I have an Oracle 6i report with Two Complex Queries (Q1 and Q2) connected by Data Link. The report was developed by some other developer who is not available now. Multiple columns are being displayed in report.
Q1 has a column Total_Issuance and Q2 has a column Total_Consumption. I have to display their difference on report. I am using a formula column to get the difference and then binding a display field to this formula column to show on report.
But since the formula column is outside both the queries, I am getting following errors.
REP-1517: Coloumn 'CF_1' references column 'Total_Issuance', which has incompatible frequency.
REP-1517: Coloumn 'CF_1' references column 'Total_Consumption', which has incompatible frequency.
Just like the formula column is outside both queries, create two additional summary columns (outside of both queries):
cs_tot_iss, which will sum total_issuance
cs_tot_con, which will sum total_consumption
Now modify formula column so that its source are newly created summary columns, e.g. let it
return :cs_tot_iss + :cs_tot_con;
As of paper layout: you don't have to display cs_tot_iss nor cs_tot_con (as you already have those values via total_issuance and total_consumption), just add formula column.
Create a new calculated field to the query that is the detail query (I asume it's Q2).
In this calculated field you can simply use:
return :Total_Issuance - :Total_Consumption;
to calculate the difference.

I am working on a BIRT report. Its records are grouped on the basis of the status column. I was looking for an option in the Eclipse BIRT tool by which I can hide combinations of multiple columns in a row which are repeating. I have attached screenshots for both the current report and the expected report structure.
I tried the "suppress duplicate" option but that is limited to a single column. I am not able to apply this on multiple columns together. I couldn't figure out any other option. Please suggest any solution in the tool or do I need to change my query to return the result in the expected format?
Actual Result:
Expected Result:
There are three obvious ways to hide duplicate values.
All of these require you to configure this per column (BTW I don't understand why you consider this to be a problem).
As you already did: Use "suppress duplicates" at the column level.
Add more groups to your table after the existing group.
E.g. one group for the first column (whatever that is).
Then you can choose "Drop" "detail" in the properties of the corresponding group header cell. It's a bit difficult to get the layout right this way.
In your data set, if it's SQL, you can use a little construnct with CASE and the LAG analytic function to compare the column value to that of the previous row, and if they are equal, return NULL instead (pure SQL solution).
My company has tasked with slicing the information on turnover and to create different graphs.
My source data looks like this: Relevant columns are: Voluntary/Involuntary, Termination Reason, Country, Production, and TermDateKey
I am trying to get counts using different filters on the data. I managed to get the basic monthly total using the formula:
Term Month Count = GROUPBY('Turnover Source','Turnover Source'[TermDateKey],"Turnover Total Count", COUNTX(CURRENTGROUP(),'Turnover Source'[TermDateKey]))
This gave me a new sheet with the counts for each month.
Table that shows TermDateKey on Column 1, and Counts on column 2
I am trying to add onto this table by adding counts but using different filters.
For example, I am trying to add another column that gives me the monthly count but filtered for 'Turnover Source'[Voluntary/Involuntary]=="Voluntary". Then another column for 'Turnover Source'[Voluntary/Involuntary]=="Involuntary" and so on. I have not found anywhere that shows me how to do this and when I add in the FILTER function it says that GROUPBY(...) can only work on CURRENTGROUP().
Can some one point me to a resource that will give me the solution I need? I am at a loss, thank you all.
It looks like you may not be aware that you don't have to calculate all possible groupings with DAX formulas.
The very nature of Power BI is that you use a column like "Termination Reason" on an X axis or in the legend of a visual. Any measure that you have created on values of another column, for e.g. a count of all rows, will then automatically be calculated to be grouped by the values in "Termination Reason", giving you a count of each of the values in the column.
You do NOT need DAX functions to calculate the grouping values for each measure for each column value combination.
Here is some simple sample data that has been grouped into dates and colours, one chart showing a count of each colour and one chart showing a sum of the Value column. No DAX was written for that.
If your scenario is different, please explain.
There are two tablix in ssrs report. I am using the same dataset for both tablix. First tablix which shows JOB details and $amnt BY Date (5 month worth of data) and second tablix shows records Grouped by Job and total of $amonts from tablix1.
Tablix 2 shows correct $Sum but for some records there are duplicate rows- if Tablix#1 has more than 1 $amnt.
Example Tablix1: ProjectABC - 1/1/2019 =$2 ; 1/5/2019=$5
ProjectHTG -1/1/2019 =$3
Exampl Tablix2: ProjectABC -$7
ProjectABC -$7
ProjectHTG -$3
how do i modify my expression "=sum(Fields!units.Value,"project2")"
to print "ProjectABC -$7" as one line?
Assuming that your field name if JOB for the project, you would add the field along with the dash to your current expression.
You should NOT group by amount if you want to SUM the amount. You are getting a separate line for each different amount for the same JOB. Only JOBs with the same amounts will be SUMmed as one.
=Fields!JOB.Value & " - " & sum(Fields!units.Value)
A few other issues:
Why are you using the Dataset name in your SUM? It sounds like you have a simple table that groups by JOB and Amount. The table is associated to the Dataset that you want to use. You should only use the dataset name in a table when you're referring to a different dataset than the table is using.
Why do you need two datasets if they have the same info? The second table can do the grouping and summing (and already is) from the same dataset as the first table.
I have created a report with Report Builder 3.0 using columns groups.
The columns retrieve a datetime field. I would like to calculate the date difference between two columns.
For each individual the report should display 1 row and 2 columns. One of the columns can have null values. In this case, no calculation needs to be performed.
I cannot perform any calculation at the dataset level because I am using a stored procedure that I cannot modify.
I have tried to perform a calculation but the values are not correct. Moreover, the results are also changing if the Sort values change.
Random sort
Basically, I need to calculate the different between the 2 columns at the row level.
Any ideas?
Desired Output
I have several DataSets in an SSRS report. How can I use a summed matrix (crosstab) column from one DataSet in a formula of another DataSet with the same data fields (just different selection criteria (categories differ)). When I specify that field in the other DataSet, it only gives me First every time (I did not use First()); it does not automatically move them with the crosstabs in the second DataSet.
You cannot do this in SSRS 2008. This capability is first available in SSRS 2008 R2. Depending on how you use the data in the report layout, you might be able to use the ReportItems collection to get a value. For example, you can use the contents of Textbox1 with a field in a different dataset (field called MyColumn1) in an expression like this:
=ReportItems!Textbox1.Value + Fields!MyColumn1.Value
The ReportItems collection uses the value of a textbox after the page is rendered, so you get the result only and not the raw data so you'd have to be using raw data.
