Date order in SSRS report

Hi All;
I am using below formula for date order in SSRS
=Format( Fields!scheduledstartValue.Value,
"MM yyyy")
Date comes in teh order as below
for teh year 2014 order is right but 2015 should be at the last
Any much appreciated
Thanks
Pradnya07

Thats because Format causes values to return as string type
Use sort expression as
=Fields!scheduledstartValue.Value
And use the format expression only for the display
Please Mark This As Answer if it helps to solve the issue Visakh ---------------------------- http://visakhm.blogspot.com/ https://www.facebook.com/VmBlogs

Hi MNRSPDev,
Sorry for the delay.
According to the current description, I understand that you want to specify column name in dataset query designer dynamically when using SharePoint list data source.
Based on my research, this is not supported by default. As a workaround, you can use XML data source. The XML content can be embedded directly within the query. This lets you use the expression capabilities within the processing engine to build queries and
data dynamically within the report. And it can be used for retrieving XML data directly from an external data source, passing it using parameters, and embedding it within the query.

En-CA Language has incorrect Date Format in SSRS report

When I set the Language on a Report to "en-CA", then dates are formatted as dd/mm/yyyy.
This differs from the OS default format of yyyy-mm-dd for en-CA.
Is there any way to tweak the date format for a specific Language in SSRS?
Please don't say I need to add Format() calls to all of the dates in the reports... What I want to do is just give SSRS the correct date format for "en-CA" and let it do the work of formatting automatically.

Hi Andy,
In Reporting Services, by default, formats for date are determined by the report server language at run time. The report server language is the language of the operating system on which the report server is installed. This language is determined by the regional
settings of the computer.
Generally, the report server language supports for all ten of the SQL Server languages. But the en-CA language is not supported by SQL Server. In this way, the report server uses the mostly closely matched language of the operating system as the language.
For example, the operating system is Canada English. Because Canada English and U.S. English are in the same language family, it chooses the SQL Server language resource that most closely matches Canada English (in this case U.S. English). So the date format
uses en-US format.

WCF Service as Data source in SSRS report with Complex Types

Hi All,
I have a requirement where we are suppose to use WCF service as datasource in SSRS. I was able to do that when the WCF response type was simple.
Now the requirement have changed where the response type is complex . I couldn't figure out a way of accessing WCF with complex types.
Any pointer will be of great help as I couldn't find any related articles for this kind of scenario.
Raj

Hi Raj,
WCF uses a serialization engine called the Data Contract Serializer by default to serialize and deserialize data (convert it to and from XML). All .NET Framework primitive types, such as integers and strings, as well as certain types
treated as primitives, such as DateTime and XmlElement,
can be serialized with no other preparation and are considered as having default data contracts. Many .NET Framework types also have existing data contracts. For a full list of serializable types, see Types
Supported by the Data Contract Serializer.
New complex types that you create must have a data contract defined
for them to be serializable. You can explicitly create a data contract by using DataContractAttribute and DataMemberAttribute attributes.
This is normally done by applying the DataContractAttribute attribute
to the type.
You can refer to :
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms733811(v=vs.110).aspxhttp://www.codeproject.com/Articles/738844/Using-WCF-Data-Contract-Known-Types-by-Example

Calling a Web Service in a SSRS Report - Error Converting String to Generic List of Strings

Hello,
I am using SSRS version 2005 and am trying to call a web service to retrieve data for a SSRS report. I've looked on Google and MSDN for the past 2 days and have exhausted all options. Here are the details...
The web service method I am calling accepts 4 parameters...
Parameter 1 = Generic list of strings
Parameter 2 = DateTime
Parameter 3 = Int
Parameter 4 = Int
I have created a function (on the CODE tab in report properties) in my report that gets passed a comma delimited string and returns a Generic List of Strings that I use to format Parameter 1. The code for the function is as follows:
Public Function GetIDs(ByVal IDList as String) As List(Of String)
   Dim stringArray() = IDList.Split(",")
   Dim genericList As New List(Of String)(stringArray)
   Return genericList
End Function
I am passing a string to the function that looks something like this:
"1,2,3,4"
When I try to PREVIEW the report, I get an error that reads:
"There is an error on line 0 of custom code: [BC30002] Type 'List' is not defined"
I've tried changing the function declaration to pass back a string array:
Public Function GetIDs(ByVal IDList as String) As String()
    Return IDList.Split(","c)
End Function
This returned the error (from the web service):
"Error in line 5 position 22. Expecting state 'Element'.. Encountered 'Text' with name ", namespace"
I have also tried changing the function declaration to pass back an array:
Public Function GetIDs(ByVal IDList as String) As ARRAY
This also produced the error:
"Error in line 5 position 22. Expecting state 'Element'.. Encountered 'Text' with name ", namespace"
I know that this particular web service method DOES work because it is coded to accept nulls in the first parameter. So... when I call the method with nulls, it returns a recordset of ALL data (this works fine). Only when I pass a string to the function (which "filters" the recordset by the ID list), does the error occur.
Is SRSS limited with respect to VB.NET code so that the List(Of String) statement is not recognized? Has anyone done this before and if so, how did you convert a comma delimited string to a Generic List of Strings within a function in the SSRS report?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Bob

Hi Bob,
By default, in custom code, in order to use a variable or function that is not in the "System" namespace, we need to provide the full name.
In this case, the full name of the "List" is "System.Collections.Generic.List"
So, to solve the issue, please use the following code:
Public Function GetIDs(ByVal IDList as String) As System.Collections.Generic.List(Of String)
Dim stringArray() = IDList.Split(",")
Dim genericList As New System.Collections.Generic.List(Of String)(stringArray)
Return genericList
End Function
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

How to consume the Calendar Exception details from Project Server 2013 to an SSRS report using PSI ?

Hello,
Can anyone guide me how to access the calendar exception details from Project Server using PSI?
I need to extract calendar details of enterprise resources , like exception name, exception type, exception start date and exception end date into my SSRS report hosted in SharePoint 2013 and 2010.
I would be helpful if I can get a sample of this. I have read through many PSI documents in fact still going through ,what PSI does and doesn't , PSI methods etc. from Project Server SDK and MSDN . Moreover, I
am a beginner in .NET programming. I am confused and have lots of questions in my mind, like which PSI service should be used in my report(is it just Calendar.svc), can we pull the details as XML type data source my SSRS report ,are
there any other configuration settings apart from " setting up an event handler by installing an event handler assembly on each Project Server computer in the SharePoint farm, and then configuring the event handler
for the Project Web App instance by using the Project Server Settings page in the General Application Settings of SharePoint Central Administration" (as per prerequisites for PSI in SDK) , how can I implement authentication settings
-(when user with proper SharePoint permission
can accesses the SSRS report )
Kindly bear with me if my questions are not appropriate .
Please do guide me, and .
Thanks in Advance!!

Hi Brendan,
Project server reporting database doesn't contain the calendar info. The only supported way to use the PSI to read the calendar info from Published database.

How to get period date of for a given month from a given date in mdx for SSRS report (mm/dd/yyyy)

I have a situation, where i need to write expression Period to date(PTD). i want to know how to get the period date. i want you to help in writing Period date or else is there any function to get period date for a given date(the date is given
from the parameter dynamically) in MDX for SSRS report
ram

Hi ram,
Per my understanding that you want to get the period date based on the month selected and the given date, right?
Could you please provide details information below to help us better understanding your requirements, thus we will be more effective to provide an solution:
What is the format of the period date you want to get, is this date in the DB and you want to filter it based on the month and the given Date?
Did the month and given date are two parameters in the report? if possible, could you please provide some sample data in the DB and also the snapshot of the report structure
I assume you want to get the period date(mm/dd/yyy) between the select month(e.g:Feb) and the given date (10/1/2014) and you should get the date between(02/01/2014-10/1/2014).
If so,and you also have two parameter "Month","EndDate"(EndDate is the given date), please reference to details information below:
You can create an new parameter "BeginDate" (Date/Time) which is the begin date of the period, you can use the expression to get the value based on the value of the month and the year value from the given date,finally hide this parameter:
Specify the available value:
Label:=Parameters!Month.Value &"/01/"& DatePart("yyyy",Parameters!EndDate.Value)
Value:=CDate(=Parameters!Month.Value &"/01/"& DatePart("yyyy",Parameters!EndDate.Value))
Specify the default Value:
Value:=CDate(=Parameters!Month.Value &"/01/"& DatePart("yyyy",Parameters!EndDate.Value))
Add filter to the dataset as below:
Preview you will get all the date in the given Period:
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

SSRS report with tabular model - MDX query to filter parameter data based on Tuple value.

Hello Everyone,
I am working on SSRS report in which a tabular model is being used as a backend.
I want to filter the report parameters which are dependent to other parameters. Like, country, state, and cities drop downs.
All are multi-select parameters. I am using MDX queries to filter the parameters data.
Based on selected one or more countries, the data of states needs to be filtered.
The point is the text which is being displayed in state dropdown for each state name is combination of 3 different members.
So, I created the following Tuple for the same and can see the expected display names in states dropdown.
"("+
[Location].[Code 1].CURRENTMEMBER.UNIQUENAME +","+
[Location].[Code 2].CURRENTMEMBER.UNIQUENAME +","+
[Location].[Descr].CURRENTMEMBER.UNIQUENAME +")"
Now, when I would like filter the cities data based on selected one or more states, I am unable to pass the multiple Tuples (more than one selected Tuples) as parameter for cities dropdown.
The following is my query for City parameter. It is working well when I select only one State from the dropdown.
However, when I select multiple states, it is unable to convert the Tuple into SET in ELSE part of IIF condition specified in following query.
Can anybody help me how to resolve the error that I am getting about STRTOSET function?
Or
Are there any other alternatives to achieve this requirement?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Query:
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterCaption] AS [City].[City Business].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_CAPTION
MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterValue] AS [City].[City Business].CURRENTMEMBER.UNIQUENAME
MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterLevel] AS [City].[City Business].CURRENTMEMBER.LEVEL.ORDINAL
SELECT {[Measures].[ParameterCaption], [Measures].[ParameterValue], [Measures].[ParameterLevel]} ON COLUMNS ,
[City].[City Business].Children ON ROWS
FROM (
SELECT ( STRTOSET(@State, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM [Model])
WHERE ( IIF( STRTOSET(@State).Count= 1,
STRTOTUPLE(@State, CONSTRAINED),
STRTOSET("{
("+
[Location].[Code 1].CURRENTMEMBER.UNIQUENAME +","+
[Location].[Code 2].CURRENTMEMBER.UNIQUENAME +","+
[Location].[Descr].CURRENTMEMBER.UNIQUENAME
+ ")
}",CONSTRAINED )) ) CELL PROPERTIES VALUE

What is the best way to create a SSRS Report with Header Data and its associated child data

So I have Member Information...Member ID...Member Addressing...etc.. I want to display this in the top part of the report like...
Member Name:
Member ID:
Member Address Line 1:
And then below I want to report on all the claims associated with a Member ID that is chosen by the Parameter. Obviously the Claim Data will be in Table format. Do I necessarily have to associate the Member Information with the Claim Information or simply
use the same parameter? And what is the best Toolbox item to use to display the Member Information on top?
Any help or guidance is greatly appreciated by this newbie.
Thanks for your review and am hopeful for a reply.
ITBobbyP

Hi ITBobby,
According to your description, you want to display all Claim Data for each Member. Right?
In Reporting Services, we can use a table to display those Claim Data and make them group on Member ID. If you want to display the Member Information, we can put the data fields on parent group level. Then we can use create a parameter to filter the Member
ID we need. We have tested this scenario in our local environment. Here are steps and screenshots for your reference:
1. Create a DataSet(DataSet1) which contains the data fields of Member and Claim.
2. Create a table and drag the Claim data into the table.
3. In Row Group. Right click on Details and add a parent group.
4. Select Member_ID in Group by.
5. Right click on the textbox of Claim data. Select Insert Row->Outside of Group-Above. Drag the MemberName into the inserted row.
6. In Report Data, right click on Parameter-> Add Parameter.
7. Type Member_ID in Name and Prompt, select allow multiple values.
8. In Available Values, select get data from a query. Choose DataSet1, select Member_ID in values and label. You can also set this in Default Values if you need.
9. Save and preview.

SSRS Report Data Caching Problem in Internet Explorer

HI All,
We have setup reporting server in native mode and have deployed SSRS reports on reporting server and mapped it to sharepoint page with report viewer web part.
The changes on the data is not getting reflected on the report unless I close the browser completely and reopen the URL but at the same time for other rdl reportr, data is getting changed on same brower. so it doesn't seems to be the browser issue (not sure).
Also the both reports are almost same.
Any Idea Guys...whats happening with the report or how I can make it work to refresh data properly. I already have tried "Auto Refresh" option in rdl and it refreshes the browser but data doesn't gets refreshed. Also I had deleted cookies, clear the cache
but it also did not work for me.
Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Nipendra Garg

Hi Nipendra Garg,
This might be caused by the refresh behavior of Internet Explorer. When visit a webpage with the same URL, IE may use an old version of this page which stored in browsing history.
If you're calling the report from a URL, add &rs:ClearSession=True. This will cause the browser to refresh the report every time it's called.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

SSRS Report Group By Vertical and Horizontally with Detail Data

Dears,
I am expecting your help to achieve blow task in SQL Reporting Service. I am pulling data from a SharePoint List and my data set looks like below; and, I need to show those data in following layout;
Group by: Destination and Week (vertical, horizontal)
Detail : JobNo and VessleName (no aggregation and should show detail text data)
How could I show that in SSRS Report? I tried Matrix and couldn’t get that layout yet; it shows me always 1<sup>st</sup> Job NO and Vessel Name for each Destination, not showing the rest.
Kindly share with me guide lines attached is for your reference.

Dear Ricardo,
I was trying your project with my real data and was not success.
Also, when I check in details with my test data, I saw that Job2 is missing in your output.
I can not find any reason why it is missing, could you please tell me what could be the reason?
Also, it takes first lines of each Destination form below data as well, appropriate if you can test below data also.

How to display an "All Day Event" date correctly in an integrated SSRS Report?

I have two event items in a calendar list in SharePoint 2010. Both items have the same start time and end time. One of them, however, has the "All Day Event" checkbox checked. If I access them through a REST service, this is how the data is
returned:

<d:StartTime m:type="Edm.DateTime">2014-03-21T00:00:00</d:StartTime>
<d:EndTime m:type="Edm.DateTime">2014-03-25T23:55:00</d:EndTime>
<d:AllDayEvent m:type="Edm.Boolean">false</d:AllDayEvent>

<d:StartTime m:type="Edm.DateTime">2014-03-21T00:00:00</d:StartTime>
<d:EndTime m:type="Edm.DateTime">2014-03-25T23:59:00</d:EndTime>
<d:AllDayEvent m:type="Edm.Boolean">true</d:AllDayEvent>
I have a report in the same SharePoint 2010 site that uses SSRS in integrated mode. The data source is the calendar list mentioned above. The date fields are not formatted, just displayed as them come from the list/database.
My locale is set to en-US. When I run the report, the start date for item 1 is displayed as "3/21/2014" ('all day' set to false) but the start date for item 2 is displayed as "3/20/2014" which is incorrect ('all day' set to true).
I did some research online and found out that SharePoint stores all date fields as UTC except for 'All Day Events', which are stored in local time (our servers are in Central Time, but I'm running the report fom Pacific Time, in the US).
I coudn't find a solution to display the date correctly in the integrated SSRS report. Is there a way, maybe some straightforward formatting, to show All Day Event dates correctly? I tried adding hours but this is inconsistent with daylight saving hour changes.
I would appreciate any help.
C#, Sharepoint

Hi SharpBud,
The date for all day event stored in SQL in GMT time, the start time for an all day event returns the start time in GMT time, which is not the current time most likely.
This is a confirmed issue, as a workaround, I would suggest you to use a calculate column for the event for the column, using the following format:
IF(TEXT(([End Time]-[Start Time])-TRUNC(([End Time]-[Start Time]),0),"0.000000000")="0.999305556",IF([Start Time]=ROUND([Start Time],0),[Start Time],DATE(YEAR([Start Time]),MONTH([Start
Time]),DAY([Start Time])+1)),[Start Time])

How to relate current day to date hierarchy [year - month - day] for SSRS report paramenter

Hi there:
I've created a SSRS report based on OLAP cube. In this report, there is a date parameter which is used to filter out data.
Now , I want this report to be run and always retrieve data from previous day. I need to supply the date parameter with something
like SQL syntax: DATEADD(dd,-1,GETDATE()) . The question is how can I do that in the MDX world?
thanks
Hui
--Currently using Reporting Service 2000; Visual Studio .NET 2003; Visual Source Safe SSIS 2008 SSAS 2008, SVN --

Hi Hui,
According to your description, you need to retrieve data from previous day, so you are looking for an expression in MDX which can achieve the requirement like SQL syntax: DATEADD(dd,-1,GETDATE()), right?
As per my understanding, it easy to achieve this requirement in report level ranther than in MDX query level. You can create another hidden parameter "Date2" using the expression below.
=DateAdd("d",-1,Parameters!Date.Value)
Then use Date2 parameter to filter in the query.
If don't want to create another parameter, you can use it like below.
Year     =DatePart("yyyy",DateAdd("d",-1,Parameters!Date.Value))
Quarter =DatePart("qq",DateAdd("d",-1,Parameters!Date.Value))
Month    =DatePart("mm",DateAdd("d",-1,Parameters!Date.Value))
Week     =DatePart("ww",DateAdd("d",-1,Parameters!Date.Value))
Besides, DateAdd function is supported in MDX, please refer to the link below.

SSRS Report date parameter values using SSAS Cube as datasource

Hey Guys,
i m building an SSRS report using SSAS cube as the data source. The report contains shared data-sets which provide the required data. below is the set up.
Sql server version : Sql server 2008R2
Report builder 3.0
I have, Report A, powered by Dataset D, running on Cube C. The dataset has 3 parameters out of which one of them is a date parameter- P1. I have it set up such that on the report there is another parameter - P2 which contains the type as Date ( to
ensure the user is exposed to a date picker), the input from this, P2 is then manipulated to required format before fed into the dataset parameter P1 (hidden). I have two questions regarding this parameter.
Currently, when the user pick's a date (P2) which has no values, the report errors out as it doesn't find that corresponding member on the cube. Can it be made such that if the member doesn't exists, a simple error message like "date not found"
pops up as opposed to report failing?
Secondly, can i manipulate the date picker (P2) exposed to the user such that the unavailable dates are grey'ed out on the date parameter (P2)?
Please let me know if there is any more info required on each of the questions.
Thanks
