Dynamic Parameters

Hi All,

I am stuck with a report, could you please help.

I have a dynamic stored procedure, which depending on Begindate and Enddate displays columns deptname and amount (depending on the month the amount field is going to sum and display the results in the appropriate date fields), that is sum(amount) in Jan05,Feb05,Mar05......depending on the Begindate and Enddate, it's displays the values.

EX:-

Deptname Jan 05 Feb 05 Mar 05

Housing 5 5 5

Shipping 45 56 85

Handling 10 14 18

How do i incorporate this into the Report designer, because when i use this Stored procedure and create a report, i can see the values coming in the Dataset, but i don't see the Amount values coming into the Preview Page.I only see deptname coming into the Preview page.

i am building a string in the Stored procedure.(Just Letting you know)

what can i do to make the amount values be displayed under appropriate month.

Thanks,

vnswathi.

What is the output of stored procedure? It should return date, category, Quantitiy/Number (appears in dataset)

If you return those three values from stored procedure then you can use Table grouping feature in the Report desinger to build the report.

Thanks

I am getting values from the Stored procedure and also able to see the results in the Dataset on the report designer DATA page, but when it comes to laying out the Report on the report designer LAYOUT page and see the PREVIEW, that is where my problem comes.

I am able to display the Department name column but not the Amount column which i have grouped by Year and month.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

vnswathi.

If you get into Dataset then you will surely have those values in Layout/Preview pages too.

Can you verify textbox properties in the layout screen and see are you able to get dataset values there or not? Also check visibility attribute of those text fileds too?

As a simple test, you can verify this by placing a textbox and set those dataset values and see the preview.

Thanks
Murthy

|||I have a other feeling that you may doing something wrong in the Grouping section. Are you building drill-down report? If yes you have to check toggle items?|||

Ok, i was doing it right, but the only thing which i was doing wrong was using a tabluar layout.

I have used Matrix layout and it worked.

Thanks,

vnswathi.

|||Great...any idea what is going wrong with the tabular report?

hi ,

i guess i came across one such report and what i did was instead of using strings i used the BeginDate and Enddate Parameters and feed them into a function which would rip off the months and the sum up the data corresponding to the month.

month(@.BeginDate) would get u the month and then you can use Case statement to actually sum up the amount for that particular month.

i guess it more of a tedious job, but should work.

|||

yes, it works for months, but how about years.

because we know that there would be 12 Months, but you don't know the Date range.

Instead i have used Matrix layout and it worked.

Thanks,

vnswathi.

Dynamic Parameter Date Ranges

I require three parameter fields:
1.)Daterange
2.)EndDate
3.)Start Date
Selecting an option from the DateRange Parameter (eg. option = today)
automatically populates the EndDate and StartDate Fields. I also want to give
the user the option to extend the date range to one which is not defined as a
daterange option of desired by editing the EndDate and StartDate Fields.
Any help is appreciated.Hi,
I have exactly the same problem, did you found a solution?
Thanks,

parameters and the second and third parameters have an expression as the
default with the expression referencing the first parameter. I can't try
this right now but it should work.

I have tried this before but it doesnt perform as expected...
When you run your report the first time and select the first parameter the
other two dates are populated correctly, but when you change your first
parameter (date range) the other dates are not automatically changed.

you would expect. Can you try it after deploying it?

Dynamic columns

Hi,
Can a column be created dynamically in a table...
For example the user selects start date and enddate and i want to create
columns from startdate to enddate...
Thanks,
Chandra.Chandra,
The simple answer for tables is "No".
What you should be using is a matrix, the columns are dynamic on this.
