I am using SQL Server. I have 2 columns Passed students and Failed Students in my database.
How to write a query which displays both these columns along with a third column which is Total Students which displays the sum of the entries in the row?
EDIT
It is not allowing me to ask another question.So,posting it here:
I have a hyperlink field in my gridview as below:
[Please refer comment for the code.For some reason it doesn't get posted here.]
Its basically a runId.When I click on this hyperlink I am redirected to a page called RunAnalysis.I want to access the value of the runId which was clicked in this page.
I was thinking of using query string but there is no event as far as I know that is fired on click of the hyperlink.
My question is how do I access the runId value in this page ? Can someone tell me if some event is fired so that I can send a query string.
Thanks.
You haven't given a lot of background information so I am assuming many things in my response.
Here is a simple aggregated result set:
SELECT SUM(Passed) AS [Passed],SUM(Failed) AS [Failed],COUNT(*) AS [TotalStudents]
FROM dbo.Students
Now if there is some grouping you want to do then you would add a GROUP BY clause like so...
I'm creating a new column because I don't know your schema:
SELECT GradeLevel, SUM(Passed) AS [Passed],SUM(Failed) AS [Failed],COUNT(*) AS [TotalStudents]
FROM dbo.Students
GROUP BY GradeLevel
ORDER BY GradeLevel

Currently my dropdownlist returns a value that I use in a SQL WHERE clause to return a result set. I would like to be able to just move to the selected record as oppose to filtering the whole set. When I filter I am no longer able to page through the records (I can only choose another search selection from the dropdownlist because there are no other records to page through - I would like to use both). What is the best way to achieve this?
being a newbie to SSRS, I am trying to figure out the following:
say for instance I have a dataset which does a :
SELECT [cols...] from [some view]
I want to be able to further filter this based on parameters given from an ASP.NET site (I am using the AJAX control toolkit for the report viewer). There could be x amount of parameters and potentially can be filtered on 1 or more columns.
First question is, how would I filter the dataset and pass along the parameters along with which field the filter should apply to? I may have [col1] and I want to filter it with x values.
Second question Is, I want to be able to group the results per page based upon a column. So for each grouped result set, I want them to be displayed per page (per group per page).
Then on the headers of the page, I want it to display what the page grouping is. How would I do this?
In terms of what have I tried - nothing as I DO NOT KNOW HOW, it is why I am asking the question here to see what the experts (you) can suggest and guide me.
thank you!
To do this you can create Parameters in SSRS, they do not need to be in your query or anything. Then, go to your tablix and click either ROW or column depending on the filter type and set it show/hide visibility. For example I have a report that has personal information, so i have true/false parameter that hides/shows those columns, similar I have one that hides/shows any row with a -1 for the total paid.
I have a form that submits parameters to a query, then opens the resulting record in another form. The problem is, whenever there is more than one record it automatically puts the first one into the from without any kind of option to choose the record I want. I have a macro set up on the search button on the first form that submits the parameters to the query and then displays it in the second form, I've tried to set up another macro in between the two, but I don't know if it's possible to set up the expression creator to check the number of rows resulting from a query. Is it possible to modify the query to create a prompt to choose which record I want? Or should I change something else?
This is the query:(automatically created by access)
SELECT CHILD.CHILD_L_NAME, CHILD.CHILD_F_NAME, CHILD.DOB, CHILD.GENDER, CHILD.DAYS_IN_CARE,
CHILD.HOURS_PER_DAY, CHILD.ENROLLMENT_DATE, CHILD.CHILD_ADDRESS, CHILD.CHILD_CITY,
CHILD.CHILD_ZIP, CHILD.CHILD_STATE, CHILD.CLASSROOM, CHILD.SNACK, CHILD.LAST_UPDATED, CHILD.CIN
FROM CHILD
WHERE (((CHILD.CHILD_L_NAME)=[Forms]![Search]![L_NAME]) AND
((CHILD.CHILD_F_NAME)=[Forms]![Search]![F_NAME])) OR
(((CHILD.CHILD_L_NAME)=[Forms]![Search]![L_NAME]) AND
((CHILD.DOB)=[Forms]![Search]![DOB])) OR
(((CHILD.DOB)=[Forms]![Search]![DOB])) OR
(((CHILD.CHILD_L_NAME)=[Forms]![Search]![L_NAME]));
If I understood well your problem and you use VBA it's quite easy to do.
You can create a reduced query based on the query you're creating with the button. This new query should include all and only the fields that allows you to discriminate beetwen the records to show in the 2nd form.
For instance it could include LastName, FirstName and classroom to select between children with same full name.
You can count the number of records of this 2nd query and if greater than 1 it means that you have more than one children to show.
So you can use this 2nd query to populate a combo-box or a listbox for selecting the record you really want to show.
When number of records is 1 you can simply skip the listbox population using an if statement on recordcount.
Next step is opening the form with the selected (or unique) record.

I am trying to create a report putting a field called contact which has the name of a person. This name is linked directly to another table where I keep all the contacts.
For some strange reason, when I include this name (which in query view displays as the name of the contact), instead of the name appearing, the unique ID number is shown on my report.
As mentioned in the article cited in the above comment, you can use a Combo Box control on your report to do the lookup for you. To see how this can be done, create a new report based on the table containing the lookup field, then drag and drop that field onto the report. That will create a Combo Box control with properties that look something like this:
Row Source: SELECT [Clients].[ID], [Clients].[LastName] FROM Clients;
Bound Column: 1
Column Count: 2
Column Widths: 0";1"
You could use a similar Combo Box control on your actual report to display the client's name rather than their numeric ID value.
Another alternative would be to change the Control Source of the report's Text Box control to have it do a DLookUp() on the table. If the lookup field is named [client] then changing the Control Source of the Text Box to something like
=DLookUp("LastName","Clients","ID=" & [client])
would also work.
I wanted to add to the great answer by Gord:
When using a "web" database (started in Access 2007 I think), you cannot change a report's fields to ComboBox style, nor can you use DLookUp(). (web databases lack a ton of features)
The workaround for this, if you want to create a Web-Report that uses lookup fields, is to create a Web-Query first based on your Web-Table (all the Web-* stuff has a www planet icon over the logo, if you create a new Web-DB in Access 2007+ you'll see what I mean)
So, instead of Table -> Report, you'll have to do W-Table -> W-Query -> W-Report.
Then, the only thing you need to customize to get the data right is the W-Query. Start by trying to reproduce the look in the query to match what you want users to see in the report. Note that here in the query, lookups will work fine (instead of the unique ID's, you get field names like you want). However, this will not carry over to the report. To do that, you gotta get the actual text field name you want into the query:
You should already have one table in your query; start by adding the table that your first lookup field points to. For example, the table I want to print is called Stock_Boards, and it has a lookup field called PCBID_lookup that points to the table Stock_PCBs.
Since you're using lookup fields, there should already be a relationship line between the two tables when you add the second one. If there isn't, something has gone horribly wrong.
Now, see how that line connects two fields on the two different tables? For example, I've got my PCBID_lookup field on my Stock_Boards table, which connects to the ID field on my Stock_PCBs table. If I created a report from this now, PCBID_lookup would be a number, a number that correlates to the ID of a record on Stock_PCBs.
To fix it, I will add the name field I want to show up on the report. In my example, that happens to be a Part Number, rather than the ID. I add the PartNumber field from my Stock_PCBs table to the query, and remove the PCBID_lookup field of the Stock_Boards table from my query.
Since PartNumber is what I want to show up on my report, it effectively replaces the original field (PCBID_lookup)
Repeat for all lookup fields you want in your report.
I had 1 more: I removed the Status field of the Stock_Boards table (which was an ID/Lookup) and added the 'Status' field from the Status table (which was the actual text name)
When finished, your query should look exactly how you want the data to appear, without any special tricks or asking Access to do something unnatural. Save your query, and create a web-report from it. Done!
I am writing a web application that is used for tracking and entering some everyday user data... Every day I need to enter some data for multiple users manually...
I will choose the date with the calendar, and for that date I will get DB values assigned for all users on chosen date...If there are some entries in database for that date i will display it in gridview...
Here is the look of gridview for chosen date...
USERS DATA
------------
User1 Data1
User2 Data2
User3 Data3
But, if I choose the date for which there are no entries in DB, I would like to display the gridview containg User names in each row, but I want the second column (DATA field) to be initially editable for ALL rows (the whole second column should contain textboxes for inserting values, not only selected row as in standard editable gridview mode) allowing inserting of wanted values...
I want it to look something like this
USERS DATA
----------------
User1 TextBox
User2 TextBox
User3 TextBox
My idea is to get Users list from DB and create a datatable with first column containg returned user names, and second column empty... This datatable will be datasource for gridview in which I am going to disable editing mode, and in normal (displaying) mode I am going to have TemplateField containg of textboxes bound to that datatable in second column, and labels displaying usernames in first column... When entering all values there will be SAVE button who is calling a method that will read entered values from datatable and save it to database...
Is there a better way to implement this functionality? If Templatefield textboxes are bound to datatable (as gridview datasource) textboxes entered values are going to be accessible from datable object, but Save button click causes postback, and I don't know how to preserve datatable state? Is there a better way to get wanted gridview with whole second column availibe for inserting new values?
Thank you in advance for your help & time!

I would retrieve the full dataset using a left join in the database, and if there is no entry for a user, that user will be returned with a blank value. Something like this:
select users.user,
isnull(entries.entry,'')
from users
left join entries on users.userid = entries.userid
I think you can override the OnDataBinding (or OnDataBound) method to check and see if the second column is empty, and place the field in edit mode if it is. This way, if some users have entries but some don't, only the users with no entry will be in edit mode. Any user with an entry will be in display mode.
