Slope line in SSRS

How to create slope line in SSRS. Like we have three points. The line should tilt based on the centre point
Thanks in advance

Hi PrakashThandra,
As per my understanding, you want to create a line chart, in which the line tilt based on the center point. If that is the case, we can use smooth line chart to achieve your goal as Olaf mentioned. For detail information, please refer to the following steps:
In Layout view, in the Toolbox, click Chart.
Click on the design surface where you want the upper-left corner of the chart, the Select Chart Type dialog box appears.
Select Smooth Line, then click OK.
Click the chart to display the Chart Data pane.
Add one or more fields to the Values area. This information will be plotted on the value axis.
Add a grouping field to the Category Groups area. When you add this field to the Category Groups area, a grouping field is automatically created for you. Each group represents a data point in your series.
To summarize the data by category, right-click the data field and click Series Properties. In the Category box, select the category field from the drop-down list. Click OK.
For more information about Creating chart reports, please refer to the following document:
https://www.simple-talk.com/sql/reporting-services/sql-server-reporting-services-advanced-charting/
If there is any misunderstanding, please feel free to let me know.
Thanks,

Diagonal line on SSRS line chart

Hi all,
I'm struggling with a charting issue that I was hoping someone here might be able to help with - I've looked through various blogs without success. I need to insert a diagonal line running the full width of a line chart, representing the linearly increasing
target value over a month. The actual data will then be a secondary series on the same vertical axis, showing progress against the target based on today's data.
This report has several limitations that I should emphasise before someone says "Well, why can't you just generate the target data in the SQL query?". It's for Dynamics CRM Online, so the only type of data source and query allowed is FetchXML.
I can't even use a simple SQL query that returns constant values, let alone an actual SQL DB query. It also doesn't seem to be possible to have any custom code in the report, which makes it even more frustrating. FetchXML is just not set up to do things like
return constant values in a query, or return a dataset which is the set of days in the current month.
What I do have is two datasets, one of which returns the actual data, which I've used as the first series in the table, and a second dataset that returns a single value that represents the target for the month. There's no way, as far as I'm aware, to cross-join
that with a set of dates and then use a calculated field in the dataset to turn it into a linear series.
I've set the min and max values of the X-axis to show me all dates, and my initial solution to the problem was to have a horizontal line at the target value, as shown below (red dotted line). However, I've been asked to change that to the solid red diagonal
line as shown:
Series 1 (Total order value) is the RunningValue of the daily order values, summed across the dates.
Series 1 data looks something like this:
[Date] [Order Value]
1 Mar 100
3 Mar 20
3 Mar 35
24 Mar 400
Series 2 data just has
[Target Name] [Target Value]
Sales Target 25000
Does anyone have ideas on how I can do this? I'm happy to take any suggestions; the line doesn't have to be interactive or be an action, so it could even be rendered directly onto the chart, if that's possible. The only limitation is that it needs to be
viewed on screen, and be printable. I'd prefer some sort of elegant approach that allows me to do it as two series on the same chart, but frankly at this point I'm beyond caring how it's done - so long as it works, it can be held together with chewing gum
and string.

Hi Anuruddha,
When you want to see the diagonal line, you should divide the target value with number of values in x-axis,
let say Month March has 31 days, your target is 25000
then 25000/31=806.4516129032258
But to do dynamic you need to get the number of days in month
=day(DateAdd("d",-1,DateAdd("M",1,cdate(cstr(Month(First(Fields!workday.Value, "DataSet3")) )+"/01/" + cstr(Year(First(Fields!workday.Value, "DataSet3")))))))
Create another series like below shown:-
a Above expression :-
= (Sum(Fields!target.Value, "DataSet2")/ (day(DateAdd("d",-1,DateAdd("M",1,cdate(cstr(Month(First(Fields!workday.Value, "DataSet3")) )+"/01/" + cstr(Year(First(Fields!workday.Value, "DataSet3")))))))))*Fields!id.Value
Run the report:-
Orange Line is yours previously, Red Line is what you want.
I am doing calculation in series, so there is no problem for you as you can't write SQL query.
Below is the RDL code , which will help you to check the expressions.

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.
Regards,
Vicky Liu

How do I find slope of a waveform

This seems pretty simple but I'm having trouble with this:
I have a waveform that I need to filter to get only a subset of it (I'm ok with that part - using a lib vi), then take that subset, find its slope and intercept, then draw that line on the origninal waveform graph.
On the original waveform I have put in 0s for the first 100 ms of time, on my slope line I need to plug in the zeroed out x values with result of the slope equation.
Any suggestions appreciated.

Slope is defined as dY / dX, where, in this case, your X-axis is time.
You could call it dY / dT.
d represents delta, or the difference between two Y values (or time-values).
Pick two points from your graph - T0,Y0, and T1,Y1
Your slope is (Y1 - Y0) / (T1 - T0)
If you're measuring volts, the slope is in Volts/second.
Simple, right?
The kicker is in picking the points to use. If you pick them close together, you run a larger risk of noise polluting your answer. If you pick them farther apart, you may miss some feature.
In your example data, if you pick T0 = 0.07, and T1 = 0.1, you'll get a negative slope.
If you pick T0 = 0.1 and T1 = 0.2 you'll get a positive slope.
If you pick T0 = 0.1 and T1 = 0.4, you'll get a lower positive slope.
All of them are correct, it depends on what you want to know.

Poor Processing Performance after Migration from SSRS 2005 to SSRS 2014

Hello all,
a customer is moving from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2014 (clean install on a new machine). There are a lot of reports against an Analysis Services database. I have converted and deployed the reports. Most of them are showing a significant performance
improvement, but some of them became very slow.
Analyzing the report server's execution log I have discovered that the rendering time has increased very much (see picture for a specific report below - above the blue line is SSRS 2005 on an older machine, below is SSRS 2014 on a new machine).
Do you have any hints what I can do?
Thanks in advance and best regards,
Gerald

Thank you for your reply. Cumulative Update 4 has already been installed (I have just compared the installed version number with the list on
sqlserverbuilds.blogspot.com).
My first suspicion was also a rdl conversion problem. But as even reports with a blank page where showing this rendering performance problem I began to look at the datasets (although they are executed very fast according to the report server's
execution log view).
All MDX queries have been designed using the
Analysis Services MDX Query Designer. The option for not showing empty cells is activated to supress empty rows. But this option always applies to both axes (when usings the query designer). Thus columns for measures with null values in all rows are omitted
from the result set. When rendering a report the rsMissingFieldInDataSet-Error is shown, but in SSRS 2005 and also in the Data Tools for SQL Server 2014 this has no further impact.
But SSRS 2014 is performing very bad in this case. If I remove the NON EMPTY clause for the columns (which only works when switching to the text query builder, so the customer is not able to modify the queries anymore) the report performance will be as expected.
So far there're only two reports left where this does not solve the performance issue.
During testing I have also observered the BIDS - SQL 2008 R2 Warnings not clearing-bug which can be reproduced by everyone except
Microsoft ;)

Scripting error when opening Interactive Form

Hi all,
I'm experimenting with adobe interactive forms (in web dynpro), but things aren't going as expected. I'm getting scripting errors when clicking (in Internet Explorer) on a link that opens a view with an interactive form. Please see below for details.
I've found a similar error description /thread/80059 [original link is broken], but the context is different. It seems to be related to namespaces, but I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hello Jeroen and welcome to the SDN!
It seems like an error in the WebDynpro-part, not in the Adobe forms-part. Please check if all your elements (views, windows, controllers, etc.) are in valid namespaces.
Could you try to create an application for the WebDynpro-project in the NDS, and try to <i>deploy new archive and run </i>? Does this work?
Perhaps you could even copy the project, and replace the Adobe Inter Form element by a static text, to test if it is in the WebDynpro part or that it really has something to do with the Adobe.
Good luck,

What is the best way to create a SSRS 2005 Line Chart Report for a 12 month period?

I'm looking for advice on how to create a SQL Server 2005 query and line chart report for SSRS 2005.
I need to display the peak number of patients assigned to a medical practice each month for a 12 month period based on the end-user selecting a
single month and year.
I've previously created a report that displays all patients assigned to the practice for any single month but I’m looking for advice on how to
how to produce a resultset that shows the peak number of patients each month for a 12 month period. I thought about creating a query that returns the peak count for each month (based on my previously created report which displays all patients assigned to the
practice for any single month) and then use a UNION statement to join all 12 months but I'm sure that isn't the most efficient way to do this. The other challenge with this approach (twelve resultsets combined via a UNION) is that the end-user needs to be
able to select any month and year for the parameter and the report needs to display the 12 month period based on the month selected (the month selected would be the last month of the 12 month period).
For the report I’ve previously created that displays all patients assigned to the practice for any single month, the WHERE statement filters the
resultset on two fields:
Start Date - The date the patient was assigned to the practice. This field is never null or blank.
End Date - The date the patient left the practice. This field can be null or blank as active patients assigned to the practice do not have an End Date. When the patient
leaves the practice, the date the patient left is populated in this field.
Using these two fields I can return all patients assigned to the practice during Nov 2012 by looking for patients that meet the following criteria:
start date prior to 11/30/2012 (using the last day of the month selected ensures patients added mid-month would be included)
AND
end date is null or blank (indicates the patient is active) OR the end date is between 11/1/2012 -11/30/2012 (returns patients that leave during the month
selected)
Regarding the query I need to create for the report that displays the peak count each month for 12 months, I'm looking for advice on
how to count patients for each month the patient is assigned to the practice if the patient has been assigned for several months (which applies to most patients). Examples are:
John Doe has a start date of 6/01/2012 and an End Date of 10/07/2012
Sally Doe has a start date of 8/4/2012 and no End Date (the patient is still active)
Jimmy Doe has a  start of 7/3/2012 and an End Date of 9/2/2012
Given these examples how would I include John Doe in the peak monthly count each month for May - October, Sally Doe in the peak monthly count for
August - December and Jimmy Doe in the peak monthly count for July – Sept if the end-user running the report selected December 2012 as the parameter?
Given the example above and the fact I'm creating a line chart I think the best way to create this report would be a resultset that looks like
this:
Patient Name
Months Assigned
John Doe
June 2012
John Doe
July012
John Doe
Aug 2012
John Doe
Sept 2012
John Doe
Oct 2012
Sally Doe
Aug 2012
Sally Doe
Sept 2012
Sally Doe
Oct 2012
Sally Doe
Nov 2012
Sally Doe
Dec 2012
Jimmy Doe
July 2012
Jimmy Doe
Aug 2012
Jimmy Doe
Sept 2012
From the resultset above I could create another resultset that would count\group on month and year to return the peak count for each month:
June 2012 - 1
July 2012 – 2
Aug 2012 - 3
Sept 2012 - 3
Oct 2012 - 2
Nov 2012 - 1
Dec 2012 - 1
The resultset that displays the peak count for each month would be used to create the line chart (month would be the X axis and the count would
be the y axis).
Does this sound like the best approach?
If so, any advice on how to create the resultset that lists each patient and each month they were assigned to the practice would be greatly appreciated.
I do not have permissions to create SPs or Functions within the database but I can create temp tables.
I know how to create the peak monthly count query (derived from the query that lists each patient and month assigned) as well as the line chart.
Any advice or help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the replies. I reviewed them shortly after they were submitted but I'm also working on other projects at the same time (hence the delayed reply).
Building a time table and doing a cross join to my original resultset gave me the desired resultset of the months assigned between dates. What I can't figure out now is how to filter months I don't want.
Doing a cross join between my original resultset that had two dates:
08/27/2010
10/24/2011
and a calendar table that has 24 rows (each month for a two year period)
my new resultset looks like this:
I need to filter the rows in yellow as the months assigned for stage 3 that started on 8/27/2010 should stop when the patient was assigned to stage 4 on 10/24/2011.
You'll notice that Jan - Sept 2011 isn't listed for Stage 4 assigned on 10/24/2011 as I included a filter in the WHERE clause that states
the Months Assigned value must be greater than or equal to the date assigned value.
Any advice would be appreciated.

How do you type multiple lines on a path? (label for top slope of bottle)

Ill describe the best I can...
I am making a label that will wrap around the top half of a bottle, the part that slopes to the spout. Because of this, the label is actually shaped more like an arch so when it goes onto the bottle, it will look more straight. The top part of the label of course will be a tighter arch than the bottom half. This is part of why its hard to make things look right. I know I can bend a line at the same angle and type on it and it looks right but I have a paragragh I have to do this with, about 5 lines worth. I dont want to have to make a different path line for each one because that would be a nightmare to get each line perfect with each other. Is there a way to do the "type on a path" to work with multiple lines at once?

Scott Falkner wrote:
You can't. Each line of text requires an explicit path. You could draw the top line and the bottom line, then make a three-step blend between the two. Expand the blend then link the paths so that text from path 1 flows to path 2, and so on. In the example below each path is linked to the one below. I only needed to paste text into the top path. I was able to link to each following path by clicking on the red + at the end of the previous path, then clicking on the path below.
You could also design the label flat and use a distortion envelope or Warp effect to bend it. This is how I have done such labels in the past. That method requires more experimentation, but makes edits easier.
That seems to be something that might work out. How do you separate each of the strokes from the blend to make them typable though?

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.

How to draw cumulative line graph over the stacked bar chart?(SSRS)

Hello,
I need your help to draw a cumulative line graph over this bar chart.
I need your help to draw a cumulative line graph over this bar chart in SSRS.
The dimension (Category Group) is "Hour" in this case. and expression is sum of two distinct values like 'Y' and 'N' in Activity column(Series Groups). The sum(Activity=Y) in green color and sum(Activity='N') in Red color.
I require to draw a cumulative line graph in this same chart, that should give the result of cumulative Sum(Activity) for each hour?? I mean sum of (Y+N) for each hour and that should be cumulative over the hour.
I mean sum of (Y+N) for each hour and that should be cumulative over the hour.

Show Timestamp on Y axis in a SSRS line chart.

I have a column with datatype as timestamp. And i want to show that column on Y axis in a line chart. two sample values from that column are 03/01/2014 11:30 PM and 03/02/2014 12:10 AM. In this case the data point for first value should be less compare
to the second one, i.e. the series should consider the complete timestamp. Is there a way in SSRS to achieve it.
If I only take the time value from timestamp on Y axis and plot the chart then the data point for 12:10 AM is less than the 11:30 PM, which is not true in this case.
ApoorvaW

Hi ApoorvaW,
In Reporting Services, if we directly add the Timestamp field to Y Axis, it displays the count values in the line chart. When we modify the expression of the value to [Timestamp], it displays the date value in the Y Axis. Though it displays date type as
the axis label, it represent the complete timestamp.
So in my environment, the timestamp display very well in the line chart. If there are any misunderstanding, please elaborate the issue for further investigation.
