I have used the aggregation designer to generate some tables. I just wanted to know is there anything else I have to modify in the cube definition xml? Currently it look likes the aggname name attribute values generated wont match correctly.
Thanks
The aggregates generated worked unmodified

I need to add a field to a SSRS report. I tried modifying the dataset (query) but the results prouduced insane results, with zipcodes showing up in the name fields and names showing up in a datetime field. I suspect it is because of the groups but I don't understand how they work. The Dataset is created by 4 selects. The first 3 insert into temp tables and the fourth pulls from it. I suspect that I will have to re-write the query but it would be nice if I could use it as is with modifications. Either way I need to understand the groups.
I read
Data Region Cells, Data Region and Understanding Groups. Aside from the fact that they use terms specific to SSRS without defining them they are so undetailed I doubt many people who do not already understand SSRS can get anything out of them.
I did not write this report but I must modify it. I understand SQL well. Not so much with SSRS.
Can anyone explain how to find out what the Row Groups mean? Mine look like this:
Here is the tablix
currently I am trying to create one application using Any point studio. But stuck here...
I am having two select query to fetch the data from two different tables of a single database and according to the request it will decide from which table the data will be fetched.
I'm able to create the dynamic query which will take the dynamic table name and column name. But, I wanted to take two different query. As the column name in the where clause is different for both.
please help me out...
Thanks
You should be able to use MEL expressions in the database connector by choosing "Dynamic" type select query. So you only have to put the correct clause on a string variable and reference it on the connector.
Anyway, I would not try that approach. I would place a "choose" flow control and two database connectors and decide which of them use base on your condition. I would use "Parametrized" type select query, it is more secure than using "Dynamic".

I want to sort information in a dojo EnhancedGrid (connected to database through JsonRestStore). I know dojo grids provide functionality to sort based on a single column. However, in my grid, one column contains combined information from multiple fields (e.g., last name, first name, email, age) of database table. Is there a simple way to sort the grid or the data in the store based on a single filed in database table (e.g., last name)?
It seems I can use "query" to change the view of the store (grid is a view of the store if I understand correctly), but I don't understand how to write a query to do that. Can anyone give me more information about the syntax of using query or how to solve this issue?
Thank you!
It looks like you have to use what is called a comparatorMap for customized grid sorting.
here's one example :
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/web/library/wa-aj-dojogrid/index.html
(look for the section 'Listing 15. Customize the sort function of Dojo
Grid')
inside the comparator map function is where you would convert the strings to
numbers and make the numeric comparison.
I had a problem in creating the Dynamic report in SSRS. My problem is:
In a table I have stored SQL scripts with the column SQLScripts. If you execute these SQL scripts you get different number of columns for each script.
My problem is, I have one report with buttons of these scripts, for example test1, test2...like that. If you press test1 button this should take the test one SQL script and should display the report with appropiate columns in that sqlscripts.
I can't create individual reports for each test report, they are plenty. Are there any options for me to solve this problem...
The only way I've been able to get this to work sofar is:
Each report has 2 datasets.
ReportData
DataHeaders
The "DataHeaders" need to have the proper name of the datafields in "ReportData". Be careful since SSRS replaces blanks and special characters with "_"
Now, create a table (or matrix) and drag the DataHeaders as the Columns of your report. (This should be a grouped column). If you run it at this point, you'll see all your columns without any data. Now comes the magic:
Create another report that takes a "DataField" parameter. Create another table or matrix within this report and set it's dataset property to be "ReportData". In the DATA cell for the table, set it to the expression =Fields(Parameters!DataField.Value).Value
Now go back to your first report. Right click and insert a subreport. Right click on the subreport and select "Subreport Properties". Under general, select the second report you created to be used as the subreport. Under parameters, select the DataField parameter and set its value to something like =Fields!DataField.Value
In my case I did some formatting in this expression to fix the above mentioned issue with spaces and special characters, since my stored procedure was initially used in ASP.NET and this was just a proof of concept.
Also in my experience the performance isn't great. In fact it was kinda slow, though I haven't had a chance to switch it to use a shared dataset, which I suspect would help a bit. Please let me know if you find a better solution.
I have not found a way to do this completely dynamically. Here is a similar question with some possible solutions:
How do i represent an unknown number of columns in SSRS?
You basically need to create a 'master dataset' from the other Datasets that are based on your multitude of SQL scripts first.The master dataset should contain the data to be presented in it's most simplistic form, i.e. in a simple list format.
Finally, go to the toolbar in SSRS and drag a 'Matrix' into the report. A Matrix table acts similar to a pivot table in Excel or a CrossTab query in Access that will display whatever's in the Dataset.
Can a DevExpress XtraGrid be filled using a a Dynamic SELECT statement string?
i.e.
SELECT * FROM Employee
or
SELECT * FROM Dependents
To fill our XtraGrids currently, we use a ORM that creates entities. To do this it takes a lot of steps and time. What is driving me to ask this question is we do a lot of client aquistions where we get hundreds of files. I do not want to create entities for all of these then have to create an XtraGrid for each entity. Ideally if I can just feed it a SELECT statement and the XtraGrid could render it then I could use the XtraGrid very nice data minipulation features (Filter, Group By, etc).
If you have any other ideas or suggestions please do not hesitate to post them.
Revised:
Per Brendon's responce below to create a static method that returns a DataTable.
Here is a link to a page that actually does that. http://msmvps.com/blogs/deborahk/archive/2009/07/07/dal-retrieve-a-datatable-using-a-sql-statement.aspx
The XtraGrid doesn't have any built-in mechanisms to create a data source from a SQL statement. For me, the easiest way to accomplish this is to simply create a static method that builds and returns a DataTable/DataSet from a SQL statement. I can then set the XtraGrid's data source to the results of this method.
