How can I fill the page with empty table rows? For example; I have 2 records in the dataset but I want to the page with empty rows (draw the table borders until the end of page)

Are you getting your report data from a database? If so you might look at returning empty rows from your database call.
If you can describe your data source and query that you are using for this report, we might be able to suggest changes to the query to return blank rows.
UPDATE:
OK, Based on how you describe the data you are getting, perhaps you can change your database call to do something like this:
select * from Subeler where Subeler.FirmaId = 10
UNION ALL
select TOP 5 ' ' from Subeler where 1 = 1
That will give you your original data, plus 5 "blank" rows to help pad your report. Of course you would have to make sure the second query has the same number and type of columns as your first, but hopefully this will point you in the right direction.

I am using BigQuery and I don´t know how to loop a table that is in a database here. For example, lets suppose we have schema_A.tableA with the following information
Table A
Originally the TableA.columnA holds the information for the rest row. The columnE is the calculation of the other three columns. But what I am looking for is to iterate/loop in a column the result coming from E (LAG(columnE)) and generate the calculation for the second row. The third row would take the result of columnE_2row and so on.
The desired output is like this :
For example the 2 row- columnA is using 500 because the result of the previous row is 500. In the third row is 300 because that was the result of columnE_row2 and so on. I don´t know how looping works in BigQuery, I would really appreciate your knowledge
Please help!!!
So far, I read some threads but none of them shows how to set a variable from a query, all are loops from 0. https://towardsdatascience.com/loops-in-bigquery-db137e128d2d
I'm trying to query my database to pull only duplicate/old data to write to a scratch section in excel (Using a macro passing SQL to the DB).
For now, I'm currently testing in Access alone to only filter out the old data.
First, I'm trying to filter my database by a specifed WorkOrder, RunNumber, and Row.
The code below only filters by Work Order, RunNumber, and Row. ...but SQL doesn't like when I tack on a 2nd AND statement; so this currently isn't working.
SELECT *
FROM DataPoints
WHERE (((DataPoints.[WorkOrder])=[WO2]) AND ((DataPoints.[RunNumber])=6) AND ((DataPoints.[Row]=1)
Once I figure that portion out....
Then if there is only 1 entry with specified WorkOrder, RunNumber, and Row, then I want filter it out. (its not needed in the scratch section, because its data is already written to the main section of my report)
If there are 2 or more entries with said criteria(WO, RN, and Row), then I want to filter out the newest entry based on RunDate and RunTime, and only keep all older entries.
For instance, in the clip below. The only item remaining in my filtered query will be the top entry with the timestamp 11:47:00AM.
.
Are there any recommended commands to complete this problem? Any ideas are helpful. Thank you.
I would suggest something along the lines of the following:
select t.*
from datapoints t
where
t.workorder = [WO2] and
t.runnumber = 6 and
t.row = 1 and
exists
(
select 1
from datapoints u
where
u.workorder = t.workorder and
u.runnumber = t.runnumber and
u.row = t.row and
(u.rundate > t.rundate or (u.rundate = t.rundate and u.runtime > t.runtime))
)
Here, if the correlated subquery within the where clause finds a record with the same workorder, runnumber and row, but with either a later rundate or the same rundate and a later runtime, then the record is returned by the main query.
You need two more )'s at the end of your code snippet. Or you can delete the parentheses completely in this example, MS Access will ad them back in as it deems necessary.
M.S. Access SQL can be tricky as it is not standards compliant and either doesn't allow for super complex queries, or it needs an ugly work around, like having a parentheses nesting nightmare when trying to join more than two tables.
For these reasons, I suggest using multiple Access queries to produce your results.
Basically I am using MS Access 2013 to import all active work items that are assigned to a specific group from an API and select the data into 2 new tables (Requests & Request_Tasks).
I then have a form sourced from a query to select specific fields from the 2 tables.
Until yesterday it was working with no problems and nothing has changed.
All of the data appears in the 2 tables so the import from the API works fine.
When it comes to the query selecting the data from the 2 tables (Which are already populated with the correct data) the query returns only data from Requests table with blank fields instead of data from Request_Tasks.
The strange part is that out of 28 active work items it returns 24 correctly and the last 4 are having the problem.
Every new task added to the group has the problem also.
Query is below.
SELECT
Request_Tasks.RQTASK_Number,
Request_Tasks.Request_Number,
Requests.Task, Requests.Entity,
Request_Tasks.Description,
Request_Tasks.Request_Status,
Requests.Requested_for_date,
Request_Tasks.Work_On_Date,
Request_Tasks.Estimated_Time,
Request_Tasks.Actual_Time_Analysis,
Request_Tasks.Offers_Built,
Request_Tasks.Number_of_links_Opened,
Request_Tasks.Number_of_Links_Extended,
Request_Tasks.Number_Of_links_closed,
Request_Tasks.Build_Allocated_to,
Request_Tasks.Buld_Review_Allocated_to,
Request_Tasks.Keying_Allocated_to,
Request_Tasks.Keying_Approval_allocated_to,
Request_Tasks.Actual_Build_Time,
Request_Tasks.Actual_Stakeholder_Support,
Request_Tasks.Task_Completed_Date
FROM Request_Tasks
RIGHT JOIN Requests
ON Request_Tasks.Request_Number = Requests.Request_Number
WHERE (((Request_Tasks.Task_Completed_Date)>=Date()
Or (Request_Tasks.Task_Completed_Date) Is Null)
AND ((Requests.Task)<>"7"
And (Requests.Task)<>"8" And (Requests.Task)<>"9"))
OR (((Request_Tasks.Task_Completed_Date)>=Date()
Or (Request_Tasks.Task_Completed_Date) Is Null)
AND ((Requests.Task)<>"7"
And (Requests.Task)<>"8"
And (Requests.Task)<>"9"))
ORDER BY Request_Tasks.Work_On_Date Is Null DESC , Request_Tasks.Work_On_Date, Requests.Entity Is Null DESC , Requests.Task;
Any help would be great.
Thanks.
The query is using RIGHT JOIN, which means rows from Requests table is always reported even if there is no corresponding entry in Request_tasks table.
A full example is here http://www.w3schools.com/Sql/sql_join_right.asp
In your case, most likely somechange might have happened during data load/API and Request_tasks table is not being populated. That is the reason you see blank data for fields from that table.
Solution
Manually check data for 4 faulty records in Request_tasks table.
Ensure keys in both table request_number are matching including data type and any leading space/non printable characters (if they are string type of data) for faulty records.
Query seems fine, its more of issue with data based on problem statement.
A little background:
I have two tables imported from excel. One is 300k + rows so when I do updates to it in excel it just runs too slow, and often doesn't process on my comp. Anyways, I used a 'outer' left join to bring the two together.
Now when I run the query, I get the result which works fine but I need to add some fields to these results.
I am hoping to mimic what Ive done in excel, so I can create my summary pivots in the same manner.
First, I need a field that just concatenates two others after the join.
Then I need to add a field the equivalent of:
1/Countif($T$2:$T$3330,T2) from excel to access. However, the range does not need to be fixed. I will get it so that all the text entries are at the top of the field, so in theory, i need the equivalent of Sheets("").Range("T2").End(xldown). This proportion is used to eliminate double counting when i do pivot tables.
I am probably making this much more complicated than it has to be but I am new to Access as well, so please try to explain some things in explanations.
Thanks
Edit: I currently have:
Select [Table1].*, [Table2].PlaySk, [Table2].Service
From [Table1] Left Join [Table2] On [Table1].Play + [Table1].Skill
= [Table2].PlaySk
And in a general case, what I am trying to solve is something to get ColAB and ColProportion.
ColA ColB ColAB ColProportion
a 1 a1 .5
b 1 b1 1
a 1 a1 .5
b 2 b2 .3333333
b 2 b2 .3333333
b 2 b2 .3333333
Sounds to me like you'll need to make a couple queries in sequence to do everything you need.
The first part (concatenate) is relatively easy though -- just take the two field names you wish to concatenate together, say [Play] and [Skill], and, in design view, make a new field like "PlaySk: [Play] & [Skill]".
If you want to put a character between them (I often do when I concatenate, just to keep things straight), like a semicolon for example, you can do "PlaySk: [Play] & ';' & [Skill]".
As for the second part, I think you'll want to build a "Group By" query on top of the other one. In your original query, make another field in design view like this: "T2_Counter: Iif([The field you're checking, i.e. whatever column T is] = 'whatever value you're checking for, i.e. whatever T2 is',1,0)". This will result in a column that's a 1 when the check is true, and a zero otherwise.
Then bring this query into a new one, click "Totals" at the top in the Design tab, then bring the fields you want to group by down. Then create a field in design view like this: "MagicField: 1/Sum(T2_Counter)".
Hopefully this helps get you started at least.
I inherited an SQL Reporting Services .rdl project from somebody and need help fixing some functionality.
In each row of the report, there is a subreport. In order to save space the subreport is divided into 3. Such that in each row of the report, it splits the data of the subreport into 3 smaller tables. Right now, it fills these 3 subreports horizontally. (ie. if the result has 9 values, the first subtable will have 1, 4 & 7, the second subtable will have 2, 5 & 8, etc)
Is there a way to have it fill the subtables vertically? (ie. the first subtable would have 1,2 & 3)
Thanks!
By default, the multi-column reports should fill vertically. In fact, there isnt even an option to fill horizontally so i'd like to know how it is being done. Perhaps the underlying query has been modified?
In fact, I took a deeper look into the query and it turns out that the column number is being passed as a report parameter and the results are being reordered using a modulo on the column number. I don't have it with me right now, so I don't have the exact syntax.
More info for anyone trying to do this:
it turns out that the subreport query gerates a column which indicates the row number
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY columnName ORDER BY otherColumn) AS RowNumber
Then in the report, the subreport is included 3 times. Each subreport has a report parameter called Column, the first one is of value 1, the second 2 and the last one 0. The subreport then has a filter on it
=RowNumber Mod 3 = Column
that way the subreport results are divided into 3 supreports that can all be placed on the same row to save space.
