Filter a Dataset

Hi there,
I'm writing a website which compares products.
What I want to do is display all the items in a dataset (got
that done with spry dataset in CS4, reading live from SQL), then
have some dropdown menu's which update the data displayed.
The products i'm displaying have lots of fields, one of these
is price. I want the drop down to have price ranges, such as 0-20,
21-50 etc etc.
Are there any guides or tutorials that will help ?

Add new parameter in SSRS report and pass it down to query .
In the query add a filter like below
WHERE....
AND (name <> 'test1' OR @NewParameter = 'No')
or if you want to do this in SSRS dataset do like below
=IIF(Parameters!NewParameter.Value="Yes",Fields!Name.Value,0) for Expression
<> for operator
and
=IIF(Parameters!NewParameter.Value="Yes","test1",1) for Value
in dataset filter tab as per below

SSRS filter a dataset if parameter is "Yes"

hello i have a report as below
with date Parameters this all works fine!
date from date too
01/01/2011 21/02/2013
name amount date
test1 100

How can ew add filter in Dataset of MDX Query

Hi,
I am working on TFS 2010 Report with Report Builder 3.0
I need to fetch data on basis of Start Task Date(means when user start their task).
So i have added a new field in a TFS Work Item Template with name StartTaskDate.
Now i need to fetch the report FromTaskDate to TOTaskDate(Date Range Filter).
so how can we do this with filter option?
Can any body help me on this.
Thanks

Hi rohitnegi09,
If you want @FromTaskDate and @TOTaskDate parameters are Date/Time data types, please refer to my last reply in the following thread:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/db75abb9-2250-463a-8ef3-70426f617329/mdx-report-on-date-range?forum=sqlreportingservices
If you want @FromTaskDate and @TOTaskDate parameters are Text data types, we can directly type the following MDX query in the dataset:
select
{[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]
} on columns,
{[Date].[Date].members} on rows
from(
select
STRTOMEMBER("[Date].[Date].&["+@FromTaskDate+"]"):STRTOMEMBER("[Date].[Date].&["+@ToTaskDate+"]")
) on columns
from [Adventure Works]
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

Lookup or Filter multiple datasets in an Expression?

Hi
I am new to Visual Studio and am trying to find my feet.
I have a totals form which I can use an Expression to select all the data from multiple datasets fine, but I am wanting to filter the results to just show a single user at a time on my form. (Dataset shows Users and Grand Totals)
Is it possible to use an Expression to say (Select ["Grand Totals" from Dataset1] where ["User" from Dataset1] = "Julie Smith") ?
Thank you
Tracey

Filter out datasets with empty field

Hi Experts,
I want to filter a Table: Filter out all datasets where the FieldXY is empty. I tried with the filteroperator with expressions like '... is equal to NOT NULL' or '... is equal to NOT ''', but without result! Can some one give me the right expression?
Kind regards, Bernd

Hi Bernd,
This was a bug in SP04
I tried the
=!ISNULL(@FieldXY)
on SP05 and it worked.
Sorry for the confusion.

When I filter the dataset, though column name exists I got an error Cannot find column

In the following lines of the code
foreach (DataRow row in meterDs.Tables[0].Rows)
meterChannels = string.Format("{0} = {1}", Global.MeterIdColumnName, row[Global.MeterIdColumnName].ToString());
DataRow[] channelRows = ChannelsDs.Tables[0].Select(meterChannels);
In the following line
DataRow[] channelRows = ChannelsDs.Tables[0].Select(meterChannels);
I got an error Cannot find column [Mtr_T1]
In the debug mode run time values are:
? row[Global.MeterIdColumnName].ToString()
"Mtr_T1"
? meterChannels
"MeterId = Mtr_T1"
? Global.MeterIdColumnName
"MeterId"
Any clue?
Thanks

Hello,
The line
DataRow[] channelRows = ChannelsDs.Tables[0].Select(meterChannels);
is trying to filter the data table where the Column value of MeterID equals the values in Column MTR_T1, if you do not have the MTR_T1 column in the ChannelDS.Tables[0] you will get the error.

Filter Dataset based on a boolean value

Hi,
I have implemented a multivalued filter in SSRS,which works fine . Now I am trying to set up a second filter such that based on a boolean condition i would like to filter the dataset based on a series of values.
The boolean parameter is accomplished as :
If the user selects "True" the dataset field "Location" has to be filtered based on 3 values "NY,NJ,DC" . If False is selected no filter will be applied on the dataset . The Parameter name is 'Param_Loc' and of datatype 'Integer'
Can you help me with the Filter expression i have to use here :
Looking forward to hearing from you .
Thanks,
Grigory

Hi Mendel,
Try this once
Go to Filters in dataset properties-> then in the filter expression do the following stuff
Expression =Select the value from the dataset,In ur case it is
"Location"
Select Type = "Text"
Operator = "in"
Value = IIF(Parameters!Param_Loc.Value=True,"NY,NJ,DC",Fields!Location.Value)
In the above IIF condition what I am doing is passing the filter values if condition is True i.e if Param_Loc is selected .If Param_Loc value is not selected i.e False then u don't want to apply any filter right.So I am passing all the dataset
values in else condition.since 1=1 is universal Truth.
Please let me know if any issues and vote this answer if it helps u.
Kishore Babu K
Thanks Kishore and Visakh . Your inputs were really helpful . Kudos to you guys .
There was a slight issue with the expression . So i modified it as :
IIF(Parameters!Param_Loc.Value="1",Split("NY,NJ,DC",","),Fields!Location.Value)
Thanks a lot,
Grigory

Filter Data in Java

am developing a screen on which user can see various details of an Employee. Details includes fields like Name, Date Of birth, Salary etc.
Server side code retrieves data for an employee using different data sources. Some fields are retrieved from the database using JDBC while other are retrieved from external system using API calls.
Now, application also allows end-user to configure different VIEW filters and end user can apply them while viewing the data. For ex: User can setup a filter as "Show Employee where firstname like 'A' and DOB > '2/2/2000'.
Issue is, how do I filter the dataset?
If user sets a filter on the attribute which is getting retrieved from JDBC, I can append this filter in the SQL string as WHERE clause (for ex: where emp.first_name like 'A%'). So no issues for SQL fields.
But how do I apply filter criteria which is set on the non SQL attributes?
One of the solution which I tried to implement is converting final dataset into XML and then applying filter using XPATH. But as I understand XPATH can be used only for String and numeric values. It can not be used for dates and filter criteria like "WHERE DEPTNAME IN A, B, C, D).
Any ideas?

Dynamic filter

Hi!
I want to set a filter ''is in top'' to use dynamicly defined columns in filter.
Something like as a user changes specific column with column selector, also the filter ''column'' is in top changes.
Or doing this through some variable...
Any ideas?
Thanks
Gorazd

Thanks LC!
Your answer help me go in right direction. I wanted to achieve that I can define from prompt on which column I filter the dataset. And it is feasible, Venkat's blog shows that. I just upgraded it with bringing in model table with my presentation layer column names with which I populate prompt and then call as presentation variable in SQL filter.

Dynamic Spry DataSet Filters

Hi all, I'm trying to create multiple non-destructive filters
on a Spry XML
Dataset,
however it seems that when passing a filterfunction that's
part of an
object,
the function (SpryFilter.filter) can't reference the object's
properties,
this is remedied by calling the object's filter function from
an anonymous
method, but how do I remove the anonymous method from the
flters?
function SpryFilter(filterName, filterValue)
this.filterName = filterName;
this.filterValue = filterValue;
SpryFilter.prototype.filter = function(dataSet, row,
rowNumber)
if ((this.filterName)?
row.category.indexOf(this.filterName+":
"+this.filterValue) !=
-1|row.category.indexOf(this.filterName+": ")==-1 :
true)
return row; // Return the row to keep it in the data set.
return null; // Return null to remove the row from the data
set.
function SpryFilterManager()
this.filters = new Array();
var fmgr=new SpryFilterManager();
SpryFilterManager.prototype.addFilter = function(dataSet,
filterName,
filterValue, apply)
this.filters[filterName]=new SpryFilter(filterName,
filterValue);
// define anonymous function that calls the filter object's
function
var f = function(dataSet, row, rowNumber){return
fmgr.filters[filterName].filter(dataSet, row, rowNumber);};
// pass anonymous function to dataset
dataSet.addFilter(f, apply);
SpryFilterManager.prototype.removeFilter = function(dataSet,
filterName,
apply)
if(this.filters[filterName])
//define same anonymous function as above
var f = function(dataSet, row, rowNumber){return
fmgr.filters[filterName].filter(dataSet, row, rowNumber);};
// FIXME: this does not remove the other
anonymous function
dataSet.removeFilter(f, apply);

Nevermind I found a solution.
By storing a reference to the executive function in the
filter object, that
reference can be passed to SpryDataSet.removeFilter()

Filter in ssrs 2008

I need help in ssrs 2008 reporting, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I need to filter a dataset by a date field (just by year though) either all the years or just one year. I created a custom field to pull the year out separately however, how do I write the filter to pull either all records or just a specific year.

Hi BonnieSant,
As per my understanding, you want to use the year as search condition, when you select all years or just one year, all the data meets the condition will be displayed in the report. If so, we can use the year as a parameter, then when you preview the report,
you can select specific years from the parameter drop down list to filter specific data. For detail information, please refer to the following steps:
In the Report Data pane, right click Parameters, and click Add Parameter.
In Report Parameter Properties dialog box, type the name and prompt. Select data type, check Allow Multiple Values check box.
Click Available Values, specify values manually or select Get values from a query.
Click Default Values, and set default values for the parameter, the default values should be included in available values.
Now that the parameter was created, to use the parameter in the report, we need to add a filter, then we can use the parameter as search condition. Please follow these steps:
Right click the DataSet you used to retrieve data and click Dataset Properties dialog box.
Click Filters in the left pane, and click Add.
In Expression, select the field from the drop-down list, then set Operator to In, in the Value text box, verify that the value is [@ParameterName], then click OK.
For more information about Using Single-Value and Multi-value Parameters, please refer to the following article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd255279(v=SQL.100).aspx
If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know.

Filter on Load

I would like to filter a dataset when the page loads but, at
the moment, nothing happens.
The code is
FirstsSDS.filtered = true;
FirstsSDS.filterFunc = function (itemA:Object) {
return(itemA.RoundScored == 1);
Other filters on the page work when they are within a
listener. It's only this one. Any thoughts?
Cheers

What is the exact version of your Creative MediaSource 5. Have you tried uninstalling and re-installing your Creative MediaSource 5?

Filter on multiple values

I am attempting to filter a dataset with multiple menus. The
menus are made up of text links.
I need a function that will take values from the text links
and apply them as filters to the dataset. Each time a link is
clicked it will pass another value (up to a total of 3) that will
further filter the dataset. This should provide my users with a
powerful searching tool.
For instance, the possible links that might be clicked are:
MENS SIZE MEDIUM
COLOR GRAY
LONGSLEEVE
I'm not sure how to write the function and I'd also
appreciate direction on how to create the onclick portion of the
link to the pass the values correctly.
Thanks!

What you want is "fairly" complicated. I can point you in the
right direction on how to do multiple filters though.
Here is the multiple filter documentation:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/data_region/MultipleFiltersSample.html
Here is an example of the filters working at foxsports that I
created.:
http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/draftTracker
I put in comments that should help you understand it a lil'
better. Look for "function filterMe(me)" in the source code.

Spry repeted region: only at filtering

Hi all:
I made a typical spry region with a table and an spry:repeat. Also I included a form with a text field and a button for filter. Everything works fine.
When the user loads the page, all data is shown and that was fine while the XML file has few data. But now I have about 2500 rows and it has no sense to show all the data at first. I'd like that when the user load the page, it shows the page with no data. The data must be shown only when a filter is executed.
I tried with this:
<script type="text/javascript">
var dsMyData = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("xml/data.xml ....
dsMyData.filter(null);
and it works but..... it takes some time to process... almost the same if all data were shown. Also I tried moving the dataset's declaration to other parts of the code with no success. Is there a way to make the dataset works only when the user click my search button and not when the page is loaded?
Thanks a lot and sorry my english
PC

I tend to use XPath to filter larger datasets. On change of the selected item you can change the value of XPath to show that data range.

SSRS Chart does not show all data

Hi,
I have a report from a cube. I'm using filters to get data. I have filters by year and month, I have a chart that shows data initially from a month. My problem is when I filtered data of different years, for example:
If I select Year 2014, Months: Jan 2014,Feb 2014, Mar 2014, May 2014, Apr 2014, Jun 2014. The information is displayed correctly.
If I select Year 2014 and 2013, Months: Nov 2013, Dec 2013, Jan 2014,Feb 2014, Mar 2014, May 2014, Apr 2014, Jun 2014. Only displays information for year 2013 (Nov 2013, Dec 2013).
Also I have a tablix, using the same dataset that chart, and in this tablix I have not this issue.
¿How can I do that chart displays the information I select in filters?
Greetings

Hi Pamela G,
According to your description, you have issue on filtering data in your chart. When you select more than one year (2013 and 2014) in parameter, it only return the data for months of 2013. Right?
In this scenario, since it shows all months for both years in the month parameter, it seems no issues on cascading parameter. So it may has issue in the filter. We are not sure you add the filter on dataset or chart based on your information. If you add
the filter on dataset, you may need to check the chart design because the same dataset is working in a tablix. Please try to put the Year into Series or add a calculate field which combine the Year and Month in your dataset then put this field in
Category. If you add the filter on chart, please check the Operator and Values in your filter. One possibility is, when we set expression for Values, if we double click the parameter, it will return "Parameter!Year.Value(0)" by default, we need to change it
into "Parameter!Year.Value". If it's still not working, please post some more detail information or screenshots about the dataset and filters. This may help us reproduce your issue in our local environment.
Best Regards,
Simon Hou
