I am creating an SSRS2012 report.
I have a matrix with static columns and nested row groups. I would like to add a top and bottom border on my rows based on the parent group. The matrix looks as follows:
[ProcessCell] | [Name] | [Field]|
My groups are: ProcessCell1 (parent) - Name (child)
I am currently using standard formatting to get [ProcessCell]'s borders and it works. I am using an expression (found in another article) for [Name]'s borders and it works, however the expression does not work for the [Field] box. The expression is as follows:
=IIf(Fields!ProcessCell.Value = Previous(Fields!ProcessCell.Value, "Name") OR Not(Fields!ProcessCell.Value = First(Fields!ProcessCell.Value, "Name")), "Light Gray", "Black")
I have tried changing the scopes of previous and first but it did not work.
The error I am getting is "BorderColor expression for the text box 'Field' has a scope parameter that is not valid for an aggregate function"
I had exactly the same problem today (well with a Tablix, not a matrix, and in SSRS 2008 R2). I couldn't get the Previous() function to work properly and not throw the same "BorderStyle expression for the textbox..." error that you're seeing.
What I did instead was add a new field to my Dataset that uses the ROW_NUMBER() analytic SQL function to categorize my results. The relevant fields in my report were UserName, ReportName, and DatetimeRun (yes, this was a report on report usage). I wanted borders to appear between each unique combination of UserName and ReportName, so I added this field to my dataset:
ROW_NUMBER() over (partition by UserName,ReportName order by UserName,ReportName)
as RowNum
which for each unique combination of UserName and ReportName (the fields in the Partition by portion), starts at 1 and sequentially numbers the rows returned.
Back in my BorderStyle/Top expression, instead of using Previous() I used this:
=iif(Fields!RowNum.Value = 1,"Solid","None")
to display a border only at the beginning of a new UserName/ReportName combination.
Hope this helps!

I have brought a table from an Authority database into Excel via power query OBDC type, that includes fields like:
Date - various
Comments - mem_txt
Sequence - seq_num
The Comments field has a length restriction, and if a longer string is entered, it returns multiple rows with the Comments field being chopped into suitable lengths and the order returned in the Sequence field as per extract below. All other parts of the records are the same.
I want to collapse the rows based and concatenate the various Comments into a single entry. There is a date/time column just outside of the screen shot above that can be used to group the rows by (it is the same for the set of rows, but unique across the data set).
For example:
I did try bring the data in by a query connection, using the GROUP_CONCAT(Comments SEPARATOR ', ') and GROUP BY date, but that command isn't available in Microsoft Query.
Assuming the date/time column you refer to is named date_time, the M code would be:
let
Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name = "Table1"]}[Content],
#"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(
Source,
{"date_time"},
{{"NewCol", each Text.Combine([mem_text])}}
)
in
#"Grouped Rows"
Amend the Source line as required.
[Report Design]
Here is an Example for a report that I am working on.
It is grouped by "CostCenter" Field and above each group there is a header with the SUM of the "Betrag" Field.
I want to Number each Column in the Table with the Headers as well.
I tried using RowNumber(Nothing) or Row Number("DataSet") Or Running Value.
I get these results [Report View]
I think there should be a way or a Formula that connects both Fields in the Colmun Row Number or "Zeilennr" that results with a Correct Row Numbering for each Row
You can almost do this. The number would not work if placed to the left of the inner group, it needs to be at the same level as the details group but it will give you the correct number. I've only done very limited testing but it seems to work.
Go to the report's properties and then to the code tab.
Now add the following custom code function
Public rn as Integer
Public Function GetRn() AS Integer
rn = rn +1
return rn
End Function
Now in the text box where you want the number to appear use the expression
=Code.GetRn
All this does in increment the public variable by 1 then return it. It has no concept of the row it lies on, so if you did not include this on a group row, the numbers would remain sequential.
Here is a demo based on a small test report I had..

Add the same expression to more text boxes...

Struggling with a way to hide an expression on certain rows in my pivot table below. Basically, I want to be able to hide my expression 'Cumulative' when the FINANCIAL_PLAN_TYPE is not equal to 'OB_VARIANCE_TO_T1'. I figured out a way to change the text format on the lines with other FINANCIAL_PLAN_TYPE so that it appears hidden (what is showing in the picture below), but I'd really like the whole row to go away in these cases.
Additionally, I do not want to see a Total on the Cumulative lines if possible, but I do want to keep them on the Sum(AMOUNT) lines.
My expression for Cumulative is:
sum(aggr(Rangesum(above(sum({<YEAR={"$(vYear_Current)"},FINANCIAL_PLAN_TYPE={"OB_VARIANCE_TO_T1"}>}AMOUNT),0,MONTH_NUM)), FINANCIAL_PLAN_TYPE, MONTH_NUM))
I tried to use the function Only, as well as, I tried conditionally enabling/disabling the expression but I can't seem to get it to work. Any ideas would be great. Thanks!
FINAL SOLUTION:
1) Load Inline Table
Load * Inline
[MyDim
Cumulative
Vals
];
2) Created calculated dimension to combine the two desired dimensions into one and show blank ('') in cases that you don't want to show (this leaves one blank line on the pivot but there is probably a way to hide that too):
=If(MYDim='Cumulative' and FINANCIAL_PLAN_TYPE='OB_VARIANCE_TO_T1','Orig Budg Cumulative Variance',if(MYDim='Cumulative' and FINANCIAL_PLAN_TYPE='LE_VARIANCE_TO_T1','LE Cumulative Variance',if(MYDim <> 'Cumulative',FINANCIAL_PLAN_TYPE,'')))
3) Create a new expression that does one calculation in the case of your made up dimension = Value A and something else in case your calculated dimension = Value B
If(MYDim='Cumulative' and (FINANCIAL_PLAN_TYPE='OB_VARIANCE_TO_T1' OR FINANCIAL_PLAN_TYPE='LE_VARIANCE_TO_T1'),If(ColumnNo()=0,'',sum(aggr(Rangesum(above(sum({<YEAR={"$(vYear_Current)"}, DEPARTMENT={"20820"}, ACCT_TYPE={"Capital"}>}AMOUNT),0,MONTH_NUM)),
FINANCIAL_PLAN_TYPE, MONTH_NUM))),IF(MYDim='Vals', SUM({<ACCT_TYPE={"Capital"},DEPARTMENT={"20820"}>}AMOUNT)))
You cannot hide expression on some of the rows - not possible in Qlikview.
The workaround is to create a dummy floating table that holds the second column as a dimension and then use it in your chart instead of the two expressions. Then you will have one expression that says something like that :
If ( dummyField = 'Cummulative' and = 'OB_VARIANCE_TO_T1',
{Use your second expression here} ,
If (dummyField = 'sum(Amount)', {use your original first expression here}))
Regarding the Total, check out this link in the "Tricking the Pivot Table" section
Please look at the image below, my dataset has two processes, 'logs processed' and 'stacked at kilns'.
I need to take the total 'stacked at kilns' and divide it by the total 'logs processed' for each length.
so for example for field name 5.4 (dataset field length), I would like to divide 2784/2283 to return a percentage of the recovery.
my expressions currently is
=Sum(IIf(
(Fields!process.Value = "Logs Processed") AND (Fields!Length.Value=Fields!Length.Value)
, Fields!cubes.Value
, Nothing)
, "Wetmill_to_Kiln")
But this returns the value of all lengths where process is 'Logs Processed' not for just length 5.4 as per example.
So each length field is dynamically created (3.3,3.6,3.9 .... 6,6.3,6.6)
I would like to get the total for 'stacked at kiln'/'logs processed' for each length field.
any help appreciated as always

I have created a text box inside the column group. this returns the value for that group but how can I reference the value of that text box.
if I use something like ReportItems!tbxSource.Value how can I reference the value of the textbox when the it is dynamically created across the column group? there are then mulitple instances of that textbox name?
with reference to the picture how do get the value of the white <> from the textbox with green <>
Thanks,
Since you are using a column group, you can put your expression into a text box within the group and it will execute on only the data that is captured within each column. So if your code for the Logs processed row is something like Sum(Logs) and your code for the Stacked at Kiln row is something like Sum(Stacked), your expression code for the recovery row would be Sum(Stacked)/Sum(Logs). The key is to make sure that it is within the column group.
So what I got to work was to create two variables on the column group. one called kilntotal and one called logtotal. the variables value was equal to the result of this expression:
=sum(iif(Fields!process.Value="logs",cdbl(Fields!cubes.Value),cdbl(`0)))`
and
=sum(iif(Fields!process.Value="kiln",cdbl(Fields!cubes.Value),cdbl(0)))
I then use these variable in my logic in my recovery % row:
=Variables!kilntotal.Value/Variables!logtotal.Value
Thanks for the input and your time.
I have a pivot table chart in QlikView that has a dimension and an expression. The dimension is a column with 5 possible values: 'a','b','c','d','e'.
Is there a way to restrict the values to 'a','b' and 'c' only?
I would prefer to enforce this from the chart properties with a condition, instead of choosing the values from a listbox if possible.
Thank you very much, I_saw_drones! There is an problem I have though. I have different expressions defined depending on the category, like this:
IF( ([Category]) = 'A' , COUNT( {<[field1] = {'x','y'} >} [field2]), IF ([Category]) = 'B' , SUM( {<[field3] = {'z'} >} [field4]), IF (Category='C', ..., 0)))
In this case, where would I add $<Category={'A','B','C'} ? My expression so far doesn't help because although I tell QV to use a different formula/calculation for each category, the category overall (all 5 values) represents the dimension.
One possible method to do this is to use QlikView's Set Analysis to create an expression which sums only your desired values.
For this example, I have a very simple load script:
LOAD * INLINE [
Category, Value
A, 1
B, 2
C, 3
D, 4
E, 5
];
I then have the following Pivot Table Chart set up with a single expression which just sums the values:
What we need to do is to modify the expression, so that it only sums A, B and C from the Category field.
If I then use QlikView's Set Analysis to modify the expression to the following:
=sum({$<Category={A,B,C}>} Value)
I then achieve my desired result:
This then restricts my Pivot Table Chart to displaying only these three values for Category without me having to make a selection in a Listbox. The form of this expression also allows other dimensions to be filtered at the same time (i.e. the selections "add up"), so I could say, filter on a Country dimension, and my restriction for Category would still be applied.
How this works
Let's pick apart the expression:
=sum({$<Category={A,B,C}>} Value)
Here you can recognise the original form we had before (sum(Value)), but with a modification. The part {$<Category={A,B,C}>} is the Set Analysis part and has this format: {set_identifier<set_modifier>}. Coming back to our original expression:
{: Set Analysis expressions always start with a {.
$: Set Identifier: This symbol represents the current selections in the QlikView document. This means that any subsequent restrictions are applied on top of the existing selections. 1 can also be used, this represents the full set of data in your document irrespective of selections.
<: Start of the set modifiers.
Category={A,B,C}: The dimension that we wish to place a restriction on. The values required are contained within the curly braces and in this case they are ORed together.
>: End of the set modifiers.
}: End of the set analysis expression.
Set Analysis can be quite complex and I've only scratched the surface here, I would definitely recommend checking the QlikView topic "Set Analysis" in both the installed helpfile and the reference manual (PDF).
Finally, Set Analysis in QlikView is quite powerful, however it should be used sparingly as it can lead to some performance problems. In this case, as this is a fairly simple expression the performance should be reasonable.
Woa! a year later, but what you are loking for is osmething near this:
Go to the dimension sheet, then select the Category Dimension, and click on the Edit Dimesnion button
there you can use something like this:
= If(Match(Category, 'a', 'b', 'c'), Category, Null())
This will make the object display only a b and c Categories, and a line for the Null value.
What leasts is that you check the "Suppress value when null" option on the Dimension sheet.
c ya around
Just thought another solution to this which may still be useful to people looking for this.
How about creating a bookmark with the categories that you want and then setting the expressions to be evaluated in the context of that bookmark only?
(Will expand on this later, but take a look at how set analysis can be affected by a bookmark)
