Apologies in advance if question is too basic. I searched but couldn't find anything specifically applicable to reporting services.
I'm working on a report that's currently returning the full value that's being queried.
Currently, the expression for that text field is
=Fields!VarName.Value
What I'm looking to do is return only the last four with a set of *s to represent whatever the preceding digits are. Even though the number of digits is going to vary, it's not important that I match digit for digit, so I'm fine with just inserting a set number of *s and then the last four. I figured this would be easier. I've tried this:
="*****" & Right(Fields!VarName.Value,4)
That returns the stars, but not the actual values. Am I just completely off the mark on how to get those last four numbers?
"Right(RTRIM(Fields!VarName.Value),4)" Was the correct answer.

I have a column in google sheet in which each cell contains this type of text
manager, finance manager
accountant
accountant, chief accountant
manager, auditor, other, finance manager
accountant
I want to find the longest text like below and show that text into new cell
finance manager
accountant
chief accountant
finance manager
accountant
I used split function to split the text and find function but finding character or number of character is working but i am unable to understand how i will get whole longest word
Kindly help me.
An alternative would be to use
=FILTER(TRIM(SPLIT(A1, ",")), LEN(SPLIT(A1, ",")) = MAX(LEN(SPLIT(A1, ","))))
and fill down as far as needed.
Suppose your comma-separated lists reside in A2:A. Place the following in, say, B2 of an otherwise empty range B2:B ...
=ArrayFormula(IF(A2:A="",,TRIM(REGEXEXTRACT(A2:A,"[^,]{"®EXEXTRACT(TRIM(TRANSPOSE(QUERY(TRANSPOSE(IF(REGEXMATCH(A2:A,"[^,]{"&SEQUENCE(1,30,30,-1)&"}")=FALSE,,SEQUENCE(1,30,30,-1))),,30))),"\S+")*1&"}"))))
This is a complex formula, one that would be difficult to explain. So I will leave it to you (and others who may be interested) to dissect, analyze and understand the inner workings. However, if there is a specific question I can answer should you (or others) get stuck, feel free to ask.
In short, the formula checks to see if there are any REGEX matches for non-comma groupings of 30 characters in length, then 29, 28 and so on to 1. If so, that number is returned in a space-separated list. The first number (which will be the highest) is returned and used to extract a non-comma REGEX expression of that exact length (which then has any leading or trailing spaces removed from it).
if your text is stored in column A, you can use this formula:
=hlookup(max(arrayformula(len(trim(split(A1,","))))), {arrayformula(len(trim(split(A1,","))));arrayformula(trim(split(A1,",")))},2,False)
Second option is to write a custom function.
I have a field in SSRS that returns the value of numbers varying from ## to #######. I want these numbers to be separated by thousands. I have seen a few posts saying you could use this:
=Format(Fields!Number.Value,"#,#.##")
However, I have this textbox to display data from a different dataset, like:
=First(Fields!Price.Value, "DataSet3")
Now, the question is how do I combine both? Is it possible to wrap it like this:
=Format(First(Fields!Price.Value, "DataSet3"),"#,#.##")
If I do this and run the report then the output on the text field is just #,#.## and not the actual number itself.
Input: 100000000
Output that I expect: 100,000,000
Output that I get: #,#.##
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!
This is definitely some weird functionality. I didn't figure out exactly what was causing it, but I found that adding a datatype cast to the expression resolved the issue.
=FORMAT(CDec(First(Fields!XYZColumn.Value, "ZYXTable")), "#,#.##")
I created a MS Access database for tracking some items at work. Users enter data which is then aggregated in queries (using count or sum) to calculate the actual value for each area, joined using UNION, then compared to goals for that area. I attempted to enter an IIF statement to conditionally calculate the percentage of [Act]/[Goal], leaving it zero if [Act] is blank or 1 if [Act] is greater than [Goal] so there is nothing over 100%. The issue is that it works most of the time, but other times fails with no obvious logic error or reason why that I can figure out.
Sometimes it can't tell that [Act] > [Goal] even though looking at it, it's obvious. The numbers are all integers, nothing crazy or formatting differences. The formula in [Met] is what I hope to achieve. I added the [TEST] field to trace back where it might not be working, which shows Access just isn't always returning the correct answer to [Act] > [Goal].
My Query:
What comes out (just the broken part):
As you can see, it works correctly for most rows, but then thinks 149 is less than 52, and 128 is less than 3. Because of this, it generates [Met] values over 100%.
Has anyone had this happen before or have any suggestions? I have tried using refresh, clicking in the cell to hit enter, everything I can think of.
I think that although your columns are Ints, they are being converted to strings in the variables (or at least one of the variables) Goal and Met.
If you look at the data, you'll see that if you compare them the results of Test are correct for a string comparison.
E.g. "3" > "128" (Because the first character has a higher char value).
In your query, try surrounding the variables with Val() when you are comparing them, as follows:
IIf(IsNull([Act]),0,IIf(Val([Act])>Val([Goal]),1,Round([Act]/[Goal],2)))
I have a column in my access database table, I ran a query to make it proper case by using StrConv([MyColumn],3) but last two letters are state names and this query makes SOmeThing, soMethINg, NY to Something, Something, Ny,
I want the result as Something, Something, NY
Is there a another query I can run after to capitalize last letter?
You can use:
UcaseLast: Left([YourColumn], Len([YourColumn]) - 1) & UCase(Right([YourColumn], 1))
Well, most people would tell you to store your 'address', 'city', and 'state' as separate fields. Then you Proper Case each separately and concatenate them together. If you can do that... that is your best approach.
If this is a database or file that's been tossed at you and you can't make the field/table changes... it's still possible to get your desired results. However, you better make sure all strings end with your state code. Also make sure you don't have foreign addresses since Canadian (and other countries) use more that two letters for the province code at the end.
But if you are sure all records contain two letter state abbreviations, you can continue with the following:
MyColumnAdj: StrConv(Mid([MyColumn],1,len([MyColumn])-2),3) + StrConv(right([MyColumn],2),1)
This takes the midstring of your [MyColumn] from position 1 to the length of your [MyColumn] minus 2 (leaving off the state code) and it Proper Case's it all.
It then concatenates (using the plus sign) to a rightstring of [MyColumn] for a length of 2 and Upper Case's it.
Once again, this is dangerous if the field doesn't have the State Code consistently at the end of the string.
Best of luck. Hope this helps. :)
I'm trying to merge multiple JSON data sets into one large data set, due to a max limit of 100 on the server I'm pulling them from.
The easiest way to do this would be to eliminate the end of one set and the beginning of the next and replace it with "," so that there would be only one open and close to the entire large set. This is what appears between the last entry of one set and the first entry of the next currently:
],"version":"1.0"}{"error":"OK","limit":100,"offset":100,"number_of_page_results":100,
"number_of_total_results":20235,"status_code":1,"results":[
Again, I need that entire string replaced with just a comma, but the problem I'm encountering is that I had to change the offset between each data set to grab the next 100 entries, so the "offset":100, is different in each string ("offset":200, "offset":300, etc.). I can't seem to get wildcards to cooperate. I suspect it has something to do with all the brackets that are already in the string.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
A regular expression that matches the whole input you provided (provided there's no new line characters) is:
\],"version":"1\.0"\}\{"error":"OK","limit":[0-9]+,"offset":[0-9]+,"number_of_page_results":[0-9]+,"number_of_total_results":[0-9]+,"status_code":[0-9]+,"results":\[
It will get any digits in place off all the numbers in your sample (except version).
