I have a store procedure which brings the data as shown below . I'm new to SSRS reporting, I would like to show only those row where "email" column is null. How can i achieve it in SSRS ? As i mentioned I'm very new to this , any screenshot will help me a lot. Thank you for your time.
For this problem, you'll want to change the row visibility to hide rows with a value in that column. I assume you're using a table or matrix to layout this data. You'll want to right click on the row where your data fields are entered. Specifically, the grey box at the left of the row.
From there, you'll need to select the option to Show or hide based on an expression.
And finally, you'll need to enter an expression that finds the values in the email field. I'm not exactly sure what the field names are called but something like the following expression should do it.
= Not IsNothing(Fields!EmailField.Value)
This will check the field where you get the email value with a built-in function of IsNothing. Additionally, since you want fields that do not contain values, the Not keyword reverses the results. If the function evaluates to true and a value is present, the row will be hidden and vice versa.

I have a crosstab query which returns results based on consumer demand for a bunch of material numbers. The material numbers become my field names in the crosstab query, and later the values from those fields are displayed in a form.
In the form, I display the value in a textbox. There are a couple of these textboxes where I need to sum the total of two or more values from these fields. Not a big deal it's a simple expression. For example (in the Control Source property): =[H123457] + [H123456].
This works well UNTIL there is no demand for a particular material number. In this case, the field doesn't show up in the crosstab query and I'm left trying to sum two fields where one doesn't exist.
I've tried IIf(IsError([H123456]), 0, [H123456]), Null expressions, Nz function, etc but cannot figure out how to dynamically solve the #Name issue that ends up populating the text box.
Essentially what I want is for a 0 value for the field that doesn't exist, so I can add it to the value where the field DOES exist - is this possible?
Regards!
June7 provided the answer in the allenbrowne.com link. Essentially, you need to add all of the possible field names to the Column Headings property in the crosstab query property window. Then it's a simple matter of adding an Nz() function to handle null values.
Thanks June7!
In a form, I am displaying rows of data in the detail section.
Around 5% of the rows might actually have a float value in one column that I need to be displayed as a combobox. The column in question results from a left join, so it may have a float, or it may be null with no existing record behind it. I don't want to have 100000 rows added to a table just to show a zero in the combobox on the outside chance that a user actually displays that particular record. Yes, I can add the rows, then delete them later, but that seems stupid. For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to get the combobox to default to a zero for each row, and still be selectable. Basically for each row, show the value if there is one, zero otherwise, and let the user select a new value if they want.
The VBA side is easy. I can totally create the row if a non-zero value is selected, and delete the row if the user changes it to 0. Ideal would be to bind a combobox to NZ(myField,0), or something similar. When I tried that, the combobox was not selectable.
Right now my combobox is selectable, allows the users to change the value, but shows a blank, not zero if the column is null.
The SQL the form is bound to:
SELECT dbo.PersonClasses.ClassID, dbo.ClassDates.ClassDate, dbo.PersonClassHours.ClassHours
FROM dbo.PersonClasses
INNER JOIN dbo.ClassDates ON dbo.PersonClasses.ClassID = dbo.ClassDates.ClassID
LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.PersonClassHours ON dbo.People.PersonID = dbo.PersonClassHours.PersonID AND dbo.ClassDates.ClassID = dbo.PersonClassHours.ClassID AND dbo.ClassDates.ClassDate = dbo.PersonClassHours.ClassDate
I am looking to represent ClassHours as a Combobox for each record on the form with valid selections being 0,.5,1,1.5,2,2.5. To keep it simple for the users, I want 0 to be preselected. This is how it looks now:
You could set the Format property of the combobox to
#;\0
This will display a zero if the field value is Null. Otherwise the actual value.
Other properties which will also need to be set are the Row Source Type to Value List and Row Source to 0;0.5;1;1.5;2;2.5
Using a function, such as Nz(), in your query to change the value of the field, actually creates a new field, which is read-only.
In your case you need the field to be updateable, so one of your options is to play around with the Format propery, or Conditional Formatting.
I'm creating a single SSRS report that is composed of data drawn from different Datasets. What I'm wanting to do is have a drop down menu where the user selects the dataset they wish and have the appropriate table turn on and show them the dataset information.
Right now I'm testing with two tables and in there Visibility property I have the following expression:
=IIf(Parameters!AppSelection.Value = "STRAW", false, true)
The other table has the exact same line in the same place but with a different value between the quotes.
With my parameter, I created a new one and called it AppSelection and gave it 2 Available Values that matched the words between the quotes in my above expression. The data type for my parameter is Text and the Value of the each Available Value is left at null.
When I preview my report and select the different values in the parameter, nothing happens. What is it I'm doing wrong?
Change the null in the available values to your text, ie STRAW.
You may find that the tables show the other way round from expected, switch the true and false.
I am working on a SSRS report, in which i have a dataset in which some of the rows are completely empty strings. And the report runs on a selected parameter value. When I select a parameter value and if all the column values for that parameter value is an empty string, then the result is displayed as an empty table.
But instead I would like to display it with an error message as "No data available for the selected parameter".
Please help me with this. Thank you.
You could set the grids' NoDataRows message to be this.
NoRowMessage don't work for an empty table I guess.
Instead what I did was, I added an extra row above the empty row in the table(i.e., in between the column headings row and the details row) that is being displayed when the selected parameter doesn't have any data. And I merged all the cells, then wrote whatever error message that I wanted to display. Then I change row visibility of that row to
Show or Hide based on an expression
and the expression I used is as follows
-- This expression is to hide the row -- True --> Hide, False --> Show
=IIF(Fields!Field.Value <> " ", True, False) -- In case if the row you want to hide contains a field value that is empty.
Then change the row visibility of the details row to
=IIF(Fields!Field.Value = " ", True, False)
The first expressions displays the row when the table is empty. And the second expression displays the details rows when the table returns any values.
Hope this helps to someone who faces the same issue. If anybody has anymore doubts regarding this they can reply me back here.
Thank you.
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)
