Lookupset in ssrs

H i All;
I have a Table in SSRS which uses the dataset ProgrammeProfile where I have Statrt date and End date parameter
and dataset called ProgrammeProfile1 exactly same as dataset Programme Profile but dont have Start Date and End date parameter
Using Dataset ProgrammeProfile I can calculate totals say =Sum(Fields!new_profilenumberValue.Value)
But using dataset ProgrammeProfile1 i need to calculate total between the dates in the report parameter
i am trying to it but didnt succeed
I used the following expression
=Sum(LookupSet( Fields!new_mainprogrammeid.Value & "," & Fields!new_subprogrammeid.Value & "," &
Fields!new_outputs.Value & "," &
Fields!new_claimmonthid.Value,
Fields!new_mainprogrammeid.Value & "," & Fields!new_subprogrammeid.Value & "," &
Fields!new_outputs.Value & "," &
Fields!new_claimmonthid.Value, Fields!new_profilenumberValue.Value, "ProgrammeProfile").length())
but gives the value as 16 which is the count of dates between the report parameter
for e.g
01/02/2014
01/03/2014
01/04/2014
01/05/2014
01/06/2014
01/07/2014
01/08/2014
01/09/2014
01/02/2014
01/03/2014
01/04/2014
01/05/2014
01/06/2014
01/07/2014
01/08/2014
01/09/2014
but i need the sum of the values of these dates
Any help on this much appreciated
Thanks

Hi Wendy Fu
Thanks for your reply
I have two dataset which are exactly the same ProgrammeProfile and PogrammeProfile1
except for Date filters
In Dataset ProgrammeProfile I am using the filter for Start Date(Search) and End Date(Search1)
<condition attribute="new_claimstartdate" operator="ge" value="@Search" />
<condition attribute="new_claimstartdate" operator="lt" value="@Search1" />
In Dataset ProgrammeProfile1 I am not using the above Date filters
as i need the total of all the vales which i do get it from ProgrammeProfile Dataset
But need the total of the selected date parameter as well
so was trying to use lookupSet
Any help much appreciated
Thanks

Conditional LookupSet in SSRS

Hi Friends,
I have one requirement where i have to combine all the classcodes for a day , staff , Period & time table conditions
Please find the sample data as follows :
Report Groupings are :
StaffSurname
DefinitionTimeFrom
PeriodNumber
PeriodNUmberseq
TimetableGroup
FileType
Requirement : Crystal logic need to be converted into ssrs. Please find the crystal logic below
Shared StringVar ClassD1;
If {vStaffTimetableFull.TimetableGroup} <> {vStaffTimetableFull.StaffDefaultTimetableGroup} then
Class := {vStaffTimetableFull.DefinitionTimeFrom} + ' ' + {vStaffTimetableFull.ClassCode}
else
Class := {vStaffTimetableFull.ClassCode};
if ({vStaffTimetableFull.DayNumber} = 1) then (
if (ClassD1 = '') then
ClassD1 := Class
else
ClassD1 := ClassD1 + CHR(13) + Class)
I have tried to use lookupset & join to combine the values in ssrs but it is combining all the values from the dataset and failing to check the condition {vStaffTimetableFull.TimetableGroup} <> {vStaffTimetableFull.StaffDefaultTimetableGroup}
Required output :
Please let me know if u need any other details.
Thanks,
Sam

Hi Sam,
According to your description, you want to display corresponding values based on the condition that when the [Timetablegroup] value is equal to the [StaffDefaultTimetableGroup] value.
In Reporting Services, we can use IIF() function to return corresponding values depending on whether the expression is true or not. In your scenario, you can refer to steps below to achieve your requirement:
1. Design the report like below:
Expression: =IIF(Fields!Timetablegroup.Value <> Fields!StaffDefaultTimetableGroup.Value,Fields!DefinitionTimeFrom.Value & " " & Fields!Classcode.Value & chr(10) & Fields!DefinitionTimeFrom.Value & " " &
Fields!Classcode.Value & chr(10) & chr(10) & Int(Left(Fields!Classcode.Value,2)) & " " & right(Fields!Classcode.Value,4),Fields!Classcode.Value & chr(10) & Fields!Classcode.Value & chr(10) & chr(10)
& Int(Left(Fields!Classcode.Value,2)) & " " & right(Fields!Classcode.Value,4))
2. Preview the report:
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

LookUpSet is Not working for multiple columns in SSRS 2008 R2

Hi Friends,
I have a problem when i use more than one LookUpSet in SSRS to display more than one value based on Day Number & other fields..Please find the below details and please suggest me a solution for this.
Crystal :
  Day1 Day2
Period 4 Arts,Maths Arts,Maths
For this in SSRS i am using LookUpSet as below based on StaffID,PeriodNumber & DayNumber like this:
= (IIF(Fields!DayNumber.Value=1,Join(LookupSet(Fields!StaffID.Value & Fields!PeriodNumber.Value & Fields!DayNumber.Value
, Fields!StaffID.Value & Fields!PeriodNumber.Value & Fields!DayNumber.Value
, Fields!ClassCode.Value
, "TIMSTF5"), "," ),""))
which is displaying correct in SSRS,But when i use the same expression to display Day 2 classes it is returning empty even though i have values on Day 2.Please have a look at the SSRS output below:
  Day1 Day2
Period 4   Arts,Maths
Day 2 Expression is :
= (IIF(Fields!DayNumber.Value=2,Join(LookupSet(Fields!StaffID.Value & Fields!PeriodNumber.Value & Fields!DayNumber.Value
, Fields!StaffID.Value & Fields!PeriodNumber.Value & Fields!DayNumber.Value
, Fields!ClassCode.Value
, "TIMSTF5"), "," ),""))
I am not sure why it is not liking to use more than LookUpSet in the same report,Please suggest me with a work around for this.
Thanks in advance,
Sam.

Hi Guys,
I have sorted out the problem.Solution for the above problem is use Max before the expression like below, since it has multiple days and periods in the Dataset.
= Max((IIF(Fields!DayNumber.Value=2,Join(LookupSet(Fields!StaffID.Value & Fields!PeriodNumber.Value & ields!DayNumber.Value
, Fields!StaffID.Value & Fields!PeriodNumber.Value & Fields!DayNumber.Value
, Fields!ClassCode.Value
, "TIMSTF5"), "," + vbcrlf),"")))
Thanks,

Issues after sharepoint 2010 sp2 upgrade

Hi,
I am using Lookupset in SSRS report to connect multiple datasets.
=Join(Lookupset(Fields!ows_SNO.Value,Fields!Serial_No.Value,Fields!Name.Value, "Dateset1"))
I have renamed the Title column as serial_No.
When i am opening the report, "Name" is not populated in the report.
Dataset Query:
<ViewFields>
<FieldRef Name="Title" />
<FieldRef Name="Name" />
</ViewFields>
Thank you.

Hi Selvarasu,
Is the Serial_No field is included in the DataSet1?
If not, then you need to change DataSet1 to the dataset where the Serial_No exists.
And for the DataSet query, it is like the format below:
<RSSharePointList xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<ListName>Test2</ListName>
<ViewFields>
    <FieldRef Name="Title" />
    <FieldRef Name="code" />
    <FieldRef Name="ID" />
</ViewFields>
</RSSharePointList>
If above cannot work, could you please provide more details and screenshots about the datasets?
Best regards.
Thanks

Why SUM is not working in SSRS

Hi,
I'm new to SSRS and am having a problem. I am trying to replicate the value of sum(sum(field)) using lookupsets and custom code function. I have this little function which works fine.
PUBLIC SHARED FUNCTION CalcPTD2(LookupArray AS OBJECT) AS INTEGER
     DIM i,Total AS INTEGER
     Total = 0
     FOR i = 0 to UBOUND(LookupArray)
           Total = Total + CINT(LookupArray(i))
     NEXT i
RETURN Total
END FUNCTION
I call this function with the following call:
Code.CalcPTD2(Lookupset(FORMAT(Fields!REALDATE.Value,"Long Date"),FORMAT(Fields!CallbackDate.Value,"Long Date"),Fields!DailyHours.Value,"DataSet4"))
The output of this function is a row of data consisting of 28, 47, 35, 43, 41
If I use COUNT on the output of the function like this COUNT(Code.CalcPTD2(Lookupset(FORMAT(Fields!REALDATE.Value,"Long Date"),FORMAT(Fields!CallbackDate.Value,"Long Date"),Fields!DailyHours.Value,"DataSet4"))) I get the
result of 9
If I use SUM on the output of the function like this SUM(Code.CalcPTD2(Lookupset(FORMAT(Fields!REALDATE.Value,"Long Date"),FORMAT(Fields!CallbackDate.Value,"Long Date"),Fields!DailyHours.Value,"DataSet4"))) I get the result
of 353
I set up a global counter and it showed it was only entering the function 5 times as expected. So where is the extra data coming from? Is this an invalid use of SUM or COUNT? What is a replacement? Earlier in my report I reference SUM(SUM(Fields!DailyHours.Value)
which is the result I am looking for. I can't reference it here because the matrix is associated with another dataset. And splitting it out into another matrix is not an option.
Thanks in Advance
Ann

Here is a copy of my expressions and a copy of my data. The expressions match up going from left to right
Code.CalcPTD2(Lookupset(FORMAT(Fields!REALDATE.Value,"Long Date"),FORMAT(Fields!CallbackDate.Value,"Long Date"),Fields!DailyHours.Value,"DataSet4"))
sum(Code.CalcPTD2(Lookupset(FORMAT(Fields!REALDATE.Value,"Long Date"),FORMAT(Fields!CallbackDate.Value,"Long Date"),Fields!DailyHours.Value,"DataSet4")))
count(Code.CalcPTD2(Lookupset(FORMAT(Fields!REALDATE.Value,"Long Date"),FORMAT(Fields!CallbackDate.Value,"Long Date"),Fields!DailyHours.Value,"DataSet4")))
PUBLIC SHARED FUNCTION CalcPTD2(LookupArray AS OBJECT) AS INTEGER
     DIM i,Total AS INTEGER
     Total = 0
     FOR i = 0 to UBOUND(LookupArray)
           Total = Total + CINT(LookupArray(i))
     NEXT i
NumberTimes =   NumberTimes +1
RETURN Total
END FUNCTION

How can I use two database in Dataset in SSRS?

Hi,
I am using one query to generate my SSRS report. In that query I am using subquery. Now I am pulling data from multiple tales.
DB used in sub query is different than the rest of the tables DB.(So total I am using 2 DB(Database))
So I see that in SSRS, I can connect query(In DataSet Properties) to one DATA_SOURCE only, how can I use other database which is I used in sub-query?
I have to move this SSRS into PROD and I can't hard code that sub-query's DB name in my query.
Please give me suggestion. Thanks!!
Vicky

In SSRS 2008 R2 you can use the Lookup function (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee210531.aspx ) and LookupSet function (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee240819.aspx
Depending on your security set up, you can reference a table in a second database on the same server using a three part name: database.schema.table. This is more likely to work for you if you wrap your SQL command in a stored procedure.

JS: "Although the outlined solution is interesting and shows the public the usage of the "new" system views finding the right dependencies, it is not recommended to describe the usage of undocumented features such as sp_msforeachdb
as there are alternatives, especially in this scenario. You could generate a query using the sys.databases view and let it print out the database name along with the use statement. In addition to this and as the statement has to be run with a high privileged
account as schema information is secured as well, it should be made safe to SQL injection. In many case in the statements there is just a concatentation of values used. You can easily inject code in here, Also make sure that names / object identifiers are
quoted with [] in order to allow also special characters like spaces in the names"

SSRS Report : Comma Separated Hyperlinks

Hello,
I want to display Comma Separated Hyperlinks in SSRS Report. I am not sure what should I change here to get this working.
Below is the flow of data.
1. Extracting value from the SharePoint List using SSIS Package Script component and filling data in SQL Table.
I have used this Table and created below view to stuff all these three links together.
SELECT ID, STUFF
((SELECT ', ' + BCM.BCMProgramDocument
FROM BCMProgramDocumentation BCM
WHERE BCM.Risk = R.ID FOR XML PATH('')), 1, 1, '') AS BCMDoc
FROM Risk R
which gives me below output, not sure why.
"<a href='http://yahoo.com'>YAHOO</a>", "<a href='http://gmail.com'>GMAIL</a>", "<a href='http://hotmail.com'>HOTMAIL</a>"
Then in the SSRS Reporting, I have placed a PlaceHolder with HTML View selected and gave above field value in the expression.
They are not appearing as comma separated Hyperlinks.
Can anyone please help me on this ? What are the changes required in above steps ?
Thank you,
Mittal.

Hi Mittal,
According to your description, you want to show three links together with comma separated from BCMProgramDocument column to a report table. After testing the issue in my environment, we can refer to the following steps to achieve your requirement:
Use the following query create a dataset:
select * from BCMProgramDocumentation
Click Fields in the left pane, add a Calculated Field as below:
Field Name: ID2 Field Source: 1
Drag a table to design surface, then insert the expression below in the detail row:
=JOIN(lookupset(Fields!ID2.Value,Fields!ID2.Value,Fields!BCMProgramDocument.Value,"DataSet1"),",")
Right-click the Placeholder to open Placeholder Properties, then select ‘HTML-Interpret HTML tags as styles’ as Markup type.
The following screenshot is for your reference:
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.

Combine seperate lookupsets - find max(), count()?

Hello, my knowledge of SSRS is intermediate. Enough to have a plan. But I need just a little assistance.
Here are the functions.
here are my three lookupsets:
-LookupSet(Fields!name.Value, Fields!name.Value, Fields!act_actualend.Value, “AccountActivities”)
-LookupSet(Fields!name.Value, Fields!name.Value, Fields!act_actualend.Value, “AccountContactActivities”)
-LookupSet(Fields!name.Value, Fields!name.Value, Fields!act_actualend.Value, “AccountOpportunityActivities”)
1) How could I find the 'Max()' of all three of these datasets. The single highest number.
2) How could I find the 'COUNT()' of all three of these datasets. The total number of rows.
If they can be done separately and then added together using variables, that is an acceptable solution. Still, I'm just learning syntax here.
THanks

Hi ebs_software,
According to your description, you used three lookupset function to retrieve data from other dataset, now you want to select max value and count of values of all three datasets.
I tested the issue in my local machine, we could not select sum and max value returned by lookupset function directly. To workaround this issue, we need to use custom code. For detail information, please refer to the following document:
1. Right-click outside of the report, click Report Properties.
2. Click Code in left pane, type the code like below:
Public Function AggLookup(ByVal choice as String, ByVal items as Object)
If items is Nothing then
Return Nothing
End If
Dim current as Decimal
Dim sum as Decimal
Dim count as Integer
Dim min as Decimal
Dim max as Decimal
Dim err as String
current = 0
sum = 0
count = 0
err = ""
For each item as Object in items
'Calculate count
count += 1
'Check value is a number
If IsNumeric(item) then
'Set current
current = Convert.ToDecimal(item)
'Calculate sum
sum += current
'Calculate min
If min = Nothing then
min = current
End If
If Min >current then
min = current
End If
'Calculate max
If max = Nothing then
max = current
End If
If max < current then
max = current
End If
'Return NaN if value is not a number
Else
err = "NaN"
End If
Next
'Select and set output based on the user choice or choice passed by function
If err = "NaN" then
If choice = "count" then
Return count
Else
Return err
End If
Else
Select Case choice
Case "sum"
Return sum
Case "count"
Return count
Case "min"
Return min
Case "max"
Return max
Case "avg"
'Calculate the average avoiding divide by zero errors
If count > 0 then
Return sum / count
Else
Return 0
End If
End Select
End If
End Function
3. Right-click handle of the column you want to count values returned by lookupset function, click Expression.
4. In Expression text box, type the expression like below:
=LookupSet(Fields!name.Value, Fields!name.Value, Fields!act_actualend.Value,"AccountActivities").Length + LookupSet(Fields!name.Value, Fields!name.Value, Fields!act_actualend.Value,"AccountContactActivities").Length + LookupSet(Fields!name.Value, Fields!name.Value, Fields!act_actualend.Value,"AccountOpportunityActivities").Length
5. Right-click handle of the column you want to calculate total of values returned by lookupset function, click Expression.
6. In Expression text box, type the expression like below:
=Code.AggLookup("sum",LookupSet(Fields!name.Value, Fields!name.Value, Fields!act_actualend.Value,"AccountActivities"))
7. Right-click handle of the column you want to select max value returned by lookupset function, click Expression.
8. In Expression text box, type the expression like below:
=Code.AggLookup("max",LookupSet(Fields!name.Value, Fields!name.Value, Fields!act_actualend.Value,"AccountActivities"))

Pass value from one dataset to another in SSRS

Hi,
We have a requirement where a value id from one dataset needs to be passed to another dataset in same report. Can anyone suggest how to achieve this?
Thanks,

You can use Lookup,LookupSet etc functions for that

SSRS report through data subscription - Connect to 2 different SQL server DB for excel attachment in EMail Deliery

I need to connect to 2 different SQL server without creating linked server for generating report. Is it possible in SSRS 2008 report service?

Yes possible
You would just required created two data sources which points to both your SQL Servers. And inside report you can create datasets based on each of these data sources to retrieve and display the data from them. In cases where you would require merging the
data from both the systems you can use functions like Lookup, LookupSet etc. Reports created in SSRS can be rendered in a variety of formats like Excel, PDF, CSV etc

SSRS Expression Month at a glance

I have a report that I am trying to regress the payment sums out month by month. I know how to do this in SQL, but no idea in SSRS. Below is what I would like the table to look like.
Year                             Month
Total Payments       Month1            Month2             Month 3
2012                              1
10,000.00                2000.00          2000.00            6000.00
                                     2
15,000.00                5000.00           1000.00           9000.00
And this would go on. I have the report built to drill down by year and month and show the sum of the payments. What I can not figure out is how to break out the payments collected month by month. I hope this makes sense.

Okay after much playing with this I have starting having success. This is what I want to do.
=sum(IIF(Fields!MPaidDate.Value = Month(Dateadd(DateInterval.Month, 1, Fields!Date_Recieved.Value))
and Fields!YPaidDate.Value = Year(Fields!Date_Recieved.Value), Fields!Amount_Paid.Value,0))
My month 1 column I left out the dateadd and I got back the right values. But when I try to add 1 month with date add it returns false.
Why do you need to write conditional expressions like this?Isnt it enough to bring MONTH(datecolumn) as a field in your dataset and use matrix control in your report? Add year to rowgroup and Month to column group to get data split up into monthwise. And inside
data part add three columns to show your measure value ie.#of orders ,
  Balance
& Total Paid

Replacing NULL and EmptyString('') with "Unknown" in SSRS parameter dropdown

All,
What I want to do is, in the SSRS parameter drop down, instead of showing NULL and Blank values(), i want to categorize them as "Unknown", so, if the user selects "Unknown" from the SSRS drop down parameter, he should be able to see all
the records that have NULL values or empty strings in that particular column in the result set.
Can you tell me, how should I handle it in my main stored proc as well as in the dataset?
Right now, i have something like this:
Where
(t1.name in (select value from dbo.Split(@TName,',')) OR @TName IN ('All'))
-- Where t1.Name has empty strings and NULL values. Both of these values should be categorized under "Unknown"
-- How would the dataset query look like? Right now I have this query for populating the drop down for that parameter:
Select All
UNION
Select Distinct Name
Order BY 1

Hello,
Please refer to the following stored procedure:
SELECT
CASE WHEN TName IS NULL OR TName = ''
THEN 'Unknown' ELSE TName END AS TName
From DemoTable
Then, use following query code to get the parameter values:
SELECT Distinct
CASE WHEN TName IS NULL OR TName = '' THEN 'Unknown'
ELSE TName END AS TName
FROM DemoTable

Sharepoint Foundation 2010 and SSRS

Hi I have one small problem with Sharepoint Foundation 2010 and SSRS Integrated mode.
We have one installation with frontend and backend server, backend is installed on SSRS server and Kerberos authentication is enabled.
There are no problem to view reports with webparts but when you make one automatic subscription to make Report PDF files in one file share, it makes 5 och 30 files.
I can only find this in log files:
w3wp!library!18!01/26/2015-19:20:33:: i INFO: Skipped creating a dump file for the error InternalCatalogException, because a dump with the identical stack trace (with signature 1778776910) was already created.

Any ideas?

Hi Dalibor,
Based on your description, my understanding is that the error occurred when automatically making Report PDF files.
Could you please provide the version of SQL server in your environment?
If you are using SQL server 2012, I recommend to update the SQL server with SP1 and CU7 to see if the issue still occurs.
And please also re-configure the Reporting Service Application and then check the results:

SSAS SSRS Report Action on Cell Value w/ Embedded Single Quote Not Executing

I have configured an SSAS 2008 R2 cube SSRS ReportAction. I'm having problems when the member value for a cell has an embedded single quote, e.g. abc's. The action displays on the context menu appropriately, but when I click on the action, nothing happens.
For member values that do not have the single quote, the action works as designed. I've added a calculated ember to escape the embedded single quote by adding another single quote, e.g. abc''s, with no luck. Is there a resolution or workaround for this?

Hi Mdccuber,
According to your description, you create a reporting action in you cube, and it works fine except the members that have embedded single quote, right? In your scenario, it seems that you pass this value to the report as the parameter.
In SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS), when pass values to a report, multi-select parameters have to be placed into IN statement and SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) will do single-quote wrapping for string values automatically. In this case, the original
value that have embedded single quote will be damaged. So this action not work. You can submit a feedback at
http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/Feedback and hope it is resolved in the next release of service pack or product.
