I want to use SQL Report Builder to create a column chart based on this data:
The diagram should look like in the picture and can be easily generated with Excel.
But how do I create the chart with SQL Report Builder?
I can manage with one department with these settings:
Current result for one department:
Excel was used for illustration purposes only. The data comes from a MS SQL Server 2016 with SSRS installed.
This will be much easier if you normalise your data. How you do that is up to you but based on your sample data, I just used an UNPIVOT to get the data into a sensible format.
Here's the dataset query I used to reproduce and unpivot your sample data
DECLARE #t TABLE(Costs varchar(20), Dev float, Sales float, AfterSales float)
INSERT INTO #t VALUES
('Actual', 23347.48, 66691.95, 8981.62),
('Expected', 20000, 30000, 70000),
('Target', 5000, 15000, 5000)
SELECT * FROM #t
unpivot
(
Amount FOR Dept IN (Dev, Sales, AfterSales)
) as up
This gives us the following output
Now all we need to do is setup the chart as follows...
And the result looks like this...

I have a table with date and time data like below.
I want to collect the data of employee/section/date/time window wise min and max date/time which are bold in the above table. Below table is the result that I want to derive from the above table.
Is there any SQL query options are available to get this?
Thanks in Advance
You can use min,maxandgroup by` functions for your desired result:
select EmpId,Section,min(EntryTime)MinEntryTime,Max(EntryTime)MaxEntryTime
from yourtable
group by EmpId,Section
Is it possible to generate multiple charts based on changing parameter in select list of query using pipelined table? There are four parameters (ID, account number, date from, date to).
Sql query looks like this:
select * from table(days_of_being_late_pkg.f_days_late_calendar(
i_cli_id => (Select id from clients where id_num = :CHOICE_ID)
,i_acc_num => **:ACC_NUM**
,i_date_from => :CALENDAR_FROM
,i_date_to => :CALENDAR_TO
));
The task is to create a line chart based on above parameters and it works if I select the acc_num from select list, but the other part of the task is to generate multiple charts when the acc_num is not selected, taking as many acc_num parameters as there are for particular i_cli_id.
The chart shows how many days client is being late.
I hope it was clear enough.
Thank you in advance,

I am working with iReport Designer and want to ask how can I calculate an average sum of a column based on a date?
I am working on a report which has a database containing a table two columns: 1st is "sample_time" which has DATE values and the second is a "watt" which has an int value.
What I want to do is take the "watt" column and show it as average on the report (which I can do), and then show the same column "watt", but from averages based on the dates from the other "sample_time" column.
Lets say I have the dates from 2008-01-01 to 2008-01-20 and I want to do a weekly average, lets say from 01-01 to 01-07, how can I do that?
Well, i think this can get easily achieved using JasperReports Groups. You can create a group based on you sample_time column, and calculate the average for each group (which means, for each date, its just like doing a group by on a SQL query). Here there are two quick tutorials:
JasperReports Groups || The Groups
A friend told me that his new employer needs an SSRS report that parse a column that contains n consecutive occurrences of
1) the literal "Date:"
2) An optional separator character
3) followed by a date in DD-MM-YY format (leading zeros are optional)
4) a separator space
5) A single "WORD" of data that is associated with the date. This word will have no embedded spaces.
I'll populate a Sample table with data that meets this critera to give you an example to make it clear:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Sample](
[RowNumber] [int] NOT NULL,
[DataMess] [varchar](max) NOT NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
INSERT [dbo].[Sample] ([RowNumber], [DataMess]) VALUES (1, N'Date:12-21-13 12/13/14/15 Date:4-2-11 39/12/134/14 Date:4-1-13 19/45/5/12')
INSERT [dbo].[Sample] ([RowNumber], [DataMess]) VALUES (2, N'Date:7-21-13 12/13/14/15 Date:8-21-12 39/12/34/14 Date:12-1-13 19/4/65/12')
INSERT [dbo].[Sample] ([RowNumber], [DataMess]) VALUES (3, N'Date:3-21-13 12/11233/14/15 Date:4-28-13 39/12/34/14 Date:9-19-13 19/45/65/12')
For the first record, "12/13/14/15" is considered to be the "Word" of data that is associated with the Date 12-21-13.
He was aked to produce the following report in SSRS:
Row Number DataMess
1 Date: 12-21-13 12/13/14/15
Date: 4-1-13 19/45/5/12
Date: 4-2-11 39/12/134/14
2 Date:12-1-13 19/4/65/12
Date:7-21-13 12/13/14/15
Date:8-21-12 39/12/34/14
3 Date:9-19-13 19/45/65/12
Date:4-28-13 39/12/34/14
Date:3-21-13 12/11233/14/15
Note that the Dates for each source row number are sorted in descending arder alomng with the associated wor of data.
I don't know SSRS, but my reaction was to recommend to him that he not even attempt the task but to tell his employer that the data shouldn't really be trying to do all of that ugly string parsing with T-SQL. Instead this repeating "Date: DATA" should be stored in individual child records that are associated with a parent Row record. I believe that the code would be ugly, inefficient, brittle and hard to maintain. What are your thoughts?
Assuming that management\client is always right or to conceed that "ideally" this is correct, but "for now" we need a SQL that produces the following report, how would one do this? The expectation was that this can be produced quickly ( a half day, for example)
You are of course correct, it's certainly far from the best way of storing the data. Any way of extracting the data for this report will be much more complex than it would be if it was stored differently.
However, based on the data it still wouldn't be too tough to actually generate the report. Due to the table structure actually generating the dataset for the report would be the hardest part.
So to generate the dataset, you need to split the data in DataMess to get one row per Date/Word, and be able to extract the date from that split data to be able to order by date as required.
Take your pick on how you want to split the data:
Split function equivalent in T-SQL? has many options, as does this link - Best Split Function.
Here's a SQL Fiddle with one of the functions in action.
Once you've split the data, use the appropriate function to extract the date portion, i.e. between the colon and the space before the word data, then CAST this as a date.
Once you've actually got the dataset, it's the most trivial of reports - just add a row group based on RowNumber, add the split Date/Word data as a detail field and you're done. Make sure the dataset is ordered by the extracted date field, even though you don't actually display this in the report.
As an interim measure I would certainly expect this to be doable in half a day of work or so. So for just this report it's not too bad, but for anything else you'll probably have trouble.
For a few rows it will likely run fine, but on any non-trivial sized dataset performance will be suboptimal.
Thank you. Here's what I did for the remaining part to get the dates sorted in DESC order.
SELECT
RowNumber
,'Date: ' + ss.Item AS Data
--,cast(substring(ss.Item, 1, charindex(' ' , ss.Item) ) AS date)
FROM
Sample s
CROSS apply dbo.SplitStrings_XML(s.DataMess,
N'Date:') ss
WHERE
Item IS NOT NULL
ORDER BY
rownumber,
cast(substring(ss.Item, 1, charindex(' ' , ss.Item) ) AS date) desc
If the data fails to hold up to this expected format and we encounter a date that is not valid, then the whole report blows up.
I'm trying to create a report that will contain two pie charts. I get the data for the report from SQL.
Currently, I created a dataset for the first chart which holds records with the following fields: Import ID, Date, Status. This dataset contains duplicate records.
For the second chart, I need the same data I have in the first dataset, only without duplications and aggregated differently.
I realize that I can create another dataset that will get the distinct values from the SQL database, but I was wondering if there was a way to use the built-in filtering functionality to filter out the dataset I already have to return only distinct values (based on ID field).
Looking at the options in the following filtering dialog, I see no obvious way to do this:
If ID is not unique and your 1st query looks like this:
select ImportID, Date, Status
from YourTableSource
WHERE YourConditions
Then you probably should use for your 2nd query form like this:
select DISTINCT ImportID, Status
from YourTableSource
WHERE YourConditions
If changing the query is not an option ,then you may create the Group in ssrs with invisible DETAIL pane and place the ID and Status fiels in int Group pane
