SSRS 2008 R2 Trendlines

NHSNick — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 08:19:41 +0000

I cannot find out how to add trendlines to my SSRS 2008 R2 report. TechNet http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd207034.aspx refers to a ‘Values’ area and an option to ‘Add Calculated Series’. The ‘Values’ area I see does nothing on a “Right-click” and the option to “Add Calculated Series” I cannot find anywhere.

How to configure parameters display in SSRS 2008?

SoniaA — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 11:29:26 +0000

Hi,

I know it wasn’t possible in ssrs 2005 to have parameters displayed into more than 2 columns.

My question is has it be solved in ssrs 2008r2 ? If yes, how can I do it ? If no, is there a possibility to walk around this issue ?

Many thanks,

Sonia

Using the PIVOT function

ChristinaSym — Thu, 11 Aug 2011 09:13:56 +0000

Hi there,

I’m pretty new to SQL and I’m trying to use the PIVOT function in Sequel Server 2008 R2. I’ve followed a whole bunch of examples and tutorials but just can’t quite get my syntax right.

I have a database of applications. Fields include ApplicationID, Status Description and StatusID, and the date each status was reached. I was to create a cross tab report which shows each status and the date it was reached on one row so that I can operate a DateDiff between the stages.

I cannot for the life of me figure out what is wrong with this query:

SELECT ApplicationID, DateReached, [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7] FROM

(SELECT ApplicationID, DateReached, StatusID FROM vw_ApplicationsReceived) as SourceData

PIVOT (MAX(DateReached) FOR StatusID IN [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]) AS PivotTable

Please could someone tell me whether I’m heading in the right direction? If so, what about this query is invalid?

Many thanks,

Christina

SQL Report Help

Blowinup — Tue, 31 May 2011 23:35:55 +0000

Hi I’m dave and I’m new to the forum, SQL and SSRS. Thanks in advance for your assistance and patience.

I have a recall report that produces letters for every patient who needs to return to the office on a certain date based on their recall plan (a plan that determines when they should return based on their condition).

I have another table that stores all appointments for each patients (past and present). Appointments in the recall_plans table are auto-generated whereas appointments in the appointments table where created manually. The recall plan report is not checked if a person calls in to make an appointment so often the same appointment is represented in both tables resulting in duplicate reminder letters being sent out.

I need to do two things: (I know my approach is not necessarily resolving the business problem but this is what I am tasked with)

I need to produce a list showing the next appointment for each patient but only if it is in the future.
I need to add a column to the first report showing each patient’s next appointment so someone can manually identify that duplicate letters would go out for specific patients and intervene accordingly.

Recall Report Query:

SELECT description as [Plan Name], per.first_name + ‘ ‘ + per.last_name as [Patient], substring (plan_start_date, 5,2) + ‘-’ + substring (plan_start_date, 7,2) + ‘-’ + substring (plan_start_date, 1,4) as [Plan Start Date], substring (nr.expected_return_date, 5,2) + ‘-’ + substring (nr.expected_return_date, 7,2) + ‘-’ + substring (nr.expected_return_date, 1,4) as [Expected Return Date] FROM recall_plan_mstr rp, patient_recall_plans nr, patient pt, person per WHERE rp.practice_id = nr.practice_id and rp.recall_plan_id = nr.recall_plan_id and nr.practice_id = pt.practice_id and nr.person_id = pt.person_id and per.person_id = pt.person_id and (active_plan_ind = ‘Y’) and rp.practice_id = ’0025′

Recall Report Results:

PLAN NAME PATIENT START RETURN

OFFICE VISIT W/ DR Charles Span 04-18-2011 12-15-2011

Appointments Query:

select person_id, appt_date from appointments where person_id is not null group by person_id, appt_date order by person_id, appt_date desc

Appointments Results:

073C8F83-CE15-4192-8E12-00006CB5A433 20091228 073C8F83-CE15-4192-8E12-00006CB5A433 20090510 073C8F83-CE15-4192-8E12-00006CB5A433 20090301 073C8F83-CE15-4192-8E12-00006CB5A433 20081006 378A281C-FAE7-43DF-BC03-00006E386680 20110509 378A281C-FAE7-43DF-BC03-00006E386680 20110217 378A281C-FAE7-43DF-BC03-00006E386680 20110124 378A281C-FAE7-43DF-BC03-00006E386680 20110111 378A281C-FAE7-43DF-BC03-00006E386680 20101207 816D4D31-3C99-4762-878D-000097883B73 20110316 816D4D31-3C99-4762-878D-000097883B73 20101216

Questions:

How can I produce a list from the appointments table that results with one patient per row with only the latest appointment that is in the future? Do I need to write a cursor for that?
How can I comingle this list into my recall report so it has a column to the right of return column that displays the patient’s next appointment date (future only)?

Both tables have a person number GUID.

I hope i have adequately explained and provided enough information. If any additional information is needed please don’t hesitate to ask.

Thanks, dave

SSRS Report switch for Operational DB to DWH

An279505 — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 14:43:45 +0000

We currently are running a large report off of the operational DB but in turn used this report to create a DWH in order to get this report to run faster. Before we used a stored procedure with many smaller queries that summed our numbers. Since we have the DWH that stores all this needed data in one or two fact tables (the operational DB is highly normalized) is it better in terms of performance to create one sql statement that pulls these flags on each row (i.e. Gender – F, M, NULL) and then do a sum on the report side by using group by’s or is it a better idea to sum all the numbers in the SQL statement and just throw these summed amounts into individual text boxes?

This is the first Data Warehouse I have ever created or even seen and I am just trying to figure out the capability of this with the use of SSRS. If you need any more specifics or have further questions I can give further detail. Thanks so much!

When exported to Excel, some data is hidden from view by the row heigth. Rows must be expanded to view. Please suggest me a nice solution so that if the data is more than the single line, it has to expand the row height.

SSRS 2008 from SSRS 2005, Authentication

MrPryor — Tue, 19 Oct 2010 10:32:56 +0000

Currently I am running a 2005 SSRS Website, and 7/9 of my
reports are done in 2005, and when I try access the 2 reports in 2008, it prompts
me to enter my user name and password again, with this converter, will it solve
this issue? I need a solution to get around the authentication of 2008 (with
its extra level of authentication) which is not in 2005 SSRS, will this help
with this issue, I have looked everywhere and there doesn’t seem to be a
solution to this problem.

How to make a graph always visible when there is no data?

Zhounan — Tue, 05 Oct 2010 08:52:46 +0000

Hi,
I am currently creating a report in SSRS which contains many tables including a graph on one page. The formatting is nice generally, but when there is no data in the graph, everything will be different. So, I am trying to keep the graph always visible to keep the formatting. Is that possible?
Thanks,
Joe
