Overriding format in a tablix column

Hi.  I run 2012 enterprise and have a tablix with 6 different numeric columns.  I'd like to override the numeric format on some of these depending on the row label.  I dont see a way to make this decision a function.   Is
there a way?

Then you can use an expression for setting format
like below
=IIF(Fields!RowGroup.Value = "<first value>","<format1 string>","<format2string>")
if you want exact expression post us the field names and also formats you want output to come
Please Mark This As Answer if it helps to solve the issue Visakh ---------------------------- http://visakhm.blogspot.com/ https://www.facebook.com/VmBlogs

  • Tablix cells and tablix columns mapping

    Hello,
    I have lots of tablix within the report and they have many columns as well,i would like to rearrange the tablix cell height and width according to names.when i look at source code of rdl file i can see tablix columns,but i can not see which column mapped
    to which cell.is there a way to do this mapping ? Let's say i have col1 in many tablix.and i would like to set 1in for every tablix cells.
    Thanks.

    Hi altuko,
    A SQL Server Reporting Services Report Definition Language (RDL) file is validated by using an XML Schema Definition (XSD) file. When we double click .rdl file definitely it will open in XML format if we have not installed Report Builder (or it will
    directly be opened with Report Builder). The XML file is correspond to the designed report. So if we want to map the tablix column and tablix cell, we should know the design surface
    (To view the report in Report Designer, we can create a new report project and add the .rdl file.) and rdl xml schema definition. For example, we should know the tablix name, column name and cell name, then we can
    map them in XML file.
    For more information about rdl xml schema definition, please refer to the following document:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms155062.aspx
    Hope this helps.

  • How can i change the Format of my DATE column?

    I need to change the date format for a whole column. At present i can do MM-DD-YYYY. I need to change this this to DD-MMM-YYYY.
    I know about the to_date function, i tried to apply it to change the format of my whole column by doing the following.....
    CREATE TABLE "IT220_DATEHOLIDAY"
    "DEPARTID" VarChar(2)NOT NULL ENABLE,
    "HOLCODE" VARCHAR2(2)NOT NULL ENABLE,
    "DEPARDATE" DATE,
    to_date('DATE','DD-MMM-YYYY'), <<<change DATE column to DD-MMM-YYYY
    CONSTRAINT "DATEHOLIDAY_PK" PRIMARY KEY ("DEPARTID") ENABLE
    ORA-00902: invalid datatype <<<<This was the error message i received.
    I am aware that the to_date function is supposed to be used to change strings into a certain format. I guess this means you cant do it with columns? Is there anyway i can format the whole column or do i have to do each string of data entered one by one?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello Jay,
    I'm not sure you hit the right forum, as this doesn't seem to be a problem with APEX.
    Anyway:
    You can't use that function on a table like that, and as you already suggested, the to_date-function expects a string value.
    It seems you also have a misunderstanding of the basic datatypes in the database. DATE is such a datatype and is stored an internal format you don't need to care about. Each time your request the value, the database will give you a string representation according to either your locale or you give a certain formatting mask.
    The same applies to insert or update operations: you hand in either a variable of type DATE or use a function like to_date to create an "object" of type date.
    You may be interested in reading the documentation of the [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e16508/toc.htm]Oracle Database Concepts. The section concerning datatype DATE can be found here:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e16508/tablecls.htm#CBBGJHJC
    An overview of formatting options can be found here:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e17118/sql_elements004.htm#SQLRF00212
    So to answer your question: You would format it as part of your insert operation, taking a string and convert it using to_date.

  • I am having trouble getting a numbers spreadsheet to hold different formats in the same column.  A column with a date formatted heading will not convert to $ for the cells below.   Any suggestions would help.

    Hi Juergen,
    I found Your blog and found it  really interesting... though I was not able to use it: I (like Jun Li is asking, I guess) need to use a dynamic text, containing formatting informations (according the xhtml syntax).
    I tried to pass it to the form by an ABAP-dictionary based interface and by means of the context (in a webdynpro page), but both tries failed.
    Some suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
    Thankyou

  • Implicit date format conversion of report column

    Hello,
    The following expression defines date format for report column implicitly and doesn't reflect FSP_LANGUAGE_PREFERENCE with language independent format mask of the column attribute anymore:
    decode(end_date, to_date('31.12.2047', 'dd.mm.yyyy'), null, end_date) closed
    end_date is of TIMESTAMP(0) WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE type, format mask of the column attribute: DS TS
    Is it expected behavior?
    Thanks

    Is it expected behavior?
    ThanksThe reason might be that you compare different datatypes in the SQL statement. The output of decode depends on those parameters.
    You can cast the column to a specific datatype or you make sure that your wanted datatype is used during the decode.
    example
    decode(end_date, to_timestamp_tz('31.12.2047', 'dd.mm.yyyy'), null, end_date) closed
    or
    cast(decode(end_date, to_date('31.12.2047', 'dd.mm.yyyy'), null, end_date) as timestamp(0) with local time zone) closed

  • What is data format "Hypertext Link" in column properties??

    Hi,
    What is data format "Hypertext Link" in column properties? How to use it?
    Can I use column value to navigate to other report without using "Value Interaction" in column properties.

    By changing the data format to say HTML, or Hypertext link, you can add HTML content/HTML tags within the column formula.
    You can create a column formula that would resolve into a dynamic hyperlink and pass parameters by using Go Url. Check out Chapter 11 in the Oracle® Business Intelligence Presentation Services Administration Guide
    Check out an example:

  • Selectively Format Groups with Multiple Columns

    I have a bit of an obscure task I've been trying to hammer out to no avail.  I've searched quite a bit but can't seem to find anyone else who has attempted this.  I have two group by statements, one is a category and the other is a rank.  What I'm trying to do is organize the report so that there are category rows and below each category row is a set of columns for each rank with their associated values as such:
    category1
    rank1     rank2     rank3     rank4
    value1   value1    value1   value1
    value2   value2    value2   value2
    category2
    rank1     rank2     rank3
    value1   value1    value1
    value2   value2    value2
    I've tried using details>Section Expert>>Layout>Format Groups with multiple column.  Unfortunately, this applies to both groups putting the categories into columns instead of rows, making a mess.  Does anyone know of a way to selectively put groups into columns and ensure alignment?  In the above example the user would be able to compare rank values from multiple categories since they all line up.  Any help with this would be very much appreciated.

    Hi,
    Have you tried using a crosstab? Give this a shot:
    1) Group the report on Category
    2) Create a new group header section. Group Header b
    3) Place a crosstab in this section
    4) The columns would be the Rank field, I'm not sure about what you would like to show in the rows
    5) The summarized field would be the Value field ofcourse
    Let me know how this goes.

  • Using same tablix column for 2 row groups

    Hi.  We run 2012 enterprise.  My tablix is grouped (for the most part) by hidden primary (values are 5,10,15,20) , secondary and tertiary sort columns.  And a couple of visible label items that are aligned left.
    Every row's data columns are completely %, $ or numerically formatted depending on a hidden helper field i've snuck into the tablix row group data fields after the tertiary sort.
    The primary sort column does equate to a label that I dont show right now.  In biz terms that label is actually the highest from a grouping standpoint but isnt being used right now for anything.  I left it for last.
    As I put the finishing touches on this report, I'd like to display that label ahead of the 4 sections it represents using the same column being occupied by the 1st (leftmost) label that is currently visible.  I'd like to center it in that column on
    its own row and apply some shading to the cells to its right.   And show nothing in those shadded cells.   All without changing my dataset if possible.
    To complicate things, I'd like to follow each of the 4 sections with a completely shaded row.  No data at all but grid lines can show thru shading.   Again without changing my dataset.  Is there a feature in ssrs that deals with this
    kind of visual nuance?

    Hi Jeewan,
    Try this formula, If I understood your question correctly it will work for you.

  • How to repeat a row when tablix columns print over more than one page

    I have a tablix with 20 Columns.  When this prints it prints over 3 pages (which is
    OK).   The first Column is the Name (in this case it is the
    Project name).  On Page 2 & 3 I want to print the Project name again,
    so that a report user does not need to go back to page one to figure out which
    project the columns are referring two.  In Excel there is an option
    "Rows To Repeat".  I am trying to do the same in SSRS
    2012.

    Hi Andrew,
    If I understand correctly, there are 20 columns in the table. When it prints over 3 pages, the report should repeat the first column in all pages.
    To freeze row header in the table, we can refer to the following steps:
    The table should have a group. If the Name is already a row group, we can directly refer to step 2. Or we need add a row group grouped by Name ahead.
    Right-click the table to open the Tablix Properties dialog box, then enable “Repeat header rows on each page” and “Keep header visible while scrolling” options under Row Headers category.
    If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.

  • Import format for two amount columns in different currencies

    Hello,
    I am working on FDM 11.1.1.3 and will be getting the trial balance containing amounts in two currencies (both local and USD). I need to load data in both the currencies. The extract has two columns for the amount rather than having two different rows for different currencies. Any ideas how to define this format and how to load data. We are not using the translation logic and hence the amounts in both currencies are required.
    Thanks for your help in advance.

    Hi Tony,
    Thanks a lot for the input. Any idea, how should I go about doing this else if you have any documentation, let me know. Also, what are the cons of doing it this way over requesting the customer to get the file with amounts in different rows than in different columns
