I have a coulmn and it has 2 different sets of data, one which starts with Letter and followed by number(Ex:A8753426) and another is only Numeric(7655477)
I have created a report and it shows all the rows. I want it to show all rows when end user select to Show with Letters else it should only shows Numeric values.
Column
A2232322
24343432
12234455
Z1234544
I am using SSRS 2008 to create reports
created 2 reports and linked them with the action field so when they want to see Alpha-Numeric values they just need to click on link and it takes them to that report
try: in datasets filters
use expression like
=iif(isnumeric(left(Fields!yourfield.Value,1)) = 1 ,"number","letter")
operator: "="
Value: would be your parameter (should have 2 available values "number" and "letter")

I have the following switch statement within an SSRS report, but it errors out when I run the report.
Basically Parameter 1 is a multi value parameter, and when the parameter has two values selected where they are two distinct values, I want a certain text to appear.
=SWITCH(Parameters!Parameter1.Count = 2 AND Parameters!Parameter1.Value(0) = "TEXT1-NY" AND Parameters!Parameter1.Value(1) = "TEXT2-LA" , "Combined (NY & LA)"
, True, JOIN(Parameters!Parameter1.Label,"& ")
)
Additionally, regardless of the numbers that are selected (i.e if there were 6 parameters that were selected), is it possible that these two parameters would be replaced with that particular text followed by , and then names of other parameter values?
First of all, good job working out the expression that you have. You're on the right track, but expressions don't have a programmatic way to loop through the values of the parameter.
One option to do specifically what you asked would be to add a custom function to the Code section of your report that could loop through the parameter values.
Another option would be to simply UNION this "Combined (NY & LA)" value to your dataset so that it is available as one of the options.
I've been struggling with an IIF error when trying to create a variable aggregate.
I'm using Report Builder 3.0
I have a report where users determine what fields are in a report. These fields are passed as a multivalue parameter. I use a lookup from a different dataset to determine its placement in the report, and using the same order dataset to determine if the field is numeric or not (meaning I want to sum the value based on row-level grouping). The headers pull in using the same field lookup, which works fine. At the row level I'm trying to return either the sum of the field value based on row grouping, or if non-numeric, return the value. Based on similar posts I understand that both the true and false parts are processed. I attempted to offset this error by nesting another IIF. If I remove the sum function the data returns non-numeric data fine. However if I include the sum function numeric data is processed fine however non-numeric data returns #error.
What am I missing?
Here is a definition of the data I'm referencing below:
lookupvalue: returns the fields selected by the user based on predefined order in a stored procedure.
Fieldisnumeric: indicates if the field selected is numeric or not, 0 is false, 1 is true
Fielditem: the field item in the tablix being referenced
dtsselectedfields: the dataset I'm looking up the column order and numeric properties of a field.
The number 1 indicates the first position in the variable count of fields selected by the user. Additional fields are hidden based on the count of fields passed in the parameter and are incremental (e.g 1-n).
=iif(Lookup(1, Fields!LookupValue.Value,
Fields!FieldIsNumeric.Value,"dtsSelectedFields")=0,
Fields(Lookup(1, Fields!LookupValue.Value, Fields!FieldItem.Value,
"dtsSelectedFields")).Value,iif(Lookup(1, Fields!LookupValue.Value,
Fields!FieldIsNumeric.Value, "dtsSelectedFields")=0,
Fields!MV.Value,sum(Fields(Lookup(1, Fields!LookupValue.Value,
Fields!FieldItem.Value, "dtsSelectedFields")).Value)))
****edit 12/1/2015****
For additional clarity, I'm providing additional details. Below is 'dtsSelectedFields' dataset.
FieldItem_____LookupValue_____FieldIsNumeric
Item1Desc__________1__________________0
Item1Total__________2__________________1
Item2Desc__________3__________________0
Item2Total__________4__________________1
Let's say I have one column of data, and this column would first look for a LookupValue of 1. This would return the FieldItem, 'Item1Desc'. Because this field is not numeric, I would want to return the value of Item1Desc. However let's assume my first selection was actually 'Item1Total' and I don't want to return the non-numeric Item1Desc field. In this case, because 'FieldIsNumeric'=1 indicating a numeric field, I want to take the sum of this field.
Is it possible to nest an aggregating function in an IIF statement on only one part of an IIF statement? I.e. the true part or false part?
And if so, what am I doing wrong?
An example of the tablix:
sample layout
Column 1 Header____________Column 2 Header___________Column 3 Header
Column 1 Data______________Column 2 Data_____________Column 3 Data
Sample data
Product___________________Country of Origin_________________Units
ABC Envelopes___________________China______________________15
LMN Packets_____________________India_______________________30
In the example above, user selects 3 columns, 'Product', 'Country of Origin', and 'Units'. There are other fields available that would cause multiple rows if I grouped by them in the stored procedure (for example acquisition price). Based on the lookup I return the column description as a header. The row-level detail is described as above (e.g. Return the product name and country of origin, but sum up the units).
As a workaround for my issue above, I found an (ugly?) solution.
As mentioned above, a user can select any number of columns and the report organizes them in columns based on a predefined order according to a stored procedure. (E.g. a product description would come before the sum of the units if those two columns were chosen, but a product ID may come before the product description, but only if the ID was chosen.)
For every possible number of columns a user can select, I added two columns in the report (i.e. two for each field).
The first two columns will reference the lookupvalue=1. I then set the expression of each field in the detail to 1) a sum of the value, or 2) the value itself. I then set the column visibility to the results of the 'FieldIsNumeric' column. So the summed numeric column which would return an error for non-numeric data would be hidden when FieldIsNumeric=0, and the non-numeric column referencing the lookup value =1 would be shown, and vice versa.
Needless to say additional columns would follow the same logic in sets of two, each referencing the sequential lookup value (e.g. columns 3 and 4 would reference lookupvalue=2, columns 5 and 6 would reference lookupvalue=3, and so forth. Each column within the matching pair would be displayed or hidden based on the returned value of FieldIsNumeric in the same lookup dataset.
I'm definitely open to suggestions, but thought I'd post this as a workaround solution.
In SSRS 2008 R2, is it possible to have a parameter that looks for specific data inside a cell?
For example:
I have expression (Fields!input_criteria.Value) which contains multiple values separated by ;#
;#Action01;#Action02;#Action03;#Action04;#Action05;#
Depending on the row the cell can be populated with different combinations
Row 1 = ;#Action01;#Action04;#Action05;#
Row 5 = ;#Action01;#Action05;#
Row 7 = ;#Action03;#
...
I want to create a Parameter to filter the dataset by looking into Fields!input_criteria.Value and display the rows with the value selected
Available Values:
Action01
Action02
Action03
Action04
Action05
If I select Action01 from the Parameter drop down the report displays only Rows 1 and 5. If Action04 is selected only Row 1 is displayed.
Thanks in advance for the help!
You can set the filter on your dataset
1) Write custom code that will accept two parameters one is your parameter selected value separated by comma. You can join your values using
=Join(Parameters!input_criteria.Value.Value, ",")
second is your input_criteria field value
2) The method will split the parameter value and loop through the each value and and then using InStr it will determine if the calue is present in input_criteria field. If present then it will return true.
3) In filter set the expression as
= Code.Yourfunction(Join(Parameters!input_criteria.Value.Value, ","),Fields!input_criteria.Value)
4) In filter Set the operator to =
5) In filter Set the value to the True
That will filter all your records which contains your selected parameter values.
You can add the custom code in Report by going into menu bar options,
Report->Report Properties -> Code
You can just use Instr() function in your filter.
=InStr(Fields!input_criteria.Value,Parameter!param1.Value)

I have a ssrs report, that gives me multiple product's price. My Parameter is not drill down, I have to type in the parameters(since I have large range of product number).
Now my questions is, how can i get the last entered product ( parameter) always appear at the bottom of the report ?. This would help me where to look the latest product in the report.For example I have product numbers like:
abc-234,
abc-570,
ght-908,
Now what I want is that the latest entered product number which is ght-908 to appear at the bottom of the ssrs reports. Right now it gives me the report for the multiple product, but its all over the place and i have to squint my eyes and try to find out where my most recent entered product numbers (parameters) is. I have also tried to stop the parameters to being refreshed everytime i add a product number.
Assuming your parameter name is MyParameter, in report designer (BIDS) just drop a textbox onto report below the data (e.g. Table) and put following expression into its value's formula:
=Parameters!MyParameter.Value.Split(",")(Parameters!MyParameter.Value.Split(",").Length - 1)
it will split the parameter list and grab the last value
Update: here is the screenshot with steps:
And here is the runtime result
This expression works for me:
=Trim(Right(Parameters!Product_Number.Value
, InStr(StrReverse(Parameters!Product_Number.Value), ",") - 1))
Trim might not be strictly necessary but is useful as it will work if the values are split with spaces as well as commas, or not.
For example:
It sounds like you want to order the results of the stored procedure by the order of the product codes as they are typed into the report parameter (which is a comma separated list).
You can return the index (order) of each product code in the parameter by using the Array.IndexOf and Split functions, e.g.
If you have a report parameter called "ProductNumber" and you also have a field called "ProductNumber" returned in your dataset, the following code will return the zero-based index of the Product Number as entered into the parameter list:
=Array.IndexOf(
Split(Parameters!ProductNumber.Value.ToString(), ",")
, Fields!ProductNumber.Value
)
So if abc-234 is the first product number in the parameter list then this code will return 0. If abc-570 is the second product number in the parameter list then this code will return 1, etc.
Assuming the products are listed in a tablix, then I would set the tablix sort expression to the above, which should sort the products into the order specified in the report parameter.
I've got a table with 5 columns, the first 3 of which allow the user to drill down through the levels of detail. Each of these columns (Region, Country & Office) has an associated Parameter so the user can select the geographic region for their report. Each parameter allows the selection of multiple values.
If the user selects 1 Region, 1 Country and 1 Office it's not exactly ideal for them to then have to expand each selection. Is there an expression I can enter somewhere to state that if only 1 value is entered in a parameter then that data set will automatically show as expanded?
This is in SSRS 2008 R2 if that makes any difference.
In the Group Properties for the detail group you can enter an expression for the initial visibility. Right now you probably have that set to "Hide." The expression needs to return a Boolean and could be something like:
=Parameters!Country.Count <> 1
This will have SSRS hide those rows if more (or less) than one value are selected in the parameter Country
But I have seen some unexpected results with this: test thoroughly. In my experience, BIDS handles these better than SSRS itself, so just when you think you've got it all working, it fails miserably once deployed. (Reason number 14 to have a test folder on production SSRS.)
