I am trying to write IIF statement in SSRS 2008 experssions but can run only one part at a time... the other part gives error... here is what am writing..
=IIF(Parameters!Month.Value = 1, " "& CStr(MonthName(Parameters!Month.Value +11)) &" " , "ABC")
When ever i run this and value of Month parameter = 1 then it runs fine but when value <> 1 then it gives #Error... The false part is not executing... I think some thing wrong with double quotes...
Even if i change positions of true and false sets...result is same... If i simply write like..
=IIF(Parameters!Month.Value = 1, "CDE" , "ABC")
then it all runs fine...
Please help...
Looks like an assumptive mismatch of metadata. Even though you are calling out CStr() it could be something on that front. Trying wrapping the false statement in CStr() as well as dropping the " " & and & " " and see what happens. That's where I'd start.
Resolved it.....
=IIF(Parameters!Month.Value = 1,
MonthName((((Parameters!Month.Value-1)+11) Mod 12 )+ 1) + "-" + CStr(Parameters!Year.Value - 1),
MonthName((((Parameters!Month.Value-1)+11) Mod 12 ) + 1) + " - " + Parameters!Year.Value)
There is no issue with the Quotes.
Months are only between 1 to 12. Based on your equation Parameters!Month.Value can only be from -10 to 1.
If you supply any value greater than 1 or less than -10 or any decimal values you expression will error out. You need to check all the values you are passing in Parameters!Month.Value or change your expression.

I am trying to identify e-mails dynamically based on the current date.
I am having troubles putting the variable inside the statement:
Below on line 2 I try to concatenate PRDatafromProvider text with date which I set earlier. Perhaps the syntax is wrong. I set the date variable correctly and it logs fine.
ctx.outlook.mail.search({
filter : "\"" + "urn:schemas:httpmail:subject" + "\"" + "= 'PRDatafromProvider'" + date + " AND
" + "\"" + "urn:schemas:httpmail:read" + "\"" + "= 0",
//"urn:schemas:httpmail:date" + "\"" + "= '20200610'",
maxRow : 10,
dontThrowExceptionIfNoMailFound: true
});
Another question is the 4th line above, I comment it out because the code works fine without it but when I put that line back it will not executed and break the search method. This is why I am trying to put it in subject so that I can somehow go around it...
I am usually active online: if I missed any details, I can provide them quickly.
I am creating a simple report in SSRS
One of the fields is an address, which has this expression value
=First(Fields!BILL_CITY.Value) & ", " & Fields!BILL_PROV.Value & " " & Fields!BILL_ZIP.Value
What I want to do, is within that expression within SSRS, I want to add a condition.
If the Fields!BILL_ZIP.Value is only 5 digits, do nothing.
If the value is more than 5 digits, add a dash after the fifth digit.
So if customer sends the shorthand version of the zipcode it will appear as
45040 but if he sends the long version, it will be 45040-8999
Does anybody know how to do this? Creating the condition probably wouldn't be too hard, but how do I put it within the SSRS expression format?
Try:
= IIF(LENGTH(Fields!BILL_ZIP.Value) = 5, Fields!BILL_ZIP.Value & "-", Fields!BILL_ZIP.Value)
I have to write again this problem. I am not an expert in SSRS.
I have been trying to resolve this issue. Even though the fields are all the same datatype am still getting error and incorrect time difference in the filed in some fields.
I do not know what am doing wrong. This is the code. Please find below screen shot also.
enter code =Datediff(DateInterval.Minute, Fields!health_start_date.Value, Lookup(Fields!flight_date.Value & Fields!register_number.Value & DATEPART(DateInterval.Hour,Fields!health_start_date.Value) , Fields!FL_DATE.Value & Fields!REG.Value & DatePart(DateInterval.Hour, Fields!ATD.Value), Fields!ATD.Value, "DataSetAIMS") ) MOD 60 & " mins "
here
The scenario is that the two fields Health start date and ATD have two different dataset which shows time of flight differently but the time difference is always in minutes. What am trying to do is to compare the two table with their hour and date using lookup to find difference in minutes
Okay, I think I see the problem: you're really close and this stuff trips us all up on occasion. In the LOOKUP function, I think you are joining the two data sets based on:
flight_date = FL_DATE, and
register_number = REG, and
HOUR(health_start_date) = HOUR(ATD)
Which is fine, but the ampersand (&) just "concatenates" strings together, and (a) your strings don't actually match, and (b) HOUR is a number, not a string.
(a) The "date" in the first data set is DDMMYYYY, and in the 2nd it is DDMMYY. I.e., "05222018" is not the same as "052818", so your lookup will not work. It's possible that they are stored correctly as date fields in the database and so the comparison will work fine, but better to force them to match. For that I'd recommend formatting each of the date strings into a standard format, like "FormatDateTime(Fields!flight_date.Value, DateFormat.VBShortDate)".
(b) Should be easy, just add ".ToString" after the parentheses, like "DATEPART(DateInterval.Hour,Fields!health_start_date.Value).ToString()".
(c) I'm assuming the register_number and REG are formatted the same.
Given all that, your new LOOKUP function might look something like this:
=Datediff(DateInterval.Minute,
Fields!health_start_date.Value,
Lookup(
FormatDateTime(Fields!flight_date.Value, DateFormat.VBShortDate) & Fields!register_number.Value & DATEPART(DateInterval.Hour,Fields!health_start_date.Value).ToString() ,
FormatDateTime(Fields!FL_DATE.Value, DateFormat.VBShortDate) & Fields!REG.Value & DatePart(DateInterval.Hour, Fields!ATD.Value).ToString()
, Fields!ATD.Value
, "DataSetAIMS")
).ToString() & " minutes"
However, I think you'd make your life easier by just doing that sort of calculation in the database layer, in the report query, something like:
SELECT
d1.FlightDate
, d1.RegisterNumber
, d1.HealthStartDate
, d2.ATD
, DiffInMinutes = DATEDIFF(MINUTE, d1.HealthStartDate, d2.ATD)
FROM DataSet1 d1
JOIN DataSetAIMS d2
ON CAST(d1.FlightDate AS DATE) = CAST(d2.FL_DATE AS DATE)
AND d1.register_number = d2.REG
AND DATEPART(HOUR, d1.health_start_date) = DATEPART(HOUR, d2.ATD)
This code certainly isn't exact, but hopefully it will get you pointed in the right direction!
Thanks Russel. I have accepted your answer. What I did was to remove the formatdate from the expression code and modify the query design code to convert to the same time date : the code below
=Datediff(DateInterval.Minute, Fields!health_start_date.Value, Lookup(Fields!register_number.Value & DATEPART(DateInterval.Hour,Fields!health_start_date.Value).ToString() , Fields!REG.Value & DatePart(DateInterval.Hour, Fields!ATD.Value).ToString(), Fields!ATD.Value, "DataSetAIMS") ).ToString() MOD 60 & " mins "
or the below as well works :
=Datediff(DateInterval.Minute,
Fields!health_start_date.Value,
Lookup(
Format(Fields!flight_date.Value, "ddMMyy") & Fields!register_number.Value & DATEPART(DateInterval.Hour,Fields!health_start_date.Value).ToString() ,
Format(Fields!FL_DATE.Value, "ddMMyy") & Fields!REG.Value & DatePart(DateInterval.Hour,Fields!ATD.Value).ToString()
, Fields!ATD.Value
, "DataSetAIMS")
).ToString() MOD 60 & " minutes
First time using Access and wanted to make an update query that uses a variable for its table name. Now, I've gotten myself into a web of nothing good. When I get to the part the SQL code is needed for, I get Runtime error 3075 - Missing operator in '(((" + enteredid + ".todayDate)=Format(Now()','""Short Date"")))' I've never coded in SQL, so I have no clue what operators are needed.
My code:
strSQL = "UPDATE " + enteredid + " SET " + enteredid + ".signIn = Format(Now(),""Short Time"") WHERE (((" + enteredid + ".todayDate)=Format(Now()','""Short Date"")));"
My suggestions:
You can avoid the whole Format() issue in the WHERE clause by using the Date() function instead of trying to extract just the date part of Now().
Since you are doing an UPDATE on a single table you can just use the field (column) names without the TableName. prefix.
To make your code more robust, enclose the table name in square brackets so it won't crash if the table name contains spaces or other "funny" characters.
So, the revised code would look more like this:
strSQL = _
"UPDATE [" + enteredid + "] SET " + _
"signIn = Format(Now(),""Short Time"") " + _
"WHERE todayDate = Date()"
Haven't come across this in ages and when I searched for the solution I couldn't find one. I think its called overloading in SQL. Basically when I have "" (an empty string) for any parameter in this SQL I don't want to set a value in the database...
NOTE: I want to do it at a SQL level not do it at a C# level because its sloppy that way.
string Sql = "IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM tbl_FileSystemReferences) "
+ "INSERT INTO tbl_FileSystemReferences (UploadDir) VALUES (null) "
+ "UPDATE tbl_FileSystemReferences SET "
+ "UploadDir=#UploadDir, "
+ "ThumbnailDir=#ThumbnailDir, "
+ "ArchiveDir=#ArchiveDir, "
+ "RealDir=#RealDir, "
+ "FlashDir=#FlashDir, "
+ "AssociatedFilesDir=#AssociatedFilesDir, "
+ "EnableArchiving=#EnableArchiving, "
+ "AppWideDir=#AppWideDir, "
+ "FFmpegDir=#FFmpegDir, "
+ "InstallationDir=#InstallationDir ";
SqlCommand Command = new SqlCommand(Sql);
Command.Parameters.AddWithValue("#UploadDir", f.UploadDir);
Command.Parameters.AddWithValue("#ThumbnailDir", f.ThumbnailDir);
Command.Parameters.AddWithValue("#ArchiveDir", f.ArchiveDir);
Command.Parameters.AddWithValue("#RealDir", f.RealDir);
Command.Parameters.AddWithValue("#FlashDir", f.FlashDir);
Command.Parameters.AddWithValue("#AssociatedFilesDir", f.AssociatedFilesDir);
Command.Parameters.AddWithValue("#EnableArchiving", f.EnableArchiving);
Command.Parameters.AddWithValue("#AppWideDir", f.AppWideDir);
Command.Parameters.AddWithValue("#FFmpegDir", f.FFmpegDir);
Command.Parameters.AddWithValue("#InstallationDir", f.InstallationDir);
ExecuteNonQuery(Command);
I know there is a way I used to do this with stored procedure I just cant remember how (I think it's called overloading)....
Cheers,
Can you create a stored procedure rather than passing the command as text?
That way you can break each of the lines like "UploadDir=#UploadDir," into its own variable and only add it to the command if it is not null or not empty string
one way would be on a stored procedure, where you would receive all those parameters, then before the query either:
you allow to pass null
you convert each parameter to null if they are empty as:
select #UploadDir = null where #UploadDir = ''
you would do that for all your parameters, then on update query:
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM tbl_FileSystemReferences)
INSERT INTO tbl_FileSystemReferences (UploadDir) VALUES (null)
UPDATE tbl_FileSystemReferences SET
UploadDir=coalesce(#UploadDir, UploadDir),
ThumbnailDir=coalesce(#ThumbnailDir, ThumbnailDir),
ArchiveDir=coalesce(#ArchiveDir, ArchiveDir),
RealDir=coalesce(#RealDir, RealDir),
FlashDir=coalesce(#FlashDir, FlashDir),
AssociatedFilesDir=coalesce(#AssociatedFilesDir, AssociatedFilesDir),
EnableArchiving=coalesce(#EnableArchiving, EnableArchiving),
AppWideDir=coalesce(#AppWideDir, AppWideDir),
FFmpegDir=coalesce(#FFmpegDir, FFmpegDir),
InstallationDir=coalesce(#InstallationDir, InstallationDir)
