Static Data Formatting in SSRS VS2010

Hello - I hope you guys are having a wonderful day so far!!
I am using a SQL Server 2012 with VS 2010. In my SSRS report, I have a SP based data set. On top of what the report pulls based on user entered parameters, I want 6 rows of additional static data to be included in the report. So, at the bottom of the report
I created 6 static fields and manually entered all the hard coded values. Please mind that these static values repeat every month. So far works great. My challenge is to format the amount field. Although, I was able to change the text box properties and formatted
the values as 'Currency' but it does not come across currency when a report is rendered. In addition to that I have a ID field which increments by number based on # of rows. Last 6 rows of static data do not have IDs in front of them. Similarly, the user entered
parameters 'Start Date' and 'End Date' are also not populated for those static rows. So, how is it possible to assign IDs, user entered parameter values and values formatting in the static rows? I am wondering if any solutions applying expressions are available
or even possible? Gurus, please suggest. Thank you again!

Hi SQLTurtleReally,
According to your description, you want to sum the values in the appended static row and the total value of detail rows. Also you have a column to show the row numbers and include those static rows. Right?
In Reporting Services, when we use build-in Aggregation function, it only works within a scope, this scope can be Group, data region or DataSet. In this scenario, even the static rows are in the tablix, it has nothing to do with the detail rows, they are
not in a same scope. So the RowNumber() and Sum() function can never include the values in those static rows. For your requirement, the most effective workaround is add these hard code values into database as records so that they will be in same DataSet with
the detail rows.

En-CA Language has incorrect Date Format in SSRS report

When I set the Language on a Report to "en-CA", then dates are formatted as dd/mm/yyyy.
This differs from the OS default format of yyyy-mm-dd for en-CA.
Is there any way to tweak the date format for a specific Language in SSRS?
Please don't say I need to add Format() calls to all of the dates in the reports... What I want to do is just give SSRS the correct date format for "en-CA" and let it do the work of formatting automatically.

Hi Andy,
In Reporting Services, by default, formats for date are determined by the report server language at run time. The report server language is the language of the operating system on which the report server is installed. This language is determined by the regional
settings of the computer.
Generally, the report server language supports for all ten of the SQL Server languages. But the en-CA language is not supported by SQL Server. In this way, the report server uses the mostly closely matched language of the operating system as the language.
For example, the operating system is Canada English. Because Canada English and U.S. English are in the same language family, it chooses the SQL Server language resource that most closely matches Canada English (in this case U.S. English). So the date format
uses en-US format.

Multi line HTML data formatting on SSRS reprot

Hi
I am using SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 , data fetching by Project server database,data value is getting by multi line rich text field.
when showing same data in HTML format
on ssrs reports its shows every style what ever user copy and paste on particular field like font size ,colors and them.
I have requirement to show unique font size and unique family font,I am unable to achieve this using lot of placeholder properties.
below u can find the example

Hi Hasan,
According to your description that the some of the report data retrieved by multi line rich text field, which style show differently in the report, you have tried to create the placeholder using the HTML tag to format the data
but failed to achieve, right?
The issue due to the rich text formatting is not supported in SSRS 2008, Currently, you have mentioned that you tried to using the HTML tag to reformat the text but failed, that may due to Reporting Services support limit HTML tags when defined as placeholder
text. Please see:
• Hyperlinks: <A href>
• Fonts: <FONT>
• Header, style and block elements: <H{n}>, <DIV>, <SPAN>,<P>, <DIV>, <LI>, <HN>
• Text format: <B>, <I>, <U>, <S>
• List handling: <OL>, <UL>, <LI>
In your scenario, I recommend you to take reference of method below to get the unique format text.
Check the supported HTML tag and using the correct tag to format
If you want to get the RTF format:
If using Report Viewer Windows control, we can render the RTF file into IMG file, and then display the image on the report.
Nayan Patel written good artilce about this:
http://binaryworld.net/Main/CodeDetail.aspx?CodeId=4049
This article give us the idea to convert RTF to image and then display on the report.
You can also convert the RTF text to the plain text which by default in the report:

SSRS is weird with date format

hello everyone,
I've got the weirdest problem.
At first it was the calendar in internet exporer showing the dutch format (which i want). After choosing the date i try to view the report. It wil tell me the date isnt in the right format. So for example. 22-02-2015 is wrong and should be 02-22-2015.
For the normal user this is annoying enough and i dont understand why the datepicker acts different than the report wants.
But now even stanger. I wanted to put a default date in my variable so i can test a bit easier. So i fill in 31-12-2015 and its accepted. But when i run the report, it tells me that the format is wrong. Soooooo. I changed the default value to 12-31-2015
(the english format)..... BUT!!! now the variable default value isnt accepted because its not in the right format.
Can someone please tell me how i can avoid format changes between browsers/platforms/computers or what so ever.
there is 1 format i want and nothing else. dd-MM-yyyy thats the way and nothing else.

Hi Fibre1980,
As per my understanding, when you preview the report, you hope that the date is displayed in the format dd-MM-yyyy in calendar, right?
In Reporting Services, the format of date in calendar control depends on your client machines language and regional settings. If you want to display date in the format dd-MM-yyyy, you can get parameter values from a query, so that values get populated in a
dropdown list and displayed in your required format.
Here is a relevant thread you can reference:

List View does not retain date formats from Excel

i am using List View control to isplay data. When i scroll the horizontal bar inlist view, the date format changes to numbers. is there were to stop this happening.
regards
Chandra

Hi Chandra,
Are you getting the values from any live connection or is it static data from the excel file?
You can also try to goto properties of component and in the appearence tab,select the format of the values as "DATE".
Incase you are getting the values from the live connection, you can select a different cell which would reference to the data coming from the connection and use it into the components.
e.g.: if values are coming in cell"A1" then goto some empty cell as B1 and type in"=A1" and use this new cell into the component.
Let me know if this works.
Thanks,
Amit.

SSAS Cube parameter date format change

Hi Experts,
I am new to SSRS report creation. I have a parameter which is fetching date from cube. The date format from cube is YYYY-MM-DD.
I want expression to change the date format to DD/MM/YYYY.
I have used this expression - =Format(CDATE(Parameters!DimPromoUBUBStartDate.Value),"dd/MM/yyyy")
but it is not working and getting the following error,
"unable to cast object of type 'System.object[]' to type 'system Iconvertible'
Please give your suggestions
Thanks in Advance,
Rajan

Hi Rajan,
According to your description, when you convert the "YYYY-MM-DD" formatted data from the parameter and change the format, it throw the error above. Right?
In this scenario, the reason why you get this error because you set allow multiple values in that parameter. When we allow multiple values in a parameter, all select values will be put into a array when processing even you only select one value. And
the CDate() function can't convert the object[]. So please unselect the allow multiple values in parameter. If you want to keep multiple values selection, you can only convert one element from the array. For example: CDate(Parameter!XXXX.Value(0))
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Date format conversion in BEX query level

Hi ,
We had a date field in the numeric format like 735.020 in the cube level, but when we execute the query the values for thsi date field is changed in to date format like 31.05.2013.
we are not having any conversion routines and the date fields are used directly in the query .

Hi,
Try the below class file or may be create a method in your controller. It will resolve your problem.
package com.XXX.DateFormatForSAP;
import java.util.Date;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
public class FormatSAPDate {
public static String changeDateFormat(Date sapDate) {
String formattedDate = null;
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
formattedDate = dateFormat.format(sapDate);
return formattedDate;
Try this code and let me know.

How to convert date format(mm/dd/yy) into dd-mm-yy

I want to convert date format(mm/dd/yy) into dd-mm-yy
like 12/23/06 into 23-sep-06

hey, you can use SimpleDateFormat to format your date. this is sample code, maybe could help you.
class dateFormat
     public static void main(String[] args)
          Date now = new Date();
          System.out.println("Before format : "+now);
          SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat( "dd-MM-yy" );//Change your date format in here.
          String display = sdf.format(now);
          System.out.println("After format : "+display);
}If you already understand about my sample code, i think it's easy to make your own date format. Just modified few line of my code.

Date Format Issue with Interactive Form

Hi, here is the scenario:
-We just upgraded to SP17 from SP15
-I'm using Livecycle Designer 8.0
When we were on SP15, this was not an issue. I was wondering if anyone encountered this problem and if so, if there is a workaround?
I create an interactive form to start a guided procedure process. Im passing the data from my desktop Interactive form to another callable object in GP to send an email with the PDF attached. This all works correclty.
My date/time fields are set to type DATE with a display pattern of YYYY-MM-DD. When I create the form in the GP administrator to my desktop and open the PDF, the date format is correct. However, when I submit the form to start the process, the incomming date fields to be mapped to my second Callable Object have change in format from "2009-02-18" to "Wed Feb 18 00:00:00 EST 2009".
This is true in the new form I receive via email, and also in NWA->monitoring->guided procedures when I check the instances. The input mapping is already set to the false formatting.
When I open the form from the second callable object with the incorrect date format (in designer), the date's display patterns are set to YYYY-MM-DD but are not being displayed as such.
New discovery....I tried to create a Business Logic callable object and format the date. I created a string input and date output and mapped them accordingly. When I perform a "TEST" from the design time and use the input "Wed Feb 18 00:00:00 EST 2009", the string is automatically converted to 18/02/2009 in the output, which is what I want to occur. The only problem is when I run the actual process, the same "Wed Feb 18 00:00:00 EST 2009" is being output instead of the 18/02/2009 in the TEST.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.

Problem with date format parameter in SSRS2012 after migration from SSRS2008

Hello,
We are migration from
Reporting Services 2008 on Windows 2008 server
to
Reporting Services 2012 with Always On on Windows 2012 server.
I have a report that expects a date in the querystring: "...&DateTo=17/09/2014"
This use to work in the previous environment and now fails !
I logged onto the server with the credentials that runs SSRS and changed its regional settings to French(France): It didn't helped.
I tried passing in the date otherwise "...&DateTo=09/17/2014": it worked !
I tried changing the regional settings in my IE and it worked but that can't be a solution... it is still working on my Windows 2008 server... unless there is a statement from Microsoft that it explains that now it works only like this but I would be surprised... is it ?
I also saw that changing a directive in the web page can help but, why did it stopped working, is it the handling of a default value for regional settings that changed in SSRS ?
I would need help to understand this, thank you for any help you can provide.
Regards,
Claude VERNIER

Hi Claude,
Based on my research, SQL Server doesn’t supports DD/MM/YYYY date format. When we insert “17/09/2014” value in a date type column, it pops up an error message that “String was not recognized as a valid DateTime”. It means that the value “17/09/2014” is acted
as “2014/17/09” string. So in your scenario, we cannot get the expect results.
To work around this issue, we should change it to “09/17/2014”.

Date order in SSRS report

Hi All;
I am using below formula for date order in SSRS
=Format( Fields!scheduledstartValue.Value,
"MM yyyy")
Date comes in teh order as below
for teh year 2014 order is right but 2015 should be at the last
Any much appreciated
Thanks
Pradnya07

Thats because Format causes values to return as string type
Use sort expression as
=Fields!scheduledstartValue.Value
And use the format expression only for the display

Translating a date format in a filename string

Hi,
Basically I have a property like:
filename=MyFile(yyyy-MM-dd@HHmmss).logWhen I create the file I want to translate the embedded date format string using the current date.
My solution is as follows:
   private static void createFile(String fName) {
      String[] fNameArray = new String[3];
      int openBracket = fName.indexOf("(");
      int closeBracket = fName.indexOf(")");
      // Split the file name into prefix, text inside brackets ie to be tranlated to a date and suffix
      fNameArray[0] = fName.substring(0, openBracket+1);
      fNameArray[1] = fName.substring(openBracket+1, closeBracket);
      fNameArray[2] = fName.substring(closeBracket);
      String dateFormat = fNameArray[1];
      DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat(dateFormat);
      String date = df.format(new Date());
      fNameArray[1] = date;
      fName = fNameArray[0].concat(fNameArray[1].concat(fNameArray[2]));
      ...This seems a little long winded to me (it works though). Does anyone know of a simpler way to code this?
Many Thanks

I've been looking around and came across String.format() which can be used to format strings using substitutions variables.
This works a treat but I must admit the property now looks a bit complex!
   String fName = "MyFile_%1$tY%1$tm%1$td%1$tH%1$tM%1$tS.log";
   fName = String.format(fName, Calendar.getInstance());
   // fName = MyFile_20060803132200.logThanks for your help.
