I am trying to display data in expression from two different datasets from different servers and different databases. I have used Lookup or LookupSet function without being able to display, because I am getting #Error.
=LookupSet(Fields!NumeroCours.Value, Fields!Numero.Value, Fields!TitreCourtOfficiel, "Dataset2").
The fields Fields!NumeroCours.Value=Fields!Numero.Value have the same values.
Looks like it's a case of verifying your fields are referenced properly. You're missing the .Value from the field TitreCourtOfficiel.
=LookupSet(Fields!NumeroCours.Value, Fields!Numero.Value, Fields!TitreCourtOfficiel.Value, "Dataset2")

When a user runs the report, they can select a multi-value parameter. I know I can use Parameters!Value.Label(0), Parameters!Value.Label(1), etc to display the each of the values based on their location within the array, but the number of the values changes based on how many values the user selects.
The report separates each value onto a separate page. I'm looking to (a) have an expression that identifies which value's info is displayed on the page, and (b) an expression that labels the tab as the value when the report is exported to Excel. I expect the same expression would work for both.
I believe I should be using Array.IndexOf(Split(Parameters!Value.Label.ToString(), ","), Parameters!Client.Label), but just get #Error as the output when the report renders. I'm not sure, but it seems like the Array... expression would only identify the location within the array.
Could someone offer some insight into where the syntax is wrong? I'm not sure if the issue is syntax or it's an issue of how to specify which dataset to use in the expression.
Thanks.
This is what you should use
=Join(Parameters!CSR.Label, ", ")
Using SSRS 2012
I have a multivalue parameter in a report and I would like to make it the source of a table. Is there a way to accomplish this? I'm coming to the conclusion that one cannot make the data source of a table anything except a dataset.
I tried to make the multivalued dataset (source of parameter) filtered by parameter but that gives a forward reference error (makes sense).
I am now trying to set the visibility property on the table's single text box like this, so it will only make the values visible that are one of the chosen parameter values:
=IIF(Fields!MODALITY.Value = Join(Parameters!Modalities.Value,","),True,False)
but they are all shown (alway true?). Any ideas on how to show a list of the values picked from a multi valued parameter in the report as a table (not just a delimited string in a text box)?
The data source of a table will always be a dataset, but you can use the parameters in a dataset. Something like
select * from dbo.split3(#parameter)
where split3 is a csv to table function, like one found on http://blogs.msdn.com/b/amitjet/archive/2009/12/11/sql-server-comma-separated-string-to-table.aspx
I found an expression that works for changing visibility so that my table shows just the elements in the multivalue parameter that were selected. Perhaps there's an easier way.
=IIF(Instr(","+Join(Parameters!Modalities.Value,",")+",",","+Fields!MODALITY.Value+",") <> 0,False,True)
I want to filter my column, let's call it AllStudentID from dataset1 with another column from a different datset.
Dataset1 had many column such as AllStudentID, Class, Time, Location.
Dataset2 has other columns but i'm focused on a similar column called OnCampusID.
I've tried looking into using a filter but since the report itself has the columns from Dataset1, i run into an issue where if I select the column in dataset2, it always gives a First(OnCampusID). And I don't want that.
I looked into IIF() but again, i'm using a column from a different datset plus if let's say that they are NOT equal, I don't want to display anything, instead of putting something there. I know that you have to put a result if true and a result if false.
If I"m thinking of it in terms of SQL statements, it's like having a WHERE clause WHERE AllStudentID=OnCampusID.
I tried running a Parameter but I don't want the select part on the top but rather have the report filtered already.
Am I missing something? I know it has to be simple.
Mind you, the following example above is just an example i made up, not the real thing.
Assuming that each OnCampusID only appears once in Dataset2 then you can do a Lookup expression to filter it:
=IIF(IsNothing(Lookup(Fields!AllStudentID.Value, Fields!OnCampusID.Value, Fields!OnCampusID.Value, "Dataset2")), False, True)
If OnCampusID appears more than once in Dataset2 then do the same thing using LookupSet.
To get the graduate field from Dataset2 just to a Lookup in the Value of the cell, like so:
=Lookup(Fields!AllStudentID.Value, Fields!OnCampusID.Value, Fields!Graduate.Value, "Dataset2")
Thank you in advance for taking your time to answer my question.
I am having trouble with expressions in the SSRS reporting system.
The Field I am adding required fields from the dataset I provided in the report, however when I try to preview the report I get the Following message:
"A Value expression used for the report parameter ‘Policies_Total’
refers to a field. Fields cannot be used in report parameter
expressions."
This is my expression:
=IIF(Sum(Fields!policy_id.Value, "DataSet1") Is Null, 0, Count(Sum(Fields!policy_id.Value, "DataSet1")))
That was suppoed to be converted from Crystal reports which has the following expression:
If IsNull ({usp_rep_agent_cases;1.policy_id}) then
0
Else
Count ({usp_rep_agent_cases;1.policy_id})
Any help is much appreciated.
Thank you
I think it may be as simple as understand that a 'parameter' should be passed into SSRS before fields are created for the most part. If this parameter is DEPENDENT on the value of something else first being chosen you cannot list it first as the field is not yet populated to my knowledge. It appears you are trying to use an expression to count something from a field from a dataset when you just make a dataset and reference that field directly. So instead of trying an expression you may choose a few other options instead:
Choose on the left pane of your parameter 'Available Values' selected 'Get values from a query'. You may use your query which is a 'dataset', value is self explanatory, label is what the end user will see display.
The option 'Allow null' value will accept a null value
You may run into situations where multiple datasets may need to be used, multiple selects or querying objects. In my experience with SSRS it gets mad at times when you try to reference a dataset used to display data with a dataset used to determine an event or action. SSRS also gets relativity slower the more Expressions you do so doing a whole report with nothing but expressions versus taking the power of the built ins of the RDL language is not really worth it IMHO.
For SSRS expressions you need to use IsNothing for NULL checking, something like:
=IIF(
IsNothing(Sum(Fields!policy_id.Value, "DataSet1"))
, 0
, Count(Sum(Fields!policy_id.Value, "DataSet1"))
)
In fact the whole expression seems a bit odd; what are you specifically trying to achieve with your expression? Are you just trying to count non-null values?
=Sum(IIf(IsNothing(Fields!policy_id.Value), 1, 0), "DataSet1")
Also, your error seems to be saying that a parameter is referencing a field when this isn't allowed, which may not be solved by changing syntax; I think more information about what you're trying to achieve is required here.
My report is containing some null value.
Report is generated through query
In my report I am calculating sum of every field for that I had written =iif((field name) is null,0,sum(field name))
Through this function I am getting result as 0 only if field contains some value as well
I agree with Remou, you should be using the footers for totals. However if you wanted to carry on with the way you are doing things then try replacing the IIF with NZ(MyField,0)
You should put that IIf statement in the query for that (or those) fields that you want to avoid nulls on. That way you can just put the Sum function in the details section of the report with impunity (assuming details section here).
