Report Builder: Can I use a prompt filter in multiple ways?

Hi,
I'm new to Report Builder 3, which we use at my office for a number of custom made reports to access our project management server. On one of these we basically want to allow the user to pick a date, and then see all historic data before that date,
and all forecast data after that date.
Thus far the only way we can achieve this is by adding a prompt filter on a date at the field filter level; but as one of these is a
before X and another is on or after X this creates two input filter prompts, and in some cases we end up needing the user to put the same date in 4 separate input fields!
Does anyone know a way around this - I basically want to allow them to input a single variable date, and then be allowed to filter that in different ways.
Thanks,
James

"adding a prompt filter on a date at the field filter level"
Not sure what you mean by that. All you should need to do is create the parameter in the report as a Date/time type parameter; I will call it @FocusDate. If you have 2 datasets, HistoricalData and ForecastData, you would set the parameter in the filter criteria.
If both are SQL queries then:
HistoricalData:
SELECT [field list] FROM history WHERE history.Date < @FocusDate
ForecastData:
SELECT [field list] FROM forecast WHERE forecast.Date > @FocusDate
I am guessing this is not your scenario so I will need more information. Are you using the parameter to filter the data in a tablix (table, list, matrix) instead of the dataset query? Are you trying to display both historical and forecast data in the same
tablix? If so is the data in  single dataset?

  • 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

  • I ordered my Macbook Air with Aperture two years ago. I now have an iMac - can I use that with Aperture in any way?

    I ordered my Macbook Air with Aperture two years ago. I now have an iMac - can I use that with Aperture in any way? I appreciate that it is a different computer but I am now the end user of both devices and I was just wondering if it was possible.
    Thanks,
    Sean

    The answer would be in your software license agreement for Aperture. However if you cannot locate it you can ask in the Aperture forum, the link for that is:
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications/aperture
    However I believe you can have Aperture installed on two machines however only one may be using it at a time.
    On the new iMac launch the Mac App Store - Purchased - look for Aperture and download to your new machine.

    Can I use one itunes account for multiple users and multiple devices?

    The iTunes EULA, as I understand it (I'm not an attorney )for Apps is basically that one person can use an App multiple devices, or multiple people can use an App one device..so one to many or many to one, but not many to many....

  • Can i use the same advertisement to multiple collections?

    Can i use the same advertisement to multiple collections?

    Can i use the same advertisement A1 to a collection C2? Because my collection C1 is query based and the C2 would be a static one.
    If i use the same A1 advert, will it affect the earlier linked C1 collection i any ways?
    System Security analyst at CapG

    Well, in 2007 you actually kind of can. You can used linked collections to make C2 a linked sub-collection under C1 and ensure that the advert applies to sub-collections.

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • How can i using MDT 2010 to deploy multiple partitions Windows 7 image?

    Hello,
    I am planning using MDT as a deploy windows 7 solutions. My Windows 7 is setup on parition 1 "C:" and users profile on parition 2 "D". I am already capture WIM for each paritions. How can i using MDT 2010 to deploy multiple partitions for Windows 7
    image? together
    Thanks

    Having the users folder on a separate partitions is a bad idea because the Windows Setup was not really designed for it, it's more of a afterfix. In addition to that the deployment solutions in general have problem dealing with multiple partions.
    Put it this way - The big warning text in the WAIK documentation about redirecting the users folder to another drive is there for a reason. It will break future offline servicing.
    It doesn't mean it can't be done, it just means it will take you three times (at least) longer to setup/troubleshoot your deployment solution, and you will be in a world of pain the next time you want to re-image the machine.
    This quote from a good friend of mine (Andreas Hammarskjold) describes it very well:
    Generally I would always recommend to only have ONE partition these days. Going down the route of making multiple partitions is like having multiple wives/girlfriends/lovers… it’s all fun and games for a while but ends with disaster

    Hi,my friend has forgot his ipad 4 password,how can he use his ipad?any other ways expect restore??

    Forgotten passcode (Recovery Mode)
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
    5. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.

  • Report Builder can't setup RDS

    When trying to setup RDS in the report builder for CF8 I get
    an http 1.1 404 Object not found error.
    Windows authentication is off and I can use RDS with
    Dreamweaver.
    Any thoughts?

    Try and temporarily turn off Windows Integrated

    If it works, double-check to be sure you turned it off for
    the CFIDE directory permanently.

  • Report Builder Can't Connect after IP Change

    I can write the queries that I need to but continually run into issues with SRS and its Report Builder
    Someone moved the report server onto another LAN and it has a new IP.  All the reports can still connect to the data source and so work just fine.
    When I launch Report Builder 2 from the Report Server/Report itself, it pops up that "connection failed" and follows up with "Unable to connect to the server that is specified in the URL"
    Basically I need to configure it to point to itself I guess but that seems to not be happening.  The changes were already in the report manager when I went to check them.  I have no idea how long it's been this way.
    I've attached a pic to show the successful connection to report server, but bad from report builder.  Also the configuration of the report server. 
    I found posts related to proxy but that can't possibly help b/c the thing is looking for an IP that doesn't exist!  It's own has changed.

    Hi Kirkee,
    According to your description, after someone moved the report server to another LAN and a new IP, all the reports can still connect to the data source and work fine. When you launch Report Builder 2 from report manager or report, you got the error message.
    The error message "Connection failed. Unable to connect to the server specified URL <Report Server URL>" means we are not able to connect to the Report Server. We can follow these steps to troubleshoot the issue:
    Open the Web Services URL (known as Report Server URL) in the Internet Explorer (IE). Make sure it is able to open it.
    Try to use IP to access the Report Server from the Report Builder.
    Run the Report Builder under the domain account (Press key SHIFT and then right click the Report Builder, click 'Run as different user').
    Check the Reporting Services error logs (by default, it can be found from C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\<SQL Server Instance>\Reporting Services\LogFiles).
    If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.
    Thanks,
