I have a matrix in ssrs2008 like below:
GroupName Zone CompletedVolume
Cancer 1 7
Tunnel 1 10
Surgery 1 64
ComplatedVolume value is coming by a specific expression <<expr>>, which is equal to: [Max(CVolume)]
This matrix is filled by a stored procedure that I am not supposed to change if possible. What I need to do is that not to show the data whose CompletedVolume is <= 50. I tried to go to tablix properties and add a filter like [Max(Q9Volume)] >= 50, but when I try to run the report it says that aggregate functions cannot be used in dataset filters or data region filters. How can I fix this as easy as possible?
Note that adding a where clause in sql query would not solve this issue since there are many other tables use the same SP and they need the data where CompletedVolume <= 50. Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: I am trying to have the max(Q9Volume) value on SP, but something happening I have never seen before. The query is like:
Select r.* from (select * from results1 union select * from results2) r
left outer join procedures p on r.pid = p.id
The interesting this is there are some columns I see that does not included by neither results1/results2 nor procedures tables when I run the query. For example, there is no column like Q9Volume in the tables (result1, result2 and procedures), however when I run the query I see the columns on the output! How is that possible?
You can set the Row hidden property to True when [Max(CVolume)] is less or equal than 50.
Select the row and go to Row Visibility
Select Show or Hide based on an expression option and use this expression:
=IIF(
Max(Fields!Q9Volume.Value)<=50,
True,False
)
It will show something like this:
Note maximum value for Cancer and Tunnel are 7 and 10 respectively, so
they will be hidden if you apply the above expression.
Let me know if this helps.

Background
I am building an Access 2010 database that has a table [ControllerAdjustments] that keeps track of all adjustments made to controllers with an [AdjustmentID] autonumber field, a [ControllerID] field, an [AdjustmentDate] field, [Setpoint] field, and a [Power] field. The [Power] field represents the power level when the adjustment was made. Ultimately I need two queries to return two sets of results, one query should return the current status of all controllers (basically the most recent adjustment made on each controller) and the other should return the most recent adjustment made on each controller where power level is 100%. I plan to use each of these queries to feed a report. Note: field names changed slightly for convenience when typing, full names given in the code blocks...
Method
I focused on the Current Query first, and figured I would just copy it and make necessary changes to create a 100% Query. I started with a totals query on the [ControllerAdjustments] table, that had [ControllerID] as a Group By field and [AdjustmentDate] as a field that returned the Max value. This query returns exactly the number of records I expected, and after reviewing the sample bogus data I put in the table to check it, it seems to return exactly the records I need. I then created a Select Query that returned all the fields I want in my Current Report, namely the [ControllerAdjustments] table and the related records in upstream related tables. I then set the criteria for the [ControllerID] field in my Select Query to equal [Total_CurrentContAdjs]![ControllerID] and the [AdjustmentDate] in the Select Query to [Total_CurrentContAdjs]![MaxOfAdjustmentDate]. Running this query returns exactly what I want. The SQL for this query is below:
SELECT List_Units.UnitID, List_EDTanks.TankNameShort, List_Controllers.ControllerType, ControllerAdjustments.AdjustmentDate, ControllerAdjustments.ControllerSetpoint, ControllerAdjustments.RxPower
FROM Total_ContAdjsCurrent, ((List_Units INNER JOIN List_EDTanks ON List_Units.UnitID = List_EDTanks.UnitID) INNER JOIN List_Controllers ON List_EDTanks.EDTankID = List_Controllers.EDTankID) INNER JOIN ControllerAdjustments ON List_Controllers.ControllerID = ControllerAdjustments.ControllerID
WHERE (((ControllerAdjustments.AdjustmentDate)=[Total_ContAdjsCurrent]![MaxOfAdjustmentDate]) AND ((ControllerAdjustments.ControllerID)=[Total_ContAdjsCurrent]![ControllerID]))
ORDER BY List_Units.Unit, List_EDTanks.TankSortOrder, List_Controllers.ControllerType DESC;
I then copied the Totals query and added a column for Power, selected Where, unchecked show, and put in 100 for criteria. This works as expected. I then copied my select query, and changed the criteria fields to direct to my new 100% Totals query. This is where my problems begin.
Problem
The second 100% Query does not seem to like the criteria, as it initially throws out the familiar parameter window. This is the SQL Statement for the second query, virtually the same except for referring to the 100% Totals query:
SELECT List_Units.UnitID, List_EDTanks.TankNameShort, List_Controllers.ControllerType, ControllerAdjustments.AdjustmentDate, ControllerAdjustments.ControllerSetpoint, ControllerAdjustments.RxPower
FROM Total_ContAdjsCurrent, Total_ContAdjsStdyState, ((List_Units INNER JOIN List_EDTanks ON List_Units.UnitID = List_EDTanks.UnitID) INNER JOIN List_Controllers ON List_EDTanks.EDTankID = List_Controllers.EDTankID) INNER JOIN ControllerAdjustments ON List_Controllers.ControllerID = ControllerAdjustments.ControllerID
WHERE (((ControllerAdjustments.AdjustmentDate)=[Total_ContAdjsStdyState]![MaxOfAdjustmentDate]) AND ((ControllerAdjustments.ControllerID)=[Total_ContAdjsStdyState]![ControllerID]))
ORDER BY List_Units.Unit, List_EDTanks.TankSortOrder, List_Controllers.ControllerType DESC;
Initially, Access did not add my Totals query into the show table box in design view, because its results were not directly used in the Select Query. So, I added the Totals query to the top, and that allowed my query to run without asking for parameters, but now it returns the number of results I was expecting squared. Basically if I am expecting 3 records: 1, 2, and 3, it is giving me: 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, and 3. For the life of me I cannot figure out why it is doing this, especially because the exact same setup for my Current Query returns exactly what is expected... I thought maybe the where clause in my totals query had something to do with it, so I created a Select Query for the [ControllerAdjustments] table that returned all records with 100 for power. I then used this query for my totals query instead of the totals query itself, but this did not do anything different. I am at a loss, and not sure what else I can do to get the results I want. Any suggestions welcome, thank you!
I solved this by simply starting over from scratch and rebuilding my 100% query. Reviewing the SQL statements, they look identical, however for some reason my query now returns the right number of records. I have no idea why this worked, and am still curious what went wrong in the first place if anyone with time available cares to dig into it, but the original problem statement has been corrected--even if I have no idea how I did it haha...
How to write this expression in PowerBI
select distinct([date]),Temperature from Device47A8F where Temperature>25
Totally new to PowerBI. Is there any tool that can change the query from sql to PowerBI expression?
I have tried so many type of different type of expressions but getting error, Most of the time I am getting this:
The expression refers to multiple columns. Multiple columns cannot be converted to a scalar value.
Need help, Thanks.
After I posted my answer, wondered if your expected result is get only one date by temperature, In other words, without repeated dates in your result set.
A side note: select distinct([date]),Temperature from Device47A8F where Temperature>25 returns repeated dates since DISTINCT keyword evaluate distinct columns values specified in the SELECT statement, it doesn't return distinct values in a specific column even if you surround it with parenthesis.
Now what brings us here. What I can see in your error is that you are trying to use a table-valued (produces a table with multiple columns) expression in a measure which only accepts scalar-valued (calculate only one value).
Supposing you have a table like this:
Running your SQL query you will get the highlighted in yellow rows:
You can see 01/09/2016 date is repeated. If you want to create a measure you have to define what calculation you want to show for temperature. i.e, average, max or min etc.
In the below expression is being calculated the maximum temperature greater than 25 per date:
MaxTempGreaterThan25 =
CALCULATE ( MAX ( Device47A8F[Temperature] ), Device47A8F[Temperature] > 25 )
In this case the measure MaxTempGreaterThan25 is calculated per date.
If you don't want to produce a measure but a table. In the Power BI Tool bar select Modeling tab and click New Table icon.
Use this expression:
MyTemperatureTable =
FILTER ( Device47A8F, Device47A8F[Temperature] > 25 )
It should produce a new table named MyTemperatureTable like this:
I recommend you learn some basics about DAX, it is pretty different from SQL / T-SQL and there are things you can't do depending on your model and data.
Let me know if this helps.
You probably don't need to write any code if your objective is to show the result in a Power BI visual e.g. a table. Power BI naturally aggregates data if the datatype is numeric (e.g. Temperature).
I would just add a Table visual on a Report page and add the Date and Temperature columns to it. Then in Visualizations / Fields / Values I would click the little down-arrow on the Temperature field and set the Aggregation e.g. Maximum. Then in Visualizations / Fields / Filters I would click the little down-arrow on the Temperature field and set the Filter e.g. is greater than: 25
Hard-coded solutions are unlikely to survive the next question from your users e.g. "but what if I want to see Temperature > 24? Or 20? Or 30?"
I am trying to run a query that calculate with a countif function but I am having trouble with it. I have used the count and the iif functions in the builder but I think something weird is going on. I am trying to count the number of times a certain value occurs in a column so I do not want a specific value to equal to if that's possible?
Thanks!
To count the number of times a value appears you can use something like.
If you want to know how many times each value appears just omit the WHERE clause (without a sample of data I've used a table in the database I'm working on).
SELECT ProcessID,
COUNT(ProcessID)
FROM tbl_PrimaryData_Step1
WHERE ProcessID = 4
GROUP BY ProcessID
if you need just the value you can use:
SELECT COUNT(ProcessID)
FROM tbl_PrimaryData_Step1
WHERE ProcessID = 4
GROUP BY ProcessID
Another way is:
SELECT DCOUNT("ProcessID","tbl_PrimaryData_Step1","ProcessID = 4")
Edit:
In reply to your comment on your original post this SQL will give the result you're after:
SELECT Concatenate,
COUNT(Concatenate)
FROM MyTable
GROUP BY Concatenate
I am using SQL server 2005, querying with Web Developer 2010, and the min function appears to be returning more than one value (for each ID returned, see below). Ideally I would like it to just return the one for each ID.
SELECT Production.WorksOrderOperations.WorksOrderNumber,
MIN(Production.WorksOrderOperations.OperationNumber) AS Expr1,
Production.Resources.ResourceCode,
Production.Resources.ResourceDescription,
Production.WorksOrderExcel_ExcelExport_View.PartNumber,
Production.WorksOrderOperations.PlannedQuantity,
Production.WorksOrderOperations.PlannedSetTime,
Production.WorksOrderOperations.PlannedRunTime
FROM Production.WorksOrderOperations
INNER JOIN Production.Resources
ON Production.WorksOrderOperations.ResourceID = Production.Resources.ResourceID
INNER JOIN Production.WorksOrderExcel_ExcelExport_View
ON Production.WorksOrderOperations.WorksOrderNumber = Production.WorksOrderExcel_ExcelExport_View.WorksOrderNumber
WHERE Production.WorksOrderOperations.WorksOrderNumber IN
( SELECT WorksOrderNumber
FROM Production.WorksOrderExcel_ExcelExport_View AS WorksOrderExcel_ExcelExport_View_1
WHERE (WorksOrderSuffixStatus = 'Proposed'))
AND Production.Resources.ResourceCode IN ('1303', '1604')
GROUP BY Production.WorksOrderOperations.WorksOrderNumber,
Production.Resources.ResourceCode,
Production.Resources.ResourceDescription,
Production.WorksOrderExcel_ExcelExport_View.PartNumber,
Production.WorksOrderOperations.PlannedQuantity,
Production.WorksOrderOperations.PlannedSetTime,
Production.WorksOrderOperations.PlannedRunTime
If you can get your head around it, I am selecting certain columns from multiple tables where the WorksOrderNumber is also contained within a subquery, and numerous other conditions.
Result set looks a little like this, have blurred out irrelevant data.
http://i.stack.imgur.com/5UFIp.png (Wouldn't let me embed image).
The highlighted rows are NOT supposed to be there, I cannot explicitly filter them out, as this result set will be updated daily and it is likely to happen with a different record.
I have tried casting and converting the OperationNumber to numerous other data types, varchar type returns '100' instead of the '30'. Also tried searching search engines, no one seems to have the same problem.
I did not structure the tables (they're horribly normalised), and it is not possible to restructure them.
Any ideas appreciated, many thanks.
The MIN function returns the minimum within the group.
If you want the minimum for each ID you need to get group on just ID.
I assume that by "ID" you are referring to Production.WorksOrderOperations.WorksOrderNumber.
You can add this as a "table" in your SQL:
(SELECT Production.WorksOrderOperations.WorksOrderNumber,
MIN(Production.WorksOrderOperations.OperationNumber)
FROM Production.WorksOrderOperations
GROUP BY Production.WorksOrderOperations.WorksOrderNumber)
I am writing reports using Report Builder 3, and I need some help with an sql query to get unique values.
Using the following sample data:
I need to be able to get one single value for feeBudRec returned for each feeRef. The value of each feeBudRec is always the same for each individual feeRef (eg for every data row for feeRef LR01 will have a feeBudRec of 1177).
The reason why I need to get a single feeBudRec value for each feeRef is that I need to be able to total the feeBudRec value for each feeRef in a feePin (eg for feePin LEE, I need to total the feeBudRec values for LR01 and PS01, which should be 1177 + 1957 to get a total of 3134; but if I don't have unique values for feeBudRec, it will add the values for each row, which would bring back a total of 11756 for the 8 LEE rows).
My experience with writing SQL queries is very limited, but from searching the internet, it looks like I'll need to put in a subquery into my SQL query in order to get a single unique feeBudRec figure for each feeRef, and that a subquery that gets a minimum feeBudRec value for each feeRef should work for me.
Based on examples I've found, I think the following subquery should work:
SELECT a.feeRef, a.feeBudRec
FROM (
SELECT uvw_EarnerInfo.feeRef, Min(uvw_EarnerInfo.feeBudRec) as AvailableTime
FROM uvw_EarnerInfo
GROUP BY
uvw_EarnerInfo.feeRef
) as x INNER JOIN uvw_EarnerInfo as a ON a.feeRef = x.feeRef AND a.feeBudRec = x.AvailableTime;
The problem is that I have no idea how to insert that subquery into the query I'm using to produce the report (as follows):
SELECT
uvw_EarnerInfo.feeRef
,uvw_EarnerInfo.PersonName
,uvw_EarnerInfo.PersonSurname
,uvw_EarnerInfo.feePin
,uvw_RB_TimeLedger.TimeDate
,uvw_RB_TimeLedger.matRef
,uvw_RB_TimeLedger.TimeTypeCode
,uvw_RB_TimeLedger.TimeCharge
,uvw_RB_TimeLedger.TimeElapsed
,uvw_WoffTimeByTime.WoffMins
,uvw_WoffTimeByTime.WoffCharge
,uvw_EarnerInfo.feeBudRec
,uvw_EarnerInfo.personOccupation
FROM
uvw_RB_TimeLedger
LEFT OUTER JOIN uvw_WoffTimeByTime
ON uvw_RB_TimeLedger.TimeId = uvw_WoffTimeByTime.TimeId
RIGHT OUTER JOIN uvw_EarnerInfo
ON uvw_EarnerInfo.feeRef = uvw_RB_TimeLedger.feeRef
WHERE
uvw_RB_TimeLedger.TimeDate >= #TimeDate
AND uvw_RB_TimeLedger.TimeDate <= #TimeDate2
If that subquery will get the correct results, can anyone please help me with inserting it into my report query. Otherwise, can anyone let me know what I will need to do to get a unique feeBudRec value for each feeRef?
Depends on the exact schema, but assuming the uvw_EarnerInfo lists the Pin, Ref, and Rec without duplicates, try adding an extra column (after personOccupation) on the end of your query such as :
feeBudRecSum = (Select SUM(FeeBudRec) From uvw_EarnerInfo x
where x.feePin = uvw_EarnerInfo.feePin
Group By x.FeePin)
Note that you would not Sum these values in your report. This column should have the total you are looking for.
The key to Report Builder is to get your query correct from the offset and let the wizard then structure your report for you. It takes all the hard work out of structuring your report manually.
I haven't used Report Builder for a while now but in the query builder of the report displaying the graphical representation of your query you should be able to drag and drop columns in and out of the query set. Dragging a column upwards and out of the box (showing your columns) would have the effect of causing your report to break on this column.
If you restructure this way you will probably have to run the report generator again to regenerate the report and restructure it.
Once you are happy with the structure you can then begin to add the summary columns.
