SSRS Report matrix - matrix

I want to display a graph with a variable number of curves (that I get from a dataset) :
So I can have this :
Trend 1 | Tag 1.1 | Unit 1 |
Trend 1 | Tag 1.2 | Unit 2 |
Trend 2 | Tag 2.1 | Unit 1 |
Trend 2 | Tag 2.2 | Unit 2 |
Trend 2 | Tag 2.3 | Unit 3 |
I Want to display this in a matrix with a group on Trend name to have somethning like this :
Trend 1 | Graph SubReport |
Trend 2 | Graph Subreport |
In the subreport I have Tag1Name, Tag2Name, ... Tag10Name (It was designed like this and I cannot change it :/)
So I have to pass as a parameter to the subreport tag names and I don't find a way to to do this, because when I do it "normally" I have only the first Tag (Tag 1.1 for trend1 and Tag 2.1 for Trend 2).
Do you have any idea ?
I use SSRS 2008 (NOT R2 - so no lookup feature).
Thanks in advance.

Missing results after reducing the visualization size

I would like to count the same log messages in Kibana. With the Size set to 200, it turns out that there are two results that happened twice
But, if I lower the Size to 5, I don't see those two:
It should show me top 5 rows, ordered by count. I expected something like this:
| LogMessage | Count |
|------------|-------|
| xx | 2 |
| yy | 2 |
| zz | 1 |
| qq | 1 |
| ww | 1 |
What am I missing?
The issue is the little warning about Analyzed Field. You should use a keyword field.
With analyzed fields, the analyzer breaks down the original string during indexing into sub-strings to facilitate search use cases (handling things like word boundaries, punctuation, case insensitivity, declination, etc)
A keyword field is just a simple string.
What's probably happening is that you have data like
| LogMessage | Count |
|------------|-------|
| a | 1 |
| b | 1 |
| c x | 1 |
| d x | 1 |
With an analyzed field, if you have a terms agg of size 2 you might (depending on the sort order) get a and b
With a larger terms agg, the top sub-string will be x
This is a simplified example, but I hope it gets the issue across.
The Terms Aggregation docs have a good section about how to avoid/solve this issue.

Randomness Comparison Experiment

I have a drug analysis experiment that need to generate a value based on given drug database and set of 1000 random experiments.
The original database looks like this where the number in the columns represent the rank for the drug. This is a simplified version of actual database, the actual database will have more Drug and more Gene.
+-------+-------+-------+
| Genes | DrugA | DrugB |
+-------+-------+-------+
| A | 1 | 3 |
| B | 2 | 1 |
| C | 4 | 5 |
| D | 5 | 4 |
| E | 3 | 2 |
+-------+-------+-------+
A score is calculated based on user's input: A and C, using the following formula:
# Compute Function
# ['A','C'] as array input
computeFunction(array) {
# do some stuff with the array ...
}
The formula used will be same for any provided value.
For randomness test, each set of experiment requires the algorithm to provide randomized values of A and C, so both A and C can be having any number from 1 to 5
Now I have two methods of selecting value to generate the 1000 sets for P-Value calculation, but I would need someone to point out if there is one better than another, or if there is any method to compare these two methods.
Method 1
Generate 1000 randomized database based on given database input shown above, meaning all the table should contain different set of value pair.
Example for 1 database from 1000 randomized database:
+-------+-------+-------+
| Genes | DrugA | DrugB |
+-------+-------+-------+
| A | 2 | 3 |
| B | 4 | 4 |
| C | 3 | 2 |
| D | 1 | 5 |
| E | 5 | 1 |
+-------+-------+-------+
Next we perform computeFunction() with new A and C value.
Method 2
Pick any random gene from original database and use it as a newly randomized gene value.
For example, we pick the values from E and B as a new value for A and C.
From original database, E is 3, B is 2.
So, now A is 3, C is 2. Next we perform computeFunction() with new A and C value.
Summary
Since both methods produce completely randomized input, therefore it seems to me that it will produce similar 1000-value outcome. Is there any way I could prove they are similar?

Cucumber - run same feature a number of times depending on records in a database

I have a cucumber feature that checks a website has processed payment files correctly (BACS,SEPA, FPS etc). The first stage of the process is to create the payment files which in-turn create expected result data in a database. This data is then used to validate against the payment processing website.
If I process one file, my feature works perfectly validating the expected results. Where I'm stuck is how I get the feature to run (n) number of times depending on the number of records/files that were originally processed.
I've tried an 'Around' hook using a record count iteration with no joy, can't see how I can fit it into an outline scenario and now think that perhaps a rake task to call the feature might work.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Here's a sample of the feature:
Feature: Processing SEPA Credit Transfer Files. Same Day Value Payments.
Background:
Given we want to test the "SEPA_Regression" scenario suite
And that we have processed a "SEPA" file from the "LDN" branch
And we plan to use the "ITA1" environment
Then we log in to "OPF" as a "SEPA Department" user
#feature #find_and_check_sepa_interchange #all_rows
Scenario: Receive SEPA Credit Transfer Files for branch
Given that we are on the "Payment Management > Interchanges" page
When I search for our Interchange with the following search parameters:
| Field Name |
| Transport Date From |
| Bank |
| Interchange Reference |
Then I can check the following fields for the given file in the "Interchanges" table:
| Field Name|
| Interchange Reference |
| Transport Date |
| File Name |
| File Format |
| Clearing Participant |
| Status |
| Direction |
| Bank |
When I select the associated "Interchange Id" link
Then the "Interchange Details" page is displayed
Update I've implemented nested steps for the feature so that I can call the database records first and feed each set of records (or at least the row id) into the main feature like so:
Feature
#trial_feature
Scenario: Validate multiple Files
Given we have one or more records in the database to process for the "SEPA_Regression" scenario
Then we can validate each file against the system
Feature steps:
Then(/^we can validate each file against the system$/) do
x = 0
while x <= $interchangeHash.count - 1
$db_row = x
# Get the other sets of data using the file name in the query
id = $interchangeHash[x]['id']
file_name = $interchangeHash[x]['CMS_Unique_Reference_Id']
Background.get_data_for_scenario(scenario, file_name)
steps %{
Given that we are on the "Payment Management > Interchanges" page
When I search for our Interchange with the following search parameters:
| Field Name |
| Transport Date From |
| Bank |
| Interchange Reference |
Then I can check the following fields for the given file in the "Interchanges" table:
| Field Name|
| Interchange Reference |
| Transport Date |
| File Name |
| File Format |
| Clearing Participant |
| Status |
| Direction |
| Bank |
When I select the associated "Interchange Id" link
Then the "Interchange Details" page is displayed
Seems a bit of a 'hack' but it works.
If you have batch processing software, then you should have several Given (setup) steps, 1 When (trigger) step, several Then (criteria) steps.
Given I have these SEPA bills
| sepa bill 1 |
| sepa bill 2 |
And I have these BAC bills
| bac bill 1 |
| bac bill 2 |
When the payments are processed
Then these sepa bills are completed
| sepa bill 1 |
| sepa bill 2 |
And I these bac bills are completed
| bac bill 1 |
| bac bill 2 |
It's simpler, easier to read what is supposed to be done, and can be expanded to more. The works should be done in the step definitions of setting up and verifying.

Select only the rows which timestamp correspond to the current month

I am starting to try some experiments using Google SpreadSheets as a DB and for that I am collecting data from different sources and inserting them via spreadsheets API into a sheet.
Each row has a value (Column B) and a timestamp (Column A).
+---------------------+------+
| ColA | ColB |
+---------------------+------+
| 13/10/2012 00:19:01 | 42 |
| 19/10/2012 00:29:01 | 100 |
| 21/10/2012 00:39:01 | 23 |
| 22/10/2012 00:29:01 | 1 |
| 23/10/2012 00:19:01 | 24 |
| 24/10/2012 00:19:01 | 4 |
| 31/10/2012 00:19:01 | 2 |
+---------------------+------+
What I am trying to do is to programmatically add the sum of all rows in Column B where Column A is equal to the current month into a different cell.
Is there any function that I can use for that? Or anyone can point me to the right direction on how can I create a custom function which might do something like this? I know how to do this using MySQL but I couldn't find anything for Google SpreadSheets
Thanks in advance for any tip in the right direction.
Would native spreadsheet functions do?
=ArrayFormula(SUMIF(TEXT(A:A;"MM/yyyy");TEXT(GoogleClock();"MM/yyyy");B:B))

How do I keep Cognos from splitting my subgroups across pages?

I am reporting off of a cube into a crosstab with the results being summarized. For example:
| Val 1 | Val 2
----------------------------------------------------
Division 1 | Region 1 | Location 1 | 5.00 | 3.00
| |-----------------------------
| | Location 2 | 2.00 | 6.00
| |-----------------------------
| | Reg Sum | 7.00 | 9.00
|----------------------------------------
| Region 2 | Location 1 | 4.00 | 3.00
| |-----------------------------
| | Location 2 | 12.80 | 7.40
| |-----------------------------
| | Location 3 | 5.00 | 11.00
| |-----------------------------
| | Reg Sum | 21.80 | 21.40
|----------------------------------------
| Div Sum | 28.80 | 30.40
----------------------------------------------------
Division 2 | Region 1 | Location 1 | 3.00 | 12.85
etc...
Currently, Cognos is breaking the page in the middle of the Division 1/Region 2 subgroup. If the whole region subgroup (including summary) doesn't fit on the remainder of the page, I want it to go to the next page.
I've tried pagination at the region and location level. That has not given me the results I want. Any ideas as to how I can achieve this?
EDIT: Forgot to mention that this is Cognos 8.4.
well, a litle bit out-dated, but nevertheless here is what worked for me:
unlock
place a 1x1 table object inside the Regions cell
place the regions name inside the table object (just drag it inside
the table)
in the table's paginations properties deselect the option Allow row
contents to break across pages
you might also need to specify the height of the table object.
You can use Page breaks to achieve this.
In your example, click on Region data item. From Structure menu, click "Set Page Break using Master/Detail".
That will do the trick.
Please note, for crosstab and chart, report studio creates Page Break using Master/Detail relationship. If you were using List or repeater, then you could use the option of creating page break without Master/Detail relationship.
Please refer to IBM Infocenter for more information on Page Breaks and Page Sets. http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/c8bi/v8r4m0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.swg.im.cognos.c8bi.doc/welcome.html
