I'm trying to figure out a way to dynamically create a report summary that lists the totals of instances for each account dynamically at the beginning or end of the report. An account will only show up on the report if that account had any instances in the date/time range established by the Start/End date parameter fields, so every account will not always show, hence the dynamic part of the problem. There is surprising sparse information on how to do this from what I've found. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Use Insert, CrossTab...
Select Account as the row and select the value you wish to summarize.
There are many other options if you look into CrossTab features...

I have an SSRS report that combines 5 reports into one. Each report is populated from a different stored procedure. The first page is a summary that is to provide a record count from each report. I've created fields in the stored procedure that provides the counts for each individual report: phycount and nonphyscount. I'm trying to create a table similar to this:
Active comes from one data set, Initial comes from another, Recert comes from another, etc.
I've been playing around with the Lookup and LookupSet but I'm just getting errors, plus I'm not sure if that's even the right direction.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Lookup and Lookupset are more for getting specific values out of a dataset. Very useful but not necessary for what you're trying to accomplish.
You can use aggregate functions SUM and COUNT to accomplish what you want to do. The cool thing about these functions is you can actually embed IIF statements inside of them.
I'm not sure exactly how your datasets look and are named but it would be something like this...
SUM(IIF(Fields!Type.Value = "PhyCount", 1, 0), "Active")
The sum function goes through every row of your dataset and sums the values you pass to it. The iif statement checks to see if the type field in the dataset is "PhyCount". If so, it returns 1, if not, 0. Since this will happen for every row, your SUM function will return a count of each row with status active.
edit: "Active" after the iif statement specifies the name of the dataset.
EDIT AGAIN: This solution apparently does not work in SSRS 2008.
We implemented a new system. Read-only access to the database. Writing reports for current and historical data. Using drill through report to display location and number of people there. Select the count of the location and go to details.
I query the location table to populate a parameters values. This works properly.
What I want is to ADD "Pre-Implementation" to the Parameters result set to cover the NULLS that exist because the data was before the implementation date. The phrase needs to appear in the drop-down list of locations so the user can select it. The phrase listed above needs to appears on the report. How would you do this?
What I have tried:
Have query that returns "Pre-Implementation" along with active locations for the time period. SSRS will not display as a choice in a drill through report.
I'm attempting to add a field to an SSRS report based on 2 other displayed fields.
I'm using a matrix report
Field One is a Count of Account numbers
the Second Field is an Order Amount
My Attempt
New_field=(Sum(Amount))/(Count(Account))
What is the best way to do this in SSRS. Because one cannot have Aggregate functions in SSRS.
A second and related issue is Percent increases. What would be the best way to generate Percent differences in a new column.
Notes:
1. The report is fueled using a SQL Stored Procedure.
2. Graphical Display vs tabular are acceptable
Thanks
You can simply put your formula in query and give it an ALIAS. I've also use CASE statement to catch the error when Count(Account)=0.
SELECT
CASE WHEN Count(Account)=0 THEN (Sum(Amount))/(Count(Account)) END AS New_field
FROM TableName
I have a VB active report which has many different attributes. The report contains attributes area, balance, id and status and is currently grouped my area. What I need to do now is remove all lines from the report where the balance is equal to 0 and the status equal to deactive. The information for the active report is from my database. Thus I think the best way would be to only select records where the balance is not 0 and status not equal to deactive. Is there a way I can query my database and have the active report be based off the query results? Is there an easy way to do this? Thanks for any help.
Yes, the best way to do this is to change the query so that only the minimum records you need are actually coming into the report. The Modify Data Sources at Run Time topic from the documentation shows how to modify that SQL statement in the code dynamically at runtime.
If you can hard-code the SQL query for the report you should probably just modify the SQL at design time inside the designer. This Bind Reports to a Data Source topic shows you how to do that.
You can also programatically control the visibility of fields/textboxes based on the data using the Format event of the section containing those controls (most likely Detail_Format), but it sounds to me like modifying the SQL query is your best bet.
I want to create a report where my report's fields should change according to my input parameter values.
For example, if I select 2 months, there should be 2 fields in result, having month wise calculation. If I select 3 weeks, there should be 3 fields each for each weeks calculation instead of the 2 months field.
How do I achieve this?
I'm still a beginner at SSRS, but I've heard of a few ways to handle this:
To a certain extent, you're really talking about separate queries, depending on the parameters. So, use a dynamic query (build the query up as a string expression). The simplest way I saw was to use IIF in the expression to choose one or the other stored procedure based on the parameter values.
To the extent that it's pretty much the same query, but you want different columns visible, then you can tie the visibility of the columns to an expression based on the parameter values.
If too much of the structure of the report differs based on the parameters, then you can use multiple reports. Have one front-end report that calls on one of the other reports based on the parameter values, passing the parameter values to the other report.
I hope that helps. If you've already figured out a solution, then please tell me!
