How to convert Text on a SSRS report to Title Case.
Right now I am using
=Strconv(Fields!Title.Value, 3)
Which works but in some cases eg.: GEORGIA(GA) is the text coming from DB its converting it to Georgia(Ga). I want it convert like Georgia(GA). I think some kind of Regular expressions need to be used, But I'm not sure how to do that.
Is there a way to achieve this from a inbuilt SSRS functions or Writing custom method is the only way?
Any kind of help is much appreciated. Thanks! :)
This will display GEORGIA(GA) as Georgia(GA):
=StrConv(Left(Fields!Title.Value, InStr(Fields!Title.Value, "(") - 1), 3)
& Right(Fields!Title.Value, InStr(StrReverse(Fields!Title.Value), "("))
Basically it's splitting the string in two based on (, applying StrConv to the left side then concatenating the two strings back together.
Maybe not the most concise code ever but does the job with native SSRS functions.

Can anyone tell me how to display something like this in wordpress? I know the SQL code for it, just not how to display it in Wordpress. Ive tried to google plug ins etc with no luck.
You can try NUMBER_FORMAT or MONEY_FORMAT functions of PHP and format your data before displaying it on page. You do not need to rely on sql.
Number Format
Money Format
If you insist using sql and try showing data as it comes from database you can query your data as shown below.
FORMAT()
CONCAT('$', FORMAT(VAL, 2))
I'm not quite familiar with wordpress html editor but I think you can do something like this:
Make an <input> field with text type, remove the borders and set as read-only. Then send the value from sql query - make sure the value looked exactly as you want it - according to your example there, the value should be '$6,621,280'. Use that value to show in the <input> field.

I am having a few issues using SSRS-Reports 2005.
The first one is I am trying to use the datediff function to change the background color of a cell based on the two dates being within 30 days of each other.
=iif(
DateDiff("d",DateString,Fields!Insurance_Certificate.Value)<= 30, "Tan", "White"
)
I have my fields formatted through the initial query so they look like mm/dd/yyyy. I guess my first question is how do I see what value is being evaluated because whatever this is returning can't be right.
my [...] question is how do I see what value is being evaluated
There is no real "debugger" available like you would have in -say- a WinForms C# app. Instead, you have several "raw" "debugging" options:
Render Fields!Insureance_Certificate.Value in a seperate cell, as text
Render DateDiff("d",DateString,Fields!Insurance_Certificate.Value) in a seperate cell, as text
Right-click your dataset, select "Query...", and execute the query manually. Inspect the values for your field. Make sure they're what you'd expect.
Render your DateString in a seperate cell, with and without a cast to a date.
Other than that #MarkBannister has a great suggestion, using actual Dates as opposed to strings for your fields and variables. One additional thing to note about this, is that date parsing may be culture-specific. Be sure you understand and know in what culture your DateString is being parsed. The above "debugging" options may help you find out.
I suggest querying your date fields as dates (instead of as strings), comparing them using the DateDiff function as in the question and formatting the date output using the Format property of the appropriate textboxes in SSRS.
I inserted three text boxes to test how this could work:
Text81: =1
Text82: =2
Text83: I want this one to be the sum of Text81 and Text82
Thanks in advance for your help on what I think is a pretty simple problem.
There are a couple options that spring to mind.
First you could always modify the data source for the report to include the calculated field.
Second, which is what your question drives at, you can do something like this:
=[Text81] + [Text82]
Should work when typed into the Control Source of a TextBox provided Text81 and Text82 are the data field names from the Data Source of the Report. If they are not you would put the corresponding data field names in the square brackets []
Hope this helps
In a report, I've a dataset with a filter(based on a MultiValue parameter).
This dataset contains two field: Id and Name.
I need to display somewhere the concatenation of all names:
Name1 / Name2 / Name3
The problem is that the join method works only on array, and then I cannot specify a dataset as value.
I looked in custom code too, but I didn't found anything working.
How should I do this ?
I may be a bit late for this but for anyone that's interested in this, there is a rather easy way of doing this in SSRS:
=Join(LookupSet(1,1,Fields!Name.Value, "DatasetName")," / ")
SSRS-2008 R2 and higher...
1. Using LookupSet
If you're beyond the 2008 version OP has, there exists a good solution:
=Join(LookupSet(1, 1, Fields!Name.Value, "DatasetName"), " / ")
Credit for this answer using the LookupSet solution goes entirely to #urbanhusky's answer.
SSRS-2008 and lower...
I'm keeping this answer though because it aggregates #urbanhusky's solution with the solutions available to poor souls stuck with OP's version of SSRS and below.
In SSRS 2008 there's only three "options" as far as I can see, each with its own downside. The first one's probably the least hackish.
2. Extra parameter
Create an internal parameter (e.g. "NameParameter", see this SO answer or MSDN) with Allow Multiple Values. Set the default value of the parameter to the Name field from your dataset. Then use the function =Join(Parameters!NameParameter.Value, " / ") to show the joined names in a textbox.
This may be your best bet, but if there are a lot of values the parameter may not work very well.
3. Use a List
Create a List and drag/drop the Name field to it. If necessary, group on the Name as well.
The disadvantage here is that (AFAIK) the list can't be made to show horizontally.
4. Use a Matrix
Oh boy, this one's real ugly. Nonetheless, here goes: create a matrix, drag the Name field to the column header, and hide the first column as well as the second row (for displaying the data).
The main disadvantage is that it's a hack (and quite some overkill), plus you'll have to trim the last seperator character manually with an expression.
I'm writing a report in SSRS. I have a report with some fairly long expressions although the calcuations are simple additions, subtractions and mults and divs. Is there a way to capture the results of an expression for use in a calculation in another field without having to repeat the whole original calculation? I already do part of the calculation in underlying views. Is it possible to do something similar to referencing a 'Field.xxx.Value'? I'm using 2008 R2 for now but will be moving to Sql Server 2012 soon.
Supposedly the result of the complex expression that you want to reuse is located in a Text Box named "amt3". Then you can use this to, say, Color it:
=iif(ReportItems("amt3").Value < 0, "Red", "Green")
Are you wanting to repeat a calculation or use a calculated value?
If you want to repeat a calculation you can use inbedded code. Just write some VB that takes in whatever parameters you want and have it output the results.
