Does anyone know if it is possible to create a graph(s) at run time based on the dataset?
To clarify, I have a count of patients suffering from a health condition, split by week. I need to make a graph per condition with weeks on the X axis and patient count on the Y. Nice and easy so far.
The problem is that the number of conditions displayed in the dataset will be different depending on the values entered for the start and end dates for the reporting date range.
With this in mind can I create a single graph then tell it to replicate once for each condition returned and only look at the data for that specific condition?
The graphs can't appear in rows as they must aggregate data from multiple rows (where the condition is the same) and plot the various count values over week numbers (the dataset returns a count, a week number and a condition with a group by on the week number and condition)
As an added challenge none of this can be hard coded as the single report has to work across multiple sites.
Thanks

Yes this is possible by first dropping a "Matrix" control into the report surface. With the Matrix control, you're able to display groups of data. In this case, your group will be the condition returned in your DataSet. Each group will have an embedded chart which will display data the same way, but only the data within the grouping you choose.
Step 1: Add a Matrix control to your report surface. Create a Row Group based on Condition (In my example, Year)
Step 2: Right Click the empty column on the right side of the Matrix control, and choose the option for Insert Column > Outside Group - Right. Then Delete the middle column.
Step 3: Right click the Right columns "Data" cell (which should be outside the grouping) and choose Insert > Chart. Select the desired chart type.
Step 4: Resize the column and row to view the chart in more detail. Edit the Chart Data to aggregate what you're wanting to show as the line, and pick your category groups.
Step 5: Test, and revist whichever step above needs adjusting.

I created a pivot table in SQL that has report names along the left side, and hours (00:00, 00:01, etc.) along the top. The values in the table are the number of times each report has been used during that hour over the past three months. I've imported the table into SSRS, and I'm trying to create a heat map of sorts. I want to color the cells darker or lighter across the row based on the number in each cell compared to the value of cells across the row (cell that has the highest value will be the darkest colored).
I've tried following this guide to color the cells, but here the entire row is one field, while I have separate fields for each column. Is there a way to achieve this?
EDIT: Added picture of table design, and preview where coloring is done incorrectly
I understand your problem better now...The function uses the min and max values of a column to determine the range from lightest to darkest, then it probably looks at what fraction of the range your actual value is. In your case where you have each column's data coming from a different cell it'll be a pain unless your columns are fixed and even then it's more trouble than it needs to be.
I would suggest the following.
DON'T PIVOT your data in SQL, we can do that really easily in SSRS, your dataset will be simpler too something like
ReportName Hour UsageCount
ReportA 0 8
ReportA 1 4
ReportC 22 18
and so on...
Create a new report and add a matrix with reportName as the row group and hour as the column group. The data values will be UsageCount.
That's it for the report design, then just set the cells back ground based on your function but this time you can pass in Max(Fields!UsageCount.Value) etc as per the sample.
I've rushed this a bit so it if not clear, let me know and I'll post a clearer solution.
I want to create a calculated column that is equal to the percent of the total of the previous column, but only for the rows that are selected.
For example, the two columns below show rows where I've filtered for only the rows of interest. The sum is accurate, but I want the percent of the total to be only out of sum of the currently selected rows rather than the absolute total (which is how it's currently being calculated). I want the percent of the total to dynamically change depending on what is filtered in the data table. Is this possible?
Image of my 2 columns:
I know spotfire somehow calculates this becuase when I insert a bar graph using % of Total(SumofComponents) the ratio is only out of the current total.
Image of my bar chart:
much like in programming, Spotfire has a rough concept of scope. and unfortunately, calculated columns are above filters in terms of scope; they have no concept of what is and is not filtered.
visualizations themselves, however, do*!
what you can do in this case is to put your expression on the Y axis (it looks like you've done this), and it will respect your selected filters*.
*caveats: there are a few ways that filtering can be negated on a given visualization:
Properties>>Appearance>>Show shadows indicating the unfiltered data. this option shows a grey bar that represents the data hidden by whatever filter selection was made
Properties>>Data>>Limit data using filterings. these options allow the viz to use separate filtering sets ("Filter Schemes" as they're called in Spotfire) or none at all (to ignore filters completely)
Properties>>Subsets. by default there are three subsets: "All Data" which ignores filters, "Not in current filtering" which inverts the filter selection (e.g., if you filter a boolean column to show only TRUE, this chart would show only FALSE), and "Current filtering" which is the default behavior. you can check the online help for additional subsets that you can add.
I have a matrix table created with Rows as Days ,Columns as Months and quantity of rainfall as the data field(got all this information from same table 'Rainfall'). I have taken this data from a dataset containing multiple tables in SQL. All of this information displays properly.
Now I have many tables with date field in my dataset in tables other than 'Rainfall'.
In the data field of the matix I need to be able to add my own colors using a Switch case.
The Condition I need is "if a certain date from one table matches the date in my report then i want xxx colour."
eg: there is a table called fertilization which has 3 dates. Now if these 3 dates also exists in my matrix then that block should be colored blue.
Can anyone help me. Thanks!
You can also manage it from sql side while retrieving data from Rainfall table.
You can do this using by right clicking the field that you want the dynamic color on and selecting properties. Select Border and then where it says color hit, click the Fx button. Here you can write a custom expression that will change the background color based upon your code.
I have 4-5 tables of single and many rows per ID. I want to generate a summary table listing each ID along with various counts and max/mins, but I want to be able to filter on calculations. Example: "ID" is the identifier and there are two tables, TestA and TestB.
One desired selection criteria: Show only those IDs where at least one TestA score >5 and there is at least one TestB score.
In a straight table, this is simple to do with expressions, but the resulting table cannot be selected on the calculated true/false value.
I think I need to create a new table in the load script containing the ID, and then various conditions labeled as I wish. Then, these fields could be dimensions. This seems similar in concept to a master calendar. Am I on the right track?
If it helps to understand my example, this a medical application; the tables are lab results and other interventions that each require complex queries pulling data from various sources that are very "hard-coded" to produce a small data set from millions of rows of highly normalized source data. The desired dimensions would be combinations of the labs so as to allow identification of patients who meet certain criteria--then, once filtered, there would be many more graphs and charts to identify what tests and procedures were followed for that group of patients.
My current data model just loads many tables which then associate on ID. I had attempted to load all data into one big table using concatenates and calculations, but this did not seem to accomplish what I needed and was difficult to manage.
IIUC, I think what you want to do can be accomplished with a combination of sliders/input boxes, variables and calculated dimensions in your table. The process is definitely burdensome, but it should allow you filter the way you want.
Add a field to your table load statement in your script like rnum as RowNo().
Create a variable for your filter(s). Ex. vFilterTestAScore.
Add a slider or input box to your dashboard and point it to that variable.
a. For slider, the option is in the General tab -> Data header -> select the Variable radio button.
b. For input box, add the correct var from the list to the list of Displayed Variables.
Set sliders/input boxes to the criteria you want: vFilterTestAScore = 5 and vFilterTestBScore = 1
Create a straight table with ID as the dimension and expressions for TestAScore and TestBScore. The expression formulas would be sum(TestAScore) and sum(TestBScore) respectively (this won't make sense until the next step).
Now add a calculated dimension to you table. The idea here is that rather than just having the ID dimension, you will create a calculated dimension that only displays the ID of the records that meet the criteria you select in the slider or enter in the input box. The formula should be something like:
if(aggr(sum(TestA), rnum) >= vFilterTestAScore, ID, null()) or for multiple filters: if((aggr(sum(TestA), rnum) >= vFilterTestAScore) and (aggr(sum(TestB), rnum) >= vFilterTestBScore), ID, null()).
On your new calculated dimension, check the 'Suppress When Value is Null' box so only results that meet your criteria are displayed in your table.
To summarize, you are using the variables to store your selection criteria which you are entering via input box or slider. Then you are conditionally displaying only the ID's in your table that match those criteria via a calculated dimension and 'Suppress When Null' option.

I have a list named Employee Dates, this list contains the columns:
Employee | CPR Completed | CPR Required | ETC
These columns keep going on for all of the training courses required for our employees with alternating columns for completed and required dates. I am using a workflow to calculate all of the required dates of training from the completed dates.
What I desire to do is make another list that will look at ALL of the columns for the required dates and find the soonest ones and populate that list with the soonest dates and from which column it was pulled from.
Any help as to how to approach this? I have been trying to use queries in Access and also some of the custom view settings in SharePoint Designer but no luck so far.
You could try an Excel table (they also have these functions in access if I recall, but I avoid access like a plague). To connect Excel to share point follow the steps in this article:
support.office.com
Ok, now that we are connected you should see all of the columns and values in excel. Next up we need to find the min date (easy) and then get the associated column name (a little harder).
Min Date: The formula should be something along the lines of =min(B1,B3,B5), jut type in =Min( and then CTRL-click on the columns you want to consider for the row. When your done close with ). After wards double click on the square in the bottom right corner and it will do the same logic for all of the rows.
Column Name: A little more difficult, use the min value from the prior column as the lookup value for VlookUp to get the column name. After wards double click on the square in the bottom right corner and it will do the same logic for all of the rows. I'd explain VlookUp, but I'd run out of characters and attention span long before I got to the relevant parts, and excel functions does a fine job of getting you the basics.
Anyway hope that helps,
