Dynamic Columns in SSRS
Hello,
I am using sql 2012 SSRS.
My requirement :
I have Database which has got 100 tables.I need to create SSRS report which display top 10 records from the table within that database.
User will select The table name as parameter in the report. the number of column in each table will vary .
kindly shed some light on above problem.
I am using the below statement in stored proc, and calling same from ssrs report
exec(
'select top 10 * from ['+@datbasename+'] .[app].'+@tablename+'')
Regards

Hi Prasanna,
Just as Visakh mentioned, we can’t get the report to display dynamic columns in a report based on the different table names. So for your requirement, it can’t be achieved currently.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

How to calculate difference and percentage in matrix report dynamic columns in SSRS 2008
Hi Friends,
I need to calculate Difference and Percentage In matrix report SSRS 2008
1) Row grouping based On Product
2) Column Grouping Week and Fiscal Year Current week and Previous Year same Weeks
3)Data Invnetory(Value fileld)
Example:
If value1 and Value2 Available we need to calculate Percentage and Difference.Otherwise Not required NA I need to Show.
For example If Particular week,Current year data is available,Previous year week data is not available No
need to cal Diff and Percentage we need to show Empty.
Below Code is working for If two values is available.
If any one of the fiscal year week data is not there it's taking some garbage values.
I tries with If condition in GetPCT() and GetDiff() It's not working.
Can some one please help me on this.
I am using the custom code
Public Shared Value1 as String
Public Shared Value2 as String
Public Shared previous as string
Public Shared previousweek as string
Public Shared Function GetValue(Value as String,partner as String,Week as String) as String
If partner =previous and Week =previousweek Then
Value2=Value
Else
previous=partner
previousweek=Week
Value1=Value
End If
return Value
End Function
Public Shared Function GetDiff()
return Value2-Value1
End Function
Public Shared Function GetPct()
return (Value2-Value1)/Value1
End Function
How to handle this.
Thank You, Manasa.VHi veerapaneni,
According to your description, if one of the fiscal year week doesn’t have data, the custom code returns false results.
For your requirement, if NULL value exists in the database, we should replace it as zero then perform calculate. So within the code, we should judge whether the value is NULL. To achieve your goal, please refer to the steps below:
1. Create a table like below.
create table dif4
([Product Group] varchar(50),
[Week] varchar(50),
[Fiscalyearweek] varchar(50),
value int
insert into dif4 values
('Desktops','W01','FY14W01',0),
('Desktops','W01','FY15W01',45),
('Desktops','W02','FY14W02',null),
('Desktops','W02','FY15W02',30),
('Desktops','W03','FY14W03',12),
('Desktops','W03','FY15W03',50),
('Notebooks','W01','FY14W01',35),
('Notebooks','W01','FY15W01',56),
('Notebooks','W02','FY14W02',45),
('Notebooks','W02','FY15W02',87),
('Notebooks','W03','FY14W03',75),
('Notebooks','W03','FY15W03',105),
('Tablets','W01','FY14W01',34),
('Tablets','W01','FY15W01',46),
('Tablets','W02','FY14W02',49),
('Tablets','W02','FY15W02',96),
('Tablets','W03','FY14W03',42),
('Tablets','W03','FY15W03',113)
2. Add the custom code in the Report Properties.
Public Shared Value1 as Integer
Public Shared Value2 as Integer
Public Shared previous as string
Public Shared previousweek as string
Public Shared Function GetValue(Value as Integer,product as String,Week as String) as Integer
If Value=Nothing Then
Value=0
End If
If product =previous and Week =previousweek Then
Value2=Value
Else
previous=product
previousweek=Week
Value1=Value
End If
return Value
End Function
Public Shared Function GetPct()
If Value1=0 Then
return 0
Else
return (Value2-Value1)/Value1
End If
End Function
Public Shared Function GetDiff()
return Value2-Value1
End Function
3. Design the matrix like below.
4. Then get the expected results.<o:p></o:p>

Pivot Table with Dynamic Columns and Headers
Hello,
I'm trying to pivot a table of data where the column headers will be dynamic. While I know how to pivot the table to get what I want how will I be able to pick up the table column header from the Pivot to display in the report?
For example:
Unpivoted data is Employee Code, Branch Code, Problem Code, # of Problems.
There is many records for a given Employee and Branch that I want to pivot so the Column headers are the Problem Codes and the data below is the SUM(num_problems) for that Problem.
So the data may look like this for Tech Bob, Branch NY.
Problem = LEAK, Num_problem = 5
Problem = DAMAGE, Num_problem = 2
Problem = OTHER, Num_problem = 3
Which problem codes may appear is unknown but selecting the DISTINCT(problem) across all techs gives me the column headings to use.
So if I pivot this data, I get this Row:
Tech = Bob, Branch = NY, DAMAGE = 2, LEAK = 5, OTHER = 3
So first can SSRS handle having dynamic columns? Only Tech and Branch are known and the remaining columns are dynamic based on how many Problems they worked on.
Second, how can I set the column heading in my Tablix to be the Problem Code?
SherryYou just need to use a matrix container
Use EmployeeCode and BranchCode for row group
ProblemCode as column group and SUM([No Of Problems]) as the data expression and it will generate the columns for you based on ProblemCode values automatically.
See an example here

How to change recordset bahaviour to accept dynamic column names in the where clause
Hi
im using php-mysql and i make a recordset and i want to make the column names in the where clause to be dynamic like
"select id,name from mytable where $tablename-$myvar";
but when i do this my i break the recordset and it disappear
and when i use variables from advanced recordset it only dynamic for the value of the column not for the column name
and when i write the column name to dynamic as above by hand it truns a red exclamation mark on the server behaviour panel
so i think the only way is to change the recordset behaviour is it? if so How to make it accept dynamic column names?
thanks in advance.As bregent has already explained to you, customizing the recordset code will result in Dreamweaver no longer recognizing the server behavior. This isn't a problem, but it does mean that you need to lay out your dynamic text with the Bindings panel before making any changes. Once you have changed the recordset code, the Bindings panel will no longer recognize the recordset fields.
Using a variable to choose a column name is quite simple, but you need to take some security measures to ensure that the value passed through the query string isn't attempting SQL injection. An effective way of doing this is to create an array of acceptable column names, and check that the value matches.
// create array of acceptable values
$valid = array('column_name1', 'column_name2', 'column_name3');
// if the query string contains an acceptable column name, use it
if (isset($_GET['colname']) && in_array($_GET['colname'], $valid)) {
$col = $GET['colname'];
} else {
// set a default value if the submitted one was invalid
$col = 'column_name1'
You can then use $col directly in the SQL query. -

This is so very, very wrong! A column is an attribute of an entity. The idea that you are so screwed up that you have no idea if you want
the shoe size, the phone number or something else at run time of this entity.
In Software Engineering we have a principle called cohesion that says a model should do one and only one task, have one and only one entry point, and one and only one exit point.
Hey, on a scale from 1 to 10, what color is your favorite letter of the alphabet? Yes, your mindset is that level of sillyity and absurdity.
Do you know that SQL is a declarative language? This family of languages does not use local variables!
Now think about “month_val” and what it means. A month is a temporal unit of measurement, so this is as silly as saying “liter_val” in your code. Why did you use “sp_” on a procedure? It has special meaning in T-SQL.
Think about how silly this is:
SET @month_val = 'Month' + CAST(@month_nbr AS VARCHAR(2));
We do not do display formatting in a query. This is a violation of at the tiered architecture principle. We have a presentation layer. But more than that, the INTERVAL temporal data type is a {year-month} and never just a month. This is fundamental.
We need to see the DDL so we can re-write this mess. Want to fix it or not?

How to get the dynamic columns in UWL portal
Hi All,
I am working on UWL Portal. I am new to UWL. I have down loaded uwl.standard XML file and costomized for getting the values for "select a Subview" dropdown and I am able to see the values in the dropdown. Now my requirement is to get the dynamic columns based on the selection from dropdown value.
can any body suggest on how to get the dynamic columns in UWL portal.Hi Manorama,
1) If you have already created a portal system as mentioned in following blog
/people/marcel.salein/blog/2007/03/14/how-to-create-a-portal-system-for-using-it-in-visual-composer
2) If not, then try to create the same. Do not forgot to give the Alias name .
3) After creating a system, log on to the VC, Create one iView.
4) Now Click on "Find Data" button from the list which you can view in right side to Visual composer screen.
5) After clicking on "Find Data" button, it will ask for System. If you have created your system correctly and Alias name is given properly, then your mentioned Alias name is appeared in that list.
6) Select your system Alias name and perform search.
7) It will display all the BAPIs and RFCs in your systems.
8) Select required BAPI and develop the VC application.
Please let me know if you any further problems.
Thanks,

Hello All,
I have a requirement to generate dynamic column in the PDF.
I have got the same running using the below code
HEADER : <?split-column-header:XXX_TIME?><?split-column-width:@width?><?XXX_TIME_FROM?>
DATA : <?split-column-data:XXX_START?><?EMP_NO?>
The issue I am having is if i generate the output in pdf with small amount of data,it will work but I am not sure how much data can come at run time.
It can be sometime more than 50 or more columns also.In that case it truncates the data.
How can i do the same.
Pls help.
Thanks
SkIncrease the page size and printable page size, and reduce the column lengths,
so that you can accomadate them in single row.
BIP will run in single row, but we have option of making it to next row too.
But even if you make it in single row, page size has to support the length of the single row you are making :)..
so you got to increase the page width to Max -
DataGrid with dynamic columns & renderers
I'm developing using Flash Builder 4 & Flex SDK 4.1.
I need to manage very dynamic DataGrid components and keep their definitions, which are all part of a complex item renderer of an Offers list.
The objects structure is simplified as follows -
Data: Model --> Offers ArrayCollection --> Offer VO --> DataGrid data ArrayCollection & DataGrid columns Array
View: List --> Offer Item Renderer --> DataGrid
1. Since the DataGrid's columns property accepts only an Array (not ArrayCollection), it seems like Data Binding for defining the columns is very problematic.
I tried to bind it to the source property of an ArrayCollection that would keep my columns definitions, but it didn't really work (mainly header display bugs).
What is the recommended way to keep the dynamic columns definition of a DataGrid?
2. Each column can have a set of dynamic properties, so I created a "mutant" - Column VO that extends DataGridColumn and got a dynamic properties ArrayCollection on it.
The columns got a custom header renderer that includes an icon when there are properties.
The header renderers got 4 main states (NotSelectedWithProperties, SelectedWithProperties, NotSelectedWithoutProperties & SelectedWithoutProperties).
However, the header renderer area seems a bit buggy when maintaning dynamic columns.
Any thoughts on the subject?
3. Anyway, I ended up recreating the DataGrid's columns Array very often (copying the columns definition on the offer's item renderer's dataChange event handler).
Note that the dynamic properties can be edited when the column is selected and I copy their values from the view back to the model when entering the state NotSelectedWithProperties.
This feels way too complicated and I really try to keep it simple, inspite of the required complexity.
Does anyone have better ideas?
4. In some cases the column's item renderer should also be modified into another DataGrid (grid-in-grid).
I used the MXDataGridItemRenderer with a DataGrid and included an ArrayCollection for the "newValue" returned by the editor.
(I use RendererIsEditor=true and on updateComplete populate that variable with the DataGrid's dataProvider contents)
When needed, I loop though the data objects of the parent DataGrid and populate the related field with an ArrayCollection of key-value objects that are displayed on the internal DataGrid.
After adding this feature I encounter very strange bugs -
a. After editing the grid-in-grid values and changing the column's state (selecting & deselecting), I get the following exception:
ArgumentError. Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/setChildIndex()
at mx.core::UIComponent/setChildIndex().......6993....
All I could find about this is that it might be related to some context error or something, but I'm really stuck on this one.
b. Sometimes another column might copy value from one row to another, running over the previous value.
I'm not sure exactly what sequence of actions causes this behavior, but it's related to that itemRenderer for sure.
c. Switching places with a column that uses the grid item renderer (headerShift) causes a stak overflow of StyleManager that tried to get style from the DataGridItemRenderer. This one I just found out, but couldn't reproduce a second time... strange!
I'm pretty sure this caused another problem that I don't remember at the moment.
The bottom line is that there got to be a better way to implement this feature within this already-complicated environment.
Maybe I'm doing something very wrong here...
Please advice and thanks for reading all this.Update on item 4a -
This was a major issue (the main reason for opening this thread really) and I managed to resolve it!
As part of my application, I override the default DataGrid behavior for column selection (headerRelease event).
Instead of sorting, I change the column's header looks and define it as Selected (for showing its dynamic properties and enable its deletion).
At first I did this by setting styles, but the look didn't refresh unless I created a new instance of the header renderer.
Later I changed thi behavior to work with states, but I left the new header renderer instance creation commands and those lines created all the mess!
Conclusion -
If you define a custom header renderer for your datagrid column and then a custom item renderer, don't create a new instance of your header renderer!
It would still be nice to get some response for the other issues I raised.
Thanks and have a nice week. -
Special characters in SBWP dynamic columns are not showing for some users
Hi experts,
We have set up a dynamic columns for business workplace. One of the field displays the comments entered by the user. Some users are able to see the values entered perfectly. But for some users, if we enter special characters like @gopal, it is not displaying the value in dynamic column.
Are there any workflow/user settings need to be changed.
Thanks

Importing From Flat File with Dynamic Columns
HI
I am using ssis 2008,i have folder in which I have Four(4) “.txt” files each file will have 2 columns(ID, NAME). I loaded 4
files in one destination, but today I receive one more “.txt” file here we have 3 columns (ID, NAME, JOB) how can I get a message new column will receive in source. And how can I create in extra column in my destination table dynamically …please help meHi Sasidhar,
You need a Script Task to read the names and number of columns in the first row of the flat file each time and store it in a variable, then create a staging table dynamically based on this variable and modify the destination table definition if one ore more
new columns need to be added, and then use the staging table to load the destination table. I am afraid there is no available working script for your scenario, and you need some .NET coding experience to achieve your goal. Here is an example you can refer
to:

Problem with dynamic column in SBWP
Hi Friends,
In SWL1 I have created two attributes with header as "CANCELLED" and " DESCRIPTION" for a particular task.But my SBWP is still showing columns as "Dynamic column" for the workitems of that task.
Please help me on this.
Thanks.
DilipHi Dilip,
The column headings will only appear in the task-specific view. In other words, by default the headers will be generic because you can have mixed tasks in the worklist, and column 1 can be a date for one task and a company name for another.
The user needs to expand the tree on the left hand side and navigate to the "Approve Purchase Order" (or whatever) node to show only items of that task, then column headers should show up.
Regards,
Mike
