I'm a bit confused with this one.
I have a Dataset with a BackupDate and a BackupTime as well as a BackupType. The BackupDate is comprised of 12 characters from the left of a datetime string within a table. The BackupTime is comprised of 8 characters from the right of that same datetime string. So for example: BackupDate would be 'December 12 2008' and the BackupTime would be '12:53PM.'
I have added an XY-scatter chart to the report. I've added a 'series' value for the BackupType (so one can distinguish between a Full/Incr/Log backup). I've added a category value of BackupDate and set the Scale for the X-axis from the Min of BackupDate to the Max of BackupDate. I've then added an item to the Values with the Y variable set to BackupTime and the X variable set to BackupDate. The interval for the Y-axis is 12:00AM to 11:59PM and the formatting for the labels is 'hh:mmtt'.
The BackupTime matches the format of the Y-axis. The BackupDate matches the format of the X-axis. 10 entries are retrieved by my Dataset and the Legend is properly populated by the BackupType field.
No points are being plotted on the graph and no markers/pointers are shown if they are enabled. There should be a point on the graph for every point in time of each day there is a backup of a specific type.
Am I missing something? Does anyone know of a good tutorial dealing specifically with XY-scatter graphs and using them in a way I intend?
I am using the 2005 version of SSRS rather than the 2008 version.
Screenshot of what my chart currently looks like:
In case it could be dataset related:
SELECT TOP (10) backup_type, LTRIM(RTRIM(LEFT(backup_finish_date,
12))) AS BackupDate, LTRIM(RTRIM(RIGHT(backup_finish_date, 8))) AS BackupTime
FROM DBARepository.Backup_History
As requested, here are the results of this query. There is a Where clause to constrain the results to a specific database of a specific server that was not included in the above SQL Query.

As the data grows, the scatter chart avoids X-axis values if it extends the (floating/numeric) limitations
Open the chart properties->X-Axis tab->Minor tick mark->Numeric or time-scale values...
It should solve your problem.

I am trying to implement ordering by date in rdlc report. The data is filtered on the basis of from date and to date. I have also added header on the top of the report as 'Month Name' Details(e.g. Nov Details)
The date format of a column on which I am using order by is 'MM/dd'.
I am passing below parameters -
From date -> 01-Nov-2020, To Date -> 28-Feb-2021
and I am getting data as Jan 2021, Feb 2021, Nov 2020, Dec 2020, which is wrong.
I want the output as Nov 2020, Dec 2020, Jan 2021, Feb 2021 and so on in the report.
I tried making changes in expressions and changed format in stored procedure also but its not working.
Please provide a solution.
In a tablix data region, set the sort expression for the data region or for each group, including the details group.
use direct date field in sort expressions or use below expression
=Cint(Format(Fields!DateField.Value, "yyyyMMdd"))
I have a DateTime value stored in an SQL Server DB with a value like '2016-04-13 00:00:00.0000000'. My problem is that I want to display this value on a HTML page as is without the browser or my server adjusting for Time Zone offsets.
I make an Ajax request to get my data to an MVC controller. I can see that the value of the Date in my ViewModel is correct. When it gets to the browser depending on the machines timezone the Date is offset.
All I want is that if I have a value 2015-04-13 00:00 in my database then that exact value gets displayed on my interface regardless of timezones, locales etc.
My Ajax request returns a value like "/Date(1460502000000)/". I've tried the following conversions:
new Date(datavar);
Date(datevar)
new Date(parseInt(datevar.replace('/Date(', '')))
I've also tried using moment.js like the following:
moment.utc(datevar).format();
moment(datevar).tostring()
An several others all of which try to offset the date some way or other.
The suggested linked answer is different in that it will include the timezone offset. So a client on US Central Time a value of "/Date(1460505600000)/" will be converted to 'Tue Apr 12 2016 18:00 GMT-0500" while a client on GMT will get the same value converted to "Wed Apr 13 2016 00:00:00 GMT+0100"
I make with Excel a MSQuery to obtain some fields from a table in MySql what is working fine but there is one column which has in MySQL a time-format and Excel delievers me this in datetime-format.
I can format the cell in Excel so that it shows me the time in format hh:mm that is not the problem but I had to use these fields from the database to do some calculations in Excel which leads to my problem: I can't make a sum over these fields when the sum is greater then 24 hours, because then I get only the value of the hours and not from the days multiplied with 24 (e.g. instead of 25:15 I get only 1:15).
Normally I use for this format [hh]:mm so there will be displayed all values (even for more then 24 hours) but this doesn't work here, because I get a very high value (for example: 1017144:15). The reason for this is, that Excel adds for every field to the time the acrtual date of today (e.g. 12:00 will be 12.01.2016 12:00) and with this for every time in the sum the value for the date will be add additionally.
I tried it with the following statement in the MSQuery:
SELECT
DATE_FORMAT(entry.timeBegin, '%h:%i') AS 'Beginn',
entry.timeEnd AS 'Ende',
TIME(entry.pause) AS 'Pause'
FROM timetable.entry entry<br>
All 3 columns have in the database in MySQL the format hh:mm. Ende and Pause behaves like described above and Beginn is formatted in the right way (just without formatting the field by Excel) but the content of the field has type string and with this, Excel always use 0 (zero) for these fields when calculating with them, so I get allways 0 as sum.
I know that I can build the sum in MySQL, but this is no solution for me because the user could set some filters in Excel and this is to complicated to build in the query, espacially this is only one part of a more difficult construct.
Ok, here are a few examples. 'Beginn' allways delivers 0:00 (as described above) and 'Ende' and also 'Pause' are allways equal together. So we have to consider Ende or Pause with hh:mm and [hh]:mm format:
0:00 leads to 0:00 / 1017144:00
1:30 leads to 1:30 / 1017145:30
20:00 + 3:00 leads to 23:00 / 2034311:00
21:30 + 3:00 leads to 0:30 / 2034312:30
I didn't try PowerQuery because I don't know it till now and I don't know if it is inside of Excel or MS. I don't want to install an additional tool on the PC for every user. If I had only to take it into my Excel-sheet so it could be a solution if it is functions right.
Supplement: I looked after PowerQuery and see that this will bring me problems, because the most users uses MS Office 2010 and the requirement with Excel 2010 is Microsoft Office 2010 Professional Plus mit Software Assurance and the feature Software Assurance is not present in our company.
Added: For more clearness I add a screenshot from Excel:screenshot of Excel
I get column A from SQL displayed in format h:mm.
Column B is the same just in number-format.
D2 and E2 are the Sum from A1:A10 in format h:mm respectively [h]:mm:ss.
D3 and E3 are the Sum from A1:A23 in format h:mm respectively [h]:mm:ss.
As you can see SQL delievers the Time 5:30:00 via MSQuery and Excel shows me 14.01.2016 05:30:00 which I can format in the right way (column A). Building the sum is possible (look D2) as long as it is smaller than 24 hours else I get only the hours (< 24) which are greater than a entire day. The reason for this you can see in D3 and E3.
What can I do to get the right values? I suppose the easiest way would be at the point of getting the data from MSQuery.
I have a MySQL table containing some data with the following format:
Year, Month, Value
2012, Nov, 33
2012, Dez, 34
2013, Jan, 35
...
2013, Dez, 40
and so on...
I want to do a column chart, where my categories are the Months (from Jan to Dez) and where I plot my data, [2012, 33], [2012, 34], etc.
I'm retrieving my data from MySQL with a group_concat from values, by year.
The problem: When I plot my data, if I have information to every month of every Year (since my categories go from Jan to Dez for some year at least) everything goes OK. But, if like in 2012, where I only have data for Nov and Dez, my chart gets messed up because the data is assumed as being from Jan and Fev (for example).
How can I solve this? There must be a better way than adding zeros to the string data I suppose. Maybe a different type of MySQL query? Or plotting data differently?
I appreciate any thoughts on this!
Thanks!
I have to produce a report where in my row values should sum up on collapse (summary data) but column values should not sum up on collapse, rather show the last value. Here is a sample report
Fully expanded report
-2012
Jan Feb Mar
-India Chennai 10 8 9
Bangalore 15 15 16
Rows collapsed
-2012
Jan Feb Mar
+India 25 23 25
Columns collapsed:
+2012
+India 73
However, I don't need summarized data as sum for column collapse. The right data would be the last one available in the month data, which will be
Columns collapsed:
+2012
+India 25
I don't find any semi additive function available to be used in the report's tablix cells. Either i can use sum or last which applies to both rows and columns summary, which i don't want.
We don't have a problem with this in pivot table as we have defined the measure as a semi-additive measure on time dimension. The only problem is with the report designed using SSRS. Any idea on how this can be achieved?
It sounds like you are using a cube as your data source? If that's the case, don't use the SUM function in SSRS for the expression in the textbox. Instead, use the AGGREGATE function. That tells SSRS to get the value from the cube. If it's defined correctly in the cube (as shown by your pivot table) then you should get that same value in your report.
