ssrs expression to split string possible? - ssrs-2008

so in my query i have select columnx from tblz
it returns 001.255556.84546
I want to be able to split this via '.' and put it into three columns.
column1 = 001
column2 = 255556
column3 = 84576
is this possible?

For info, in 2008 these dont work, you have to do the following:
=Split(Fields!returnedValue.Value, ".").GetValue(0)

Create three calculated fields with the following expressions:
=(Split(Fields!columnx.Value, ".")).GetValue(0)
=(Split(Fields!columnx.Value, ".")).GetValue(1)
=(Split(Fields!columnx.Value, ".")).GetValue(2)
I'm not sure it works or not, maybe give it a try. You might need to use IIF() statement to check values before getting them.

In SSRS you reference the field name, tell it the delimiter to use. Since you are not assigning to a variable, per se, you then need to tell it which part of the split string to use. In your example
=Split(Fields!returnedValue.Value,".")(0)
=Split(Fields!returnedValue.Value,".")(1)
=Split(Fields!returnedValue.Value,".")(2)
You would replace returnedValue with whatever the actual field name is, and place each one of those into your columns 1 - 3, respectively.

This answer was originally posted in the question instead of being posted as an answer:
=(Split(Fields!columnx.Value,".")).GetValue(0)
=(Split(Fields!columnx.Value,".")).GetValue(1)
=(Split(Fields!columnx.Value,".")).GetValue(2)

I need to change the output of a query so that instead of it coming back as the abbreviation 'em' it says 'employee'. Tsql

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.

string match and remove each row in a postgresql

So in short:
I need to find all rows in the column Translation that begin with the letter M (M123 is one of the Prefixes) and then I need to remove the M123 and similar prefixes from all the rows.
For example, row 1 contains the following data:
M123 - This is translated from Spanish to English
And I need to remove the M123 - from the mentioned data. And this I need to do for the Translation column in every row in the table.
It's been a while since I actually did some SQL-Queries. So I tried a WHERE clause to find all the M prefixes but my query returns an empty search. Following is the query I am using atm:
SELECT Translation from Translation_Table where Translation like 'M';
I am a little bit confused right now. So any help is appreciated.
I sense that you might be wanting to do an update here, rather than a select:
UPDATE Translation_Table
SET Translation = REGEXP_REPLACE(Translation, 'M[0-9]+', '')
WHERE Translation ~ '^M[0-9]+';
addition to this answer following query will remove all occurence of M[any length of a number]
UPDATE Translation_Table
SET Translation = REGEXP_REPLACE(Translation, '[M[:digit:]]', '', 'g')
WHERE Translation ~ '.M[0-9]*';

AEM CQ5 Query Builder: How to get result by searching for 2 different values in same property?

I want to get result matches with all nodes contains property 'abc' value as 'xyz' or 'pqr'.
I am trying in below ways:
http://localhost:4502/bin/querybuilder.json?path=/content/campaigns/asd&property=abc&property.1_value=/%xyz/%&property.2_value=/%pqr/%property.operation=like&p.limit=-1&orderby:path
http://localhost:4502/bin/querybuilder.json?path=/content/campaigns/asd&property=abc&property.1_value=/%xyz/%&property.2_value=/%pqr/%&property.1_operation=like&property.2_operation=like&p.limit=-1&orderby:path
http://localhost:4502/bin/querybuilder.json?path=/content/campaigns/asd&1_property=abc&1_property.1_value=/%xyz/%&1_property.1_operation=like&2_property=abc&1_property.1_value=/%xyz/%&2_property.1_operation=like&p.limit=-1&orderby:path
But none of them served my purpose. Any thing that I am missing in this?
The query looks right and as such should work. However if it is just xyz or pqr you would like to match in the query, you may not need the / in the values.
For eg.
path=/content/campaigns/asd
path.self=true //In order to include the current path as well for searching
property=abc
property.1_value=%xyz%
property.2_value=%abc%
property.operation=like
p.limit=-1
Possible things which you can check
Check if the path that you are trying to search contains the desired nodes/properties.
Check if the property name that you are using is right.
If you want to match exact values, you can avoid using the like operator and remove the wild cards from the values.
You can actually use the 'OR' operator in your query to combine two or more values of a property.
For example in the query debug interface : http:///libs/cq/search/content/querydebug.html
path=/content/campaigns/asd
property=PROPERTY1
property.1_value=VALUE1
property.2_value=VALUE2
property.operation=OR
p.limit=-1
It worked with below query:
http://localhost:4502/bin/querybuilder.json?orderby=path
&p.limit=-1
&path=/content/campaigns
&property=jcr:content/par/nodeName/xyz
&property.1_value=pqr
&property.2_value=%abc%
&property.operation=like
&type=cq:Page
Note: property name should be fully specified form the type of node we are expecting.
Ex: jcr:content/par/nodeName/xyz above instead of just xyz

T-SQL SELECT Statment to Exclude Text Between ( And ) Without Update or Variables

I'm wondering if this is possible, I have a messy set of first name data to work with, and it's shared by other applications so I don't want to run any update statements. But the data will sometime include an AKA such as:
Robert (AKA Bob)
And I am trying to get a clean data where it just says "Robert".
One way I thought of is to use a temp table then CHARINDEX for ( and ) then REPLACE what's between ( and ). This seems like a long winded way to do this.
Is there a smarter way?
EDIT: More examples of the data hell. Sometimes the parenthesis comes in the front or mixed up such as:
(Bill) William
Richard (Dick) Jr.
Untested:
FirstName = case when charindex('(AKA', FirstName) = 0
then FirstName
else substring(FirstName, 1, charindex('(AKA', FirstName)) end
If the noisy string pattern is unpredictable, better to use SQL CLR TVF(table value function), utilize C# code regex. Taking an xml as input parameter, which includes data you need to process, return a table with data processed.
Pieter got the ball rolling for me! Thank you for getting me started on the right track!
SELECT
CASE WHEN FirstName like '%)%'
THEN REPLACE(FirstName,
SUBSTRING(FirstName,CHARINDEX('(',FirstName),CHARINDEX(')',FirstName)-CHARINDEX('(',FirstName)+1),'')
ELSE FirstName END

Crystal Formula to exclude if value does not contain a certain format

I'm trying to exclude any value from a certain field (table.value) that does not match this format AA#####A. Example if they entered APT12345T, or PT12345PT and No Value then I want to exclude it from the report. It needs to match example AP12345P. What selection formula can I use to accomplish this.
Any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance.
try reading Crystal's help topics on the mid() and isnumeric() functions.
here's an example from the help file:
Examples The following example is applicable to both Basic and Crystal
syntax:
Mid("abcdef", 3, 2)
Returns "cd".
so, in your case, you want to strip your value into three pieces,
mid(table.value,1,2)
mid(table.value,3,5)
mid(table.value,8,1)
and build up a three-part boolean variable where:
the first piece is not numeric(), or between 'AA' and 'ZZ', or however
else you want to test for letters,
the second part isnumeric(), and
the third part passes the same test as the first part.
where are you getting stuck?
something like this:
not isnumeric(mid({table.field},1,2)) and
isnumeric(mid({table.field},3,5) and
not isnumeric(mid({table.field},8,1))
