SQL Modeler : Column Groups
Is the Column Group option (under Table Properties) not yet implemented?
It does not seem to save a column group and the topic is skipped in the Help File for the Table Properties topic.

Hello,
thanks for feedback. I checked it - you can add groups, change columns belonging to them and they are saved. Unfortunately group cannot be deleted and change in the name of the group is not applied if press OK while in editing mode.
I logged bugs for these problems.

SQL Server Reporting Services- Coloring a Cell Background Based on two different column group values
Hello All,
I have a matrix report with time scale on the x axis and Resources on Y axis Showing the tasks assigned to each resource for a period of time. Here I have to color a matrix cell showing task details on tool tip with background color of the cell.
So Please help me on this.I have a expression like this...
In my case the color should be filled for the cell with name "Fields!task_name.Value" based on the values of "Fields!Day_Wise.Value " where we have the values for Daywise as S,M,T,W,T,F,S. So i need the background for the cell with name
task_name as Light Grey on Friday and Saturday, But we have the same name S for sunday also, which should come in different color.
=iif(Fields!Day_Wise.Value ="F","LightGrey",
IIF(PREVIOUS(Fields!Day_Wise.Value) ="F","LightGrey",
iif(Fields!task_name.Value="","White",
iif(InStr(Fields!task_name.Value,"||")>0,"Maroon",
iif(InStr(Fields!task_name.Value,"NULL")>0,"Sienna",
iif(InStr(Fields!task_name.Value,"Pink")>0,"Pink",
iif(InStr(Fields!task_name.Value,"Red")>0,"Red",
iif(InStr(Fields!task_name.Value,"Purple")>0,"Purple",
iif(InStr(Fields!task_name.Value,"Green")>0,"Green",
iif(InStr(Fields!task_name.Value,"White")>0,"White",
iif(InStr(Fields!task_name.Value,"Cyan (Teal)")>0,"Teal",
iif(InStr(Fields!task_name.Value,"Olive")>0,"Olive",
iif(InStr(Fields!task_name.Value,"Blue")>0,"Blue",
iif(InStr(Fields!task_name.Value,"Light Blue (Aqua)")>0,"LightBlue",
iif(InStr(Fields!task_name.Value,"Yellow")>0,"Yellow","Black"
Thanks
AJ HameedHi AJ Hameed,
According to your description, you want to set the background color for the cells based on the values inside of cells and the values the column group. You want to set grey for cells on Friday and Saturday, set colors based on the task name on other weekdays.
Right?
In Reporting Services, there's no problem if we have two different data values in conditional expression, so we can set background color based on Day_Wise or task_name. One issue in this scenario is, we can't have value "S" for both Saturday and Sunday when
working in a matrix. Otherwise the task_name will overwrite the previous task_name (for numeric values, it will do sum calculation). So we suggest you change the values for weekdays in database. The expression you have posted was correct. It only has a small
issue: the "Light Blue(Aqua)" also contains "Blue", so when doing conditional judging, the expression will return "Blue" instead of "Light Blue". We have tested in our local environment. For viewing convenience, we used the Switch() function in our expression:
=IIf(Fields!Day_Wise.Value="Fri" or Fields!Day_Wise.Value="Sat","LightGrey",
Switch(
InStr(Fields!Task_name.Value,"White")>0,"White",
InStr(Fields!Task_name.Value,"||")>0,"Maroon",
InStr(Fields!Task_name.Value,"Pink")>0,"Pink",
InStr(Fields!Task_name.Value,"Red")>0,"Red",
InStr(Fields!Task_name.Value,"Purple")>0,"Purple",
InStr(Fields!Task_name.Value,"Green")>0,"Green",
InStr(Fields!Task_name.Value,"Cyan(Teal)")>0,"Teal",
Fields!Task_name.Value="","White",
InStr(Fields!Task_name.Value,"Olive")>0,"Olive",
InStr(Fields!Task_name.Value,"Blue")>0,"Blue",
InStr(Fields!Task_name.Value,"Aqua")>0,"LightBlue",
InStr(Fields!Task_name.Value,"Yellow")>0,"Yellow",
InStr(Fields!Task_name.Value,"Orange")>0,"Orange",
InStr(Fields!Task_name.Value,"Null")>0,"Sienna",
true,"Black"
The result looks like below:

SSRS 2008 R2 - Add moving average to column group
I have a column group of dollar amounts. The row is a year/month. I would like to add a moving average column to the right of the last 6 months. My SQL Server data source is already complex enough and I'd really prefer not to add a column
there. Is there anything I can do within the report itself? Some way to reference the previous records in a matrix?
Thank you!Hi mateoc15,
According to your description, you have a matrix in your report. Now you want to calculate the average value of last 6 month. Right?
In Reporting Service, we can put custom code into report to deal with complicated logic. Add one more column/row inside of group and call the functions defined in custom code. For your requirement we modified Robert’s code to achieve your goal. We tested
your case in our local environment with sample data. Here are steps and screenshots for your reference:
Put the custom code into report:
Private queueLength As Integer = 6
Private queueSum As Double = 0
Private queueFull As Boolean = False
Private idChange As String=""
Dim queue As New System.Collections.Generic.Queue(Of Integer)
Public Function CumulativeQueue(ByVal currentValue As Integer,id As String) As Object
Dim removedValue As Double = 0
If idChange <> id then
ClearQueue()
idChange = id
queueSum = 0
queueFull = False
CumulativeQueue(currentValue,id)
Else
If queue.Count >= queueLength Then
removedValue = queue.Dequeue()
End If
queueSum += currentValue
queueSum -= removedValue
queue.Enqueue(currentValue)
If queue.Count < queueLength Then
Return Nothing
ElseIf queue.Count = queueLength And queueFull = False Then
queueFull = True
Return queueSum / queueLength
Else
Return (queueSum) / queueLength
End If
End If
End Function
public function ClearQueue()
Dim i as Integer
Dim n as Integer = Queue.Count-1
for i=n To 0 Step-1
queue.Dequeue()
next i
End function
Add one more row inside of group, call the function defined in custom code.
Save and preview. It looks like below:

SQL*Modeler - creation of VARRAY or Collection Type of scalar type errors
In SQl*Modeler 2.0.0 Build 584, I can create either VARRAY or Collections. These work fine for usre defined structured types but I encounter huge problems when I use a simple scalar type of number or varchar2.
For instance I create a new collection type, give it a name, specify its a collection (or VARRAY, same problem) then click datatype. On the select Data type box I select logical type. A new window opens, I select VARCHAR from the drop down list.
Enter the size 15, everything appears fine. I click OK, the select data type screen now shows a logical type of VARCHAR(15).
So far I'm happy. I generate the DDL, everthing is fine, the DDL contains my collection of VARCHAR2(15).
Now I save the model, close it and re-open the same model. My collection is now of VARCHAR so the next time I generate it will get an error because the syntax is wrong because it has no length. Same problem happens when selecting a NUMBER, looses the precision and scale but at least that command still works, just with a maximum numeric value.
Ok, so lets try creating distinct types. Why we can't access domains when specifying types from here remains a mystery to me.
So I create a distinct type Varchar2_15 which is of Logical type VARCHAR and give it a size. Similarly, create another distinct type of NUMERIC_22_0 precision 22 scale 0. This seems to get around the problem of losing the data but the DDL generated shows the datatype to be either VARCHAR (not VARCHAR2) and NUMERIC(22), not number(22). Now I know that VARCHAR currently maps to VARCHAR2 but isn't guaranteed to in the future (even though its been like that since V6) and NUMERIC is just an alias for NUMBER but its going to confuse a lot of java people and its totally inconsitent and just plain wrong.
Any suggestions or workarounds will be gratefully received.
Ian BainbridgeHi Ian,
I see a bug in save/load of collection types and as result no size or precision and scale information. It's fixed in new release.
However I cannot reproduce the problem with distinct types - I have them generated as varchar2 and number (this is for Oracle).
You can check:
- database you use in DDL generation - I got varchar and numeric for MS SQL Server;
- mapping of logical types VARCHAR and NUMERIC to native types in "Types Administration".
Philip
PS - I was able to reproduce it - I looked at wrong place - DDL generation for collection types is broken - it's ok for columns. I logged bug for that.

How to create RunningValue Through Column Groups?
Hi Everybody i´m trying to do this with a Matrix
I want the running value of the product quantity for each month of a year,
resetting the running value
when a new year is reached
I have 2 column groups "Year" and as it´s child group "Month".
2009
2010
January Febrary March January February March
Product
Toolbelt 10 15 20
1 10 50
Well that is the idea...
In the field of the quantity i´m using an expression like this = RunningValue(Fields!Quantity.Value, Sum, Nothing) .
With this expression i get the the running value and it´s great, but
it does not reset thru the years ,
it continues aggregating the quantity value.
So i tried with this expression assuming if i set the SCOPE to the Year group i can achieve this
= RunningValue(Fields!Quantity.Value, Sum, "Year") ,
But surprise!!, this is not giving me the right aggregation , i´m still dig in it and can´t find what it actually aggregates.
Am I doing something wrong?.
All the help is welcome. Thanks.Hi UzielB,
Based on your information, I get your requirement completely, here you want to accumulate the value of month from
Jan to March whin one year, then return to Jan again whin another year. If I misunderstand you please do not hesitate to let me know.
Now the issue you are encountering is that the value does not reset through the different years.
Actually, nomatter it is 2009 or 2010, RunningValue function takes different years as the same scope, so the value does not reset
through the different years. Just like picture3.
To workaround the issue, we might need to utilize the subreport in the main report, for detailed steps please follow
these:
1.
Design the subreport with two column groups
Year, Month and one row group Product.
2.
Type in the expression in the data textbox
=RunningValue(Fields!Yourdatafield.Value,sum,"Product") Here
Product is the row group name.
3.
Add one parameter
Year to the subreport, of course you should add the parameter year behind the where clause in the T-sql. Such as
select * from yourtable where Year=@Year
4.
Delete the
Year column and Product column, here please make sure you just delete the column only rather than deleting the relevant reportitem.
5.
Decrease the height and width of the report to the report control size, then there is no blank space when displayed in the main report.
6.
Drag a matrix to the main report, just add one column group
Year.
7.
Then drag a subreport control into the data textbox, and then rigth-click the subreport control->select subreport
properties
8.
In the Subreport Properties dialogbox, please selec the subreport name in the drop-down list of
Use this report as a subreport
9.
Swith to
Parameter tab, click Add button to add a parameter, then select the
Year in the Name drop-down list and
Year datafield in the Value drop-down list.
10.
Click OK.
11.
Now add another table control into the
main report body with one column, and drag the product datafiled into the data textbox. Then group the table by
Product.
12.
Drag this table into the
Rows textbox of the main report. Here make sure the height of the rows in Subreport and table creted in step11 is the same, otherwise the lines in not stay in the same level.
Preview the report, you will see the report like picture2.
If you have any question about the steps, please feel free to ask.
Have a wonderful day

Storing 6 millions values in SQL server columns
Hi,
How many values (size) I can store in single SQL server column.
My Scenario,
Column1 Column2 Column3
1 ABC 1,2,3,........(6 millions values)
2 CDE 1,2,3,.......(6 millions values)
and problem is that I can't store them in rows. I need to store them in single column with comma separated.
What would be the best way to store them and retrieve them faster. I am thinking about converting it to byte[] or something but not sure how much time it will take to convert to byte and then again to text.and problem is that I can't store them in rows. I need to store them in single column with comma separated.
No you don't! Unless, that is, you really like to hurt yourself. It's a basic idea that in a relational database that each cell holds an atomic value, and this what relational datbases are optimised for.
That said, if all you want to do is to store a bunch of values that you will never look at in the database, but the database will act as an unintelligent data store you will only look at the values outside the database, then it
could make sense. However, a warning: just because you think that there is no requirement today, don't be surprised that you are sooner or later are asked questions like: "which the highest value for ABC?", "Which value is the most
frequent across ABCs and CDEs?". Questions that are very simple to answer is you have data in a properly designed data model. But extremely to painful to answer if your all values in a single column.
But if you take this, path, yes, storing values in a varbinary(MAX) with four bytes (or whatever that is needed) per value would be the best thing. It takes up less space than a string, and with fixed length it's easier to find value 198713 if this would
be nedded. You seem to be worried about conversion from byte to text. Why is not clear to me, since number are usally born binary. But obviously, I have no idea where you get these values from or how you would use them.
My initial recommendation still stands: store each value in a single row.

All,
I have tried to open up a model which has been developed with earlier versions of sql modeler.
below, I have copied the contents of the calling XML file for your comments,.
it seems like 2.xx version and somehow it shows empty.! I searched through the sub folders and there are 100s of xml files.

Table with column group (one column) - next row is showing on new page instead of below previous row
I am creating new table. My goal is to display some text in few lines like this:
"AAAAAAAA" "BBBBBBBB" "CCCCCCCCC"
"DDDDDDD" "EEEEEEEE"
Actually the next row (with "DD" and "EE" values) is not displayed below first row, but on the next page.
I've tried to put table into rectangle, disabled all page breaks and still the same effect. Any help?Hi Heidi,
Actually, it's not solution, I only gave more details about my problem :)
Another description:
In my report I'm creating Tablix with Column grouping. There is only one column with image (every image has same width). If there is only three pictures, then they are displayed next to each other in one row.
In case, there is more than three pics, another row is showing on next page. I'd like to display all rows one after another on one page.
I've tried to create three vertical lists, and filter each column group to display only records:
1) =(RowNumber("Tablix1")) mod 3 = 1
2) =(RowNumber("Tablix1")) mod 3 = 2
3) =(RowNumber("Tablix1")) mod 3 = 0
Unfortunately, I got an error:
"A FilterExpression for the tablix ‘Tablix1’ uses the function RowNumber. RowNumber cannot be used in filters."
Do You have any other propositions?
--------EDIT--------
ok, I manged to solve it. As I said, I've created three vertival lists and placed them next to each other.
Then, instead of using filter, I've used Visibility trigger:
1)
=IIf(RunningValue(Fields![rowgroupfield].Value, COUNTDISTINCT, "Tablix1") mod 3 = 1, false, true)
2)
=IIf(RunningValue(Fields![rowgroupfield].Value, COUNTDISTINCT, "Tablix2") mod 3 = 2, false, true)
3)
=IIf(RunningValue(Fields![rowgroupfield].Value, COUNTDISTINCT, "Tablix3") mod 3 = 0, false, true)
I had to use function RunningValue to count all occurrences, as my report is quite complex and "RowNumber" [ssrs function] and "ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY [rowgroupfield])" [sql query] were not working properly. -
SQL modeler can not import from data dictionary
It was very frustruted to see that the SQL Modeler hang in import from data dictionary of a database as part of revise engineering. I have to question myself if sql modeler is a serious tool and should I give up.
I am not sure if Data Modeller is still in Beta./Production. First couple off initial versions of a new product are normally buggy.
Regards
Alternatively, If this product is still in Beta, then you can contact the development team or report the issue so that they can take care of this issue in next beta release.

I have the privilege of performing a very tedious task.
We have some home grown regular expressions in our company. I now need to expand these regular expressions.
Samples:
a = 0-3
b = Null, 0, 1
Expression: Meaning
1:5: 1,2,3,4,5
1a: 10, 11, 12, 13
1b: 1, 10, 11
1[2,3]ab: 120, 1200, 1201, ....
It get's even more inetersting because there is a possibility of 1[2,3]a.ab
I have created two base queries to aid me in my quest. I am using the SQL MODEL clause to solve this problem. I pretty confident that I should be able to convert evrything into a range and the use one of the MODEL clause listed below.
My only confusion is how do I INCREMENT dynamically. The INCREMENT seems to be a constant in both a FOR and ITERATE statement. I need to figure a way to increment with .01, .1, etc.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
CODE:
Reference: http://www.sqlsnippets.com/en/topic-11663.html
Objective: Expand a range with ITERATE
WITH t AS
(SELECT '2:4' pt
FROM DUAL
UNION ALL
SELECT '6:9' pt
FROM DUAL)
SELECT pt AS code_expression
-- , KEY
-- , min_key
-- , max_key
, m_1 AS code
FROM t
MODEL
PARTITION BY (pt)
DIMENSION BY ( 0 AS KEY )
MEASURES (
0 AS m_1,
TO_NUMBER(SUBSTR(pt, 1, INSTR(pt, ':') - 1)) AS min_key,
TO_NUMBER(SUBSTR(pt, INSTR(pt, ':') + 1)) AS max_key
RULES
-- UPSERT
ITERATE (100000) UNTIL ( ITERATION_NUMBER = max_key[0] - min_key[0] )
m_1[ITERATION_NUMBER] = min_key[0] + ITERATION_NUMBER
ORDER BY pt, m_1
Explanation:
Line numbers are based on the assupmtion that "WITH t AS" starts at line 5.
If you need detailed information regarding the MODEL clause please refer to
the Refrence site stated above or read some documentation.
Partition-
Line 18: PARTITION BY (pt)
This will make sure that each "KEY" will start at 0 for each value of pt.
Dimension-
Line 19: DIMENSION BY ( 0 AS KEY )
This is necessary for the refrences max_key[0], and min_key[0] to work.
Measures-
Line 21: 0 AS m_1
A space holder for new values.
Line 22: TO_NUMBER(SUBSTR(pt, 1, INSTR(pt, ':') - 1)) AS min_key
The result is '1' for '1:5'.
Line 23: TO_NUMBER(SUBSTR(pt, INSTR(pt, ':') + 1)) AS max_key
The result is '5' for '1:5'.
Rules-
Line 26: UPSERT
This makes it possible for new rows to be created.
Line 27: ITERATE (100000) UNTIL ( ITERATION_NUMBER = max_key[0] - min_key[0] )
This reads ITERATE 100000 times or UNTIL the ITERATION_NUMBER = max_key[0] - min_key[0]
which would be 4 for '1:5', but since the ITERATION_NUMBER starts at 0, whatever follows
is repaeted 5 times.
Line 29: m_1[ITERATION_NUMBER] = min_key[0] + ITERATION_NUMBER
m_1[ITERATION_NUMBER] means m_1[Value of Dimension KEY].
Thus for each row of KEY the m_1 is min_key[0] + ITERATION_NUMBER.

The INCREMENT I would like to use.
Rules-
Line 30: UPSERT
This makes it possible for new rows to be created.
However seems like it is not necessary.
Line 32: m_1[FOR KEY FROM min_key[0] TO max_key[0] INCREMENT 1] = 'Y'
Where the KE value is between min_key[0] and max_key[0] set the value of m_1 to 'Y'
*/Of course, you can accomplish the same thing without MODEL using an Integer Series Generator like this.
create table t ( min_val number, max_val number, increment_size number );
insert into t values ( 2, 3, 0.1 );
insert into t values ( 1.02, 1.08, 0.02 );
commit;
create table integer_table as
select rownum - 1 as n from all_objects where rownum <= 100 ;
select
min_val ,
increment_size ,
min_val + (increment_size * n) as val
from t, integer_table
where
n between 0 and ((max_val - min_val)/increment_size)
order by 3
MIN_VAL INCREMENT_SIZE VAL
1.02 .02 1.02
1.02 .02 1.04
1.02 .02 1.06
1.02 .02 1.08
2 .1 2
2 .1 2.1
2 .1 2.2
2 .1 2.3
2 .1 2.4
2 .1 2.5
2 .1 2.6
2 .1 2.7
2 .1 2.8
2 .1 2.9
2 .1 3

help queryYou use REPLACE function to selectively replace text inside a string in SQL Server. The REPLACE function is easy to use and very handy with an UPDATE statement.
SELECT Replace(births, '00', '')
or
update .....
Also you can use STUFF()
This function can be used for delete a certain length of the string and insert a new string in the deleted place.
Select STUFF ('199900', 5, 2, '')

Hii ..
need help on this ..
This what I am doing ..
I am using a DATAEXPORT function to export level0 data from my essbase 11.1.2.2 to Microsoft SQL 2008 tables.
So what I did first I exported the level0 data to a flat file using DATAEXPORT and the created the SQL columns by the same in that order only in my SQL table.
When I run it fails with this error:
ODBC Layer Error: [21S01] ==> [[DataDirect][ODBC SQL Server Wire Protocol driver][Microsoft SQL Server]Column name or number of supplied values does not match table definition.]
[Tue Jul 23 18:26:07 2013]Local/dataexp/dataexp/admin@Native Directory/1209813312/Info(1021014)

Total Calc Elapsed Time for [test.csc] : [1.44] seconds
=============================================================
I did a simple test on my Sample.basic application then ..
loaded the calc data to it and then used the below script to export to a flat file
//ESS_LOCALE English_UnitedStates.Latin1@Binary
SET DATAEXPORTOPTIONS
DataExportLevel "Level0";
DataExportOverwriteFile ON;
DataExportColFormat OFF;
DataExportDimHeader OFF;
FIX(
"Jan",
"Sales",
"Actual"
/*DATAEXPORT "File" "," "/home/hypadmin/samtest.txt";*/
DATAEXPORT "DSN" "Abhitest" "sample" "sa" "welcome1";
ENDFIX
out put as below:
"Sales"
"100-30","California"
"Jan","Actual",145
Now In sql I created only 3 columns with name Jan/Sales/Actual and when I run this script again with comments removed .. I get the same error as what I have got in my first test case with other application ..
but when I create the columns with same name as what its in export
Sales/100-30/Califirnia/Jan/Actual
It created the new rows successfully ..
So with this I think the error which I am getting with my other application might be because of the same column issue .. but then I have created all the columns by looking at the export file only as I did in sample ..
Any idea would be helpful ..
Thanks
Abhishek
IFirst make sure you add
DataExportRelationalFile ON;
to your set commands it is missing
I alwats like to also add
DataExportColHeader dimensionName;
so I am sure what dimension is getting put into the columns.
Then count the number of dimensions in your outline (exclude attribute dimensions). You need at least that many columns in your table -1 + the number of members you will be returning as columns in the export
Taking your example Sample basic has 5 dimensions
Measures
Years
Scenario
Product
Market
Since you did not specify a dataexportcolheader it took the dense dimension Scenario as the columns. Your fix statement is limiting that to one member. Doing the math
5 -1 + 1 = 5 columns in your table which is what you found works. Suppose you fixed on bothe Actual and budget in scenario then you would need 6 columns 5 -1 +2 -
Setting the header of a Column group in a Advanced table dynamically
Hi All,
There is a requirement to set the Header of a column group in a Advanced table dynamically by fetching the values from a view attribute.
Code :
OAAdvancedTableBean spiderTbl1 ;
Problem:
It is not able to set the value for the header inspite of getting the handle of the bean.
Analysis:
the same piece of code works for
1) Setting the text of the advanced table
2) Setting the header of a column in a column group
Please let me know if there is anything more that needs to be done for setting the prompt of a column group header.
Thanks in advance!I have posted it without giving the complete code by mistake. Below is the code:
OAAdvancedTableBean spiderTbl1 ;
OASortableHeaderBean spiderHdr1;
spiderTbl1 = (OAAdvancedTableBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("SpiderCatTbl1RN");
if (spiderTbl1!=null){
spiderHdr1= (OASortableHeaderBean)spiderTbl1.findChildRecursive("AnalogHdr");
if (spiderHdr1!=null) {
spiderHdr1.setAttributeValue(OAWebBeanConstants.PROMPT_ATTR,
new OADataBoundValueViewObject(spiderHdr1,
"SpiderCategory1",
"ProjRegPVO1"));

Dropdown in column group of a table
I am building a table with one multiple column groups, each has a number of columns, one of these columns have a dropdownbykey field. I get a ClassCastException on this. It seems like there is a bug in the implementation, because when I move the dropdown out of the column group it works fine.
Regards
JuanHow is the "selectedKey" property of the dropdown-list bound
You need to bind the property "selectedKey" for the DropdownByKey UIElement

Problem with column groups on Interactive Report
Hi
I am hoping that someone can help with this problem.
I am attempting to control both the grouping and ordering within each group of fields in the single row view of an interactive report. Creating column groups appears to be OK at first (sequence, name and description) but if I then attempt to edit the group, the sequence box appears to be empty even though it was filled with a unique number at the time of creating the group.
In addition, any changes to the order of the fields within the group made using the shuttle box at the bottom of the screen don't seem to be saved even to the Apply Changes button is pressed.
Anybody know what is happening here and can anyone suggest how to control both the order of the groups and ordering within each group?
Thanks in anticipation
