Replicate grouping results in report in Query Designer
Essentially it was adding a numeric value to HasIP and also add in the Primary key of the second dataset.
Then sort the LookupSet array to get the value you want.
In the expression, you can use this to assign a default value, even when there are not results returned by the LookupSet:
=iif(
LookupSet(
Fields!Main_ID.Value,Fields!Main_ID.Value,Fields!Main_ID.Value,"Dataset2"
).Length>0,
Mid(
Split(
Join(
Code.JoinSorted(
LookupSet(
Fields!Main_ID.Value,Fields!Main_ID.Value,Fields!Q12b.Value,"Dataset2")
)
,";")
,";").GetValue(0)
, 'start point of mid
InStr(
Join(
Code.JoinSorted(
LookupSet(
Fields!Main_ID.Value,Fields!Main_ID.Value,Fields!Q12b.Value,"Dataset2"
)
)
,";")
,"$")
+1,
1),
"2"
)

MS Access Calc Field with combined fields

I have been trying to resolve this calc field issue for about 30 mins, it looks like I have the single field conditions correct in the expression such as [points] and [contrib] but the combined ([points]+[contrib]) field is not meeting the requirement that sets the field to the correct member type, so when these are added it returns some other member type as basic. Might I use the between operator with the added fields...? I tried it, but there is some compositional error. So in other words if you got 45 points it sets you to basic only named in the points field, if you have contrib of 45 you are set to basic in the calc field as expected, but if it were 50 + 50, instead it is setting to basic when it should be "better" member label. Otherwise this simple statement should seem to be correct but the computer is not reading it so when adding. It must not be recognizing the combined value for some reason and calc fields do not have a sum() func.
Focus here: (([points]+[Contrib]) >= 45 And ([points]+[Contrib]) < 100),"Basic",
IIf(([points] >=45 And [points]<100) Or ([Contrib] >=45 And [Contrib] <100) Or (([points]+[Contrib]) > = 45 And ([points]+[contrib] < 100),"Basic",
IIf(([points] >=100 And [points] <250) Or ([Contrib] >=100 And [Contrib] <250) Or ((([points]+[Contrib]) >=100) And (([points]+[Contrib])<250)),"Better",
IIf(([points] >=250 And [points]<500) Or ([Contrib] >=250 And [Contrib] <500) Or ((([points]+[Contrib]) >=250) And (([points]+[Contrib])<500)),"Great",
IIf(([points] >=500) Or ([Contrib] >=500) Or (([points]+[Contrib]) >=500),"Best","Non-member"))))
Here is a data sample from an Access 2010 table which includes a calculated field named member_type:
id points Contrib member_type
-- ------ ------- ----------
1 1 1 Non-member
2 50 1 Basic
3 200 1 Better
4 300 1 Great
5 600 1 Best
If that is what you want for your calculated field, here is the expression I used for member_type:
IIf([points]+[Contrib]>=45 And [points]+[Contrib]<100,'Basic',IIf([points]+[Contrib]>=100 And [points]+[Contrib]<250,'Better',IIf([points]+[Contrib]>=250 And [points]+[Contrib]<500,'Great',IIf([points]+[Contrib]>=500,'Best','Non-member'))))
In case I didn't get it exactly correct, here is that same expression formatted so that you can better see where you need changes:
IIf([points]+[Contrib]>=45 And [points]+[Contrib]<100,'Basic',
IIf([points]+[Contrib]>=100 And [points]+[Contrib]<250,'Better',
IIf([points]+[Contrib]>=250 And [points]+[Contrib]<500,'Great',
IIf([points]+[Contrib]>=500,'Best','Non-member'
))))
Note if either points or Contrib is Null, member_type will display "Non-member". If that is not the behavior you want, you will need a more complicated expression. Since a calculated field expression can not use Nz(), you would have to substitute something like IIf([points] Is Null,0,[points]) for every occurrence of [points] and IIf([Contrib] Is Null,0,[Contrib]) for [Contrib]
It would be simpler to prohibit Null for those fields (set their Required property to Yes) and set Default Value to zero.
The BETWEEN operator returns TRUE if the value you are testing is >= or <= the limits you have for BETWEEN.
If you are looking at 50+50 then that total = 100 and you are Between 44 and 100. That would result in an answer of "Basic". Change the range for ([points]+[Contrib]) Between 44 And 100) to be ([points]+[Contrib]) Between 44 And 99)

Report and Graphic in access 2007 - calculating values on queries

Picture a table with fields (Id, Valid, Value)
Valid = boolean
Value = number from 0 to 100
What I want is a report that counts the number of records where (valid = 0), and then gives me the total number of cases where (value < 70) and the number of cases where (value >= 70).
The problem is that the "value" field could be empty on some of the records and I only want the records where the value field is not empty.
I know that the second value (value>=70) is going to be calculated, but the problem is that I can't simply do (total number of records - number of records where value < 70), because there's the problem with the records where "value" is null...
And then I want to create graphic with these values, to see the percentage of records below and above 70.
"The problem is that the "value" field could be empty on some of the records and I only want the records where the value field is not empty."
Use a WHERE clause to exclude rows whose "value" field is Null.
Here is sample data for tblMetraton.
Id Valid Valu
1 -1 2
2 0 4
3 -1 6
4 0
5 0 90
I used Valu for the field name because Value is a reserved word.
You can use the Count() function in a query and take advantage of the fact it only counts non-Null values. So use Count() with an IIf() expression which returns a non-Null value (I used 1) for the condition you want to match and Null otherwise.
SELECT
Count(IIf(Valid=0,1,Null)) AS valid_false,
Count(IIf(Valu<70,1,Null)) AS below_70,
Count(IIf([Valu]>=70,1,Null)) AS at_least70
FROM tblMetraton AS m
WHERE (((m.[Valu]) Is Not Null));
Based on my sample data in tblMetraton, that query gives me this result set.
valid_false below_70 at_least70
2 3 1
If my sample data does not address the variability you're dealing with, and/or if my query results don't match your requirements, please show us you own sample data and the results you want based on that sample.

Microsoft Access - grand total adding multiple fields together

I can't quite figure this out. Microsoft Access 2000, on the report total section I have totals for three columns that are just numbers. These =Sum[(ThisColumn1)], 2, 3, etc and those grand totls all work fine.
I want to have another column that says =Sum([ThisColumn1])+Sum([ThisColumn2]) + Sum([ThisColumn3]) but can't figure those one out. Just get a blank so I am sure there is an error.
Give the 3 Grand Totals meaningful Control Names and then for the Grand Grand Total use:
=[GrandTotal1] + [GrandTotal2] + [GrandTotal3]
Your Grand Total formulas should be something like:
=Sum(Nz([ThisColumn1], 0))
NULL values propagate through an expression which means that if any of your three subtotals are blank, the final total will also be blank. For example:
NULL + 10 = NULL
Access has a built in function that you can use to convert NULL values to zero.
NZ( FieldName, ValueIfNull )
You can use NZ in reports, queries, forms and VBA.
So the example above could read like this:
=NZ([GrandTotal1],0) + NZ([GrandTotal2],0) + NZ([GrandTotal3],0)
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/access/HA012288901033.aspx
Create a new query, and the sql should look like this:
SELECT SUM(Column1 + Column2 + Column3),
SUM(Column1),
SUM(Column2),
SUM(Column3),
FROM Your_Table;
