I have table named post in which there is a column called visible_user_ids in which comma separated values are there. When I display the post by respective user then I used the FIND_IN_SET().
e.g. FIND_IN_SET('8','visible_user_ids') it shows the all the records from post table for user id 8 when visible_user_ids column contains comma separated user ids such as
3,5,8
8,5
8,1,12
etc.
but when visible_user_ids column contain only one value i.e. 8 then it does not display the post table record.
Please suggest a solution. Whether FIND_IN_SET() works for single value?
Instead of
FIND_IN_SET('8','visible_user_ids')
Try this
FIND_IN_SET('8',visible_user_ids)

Would you help me, please, to retrieve column name by query.
In the report I want to show columns by condition.
I created a parameter #cols, which contains the list of column names (multiple values are allowed).
In column visibility/show or hide based on expression I added:
=IIF(InStr(Join(Parameters!cols.Value, “,”), “My_col_name”)=0, true, false)
This works perfectly, but for each column I should insert in the row above the original column instead "My_col_name".
Since my report has hundreeds of columns, it looks annoyying.
Is there a method to simplify this task? E.g. to insert instead "My_col_name" some expression, which shows selected column name?
Thank you.
I'm not sure if this is possible but I have a small MySql database that is used with a call screener app for my PBX.. I can add single numbers such as (555) 123-4567, however I would like to enter in entire blocks of numbers like (555) 123-???? so that any number calling from the numbers (555) 123-0000 through (555) 123-9999 would be selected in one entry. I know you can use wildcards in queries etc., but can they be used inside row or column fields?
I think that should work, if you reverse the parameters of like. So if you have a table with 'number masks' to match with (assuming some table and column names here), it could look like this:
select * from NumberMasks m where :CallerNumber like m.Mask
For clarity: :CallerNumber is the phone number of the caller. NumberMasks is just an assumed name for the table, where Mask would be the column containing the mask to match with in the form of (555) 123-???? as specified in the question.
I am trying to concatenate a designator field that combines my autonumbered index field with the first 3 characters of my group field
Index field automatically incremented current Highest index +1
I have another field that needs to Join the first 3 characters of my group field with the index field
example
Index: 1008
Group: ABM Support
Designator: (Desired result) 1008ABM
I get an error in the InfoPath form when I try to use:
concat((LEFT(Group,3), Index)
Expected value type: )
Actual value: ,
concat((LEFT(../my:Group,3)-->,<-- ../my:Index)
I have two Items I need to combine as a Designator for a SharePoint list. I have been able to auto increment the Index number, and I need to combine the index and first 3 characters of the group field to create the designator. I realize now I cannot use a concatenate string i.e. concatenate(LEFT(Group,3), Index). The problem lies that there are no common consistent characters to set a substring statement up. I was thinking to Add a default space at the beginning of the input and use that but not really sure how to go about that. Please advise if that would work and how to go about it.
Solution:
Concat(Substring(1,3),Index)
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.
I am using the 'concatenate related' module created by Allen Browne to concatenate rows into a single field. At first I had a lookup field at the table level and later realized this is not a good approach. So I deleted the lookup column and instead made a query for selecting values from the lookup table on my form and then store that value as a number in the table.
The module works when I concatenate the values but it is listing the number (id) whereas I would like the actual description (i.e. 1 = Red, 2 = Blue, etc.)
My SQL query code is as follows:
SELECT DISTINCT
tblCompany.JobID,
concatrelated("type","tblMonitor","JobID = " & [jobID]) AS Expr1
FROM tblCompany;
I would like "type" to display the description instead of the number. I know if I store my lookup value as text instead of number it will work. But for efficiency it seems the number should be stored in the table and then query for the description when you need it....or maybe text is fine??? I'm guessing I would need to add the lookup table to this query. I have tried but with no luck so far.
Create a query which joins tblMonitor with the table which holds the type description field. Then use that query with ConcatRelated.
ConcatRelated("type_descriptn","YourQuery","JobID = " & [jobID])
