this should be a simple thing but I've spent hours to no avail. Basically, I need to look up a salesrep # in a SQL database using the user's Window's user id. The format of the user id is
"Norstar\kjones" and I need the "kjones" portion of it.
using the split function, I am able to pull just the 'kjones' part out:
split(User!UserID,"\").GetValue(1)
I've created a parameter called SlsmnNum and created a dataset to be used to look up the salesrep # using the user id (the slsm_num field is a varchar, not an integer):
select slsm_num from Salesman_Msid where slsm_msid = ''' + split(User!UserID,"\").GetValue(1) + '''
However, I get no results. How can I get the select to work?
alternatively, I tried the following:
in parameter SlsmnNum, I set the default to an expression using:
split(User!UserID,"\").GetValue(1) and this returns 'kjones', as expected.
I created a SECOND parameter (which is positioned BELOW the SlsmnNum parameter), SlsmnNum2, that has a default (and an available) value using a query, which is a dataset containing the following select statement:
select slsm_num from Salesman_Msid where slsm_msid = (#SlsmnNum)
When I run the query on the Data tab, when I type in 'kjones' into the parameter box, it returns '1366', the salesrep # I'm expecting.
But, when I Preview the report, all I get in SlsmnNum2 box is Select a Value and nothing is there (it should return '1366').
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Try your first approach with Query Text as
="select slsm_num from Salesman_Msid where slsm_msid = '" & split(User!UserID,"\").GetValue(1) & "'"

I have the correct result coming back. I just need to convert 6 abbreviations in that result to their correct names. There are 20k names assigned to 1 of 6 abbreviated names.
I tried aliasing but that seems to only work for table names.
I tried doing a case statement but that didn't work.
You need to provide more details (like some sample input and output), but if you have data like EM100, and you want to make it EMPLOYEE 100, then you could use an expression such as:
CASE WHEN ColumnName like 'EM%' THEN 'EMPLOYEE ' + SUBSTRING (ColumnName,3,100)
WHEN ColumnName like 'RN%' THEN 'REGNURSE' + SUBSTRING (ColumnName,3,100)
else ColumnName END
But providing more details will help provide a more specific answer.
I'm calling a procedure using a lookup activity in Azure Data Factory.
NOTE: The reason to use Lookup here is, I wanted to store the OUTPUT parameter value from procedure into a variable in ADF for future use.
Below works,
DECLARE #ADFOutputMsg [VARCHAR](500);
EXEC Test.spAsRunTVA #ReportDate = '2022-06-01', #OutputMsg = #ADFOutputMsg OUTPUT;
SELECT #ADFOutputMsg As OutputMsg;
But when I want to pass dynamic parameters, it doesn't like,
DECLARE #ADFOutputMsg [VARCHAR](500);
EXEC #{pipeline().parameters.SchemaName}.spAsRunTVA #ReportDate = #{substring(pipeline().parameters.FileName,8,10)}, #OutputMsg = ADFOutputMsg OUTPUT;
SELECT #ADFOutputMsg As OutputMsg;
I also tried to keep the date As-Is and just updated SchemaName to be dynamic but I still get the error.
Please Provide single quote ' ' at your dynamic content
'#{substring(pipeline().parameters.FileName,8,10)}'
I tried to reproduce similar kind of approach in my environment and I got below results:
Use the below dynamic content in the query with lookup activity. and also Added dynamic content with single quotes ' '
select * from for_date where date1='#{string(pipeline().parameters.Date)}'
Added Date Parameter
Got this Output:
I have a report having 2 parameters carton and location.
Suppose if I didn't gave any value among those then it should give all values.
So created 2 command level parameters.Its showing all values whenever I didnt gave any values in parameters.
But even If I gave some value in either carton or location but still its showing all values.
Please suggest what is the problem
SELECT
crt.carton_no, crtd.part_no, SUM(crtd.quantity) AS quantity,
crtd.barcode, crtd.item_description
, crt.put_away_location AS putAway
FROM
carton crt, carton_details crtd
WHERE
crt.carton_id = crtd.carton_id
AND crt.status = 'N' AND
( crt.carton_no like '{?cartonno}' or '{?cartonno}' like '%' ) and (crt.put_away_location LIKE '{?location}' or '{?location}' like '%')
GROUP BY
crt.carton_no, crtd.carton_id, crtd.part_no
ORDER BY
crt.put_away_location, crt.carton_no
I guess your query is always taking true ignoring or condition... try using Case
where
CASE WHEN {?cartonno} Like ""
THEN
'{?cartonno}' like '%'
ELSE
crt.carton_no like '{?cartonno}'
END
Note: I don't know which database you are using above is just an example of SQL... you can change it as required and use similarly for other parameter in where clause
I have a report that is required to accept number ranges and comma delimited values in a text field parameter. The parameter is for 'Account Type' and they want to be able to enter "1,2,5-9" and that will take integer values of 1,2,5,6,7,8,9. I know how to do this with a single value but never with a range.
The example code I would use for a single value is:
SELECT
arcu.vwARCUAccount.AccountType
,arcu.vwARCUAccount.ACCOUNTNUMBER
FROM
arcu.vwARCUAccount
WHERE
arcu.vwARCUAccount.AccountType = #AccountType
Any information would be extremely helpful. Someone on my team already estimated it and said it could be done without even realising that they wanted a range so now I am stuck figuring it out. I bet everyone here has been in my position so I thank everyone in advance.
There are several things you want to do.
A. Set up a parameter that is data type 'integer' and ensure you select the checkbox 'Allow multiple values'. Set it's value to be 'Ints'. Hit okay for now.
This essentially set up an array available list of a data set that you define for that type of data type that can be passed more than one dataset.
B. Create a simple dataset called 'values' that is like so
declare #Ints table ( id int);
insert into #Ints values (1),(2),(5),(6),(7),(8),(9)
C. Go back to your variable in step one and open up it's properties. Select 'Available Values' on the side pane. Choose radio button 'Get values from a query'. List your data set as 'values' and your value and label to be 'id'.
You have now bound your parameter array to values you specified. However a user DOES NOT have to just choose one or all of these but choose one or many of them.
D. You need to set up your main dataset(which I assume you already did before coming here). For the purpose of my example I will make a simple one up. I create a dataset called person:
declare #Table Table ( personID int identity, person varchar(8));
insert into #Table values ('Brett'),('Brett'),('Brett'),('John'),('John'),('Peter');
Select *
from #Table
where PersonID in (#Ints)
The important part is the predicate showing:
'where PersonID in (#Ints)'
This tells the dataset that it is dependent on the user to select a value in this array parameter.
I'm not completely proficient with tsql but what about using reg expressions?
See LIKE (Transact-SQL)
Such as:
arcu.vwARCUAccount.AccountType like '[' + replace(#AccountType, ',','') + ']'
This could work. As a broud brush try:
Remove the filter of the account type from the tsql.
Create a vb function that inputs a number, this being the account type, and tests to see if it is in the parameter string supplied by the user and outputs a 1 or 0. Vb Functions
Function test(byval myin as integer, byval mylimits as string) as integer
'results as 1 or 0
dim mysplit as string()= Split(mylimits, ",")
dim mysplit2 as string(1)
'look through all separated by a ","
For Each s As String In mysplit
'does there exists a range, i.e. "-"?
if s like "%-%" then
mysplit2 = split(s, "-")
'is the value between this range?
if myin >= mysplit(0) andalso myin <= mysplit(1) then
return 1
end if
'is the value equal to the number?
elseif s = myin then
return 1
end if
Next s
return 0
End
3. Create a filter on the dataset using the vb function with the account type as the input equal to 1.
=code.test(Fields!AccountType.Value, Paramaters!MyPar.Value)
I currently want to get a value from a form to set it in an SQL query I make in a module under Access using VBA. I tried to use
value = Forms![NameOfForm]![NameOfTextbox]
sqlquery = "...." & value & "....."
It make an error (2450) saying it cannot found the specified form. How can I get the value of this textbox so I could use it in my module?
Thx
Modify your VBA code to ensure the form is open.
DoCmd.OpenForm "NameOfForm"
That should prevent error #2450.
Afterwards, you don't need to store the value of [NameOfTextbox] to a variable, then use that variable to build your SQL statement. You can use its value directly.
sqlquery = "SELECT * FROM YourTable " & _
"WHERE some_field = '" & Forms![NameOfForm]![NameOfTextbox] & "';"
Or embed a reference to the textbox itself (instead of the textbox's value) in the query.
sqlquery = "SELECT * FROM YourTable " & _
"WHERE some_field = Forms![NameOfForm]![NameOfTextbox];"
I assumed some_field is a text data type field, so enclosed the textbox value with single quotes in the first query example. Notice the second example doesn't need the quotes because it refers to the textbox by name rather than its value.
However, should you continue with your original approach (storing the textbox value to a variable), don't name your variable "value" because value can be confused with a property of many objects.
