I am a beginner trying to achieve a simple operation in SSRS using Visual Studio 2019. I have a query which returns a table as follows
ID | Name | Married
1 | Jack | Y
2 | Jack | N
The number of records might vary depending on the number of results. On the report, I want to display only the field 'Married' once. The value of the field will be determined using an OR operation, i.e. if the field 'Married' is 'Y' for any one record, I want to display a 'Y' on the report.
Assuming the Values are either Y or N, you should be able to use something like
=MAX(Fields!Married.Value)
If you report is grouped by, for example, Name then this will give you the MAX value within each group which is probably what you want.
If this does not help, edit your question and show

Expected results from that sample data
We are trying to implement a dashboard that displays various tables, metrics and a map where the dataset is a list of customers. The primary filter condition is the disjunction of two numeric fields. We want to the user to be able to select a threshold for [field 1] and a separate threshold for [field 2] and then impose the condition [field 1] >= <threshold> OR [field 2] >= <threshold>.
After that, we want to also allow various other interactive slicers so the user can restrict the data further, e.g. by country or account manager.
Power BI naturally imposes AND between all filters and doesn't have a neat way to specify OR. Can you suggest a way to define a calculation using the two numeric fields that is then applied as a filter within the same interactive dashboard screen? Alternatively, is there a way to first prompt the user for the two threshold values before the dashboard is displayed -- so when they click Submit on that parameter-setting screen they are then taken to the main dashboard screen with the disjunction already applied?
Added in response to a comment:
The data can be quite simple: no complexity there. The complexity is in getting the user interface to enable a disjunction.
Suppose the data was a list of customers with customer id, country, gender, total value of transactions in the last 12 months, and number of purchases in last 12 months. I want the end-user (with no technical skills) to specify a minimum threshold for total value (e.g. $1,000) and number of purchases (e.g. 10) and then restrict the data set to those where total value of transactions in the last 12 months > $1,000 OR number of purchases in last 12 months > 10.
After doing that, I want to allow the user to see the data set on a dashboard (e.g. with a table and a graph) and from there select other filters (e.g. gender=male, country=Australia).
The key here is to create separate parameter tables and combine conditions using a measure.
Suppose we have the following Sales table:
Customer Value Number
-----------------------
A 568 2
B 2451 12
C 1352 9
D 876 6
E 993 11
F 2208 20
G 1612 4
Then we'll create two new tables to use as parameters. You could do a calculated table like
Number = VALUES(Sales[Number])
Or something more complex like
Value = GENERATESERIES(0, ROUNDUP(MAX(Sales[Value]),-2), ROUNDUP(MAX(Sales[Value]),-2)/10)
Or define the table manually using Enter Data or some other way.
In any case, once you have these tables, name their columns what you want (I used MinNumber and MinValue) and write your filtering measure
Filter = IF(MAX(Sales[Number]) > MIN(Number[MinCount]) ||
MAX(Sales[Value]) > MIN('Value'[MinValue]),
1, 0)
Then put your Filter measure as a visual level filter where Filter is not 0 and use MinCount and MinValues column as slicers.
If you select 10 for MinCount and 1000 for MinValue then your table should look like this:
Notice that E and G only exceed one of the thresholds and tha A and D are excluded.
To my knowledge, there is no such built-in slicer feature in Power BI at the time being. There is however a suggestion in the Power BI forum that requests a functionality like this. If you'd be willing to use the Power Query Editor, it's easy to obtain the values you're looking for, but only for hard-coded values for your limits or thresh-holds.
Let me show you how for a synthetic dataset that should fit the structure of your description:

Desktop table:
Here you see an Input table and a subset table using two Slicers. If the forum suggestion gets implemented, it should hopefully be easy to change a subset like below to an "OR" scenario:
Transaction Value > 1000 OR Number or purchases > 10 using Power Query:
If you use Edit Queries > Advanced filter you can set it up like this:
The last step under Applied Steps will then contain this formula:
= Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type2", each [NPurchases12] > 10 or [TransactionValue12] > 1000
Now your original Input table will look like this:
Now, if only we were able to replace the hardcoded 10 and 1000 with a dynamic value, for example from a slicer, we would be fine! But no...
I know this is not what you were looking for, but it was the best 'negative answer' I could find. I guess I'm hoping for a better solution just as much as you are!
I have data in table A as below
Assetid attribute value
1546 Ins_date 05062011
1546 status active
1546 X 10.4567
1546 Y 27.56
1546 size 17
675 X 4.778
675 Y 53.676
675 depth 5
675 st_date 06092010
I have data as above in table A. This table has many Assetids 1546,675,....etc. attributes might vary for assets.
I want output as below:
assetid ins_date status X Y Size depth st_date
1546 05062011 active 10.4567 27.56 17 null null
675 null null 4.778 53.676 null 5 06092010
I have created Stored procedure, then called in Informatica to achieve this output. However, since i have large volume of data, it is taking much time to load.
Please suggest me other easy and best way to load it.
Use a router to split the rows into separate groups depending on attribute and then use a set of joiners to merge the rows with the same assetid values.
Use an Aggregator transformation to condense the records into one record per assetid. Then for each attribute, create a port that returns MAX(value) where the attribute matches. Note that this method assumes that you know all possible attributes ahead of time.
As suggested in previous answer you can use the aggregator. Since your data set is large you can use a technique using variable port in an expression as well provided the data is sorted before it reaches the expression.
You can download the sample mappings that demonstrate both the the techniques from Informatica Marketplace App titled "PowerCenter Mapping: Convert Rows Into Columns".
Greetings,
In my reporting services I would like to add sorting. Is there any way I can add sorting by two fields inside one column's sort expression? something like:
=Fields!SomeValue1.Value
=Fields!Somevalue2.Value
when I use this sort expression, values are not sorted correctly.
Values I would like to sort are something like
SomeValue1 SomeValue2
10 11
9 1
20 21
13 12
13 7
17 6
The case is that SomeValue1 and SomeValue2 comes from another value that as follows:
10-11
9-1
20-21
13-12
13-7
17-6
Any help would be appreciated.
I can think of three possiblities:
(Simplest) Include an order by SomeValue1, SomeValue2 clause at the end of your SQL query.
Sort by two expressions in Table Properties - ie. in the Sorting tab in the Table Properties dialog, enter =Fields!SomeValue1.Value as the expression on the first line, then click on the line below and enter =Fields!SomeValue2.Value - like so:
(Hardest) Sort on a single expression in Table Properties consisting of SomeValue1 and SomeValue2 converted to 0-padded, fixed length strings, concatenated together - similar to the original value, but formatted consistently, like so: 0000000001-0000000001.
I recommend the first approach.
