Function in Report Builder

I have written a function in one of my reports. I get the error message "Element ST_ADDR is undefined in ADDRESS." when I try to run the report. My funtion looks like:
<cfargument name="ss" required="yes"/>
<CFSET variables.BoxNo = ''>
<cfquery name="qmailbox" dbtype="ODBC" datasource='#session.ds#'>
SELECT address.st_addr, address.type
FROM address
WHERE address.type = 'Campus' and address.soc_sec = '#arguments.ss#'
</cfquery>
<cfif qmailbox.recordcount gt 0>
<cfset variables.BoxNo = address.st_addr>
</cfif>
<cfreturn variables.BoxNo>
It is possible that there might not be a address.type of 'Campus' for every record passed to this function, that hy I check recordcount. I am open to any suggestions you have.
Thanks

Median function in report builder 3.0

I need to perform median calculation in MS Report Builder 3.0, could anyone explain how I could achieve it considering my original value are
Region - Etab - Value
Abc - Def - 10
Abc - Def - 12
Ged - Tae - 1
I need to group by Region and Etab.
I've already built a SQL query to get the Median, but I would like to be able to use Report Builder grouping for usability.

I've managed to get the proper values using hashtable the following way :
Dim theHashTable As New System.Collections.Hashtable
Function AddValue(theRapport As String, theRegion As String, theEtab As String, theRow As String, theValue As String) As Integer
Dim num As Integer
num = 0
If (theHashTable Is Nothing) Then

The first hashtable is for different tables of the report needing the median.
I then use the following command to add value
Code.AddValue("3_2",Fields!Region.Value,Fields!Etablissement.Value,Fields!rowNumber.Value,Fields!Value.Value)
Then I get the median using the expressions
=Code.GetMedian("3_2", Fields!Region.Value,Fields!Etablissement.Value)
=Code.GetMedian("3_2", Fields!Region.Value,"")
=Code.GetMedian("3_2", "","")
I've tried placing the AddValue fonction on a hidden table and in the summary row of the tables.
I get the proper value but as soon as I expand or collapse a row everything is change to blank. How can I keep the value or where could I put the AddValue function to make sure it is called on every action, for every table in the report ?
Thanks

SQL Report Builder 3.0 Automatic Scheduling feature ?

Hello All,
We have installed and commissioned a HMI SCADA solution for Shell Petroleum South Africa, We are using Copa Data Zenon for our HMI solution, Zenon's historian are writing variable values into a SQL database from where we are reading these variables with
I-net Clear Reports.
However, I net Clear Reports uses a "PLUS" license which is used for the scheduling function. The license is priced based on the amount of CPU Cores the server has and ours has 16 cores so the license is extremely expensive.
What we need :
To create a report with values from a SQL Database.
Report must be able to be scheduled, to run at specific time.
I have done some testing and used the same SQL queries we used in I-net clear reports.
SQL Report Builder 3.0 does get the variable values when you hit "run" , but it does not look like there is an automatic report scheduling function ? We want to execute a daily , weekly & monthly report.
Does a Scheduling feature exist ?? Please advise
I would highly appreciate your assistance.
Regards.
Paul
Automation Engineer

Hello，
Report Builder 3.0 is just a report authoring tool.You can design and preview the report with Report Builder,or you can publish your report to a report server or a report server in SharePoint integrated mode, where others can run it. There is no schedule
running function in Report Builder which can processing the report automatically.
SQL Server Reporting Services Standard edition or high edition support email and file share subscriptions and scheduling. You can create subscriptions that can automatic running the report based on a schedule(daily , weekly or monthly ) and send reports
to a shared folder or to an e-mail address.

Report Builder 1.0 for SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 R2

We are trying to implement Ad-Hoc Reporting using SSRS 2008 R2.
First of all, it is very unhelpful that all SSRS books are for either 2008 or 2012, even though SSRS has major changes in 2008 R2 compared to 2008.
Our instructional materials indicate that we should build Report Models to abstract out our databases into terms familiar to our business users.
The problem we are having is the difference in functionality between Report Builder 1.0 and Report Builder 3.0. Report Builder 3.0 is touted as having the modern, ribbon based interface that is supposed to make end-users feel more comfortable. However,
all the documentation says that end users are supposed to use Report Builder 1.0 for Ad-Hoc Reporting. And, it seems, that the reports generated by Report Builder 1.0 are not round-trip compatible with all the other reporting tools for SSRS 2008 R2.
The documentation we have illustrates that Report Builder 1.0 is nice for Ad-Hoc reporting, because is based on connecting directly to Report Models, and the end users can directly drag-and-drop entities and fields into their reports.
When we try working with Report Builder 3.0, it seems we must first connect to the Report Model as a Data Source and then build a Dataset query on the Report Model. Only then are some entity attributes available to be dropped into the report.
If the user decides another source column is needed, they have to go back, edit the query, save the query, and then drag the column from the Dataset to the report. This does not seem end user friendly at all!
We are also concerned that if we train our users on the seemingly soon-to-be-obsolete Report Builder 1.0, and get them used to having direct Report Model access, that at some point we will have to move them to the Dataset-interrupted approach of Report Builder
2+. Highlighting this perception of impending obsolescence of Report Builder 1.0 is that in our shop that is starting with SSRS 2008 R2, we cannot figure out how to get a copy of Report Builder 1.0 in the first place.
We just don't see our end users being savvy enough to handle the steps involved with creating Datasets on top of Report Model Data Sources. So we would have to build the Datasets for them. But in that case, what point is there in creating any
Report Models in the first place if DBAs are the ones to make Datasets?
As such, it is hard to envision a forward-looking SSRS implementation that has the end user ease-of-use Ad-Hoc reporting that the SSRS 2008 documentation presents.
What is it that Microsoft actually wants/expects SSRS implementers to do?

Concate column into char in report builder

Helllo!
I am working on a report in report builder 6.0.8.27.0 connected to a 10g database.
In my report i summarize a workers pick performance over a specified period of time on each new row (things like picks, active pick time). Most of the data is summarized using the in-built sum-function in report builder. But i have also a column in my table where i want to concate/aggregate the work zones(physical locations) that a worker has been in over a day.
A simplified example of how my input query table can look like:
user | picks | inlogged_time | work_zone
mav | 100 | 10 | AREA1
mav | 200 | 30 | AREA2
ant | 100 | 10 | AREA3
max | 100 | 10 | AREA3
This should generate a report that has this structure:
user | picks | inlogged_time | work_zone
mav | 300 | 30 | AREA1, AREA2
ant | 100 | 10 | AREA3
max | 100 | 10 | AREA3
My problem is i dont know how to concate the work_zones togheter. I tried using the PL/SQL editor for a function (using vm_concate()), but i could not get it to work and i can't use a new Select statement in my PL/SQL editor because the tables are to large for doing a new query on each row.
Grateful for any help!
Regards,
Martin

Hi,
A small modification to the above query ....
with data as ( select 'mav' username, 100 picks, 10 inlogged_time, 'AREA1' work_zone from dual union all
select 'mav' username, 200 picks, 30 inlogged_time,'AREA2' work_zone from dual union all
select 'ant' username, 100 picks, 10 inlogged_time, 'AREA3' work_zone from dual union all
select 'max' username, 100 picks, 10 inlogged_time, 'AREA3' work_zone from dual )
select username, sum(picks) picks , sum(inlogged_time) inlogged_time , wm_concat(work_zone) work_zone
from data
group by usernameOutput:
USERNAME,PICKS,INLOGGED_TIME,WORK_ZONE
'max','100','10','AREA3'
'mav','300','40','AREA1,AREA2'
'ant','100','10','AREA3'Regards,

How to use LIKE function with a parameter in Oracle REPORT builder??

how could i use parameter inside a LIKE function in Oracle reports builder?
it works in SQL plus, but not in report builder!!
Example:
select code,desc from item_master where desc
like '%&give_desc%'; ---works in SQL
like '%:give_desc%' ---doesn't work in report builder!!

Hi Renil,
You will need to use the wildcard character (%) and the concatenation character (||) to join to your user parameter.
i.e. like '%'||:give_desc||'%'

Report Builder Error: [BC30455] Argument not specified for parameter 'DateValue' of 'Public Function Day(DateValue As Date) As Integer'.

Hi there!
I'm trying to calculate the difference between two days using DATEDIFF (). I use following code for this:
=DATEDIFF(DAY, CDate(Fields!Eingang_Kundenanfrage.Value),CDate(Fields!Ausgang_Angebot.Value))
Every time I try to save the report, I get this error message:
[BC30455] Argument not specified for parameter 'DateValue' of 'Public Function Day(DateValue As Date) As Integer'.
The DataSource is a SharePoint List and the Date is given in the following format: 23.05.2014 00:00:00 (DD.MM.YYYY HH:MM:SS).
I've googled for a working solution for a long time now, but I had no success.
Is there someone who can help me?

Hi Lucas,
According to your description, you want to return the difference between two date. It seems that you want to get the days. Right?
In Reporting Services, when we use DATEDIFF() function, we need to specify the data interval type, for days we can use "dd" or DateInterval.Day. So the expression should be like:
=DATEDIFF(DateInterval.Day, CDate(Fields!Eingang_Kundenanfrage.Value),CDate(Fields!Ausgang_Angebot.Value))
OR
=DATEDIFF("dd", CDate(Fields!Eingang_Kundenanfrage.Value),CDate(Fields!Ausgang_Angebot.Value))

Report Builder: can i define a function in the rdf file ?

Hi All,
About the report builder, can i define a function in the rdf file ? and then i want invoke it in the report SQL, just like :
function Get_Ap_Prepay_Balance(p_Invoice_Id IN NUMBER, p_End_Date IN DATE) RETURN NUMBER IS
l_Amount number;
begin
RETURN l_Amount;
end;
thanks.

You can create functions in reports, but slightly different from doing it in PL/SQL
function Get_Ap_Prepay_Balance return number is
l_Amount number;
begin
assuming that you have invoice_id in your select statement and p_End_Date is a report parameter, you can refer to them in your function as :p_End_Date and :invoice_id
for example select prepay_amount_remaining into l_Amount from ap_invoice_distributions where invoice_id = :invoice_id and accounting_date = :p_End_Date
return(l_Amount);
hope this helps

Report Builder 6i not recognizing analytic functions

Hi all, in an attempt to speed up a very slow query, I applied analytic function to it. I can save the query in report builder with no problems, however, I cannot create data links between this query and others. After I comment out the analytic function, data links can be made. My colleague said Report Builder 6i is too old so it can only recognize ANSI SQL syntax. Since our DB server is using Oracle 10gR2, is there a way for Report Builder to recognize and compile Oracle 10g syntax?
Many thanks.

Hello,
Your colleague is right. Even if the SQL query is executed by the DB server , Reports needs to parse the SQL query.
The SQL parser included in Reports 6i is based on 8.0.6
You can see this version in the Reports Builder help :

Does Report Builder 6i support Spatial Functions

Does Report Builder 6i support spatial functions? I would like to use the following query in a report:
SELECT id, rseq
FROM gps a, user_sdo_geom_metadata m
WHERE m.table_name = 'GPS'
and mdsys.sdo_lrs.is_geom_segment_defined (a.geom, m.diminfo) = 'FALSE' and a.id like '01%'
It does not recognize the spatial LRS function. This query does not return geometries but rather will only return tabular information.
Thanks

Do Report Builder support custom SQL Functions

Hi All,
I’m new to SSRS Report builder. I had written a SQL query which executes really well when I run in Management Studio. I tried to put that same query in new report to everyone can easily access. I build the DataSource and connection successfully tested.
At the time of creating new Dataset, I pasted same query and that’s where I got stuck.
Is it possible to add custom SQL Functions in the Report Builder SSRS?
The Syntax of method is as follow
Create Function [dbo].[ufn_Sqlstatement]( @str as varchar(max)) RETURNS varchar(max)
Thanks in Advance

You do not need to put the create function script into the query. It only needs to be executed once. Instead, run it on the database server. Then, simply call the function from your query:
SELECT dbo.ufn_SQLstatement('select * from table')

Report Builder Wizard and Parameter Creation with values from other data source e.g. data set or views for non-IT users or Business Analysts

Hi,
"Report Builder is a report authoring environment for business users who prefer to work in the Microsoft Office environment.
You work with one report at a time. You can modify a published report directly from a report server. You can quickly build a report by adding items from the Report Part Gallery provided by report designers from your organization." - As mentioned
on TechNet.
I wonder how a non-technical business analyst can use Report Builder 3 to create ad-hoc reports/analysis with list of parameters based on other data sets.
Do they need to learn TSQL or how to add and link parameter in Report Builder? then How they can add parameter into a report. Not sure what i am missing from whole idea behind Report builder then?
I have SQL Server 2012 STD and Report Builder 3.0 and want to train non-technical users to create reports as per their need without asking to IT department.
Everything seems simple and working except parameters with list of values e.g. Sales year List, Sales Month List, Gender etc. etc.
So how they can configure parameters based on Other data sets?
Workaround in my mind is to create a report with most of columns and add most frequent parameters based on other data sets and then non-technical user modify that report according to their needs but that way its still restricting users to
a set of defined reports?
I want functionality like "Excel Power view parameters" into report builder which is driven from source data and which is only available Excel 2013 onward which most of people don't have yet.
So how to use Report Builder. Any other thoughts or workaround or guide me the purpose of Report Builder, please let me know.
Many thanks and Kind Regards,
For quick review of new features, try virtual labs: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/aa570323

Hi Asam,
If we want to create a parameter depend on another dataset, we can additional create or add the dataset, embedded or shared, that has a query that contains query variables. Then use the option that “Get values from a
query” to get available values. For more details, please see:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd283107.aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd220464.aspx

How to pass a date parameter from report builder query designer to oracle database

i'm using report builder 3.0 connected to oracle database. i'm trying to pass a date parameter in the query with no success, i don't
know the exact syntax. I've tried :
SELECT * FROM igeneral.GCL_CLAIMS where CREATED_BY IN (:CREATED_BY) AND CLAIM_YEAR IN(:UW_YEAR) AND (LOSS_DATE) >To_Date('01/01/2014','mm/dd/yyyy')
it worked perfectly.
However if i try to put a date parameter "From" instead of 01/01/2014 it will not work, a Define Query Parameter popup window appear and error occurred after i fill
the values (usually i shouldnt get this popup i should enter the value when i run the report)
SELECT * FROM igeneral.GCL_CLAIMS where CREATED_BY IN (:CREATED_BY) AND CLAIM_YEAR IN(:UW_YEAR) AND (LOSS_DATE) >To_Date(:From,'mm/dd/yyyy')
appreciate your assistance

Hi Gorgo,
According to your description, you have problem when in passing a parameter for running a Oracle Query. Right?
Based on my knowledge, it use "&" as synax for parameter in Oracle, like we use "@" in SQL Server. In this scenario, maybe you can try '01/01/2014' when inputing in "From". We are not sure if there's any limitation for To_Date()
function. For your self-testing, you can try the query in sqlplus/sql delveloper. Since your issue is related to Oracle query, we suggest you post this thread onto Oracle forum.
