Hey guys I have a many to many checkbox where a user can select many cities. I have a dropdown list above for selected state. I want to bring back only the regions that belong to that state that is selected.
thanks
Have you considered using a List and Details Screen instead of a dropdown list? You would just need to add both the states and cities tables to the advanced data section.
However, if you really need to use a drop down box, it is very complex but can be done.
You will need to begin a new search screen and lay it out as follows:
Create a group to start. You will need to 'add data item...' and choose Property, StateTable. Name this 'State' and add it to the group.
Create a second group. Again 'add data item...' Choose Query, CitiesTable (All). Name this StateCities. In the side panel, click 'edit query' next to StateCities and set it up as follows:
Return to your design screen by clicking the 'back to -screenname-' just above the filter statement. You should now see three bold items in the sidebar to the left. The first will be your StateTable, the second will be your StateCites query and the third will be your single State query.
Click the dropdown button for the StateCities query and you will see the query parameters at the bottom. You have a parameter called 'id'
Click on the Id parameter from the sidebar and change the parameter binding property (shown on the right hand side bar) to State.Id. If everything has been done correctly, this should hook up to your state query id field.
Once this is hooked up, you should be able to save your screen and run your program with the desired results!

I'm quite new to VBA and I've been looking around but cannot seem to find a solution to my problem.
I have made a navigation form (frmNavigation) with 3 buttons, each referring to a different form, let's call them frm1, frm2 and frm3. In the navigationform the control buttons to switch between tabs are all named differently (btn1, btn2, btn3), but the subform that shows either frm1, frm2, or frm3 has the same name: “NavigationSubform” (this shows a different form depending on which tab is clicked on, based on the 'navagation target name' referring to frm1, frm2 and frm3).
When I want to refer to a textbox (txtBox1) on form 1 (first tab) and insert a value i can do this by:
Forms!frmNavigation!NavigationSubform.Form!txtBox1.Value = "insert awesome text"
But how would I refer to txtbox10 on the second tab (frm2)? Just using the following does not work:
Forms!frmNavigation!NavigationSubform.Form!txtBox10.Value
You then get the error 2465 (can't find the field).
I’ve been trying many different things, but can’t seem to get it right. So how do I refer to a textbox on a different tab than the first one?
Help us much appreciated!
Only one subform can be loaded at once. So you've just got to break this process into two steps.
Store the value from txtBox1 somewhere outside of the NavigationSubforms (a textbox on the parent form with visible = no, a global variable or a table works).
In frm2's On Load event, set txtbox10 to be the value you stored.
Just note, that you will need to add conditions in the On Load event if you want to avoid that textbox being set to an empty string or a wrong value if you have a setup where your filter is changing.
I'm using Report Builder 2012 to create a report. I have inserted multiple text boxes and other controls inside a list box so that I can hide all the controls at once just by hiding the list box. I'm using a SQL Server stored procedure to fetch rows of data. I'm using below expression to hide/show the list box.
=iif(Fields!certificateType.Value = "CT", False, True)
It works fine but it only checks the first row of data. If certificateType field is "CT" in the first row of data, it shows the list box but it doesn't hide the list box back for the next row of data in which certificateType is not "CT". It seems like list box visibility only checks the first row of data and applies it for all the other rows as well. How can i check the visibility of list for all the data rows?
Okay, based on our chat I have updated this solution.
I mocked up some data that looks like this:
certificateType
---------------
AT
BT
CT
DT
ZT
I created a quick and dirty report with a list. In that, I added a rectangle with a textbox in it. I set the dataset for the list to the main dataset (DataSet1 in my case). I set the expression for the textbox to this:
=Fields!certificateType.Value
Image in design mode:
I clicked on the list, and in the Row Groups pane, I right-clicked the Details rows, and chose Group Properties. On the General section, I clicked Add to add a new group expression. Then I chose certificateType from the dropdown.
I moved to the Page Break section of the Group Properties dialog and ticked the Between each instance of a group check box. Click OK.
Now, the report will break for each instance of a certificate type that comes in the dataset. So, if you have ten different cert types in the data, you will get one page for each.
You can't see it in my image below, but there are 5 pages now.
Hope this helps!!
I have three product
like brand-1, brand-2, brand-3,
I want to setup in custom option like this.
if select brand-1 so second selection option visible liquid,
if select brand-2 so second selection option visible capsule,
if select brand-3 so second selection option visible tablet,
How to set this type of values please give me full information.
It took me hours of searching and putting together piecemeal parts to find the solution to this, so I figured I'd post it on here in the hopes of helping someone else.
The Problem: We need to display a report, with proper grouping and drilldowns. However, we should only allow one group to be drilled down at one time.
SSRS doesn't exactly have robust scripting options - for instance, you can't close other groups "on click" or anything like that. So how do you do it?
In My example i'm using the AdventureworksDW database. I want to have a dataset that includes the total sales for each group and region. My Stored Procedure looks something like this:
SELECT dst.SalesTerritoryGroup,
dst.SalesTerritoryRegion,
SUM(fis.SalesAmount) AS SaleTotal,
DATEPART(YEAR,fis.OrderDate) AS OrderYear
FROM [dbo].FactInternetSales AS fis
INNER JOIN [dbo].DimSalesTerritory AS dst
ON fis.SalesTerritoryKey = dst.SalesTerritoryKey
WHERE fis.OrderDate < #QueryEndDate
GROUP BY
dst.SalesTerritoryGroup,
dst.SalesTerritoryRegion,
DATEPART(YEAR,fis.OrderDate)
UNION ALL /*The ResellerSales table. Same info.*/
From there I added a table with two groups: SalesTerritoryRegion and its parent, SalesTerritoryGroup. I also added a column to the left INSIDE the SalesTerritoryGroup, with an X (this can also be an image if you'd like). This is the "Drilldown" button that we'll use.
Create a string parameter, mine was #ExpandedGroup. Set the Default to an empty string (so that all the groups start out collapsed). Right click on the SalesTerritoryRegion group, or whatever your subgroup is, and go to the visibility tab. Click "Show or Hide based on Expression" and enter something like this:
=iif(Parameters!ExpandedGroup.Value="" or
Fields!SalesTerritoryGroup.Value<>Parameters!ExpandedGroup.Value,True,False)
This statement means: If we haven't opened a dropdown, or if the dropdown isn't the one selected, set hidden to true. Otherwise, false.
Next click on your "X" column to the left of SalesTerritoryGroup or your supergroup. Right click to go to Textbox Properties. Click the action tab. From there select "Go to Report". When you specify a report, make the target itself (For instance, mine is Main). Then, add parameters to the report.
The most important here is ExpandedGroup. The name should be ExpandedGroup, but the value is not just [ExpandedGroup]. Instead, it's an expression:
=IIF(Fields!SalesTerritoryGroup.Value=Parameters!ExpandedGroup.Value,
"",
Fields!SalesTerritoryGroup.Value)
This expression says: If the Group is the same as the Expanded group, make ExpandedGroup an empty string when you load the report. Otherwise, send the TerritoryGroup value. Essentially, this will let us toggle on and off the drilldown (same as you would in the report if you had traditional drilldowns).
Note: Also be sure to pass other parameters! For instance, my query requires a date to exclude some transaction data. If you don't pass this parameter in the "Go to Report" action, then you'll have to enter it again when you DrillDown. This also means you can give yourself even more flexibility when you click a drilldown (changing a chart that's displayed etc.) which is what I'm doing for this project.
Hope it helps someone out! Of course, if there is a more elegant or simpler solution I'd absolutely love to hear it.
I have a two forms: "Cover" and "Form_1".
I have two comboboxes in "COVER". One contains a list of years and the second contains a list of names. The first one is of type Number and the second one is Text.
On the "Cover" there is a button which takes takes you to "Form_1" upon a button click.
"Form_1" contains the same two dropdown menus from "COVER" and it stores the exact values chosen from "CoveR".
The problem:
The problem is that it should be able to filter out specific data upon choosing specific values from the dropdown menus and then save. But it saves the chosen values from the dropmenu first and then filters out the data. So, the same data appears for 2011 and 2012.
It should be able to filter about the specific data first and then save.
Is there any way of doing this? for example, creating a "save" button so that it only saves upon a button click?
I think i figured out the solution:
Just link the fields to the comboboxes on click.
stLinkCriteria = "[Program_Name]='" & Me![Combo2] & "' AND [BudgetYear]=" & Me![Combo0]
