SSRS LYTD Calculations

I have the following matrix report layout:
| YEAR
| Program
SalesRep | Month | Sum(Last Year Stuff) | Sum(This Year Stuff)
How do I calculate YTD for 2013, 2014?
I tried this expression below, it worked on month level (showing Jan) but YTD Total showed 12 month total.
= round(Sum(iif(Fields!month_date.Value>DatePart(DateInterval.Month,Parameters!date.Value),0, (Fields!Prev12MonthStuff.Value))))
I tried to put sum(ReportItems!TextboxStuff.Value) into YTD (group total) row, but got an error:
“Aggregate function can be used only on report itemscontained in page headers and footers”

Hi BrBa,
Per my understanding that you want to calculate the YTD value of each year based on the Calendar date parameter, right?
I have some doubt about what the expect value of YTD you mean, for example, you have mentioned that if Parameters!date.Value='1/27/15' , you will expect to see LYTD sales up to 1/31 for 2013,2014,2015 ,If that means get the value of the Month Jan
of each year like below, right?
              2013                       2014
      2015
YTD 17,813   24,184         24,184   14,814      31,486   51,616
If you select "2/01/2015", it will calculate the YTD for each year of (Jan + Feb) ?
I have tested on my local environment that using the expression as you have provided can get the aggregate value of the months based on the data in the parameter as below:
= round(Sum(iif(Fields!month_date.Value>DatePart(DateInterval.Month,Parameters!date.Value),0, (Fields!Prev12MonthStuff.Value))))
You can see the expression works fine as you expected.
Please provide the sample data of all the field of the table in the DB and also more details information about the YTD values you want to get if I have some misunderstanding.
Any problem, please feel free to ask.

SSRS with calculated dimension members SSAS

Hello everybody,
I have an interesting scenario involving a SSRS report with a matrix connected to a SSAS cube containing calculated dimension members.
One of the parameters is "Reference Week". Based on that parameter, I need the measures for the previous 5 weeks.
So I created an anchor dimension "Analysis Weeks" with the members "Week -1" to "Week -5".
Everything is working fine. The only problem is the names of the columns on the report.
Currently I have "Current Week", "Week -1", etc. as column names, I'd like to show the real dates.
For example, if I choose "2014-02-15" as the reference week, I want the first column to show "2014-02-15" instead of "Current Week". The second would show "2014-02-08" instead of "Week -1", etc.
I tried to get the current column position in the matrix, which I could use the with @ReferenceWeek parameter, but I can't access that property.
Any suggestion?
Thanks

If I understand correctly, your column group is on "Analysis Weeks", is that right? If so just get the value of that field and use it to get the dates.
=DateAdd("d",-1*CInt(Right(Fields!AnalysisWeeks.Value,1))*7,Fields!ReferenceWeek.Value)

Report Server 2008 R2 incorrect Data in Report (Matrix)

Hi,
i try to build a report based on a stored procedure.
Query returns data like:
The Matrix should show data per EmplID and FOSGRP (Rows) and per BaseType Column.
But the matrix shows data like this (eLearning and ILT are different Basetypes). Rows and Columns are correct but not the values, the are completly wrong, as you can see in the image above.
Matrix shows data like this:
The correct Totals should be eLearning = 11.01, ILT = 12. Where are the wrong Values come from?
Total on FOSGRP.
The matrix contains 2 rowgrouping 1. per Emplid, 2. per FOSGRP and 1 Column Group per BaseType (contains elearning/ILT).
I tried out as well with a table object and it shows as well wrong numbers.
Whats going wrong here? Wy is SSRS doing calculations on the detail data?
The RawData returned from the query works fine in Excel Pivot, its doing the correct Totals
Thank you for any idea and help
Ivo

Hi IvoSutter,
According to your description, you have a store procedure to retrieve data from database. Now you find the data displayed in matrix was different from the records returned from query. Right?
In this scenario, your report design was correct. In Reporting Services, if it only returns 4 rows in Query Builder, it supposed to show the same records in the report. Based on your second picture, it seems has other records for
the EmployeeID so that the TotalCredit is not correct. Please try to execute the query in both Query Builder and SQL Server Management Studio. Check if they return same records. As we tested in our local environment, it works properly. Here are screenshots:
If you can't get the same records in those two environment, please restart the Report Server in Reporting Services Configuration Manager.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Calculating Percent totals and Averages in SSRS

Below is a report created using SSRS. I want to be able to calculate the percentage(%) total to add up to 100 % in the Total column. For some reason my averages are not working as you can see from the table. The idea is to calculate the averages of opportunities
as well as Sold. But from my calculation, things are not adding up as I supposed. This report is not grouped by parent. How do I make this to work as it should? Thank you.
(NB: Please zoom in to view the image)
Zionlite

Hi,
According to the description, I doubt you may manually add Total and Averages columns. Did you manually add Local and International or they were in a column group?
You can use the following expression for the Opportunity Cost(averages) column in the total row:
=Sum(Fields!opportunitycost.Value)/2
How did you calculate the percentage column? If it is Sold value divided by Opportunity Cost value, use:
=Sum(Fields!sold.Value)/Sum(Fields!opportunitycost.Value)
Also try to define the scope in the expression and see if it make difference.
If there is no progress, please capture the screenshot of your design tab.(Click on the report and capture the image of your report structure)
Also, tell us the expression of the text box which in problem.
Thanks.

Calculations for a Sales SSRS Report

Hi it is my first time doing calculations for SSRS report 2012/ pls. help
I need to analyze the direction of the sales (with a graph over a period of time in days ). The X axis is DAYS and Y axis is Sales AMOUNT.
The graph should show parameters: ( cut by time, agent, customers , sales area, supplier.)
It is be done in DWH . can you advise how and where

Hi eh70,
According to your description, you want to create a chart for displaying the sales of a period. And you need to do calculation for different slices of your data based on time, agent, customers etc. Right?
In this scenario, if you want to you do calculation for different slices, you need to group the data based on corresponding data field first. However, in a chart, we can't specify a dynamic data field based on the parameter selection to group on for
series. We can only make the records group on a data field/calculated field. So for your requirement, it can't be achieved in Reporting Services. If your data source is a cube, you can have a try in Analysis Services.

SSRS 2008 Column Chart with Calculated Series (moving average) "formula error - there are not enough data points for the period" error

I have a simple column chart grouping on 1 value on the category axis. For simplicity's sake, we are plotting $ amounts grouping by Month on the category axis. I right click on the data series and choose "Add calculated series...". I choose moving average. I want to move the average over at least 2 periods.
When I run the report, I get the error "Formula error - there are not enough data points for the period". The way the report is, I never have a guaranteed number of categories (there could be one or there could be 5). When there is 2 or more, the chart renders fine, however, when there is only 1 value, instead of suppressing the moving average line, I get that error and the chart shows nothing.
I don't think this is entirely acceptable for our end users. At a minimum, I would think the moving average line would be suppressed instead of hiding the entire chart. Does anyone know of any workarounds or do I have to enter another ms. connect bug/design consideration.
Thank you,
Dan

I was having the same error while trying to plot a moving average across 7 days. The work around I found was rather simple.
If you right click your report in the solution explorer and select "View Code" it will give you the underlying XML of the report. Find the entry for the value of your calculated series and enter a formula to dynamically create your periods.
<ChartFormulaParameter Name="Period">
<Value>=IIf(Count(Fields!Calls.Value) >= 7 ,7, (Count(Fields!Calls.Value)))</Value>
</ChartFormulaParameter>
What I'm doing here is getting the row count of records returned in the chart. If the returned rows are greater than or equal to 7 (The amount of days I want the average) it will set the points to 7. If not, it will set the number to the amount of returned rows. So far this has worked great. I'm probably going to add more code to handle no records returned although in my case that shouldn't happen but, you never know.
A side note:
If you open the calculated series properties in the designer, you will notice the number of periods is set to "0". If you change this it will overwrite your custom formula in the XML.

SSRS Matrix Issue. Expression calculating in row with no data.

I have a matrix with multiple column groups for different sales channels. With in each group there are several columns and some with expressions for calculations. The rows are based on sales reps. Now not every sales rep sells in every channel, so there
are some columns in which a rep will have no data. I want them be blank or show a 0. I can do both of those. The issue I am having is in the expressions for reps that have no data, it is still showing a calculation. It seems to populate that cell with whatever
the first result of an actual calculation is. See below. For rep D and E they have no calls or sales in this particular sales channel; however, the closing ratio is showing 30.23% (which is the closing ratio for rep A). I need this to be blank or 0 or N/A,
anything other that a wrong %. I have tried numerous iif and isnothing statements, e.g. =iif(Fields!count_of_customers.Value = 0,0,Fields!count_of_customers.Value/iif(Fields!Calls.Value = 0,1,Fields!Calls.Value)) plus other i have found on the internet
but none of them work. Can someone please help? Sorry it is not a picture of the report. They need to confirm my account before I can attach pictures. But this is the set up of the report.

Hi RobTencents,
After testing the issue in my environment, I can reproduce it. To fix this issue, please try to use the expression below to instead the original one:
=iif(sum(Fields!count_of_customers.Value) = 0,0,sum(Fields!count_of_customers.Value)/iif(sum(Fields!Calls.Value) = 0,1,sum(Fields!Calls.Value)))

SSRS Using WHERE in a calculated field

Hi All,
Im having a real issue with something that seems like it should be easier than it is.
In my tablix I want to add the expression =Sum(Fields!ID20.Value)-Sum(Fields!ID20.Value) BUT I need to determine if another criteria is met.
EG - I want =Sum(Fields!ID20.Value WHERE [InOut]="In")-Sum(Fields!ID20.Value WHERE [InOut]="Out")
Many Thanks for any help

Hi LB79,
In Reporting Services, Aggregate functions cannot be used in calculated field expressions, since the data for calculated fields will be based on individual rows not on group basis. As a workaround, we can directly add the expression to a textbox of the tablix
instead of using that calculated field. For detail information, please refer to the following steps:
Right click the text box which you want to insert the calculated field, then click Expression.
In the Expression text box, refer to the following expression:
=sum(iif(Fields!InOut.Value ="In", Fields!ID20.Value,0),"DataSet_name")-sum(iif(Fields!InOut.Value ="Out", Fields!ID20.Value,0),"DataSet_name")
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.

SSRS 2012 how to use sum from one dataset in calculations in another dataset

Hi
I have 2 datasets and I would like to calculate a sum from dataset1 and then use it in calculations in dataset2. I was thinking of a lookup but I can not use an aggregate in the lookup.
My data looks like this
dataset1 (warehouse)
Site InventoryID Qty_On_Hand
A 1 5
B 1 1
C 1 7
Dataset2 (shipping location)
Site InventoryID QTY_Ord Date_required
A 1 3
2-1-2015
A 1 4
2-9-2015
C 1 6
2-9-2015
I have set up parameters to that I can choose which sites to include in the report. It is rare that all sites will be included. Normally I will set the parameters to just look at sites A and B from both datasets
In the case when my parameters are for Sites A and B I would like to come up with a report like
Inventory_ID 2-1-2015 2-9-2015 Total Qty_Ord Total Qty_On_Hand
1 3 4
7 6
I will then compare a running total of each Inventory_ID to the total Qty_On_Hand and highlight the cell where Qty_ord exceeds Qty_on_hand
I just can seem to figure out how to get the Total Qty_on_hand from dataset1 and use it in Dataset2
Does anyone have a suggestion or two?
Thank you !

You can do it simply in your query:
DECLARE @dataSet1 TABLE (site CHAR(1), inventoryID INT, qtyOnHand INT)
INSERT INTO @dataSet1 (site, inventoryID, qtyOnHand)
VALUES ('A',1,5),('B',1,1),('C',1,7)
DECLARE @dataSet2 TABLE (site CHAR(1), inventoryID INT, qtyOrdered INT, dateRequired DATE)
INSERT INTO @dataSet2 (site, inventoryID, qtyOrdered, dateRequired)
VALUES ('A',1,3,'2015-2-1'),('A',1,4,'2015-2-9'),('C',1,6,'2015-2-9')
SELECT d2.site, d2.inventoryID, d2.qtyOrdered, d2.dateRequired, SUM(d1.qtyOnHand) as qtyOnHand
FROM @dataSet2 d2
LEFT OUTER JOIN @dataSet1 d1
ON d2.inventoryID = d1.inventoryID
AND d2.site = d1.site
GROUP BY d2.site, d2.inventoryID, d2.qtyOrdered, d2.dateRequired

Calculated fields in ssrs

Hi friends,
hope everyone had a good weekend.
I have one requirement to call the value from different datasets within the same report.But the value should be returned based on multiple column join values.
Ex: Main dataset query
SELECT * FROM table a
WHERE a.ChargeDate>=@TransactionDateFrom AND a.ChargeDate<=@TransactionDateTo AND a.DebtorID= @DebtorID
dataset 2:
SELECT * FROM table b
WHERE b.ChargeDate>=@GLStartYearDate AND b.ChargeDate<=@TransactionDateTo AND b.DebtorID= @DebtorID
here i have tried to create a calculated field by joining multiple columns to use the lookup to display the value from dataset 2
My approach:
calculated field in main dataset as Join1
=Parameters!TransactionDateFrom.Value + "||" + Parameters!TransactionDateTo.Value + "||" + Parameters!DebtorID.Value
calculated field in main dataset 2 as JoinArrears
=Parameters!GLStartYearDate.Value + "||" + Parameters!TransactionDateTo.Value + "||" + Parameters!DebtorID.Value
to display:
=LookupSet(Fields!Join1.Value, Fields!JoinArrears.Value, AllocatedAmount.Value, "dataset2")
but it is giving error..Please suggest me any solution for this.
Thanks,
sam.

Hi Sam,
I have copied the RDL code , please copy and save as .RDL file. Using Lookup I did this.
In my implementaion if is not matching with your requirement, kindly let me know.

SSAS SSRS Report Action on Cell Value w/ Embedded Single Quote Not Executing

I have configured an SSAS 2008 R2 cube SSRS ReportAction. I'm having problems when the member value for a cell has an embedded single quote, e.g. abc's. The action displays on the context menu appropriately, but when I click on the action, nothing happens.
For member values that do not have the single quote, the action works as designed. I've added a calculated ember to escape the embedded single quote by adding another single quote, e.g. abc''s, with no luck. Is there a resolution or workaround for this?

Hi Mdccuber,
According to your description, you create a reporting action in you cube, and it works fine except the members that have embedded single quote, right? In your scenario, it seems that you pass this value to the report as the parameter.
In SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS), when pass values to a report, multi-select parameters have to be placed into IN statement and SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) will do single-quote wrapping for string values automatically. In this case, the original
value that have embedded single quote will be damaged. So this action not work. You can submit a feedback at
http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/Feedback and hope it is resolved in the next release of service pack or product.
Regards,
Charlie Liao

GO: "I'm actually thinking that nobody can defaut you Mr.X"
Philippe Levesque: "Good article ! I would add that changing the lease time to be shorted could help too."
JM: "A very good article, however you might consider adding this content as a section in your article about expired IP addresses in DHCP"
Richard Mueller: "More good information. Should be linked to the other DHCP article."
GL: "This is OK but a better solution for a highly utilized DHCP scope would be to shorten the lease time and/or configure a superscope."

typically used to set a property value for an object in an SSRS report is an "expression". Each of the three programming constructs you've mentioned (e.g. IIF, SWITCH & CHOOSE) are "functions" and not expressions or statements."

SSRS expression sum question

I want to add a column after Total lets say..'Progress' where Progress = sum(Actual)/sum(Budget)
The only filter on Progress is to consider only those values from months where both Actual and Budget are present.
So, e.g.
For first row: 0/0 = 0
For second row: 0/0 = 0
For third row: 28334/67060(instead of 200511) = 0
if there would have been an Actual value for the month of August e.g. 100, then (28334+100)/(67060+66614)
For fourth row: 0/0 = 0
How can I achieve this using expressions in SSRS?
Thanks in advanc

Hi rockstar283,
As per my understanding, you want to add a column names Progress, it is calculated from the values of Actual and Budget. In current month, Progress = sum(Actual)/sum(Budget), else, it is set to 0. If so, please refer to the following expression:
=IIF(Month(Fields!pmonth.Value)=Month(Today()),Sum(Fields!Actual.Value),0)/IIF(Sum(Fields!budget.Value)=0,1,Sum(Fields!budget.Value))
The following screenshot is for your reference:
If my understanding is not correct, please feel free to let me know. I would appreciate it if you could give us detailed description of your requirements, it’s also better to provide the table structure and some sample data. It will help us move more quickly
toward a solution.
Thanks,

Multiplying 2 values based on an If statement in SSRS reports

I am working on a pretty complicated report, and I am unable to get the values to multiply correctly on one line. The expression is simple, if the value in textbox293 is greater then the value in textbox294 then multiply textbox293 by textbox289 else
multiply textbox294 by textbox289.
In SSRS terms IIF(textbox293.value > textbox294.value, textbox293.value * textbox289.value, textbox294.value * textbox289.value)
I am using the actual formulas that I used to get the values, they have a nested IIF statement to return 0.00 if the value is less < 0. I am also rounding to 6 decimal places on 1 value to ensure I get the correct value out to 4 decimal places.
I have checked all of the value on the report up to this point are correct, and are displaying correctly. I have broken apart my IIF statement to make it easier to read:
=IIF(IIF((Sum(Fields!RSR_MIN_2.Value, "Revenue") + IIF((Sum(Fields!SR_Minus_2.Value, "Certificated_Exp") - First(Fields!RSR_MIN_2.Value, "Rev_Code5899") - First(Fields!End_Fund_min2.Value, "End_Fund_Balance"))
* (Sum(Fields!RGF_MIN_2.Value, "Revenue") / First(Fields!RGF_MIN_2.Value, "Rev_Code5899"))< 0, 0.00, (Sum(Fields!SR_Minus_2.Value, "Certificated_Exp") - First(Fields!RSR_MIN_2.Value, "Rev_Code5899") - First(Fields!End_Fund_min2.Value,
"End_Fund_Balance")) * (round(Sum(Fields!RGF_MIN_2.Value, "Revenue") / First(Fields!RGF_MIN_2.Value, "Rev_Code5899"),6))))/(First(Fields!WADA2011_1.Value, "Second_Year_Preceeding_WADA")) < 0, 0.00, (Sum(Fields!RSR_MIN_2.Value,

A screen shot of the report:
The value in the bottom box should be: 37,080,118.75
I have tried:
=IIF(ReportItems!Textbox293.Value > ReportItems!Textbox294.Value, ReportItems!Textbox293.Value * ReportItems!Textbox289.Value, ReportItems!Textbox294.Value * ReportItems!Textbox289.Value) and I get a scope error.
I have also tried
=IIF(CDbl(Fields!Textbox293.Value) > CDbl(Fields!Textbox294.Value), CDbl(FieldsTextbox293.Value) * CDbl(Fields!Textbox289.Value), CDbl(Fields!Textbox294.Value) * CDbl(Fields!Textbox289.Value))
I get the same scope error, part of the problem here is that in order to get things to display correctly each row in this section of the report is a different table
Row1 = tablix19
Row2 = tablix20
Row3 = tablix21
Any help here would be great

Hello,
In your case, we can try to use Report Variables to resolve the issue. In SSRS, when we have a complex calculation we can create a variable in the report. Variable can be used more than once in a report. Please refer to the following steps:
Open Report Properties dialog box.
Click Variables in the left pane. Then, add specific variable.
(Note: Suppose we have create two variables: textbox293, textbox294)
After that, we can use following expression to calculate the effect:
=IIF(Variables! textbox293.Value > Variables! textbox294.Value,
Variables! textbox293.Value * ReportItems!Textbox289.Value,
Variables! textbox294.Value * ReportItems!Textbox289.Value)

If the issue is persist, please feel free to let me know.

Exclude NULL values from SUM and AVG calculation

Hi,
I have column in report that contains some NULL values. When i perform SUM,MAX,MIN or AVG calculation on this column the NULL values are treated as '0' and included in calculation. Is there any way to exclude them while calculating aggregate functions?
As a result MIN calculation on values (NULL,0.7,0.5,0.9) gives me output as 0 when it should have been 0.5
Can someone please help ?
Thanks and Regards,
Oliver D'mello

Hi Oliver,
According to your description, you want to ignore the NULL values when you perform aggregation functions.
In this scenario, aggregate functions always ignore the NULL values, because their operation objects are non-null values. So I would like to know if you have assigned “0” for NULL values. I would appreciate it if you could provide some screenshots about
your expressions or reports.
Besides, we have tested in our environment using Min() function. The expression returns the minimum value among the non-null numeric values. Please refer to the screenshots below:
Reference:
Min Function (Report Builder and SSRS)
Aggregate Functions Reference (Report Builder and SSRS)
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best regards,
