Linear trend line in ssrs 2008

Hello,
I am looking to add a linear trend line in my report. I am trying to replicate the linear trend line from excel.
The calculated field option like running total, etc isnt getting what we need.
Any thoughts?

Hi Ships18,
I have check your snapshot, from the excel, you have the amount in the data field, Date Type field in the "Category groups" and the field(ProductCategory) with the value of DOWNLOAD and UPLOAD in the Series groups, Now the DOWNLOAD need to display
the liner trend line in chart.
We don't have any function to automatically get the Chart like you provided in the excel. Please design the chart manually following the details steps below.
I have tested on my local environment with similar sample data as yours as below and finally got the chart as the excel shows:
Details information below for your reference:
Right click the series group to select the "Series Properties" to get the name of the Series Group like"Chart3_SeriesGroup1"
Follow the step1 in the last reply to modify the expression like below if you want to only show the liner of the download:
=IIF(Fields!ProductCategory.Value="Download",RunningValue(Fields!Amount.Value,Sum,"Chart3_SeriesGroup1"),Nothing)
If you want to show both the liner(DownLoad and Upload), you can use the expression like:
=RunningValue(Fields!Amount.Value,Sum,"Chart3_SeriesGroup1")
If you want to rename the chart Legend you can rignt click it to select the chart and select the "Series Properties"
Add expression in the "Custom Legend text" of the Legend session.
="Liner_"&Fields!ProductCategory.Value
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

SSRS 2008 - hide chart lines based on parameter selected

How to control visibility of chart lines based on Params selected by user?
By default, my report display last 3 years worth of data (including current) with Month on the x axis and Counts on the y axis. I have two Boolean parameters:
TwoYrs? T/F
ThreeYrs? T/F
if False is selected for TwoYr and ThreeYr parameters then I want to hide chart lines corresponding to last year and the year before.
What I've tried: Created 3 Series groups with filters. eg. YearSeries1 to return only current year data and applying an expression to display it if params TwoYrs and ThreeYrs = False. and so on for YearSeries2 to return current + last
years data if param TwoYrs is True and ThreeYrs = False. But I don't see where to add expression to control the display of the individual series groups. I am open to any way of doing this, but this seemed most logical.

Hi Ok-Hee,
In your Source Query just need to filter the series data based on the Parameters.
I have written sample query below:-
select * from
select 1 monthnumber , 'Jan' MonthName, 2013 year,100 amount
union
select 1 monthnumber , 'Jan' MonthName, 2014 year ,200 amount
union
select 1 monthnumber , 'Jan' MonthName, 2015 year , 300 amount
union
select 2 monthnumber , 'Feb' MonthName, 2013 year, 300 amount
union
select 2 monthnumber , 'Feb' MonthName, 2014 year, 350 amount
union
select 2 monthnumber , 'Feb' MonthName, 2015 year,200 amount
union
select 3 monthnumber , 'Mar' MonthName, 2013 year, 380 amount
union
select 3 monthnumber , 'Mar' MonthName, 2014 year, 100 amount
union
select 3 monthnumber , 'Mar' MonthName, 2015 year, 500 amount
)t
where year in (
select distinct FilterYear from
select case when @TwoYrs=1 then year(getdate())-1 else year(getdate()) end FilterYear
union
select case when @TwoYrs=1 and @ThreeYrs =1 then year(getdate())-2 else year(getdate()) end FilterYear
union
select year(getdate()) FilterYear
) t
I have created one post in my blog , you can check the result.

Ssrs 2008 r2 straight line within a matrix

In an SSRS 2008 R2 new report have placed a matrix on the end of the report for information the user wants to see at the end of the report. The user wants to place a straight line between the different infomation sections in the tablix. Here are the problems
I am having:
1. In a row I would like to merge 2 cells together so that a line placed within the matrix is the same length. The problem is that I do not know how to merge the cells.
2. When I drag a line into a cell in the matrix, the line is not straight. The line points to an angle. I have tried to change the properties of the line on the endpoint values but that has not worked. Thus can you tell me how to make the line placed within
a matrix cell to be straight?

Take a look at this post for inserting a horizontal (or vertical) line into a tablix cell:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/397d6dc4-766a-43c9-9706-5370a2bfaeb4/insert-line-into-table?forum=sqlreportingservices
For merging cells, you simply select a set of contiguous cells, right-click, merge cells. There is a catch of course. The catch is that all of the cells you are trying to merge must be in the same scope. Below are some screenshots showing a simple Matrix
with 1 column group and 1 row group.
As you can see in this screenshot, I have selected 2 adjacent cells that are both in the same scope, and merge cells is available.
In this screenshot, I have selected 2 adjacent cells that are not in the same scope. The left cell is only scoped by the row group while the cell on the right is scoped by both the row and the column group. As a result, I cannot merge the cells.

Ssrs 2008 r2 black line incorrectly being displayed

In an existing SSRS 2008 r2 report, I just added a page header so that I can display global values in the page header like run date, run time, and page number. Within the report header, I placed all the report header data within a rectangle. Now when I run
the report, there is a black line appearing after the report header but before the details of the report.
I have changed all the border colors to be white and the borderstyle to none. The black solid line between last part of report header to before the detail data keeps appearing.
Thus can you tell me how to keep this black line from end of pageheader or rectangle to before the detail data from appearing?

Hi wendy,
According to your description, I taken a simple test in my local environment (SSRS 2008R2). In my scenario, I insert a page header in the report, then use a rectangle to contain all the items (such as global values) within the page header after creating
a table in the report body. While everything goes well, and there is no such a black line between page header and report body.
As per my understanding, may be you have set the BorderColor property to Black and BorderStyle to Solid of Page header or Rectangle or Report Body. So we can double check those item properties in the report.
If this issue still exists, could you please post the .rdl file and your dataset with sample datato us by the following E-mail address? It is benefit for us to do further analysis.

SSRS 2008 Line Chart Issue.

We are facing an issue with SSRS 2008 charts. We have a report which shows dynamic number of series on a line chart. The data values may not exist for all series for
the same x axis points. We expected SSRS to connect the missing points as average and have set the empty point option to average.
The issue is that the
1)
lines for interpolated points only appear when we set the color of empty point to say red and not when it is set to automatic. We need the interpolated line in the same auto
colour as the original line as we will have markers for the data points from the DB and no markers for empty points.
2)
The interpolated lines extend backwards in the series also – we expect it to only fill the gaps and not extend backward or forward.
Are these issues known and is there a work around for these issues ? We got your name from one of the SSRS community discussions. Could you please connect us with
the right person if you are not the right contact for this issue ?
I also got following reply from one of the MS guy, it says
Hi Akshay,
The lines should not go backward. I have seen this happen before and I’ll have to double-check on what that occurs. If you
are using a Category Axis, make sure you set the sorting to use a Cdate() expression. I think that might be it ,but I’ll have to double check.
As far as using the auto-coloring on the series when you have empty points like this, I don’t think that’s possible. It would require
a DCR. You may need to implement something along the lines described in this article http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa964128(SQL.90).aspx.
When I tried the suggestions I over come the auto colouring issue and also used CDATE () but lines still extend bacawords. Can anyone suggest what to do it this situation

Hi AKshay_Jadhav,
Firstly, I am not sure who is that MS guy you mentioned without the detail name. Based on my understanding to your issue, I think you could utilize the function
IsNothing in reoprting services to have a check whether the value is null, if it is Null, you should give a average value to this point, if not leave it to be the original value. Of course, you could achieve this in T-SQL. To
the color and marker, we could type in the expression in both feature to control their display effort.
Hope this helps.

Displaying a trend line (in line chart) in SSRS

We have a line graph which plots the actual data points (x,y), everything is working fine with this graph. Now we need to add a trend line to this existing graph after going thro. the articles we came to know that there is no direct option in SSRS to draw a trend line. So we need to calculate the trend values ourselves which we need to plot as atrend line. This trend line is similar to the trend line which comes in Excel chart, do anyone know how to calculate the trend values from the actual data points. We got through several formulas, but were not clear, have anyone tried out exactly the same, if so please help us out by providing an example to calculate the trend values.

The default functionality of Reporting Services does not support trend lines. There are some additional tools you can purchase to achieve this though, which is talked about in the first link below.

Issues passing drillthrough parameters from a multi-level tablix in SSRS 2008 R2

Hello,
I am really struggling with trying creating a drillthrough report that starts with a matrix (tablix) and passing those parameters. I am using SSRS 2008 R2.
Here's my scenario:
I have a matrix that has mulitple levels where you can drill down. Here an example with all the levels open:
Active
Term
Leave
Total
128
88
121
United States
110
80
85
New York
65
30
57
Manhattan
10
6
9
Buffalo
20
23
4
Albany
35
1
44
Texas
45
50
28
Dallas
40
30
22
Houston
5
20
6
France
18
8
36
Centre
18
8
36
Blois
7
2
8
Druex
6
1
15
Tours
5
5
13
I want to drillthrough to another report - Detail Report. As I understand it, I would click the 65 for New York and I would see the detail for the 65 Active people. If I click the 2 under Blois, I would see the 2 terminated people in Blois. My understanding
for this to work, the Detail Report would need a a parameter for each of the level possibilities in the matrix that I could click: Country, State, City as well as the Status (Active, Term, Leave).
While I understand about passing parameters, what I don't understand is how to pass the parameters if they are blank. Let's say I clicked 65 for New York, I would need to pass State = New York Status = Active. But the remaining parameters (Country
and City would be null). I know Country doesn't need to be Null in this case.
My Detail Report has the parameters defaulted to Null, but whether I put the parameters in a Filter for the dataset or in the query itself, I cannot get it to ignore the Nulls.
As a crazy work-around (I think) I can put in the Where of the query something along the lines of: this:
and (a.Country in (@paramCountryCode) or NULL in (@paramCountryCode) )
and I would need to do that for each parameter. Usually I have to use 'ALL' instead of NULL, I'm note sure why.
Additionally, in the Report Action of the Main Report, I need to pass those parameters for each level and their Status. I am also not clear whether or not I need to put in all the parameters on each of the levels (Country, State, City) of the matrix. And if
I do, do I need to make the expressions an IIF statement stating whether or not they are In Scope?
All the examples I was able to find, only showed one or maybe two parameters being passed. Doing the way I am trying, seems convoluted, error-prone and tedious. I really hope that I am wrong.
Is there a better way to approach drilltrough reports from a matrix when there are multiple levels?
Thank you for the help.
~J

Hi Jenna_Fire,
According to your description, you have a matrix contains total for each group on each level. Now your requirement is, when you click on any number (data field or total), it will go to the detail report which returns all the detail information of the people
within the group scope. For example, if you click on the total of Active users in United States, it will return the detail information of Active users in New York and Texas. Right?
In this scenario, we should set the parameter (@Country, @State, @City) allow multiple values in both main and detail report. And in Default Value (@Country, @State, @City), query out all distinct values. In the textbox which contains
those total values, when set use these parameters to run the report, we only need to pass the parameters of parent groups. For example, if we click on the total of Active users in New York, we only need to pass Country, State, Status to detail report, and
in the detail report, the City parameter will use all distinct values (Default Values) because we don't pass the City parameter. We have tested this case with sample data in our local environment. Here are steps and screenshots for your reference:
1. Create parameter Country, State, City and Status in both main report and detail report. Set both Available Value and Default Value get values from query (Create a dataset for each parameter, use "select distinct [column] from [table]" as query). Set allow
multiple values for parameter Country, State and City in both reports.
2. In corresponding textbox, pass appropriate parameters in go to report Action.
4. Filter data in detail report (in where clause or using filters).
5. Save and preview. It looks like below:

How to create trend line in cfchart?

I can create a scatter chart in cfchart - but I do not know how to create a linear regression trend line in the same chart as a second data series. Kodemonki provided an answer in a forum discussion a few years ago (http://forums.adobe.com/message/192848#192848) - but I am not able to make it work (I have a dangerously small knowledge of coldfusion and statisitcal formulas). Can someone tell me where i put in my to data query variables - such as for a query that gives results for two data fields, "Item1" and "Item2".
Here is Kodemonki's solution:


     <cfset min = 0>
     <cfset max = ceiling(arrayMax(grabData["value"])) + 1>
     <cfset n = grabData.recordCount>
     <cfset sum_x = 0>
     <cfset sum_x2 = 0>
     <cfset sum_xy = 0>
     <cfloop from="1" to="#grabData.RecordCount#" index="i">
          <cfset sum_x = sum_x + i>
          <cfset sum_xy = (i*grabData.value[i]) + sum_xy>
          <cfset sum_x2 = sum_x2 + (i*i)>
     </cfloop>
     <cfset sum_y = arraySum(grabData["value"])>
     <cfset slope = round(((n*sum_xy) - (sum_x*sum_y))/((n*sum_x2) - (sum_x*sum_x)))>
     <cfset intercept = round((sum_y - (slope*sum_x))/n)>

Ssrs 2008 grand totals of report

In an SSRS 2008 report, I am placing a grand total amount in the report footer since I want the amount at the very end of the report.
The problem is when the report is exported to PDF, the amount is a long ways from where the detail lines are located at.
Thus can you tell me how to make the data in the report footer change to be closer to the detail lines?

In your report design make sure you remove as much white space as possible from the main body of the report

Ssrs 2008 r2 display only final total amount

In an existing ssrs 2008 r2 report, I want the final grand total to appear as the last amount displayed in the SSRS report.
In the 'main' matrix of the report, I have created an outside group row below the last line of the matrix.
The expresion for this statement looks the the following:
="Grand Total: $"+str(sum(cdec(Fields!TransactionAmount.Value),"datasetname")).
The total amount is correct, but this total amount line appears after every control break. Basically the amount appears every
time the control break changes by date, teacher, or student number.
The extra row I added does contain grouping references to date, teacher, and student number. Thus to solve my problem:
1. Can you tell me how to remove the grouping references to date, teacher, and student number so that the last row will be the only place the total amount will be displayed?
2. If the above is not an option, can you tell me how to add an extra row to the 'main' matrix so the report groupings do not appear on the final total line?
3. If the above 2 choices are not an option, would you tell me how to add the final total line in the final report footer and/or any place you believe the final total amount will appear only one time?

Hi Wendy,
According to your description, you want to add a row into your matrix to get the total value of TransactionAmount. This can be final total value which appears only one time in your matrix. Right?
In this scenario, the reason why the total amount line appears after each break change (data, teacher..) because this total amount line is still within the parent group. I guess you didn't add the outside group row on the top parent group. So we just need
to right click on the textbox which is top parent group, insert a row outside of group. Then put your expression into the added row. Now the total amount will appear only one time in the matrix. It looks like below:

SSRS 2012: Report Header PrintOnFirstPage-problem after report migration from SSRS 2008

Hi ,
I developed my report using VS 2008 IDE and the report header property "PrintOnFirstPage" is set to False.
The content of the header are some textboxes and lines that should show only on page number > 1.
This works fine in VS 2008 IDE in preview mode as well as with reports rendered by SSRS 2008 report server.
Recently I migrate&convert the same report to SSRS 2012 I noticed a different rendering behaviour of my report.
So in VS 2010 preview mode, the page headers content (textboxe etc.) is not visible on first page but the headers space did not colapse as it does in VS 2008 IDE preview mode.
I checked all the report properties but unable to find a solution to my problem.
I was able to reprduce the same behaviour by creating a new report using VS2010 IDE.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated
Thanks
Bodo

Hi BodoHH,
I have tested on my local enviorment and can't reproduce the issue, the issue can be caused by many factors, it can be caused by the properties setting and can also caused by the visual studio, Detais information below for your reference:
As you mentioned that you have check all the report properties, please also check the tablix,Page Header,report body properties to see if the size are the same with that in the SSRS2008.
Please open this rdl report in the report builder to see if the print layout is correct, if it works fine, the issue can be caused by the visual studio.
Please also try to upload the rdl report to report manager to check the layout.
Please also provide the snaphot of the layout in VS2010 to let us better analysis about the issue.
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.
