Find empty values in a column

Hello,
I am trying to replicate somthing I did in my access reports.
I need to count how many 0 dollar values or null values show up in a
combination of two colums.
I dont know where to begin in Reporting Services. In Acces this was VBA.
Here is the VBA CODE.
End If
If Nz(Me.sQuotedPrice, 0) = "0" Or Len(Me!sQuotedPrice) = 0 And
Nz(Me.sGuessPrice, 0) = "0" Or Len(Me!sGuessPrice) = 0 Then
sJobsMissingPrices = sJobsMissingPrices + 1
End If
I try this in Reporting Services and it says it is not with in the correct
scope?
Public Shared Function GetEmptyValues()
Dim JobsMissingPrices
If ReportItem!JobPrice.Value= 0 Or Len(ReportItems!JobPrice.value) = 0 And
NzReportItems!Guess_Price = "0" Or Len(ReportItems!Guess_Price) = 0 Then
JobsMissingPrices = JobsMissingPrices + 1
End If
End Function
Any help would be appreciated.

Thank You, LeoHi Leo,
It seems there is something wrong here, an additional "Nz" was not removed
NzReportItems!Guess_Price = "0"
If removing Nz doesn't resolve this issue, please provide more detailed
information about this two values and I would like to make a reproduce on
my side.
Thank you for your patience and corperation. If you have any questions or
concerns, don't hesitate to let me know. We are here to be of assistance!

Financial Periods YTD & Date Ranges

I am developing a set of reports for a site based on AS2000.

The reports will have columns for each finance period in the current year from period 01 to the current reporting period from the Primary Time dimension.

i.e. If period 4 is the default period, The report should show columns for periods 1,2,3,4 with a total that sums the four columns.

When the default period 5 the columns should be 1,2,3,4,5.

I cannot use the current year and explode that to show all periods in the year, as there are postings in future periods beyond the current accounting period that should not be displayed on the report.

I am setting the default member of the time dimension to the current reporting period. (2005/08 for example)
I am trying to use a named set based on an MDX expression to set the column range for the report.

The first test I tried was to set the MDX for the period range to some fixed values
{[Primary Time].[ACCSCAL].&[200501]:[Primary Time].[ACCSCAL].&[200508]}
This gave the expected result showing columns 01/2005 to 08/2005

I then tried changing the last period to use the default member of the dimension
{[Primary Time].[ACCSCAL].&[200501]:[Primary Time].[ACCSCAL].DefaultMember}
This again gave the expected result range and I could change the default member on the dimension and see the columns on the report update correctly.

I then tried testing that the first period can be found correctly
{[Primary Time].[ACCSCAL].&[200508].FirstSibling:[Primary Time].[ACCSCAL].&[200508]}
This again gave the expected result range from 01/2005 to 08/2005

I then tried combining the default member and first sibling calculations
{[Primary Time].[ACCSCAL].DefaultMember.FirstSibling:[Primary Time].[ACCSCAL].DefaultMember}
This gave a single column "All Primary Time", this was not what I was expecting.

So I tried changing the mdx to test the value of the first sibling of the default member, expecting 01/2005
{[Primary Time].[ACCSCAL].DefaultMember.FirstSibling}
This again gave a single column "All Primary Time".

So I then tried changing the mdx to test that a single period would work in the named set
{[Primary Time].[ACCSCAL].DefaultMember}
This again gave a single column "All Primary Time".

So I tried changing the mdx to test the value of the default member, expecting 08/2005
{[Primary Time].[ACCSCAL].&[200508]}
This again gave a single column for 08/2005 as expected

By now this has me totally confused!

Do you have any idea why the default member works when used as the second part of the range but does not work when used on its own or as the first element of the range?

Is this the correct way of achieving the report I am aiming for or is there a better method to use?

Any suggestions you have would be welcome.

Apologies is this is a FAQ.

What is the actual MDX expression for the Default Member of [Primary Time].[ACCSCAL]?|||The Default Member is [Primary Time].[ACCSCAL].&[200508]

final product

Hi all,

I have build a small asp.net websites where I want to generate some reports, but I have some questions?

Do you have to install the reporting services on the system where the final product will be hosted?

I have tried to use the report viewer to build a local delivery report, but I can not see the printer, any solution to that ?

Yes you have to install Microsoft Report Viewer.

But, if you create a kit for your web site=> properties on the kit =>Prerequisites=>chech ""Microsoft Reports for VS 2005" (something like this) and also

VERY IMPORTANT chech the second options from down "Telecharger les components requires a partir de l'amplacement de mon application" (sorry but i have VS in french)

Thease option will create the kit with all you nead to run reports after the instalation!!!

Filters with large number of values

I have web-based reports using SQL server 2005 with filters called location
and suppliers and the number of locations and suppliers are more than 200
each. When the report is rendered with this filters, selection of locations
and suppliers is taking long time on the browsers and it is not easy to
search for the required options in the drop down with checkboxes,
1. Can we modify the parameters display area to show a file-open image
clicking on which opens a popup window for users to select the filter
values?
2. Can we improve the performance while user selects the filter values?
3. Is there any other way to handle this type of large filters (more than
200 filter options) for the reports?
Thanks and Regards,

In response to number 1, I'm afraid not. In response to number 2, if
I'm understanding you correctly, the more filters you have the more
the performance will be affected. To improve performance, I would
suggest running the report query/stored procedure through the Database
Engine Tuning Advisor to see if there are any indexes that can be
implemented/removed that would improve the performance of the query.
Then, make sure that you are doing as much of the processing in the
query/stored procedure as possible and not in the report. After that,
I would say to limit the number of filters you have on the report.
Hope this helps.

Filters

A common question is on reports with parameters - is there some way to also
display what the parameter values were for this given report?I did find some ways to display the paramters - but man are they ugly:
Expression:
="Type: "&Join(Parameters!AssessmentTypeStatusATSStatus.Value)
The value selected is "Current" - but what is display on report with above
expression is:
Type: [Assessment Type Status].[ATS Status].&[Current]

Filtering the dataset

Hi All,
I have reports which return employee information. I want the report to have
an optional 3 parameters representing Entity, Business Unit and Cost Centre.
If any of these parameters(or a combination is used) I want to filter the
returned dataset to display only relevant rows.
Before anyone suggests using the parameters in the stored procedure, forget
it! The stored procedure is complex enough that it has to figure out the
users access level...so I'd rather filter after the fact.
I've hit a brick wall with this one, so if anyone has any fantastic ideas,
Id love to hear them.
Kind Regards,
Terry PinoFiltering the dataset can be done with the filter tab in the dataset.
U can try with the filters - Expression & Value. using custom expressions.
To help U out, I need more details abt the parameters and returned columns
with which u filter the dataset.

I worked it out after posting this article.Basically I ended up with 3
filter values each one something like this:
iif(Parameter.value1 is null,"",Fields.value1) = iif(Parameter.value1 is
null,"",Parameter.value1)
Getting around my problem of the filter parameter being null.
Always helps to talk about things;-)
Cheers,

Filtering records between 2 dates for the report(Using CR 9.2)

HI,
I am developing this application which stores purchases requisitions information from the user in a d/b.I have to generate reports based on the user inputted dates.The reports should list all the records between the 2 dates which the user inputs at run time.
This is the code I have provided to do the filtering of records for the CR.
********************************************************
MsgBox "Please enter 2 dates in between which to generate the Cost allocation Report", vbOKOnly + vbInformation, "Printing Reports.."
date1 = InputBox("Please enter the starting date for the Report!", "Cost Allocation Report")
date2 = InputBox("please enter the ending date for the Report!", "Cost Allocation Report")
date1 = CDate(MakeDateFormated(date1, "/"))
date2 = CDate(MakeDateFormated(date2, "/"))
Dim str3
str3 = "{purchase.invno}<> '" & invnonil & "' AND {purchase.podate} >= '" & date1 & "' AND {purchase.podate} <= '" & date2 & "'"
CrystalReport6.RecordSelectionFormula = str3
CrystalReport6.PrintOut True, 1
CrystalReport6.DiscardSavedData
********************************************************
Date1 and date 2 are of type Date.
When this code is run,I get an error message which says that "a Date-Time is required here" for the line giving the Record selection formula.
When I checked the CR in the designer,the datatype of the field "podate" is shown as Date-Time instead of just Date,even though,it is of type date in the Database.
I have tried deleting the field and adding it again to the report.It still shows datatype to be Date-Time.
How can I change this?
Please help me as I am very very new to this area.
Thank you for your time.Your help is highly appreciated.
Lakshmi VinayTry this

str3 = "{purchase.invno}<> '" & invnonil & "' AND {purchase.podate} >= #" & date1 & "# AND {purchase.podate} <= #" & date2 & "#"
