I'm having some issues trying to use the LEFT() function with a multi-valued parameter that allows users to select all values. In my dataset, I use the following code:
SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE AccountValue BETWEEN 10000 and 50000
AND CodeValue IN ('',100,LEFT(#Parameter,3))
Basically, the results that should be pulled in the matrix are all accounts between 10000 and 50000, that have a code value of blank, 100, or the left 3 characters of the values the user selects in the parameter. The values in the parameter are as follows: '200 - Finance', '300 - Admin', '400 - HR', etc. Code column values in the table are 100, 200, 300, 400, etc. So I use the LEFT function to split the string values of the parameter. This works fine if the user only selects one parameter. But when they select more than one or all, then it messes up the syntax of the query, returning the error "The left function requires 2 argument(s)." Any suggestions?
Everyone, managed to get around this by specifying a label and a value for the parameter in the parameter properties. The label, being what the user sees, as "Finance," "Admin," etc. Their values being the code values 001/002/etc. Then the clause for the dataset set to
WHERE CodeValue IN ('',100,#Parameter)

I need to create a Dimension (calculated field) that depends on a filter.
My dataset has four columns: ID (Int), Variable Name (String), Value (Int) and Client ID (String). For each client ID there will be a value for each type of variable.
There are 6 types of Variable Name, and for each row there is unique ID.
I'm using a filter by Variable Name so there is one, and only one variable type available at the same time.
In order to display it in a stacked bar chart by that dimension, I have created this calculation field (In reality if has six IFs, but I'll use just one to illustrated it):
IF ATTR([1 (ML_Output)].[Variable Name])= "Interest Rate" THEN [Interest Rate] END
That way, when the filter is in "Monthly Interest Rate", the ATTR function should show the only type of variable available in the Variable Name field, which would be "Monthly Interest Rate". The problem is that it shows the "Cannot mix aggregate and non-aggregate arguments with this function" error.
I've been trying to solve this with many tutorials, but none of them work for one reason of another.
Any ideas?
EDIT:
PS: The original calculation that was doing what I wanted used a Parameter. However, since parameters won't update automatically when the dataset changes, I can't use it anymore. The original calculation was:
IF [Parameter 1]="Interest Rate" THEN [Interest Rate] END
I need the calculated field as a dimension. So, if I aggregated the result of the calculation, then it would be a measure, and that can't be used to create a stacked bar.
i have a ssrs report which uses ssas data source and all of the parameter in report also come from ssas data source. the problem is parameters are acting as cascading parameters. i can not have values in parameter drop-down until i select parameter from previous drop-down.
i wanted to have default value "All" selected when report loads instead of waiting for selecting first parameter and then load subsequent?
i have removed #parameters from parameter data source and now here is how my MDX looks like:
WITH MEMBER
[Measures].[ParameterCaption] AS [Category].[Category ID].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_CAPTION MEMBER
[Measures].[ParameterValue] AS [Category].[Category ID].CURRENTMEMBER.UNIQUENAME MEMBER
[Measures].[ParameterLevel] AS [Category].[Category ID].CURRENTMEMBER.LEVEL.ORDINAL
SELECT
{
[Measures].[ParameterCaption],
[Measures].[ParameterValue],
[Measures].[ParameterLevel]
} ON COLUMNS ,
[Category].[Category ID].ALLMEMBERS
ON ROWS FROM
( SELECT ( [OwningEntity].[Entity ID] )
ON COLUMNS FROM
( SELECT ( [Organization].[Organization] ) ON COLUMNS FROM [PerformanceScores]
))
Create Additional data source , point your first parameter with default value "from query" to that data source - This parameter need to be on the top of the list as in SSRS order of parameters is important.
- Let me know if you got any problems.
Thanks

Create hidden parameter with IIF statement in default value.
in IIF put dummy date - this will not execute the report but will fill all the other parameters.
IIF(yourparameter.value="",dummydate.value,yourparameter.value)
Use this hidden parameter as your "Main" data range but default value will depend on visible parameter value in IIF statement when user can choose the range
This should work...
I have 2 datasets in my report. And I need to put a number of rows that meet a certain condition in a text box.
Here's what I have so far:
=Sum(IIF((Fields!OPEN_TIME.Value, "calls")=Parameters!Date.Value,1,0))
I get following error while running the report:
The Value expression for the text bix uses an aggregate expression without a scope. A scope is required for all aggregate used outside of a data region unless the report contains exactly one dataset
What do I miss?
Here if you are specifying a dataset name to a field like this "(Fields!OPEN_TIME.Value,"calls")" its a syntax error.. if you are using the field in a table which is assigned to dataset1 and table is assigned to dataset2 or field in a text box, then the field should be used with aggregate or "First", "Last"
Example:
first(Fields!OPEN_TIME.Value, "calls")
last(Fields!OPEN_TIME.Value, "calls")
sum(Fields!OPEN_TIME.Value, "calls")
Count(Fields!OPEN_TIME.Value, "calls") ...etc
In above scenario rather than taking a textbox, take a table with single cell assign the dataset "calls" to it then go for below expression:
=Sum(IIf(Fields!OPEN_TIME.Value = Parameters!Date.Value, 1,0))
I am trying to calculate average weighted value for each group item in my report. I used all of the suggestions at this link, but all of them give me the following error:
Warning 1 [rsAggregateOfMixedDataTypes] The Value expression for the
textrun ‘textbox134.Paragraphs[0].TextRuns[0]’ uses an aggregate
function on data of varying data types. Aggregate functions other
than First, Last, Previous, Count, and CountDistinct can only
aggregate data of a single data type.
Any suggestion for the best way to calculate weighted average. My latest attempt is this:
=iif(sum(iif(Fields!weight.Value is nothing,0,Fields!weight.Value))= 0, 0, sum(iif((Fields!myData.Value * Fields!weight.Value) is nothing,0,(Fields!myData.Value * Fields!weight.Value)))/ sum(Fields!weight.Value))
Thanks
According to the exeption description , I suspect that your field isn't set with any dataset and therefor you can calculate aggregate functions , if you using a single text box - try to use a table (use single column and delete the rows so aventually you will have a Header cell), and make sure in the table properties that you linked the right dataset to it.
About your expression, try this one insted:
=iif(sum(iif(IsNothing(Fields!weight.Value),0,Fields!weight.Value))= 0, 0, sum(iif(IsNothing(Fields!myData.Value * Fields!weight.Value),0,(Fields!myData.Value * Fields!weight.Value)))/ sum(Fields!weight.Value))
In my SSRS report there are 2 parameters called DataSourceIDList and ReporterIDlist.
DataSourceIDList : is a drop down list and this will populate based on SQL query.
ReporterIDlist : is a drop down list and this will populate reporters based on selected Datasourceid from DataSourceIDList and this is also a SQL query.
both parameters are optional fields but when i am running the report i am getting error called "Please select value for DataSourceID" but i set the property for that parameter as allow NULL values
and same problem for ReporterIDlist also.
Please suggest your suggestion....
Thanks in advance...
I think that SSRS will not allow you NULL value if parameter have datasource.
Trick that I do when I need all values that is: I change data source for parameters that is in list have
null, or ( 0) value, and option select ALL, and after that I set default value to null so users do not have to touch parameters before it call it
Something like this,
Select 1,null as ValueOfParam,'All values' as TextOfParam
union all
select 2,id,name from myDatasourceThatHaveParamValues
order by 1,name
to verify date, you can use this method too:
make two rectangle; insert table/matrix in first rectangle
in second rectangle insert msg like
"Selected Date is not valid, please select correct date"
or "Start Date should be less less than End Date"
put appropriate msg, and make condition in 1st rectangle where all tables/matrix is there
iif( Parameters!StartDate.Value < Parameters!EndDate.Value,false,true)
in second rectangle where Error msg is inserted write this:
iif( Parameters!StartDate.Value < Parameters!EndDate.Value,true,false)
