I have a name field that in a report built in report builder. The name field sometimes shows a '..' or sometimes shows '. .'. I would like to Replace that using an expression in SSRS.
I've tried the expression below. But that didn't work:
=Fields!MyField.Value.ToString().Replace(". .", "")
The expression is you want is
=replace(Fields!MyField.Value.ToString(),".","")
I personally prefer to do this in SQL if possible.
REPLACE ( string_expression , string_pattern , string_replacement )

A field gives me the following string:
#$TEXTA#$TEXTB#$TEXTC
I want to remove the #$-chars and seperate the values by a new line. In addition I want to replace special characters (&). In the end it should look like this:
TEXTA
TEXTB
TEXTC
So I use this code:
=Replace(Replace(Fields!My_Field.Value,"&","&"),"#$",Environment.NewLine)
The string starts with #$, so this code makes a new line in the beginning, which I want to avoid by using this code:
=Right(First(Fields!My_Field.Value, "DATASET"), Len(First(Fields!My_Field.Value, "DATASET"))-2)
I want to remove the first two chars before the replace function starts. My problem is, that I dont know how to combine these two functions to work properly.
Without testing this....
I think you should just be able to replace your reference to the field in your first expression, with your second expression, like this.
=Replace(
Replace(
Right(First(Fields!My_Field.Value, "DATASET"), Len(First(Fields!My_Field.Value, "DATASET"))-2)
,"&"
,"&"
),
"#$",
Environment.NewLine
)
I HAVE VALUES LOOKS LIKE BELOW
1.(-250.00)
2. 1293.01
3. (-3567.78)
I NEED SUM OF these values using ssrs expression can anyone please helpme
I think the only way to get rid of the brackets is to REPLACE them and then use VAL to convert the resulting number into a number format. VAL doesn't seem to work on it's own like I thought it would.
=SUM(REPLACE(REPLACE(Fields!AMOUNT.Value, "(", ""), ")", ""))
Hello I have a table Gallery with a field url_immagine and I would like to use a query to replace all values that look like upload/gallery/311/ge_c1966615153f6b2fcf5d84c1e389eea8.jpg in /ge_c1966615153f6b2fcf5d84c1e389eea8.jpg
Unfortunately the a part of the string, the ID (331) is not always the same and therefore can not understand how ...
I tried the regular expression like this:
UPDATE gallery SET url_immagine = replace(url_immagine, 'upload/gallery/.*/', '/')
but it seem not to work.
Combine CONCAT and SUBSTRING_INDEX since you can use last index of "/"
UPDATE gallery
SET url_immagine = (SELECT CONCAT('/',SUBSTRING_INDEX(url_immagine, '/', -1)));
Try that to confirm it's doing what you want :
SELECT CONCAT('/',SUBSTRING_INDEX(url_immagine, '/', -1))
FROM gallery
You can see documentation for the replace function and all other string functions in the mysql manual:
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/string-functions.html#function_replace
It does not mention that replace handles regular expressions, so we an assume it does not, and it is working verbatim and uses the your * to look for the char *.
You see also that there seem not to be a function that does the whole job for you. So you must somehow combine them. The idea of Mateo is probably the right direction.
I have created a variable and writing an expression in SSIS variable to rename a file.
I have a file name like 'Filetodeploy_2014_05_01' I need to trim the characters after '_' (ie date) and display as 'Filetodeploy'
How can i build the above expression in a variable ?
thanks in advance
Try this
SUBSTRING( #[User::UDV_FileName] , 1, FINDSTRING( #[User::UDV_FileName] , "_",1 ) )
Also make it property true 'EvaluateAsExpression'
I have a string like this format. In my case I need to extract only the characters from string case
1)12AB
2)SD12
3)1WE4
output
1)AB
2)SD
3)WE
I need to extract only the characters. I am using this expression in the derived column in SSIS package
SUBSTRING(MediaIDCode,1,2)
but this expression works for only this condition
1)12AB
I need to get an expression that works for all the conditions above. I have tried using REPLACE ( '' , '1', '') but it becomes a big expression.
The SUBSTRING function code you've posted will extract characters from a string without considering their content.
Have a look at using Regular Expressions to filter out unwanted characters:
http://consultingblogs.emc.com/jamiethomson/archive/2005/07/04/SSIS-Nugget_3A00_-The-script-component-and-regular-expressions.aspx
You could also use a synchronous script transformation to filter characters this way:
Dim NewMediaIDCode As String = ""
For Each c As Char In Row.MediaIDCode
If Not Char.IsDigit(c) Then
NewMediaIDCode += c
End If
Next
Row.MediaIDCode = NewMediaIDCode
I've used the IsDigit method here, but there's plenty of other methods to choose from.
