I am trying to develop a report having two tables with one single data set.each table is filtered with the user giving a date parameter. is there any way that I can get the value present in a text of table1 into the table 2.
If you have a report with two table objects in it, both of which point at the same dataset, then all of the data in either table will be available in the other table - the only reason that one value would be available in one table but not the other is if the tables have different filter conditions. Therefore, you may need to amend the filter conditions.

I'm using multiple Calc tables in a single document for ingoing and outgoing bills that are stored in a SQL DB. Table A has ingoing bills and Table B has outgoing bills. For example table A has data from B2-B39 and table B has data from B2-B15. I need the sum function to automatically adjust when data entries are added or subtracted.
I can use =SUM(B2:B39) in tableA.B40 and =SUM(B2:B15) in tableB.B16 to get the sums of the current data, at the end of the data entries. However, when the DB changes, for example Table A has data from B2-B44, I end up missing five entries. To further complicate things, I have Table C, where I evaluate the net income. For example in Table C I use tableB.B16-tableA.B40. When the number of entries in tables A and B change the function in Table C no longer works.
I need SUM in multiple tables to automatically adjust its position based on how many rows of data are found in the DB.
Maybe there is something about your layout that you have not mentioned but a solution would seem to be to apply whole column references (eg =SUM(B:B)), or if you must have the total in the same column move it to the top and sum like so:
=SUM(B2:B1048576)
Otherwise try something like LibreOffice Basic and search for the first empty cell in the column to put the formula in.
Before I start I need to say I know multi-valued fields are a bad way to store data. However, because of the data and what it will be used for it seemed the easiest way and this problem has been bugging me for a short while
I am building a database that has multiple different tables based on Candidates and their specialized job sector
I have multiple queries that take data from one table to another depending on inputted values
I have a table called TblClient, which holds all the client names
I have a table called TblCandidateSupport, within this table, I have a lookup field that holds multiple values from TblClient (only needed so I can see which candidate has been to which clients)
The problem I am having is when I run an append query to the values stored in the multi-valued field to another table called TblCandidateSupportAvailable.
I either get an error "An INSERT INTO query cannot contain a multi-valued field" or only get one value appending when I use.value.
The value that is appended from the TblCandidate will only ever be viewed.
What is the best way to carry the data across?
Just stuck on getting information from two sources, we have a MYSQL database for repairs information which I have in SSRS, this brings back 7000 rows. We have another Repairs database in Oracle which brings back over 3 million rows.
I can't seem to bring the one from oracle as it exceeds the maximum limit, but is there any way do a left join using so i can bring only the two columns i need from the oracle one into the MySQl one which would mean i have 7000 rows plus the 2 columns from Oracle which have a common Primary key. I can't seem to join on two dataset with it being on two database.
Can anyone help.
THank you in advance
You can use the Lookup function in SSRS to find a value from one dataset based on a common key.
=Lookup(Fields!SaleProdId.Value, Fields!ProductID.Value, Fields!Name.Value, "Product")
Use Lookup to retrieve the value from the specified dataset for a
name-value pair where there is a 1-to-1 relationship. For example, for
an ID field in a table, you can use Lookup to retrieve the
corresponding Name field from a dataset that is not bound to the data
region.
(BIDs Description)
In the above example, the SalesProdID from one dataset is being used to relate to the ProductID in the Product table to get the Name field.
This will only return one value, though. This may or may not be OK depending on your data. If you need to return multiple values, use LookupSet.
=LookupSet(Fields!TerritoryGroupID.Value, Fields!TerritoryID.Value, Fields!StoreName.value, "Stores")
Use LookupSet to retrieve a set of values from the specified dataset
for a name-value pair where there is a 1-to-many relationship. For
example, for a customer identifier in a table, you can use LookupSet
to retrieve all the associated phone numbers for that customer from a
dataset that is not bound to the data region.
Unfortunately, you might need to SUM a Lookup but that isn't supported by a function in SSRS. Fortunately, users created a function for it:
SSRS Count Occurances based on multiple columns
I am creating a report in SSRS. I have a table showing the date and time the report was generated, it's a single column table with one expression =Now() and is not linked to any datasets.
The trouble I am having is that it returns 77 rows all with the exact same date. My main dataset returns 77 rows in a different table but that table is not linked to this one in any way.
How can I stop it from returning so many rows? The reason I'm using a table and not a text box is because I want it to have the same look and feel as other data presented in my report i.e. Header Row and Data Presented underneath. There are a few tables that use the same approach and all of them are returning duplicate rows. As you can see from the image below, I just need the first row from each table.
EDIT: Looks like SSRS automatically references a dataset when I insert a new table. When I change the table properties dataset to none it returns an error. Is there a way around this? I don't want data from any dataset, just want to use an simple expression =now()
As you've seen, a Tablix requires a DataSet, and when you only have one DataSet in a report it will link to this DataSet automatically in some circumstances.
You've mentioned you don't want to use Textboxes, but this does seem like the easiest option.
If you're set on using a Tablix for ease of formatting, to prevent any repeating rows just delete the Details group that gets set up by default when you create a Table through the designer:
This leaves a table with one header row only - you can add more header rows as required:
The result is a table that will only display the header rows once, i.e. no repeating rows.
You can add Summary data or individual fields from the DataSet to these header rows; if no aggregation is specified it will just take the first row by default.
I have a series of tables in an Access 2007 database. I am trying to find a way of outputting a flat-file to an excel spreadsheet that combines all of the tables so that each row of the flatfile represents a unique combination of the table rows from each table.
For example, these tables:
Would combine to make this output table:
The challenges I'm facing are:
The 'input' tables can vary in number of rows and columns, as well as quantity
The total number of rows in the final output table can get quite large (200,000+ rows)
I know Excel and VBA (in Excel) well but almost nothing about Access
Is there a way to do this in Access? Is there some native functionality in Access that I'm completely overlooking? Any pointers (even if it's "you need to read into X and Y") would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Adam
As noted above:
Create a new query. Select your 3 tables as the data sources. If desired, set up joins between tables by dragging a line between a field in one table to a field in another. Without joins you will get a Cartesian Product ... every from 1st table paired with every row of 2nd table, and then each of those combination paired with every row of 3rd table. Select the fields you want included in the result set. When the query returns what you need, save it and give it a name. Then you can export that named query to Excel.
If the table is large, you could hit Excel's row / column limit though.
