I have a Jasper report with the following output format:
Item | Price | Quantity
----------------------------
1 100 5
2 150 8
3 200 11
How do I make that table to this format:
Item 1 2 3
Price 100 150 200
Quantity 5 8 11
The column headers have now become row headers.
I'm actually using DynamicJasper, but of course, it's still relies on Jasper.
What special setting or property should I set to achieve the format I'm looking for.
Also, what do you call this format? Inverted Headers? Inverted Columns? It's hard to Google this issue since the keywords I'm using doesn't seem to be correct. Google always gives me a different answer.
Please check if Crosstabs serve your purpose
As it was suggested before, either check out crosstab, or you can check their CrosstabBuilder/LayoutManager classes and probably override/extend some to adopt to your needs

I have a request where I need to create an integrity report where I am looking at sales data and verifying that the payment terms are consistent on all items (rows).
Sample data:
Sales # | Line # | Terms Code
100 | 1.0 | N90
100 | 2.0 | N90
101 | 1.0 | N60
101 | 2.0 | P45
101 | 3.0 | N60
Notice that on SO 101, line 2.0 has a different terms code. I need to detect that and only display order 101 on the report.
I was looking at using the PREVIOUS operator in a variable like this:
=If(Previous([Payment Terms Code])=[Payment Terms Code]) Then 0 Else 1
but that looks at the Order 100 line 2.0 and would flag it incorrectly.
I am not sure how I can do this, but maybe using the IN operator some how. Suggestions?
So is appropriate to describe the requirement as you need to see any Sales Orders that have more than one distinct terms code? If so, you can accomplish it like this:
Create a new variable:
Terms Count =Count([Terms Code]) in ([Sales #])
Add this object to the report. You should see "1" for all of the 100 records, and "2" for the 101 records.
Finally, add a filter to the report on Trans Count > 1.
The syntax for the Previous() function is:
Previous(dimension|measure|Self [;Row|col][;(reset_dims)][;offset][;NoNull])
The third parameter, reset_dims allows you to specify when the list of dimensions used to reset the calculation.
Thus, your formula would then be:
Previous([Payment Terms Code]; ([Sales #];[Line #]))
Notes:
You must always place dimensions in parentheses even if there is only one dimension in the list of reset dimensions.
When you specify a set of reset dimensions you must separate them with semi-colon
Hi I was wondering if there is a way to split long column values in this case I am using SSRS to get the distinct values with the number of product ID against a category into a matrix/pivot table in SSRS. The problem lies with the amount of distinct category makes it a nightmare to make the report look pretty shall we say. Is there a dynamic way to split the columns in say groups of 10 to make the table look nicer and easy to read. I was thinking of using in operator then the list of values but that means managing the data every time a new category gets added. Is there a dynamic way to present the data in the best way possible? There are 135 distinct category values
Also I am open to suggestions to make the report to nicer if anyone has any thoughts. I am new to SSRS and trying to get to grips with its.
Here is an example of my problem
enter image description here
Are your column names coming back from the database under the SubCat field you note in the comments above? If so I imagine your dataset looks something like this
Subcat | Logno
---------+---------------
SubCatA | 34
SubCatB | 65
SubCatC | 120
SubCatD | 8
SubCatE | 19
You can edit this so that there is an index of each individual category being returned also, using the Row_Number() function. Add the field
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY SubCat ASC) AS ColID
To your query. This will result in the following.
Subcat | LogNo | ColID
-----------+--------------+----------
SubCatA | 34 | 1
SubCatB | 65 | 2
SubCatC | 120 | 3
SubCatD | 8 | 4
SubCatE | 19 | 5
Now there is a numeric identifier for each column you can perform some logic on it to arrange itself nicely on the page.
This solution involves a Tablix, nested inside a Matrix nested inside a Matrix as follows
First create a Matrix (Matrix1), and set it’s datasource to your dataset. Set the Row Group Properties to group on the following expression where ‘4’ is the number of columns you wish to display horizontally.
=CInt(Floor((Fields!ColID.Value - 1) / 4))
Then in the data section of the Matrix (bottom right corner) insert a rectangle and on this insert a new Matrix (Matrix 2). Remove the leftmost row. Set the column header to be the Column Name SubCat. This will automatically set the column grouping to be SubCat.
Finally, in the Data Section of Matrix 2 add a new Rectangle and Add a Tablix on it. Remove the Header Row, and set it to be one column wide only. Set the Data to be the information you wish to display, i.e. LogNo.
Finally, delete the Leftmost and Topmost rows/columns from Matrix 1 to make it look tidier (Note Delete Column Row only! Not associated groups!)
Then when the report is run it should look similar to the following. Note in my example SubCat = ColName, and LogNo = NumItems, and I have multiple values per SubCat.
Hopefully you find this helpful. If not, please ask for clarification.
Can you do something like this:
The following gives the steps (in two columns, down then across)
I am trying to solve a business flow issue at my work and I have an idea that I hope is technically feasible in SQL. What I would like to try and do is store different formulas in SQL syntax into database columns. Within SQL queries I would set variables to equal these columns so that the content of the columns is parsed as a part of the query and the different SQL statements pops up depending on the select specifications.
Short and sweet: I have some widgets to sell and whether or not a client can get these widgets depends on what other widgets they have bought, should have and shouldn’t have, country, customerid, their widget version, widget category and a couple of other things.
My question is how would someone proceed with this? I’m sure someone has made a similar setup before but which methods would be useful to study for my case? Are there case studies where I can find inspiration? I have searched for this without any luck. Hopefully someone who have solved similair issues before would be able to point me in a direction.
Thanks to whom‘ever is able to answer and has had the interest to read my post.

**OK this is more of a comment than an answer but the formatting doesn't work if I enter it as a comment!
To very vaguely answer your question I would have a Widgets table ie
WidgetID | Widget Name
1 Widget1
2 Widget2
3 Widget3
4 Widget4
Then have a WidgetRequirements table which is
WidgetRequiredID | WidgetID | RequiredWidgetID
1 1 2
2 1 3
3 1 4
4 2 4
5 3 1
6 3 4
This tells you that WidgetID 1 needs Widgets 2, 3 and 4 in order to be "active".
Widget 2 only needs widget4 to be active and Widget3 needs widgets 1 and 4.
This should get you started, expand on this theory.
I'd like to know if there's an efficient way to count the number of occurences of a permutation of entities from one side of the m:n relationship. Hopefully, the next example will illustrate properly what I mean:
Let's imagine a base with people and events of some sort. People can organize multiple events and events can be organized by more than one person. What i'd like to count is whether a certain tuple of people have already organized an event or if it's their first time. My first idea to do this is to add an attribute to the m:n relationship
PeopleID | EventID | TimesOrganized
100 1 1
200 1 1
300 2 1
400 3 1
Now, there's an event no. 4 that's again organized by persons 200 and 100 (let's say they should be added in that order). The new table should look like:
PeopleID | EventID | TimesOrganized
100 1 2
200 1 2
300 2 1
400 3 1
200 4 2
100 4 2
Now, if I added an event organized by persons 200 and 300 it would look like this:
PeopleID | EventID | TimesOrganized
100 1 2
200 1 2
300 2 1
400 3 1
200 4 2
100 4 2
200 5 1
300 5 1
How would I go about keeping the third column updated properly and what are my options?
I should also add that this a part of the larger project we have for one of the classes and we'll be implementing an application that uses the database in some way, so I might as well move this to application logic if there's no easy way.
I wouldn't recommend tracking a TimesOrganized column as you suggest.
You can simple query it as needed using a COUNT(EventId)..GROUP BY PeopleID.
If you do feel you need to maintain the value somewhere it probably is better normalized to the (presumed) table People. Something like People.TimesOrganized. But then you have to increment it as you go instead of just recalculating as needed.
If you want to count how many many time someone have organized an event the problem is not m:n, but 1:m. Just count the event grouped by the people, that's it, you don't really need to have that column in the table, if it's not needed a lot of time.
That said I find you table a little confusing, there are detail and aggregation mixed, the third one downright wrong: the PeopleID 200 had organized 3 event and the 300 have 2 event.
I'm using an MRP system for stocking inventory where I work. The interface it self isn't the best, so I have decided to open up the database file and do everything manually. I'm having some issues though. I'm trying to sort my database by using ORDER BY. I'm not getting the results I thought I would. It is showing them in this format:
1
10
100
101
101
11
110
111
etc
Instead of
1
2
3
4
5
etc
This is my query
SELECT *
FROM tblStockItems
Order By (`MasterPNo`)
I'm currently working in access, and then database is in the JET format. If you're wondering why I am using access instead of the MRP Interface, it is because later down the line I will be needing to re-organise the whole stock system, so a lot of fields will have their product numbers changed.
Thanks for reading
if possible, change the column type to number
if not, a cast should do it:
ORDER BY Val(MasterPNo)
