I am new to Talend and I have a very simple task of bringing in a Salesforce "contact" table into the database. To begin with testing, I only have the tSalesforceInput and tLogRow components (as per screenshot - left activated sub job) and I am only selecting "accountId" in the SOQL.
"SELECT AccountId
FROM contact
WHERE AccountId != null
LIMIT 1000"
This returns a log output of 1000 AccountIds fine (as in screenshot - below).
I then introduced the tConvertType component (as per screenshot - right activated sub job) and I lost all output (log output returns 1000 rows with null values). I did not introduce any datatype casting in the convert component yet.
Would really appreciate some inputs on what could be happening. Thanks!
I was actually making a mistake of not selecting the "cast" method in the tConvertType component properties. I selected "Auto Cast" here and then in the "Edit schema" option, changed datatypes to what I want. Newbie mistakes :)

(Opening the following on behalf of a Snowflake client...)
When I try to insert into the table it threw below error:
Numeric value 'abc_0011O00001y31VpQAI' is not recognized
Have check the table DDL and found only 3 columns defined as NUMBER and rest as VARCHAR.
I checked the SELECT query and didnot find any string value in those NUMBER Datatype columns. Also tried searching in all the Varchar columns for the value 'abc_0011O00001y31VpQAI' , I didn't find any
I know one thing Snowflake doesn't always shows correct error. Am I missing anything here? Is there any way to fix it?
Both COL4_MRR and COL5_QUANTITY are NUMBER
INSERT INTO TABLE
(COL1_DATE, COL2_CD, COL3_CUST_NAME, COL3_LOC_NAME,COL4_MRR,COL5_QUANTITY)
SELECT
'2019-10-03' AS COL1_DATE ,
'AE' AS COL2_CD
,CUSTOMER_NAME AS COL3_CUST_NAME
,LOCATION_NAME AS COL3_LOC_NAME
,MRR_BILLED as COL4_MRR
,QTY_BILLED as COL5_QUANTITY
FROM SCHEMA.V_TABLEA
union all
SELECT
'2019-10-03' AS COL1_DATE ,
'BE' AS COL2_CD
,CUSTOMER_NAME AS COL3_CUST_NAME
,LOCATION_NAME AS COL3_LOC_NAME
,NULL as COL4_MRR
,QTY_BILLED as COL5_QUANTITY
FROM SCHEMA.V_TABLEB
I created a table_D same as original TABLE and tried inserting into it , it worked fine . Then Inserted into Original TABLE from table_D , it worked again .
Deleted those rows from original TABLE and reran the job , it worked fine.
There was no issue with data as all was Number only, I even tried with TRY_TO_NUMBER too. It inserted the data without any changes to the code.

Client is currently waiting on a next day run to re-test to determine if this is either a bug or an issue with their data. In the meantime, we are interested to see if anyone else has run into similar challenges and have a viable recommendation. THANK YOU.
The error typically means you are trying to insert non-numeric data (like 'abc_0011O00001y31VpQAI') into a numeric column. It seems like the customer did everything right in testing and TRY_TO_NUMBER() is a great way to verify numeric data.
Do the SELECT queries run fine separately? If so, then I would check whether there might be a potential mismatch in the datatype of the columns and make sure they are in the right order.
I would also check whether or not the header is being skipped in the file (that may be where the 'abc_0011O00001y31VpQAI' is coming from since the customer did not see it in the data).
SELECT queries work fine, I tried creating a new table with same DDL as original and tried loading into that new table, it worked fine. Not sure why it is not loading into the original table
I am new to SSRS.
In report, I have One table layout result where its first row (there is a bug in total) and last row is having total of all the fields. (Like shown in below image)
Given 「Total」 in first row, which I want to remove from the Report simply. I have its source file and I tried already so many ways but I am not getting its solution.
Edited
Design View of the same is here
Row Groups Panel is looking like:
Group Properties:
Expression 1(top left most):
=Iif(Fields!LineCaption.Value="","TOTAL", Fields!DispOrder.Value & ". " & Fields!LineName.Value)
Expression 2(below of top left):
=Iif(Fields!LineCaption.Value=""," ", Fields!AddupInfo.Value)+ " "
Thank you to All Commentators for commenting and giving your precious time in my problem with suggestions.
But I have found my own way solution.
By creating condition on Row_Group Visibility option while it loads the data from server.
As「Total」field was getting calculated in Row_Group only. So in Visibility option, I checked for first Row that "If first row is not Line_Name(My field name) then Hide that Row".
Maybe this is not the accurate answer but this was the only option for me to add.
You can do it via the context menu in the matrix view, not in the "Row Group" are:
I hope this is not a stupid question, but I have searched everywhere and have tried everything.
I have a dashboard and would like to group the tablix (The dashboard is inside the tablix) by one of the Parameters (Consultant). There are a few Data sets(queries) in the report and all of the Parameters are filtered with IN in the where clause.
The problem I have is that when I go to the row group properties and select the Parameter in the expression, then it automatically adds a (0) at the end. If I take the (0) away then I get the error message:
the group expression used in grouping 'Group1' returned a data type
that is not valid
I know the (0) is for getting the first value, but I am using Multi-valued Parameters.
I have tried one thing I found, but unfortunately it didn't work for me (SSRS Group By Parameter).
Edited:
This is to show you that there are multiple Data Sets(Queries) in this report
I have the dashboard in a tablix so that I can group for each Consultant, so when I choose 3 Consultant, I get 3 dashboards.
Expression used:
Then I get this error:
I have also tried using the CStr, but also no luck.
When I add the Parameter in any expression box it automatically put the (0) as below:
But then it doesn't use the parameter as I get an #Error where is should be the Consultant name.
I also used this option for page break but end up with graphs below each other:
This is what happens to the Charts(Sub Reports)
To give you an idea how the dashboard should look for each Consultant.
Regarding the other question I saw. I just tried exactly as they said but also no luck
I hope this isn't too much information. Just trying to help you help me.
Thank you!
UPDATE:
Parameter Properties:
Have you tried using the list tool to separate the sub reports by Consultant? A list acts like a container and will create whatever is inside for your grouping. You should also be able to apply a parameter to the list for filtering.
I am using stored procedure in mssql as backend, vb.net as frontend (just info).
There are a lot of records in the database and I am printing in crystal reports.
Now I want to filter the records from crystal report and not by adding a new parameter to procedure or changing database structure or else.
For now,Say there are columns : Name , Amount.
I want to put filter in amount like only display records whose amount above 100 or something. So other records with less than 100 should not be displayed.
This filter will be passed by the user so it'll be random.
I can't find a proper answer on internet. Might be a duplicate question, if so please post the link of the question if it is duplicated.!
Thanx anyways...!
In general the idea is to:
Create the parameter (user choose what will be the input/value) - link
Set filters, what values should be displayed in regards to parameter - link
On right side there is a DataExplorer window, where You need to add a Parameter (define his name, what question will be shown to user and what type the param will be / what values can be set inside).
Once done, You can jump to Data tab of a report, click Interactive Filter and specify which column must fit what condition with what value = Parameter (that one user will enter in Report).
Example: I will create AmountParam, with message "What should be the minimum amount?". Type will be set to Integer. Going to Report->Data->Interactive Filter, choose Amount as a Column, AmountParam as a Parameter and set condition Greater then (>).
I have a report with a multi-valued parameter on it. I'm looking to output the selected values which is accomplished with Join(Parameters!State.Label,",")
Every solution I've found on the web indicates I should use something like the following to detect when the (Select All) "value" is selected.
E.g. expression for the text box on the header should be:
="State: " & IIF(countrows("prc_prompt_state").Equals(Parameters!State.Count),"(All)",join(Parameters!State.Label,","))
CountRows() tells me the total number of parameters available, e.g. 8 states in Australia. Parameters!State.Count is supposed to tell me how many are actually selected by the user. However this always reports the full value (8 in this case) regardless of how many are selected. This is in agreement with the official docs (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa337293(v=sql.100).aspx), but NOT in agreement with every single search result I come up with on how to solve this problem.
So how can I rewrite this expression so I can find out when (Select All) is/isn't checked? I'm using report builder 3, which I believe is based on the 2008 edition - we deploy to Azure, but I haven't got that far yet.
Examples of questions whose answers seem to be wrong:
Displaying Multi-Value Parameters
SSRS: Can I know if user selected "ALL" in multivalued param?
This is old, but google found it for me, and then I figured out an answer on my own that worked. (I was using a list of users.)
I created a separate dataset that returns a count of all available options in the default parameter lookup (username). Then, I assigned that as a default value to an internal parameter. (UserCount) This worked as a text expression:
=Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction.IIF(Parameters!username.Count = Parameters!UserCount.Value, "All Selected", Microsoft.VisualBasic.Strings.JOIN(Parameters!username.Value, ", "))
