It is straight forward to create a calculated field in a table that uses data IN the table... due to the fact that the expression builder is straight forward to use. However, it appears to me that the expression builder for the calculated field only works with data IN the table;
i.e: expression builder in table MYTABLE works with fields FIELD1.MYTABLE, FIELD2.MYTABLE etc.
Inventory Problem
My problem is that I have two 'count' fields that result from my queries that apply to INPUTQUERY and OUTPUTQUERY (gives me a count of all input data added and a count of all output data added) and now I want to subtract the two to get a stock.
I can't link the table that was created from my query because it wont be able to continually update do the relationship itself, and thus i'm stuck either using the expression builder/SQL.
First question:
Is it possible to have the expression builder reference data from other tables?
i.e expressionbuilder for:
MAINTABLE CALCULATEDFIELD.MAINTABLE = INPUTSUM.INPUTTABLE - OUTPUTSUM.OUTPUTTABLE
(which gives a difference of the two)?
Second question:
if the above isn't possible, can I do this through an SQL code ?
i.e
SELECT(data from INPUTSUM)
FROM(INPUTTABLE)
-
SELECT(data from OUTPUTSUM)
FROM(OUTPUTTABLE)
Try this:
SELECT SUM(T.INPUTSUM) - SUM(T.OUTPUTSUM) AS RESULTSUM
FROM
(
SELECT INPUTSUM, 0 AS OUTPUTSUM
FROM INPUTTABLE
UNION
SELECT 0 AS INPUTSUM, OUTPUTSUM
FROM OUTPUTTABLE
) AS T

I've built a SSRS report using a SQL query for the Dataset1. I'm trying to build a parameter that gives the users a dropdown list. I ended up creating a Dataset2 to get distinct values for the parameter Label and then use Dataset1 for the actual value (allowing for multiple values).
EDITING PER Request:
Dataset1 query:
SELECT vu_SOPWork_HistoryUnion.Type
,vu_SOPWork_HistoryUnion.SOPTYPE
,vu_SOPWork_HistoryUnion.SOPNUMBE
,vu_SOPWork_HistoryUnion.Date_Document
,vu_SOPWork_HistoryUnion.ExtendedPrice
,IV00101.ITEMNMBR
,IV00101.USCATVLS_2 AS Family
,IV00101.USCATVLS_3 AS Product
,vu_SOPWork_HistoryUnion.VoidStatus
,RM00101.CUSTCLAS
,GL00100.MNACSGMT
,vu_SOPWork_HistoryUnion.BillTo_CustNum
,vu_SOPWork_HistoryUnion.BillTo_CustName
,vu_SOPWork_HistoryUnion.sales_territory
,vu_SOPWork_HistoryUnion.ITEMDESC
FROM (
(
test.dbo.vu_SOPWork_HistoryUnion vu_SOPWork_HistoryUnion INNER JOIN test.dbo.IV00101 IV00101 ON vu_SOPWork_HistoryUnion.ITEMNMBR = IV00101.ITEMNMBR
) INNER JOIN test.dbo.RM00101 RM00101 ON vu_SOPWork_HistoryUnion.BillTo_CustNum = RM00101.CUSTNMBR
)
INNER JOIN test.dbo.GL00100 GL00100 ON IV00101.IVSLSIDX = GL00100.ACTINDX
Dataset2 Query:
SELECT DISTINCT IV00101.USCATVLS_2 AS FamilyNames
FROM test.dbo.IV00101
I would like to use the Dataset2 "FamilyNames" as the label options against Dataset1 "Family" values. Dataset2 gets the distinct values that I want to put in the drop down for the user to choose and then receive all rows that has that value in Dataset1 "Family". I'm an expert on not giving enough information. Hope this helps you help me. Thanks.
OK, do the following..
Create DataSet1 with the query as you have it now but append the following to the end of the query
WHERE USCATVLS_2 IN(#Family)
When you do this, the #Family parameter will be created automatically in your report, we'll get back to this later.
Create another dataset called Dataset2 (or a more sensible name like 'families' in this case) with the following simple query.
SELECT DISTINCT USCATVLS_2 FROM test.dbo.IV00101 ORDER BY USCATVLS_2
Edit the #Family parameter:
Set it to multi-value
Change the available values to be a query
Select your 2nd dataset as the datasource
Choose USCATVLS_2 as both the labels and values.
Create your report as normal with the tablix/matrix based on Dataset1.
Notes:
A few other things you might want to consider, but not required.
If a list of family names with some kind of ID is available in your database then I suggest you use that for your parameter list, you would also then have to edit the query in dataset1 to match. Remember that the parameter will contain whatever is in the column of the query that you chose as the value column in the dataset that populates the parameter list
Consider using aliases for table names in your queries rather than the full table names all the time, it makes the code more concise and easier to read.
Name your datasets according to what they contain or do, e.g. I would call Dataset2 'Families' or something similar as that is what it contains. When your reports get more complex it will make them easier to understand.
I need a Report where a user has to choose 2 parameters. The first parameter contains the years (2017, 2016...), and the second one contains the ID process. Depending on the process that the user chooses, the SQL statement will be one or another. The parameter year is part of the WHERE clause of the SQL contained in the second parameter.
So I have this report with 2 parameters (param_year, Indicador). Query parameter is done using a table datasource, where the IDs column contains the SQL sentences and the Values column contains the text the user must select.
So what I'm doing next is to set ${Indicador} as the SQL statement in the JDBC connection that I have done to the Database. This is reporting me an SQL error
"Failed at query: ${Indicador}.
Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Another option is to create multiple datasources in your Master/sub report, then select appropriate datasource using PRD expression on Master/sub Report -> Attributes -> query -> name attribute.
More detailed explanation:
Create a query (I mean a query as a PRD object, which uses the PRD datasource) for every SQL string you need and move the SQL strings from the parameter table into Report Designer queries definitions.
Replace the SQL strings in your parameter table with names of corresponding queries, e.g:
Use the value of your parameter (which should be equal to the PRD query name) as value for Master/sub Report -> Attributes -> query -> name attribute:
You need Pentaho Data Integration to do this kind of dynamic query
If the table structure (output columns) for both queries is the same, you could put them together into one big SQL statement with UNION ALL and put in each query "WHERE ${Indicador} = ValueToRunThisQuery".
The optimizer should be smart enough to know the not-selected subquery is going to return zero rows and not even run it. You can supply a few null columns if one query has fewer columns, but the data types have to be the same for filled columns.
If the output table structure is different between the two queries they should be in different data sources, or even reports.
SELECT ID, BLA, BLA, BLA, ONLY_IN_A
FROM TABLE A
WHERE ${Indicador} = "S010"
UNION ALL
SELECT ID, BLA, BLA, BLA, NULL
FROM TABLE B
WHERE ${Indicador} = "S020"
I am using Pentaho Spoon to do some transformation. I am using 'Table Input' and joining multiple tables to get final output table.
I need to achieve:
SELECT COUNT(distinct ID)
FROM TBLA join TBLB ON TBLA.ID=TBLB.ID
WHERE
TBLA.ID=334
AND TBLA.date = '2013-1-9'
AND TBLB.date BETWEEN '2012-11-15' AND '2013-1-9';
I am manually inserting '2012-11-15' but I am using Get System Data to insert '2012-1-9'. I am using 1 Get System Data.
My query is:
SELECT COUNT(distinct ID)
FROM TBLA join TBLB ON TBLA.ID=TBLB.ID
WHERE
TBLA.ID=334
AND TBLA.date='?'
AND TBLB.date BETWEEN '2012-11-15' AND '?';
I get error message in Table Input saying No value specified for parameter 2
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
Thank you.
Simple one this; You need to "duplicate" the system date. So add another line in "get system data" called "date2" or something, make it the same as the first line, and then it will fill in the 2nd parameter or ?
OR simply change the query to say between '2012-11-15' and TBLA.date
then you dont need the 2nd parameter
Personally I prefer the pattern of a Get System Info/Add Constants step to create one row with multiple columns that feeds into a Database Join step. Then you replace parameters in your query with columns instead of rows, and you can specify a column more than once.
I have these queries:
SELECT *
FROM dbo.GRAUD_ProjectsByCostCategory
select right(CostCategoryId,14) as CostBreak
from dbo.GRAUD_ProjectsByCostCategory
They work well in that they give me the correct data, but I would like to know how to combine the new column CostBreak into the table of results rather than as a separate query result.
An example of the results I get are as below:
Where I want them in the same table
The data is coming from the same table so you should be able to just add that value to your initial query. You do not even have to perform a join to get it:
SELECT name,
description,
project,
CostCategoryId,
right(CostCategoryId,14) as CostBreak
FROM dbo.GRAUD_ProjectsByCostCategory
I am currently writing a VBA-based Excel add-in that's heavily based on a Jet database backend (I use the Office 2003 suite -- the problem would be the same with a more recent version of Office anyway).
During the initialization of my app, I create stored procedures that are defined in a text file. Those procedures are called by my app when needed.
Let me take a simple example to describe my issue: suppose that my app allows end-users to select the identifiers of orders for which they'd like details. Here's the table definition:
Table tblOrders: OrderID LONG, OrderDate DATE, (other fields)
The end-user may select one or more OrderIDs, displayed in a form - s/he just has to tick the checkbox of the relevant OrderIDs for which s/he'd like details (OrderDate, etc).
Because I don't know in advance how many OrderID s/he will select, I could dynamically create the SQL query in the VBA code by cascading WHERE clauses based on the choices made on the form:
SELECT * FROM tblOrders WHERE OrderID = 1 OR OrderID = 2 OR OrderID = 3
or, much simpler, by using the IN keyword:
SELECT * FROM tblOrders WHERE OrderID IN (1,2,3)
Now if I turn this simple query into a stored procedure so that I can dynamically pass list of OrderIDs I want to be displayed, how should I do? I already tried things like:
CREATE PROCEDURE spTest (#OrderList varchar) AS
SELECT * FROM tblOrders WHERE OrderID IN (#OrderList)
But this does not work (I was expecting that), because #OrderList is interpreted as a string (e.g. "1,2,3") and not as a list of long values. (I adapted from code found here: Passing a list/array to SQL Server stored procedure)
I'd like to avoid dealing with this issue via pure VBA code (i.e. dynamically assigning list of values to a query that is hardcoded in my application) as much as possible. I'd understand if ever this is not possible.
Any clue?
You can create the query-statement string dynamically. In SQL Server you can have a function whose return value is a TABLE, and invoke that function inline as if it were a table. Or in JET you could also create a kludge -- a temporary table (or persistent table that serves the function of a temporary table) that contains the values in your in-list, one per row, and join on that table. The query would thus be a two-step process: 1) populate temp table with INLIST values, then 2) execute the query joining on the temp table.
MYTEMPTABLE
autoincrementing id
QueryID [some value to identify the current query, perhaps a GUID]
myvalue one of the values in your in-list, string
select * from foo
inner join MYTEMPTABLE on foo.column = MYTEMPTABLE.myvalue and MYTEMPTABLE.QueryId = ?
[cannot recall if JET allows ANDs in INNER JOIN as SQL Server does --
if not, adjust syntax accordingly]
instead of
select * from foo where foo.column IN (... )
In this way you could have the same table handle multiple queries concurrently, because each query would have a unique identifier. You could delete the in-list rows after you're finished with them:
DELETE FROM MYTEMPTABLE where QueryID = ?
P.S. There would be several ways of handling data type issues for the join. You could cast the string value in MYTEMPTABLE as required, or you could have multiple columns in MYTEMPTABLE of varying datatypes, inserting into and joining on the correct column:
MYTEMPTABLE
id
queryid
mytextvalue
myintvalue
mymoneyvalue
etc
