SSRS - Pick 1 word from a paragraph - reporting-services

I want to pick the word "aaaaa.com" to a new column from the text " Next to each other with 703125 ABC: QWER => null - aaaaa.com . [VBN Res ID = 745075267#1(1/2)] Room 1 Comment: No meal is included in this room rate. " which comes in a 1 column in SSRS.

It is probably easier to output it as 2 columns in the dataset... but if you can't then the second option would be to use VB code.
Right click on the space behind your code and click 'Report Properties'.
Then in the Code section paste this:
Function SplitText(text As String, column As Int16) As String
If (column = 1) Then
Return text.Substring(0, text.Substring(0, text.IndexOf(".com") + 4).LastIndexOf(" "))
Else
Return text.Substring(text.Substring(0, text.IndexOf(".com") + 4).LastIndexOf(" ") + 1)
End If
End Function
Then in your report use this expression for the first column:
=Code.SplitText(Fields!text.Value,1)
and this for the second
=Code.SplitText(Fields!text.Value,2)
and you have your result!
EDIT
Or if you just want the email address on it's own use this code:
Function GetEmail(text As String) As String
Dim Result As String
Result = text.Substring(text.Substring(0, text.IndexOf(".co") + 3).LastIndexOf(" ") + 1)
Result = Result.Substring(0, Result.IndexOf(" "))
Return Result
End Function

IIf query decimal removal

Trying to attempt the following in MS Access.
Convert data in one field to an 18 digit number starting with 01 in another field.
There are also some conditions that have to be met:
the first dash should become double zeros
the second dash should be removed
the third and fourth dash should be a single zero
the decimal must also be replaced with a zero
My query works fine until the decimal is the 15th character in the data.
Here is the query:
SELECT MasterVacant.ParcelIdNumber,
"01" + Mid([ParcelIdNumber],1,2) + "00" + Mid([ParcelIdNumber],4,2) + Mid([ParcelIdNumber],7,1)
+ IIf(Mid([ParcelIDNumber],11,1) = "", "0"+Mid([ParcelIDNumber],9,2), Mid([ParcelIDNumber],9,3))
+ IIf(Mid([ParcelIDNumber],14,1) = ".", "0"+Mid([ParcelIDNumber],12,2), Mid([ParcelIDNumber],12,3))
+ Mid([ParcelIDNumber],15,3) AS ParcelNumber
FROM MasterVacant;
Here is a start and finish example...
'12-06-1-00-50.000-RR' should become '011200061000050000'
'12-06-3-07-09.000-RR' should become '011200063007009000'
'13-35-1-01-129.000-RR' should become '011300035100112900'
However, instead of getting `0113000351001129000' I get '013000351001129.00'.
The issue is how do I remove the decimal when the decimal is the 15th character like in the third set of example?
I receive the data as a single column. Some of it is below....
1. 13-35-1-07-29.000-RR
2. 13-35-1-01-112.000-RR (Removing the decimal when the data is like this is the issue)
3. 13-35-4-01-01.000-RR
4. 13-35-4-02-04.000-RR
5. 13-35-1-13-17.000-RR
The output for the above data should be
1. 011300351007029000
2. 011300351001112000
3. 011300354001001000
4. 011300354002004000
5. 011300351013017000
Use a custom function:
Public Function Make18(ByVal Value As String) As String
Const Head As String = "01"
Const Tail As String = "000"
Const Lead As String = "00"
Dim Parts As Variant
Dim Part As Integer
Dim Result As String
Parts = Split(Split(Value, ".")(0), "-")
For Part = LBound(Parts) To UBound(Parts)
Select Case Part
Case 0
Parts(Part) = Head & Parts(Part)
Case 1
Parts(Part) = Lead & Parts(Part)
Case 3, 4
Parts(Part) = Right(Lead & Parts(Part), 3)
End Select
Next
Result = Join(Parts, "") & Tail
Make18 = Result
End Function
and your query becomes:
SELECT
MasterVacant.ParcelIdNumber,
Make18([ParcelIdNumber]) AS ParcelNumber
FROM
MasterVacant;
I am assuming you meant the opposite where:
12-06-1-00-50.000-RR should become 011200061000050000
12-06-3-07-09.000-RR should become 011200063007009000
13-35-1-01-129.000-RR should become 0113000351001129.00
I would recommend the REPLACE() in MSACCESS to strip the dashes out. Once you have the dashes out you can MID()
Unfortunately your attempted code does something different with the 3rd row because 3 zeros are being put in when there should be only two in my opinion.
Try in a text box:
=Replace("13-35-1-01-129.000-RR","-","")
will return 1335101129.000RR
and see if that assists you in making your code.
Maybe go one step further and put it in a function.

Access: Increment/Decrement a number with 2 dots

I have two fields for current version number and previous version number in a form. What I want to do is when I enter the current version number (which is written like this 18.04.15), the previous version number on the next text box to automatically fill itself with 18.04.14.
I tried:
=[txtCurrentVersion]-1 in the control source, but obviously because I'm not decrementing by one, it didn't work.
Would appreciate some guidance, thanks :)
Below code splits the text based on dot and subracts one from last item.
Private Sub txtCurrentVersion_AfterUpdate()
If Nz(Me.txtCurrentVersion, "") <> "" Then
Me.txtPrevVersion.Value = Split(Me.txtCurrentVersion, ".")(0) & "." & Split(Me.txtCurrentVersion, ".")(1) & "." & Split(Me.txtCurrentVersion, ".")(2) - 1
End If
End Sub
I would suggest creating a function where you give the function 3 parameters, the 1st is the current version number string, the 2nd is the version number level (0 for major number, 1 for subversion number and 2 for minor version number) and the value to increase or decrease.
for example:
Function ModifyVersion(VersionNumber, NumberLevel, Number)
If VersionNumber <> "" AND NumberLevel >= 0 AND NumberLevel < 3 Then
dim VersionArray
VersionArray = Split(VersionNumber, ".")
Select Case NumberLevel
Case 0
VersionArray(0) = VersionArray(0) + Number
Case 1
VersionArray(1) = VersionArray(1) + Number
Case 2
VersionArray(2) = VersionArray(2) + Number
End Select
ModifyVersion = VersionArray(0) & "." & VersionArray(1) & "." & VersionArray(2)
End If
End Function
Then to decrease one from the minor version number use:
VersionNumber = [txtCurrentVersion]
Dim UpdateVersion
UpdateVersion = ModifyVersion(VersionNumber, 2, -1)

How to get a drop-down filter in Spotfire Information Link?

Generally people use the default option that Spotfire gives. Connect to the DB and pull the set of columns that you need and create an Information Link and load the data to Spotfire.
However, I am using SQL Query to fetch data to Spotfire. I am creating a table similar to Views, and writing a simple stored procedure to pull the data:
Create procedure ProcA(In Start_Date date, IN End_Date date, In Site_Name text)
Begin
SELECT * FROM TableA where day between Start_Date and End_Date and
site_name = Site_Name;
This works fine if I am not using site name filtering.
The Information Links helps in filtering the date properly. But when it comes to Site Name, nothing works.
There are 2 requirements:
Is it possible to give a drop-down just like how filter comes for Date
How to pass multiple site names to pull only those sites into the Spotfire file
TL;DR: There are better ways to do this; if it's just for the column names, I don't think it's worth it to do part 2, since it's easy enough to change the sql in the information link, but it's possible.
Okay, I will try (read: fail) not to be too long-winded.
1) Is it possible to do a drop-down for dates? Yes. The easiest way to do this would be to pull a data table with all of your date choices available for the end user. Here's an example finding a list of better way to generate months/year table Remember when creating your dropdownlist that your Document Property has to have the Data type "Date", and then you should be able to set property values through Unique Values in column against your date column from the new data, the same as you would do for a string drop-down list.
If you have a small subset of specific dates to choose from, this probably isn't too bad. If the drop down list gets longer, your end-users can type in the date they're looking for to speed up their search (though in my experience, a lot of them will scroll through until they find the date they're looking for).
While this is perfectly acceptable, if you're at all comfortable adding javascript, I'd personally recommend using a Popup Calendar These are fairly straightforward for end-users, and can allow them to use the calendar or type it themselves. (And if they type something that isn't a date in, it's even kind enough to inform them with red letters and an exclamation mark that they haven't typed an actual date)
2) How to pass multiple site names to pull only those sites into the Spotfire file
Hoo boi, where to start.
Step one: How do you want to select your list of Site Names? I'm going to go ahead and assume you have a data table with a list of distinct Site Names.
Your next choice is how to let your user select which Site Names they want. General options are using a List Box Filter, displaying a table and using marked rows, or providing a text area where the user can type their selections themselves.
When I needed to do this, I did a combo of a data table and a text area, so that's what I'm going to describe here.
I start off by providing the user with a text area, formatted to "specific size" with a larger than usual height to prompt that, yes, they are allowed to type multiple rows. If they know the values they're looking for, they can type them in manually, or copy paste from an excel file, etc.
If they don't know what they're looking for, the list of Site Names would be in a Table displayed for the user, where they can then mark the rows they want on the visualization and push a button which will do a cursor through the list of marked Site Names, concatenate them together, and put them in the text box previously mentioned (Note: if you don't want to let them enter their list manually, you can leave off the text area, combine these next two pieces of code, and throw it straight into the SpecialFilterProperty).
Please note that cursors are slow; if you have more than a few thousand rows to cycle through, this may stall out for a few seconds.
Code for the button:
from Spotfire.Dxp.Application.Visuals import CrossTablePlot
from Spotfire.Dxp.Data import IndexSet
from Spotfire.Dxp.Data import RowSelection
from Spotfire.Dxp.Data import DataValueCursor
from Spotfire.Dxp.Data import DataSelection
TextFltr = ""
crossSource = Document.Data.Tables["Distinct_SiteNames"]
##Get a Row Count
rowCount = Document.Data.Tables["Distinct_SiteNames"].RowCount
##Index Set of all our rows
rowIndexSet=Document.ActiveMarkingSelectionReference.GetSelection(Document.Data.Tables["Distinct_SiteNames"]).AsIndexSet()
allRows = IndexSet(rowCount,True)
if rowIndexSet.IsEmpty != True:
allRows = rowIndexSet
colCurs = DataValueCursor.CreateFormatted(crossSource.Columns["Site_Name"])
##Optional: Loop through to determine average value
colTotal = ''
for row in crossSource.GetRows(allRows, colCurs):
colTotal += ', ' + colCurs.CurrentValue
if TextFltr == "":
TextFltr += colTotal[2:]
else:
TextFltr += colTotal
Document.Properties["SelectedSiteNames"] = TextFltr
from System.Collections.Generic import Dictionary
from Spotfire.Dxp.Application.Scripting import ScriptDefinition
import clr
scriptDef = clr.Reference[ScriptDefinition]()
Document.ScriptManager.TryGetScript("Change Special Filter Value", scriptDef)
params = Dictionary[str, object]()
Document.ScriptManager.ExecuteScript(scriptDef.ScriptCode, params)
At the bottom it references a second script; this is the script attached to the button that parses through the text area when the user wants to submit their selections and refresh the data table.
The General Code I've used is here, script titled "Change Special Filter Value", which allows delimiting by newline, tabs, commas, quotes, and a few others. Feel free to add or subtract here, depending on your user-base's needs.
strVals = Document.Properties["SelectedSiteNames"]
lst = ""
cnt = 0
x = 0
y = 0
z = 0
for letter in strVals:
if y == 1:
if letter == " ":
lst = lst + "'" + strVals[x:z] + "', "
y = 0
elif letter == ",":
lst = lst + "'" + strVals[x:z] + "', "
y = 0
elif letter == "\n":
lst = lst + "'" + strVals[x:z] + "', "
y = 0
elif letter == "\r":
lst = lst + "'" + strVals[x:z] + "', "
y = 0
elif letter == "'":
lst = lst + "'" + strVals[x:z] + "', "
y = 0
elif letter == '"':
lst = lst + "'" + strVals[x:z] + "', "
y = 0
elif letter == '\t':
lst = lst + "'" + strVals[x:z] + "', "
y = 0
else:
if letter <> " " and letter <> "," and letter <> "\n" and letter <> "\r" and letter <> "'" and letter <> '"' and letter <> "\t":
if y == 0:
cnt += 1
print letter
x = z
y = 1
z += 1
if y == 1:
lst = lst + "'" + strVals[x:z] + "', "
print lst
lst = lst.upper()
if len(lst) > 0:
lst = lst[1:len(lst) - 3]
Document.Properties["SpecialFilterValue"] = lst
Step one is now complete! You have a list of all your selected site names in a property that you can now pass to your stored procedure.
Note: I believe there's a limit to the number of characters Spotfire can pass through a string value. In my previous testing, I think it's been over 500,000 characters (it's been a while, so I don't remember exactly), so you have a lot of leeway, but it does exist, and depending on which data source you're using, it may be lower.
Step Two: Alter the stored Procedure
Your stored procedure will basically be something along the lines of this:
Create procedure ProcA(In Start_Date date, IN End_Date date, In Site_Name text)
Begin
DECLARE #Script nvarchar(max) =
N'
Select * from TableA where day between Start_Date and End_Date and Site_Name in (' + #Site_Name + ') '
EXECUTE (#Script)
Downright easy in comparison!
(No loop after all! The bizarre use case I was remembering doesn't apply here, unless you're also using a data base that doesn't allow you to pass parameters directly...)

Best way to ignore Comma (,) in CSV files if the Comma(,) is in quotation marks?

I have a small program to read CSV files to build datatable out of it. One requirement is to ignore commas (commas in names, etc) if the commas are between quotation marks. Example.
Name, Age, Location
"Henderson, David", 32, London
John Smith, 19, Belfast
The program should ignore the comma after Henderson and read Henderson, David as one field. My current code can't do this job adding extra column at the end. So How can I achieve it? The solution should not replace the comma between the quotation marks. Thanks.
My current code.
Public Function BuildDataTable() As DataTable
Dim myTable As DataTable = New DataTable("MyTable")
Dim i As Integer
Dim myRow As DataRow
Dim fieldValues As String()
Dim myReader As StreamReader = New StreamReader(_fileFullPath, Encoding.GetEncoding("iso-8859-1"))
Try
fieldValues = myReader.ReadLine().Split(_seperator)
'Create data columns accordingly
If _hasheader = False Then
For i = 0 To fieldValues.Length() - 1
myTable.Columns.Add(New DataColumn("Column(" & i & ")"))
Next
Else
'if the file has header, take the first row as header for datatable
For i = 0 To fieldValues.Length() - 1
myTable.Columns.Add(New DataColumn(fieldValues(i).Replace(" ", "")))
Next
End If
myRow = myTable.NewRow
If _hasheader = False Then
For i = 0 To fieldValues.Length() - 1
myRow.Item(i) = fieldValues(i).ToString
Next
myTable.Rows.Add(myRow)
End If
While myReader.Peek() <> -1
fieldValues = myReader.ReadLine().Split(_seperator)
myRow = myTable.NewRow
For i = 0 To fieldValues.Length() - 1
myRow.Item(i) = fieldValues(i).Trim.ToString
Next
If Not csv2xml.AreAllColumnsEmpty(myRow) = True Then
myTable.Rows.Add(myRow)
End If
End While
Catch ex As Exception
End Try
End Function
You're looking to use the double quote character as a text qualifier in your CSV. Text qualifers allow you to use your field delimiter character(s) in a field value if the field is enclosed in the text qualifier character.
You can progam this yourself but that would be a mistake. There are plenty of free and capable CSV parsers that can do this for you. Since you're using Visual Basic you can take a look at the TextFieldParser class.
You'll still need to write code that will write a CSV's contents into a DataTable.
I found the following that seems to work:
http://www.vbcode.com/asp/showsn.asp?theID=13645
Another option is the GenericParser over at codeproject.com. Don't let the fact that the code in the article is written in C# bother you; you can still reference the DLL (GenericParsing.dll) in your project and use it in VB.
The nice thing about this parser is it includes a method you can use to return a DataTable for you from a CSV. Here's an example which works with your sample data:
Using parser As New GenericParsing.GenericParserAdapter(CSV_FILE_FULLNAME)
parser.ColumnDelimiter = ","
parser.TextQualifier = """"
parser.FirstRowHasHeader = True
Dim dt As DataTable = parser.GetDataTable()
End Using
I'm not familiar with Visual Basic but I think you should not use a Split() function to split the line.
fieldValues = myReader.ReadLine().Split(_seperator) ' DO NOT do this
Instead, write your own split function, which reads each characters one by one. Then have a flag to record whether you are between the double quotation marks.
UPDATE
I'm sorry I know too little about VB or C# to write a runnable code sniplet.
Please read this pseudocode (in fact it is JavaScript)...hope it is useful.
function split_with_quote(string, delimiter, quotation) {
if (delimiter == null) delimiter = ',';
if (quotation == null) quotation = '"';
var in_quotation = false;
var result = [];
var part = '';
for (var i = 0; i < string.length; i++) {
var ch = string[i];
if (ch == quotation) in_quotation = !in_quotation;
if (ch == delimiter && !in_quotation) {
result.push(part);
part = '';
} else {
if (ch != quotation) part += ch;
}
}
return result;
}
a = 'abc,def,"ghi,jkl",123';
split_with_quote(a); // ["abc", "def", "ghi,jkl"]

Html form, radio button and Servlet

I've writen a servlet that builds an html page showing the content of a database. The code is:
Statement st = (Statement) conexion.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery("select * from audiolist" );
while (rs.next())
{
contador++;
out.println("<tr>");
String k = rs.getString("Tittle");
String l = rs.getString("Autor");
String m = rs.getString("Album");
out.println("<td>"+"<input type=\"radio\" name=\"titulo<%="+contador+"%>\"value=\""+k+"\">");
out.println("<td>" + k + "</td>");
out.println("<td>" + l + "</td>");
out.println("<td>" + m + "</td>");
out.println("</tr>");
}
out.println("</table></center>");
out.println("<tr><td colspan=2><input type=submit></td></tr>");
out.println("</form>");
I've added a radio button to each row. With this code I get to show in the browser a table with the content of the database. When I click on submit I want send to another servlet the vale 'k' for the row selected. I'm having a hard time with this. I think I'm sending the value incorrectly. In the second servlet, is it enough to use getParameter() in order to get the info?
Thanks!
In the second servlet you can use:
String value = request.getParameter("tituloX");
to read the value. You need to know the name of the parameter to do. If this is not known, you can try to enumerate the parameters:
for ( Enumeration e = request.getParameterNames(); e.hasMoreElements();) {
String param = (String) e.nextElement();
String value = request.getParameter(param );
}
This only works for parameters with a single value.
Is this line correct?
out.println("<td>"+"<input type=\"radio\" name=\"titulo<%="+contador+"%>\"value=\""+k+"\">");
