Adding from two different reportitems - reporting-services

I am trying to add from two separate text boxes from different datasets I had to create a code to summarize (codes below) giving a total. What I am trying to do is get GapTotal + GapTotal2 together into a separate dataset. Unfortunately I get a blank. Can anyone help? Thank you in advance
Public GapTotal AS Integer = 0
Public Function Sum(ByVal Value As Integer) As Integer
GapTotal = GapTotal + Value
Return Value
End Function
Public GapTotal2 AS Integer = 0
Public Function SumIt(ByVal Value As Integer) As Integer
GapTotal2 = GapTotal2 + Value
Return Value
End Function

There are two possible approaches l can think of here.
First reference the values in each dataset and add the values see this posting - Stack Overflow posting
Second place the values from each data into a control eg a text box, then add the values in each text box see - SQL Server Central posting

% Variance change in Matrix SSRS

Hi I am trying to include Variance in my SSRS matrix for Percentages on a month by month basis.
This is what I want to achieve:
the expression I am trying to use which I have got from a forum is as follows:
=ReportItems!Textbox15.Value - Code.GetPreviousValue(ReportItems!Textbox15.Value)
And this references custom code again from the same forum as follows:
Private previousValue As Integer = 0
Public Function GetPreviousValue(ByVal runningValue) As Integer
Dim temp As Integer = previousValue
previousValue = runningValue
Return temp
End Function
My issue is this does not work for the variance between April and May for example giving me results that are incorrect.
To be clear April% and May% figures are correct but the variances do not appear as in my example. When I check them they are incorrect.
If I alter the (variance) query so instead of taking the query that calculates the % I just calculate variance between the numerator of April% and numerator of May%, variances are correct.
I think the issue is that percentages don't go through the custom code portion correctly. Could this be due to the fact that this works according to INT?
I appreciate this may be as clear as mud... Struggling a bit to explain my problem. Thanks
Yes the integer makes the problem, because you have values with dots (97.3, 91.8, etc...). When these values get converted to integer, they lose the right decimal places. Just replace the datatype in your function like this:
Private previousValue As Double = 0
Public Function GetPreviousValue(ByVal runningValue) As Double
Dim temp As Double = previousValue
previousValue = runningValue
Return temp
End Function

Can I store the same option value for more than one toggle button in a control box?

I have a list of questions each with 4 possible answers that are displayed as toggle buttons on my form. What I want to do is if the user chooses either of the first two buttons, the Option Value stored is "1", if they choose either of the last two buttons, the Option Value stored should be "0". The option values must be different for each toggle button in a control group. Is there a way to recode the toggle buttons to store the desired response? (I work in psychology, thus the bait and switch of offering 4 choices to the user when really only two responses are recorded).
Here is what I have tried:
I tried thinking about a recode as jcarroll suggested, but this is a circular reference:
Private Sub Q1_Click()
If Me.Q1 = 1 Or 2 Then
Me.Q1 = 1
Else:
Me.Q1 = 0
End If
End Sub
I could recode into another variable but that is just as clunky as using a SQL statement on the data post-hoc, for instance:
NewVariable=Iif([Q1]=1,1,iif([Q1]=2,1,0)
Finally, I tried to code have both toggle buttons have the same Option Value (which causes both to look pressed if either is pressed) and recode the unpressed toggle button's back color. But while my code looks correct to me, this did not change the pressed color of the toggle button (which I think has to do with over riding toggle button design settings):
Private Sub Frame5_Click()
If Toggle8.Value = True Then
Toggle9.BackColor = &HFF00&
Else
Toggle9.BackColor = &H8000000F
End If
End Sub
I could not come up with any programming solutions on the form itself to solve this. The alternative is that I wrote a procedure to apply to the data after it is collected which will be stored as 1,2,3,4 to convert it to 0 or 1. This procedure also sums up the 1's. I have 50 variables/questions that will be passed through this procedure (as well as another like it that converts 3&4 to 1).
Public Function Recode1(ParamArray arg()) As Variant
Dim Size As Integer, skips As Integer, i As Integer, result As Variant
'Recodes first two toggle buttons as "1" for AQ assessment
Size = UBound(arg) + 1
For i = 0 To Size - 1
If IsNull(arg(i)) Or Not (IsNumeric(arg(i))) Or arg(i) = -99 Then
skips = skips + 1
Else
If arg(i) = 1 Or arg(i) = 2 Then
result = result + 1
Else:
result = result + 0
End If
End If
End sub

How to display correct page number in body of ssrs(In every page of the output)

i Placed this code in my report property code
Public Function PageNumber() as String
Dim str as String
str = Me.Report.Globals!PageNumber.ToString()
Return str
End Function
and called in my text box in body of report Like this
=Code.PageNumber()
It was not able to repeat textbox on each page.
It is showing the page number as 1 only on first page.
need to show pagenumber in each page of the output in body of the report
Kindly help me on this if u have any solution.
First Follow the steps 1 below to do pagination:
1)
1.1. Click the Details group in the Row Groups pane.
1.2. From the Tablix member Properties pane, expand “Group”-> “PageBreak”.
1.3. Set the “BreakLocation” to “End” and set the “Disable” property to the expression like below:
=IIF(rownumber(nothing) mod 40=0,false,true)
The above point 1 is use to do pagination in Report output(Display only 40 records per page in output)
2) use custom code:
Public Function PageNumberno(val as integer) as String
Dim str as String
str =(val/40)
Return str
End Function
3) Create Calculated column in Dataset and enter =0 in expression
4) In 2 Calculated Column
1)Pageno
2)No in Dataset
In Report Body use Expression for PageNo :
=code.PageNumberno(Rownumber("DataSet1"))
use Expression for No :
=IIF(Instr(code.PageNumberno(Rownumber("DataSet1"))
,".")<>0,
(Left(code.PageNumberno(Rownumber("DataSet1")),
(Instr(code.PageNumberno(Rownumber("DataSet1")),".")-1))+1)
,code.PageNumberno(Rownumber("DataSet1"))
)
5)Right click and insert column on Right Side and in Column name add code in Text box
=ReportItems!No.Value
Note: No is calculated Field column name.
6)Under AdvancedMode
IN Row Group select Static and Set RepeatOnNewPage Properties to True
In the Above Column created under point 5 will display correct page no in every page in body of the report
I have Tried and its working Fine..Try it.
I usually put a text box in the footer of the report (which will automatically display on every page) with the following line of code in it (no report property code needed):
="Page " & CStr(Globals!PageNumber) & " of " & CStr(Globals!TotalPages)

How do I keep colors consistent from chart to chart in Reporting Services 2005?

I created a custom color palette for my charts using a technique described on TechNet.
I also have a series of drill-through column charts, where you click on one column and it passes a parameter through to the next chart and so on, giving the appearance of drill-down.
My graphs consist of 3 types of labor, and have three colors on the main chart. When I drill down to the next chart, some of the categories do not have all three types of labor that the main one has. So the first color in the palette is assigned to the series, even though it was the second color on the previous chart. I'd like to avoid this, if possible.
So a data value is green on the first chart (2nd in the color order) and yellow on the next chart (1st in the color order). How do I make the graphs "remember" the total number of series groups that were in the first chart?
This is Reporting Services 2005.
You cannot fix this using custom colour palettes.
What you can do is assign the labour type a colour in the database (using HEX is easiest). Then pass that in in your data set. Then set the color property to you hex value.
Unfortunately this is not possible. I've been looking for this for quite some time...
I was able to solve this because I was using a custom color palette, implemented as a hash table. I basically serialized this information and passed it to a hidden parameter on the subreport and then reinflated the data structure.
It's not perfect, but it works for now.
' Define some globals, including the color palette '
Private colorPalette As String() = _
{"#FFF8A3", "#A9CC8F", "#B2C8D9", "#BEA37A", "#F3AA79", "#B5B5A9", "#E6A5A4", _
"#F8D753", "#5C9746", "#3E75A7", "#7A653E", "#E1662A", "#74796F", "#C4384F", _
"#F0B400", "#1E6C0B", "#00488C", "#332600", "#D84000", "#434C43", "#B30023"}
' color palette pulled from SAP guidelines '
' http://www.sapdesignguild.org/resources/diagram_guidelines/color_palettes.html '
Private count As Integer = 0
Private colorMapping As New System.Collections.Hashtable()
' Create a custom color palette '
Public Function GetColor(ByVal groupingValue As String) As String
If colorMapping.ContainsKey(groupingValue) Then
Return colorMapping(groupingValue)
End If
Dim c As String = colorPalette(count Mod colorPalette.Length)
count = count + 1
colorMapping.Add(groupingValue, c)
Return c
End Function
' In custom actions of the data value, set the results of this '
' function to the mapping parameter in the next report '
Public Function PassColorMapping() As String
If colorMapping.Count = 0 Then
Return Nothing
End If
Try
' convert the hashtable to an array so it can be serialized '
Dim objHash As Object()() = ToJaggedArray(colorMapping)
' serialize the colorMapping variable '
Dim outStream As New System.IO.StringWriter()
Dim s As New System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer(GetType(Object()()))
s.Serialize(outStream, objHash)
' move on to the next report '
Return outStream.ToString()
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.Message)
End Try
End Function
I ran into an issue where I couldn't find the equivalent of the onLoad event for the report. Since I wasn't sure where to put this inflate code, I stuck it in the background color of the plot area. Hence I always return "WhiteSmoke". I'll change this if I can find the right place to put it.
' Call this function when the report loads to get the series groups '
' that have already been loaded into the custom color palette '
' Pass in the parameter used to store the color mapping '
Public Function InflateParamMapping(ByVal paramMapping As Parameter) As String
Try
If paramMapping.Value Is Nothing Then
Return "WhiteSmoke"
ElseIf colorMapping.Count = 0 Then
Dim pXmlized As String = paramMapping.Value
' deserialize the mapping parameter '
Dim s As New System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer(GetType(Object()()))
' get the jagged array and convert to hashtable '
Dim objHash As Object()() = DirectCast(s.Deserialize(New System.IO.StringReader(pXmlized)), Object()())
' stick the result in the global colorMapping hashtable '
colorMapping = ToHashTable(objHash)
count = colorMapping.Count
End If
Catch ex As Exception
' MsgBox(ex.Message) '
End Try
Return "WhiteSmoke"
End Function
ToJaggedArray() and ToHashTable() are helper functions because a HashTable is not serializable since they implement an IDictionary. I was in a hurry so I just converted them to an array right quick. Code comes from the Collection Serialization in ASP.NET Web
Services article written by Mark Richman. I converted the code from C# to VB.NET to use in the report.
Public Function ToJaggedArray(ByVal ht As System.Collections.HashTable) As Object()()
Dim oo As Object()() = New Object(ht.Count - 1)() {}
Dim i As Integer = 0
For EAch key As Object in ht.Keys
oo(i) = New Object() {key, ht(key)}
i += 1
Next
Return oo
End Function
Public Function ToHashTable(ByVal oo As Object()()) As System.Collections.HashTable
Dim ht As New System.Collections.HashTable(oo.Length)
For Each pair As Object() In oo
Dim key As Object = pair(0)
Dim value As Object = pair(1)
ht(key) = value
Next
Return ht
End Function
Now in the report itself you need to do a couple things.
Add a reference to System.Xml in Report Properties in both reports.
In the Actions of your parent report, set the Parameter containing your data structure to =Code.PassColorMapping()
In the Plot Area section of your report, put this expression for the background: =Code.InflateParamMapping(Parameters!colorMapping)
And of course, in the Fill for your data Series Style on both charts put this expression: =Code.GetColor(Fields!Type.Value)
You can continue doing this for as many subreports as you want - I currently have 3 levels of drill-through and it works fine.
I solved that extremely easy.
In my parent report I have lets say 12 series fields, each one getting their own color in a chart, on my child report I just keep all series on the chart, for instance going from a column chart to a line chart using drill down, but I control the visibility of them...
So in the child report in Series Properties -> Visibility I just add an expression:
=(Fields!ContentType.Value <> Parameters!ContentType.Value)
This way the report only keeps the visibility of the clicked value and hides all the others and the colors remains the same :)

Dynamic Columns

Here's my problem. I am passing in a parameter let say it's called ShapesSelected.
ShapeSelected = ",Square, Triangle, Circle,".
The problem is ShapeSelected could be any of the the shapes so it is never static.
Base on this parameter I want to add 3 column to the right of a table in the report. Is this possible? I've starting coding it in Custom Code in Report Properties but I am stuck as in how to add the column.
Public Function GetReportShapes( ByVal ShapesSelected As String )
Dim Shapes() As String
Dim result As String
Dim i As Integer
Entities = Split(ShapesSelected ,", ")
For i = 0 To UBound ( Shapes)
Select case Shapes(i)
case "Square": 'add Square Column here
case "Rectangle": add Rectange Column here
case "Triangle": add Triangle Column here
End Select
Next i
End Function
Thus rendering the columns like this:
Square Triangle Circle
Add all the columns you need and use the hidden or visible property (I forget which) with vb expressions to turn them on and off.
