How would I find the Current Quarter in SSRS? I am trying to set a default value for a parameter to the current quarter. I tried:
=QUARTER(NOW)
But it returned the following error:
The Value expression for the report parameter ‘pquarter’ contains an
error: [BC30451] 'QUARTER' is not declared. It may be inaccessible due
to its protection level.
As of the writing of this post 6/20/2018 I am trying to return 2.
In SSRS:
DatePart(DateInterval.Quarter,Fields!date_var.Value)
Quater is a date related and this should work.
select DATEPART(Q,GETDATE())
I was able to find the following function:
=DatePart("q",NOW())
It seems to work.

I need to pass a date parameter as per below url. I'm trying this from the browser:
http://Server1/ReportServer_SQLTest?/Accounting%20Statements
&rs:Command=Render
&rdt=1115
&prt=187
&edr=11%2f02%2f2021TO
&cdr=11%2f02%2f2021TO
&sdr=11%2f02%2f2021TO
&ed=11%2f02%2f2021
&cd=11%2f02%2f2021
&sd=11%2f02%2f2021
&Grp=45
&ReportFormat=consolidated
&filter1=3
&event=187
&StyleOption=1
&vis_usr=-9999
&call=51fc7815-18e6-4574-a59a-c8a9d223df64
&rs:Format=pdf
it threw an error
Default value or value provided for the report parameter 'edr' is not a valid value. (rsInvalidReportParameter)
I tried in various ways passing the edr date parameter. Still throws error. Any suggestions?
It would look like the issue is that your edr, cdr and sdr parameters all have TO at the end of the passed value, which is not part of any valid date format that I am aware of.
I solved the problem. In SSRS TO means Today; and YS means Yesterday. The SSRS validates if today is 11%2f02%2f2021TO; So I changed as below. I took these parameter values from existing db entries.
&edr=11%2f09%2f2021TO
&cdr=11%2f09%2f2021TO
&sdr=11%2f09%2f2021TO
Im trying to find the days gap between two dates using DateDiff function.
I have 2 datasets defined. If companycode is 'AB' then from one dataset else from another dataset I retrieve data.
Here is my expression. When I change to preview mode, it shows redmark to the first First(Fields!PeriodFrom.Value line. Why? (after generating report that field shows #Error
What Im doing wrong here?
=IIF(Parameters!CompanyCode.Value="AB",
DateDiff("d",First(Fields!PeriodFrom.Value, "ABReportData"), First(Fields!PeriodTo.Value, "ABReportData")),
DateDiff("d",First(Fields!PeriodFrom.Value, "XYReportData"), First(Fields!PeriodTo.Value, "XYReportData")))
I think there are two possible scenarios. First one is the expression
=First(Fields!PeriodFrom.Value, "ABReportData")
doesnt return a value. Add a column with this expression and check if you get a value.
If the value is correct, make sure that the DateDiff() function gets a date:
=IIF(Parameters!CompanyCode.Value="AB",
DateDiff("d",
CDate(First(Fields!PeriodFrom.Value, "ABReportData")),
CDate(First(Fields!PeriodTo.Value, "ABReportData"))
),
DateDiff("d",
CDate(First(Fields!PeriodFrom.Value, "XYReportData")),
CDate(First(Fields!PeriodTo.Value, "XYReportData"))
)
)
SQL Server 2008 R2, using BIDS to design the report.
I have a table and I am trying to only show a certain row. Maybe there are better ways to do this, but I am coming across an error with the filter expression and regardless of how I achieve my initial task, I'd like to understand the filtering.
I started with the filter expression (set to type "Integer"):
RowNumber(Nothing) = 1
This gave the error:
Cannot compare data of types System.String and System.Int32.
I found the solution to this is to change the 1 to "=1" as 1 is evaluated as a string.
So I then had:
RowNumber(Nothing) = =1
That changed nothing, I got the same error.
Then I tried to do that to the first part of the expression:
=RowNumber(Nothing) = =1
This changed the error to a deployment problem (still builds, which is frustrating):
Error pvInvalidDefinition : The definition of the report '/ReportName' is invalid.
I then tried using CInt on RowNumber:
CInt(RowNumber(Nothing) = =1
Then I can deploy it, but the error just changes back to the first one:
Cannot compare data of types System.String and System.Int32.
It seems no matter what I try here I either can't deploy the report or I get an error that I'm comparing a string to an int.
RowNumber returns an integer, so it seems like this should work. I've tried using the name of the dataset in place of "Nothing" but that doesn't change what I'm seeing.
I realize there are many ways to solve my initial problem, but I am curious as to why the filter expression is invalid.
Its better to hide a row with visibilty property. Just click on any text box and go to visibily tab . You can now click on show or hode and go to expression.
That default to Hide . So write an expression there to hide the row.
=IIf(NOT(RowNumber = 1),TRUE,FALSE)
Let me know if you get any error
RowNumber is not available to use in a Tablix Filter.
Using RowNumber(Nothing) <> 1 as a Row visibility property fixed the issue.
Using BIDS you are not given any error that indicates what the problem is, but importing the report to Report Builder and deploying it from there will give a more descriptive error that, in the end, helped me to solve my problem.
I have created a report in jasper ireport which will find idletime of production machines. am getting the output for that. But facing problem when trying to find total idletime.I have used subtotaling concept where i created a variable 'total' passed the idletime expression 'TimeDiff(startTime,stopTime)' ,also created a textbox and called the variable in that. In the preview instead of sum Iam getting only last value (idletime) of the table.
Please help me.
By default the calculation type of the variable will be set to Nothing. This will cause the variable to be overwritten with a new value for each record in the dataset. If this is the case, when you read the variable at the end of the report it will be equal to the last value from your set of data. This sounds like what is happening in your case.
To solve this you should set the Calculation property of your variable to Sum. This will add each new value to the existing one instead of overwriting it.
I'm using SSRS 2005 and I'd like to be able to 'jump to' different reports depending on the value in a date field. For example:
=iif(Fields!Date.Value = Today, TodaysReport, OtherDaysReport)
When I use this syntax, I get this error when previewing the report:
The ReportName expression for the textbox ‘CallId’ contains an error: [BC30451] Name 'TodaysReport' is not declared.
I don't get any error on the 'OtherDaysReport' parameter but I think the compiler gave up on the first error.
Is the syntax I'm using in the IIF statement valid in a 'Jump to Report' expression in the Navigation property of a textbox? If not, is there a different way to do what I'm trying to do.
I am not sure if you found answer to your problem yet. but for anybody with similar problem please try following
put your report names in quotations. In your case try
=iif(Fields!Date.Value = Today,"TodaysReport", "OtherDaysReport")
Also make sure you specify the right parameters and the "Omit" properties as required.
