I have a ssrs report, that gives me multiple product's price. My Parameter is not drill down, I have to type in the parameters(since I have large range of product number).
Now my questions is, how can i get the last entered product ( parameter) always appear at the bottom of the report ?. This would help me where to look the latest product in the report.For example I have product numbers like:
abc-234,
abc-570,
ght-908,
Now what I want is that the latest entered product number which is ght-908 to appear at the bottom of the ssrs reports. Right now it gives me the report for the multiple product, but its all over the place and i have to squint my eyes and try to find out where my most recent entered product numbers (parameters) is. I have also tried to stop the parameters to being refreshed everytime i add a product number.
Assuming your parameter name is MyParameter, in report designer (BIDS) just drop a textbox onto report below the data (e.g. Table) and put following expression into its value's formula:
=Parameters!MyParameter.Value.Split(",")(Parameters!MyParameter.Value.Split(",").Length - 1)
it will split the parameter list and grab the last value
Update: here is the screenshot with steps:
And here is the runtime result
This expression works for me:
=Trim(Right(Parameters!Product_Number.Value
, InStr(StrReverse(Parameters!Product_Number.Value), ",") - 1))
Trim might not be strictly necessary but is useful as it will work if the values are split with spaces as well as commas, or not.
For example:
It sounds like you want to order the results of the stored procedure by the order of the product codes as they are typed into the report parameter (which is a comma separated list).
You can return the index (order) of each product code in the parameter by using the Array.IndexOf and Split functions, e.g.
If you have a report parameter called "ProductNumber" and you also have a field called "ProductNumber" returned in your dataset, the following code will return the zero-based index of the Product Number as entered into the parameter list:
=Array.IndexOf(
Split(Parameters!ProductNumber.Value.ToString(), ",")
, Fields!ProductNumber.Value
)
So if abc-234 is the first product number in the parameter list then this code will return 0. If abc-570 is the second product number in the parameter list then this code will return 1, etc.
Assuming the products are listed in a tablix, then I would set the tablix sort expression to the above, which should sort the products into the order specified in the report parameter.

I am building a report(report server project) using the Data Tools. I have a column Quantity it has a Total.
I need another column that calculate the share(%) of each line in the Quantity comparing to the Total.
The expression would be: Line_1_Share = Quantity_of_line_1/Total.
I tried =[Sum(Total/Quantity)] but it does not even accept as a valid expression.
If you right-click the textboxes that contain your working 'Quantity' and 'Total' values and look at the expressions you will see the correct format.
For exmaple your 'Quantity' expression might be something like
=Fields!Quantity.Value
or if it is in a grouped row it might be
=SUM(Fields!Quantity.Value)
your 'Total' expression might also be
=SUM(Fields!Quantity.Value)
When you use SUM() (or any similar aggregate) then the scope of the expression decides what is included in the sum. The scope can be a single row, a row group or an entire dataset. If you do not specify a scope then the position of the textbox determines the scope.
So, if you have a simple table with no grouping other than the total line and your dataset name is dataset1 then your expression would need to be
=Fields!Quantity.Value / SUM(Fields!Quantity.Value, "dataset1")
The above reads .... "For the current row, take the Quantity and divide is but the sum of all Quantities that are within the entire dataset called dataset1"
If this does not help, post your current report design including and row and/or column groups.
I created a report with 5 fields in a hierarchical order:
Order Date
Time of Day (AM/PM)
Parent Name (aka customer)
Product Line
BIC Part Number (aka Item)
Each field expands down to the next level, so order date expands to time of day, etc.
I want to create a drill through report so that the user can click on each level of the hierarchy and see the detail.
This works fine at the lowest level - Item - because only 1 values from each field has to be passed to the drill through report parameter. However, when I try, for example, to drill through based on Product Line, there will usually be 3 or 4 Items within this product line. In the Go To action, I have the drill through parameter "bic_part" set to the main report FIELD value "BIC Part Number".
I have the tablix on the drill through report set where "BIC Part Number" IN [#bic_part].
I just want to be clear, I am passing a set of report field values to the drill through report parameter, not parameter to parameter.
I have tried using expressions with =Split(Join(field value),","),",") and all variations on that. I can't seem to get the child report filters to accept multiple values from the BIC Part Number field from the parent report.
I also tried omitting the BIC Part Number value in the go to report section, but it would not let me.
All of the parameters in the child report are set to accept multiple values. My data source for both reports is the same stored proc, so I can add a query filter. I would appreciate any help.
I think each sub report link needs to be slightly different.
In the subreport, each parameter needs to accept null and your query needs to look for
(FieldName = #FieldNameParameter or #FieldNameParameter is null)
This will allow you to pass the lowest possible solid value, then null for all child values.
If we're looking at the Parent_Number level, on that subreport link you would pass Fields!Parent_Number.Value and then Nothing for each of the lower parameters (Product_Line, BIC_Part_Number).
This will allow you to filter on the lower common denominator in your sub report - Part_Number for this link, Product_Line for the next one down, etc.
I've used this logic in reports before, so it does work. Let me know if my explanation needs clarification - it's Friday afternoon..
I've been struggling with an IIF error when trying to create a variable aggregate.
I'm using Report Builder 3.0
I have a report where users determine what fields are in a report. These fields are passed as a multivalue parameter. I use a lookup from a different dataset to determine its placement in the report, and using the same order dataset to determine if the field is numeric or not (meaning I want to sum the value based on row-level grouping). The headers pull in using the same field lookup, which works fine. At the row level I'm trying to return either the sum of the field value based on row grouping, or if non-numeric, return the value. Based on similar posts I understand that both the true and false parts are processed. I attempted to offset this error by nesting another IIF. If I remove the sum function the data returns non-numeric data fine. However if I include the sum function numeric data is processed fine however non-numeric data returns #error.
What am I missing?
Here is a definition of the data I'm referencing below:
lookupvalue: returns the fields selected by the user based on predefined order in a stored procedure.
Fieldisnumeric: indicates if the field selected is numeric or not, 0 is false, 1 is true
Fielditem: the field item in the tablix being referenced
dtsselectedfields: the dataset I'm looking up the column order and numeric properties of a field.
The number 1 indicates the first position in the variable count of fields selected by the user. Additional fields are hidden based on the count of fields passed in the parameter and are incremental (e.g 1-n).
=iif(Lookup(1, Fields!LookupValue.Value,
Fields!FieldIsNumeric.Value,"dtsSelectedFields")=0,
Fields(Lookup(1, Fields!LookupValue.Value, Fields!FieldItem.Value,
"dtsSelectedFields")).Value,iif(Lookup(1, Fields!LookupValue.Value,
Fields!FieldIsNumeric.Value, "dtsSelectedFields")=0,
Fields!MV.Value,sum(Fields(Lookup(1, Fields!LookupValue.Value,
Fields!FieldItem.Value, "dtsSelectedFields")).Value)))
****edit 12/1/2015****
For additional clarity, I'm providing additional details. Below is 'dtsSelectedFields' dataset.
FieldItem_____LookupValue_____FieldIsNumeric
Item1Desc__________1__________________0
Item1Total__________2__________________1
Item2Desc__________3__________________0
Item2Total__________4__________________1
Let's say I have one column of data, and this column would first look for a LookupValue of 1. This would return the FieldItem, 'Item1Desc'. Because this field is not numeric, I would want to return the value of Item1Desc. However let's assume my first selection was actually 'Item1Total' and I don't want to return the non-numeric Item1Desc field. In this case, because 'FieldIsNumeric'=1 indicating a numeric field, I want to take the sum of this field.
Is it possible to nest an aggregating function in an IIF statement on only one part of an IIF statement? I.e. the true part or false part?
And if so, what am I doing wrong?
An example of the tablix:
sample layout
Column 1 Header____________Column 2 Header___________Column 3 Header
Column 1 Data______________Column 2 Data_____________Column 3 Data
Sample data
Product___________________Country of Origin_________________Units
ABC Envelopes___________________China______________________15
LMN Packets_____________________India_______________________30
In the example above, user selects 3 columns, 'Product', 'Country of Origin', and 'Units'. There are other fields available that would cause multiple rows if I grouped by them in the stored procedure (for example acquisition price). Based on the lookup I return the column description as a header. The row-level detail is described as above (e.g. Return the product name and country of origin, but sum up the units).
As a workaround for my issue above, I found an (ugly?) solution.
As mentioned above, a user can select any number of columns and the report organizes them in columns based on a predefined order according to a stored procedure. (E.g. a product description would come before the sum of the units if those two columns were chosen, but a product ID may come before the product description, but only if the ID was chosen.)
For every possible number of columns a user can select, I added two columns in the report (i.e. two for each field).
The first two columns will reference the lookupvalue=1. I then set the expression of each field in the detail to 1) a sum of the value, or 2) the value itself. I then set the column visibility to the results of the 'FieldIsNumeric' column. So the summed numeric column which would return an error for non-numeric data would be hidden when FieldIsNumeric=0, and the non-numeric column referencing the lookup value =1 would be shown, and vice versa.
Needless to say additional columns would follow the same logic in sets of two, each referencing the sequential lookup value (e.g. columns 3 and 4 would reference lookupvalue=2, columns 5 and 6 would reference lookupvalue=3, and so forth. Each column within the matching pair would be displayed or hidden based on the returned value of FieldIsNumeric in the same lookup dataset.
I'm definitely open to suggestions, but thought I'd post this as a workaround solution.
My application uses SSRS to produce payslips for employees. The Payslip report consists of a tablix with 5 columns. Among the 5, is a column called "Units" and another called "Invoice value".
The report has several Row Grouping levels, but the only important one for this question is the Payslip Number Row Grouping "RG_SlipNum". There is a page break after each "RG_SlipNum" RowGroup.
When users want to print Payslips, they can optionally supply up to 5 parameters which filter the result set to print out.
Employees can be paid based on the number of units delivered * a rate (Unit Based), or by a percentage of the invoice value (Invoice based) for the delivery (Oversimplified, but hopefully, you get my drift).
If the employee is Unit based I want the Units Column to Show, and the "Invoice Value" Column to be hidden. If they are Invoice based I want both columns to show.
My dataset has a bit field indicating whether to show or hide a column based on the logic above. It will be a 1 or a 0 for every underlying row within the current rowGroup. I have tried to use the First(,) function in a Column Visibility expression on the "Invoice Value" Column. However, I get the following error whenever I try to limit the scope of the First Function to the current Payslip Rowgroup using the RowGroup name.
"The Hidden expression for the tablix 'X' has a scope parameter that is not valid for an aggregate function. The scope parameter must be set to a string constant that is equal to either the name of a containing group, the name of a containing data region, or the name of a dataset. "
So, my Question(s)
Can you define a RowGroup name as the Scope argument in a First() function?
If not, What's the best way of achieving this without completely re-working my Dataset / RDL to accomplish this. (Using SSRS2008)
Why is it always just after posting a forum question, you figure it (or some workaround) out?
I'd still like some (better) answers if anyone sees this, but I've set a cell in the tablix to the value of the bit field that determines whether to show the column or not. I then changed my Column Visibility expression to check the cell value (using ReportItems!textboxname.Value) and it's working. as I scroll the payslips the columns visibility changes appropriately.
My dataset currently has 12 rows of data. Each representing data for a month. I would like to have variance of a column between to rows, the rows being last & last but one i.e., latest month and previous month's data.
It could have been simple if I were to work on tablix but thats not the case. I want those values for a textbox.
Any ideas on it anyone?
I hope you are using SSRS 2008R2:
R2 introduced the Lookup function that is perfect for this scenario.
=Lookup( Fields!ProductUID.Value ,Fields!ProductID.Value,Fields!Price.Value,"PriceDataSet")
The Lookup function above will evaluate the first parameter ("Fields!ProductUID.Value") in the current dataset, then look for a matching value in the field specified in the second parameter ("Fields!ProductID.Value") in the dataset specified in the fourth parameter. The value of the third parameter is then evaluated in that row of the dataset and returned.
A little convoluted, but very helpful.
In your case, you can use this in a textbox with a calculated a static number:
=Lookup(
Month(DateAdd(DateInterval.Month, -1, GetDate())),
Fields!MonthID.Value,
Fields!Name.Value,
"DataSet1")
This should calculate a number for last month, then look for a match in DataSet1.
In this example I have a tablix with Statecode and name as below
enter image description here
Suppose you want to display the name of state of CA, write an expression as -
=Lookup(
"CA" ,
Fields!StateCode.Value,
Fields!StateName.Value,
"ReportData"
)
This will return 'California' in the text box
I ran across this post while trying to solve a similar problem but with columns of double data type. Not sure why but SSRS did not want to return my first row using LOOKUP in combination with ROW_NUMBER in SQL(If someone can solve that all the better). I ended up using a SUM(IIF) instead. Hopefully, this is useful for someone else.
=Sum(IIF(Fields!RowNum.Value=1,CDBL(Fields!MyNumericColumn.Value),CDBL(0)))
Note: If SSRS complains about data types, just cast both parts of the IIF to the desired data type.
