I have a table that with a cell that may contain one of several defined words (such as "piping" or "containment"). I want to display a phrase specific to the word based on the word in my table. So if the table says piping, want the section of my report to say "...the piping in this area..." a null value would return specific text as well.
What about a CASE statement? Something like this:
CASE {column}
WHEN 'Piping' THEN 'Piping in this area'
WHEN 'Containment' THEN 'Etc....'
END AS "Project status?"

I have a sample list of student and grades/subject in this file
enter image description here
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NeHlUaRnbvdJ2yJ38fUETGgBoYseQ8CuXmwRCwObAlM/edit#gid=0
On the range A16:A I'd like to see the list of names who has the grades of around 90-100 when I check any of the checkbox on B15:k15
the first example is when I check all of the boxes
I will only see the first name on the list because he is the only one with the 90-100 scores on all subject
2nd example when I check B15 and C15
I will only see the 1st and 2nd names on the list because he's those who only able to get a 90-100 score on those two subjects.
Is there a way to do this kind of filtering? thank you so much
Since this is your first post, I'm going to go with the approach I think you'll find easiest to understand. It's a long formula (which I've placed in a new sheet called "Erik Help" in A16), but it's just a repeat of the same element several times:
=FILTER(A2:K11, IF(B15=TRUE, B2:B11>=90, B2:B11^0), IF(C15=TRUE, C2:C11>=90, B2:B11^0), IF(D15=TRUE, D2:D11>=90, D2:D11^0), IF(E15=TRUE, E2:E11>=90, E2:E11^0), IF(F15=TRUE, F2:F11>=90, F2:F11^0), IF(G15=TRUE, G2:G11>=90, G2:G11^0), IF(H15=TRUE, H2:H11>=90, H2:H11^0), IF(I15=TRUE, I2:I11>=90, I2:I11^0), IF(J15=TRUE, J2:J11>=90, J2:J11^0), IF(K15=TRUE, K2:K11>=90, K2:K11^0))
The first argument of FILTER tells the function what to filter (in this case A2:K11).
After that, an IF statement is set up to check each checkbox. If the checkbox is checked, the FILTER will only include students who obtained a 90 or higher in that subject.
If the checkbox is NOT checked, then the student is automatically included (that's the part that says "B2:B11^0" etc., since anything to the zero-power equals 1, and 1 and TRUE are the same to Google Sheets). In other words, if no checkboxes were checked, then all students would read TRUE for all subjects, i.e., all students would be included (or, to think of it another way, no one is rules out). While the ^0 is not strictly necessary (i.e., any number other than zero is the same as TRUE), I think it's better formula practice and easier for others to understand if TRUE is represented either as TRUE or as 1.
I also set conditional formatting on A15:A, to bold the name as you had it. (The conditional formatting rule says, in English, "If anything is there, use bold.") You can see the rule by clicking anywhere in the range A15:A, then selecting Format > Conditional formatting from the menu and clicking the open the rule that appears in the window to the right of the screen.
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)
I'm having trouble trying to divide a cell by (A NUMBER) only if another cell contains specific text and if the cell contains another text i want it to be divide by a different number in SSRS
This is what i have but it is not working.
=IIF(Fields!PARTNO_LOT.Value=("A1001"),Fields!LOCSTOCK.Value/200)
I have added a example but in excel just to show my intent in SSRS.
If the above answer doesn't work, try this:
=Switch(
Fields!PARTNO_LOT.Value="A1001",Fields!LOCSTOCK.Value/200,
Fields!PARTNO_LOT.Value="A1002",Fields!LOCSTOCK.Value/285,
Fields!PARTNO_LOT.Value="A1003",Fields!LOCSTOCK.Value/89
)
Let me know if this helps.
If I understand correctly, you are trying to execute multiple conditions. You can use nested IIF statements:
=IIF(Fields!PARTNO_LOT.Value=("A1001"),Fields!LOCSTOCK.Value/200,
IIF(Fields!PARTNO_LOT.Value=("A1002"),Fields!LOCSTOCK.Value/285, Fields!LOCSTOCK.Value/89))
If your values are only few, this would work. If they are more than 2-3, I would look into creating a function. Reference: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms156028.aspx
Can anyone tell me how do I get the Max of a calculated field? Below is an image of my situation:
Note that Flag is of type int.
I want to write the expression in the image , but when I use it, it kinda does:
Sum(Sum(Fields!Flag.value))
Can anyone help me out on this. I think I need to add scope for the Sum(Flag) but when I add the group scope as EMPID as:
=iif(SUM(Fields!Flag.value,"Fields!EmpID.Value")>2,"RED",nothing)
It throws me an error saying something about the scope.
EDIT:
I need attendance of each employees. FLAG is basically 1 if absent and 0 if anything else.
The bottom row(Flag,Date,Status,Comment). Now I have an alert There:
=iif(Fields!Flag.Value=1,"RED",Nothing)
Beside the Textbox(Textbox62) in middle row(EmpID,EmpName) I did Expression:SUM(Flag) and in the Fill section in Text Box Properties i have done:
=iif(SUM(Fields!Flag.value,"Fields!EmpID.Value")>2,"RED",nothing)
So the above expression creates an alert if employee is absent more than 3 days.
The top most row(Department,Manager) can be drilled down for to see more detailed view of the report. Now my problem is, in the column (FLAG) i need to create a Background color change if any employee in a particular department is absent more than 3 days.so that we do not have to drill down all the departments in order see if any employee is absent or not.
So my approach was to see the Max(Sum(Flag))>2 then create color change. I tried:
=iif(MAX(Sum(Fields!Flag.Value))>2,"Red",Nothing)
It does not work at the Department level as it basically considers (SUM(Sum(Flag))).
Thanks................
If you don't specify the scope of an aggregate, it is assumed that you are using the current scope. For example, when you say
Sum(Fields!Flag.value)
It is interpreted as something like
Sum(Fields!Flag.value, "EmpID")
The scope is the name of the Group, not the name of a dataset field.
Depending on where it is in the table. When you want to say something like
Sum(Sum(Fields!Flag.value))
You need to specify the scope for each one that isn't going to be the current default.
In your case you should use something like this:
=iif(MAX(SUM(Fields!Flag.value, "EmpID"), "Department")>2,"RED",nothing)
Again, pay attention to which group each aggregate is referring to and where the expression is on the table.
Also, this expression in a textbox will just make the word "RED" appear in the box. If you want it to change the color, you have to put it in the "Fill color" expression in the properties.
okay, this has got to be simple - but I can't seem to find an answer...
I am creating a summary report (using BIRT 2.6.1), and laying out a few specific summary values in a grid (not a table or a cube).
Say it's a simple query:
SELECT decision FROM dataTable
I created a data binding / aggregation (named "sumDecision") on my grid, of a type count, where my expression is:
dataSetRow["decision"]
Now, I've tried to insert this into a grid, either as "data" or "dynamic text" with the column binding:
row["sumDecision"]
But when I run the report, it comes up blank. How would I do this? Using dataSet["decision"] doesn't seem to do anything either.
I would create a Text Item (not Dynamic Text, just Text) and use the "Value Of" tags on the text item. This will give you an expression editor and as long as your grid is bound to the data set in question, you will be able to choose your data element there.
Since you just want to see the text in the grid, make sure and choose "HTML" for the format of the text item.
One solution is to create a table of 1 column, 1 detail - then delete the detail & header rows, and create my grid inside the footer of the table.
From here, I can add a dataset to the table, and create aggregations that work to my hearts content.
Is this the right way to do this, or am I missing something?
