I have this expression I would like to change the results to Percent
=""""& INT(Fields!Field.Value*100)/100 & """"
as now the results display .98 and I would like to see 98%
Right click your column and select "Text Box Properties..."
You'll notice a tab called "Number". Click on that tab.
You'll notice a list of categories. One of those categories is called "Percentage". Click on that category.
This will automatically change your value to a percentage. For example, if your value is 0.98, it will show as 98%.
Hope this helps!

One of my columns has a value that looks like this -> "$5.95 (Park costs)"
and I need to display the value in column in SSRS report like this:
$5.95
(Park costs)
but font size of "(Park costs)" must be smaller than the price.
Is something like that even possible? To somehow make text that does not contain a number, dot or dollar sign smaller?
You can do this. You'll need to split up each component of the text column and then place each half in a placeholder. You can then format each placeholder individually.
This solution assumes that your column always contains a "(". If not you should be able to modify it to suit.
I Generated some test data and and placed it in a normal table (tablix) control.
I then added some new columns for testing that each part was working as expected.
The expression for "Cost" column is
=TRIM(LEFT(Fields!MyColumn.Value,InStr(Fields!MyColumn.Value, "(") -1))
The expression for the "Caption" column is
=TRIM(RIGHT(Fields!MyColumn.Value, LEN(Fields!MyColumn.Value) - InStr(Fields!MyColumn.Value, "(") + 1))
Once this was working OK I added the "Final Column".
To add a placeholder, click inside the textbox so the cursor appears then right-click and choose "Create Placeholder"
I added two placeholders with a space between then and set the values to the expressions above respectively. I then right clicked the placeholders chose "Placeholder Properties" and formatted each individually.
The final output looks like this. (I left the test columns in for clarity)
Would like to have some text in my report like the following where the percentage is based on an expression. I would like to know how to work out the percentage.
60% of letters were sent with a first class stamp
This is an example of the figures I'm working with
First Class 300
Second Class 150
Other 50
The fields used are 'StampType' and 'RefNo'. The totals are gathered by a count on the 'RefNo'
To do this, do the following steps.
First, add a new Text Box to the report. Click inside the text box so the cursor shows inside. Right-click and choose Create Placeholder.... Enter the following expression for the Value field.
=Lookup("First Class", Fields!StampType.Value, Fields!RefNo.Value, "ReportMain") / Sum(Fields!RefNo.Value, "ReportMain")
This assumes the dataset name that is returning your data is named ReportMain. Change this if needed.
This looks up the First Class RefNo value from the dataset, and then divides that by the total of the RefNo in the dataset.
Go to the Number section of the dialog, change the Category to Percentage. Adjust the Decimal places to your liking. Click OK.
Type the text you want to follow that value after the placeholder (not in the placeholder) in the text box. Like this:
Preview the report, and you should have what you need.
I have certain product codes with varying number of letters/digits e.g. 53HD6J, HH88WBD3 (varies between 5 to 10 letters/digits). In order for our barcode to scan these correctly there has to be 13 letters/digits. I don't want to make the user to input -XXXX after each code but rather have Access calculate the difference between 13 and the length of the code and fill the remaining with a X's. Is this possible either by vba or and expression?
I currently am using about 6 IIFs in one formula to fill remaining blanks with X's but hoping there is an easier way.
I have a form to enter in the batch number (product code). Once that form is submitted it links to a report that is printed. On the report are those batch numbers (53HD6J, HH88WBD3). The spot I want to have this feature is in a text box right next to the codes where Access determines the length of the codes and computes the remaining X's to add. This is in barcode font so this text box is where the 53HD6JXXXXXXX would go. Hope that clears it up!
So I have that part figured out. My problem now is my barcode font reads the text no matter what and translates it still so barcode shows up when the batch number is blank (I have four spots for batch codes to be inputted). So what I had before was =IIf([Text31]="",""&[Text31]&"","") which seemed to work. Hopefully I can continue this with the new formula. If that's unclear let me know.
**(The "" & & "" is so the barcode can be scanned).
My formula was wrong right above with the IIf. I figured it out! Forgot I had used ' Like "*" '. Thanks!
You can do what you want with String() and Left().
Here is an example from the Access Immediate window:
product_code = "53HD6J"
? product_code & String(13, "X")
53HD6JXXXXXXXXXXXXX
? Left(product_code & String(13, "X"), 13)
53HD6JXXXXXXX
Based on the update to your question, I think you can use that approach for the Control Source of a text box where you want to display the "expanded" product code.
Pretend your report has a text box named txtProduct_code where the raw product code, such as 53HD6J, is displayed. And there is a second text box where you want to display that value with the required number of X characters (53HD6JXXXXXXX).
Use this as the Control Source property of that second text box:
= Left([txtProduct_code] & String(13, "X"), 13)
Alternatively, you could make it a field expression in the report's Record Source query.
SELECT
product_code,
Left(product_code & String(13, "X"), 13) AS expanded_product_code
FROM YourTable;
I am trying to add Totals to at the end for many columns,but when i right click on the box Add Total is Greyed out,How can i enable ADD Totals?
thanks in advance
At the extreme bottom in visual studios you have your groups listed.
Right click on the group name for which you want to add the total. Go to Add Total -> After .
Refer to the image below :
If "Add Total" is greyed out, right click on your package and choose "View Code."
Search for the field you want to total.
In my case this field was defined as
<rd:UserDefined>true</rd:UserDefined>
even though the underlying datatype was an int.
Replaced this with
<rd:TypeName>System.Int32</rd:TypeName>
The "Add Total" option will be enabled.
So I have two combo boxes, box1 and box2. The requirement from within SSRS is if box1 is selected set Box2 to None and if box2 is selected then set box1 to none. Now I don't think this is possible because you can only cascade parameters in one direction. Otherwise you get forward dependencies are not valid.
But the question becomes can I validate the boxes when they click View Report to display a msgbox saying Please either choose box1 or box 2 but not both
Note: I am still working in 2005.
As far as I know, View button code cannot be accessed. As a workaround, you can do the following:
Add a textbox in your report and let the text be something like "Please enter either cmb1 or cmb2" .
Now from the Database check if both Values are entered. If yes, just return the columns in your select statement as NULLs or specify a value e.g. EMP_NO = 9999.
In your report if the returned value for EMP_NO is 9999 by checking FIRST(fields!xx.value ) = 9999 you can determine what did the user enter.
Add an condition to the textbox visibility checking if the value is 9999 or not, do the same for other items in the report to hide them and just show the textbox.
This can be used for other validations as well.
