I have an SSRS report which gets filtered with the following expression:
="{[Claim Cheque].[Cheque Date].&[" + format(Parameters!StartDate.Value, "yyyy-MM-dd") + "T00:00:00]:[Claim Cheque].[Cheque Date].&[" + format(Parameters!EndDate.Value, "yyyy-MM-dd") + "T00:00:00]}"
which works fine. My problem is I don't have cheques everyday and this makes the query return no results. As an example I'm choosing the date range from 1st to 20th of November. I have cheques in 14th and 15th but NOT 20th. I will miss 14th and 15th results in my report this way.
I know how to force the parameters to get only existing values in the cube. but I need to be able to select all dates. Is there any other way to make this expression return desired results?
Any help is appreciated.
It looks to me like you have a separate date dimension just for [Cheque Date], rather than linking back to a fully populated master date dimension. Take a look at the way Order Date and Ship Date dimensions are done in the AdventureWorks sample. They are explained nicely here: Role-playing dimensions
I was able to run MDX queries like yours against that data, where there were no transactions on the start and end dates of the range:
Select
[Measures].[Order Count] on 0,
[Sales Channel].&[Reseller] on 1
From [Adventure Works]
Where {[Ship Date].[Fiscal].[Date].&[20060701]:[Ship Date].[Fiscal].[Date].&[20060710]}
and
Select
[Measures].[Order Count] on 0,
([Sales Channel].&[Reseller],
{[Ship Date].[Fiscal].[Date].&[20060701]:[Ship Date].[Fiscal].[Date].&[20060710]}) on 1

I am building a report with 2 matrix tables with different (but very similar) data sets. I need to calculate the average daily transaction amount where the user inputs the month and year they want to see. I was able to use the following expression on the first table with no issue.
=sum(fields!tot_rev.Value)/fields!Day.Value
Where "Day" is the day of the month. I used "Day(trn_dt) as Day" in my query to extract the day from the datetime string.
I tried using the same expression in my second table but it only returns the sum total amount. If I use
=sum(fields!amt.Value)/countdistinct(fields!Day.Value)
it returns a value that seems to be random (I don't know how it came to that value with any calculation)
The only way I have been able to successfully get the average was by inputting the number of days in the expression.
=sum(fields!amt.Value)/22
But I need this to work with the parameters and the number of days will not be constant.
Here is a sample of my data from dataset1:
SELECT MONTH(inv_dt) AS Month, DAY(inv_dt) AS Day, YEAR(inv_dt) AS Year, bill_by, inv_no, tot_rev
FROM inv_info
WHERE (status_cd IN ('FF', 'FP')) AND (MONTH(inv_dt) = #Month) AND (YEAR(inv_dt) = #Year)
Month, Day, Year, bill_by, inv_no, tot_rev
10, 23, 2020, ERSA, 40444, 4881
10, 23, 2020, ERSA, 40443, 2043
10, 22, 2020, DYCO, 40435, 2504
10, 22, 2020, ERSA, 40431, 20524
Here is sample from dataset2 (table with the problem):
SELECT YEAR(trn_info.trn_dt) AS YEAR, MONTH(trn_info.trn_dt) AS MONTH, DAY(trn_info.trn_dt) AS Day, trn_info.reg_no, trn_dtail.amt, trn_info.acc_by
FROM trn_info LEFT OUTER JOIN
trn_dtail ON trn_info.trn_no = trn_dtail.trn_no
WHERE (trn_info.status IN ('FP', 'FF')) AND (trn_info.tpe_cd IN ('AI', 'BI')) AND (trn_dtail.rte_cd = 'TT') AND (MONTH(trn_info.trn_dt) = #Month) AND (YEAR(trn_info.trn_dt) = #Year)
Year, Month, Day, reg_no, amt, acc_by
2020, 10, 1, 40113, 377.96, JLMA
2020, 10, 1, 40115, 6637.07, NASO

In the attached picture the upper left corner expression is: =MonthName(Fields!MONTH.Value,false)
The day of month is listed along the left with the total count (count of transactions) and sum for each processor(acc_by/bill_by) in the data field.
I used =iif(isnothing(Sum(Fields!amt.Value)), 0, sum(fields!amt.Value)) as the expression for the amt field.
The column total is the total count and sum for that day from all processors.
The row total at is the average daily count and average daily amt by processor and where the total column and total row intersect it is the average daily count for the month and I would like to show the average daily transaction amt for the month as well but this is what isn't working properly.
See attached image:

Does anyone know what else I can try?
Don't break a date down into its component parts until you are presenting it, and even then use formatting to display the date part without converting the date to ints or strings. So many calculation bugs are introduced this way.
Leave inv_dt and trn_dt as Datetime values in your query and bring them into SSRS that way. Within SSRS, use the date formatting values to show just the year or month.
To calculate your daily average, create a grouping in the SSRS report on the date. Choose an easily understood group name, like InvoiceDate or something. Then use Avg(fields!amt.value,"InvoiceDate"). This will tell SSRS to average the amount within the grouping (each day). If desired, you can than average the average by Avg(Avg(fields!amt.value,"InvoiceDate")).
Please take the time to learn how to manipulate dates in SQL and SSRS. Your query results will be more accurate and your peers will thank you when maintaining your code.
As a sample of what I'm talking about, see if you can spot the logic bug in some DB2 code I'm updating this week (Hint problem happens in January:
AND Month(CUST.acct_svc_strt_d) >= (Month(CURRENT DATE) - 1)
AND Year(CUST.acct_svc_strt_d) = Year(CURRENT DATE)
I'm trying to sum a net balance based on the earliest date in an SSRS report. In this case there are only 2 dates, but there can be more dates not more than 7 days.
Here's a sample of my data:
Here's what I'm trying to get with the earliest date of 10/26/15:
I've tried the following code, but not able to get this to work:
=Sum(IIf(DateDiff("d",Fields!SettleFullDate.Value,today())>=7
and DateDiff("d", Fields!SettleFullDate.Value, today())<7
and Fields!SETTLEBALANCE.Value>0), Fields!SETTLEBALANCE.Value, 0)
Update: I tried the code below and keep getting an error on the report. Could it be that I need to change the date field to an integer?
Thanks in advance for your help!
To compare the sum of values of two dates, the maximum and minimum in a set you can use the following equation
=Sum(iif(Fields!myDate.Value = Max(Fields!myDate.Value), Fields!myVal.Value, 0))
-Sum(iif(Fields!myDate.Value = MIN(Fields!myDate.Value), Fields!myVal.Value, 0))
This Sums all the values that match the maximum date in the dataset together, and sums all the values that match the minimum date in the dataset together, and takes one from the other.
It is irrespective of which dates you ask to be received, the above approach will work only against the records that you return to SSRS. So if you have a filter (WHERE clause) to return records between Date1 and Date2 this will still apply (Note - don't actually use 'Between' in the query)
Rather than using the maximum and minimum dates as listed here, you could also calculate a date similar to your original approach using
dateadd("d", -7, Fields!MySpecificDate.Value)
And insert that to the expression above.
Hopefully this is what you require - if not please let me know.
This is my first question, please be kind. I am writing a macro in access and I want a series of reports to run one after another. the problem is all report have a date range that needs to be entered. Some are for the previous week some are for the previous month.
Is there a way in VBA or the macro creator to automatically calculate a date range for the previous month or week and populate the field to fully automate the process without manually entering the date range each time.
I am a new to VBA. Any help would be great, just point me in the right direction. Have a good day.
This query is created using the query design window in MS Access and then cut from SQL view. It will show records for last week, where ww is week number, in table1
SELECT Table1.AKey, Table1.atext, Table1.ADate,
Format([ADate],"ww") AS Week, Month([ADate]) AS [Month],
Year([ADate]) AS [Year]
FROM Table1
WHERE (((Format([ADate],"ww"))=Format(Date(),"ww")-1)
AND ((Year([ADate]))=Year(Date())));
You will notice that one column is called Month. You can use this to set a previous month in a similar way to setting the previous week. For example, both last week and last month:
SELECT Table1.AKey, Table1.atext, Table1.ADate,
Format([ADate],"ww") AS Week, Month([ADate]) AS [Month],
Year([ADate]) AS [Year]
FROM Table1
WHERE (((Format([ADate],"ww"))=Format(Date(),"ww")-1)
AND ((Year([ADate]))=Year(Date())))
OR (((Month([ADate]))=Month(Date())-1)
AND ((Year([ADate]))=Year(Date())));
The SQL could be written much more neatly, but you may as well start with the query design window.
i guess the date has a own field in the database you open
then you can do something like this
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM reports WHERE Date >= " & now() -7
rs.open(strSQL)
' for the last week
strSQL = "Select * FROM reports WHERE Date >= " & now() - 30
rs.open(strSQL)
' for the last month
but you will need to format now() to the same format as it is in your Table
and that is just kinda the rawest code. i had to handle something similar and this worked out quite well
How can I write an MDX statement or query that selects the clients who paid last month but have not paid this(Current Month) month?. I have a data cube designed and deployed on Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services R 2. I have a customer dimensions and a fact table.
Please help.
I assume you have a [Time] dimension, and a measure that contains a value if the client has paid. I think the Filter() function will help you reduce a set of all clients down to just the clients that you're interested in.
SELECT {Filter({[Client].[SomeLevel].members}, ([Time].[LastMonth], [Measures].[whatever]) > 0 AND ([Time].[ThisMonth], [Measures].[whatever]) = 0} ON ROWS, {[Measures].[whatever]} ON COLUMNS FROM [CubeName]
You trouble might be deciding what to use in place of where I wrote [Time].[ThisMonth] - see other answers here on StackOverflow for selecting 'current' dates.
First of all, you have to identify the current month and the last month. One way to do it is compute it using the VBA!Date function.
So if your dates are stored in the format 12/31/2014 and assuming you have a measure Payment and a Date dimension with a Year-Quarter-Month-Date hierarchy, the below code can help you.
WITH MEMBER [Measures].ValueThisMonth AS
(
[Date].[Year-Quarter-Month-Date].CURRENTMEMBER.PARENT,
[Measures].[Payment]
)
MEMBER [Measures].ValueLastMonth AS
(
[Date].[Year-Quarter-Month-Date].CURRENTMEMBER.PARENT.LAG(1),
[Measures].[Payment]
)
SELECT [Client].[Client Name].MEMBERS
HAVING ISEMPTY([Measures].ValueThisMonth)
AND NOT(ISEMPTY([Measures].ValueLastMonth))
ON 0
FROM [Your cube]
WHERE
StrToMember("[Date].[Year-Quarter-Month-Date].[Date].&[" + FORMAT(VBA![Date](), "MM/dd/yyyy") + "]" + "]")
If instead you would like to pass this "current" value from the front end, use a parameter in the WHERE clause.
I have a set of Access d/b's grouped already by year. within a given year, I have a field caleld REPORTDATE which is a standard mm/dd/yyyy field. However, I need to produce queries that return data by the month. For example, I just want to see records for Jan, recs for Feb, Recs for March, etc., so that I can sum them and work wwith thm.
Do I use an expression in the query design view Criteria field?
Thanks in advance.
I just want to see records for Jan, recs for Feb, Recs for March, etc., so that I can sum them and work wwith thm.
You can do all of that in one sql statement:
select month(reportdate), sum( the column you wish to sum )
from tablename
group by month(reportdate);
BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!
Further say that there are several salepersons selling stuff, and you wish to show each salesperson's sales by month
select month(reportdate), salesperson, sum( the column you wish to sum )
from tablename
group by month(reportdate), salesperson;
That shows the sum per month per salesperson.
You know the Germans always make good stuff!
What it you wanted to see the same sums, but rtaher than comparing salespeople against each other in each month, you wanted to compare, for each salesperson, how they did from one month to another?
Just reverse the order of the group by:
select month(reportdate), saleperson, sum( the column you wish to sum )
from tablename
group by salesperson, month(reportdate);

The power of SQL! As seen on TV! Order now!
"select month(reportdate), sum( the column you wish to sum )from tablenamegroup by month(reportdate);" THIS IS VERY HELPFUL, THANK YOU. AND YOU ARE HILARIOUS. HOWEVER, can you clarify for me where the heck this code goes?! In the expresison Builder or what? Thank you SO much. – rick (19 mins ago)
In Access, I think from the graphical Query Builder thing's menu, select edit|SQL, and just type. And never go back to graphical!
You're a hard-charging forward-thinking entrepreneurially-minded man on the move! This is not your father's Oldsmobile! You wouldn't use an on-screen keyboard to type a document, dragging and dropping letters on the page, would you?! So why do that to build a SQL Query? Get into SQL! AS SEEN ON TV! All the cool kids and hep cats are doin' it! Order NOW!
You can use format, for example:
Format([REPORTDATE],"mmm yy")
Or Month:
SELECT * FROM Table WHERE Month([REPORTDATE]) = 10
An outline of query that may suit, paste this into the SQL view of
the query design window, changing table to the name of your table:
SELECT Format([REPORTDATE],"yyyy mm"), Count([ReportDate])
FROM Table
GROUP BY Format([REPORTDATE],"yyyy mm")
I wouldn't do this in the report's recordsource. I'd make the recordsource a regular SELECT statement and use the report's sorting/grouping. If you group on a date field (one that is really date type), you get the choice to GROUP ON:
Each Value (default)
Year
Qtr
Month
Week
Day
Hour
Minute
I think this is faster than a GROUP BY on a function, but someone who was interested should actually try it.
Certainly if your SELECT with GROUP BY has no WHERE clause, it's going to be a lot more efficient if you run the report with filtered values.
