SSRS Compare a string value in an column

I need to show a text box that shows a message if the string values of a column on SSRS report have mixed values.
I need to compare the first three letters of a string to see if its different. If different then unhid Textbox and show a message. How can I do this in SSRS or SQL (if sql how do I feed it to SSRS)?
For example
Substring(alloy,1,3) <> Substring(alloy,1,3)
ALLOY
KZA1
KZD1 << is different
KZA2

If your scope is the whole dataset then you can add a total row to the tablix outside any groups or
simply add a textbox below the tablix and apply the same principle:
=IIf(Min(Fields!Alloy.Value,"DatasetName") <> Max(Fields!Alloy.Value,"DatasetName"), "Mixed Alloy", "")
=IIf(Min(Left(Fields!Alloy.Value,3),"DatasetName") <> Max(Left(Fields!Alloy.Value,3),"DatasetName"), "Mixed Alloy", "")
This should do what you are asking. The only way that the minimum value for alloy will equal the maximum value for allow is if all values for alloy in the dataset are the same. When that happens, empty string is displayed in your text box rendering it invisible
if you set borders appropriately. Otherwise you will see "Mixed Alloy" in the text box.

Frequency of string values in a column

I have a column (1500 rows) in which 5 different string values occur (R1, R2, R3, R4, R5). is there any way to count the frequency of each string value so the distribution can be charted?
Many Thx.
Malbara

Malbara,
You can use the COUNTIF function to calculate the frequencies.

How to compare 2 string value?

i am creating a change password page, but having some problem,
i use this
if ( oldpassword == OrgPass)
out.println("correct pass");
else
out.println("incorrect pass");
both oldpassword and OrgPass are string, but even though the value of oldpassword and Orgpass are the same, it will still return a incorrect pass. Can anyone please help me with this?

instead of this
if ( oldpassword == OrgPass)
out.println("correct pass");
try this
if ( oldpassword.equals(OrgPass))
out.println("correct pass");

Compare floating point values in a column

I have a column defined as NUMBER. The values are say 1.2345 and 1.23443. Visually i can say they are almost the same but if i do select count(distinct colA) from table it gives two values, which is perfectly right. What i want to do is say if they are less than 0.0001 then count them as same value.
You could argue if i use ROUND or TRUNCATE to the 'n' decimal point but i see this as an issue even even to two decimal places. If the 3rd digit after the decimal is greater than 5 it would round the 2nd digit. If i use TRUNCATE to 'n' places then the last digit might be smaller than the previous value so again the same issue.
However, my problem is how do i do if its in 2 or 3 different rows for the same column. If they are in two columns, i am able to do (COLA - COLB) and if the value is < 0.00001 then ignore or filter from the query result.
Example:
ColA , ColB
Variable1, 1.23453876
Variable1, 1.2342736
Variable1, 1.23420087
Variable2, 10.250
Variable2, 15.775
Variable3, -1.93815994262695
Variable3, -1.93815803527832
Output: Count of unique values for each variable in columnA
Variable1, 1
Variable2, 2
Variable3, 1
OR
Output: Display on those variables whose values is more than 0.0001 (4 digits after the decimal)
Variable2, 2
I am using oracle 10.2 Enterprise Edition and accessing data via TOAD
Thanks

Peter,
Thank you for the sql, i had not tried lag function before so it was new to me. I modified it slightly to lag by 'partition query'. The issue i see is it does delta between only two consecutive values so if there are 5 values in 5 rows then they can be off by 0.0001 (some small number) and we will never catch those variables because the case statement would evaluate to '0' based on the if condition.
However, for my case it would work perfectly fine since i wanted to separate small values from the real obvious big deltas. As in the case below where the delta was 5.XX which narrows down to Variable2.

Get Row reference in advanced table to set the value of custom column

Hi,
I have a requirement to add a new column PHP Amount in Manage Charge page which is a entry page where all the charges are entered for a PO. This region is based on Advanced table.
As per requirement, Newly created column should populate the value of the existing column (Amount) or vice verse i.e. value entered in amount column should be set to PHP Amount column for a particular row. and the value entered in PHP amount should be stored in the custom table.
I have added the column via personalization and setting the view attribute in extended controller as this column is not the part of the database table on which the VO is based upon. Also added a PPR event in process request function in controller. And getting the reference of the row in processForm Request's PPR event and invoking the method defined in my custom AM for getting and setting the columns values . Here i can't extend the root AM as the Page have LOV columns so i have created my custom AM and adding it dynamically in controller.
Here is the complete code

I m not able to set the PHP Amount column value entered in Amount column. But i am able to set the Amount column value to PHP amount column.
I m not getting the Row Reference in case PPR event triggered in PHP Amount column . It is giving Null reference in case of PHP Amount.
I don't know what i m missing ..Can anyone help me here..
Thanks in advance
Renu

but using second way you will not be able to save those record in database, to save in database you have to override setter method also
Code will be like this -
    public String getBillRemarks() {
       return getSuppNmTrans(); // This is first Column Value
       // return (String) getAttributeInternal(BILLREMARKS);    }
    public void setBillRemarks(String value) {
       //Setting First Column Value in Second
       setAttributeInternal(BILLREMARKS, getSuppNmTrans());
But i suggest you to use valueChangeListener on first field to set value in second one

"How to get distinct values of sharepoint column using SSRS"

Hi,
    I have integrated sharepoint list data to SQL Server reporting services. I am using the below to query sharepoint list data using sql reporting services.
<Query>
   <SoapAction>http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/GetListItems</SoapAction>
   <Method Namespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/" Name="GetListItems">
      <Parameters>

</Query>
By using this query, I am getting a dataset which includes all the columns of sharepoint list. Among these columns, I wanted to display only 2 columns (i.e Region and Sales type) using chart. I have created a Region parameter but when I click preview, the drop down box is giving me all the repeatative values of region like RG1,RG1,RG1,RG2,RG2,RG2,RG2,RG3.......... I wanted to display only distinct values of Region parameter so that whenever end user select region from the parameter drop down, it will display the respective value of Sales type column.
Also when I select only RG1 parameter, it is giving me a chart including the sales type of all the Regions. (it should display me only the sales type of RG1) How can I link these 2 columns so that they will display the values respectively.
          I would really appreciate if anyone can help me out with this.
Thanks,
Sam.

Hi Sam,
By code, the CAML language doesn’t have any reserved word (or tag) to set this particular filter to remove duplicate results.
In this case, we could use the custom code to get distinct records.
Here are the detailed steps:
1.         Create a hidden parameter that gets all the records in one field.
Note: Please create another dataset that is same of the main dataset. This dataset is used for the parameter.
2.         Create a function that used to remove the duplicate records.
Here is the code:
Public Shared Function RemoveDups(ByVal items As String) As String
Dim noDups As New System.Collections.ArrayList()
Dim SpStr
SpStr = Split(items ,",")
For i As Integer=0 To Ubound(Spstr)
If Not noDups.Contains(SpStr(i).Trim()) Then
noDups.Add(SpStr(i).Trim())
End If
Next
Dim uniqueItems As String() = New String(noDups.Count-1){}
noDups.CopyTo(uniqueItems)
Return String.Join(",", uniqueItems)
End Function
3.         Create another parameter that will be used for filtering the maindata.
Please set the available value to be =Split(Code.RemoveDups(JOIN(Parameters!ISSUE_STATUS_TEMP.Value, ",")), ",")
And the default value to be the value you what such as the first value:
=Split(Code.RemoveDups(JOIN(Parameters!ISSUE_STATUS_TEMP.Value, ",")), ",").(0)
4.         Go to the main dataset. Open the property window of this dataset.
5.         In the “Filters” tab, set the filter to be:
Expression: <The field to be filter>
Operator: =
Value: =Parameters!Region.Value
The parameter “Region” should be the parameter we created in the step3.
Now, we should get distinct values of SharePoint columns.
If there is anything unclear, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,
Jin

Satheesh Variath, I just had to make some corrections from your script to get the correct answer:
CREATE

AS
SELECT
TOP 1 t.IDNO,t.name,t.[Date],t.Price1,t.Price2,
CASE
WHEN t.Price2
> LAG(Price2,1)
OVER (PARTITION

ORDER BY IDNO)
THEN 1
WHEN t.Price2
< LAG(Price2,1)
OVER (PARTITION
BY name
ORDER BY IDNo)
THEN -1
ELSE 0
END
AS Comp
FROM
@T t
ORDER
BY DATE
DESC
The adjustments: the selection of the most recent comparison (Top 1) and the use of the function LAG (instead of LEAD) to get the previous value of the column.

How to align a String value to the right side inside a table column?

Hi,
I have a text view inside a table column which is mapped to a string attribute. I need to align the text in the text view to the right hand inside the table column. But its always getting aligned towards the left side. I have tried by setting the <b>hAlign</b> property of Element properties of Text View to <b>right / forced right</b> but still the text is getting aligned to the left side.
How do I align the String values in Text View towards the right hand side inside a Table Column?
Thanks and Regards,
Sayan Ghosh

Hello Sayan,
if i do get it right, you are adding an TextView element to a Table Cell. Then you should consider setting aligment within the particular cell. By calling:
YourCell.setHorizontalAlignment(CellHAlign.RIGHT)

Compare the current value with the previous value in the same column

Hi all,
I have to include a statement in a query which allows to compare the current value of column A with the previous value of column A (same column). from there, I need to add a condition in order to have the expected result.
Let's take an example to illustrate what I want to achieve:
I have the following columns in table called 'Charges':
Ship_id batch_nr Order_nr Price
SID1111 9997 MD5551 50
SID1111 9998 MD5552 50
SID1111 9999 MD5553 50
SID2222 8887 MD6661 80
SID2222 8887 MD6662 80
SID2222 8887 MD6662 80
SID3333 6666 MD7771 90
I want to check if the ship_id of row 2,3 (and more if available) is equal to the ship_id of row 1.
If it is the case, then value 'together with the first batch_nr' in row 2 and 3 under Price column. If not, then keep the original value of Price column
PLease see below the expected result:
Ship_id batch_nr Order_nr Price
SID1111 9997 MD5551 50
SID1111 9998 MD5552 together with 9997
SID1111 9999 MD5553 together with 9997
SID2222 8887 MD6661 80
SID2222 8887 MD6662 together with 8887
SID2222 8887 MD6663 together with 8887
SID3333 6666 MD7771 90
Thanks in advance for your help, it is really urgent.

]That looks like the query you were using before you started this thread.
Modify it, using the analytic fucntions FIRST_VALUE and LAG, like I showed you.
I see that you did simplify the problem quite a bit, and it's good that you did that.
It doesn't matter that your real problem involves joins or GROUP BY. Analytic functions are calculated on the results after all joins and GROUPS BYs are done. Just substitute your real expressions for the simplified ones.
For example, in your simplified problem, there was a column called order_nr, but I see now that's it's really called o.ordnum. Where the solution I posted earlier says "ORDER BY order_nr", you should say "ORDER BY o.ordnum".
Here's a less obvious example: in your simplifed problem, there was a column called price, but I see now that it's really SUM (tc1.chrg_amt + tc2.chrg_amt + tc3.chrg_amt). Where the solution I posted earlier says "TO_CHAR (price)", you should say "TO_CHAR (SUM (tc1.chrg_amt + tc2.chrg_amt + tc3.chrg_amt))". (You can't use an alias, like "Total Price", in the same SELECT clasue where it is defined.)
I removed some columns from the select as they are not relevant for the wanted action like 'adress details or other references'.
Now here is the result:
Shipment ID     Order Number     WMS Batch     Freight      Fuel Price Order Total Price
SID0132408     MDK-000014-05602649     04641401     110     10 120
SID0132408     MDK-000014-05602651     04641402     110     10 120
SID0132408     MDK-000014-05602652     04641363     110     10 120
as you can see, the 3 orders have the same shipment ID.
The expected result should be shown under column 'Total Price' as follows:
Shipment ID     Order Number     WMS Batch     Freight      Fuel Price Order Total Price
SID0132408     MDK-000014-05602649     04641401     110     10 120
SID0132408     MDK-000014-05602651     04641402     110     10 tog with 04641401
SID0132408     MDK-000014-05602652     04641363     110     10 tog with 04641401Okay, so those are the correct results that I asked for, plus the incorrect results you're getting now. Thanks; extra information doesn't hurt.
But where is the raw data that you're starting with?
It looks like you tried to format the code (but not the results) by typing this 1 character:
before the formatted section and this different character
after the formatted section. To post formatted text on this site, type these 6 characters
before the formatted section, and the exact same 6 characters again after the formatted section.

Need to compare values in two columns of one table against values in two columns in another table

Hi, as the title reads, I'm looking for an approach that will allow me to compare values in two columns of one table against values in two columns in another table.
Say, for instance, here are my tables:
Table1:
Server,Login
ABCDEF,JOHN
ABCDEF,JANE
FEDCBA,SEAN
FEDCBA,SHAWN
Table2:
Server,Login
ABCDEF,JOHN
ABCDEF,JANE
FEDCBA,SHAWN
In comparing the two tables, I'd like my query to report the rows in table1 NOT found in table2. In this case, it'll be the 3rd row of table one:
Server,Login
FEDCBA,SEAN
Thanks.

create table Table1([Server] varchar(50), Login varchar(50))
Insert into Table1 values ('ABCDEF','JOHN'),('ABCDEF','JANE'),('FEDCBA','SEAN'),('FEDCBA','SHAWN')
create table Table2([Server] varchar(50), Login varchar(50))
Insert into Table2 values ('ABCDEF','JOHN'),('ABCDEF','JANE'), ('FEDCBA','SHAWN')
select [Server] ,Login from Table1
Except
select [Server] ,Login from Table2
select [Server] ,Login from Table1 t1
where not exists(Select 1 from Table2 where t1.[Server] = t1.[Server] AND Login=t1.Login)
drop table Table1,Table2

How do you lookup multiple values in different columns based on variable criteria?

Essentially, I'd like to be able to do a Vlookup but instead of searching for one value only, search for multiple values in separate columns. A smaller version of my current spreadsheet as an example...
Attack Type ->
Fire
Water
Grass
Fire
1/2x
2x
1/2x
Water
1/2x
1/2x
2x
Grass
2x
1/2x
1/2x
Fire/Water
1/4x
1x
1x
Fire/Grass
1x
1x
1/4x
Grass/Water
1x
1/4x
1x
The headers are the attack types and the list of types to the left are the receiving Pokemon. Fire does half damage (1/2x) to fire types, Water does double damage (2x) to fire types, etc. I'd like to be able to search for specific damages for each type. For example, I'd like to find a Typing that recieves half (1/2x) damage from Fire-type attacks but also recieves double (2x) from Grass-type attacks. I do want more than just two search criteria though seeing as the actual table is much, much larger.
I've tried assigning number values to each damage multiplier and then merging all of them together for a specific typing and doing a VLOOKUP based on checkboxes determining what damage multiplier I want in a few specific types, the rest being filled in to the standard of 1x but the result isn't correct most of the time.

Hi Mitchell,
VLOOKUP can be set for accept either an 'exact match' or a 'close match'. Your 17 digit 'number' is actually a 17 character text string (Numbers can handle numbers to a precision of only 15 places). Provided all 17 digits are present, sorting should be the same as for numerical values—the leftmost character is the most significant.
As a text string, your 'number' is sorted/evaluated alphabetically. A 'close match' accepts the 'largest value that is less than or equal to the search value'.
If your search term is 000200000 (a 9 character string), several 'wrong' answers will fit the 'close match' criteria, including all of those listed below:
000200000 (the 'correct' match)
0000xxxxx (x may be any of the three acceptable values)
0001xxxxx (x may be any of the three acceptable values)
The main problem here is that digits in a number (or characters in a text string) have decreasing significance related to their distance from the beginning of the string/number. You want a search in which each character has the same significance as each of the others when compared to the search key. To do that, you need to compare each character in the search string with the character in the same position in the similar string for each type of Pokemon, then take a count of the matches or a sum of the differences.
Here's one approach:
Column A contains labels.
Column B, the 17 digit search term, created in whatever manner you wish, and the similar 17 digit string for each of the characters.
Columns C through S contains a formula that detines, using subtraction, the difference between each digit of the search term and the corresponding digit of each character's profile.
Column C uses SUM() to calculate the total of columns C to S for each row.
T1 uses =MIN(T) to calculate "least different" profile.
Column A is a Header column; Row 1 is a Header row.
Formulas:
C2, and filled right to S2, then down to the last row of data:
=ABS(MID($B$1,COLUMN()-2,1)-MID($B2,COLUMN()-2,1))
T1: =MIN(T)
T2, and filled down column T: =SUM(C2:S2)
The conditional formatting rule set for all body cells in column T is shown below the table.
This may be enough to get you started. Formulas can be tweaked to produce results more closely matching what you're looking for, if necessary.

Barry

I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a complete procedure or block, a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all tables, so that people can re-create the probnlem and test their ideas. Also post the results you want from that data.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using.

I tried this as example code
if (request.getParameter("param").compareTo("comparison"))
And find that my JSP has a null pointer exception......

Retrieving multiple values from one column in SELECT statement

Hi,
I have a slight dilemma in that I'm trying to pull down all the values from a column from a select statement that includes some JOINS in it.
If I run the query at the SQL Plus prompt, it pulls back all the values/rows.
When I run the select (and prepared ) statement in my JSP, it only pulls back one of the 4 values I'm trying to retrieve.
e.g.
at the DB level :
SELECT role_name, CC_ID FROM votetbl a
INNER JOIN APPROVERS b ON
a.BUSVP = b.BUSVP AND
a.BRANCH = b.BRANCH
WHERE CC_ID = 1688this will return:
ROLE_NAME CC_ID
ops 1688
ops 1688
comply 1688
legal 1688
comply 1688
When run in my JSP, like so:
String primID3a = request.getParameter("primID");
Statement stmtovoter = connection.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);
String prepvotSQL = "SELECT role_name, CC_ID FROM votetbl a INNER JOIN APPROVERS b ON a.BUSVP = b.BUSVP AND " +
"a.BRANCH = b.BRANCH WHERE CC_ID = ?";
PreparedStatement prepvotstmt = connection.prepareStatement(prepvotSQL);
prepvotstmt.setString(1, primID3a);
ResultSet rest3 = prepvotstmt.executeQuery();
rest3.next();
String votecat = rest3.getString(1);
out.println("Vote category: "+votecat);I only get ops returned.
Do I need to run an enumerator? Or reqest.getParameterValues or use a while statement around the results set?
Any feedback and direction here is welcomed!
Thanks!

Actually, I tried looping and still only get 1, but returned several times.
i.e.
PreparedStatement prepvotstmt = connection.prepareStatement(prepvotSQL);
prepvotstmt.setString(1, primID3a);
ResultSet rest3 = prepvotstmt.executeQuery();
rest3.next();
String votecat = rest3.getString(1);
while (rest3.next()) {
out.print("category roles "+votecat);
}then I get returned the following:
admincategory roles admincategory roles admincategory roles admincategory roles admincategory roles admincategory roles admincategory roles admincategory roles admincategory roles admincategory roles admincategory roles admin
like so.
Where as at the DB level I get
ROLE_NAME CC_ID
admin 1688
ops 1688
ops 1688
ops 1688
ops 1688
ops 1688
ops 1688
ops 1688
risk 1688
comply 1688
legal 1688
legal 1688
ops 1688
comply 1688
Maybe the while should go around the getString(1) designation? But I was thinking I'd tried that and gotten invalid cursor error
Something is definitely amiss, between the prepared statement in the servlet and the SELECT statement at the DB level.
I can totally hardcode the statement in the servlet or JSP and it will return one value potentially several times, but only one.
Other times, it will not return a value at all, even though one resides in the db.
Yet go to the DB/SQL Plus prompt and it returns perfectly. I can simply copy and paste the SELECT statement from the out.print line I made and it works like a champ in SQL Plus. Any ideas why the same exact thing cannot return the proper values within the servlet/JSP?
Yeeeeeeesh!!! : (
