I am creating a report in SSRS 2005 and where there should be a NULL value in the table it is returning a value ("Alle" [the tables are mostly in German]). This isn't really a problem as I think I can hide the value as explained here:
How to hide certain on SQL Reporting Services 2005
However, when I add =Replace(Fields!LengthofFunding.Value,"Alle","") to the Expression box in the field I want to hide the value for it is returning a FALSE value rather than a blank.
Can anyone let me know how I can make this field return a blank value?
I think instead of replace you can use the Iif as following:
=Iif(Fields!LengthofFunding.Value = "Alle", " " , Fields!LengthofFunding.Value )
This means if its equal to "Alle" replace with blank, else keep the original value.

I created a parameter [GroupID] that is used to query several datasets in my SSRS report. It is using the field [GroupID] from my GroupList_Rolling12 dataset. An example of [GroupID] is 77610N. When 77610N is selected, all of my datasets are correctly 'filtering' for this [GroupID].
I now need to create a text box that returns the [GroupName] of [GroupID]. In other words, when 77610N is selected from my GroupID parameter, I want the [GroupName] that is associated with the selected GroupID parameter to display.
I'm still very new to SSRS and cannot figure this out. I tried creating the expression =First(Fields!GroupName.Value, "GroupList_Rolling12") but that did not work since it simply returns the first value from the query.
I also tried =First(Parameters!GroupID.Value(0)) but this also did not work
I also tried this expression =Lookup(Fields!GroupID.Value, Fields!GroupID.Value, Fields!GroupName.Value, "GroupList_Rolling12")
)
Can you please help?
You can reference the parameter label directly like this
=Parameters!GroupID.Label
There is no need to put the index on the end (=Parameters!GroupID.Label(0)) unless your parameter is multi-value, in which case it would select the first selected entry.
In my report, i have created a xxx parameter which takes values from the report data set.
xxx parameter is not being passed to stored proc which is used to show the data for the report.
Now When the report does not have any data for other parameters, i get an error saying xxx parameter is missing a value.
I tried allowing blank values in the parameter properties.
Check that parameter's - Available Values by going to report parameters properties.
It must not be specified any values. So we should set it as None
Another way is,
Just add a blank space at Specify values - in Default values inside report parameters properties.
Third way
Ido an "if exists" statement for this to go away. It worked for me because it makes it always return a value even if that value is not need by my query.
if exists (my select query)
my select query
else
select '2'
// '2' would never be used, but it made ssrs stop giving me
// the stupid error and execute
This should help.
I'm struggling with Crystal Reports suppressing rows whenever I add a field that some rows may not have data in.
I've been able to fix some of the rows and make them show by using the formula:
if not isnull({field}) then {field} else "Arbitrary string to make row display"
This at least fills in the absent field with something and displays the row.
Do I really have to try and identify every field that may have incomplete data for some rows? Or is there some global method to make all rows show no matter what?
Something like: If isnull(ANYTHING) then " "?
you can do right click on the field, then under suppress, click the formula icon beside it and you can input there the conditions.
You can try the following in report options:
Convert Database NULL values to Default
Convert Other NULL values to Default.
This is hidden in File > Report Options. I have used Convert Database NULL Values to default to show 0's instead of blanks for null valued summaries
I have an SSRs Report with a parameter that gets information from SQL. If it hasn't found anything, at the moment it is just empty. Is there anyway to set it such that if it's empty it will return a different value, say "Please Extend Date Ranges" and disable the parameter?
If you using it to fill it using the SQL and using it for only internal purposes then there is option to make the parameter internal and it will be hidden and it will does not prompt the user.
Make a change to the stored procedure or query that populates the parameter. Include some logic so that if no results are returned by the query you are using now, it adds a row with the default label you want.
But no, you can't disable the parameter dynamically, I don't believe.
Hi everyone I use Crystal Reports with Visual Studio 2010 and have the following issue that I can't seem to solve. I have a parameter called name, and I make it so a user chooses from a drop down list of employee names. It is an optional parameter so the user can select nothing in which case I would like the report to show ALL the employees except for the rows that have field Employee name empty. Now I think I got the second part of it down, because I put a formula in the detail section that seems to hide all the empty employees. The problem is that if I leave the parameter unselected the report ONLY shows rows with field Employee name empty. I created a formula like so:
if not (hasvalue(({?Zaduzioc}))) then True
else if
hasvalue({?Zaduzioc}) then
{Inventar_Model_ReportClass.ImeZaduzioca} in {?Zaduzioc} and
{Inventar_Model_ReportClass.Status} = "Aktivno"
Now this exact same formula works for me if I use it with a different report and parameter but that parameter has no empty values so I'm guessing it equates to something like if there are empty values show only those rows if not show everything.
The problem is I can't figure out how to tell it to show everything.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I managed to make it work, the problem was in the edit for the parameter I didn't set optional to true, overlooked it and as soon as I did that it all worked. So to recap for anyone with this problem: Make your parameter set optional to true, and put this in the formula for record selection:
if not (hasvalue(({?Parameter}))) then True
else if
hasvalue({?Parameter}) then
{table.column} in {?Parameter}
That should be that.
If you are selecting from a dropdown, you can add an item, Value = ALL, Description = ALL. Set your default to this value. Then in the Selection Expert, add this to your selection query:
....
AND
(IF {?Parameter} = 'ALL' THEN
{databasefield} = {databasefield}
ELSE
{databasefield} = {?Parameter})
