I created a report with multiple DataSets. The first dataset contains adresses and the second contains contact data like phone and email.
So it is possible that a adress contains multiple contact items. But there is always only one contact item.
I've created a Matrix where the Adressdata is in it. In this matrix is another matrix, which should list all contact items.
In both tables is a VaNr which is the Id for the adress.
EDIT:
I try to explain more details:
I have the the table Adress which looks like this
As you can see there are some easy adress-data and the VaNr.
John doe can have multiple contact data:
So in my report it should list john doe with three contacts.
I grouped my adress list with the VaNr.
The contact list for my adress is grouped to the VaNr:
But this is the result I get:
It only show one contact, but it should have three. There are three Contacts for John doe (with the same VaNr).
I found the solution, maybe it helps someone in future:
I had grouping everthing correctly. But to show the contact data I used the Lookup function. This shows only the first item of another DataSet.
=Lookup(Fields!VaNr.Value, Fields!VaNr.Value, Fields!Contact.Value, "Contact")
What I need is a list of all possible items in Contact. I had to change this expression like this:
=Join(LookupSet(Fields!VaNr.Value, Fields!VaNr.Value, Fields!Contact.Value, "Contact"), Environment.NewLine)
This returns a collection of Contact Items.

so recently my principal is having me create a database for a tardy system recently what i've done is set up a google form where the student id can be enter through a num pad and put into a google sheet where ive setup 2 sheets one where it shows the student name and how many tardies they have and then the other is the google form responses, each tardies cell in the other sheet has the formula: =COUNTIF('Form Responses'!B:B,"") which essentialy checks the number of times a certain student id pops up, by ferpa i am not legally allowed access to the student id's is there any possible way i can maked it when a person enters their student id it adds/creates a new formula for the tardies cells to check through the entire list without a duplication or error code?
i have tried the =COUNTIF('Form Responses'!B:B,"") formula but that would make where my principal would have to edit a thousand lines of formula
Depending on the exact setup of your sheets, you can use a formula like this, guessing that the students' IDs are in A column:
=BYROW(A2:A,LAMBDA(each,IF(each="","",COUNTIF('Form Responses'!B:B,each))))
That would set a formula will drag all the column automatically.
Or, instead of having a list of IDs you can set a QUERY that will find all the ID values in the responses and their count:
=QUERY('Form Responses'!B:B,"SELECT B,Count(B) where B is not null group by B")
I came here today with a theoretical question. (hint: it will be long and tough, but to fully understand the problem I think I have to write every important detail. If you read it to the end huge thanks for you, you're not the hero we deserved but the hero we needed)
Story time: I'm currently building an online shop from 0. It has the same principles as an ebay: users can create advertisment for their used products. The problem is that I want to create a filtering feautre.
What is my MongoDB data structure?
My page has products with different attributes, by this I mean that the products have varying categories and values. To imagine here is an example
Product A:
Creator:User1
Category:Car
Type:BMW
Color:Red
Product B:
Creator:UserB
Category:Electronics
Type:Phone
Producer:Apple
To be more complex each user can define maximum 3 more extra category and value for each product. So for example User1 adds 2 new category and the final product will be:
Product A:
Creator:User1
Category:Car
Type:BMW
Color:Red
Number of seats:4
Fuel type: Gasoline
Because of the above mentioned when a user adds a new product there will be two type of categories: the static ones which are predefined by me(Category,Type,Color -> in car's case) and the dynamic ones which the user adds (Number of seats, Fuel Type or anything else).
Overall: My final data structure in mongoDB is not static, since there are some added categories. Because of this I have a Product collection and each document looks like the above mentioned example
How are the items shown?
I have a main page. When I populate it I make a call with $skip and a $limit attribute set to 8, so for the first time I only query 8 products. If a user clicks on a Load More button it will load another 8 product and so on.
FINALLY: My actual question ...
So at this point I guess you understand everything related to the business logic so it's time for my question: if I want to filter these dynamic products, but i don't know what is the best practice for it?
My idea:
First create a mongoDB collection named Categories. Each main category will be a document in it and we will store static and dynamic categories and values
ex:
category:car
predefined:[{type:[BMW,Mustang,Ferrari]},{color:[red,green,blue]}]
userdefiend:[{number of seats:[2,4,5,6]},{fuel type:[Gasoline,Air,Diesel]}]
We load the the values in the main page if a user clicks a specific value ex:BMW we set a limit to 8 and go through on our Product collection and get the 8 items which has a Type:BMW. If he selects another option ex: color:Red we loop again through the collection but now with two criteria: Type:BMW and color:Red.
Idea2: Create a Category collection again with this structure
categoryType:predefined
mainCategory:Car
categoryName:Type
BMW:[prodA, prodC,prodD]
Ferrari:[prodD,prodE]
...values:products which contains
categoryType:userdefined
mainCategory:Car
categoryName:Number of seats
4:[prodA, prodD],
5:[prodE]
If a user selects from Type category the BMW we load the products from the BMW fields [prodA,prodC,prodD]. If the user selects Number of seat category with a value 4 we load the [prodA, prodD] and on the webpage we use a filter with our actual products so it remains only [prodA,prodD]. And from our actual list we use findById for the specific products.
I think that these are not the best options from any perspective, but I am really confused.
What do you guys think how should I structure my categories/products to have an efficent read/write/update complexity?
Anyways thank you for reading this and if you made it until here I'm curious about your idea. Have a nice day
UPDATE:
The filtering functionality
To don't have any confusion this is my filtering idea: When a user selects a main category for example Car or Electronics I want to show only the relevant filtering categories and options. Filtering categories in Car's case are Type and Color.
I want these filtering options to have pre-poupulated options. By this I mean, that if a filtering category is Type, and there are 2 Products which has Type:BMW and Type:Ferrari I want to show these values as options for filtering. And I don't want to hardcode these options, for example I hardcoded Type:Laborghini and I have no products with type Laborghini.
By the end if a user clicks to a Type:BMW I will filter all of my products based on that criteria.
My filtering side menu will look like this:
Type: BMW,Ferrari (these values exists in my database)
Color:Red,Black,Grey,Yellow
And for user-added categories I will build a searchbar, if a user selects a userdefiened category I want to add to the filtering categories so the overall look would look like this:
Type: BMW,Ferrari (these values exists in my database)
Color:Red,Black,Grey,Yellow
Number of seats:4,6,7 (number of seats category is added by user, 4,6,7 are the existing values to this category)
You could structure Your data like having a generic Products collection. Having both
Product A:
Creator:User1
Category:Car
Type:BMW
Color:Red
Product B:
Creator:UserB
Category:Electronics
Type:Phone
Producer:Apple
rows. Whenever you show the filter component, you can select the available categories by using an Aggregate (https://stackoverflow.com/a/43570730/1859959)
This would generate search boxes like "Creator", "Category", "Type", "Color", "Producer".
The data itself would be as generic as possible.
When the user wants to add a new product, it starts out from a template, like "Car" or "Electronics". The Templates collection gives him the initial values, which should be included. So it would be like:
{Car: [{type:[BMW,Mustang,Ferrari]},{color:[red,green,blue]}],
Electronics: ... }
Selecting a Car would generate the "type" and "color" input boxes. Saving the form would insert the new row into Products.
I am writing an SSRS report in which I've a tablix that actually contain a subreport in one of its table cell. Now I want to understand to get this value as Sum on main report. For example, below is the student data:
Student Name | Total Subject | Obtained Marks (Sub Report)
XYZ | 6 | 35
ABC | 6 | 46
In above example, I am able to see the total marks of the first subject only. But I need to get the total form all 6 subjects from sub report. My tablix is already has Grouped by Student Name.
Below are the ways I tried to get it done:
Added another column in tablix and try to get the subreport as ReportItems! Subreport2, didn't work.
In the same column, I tried with Sum (Subreport2).
But since Subreport2 as report items are not accessible I'm not able to get it done.
UPDATE 1
I am using below expression to get sub-report value:
=ReportItems("Subreport2").value
The short answer is, no, you can't access fields from a subreport in the manner that you are attempting to. However, there is an easy way to get the values from that subreport that you may not have realized. The basic solution is to simply add another dataset to your report using the same query or stored procedure that is used in the subreport and getting the required data from that dataset. For example, you could then use a lookup function to match the data as needed. The lookup function requires four parameters detailed in the following expression.
= Lookup([SourceValue].Value, [DestinationValue].Value, [LookupValue].Value, "[DestinationDataset]")
The idea in your case would be to put your student name or ID field from the main report dataset in for source value, match that value in your subreport dataset for the destination value, get the value you need for lookup value, and the subreport dataset goes in parenthesis to indicate where to get the data from. So the following expression gives you an idea of what you need.
= Lookup(Fields!studentID.Value, Fields!studentIDSub.Value, Fields!ObtainedMarks.Value, "SubreportDataset")
Take a look at the documentation if you need any addition information.
I have categories (row header) and each category has a sub category (gender), broken down by age range (column header). One of the categories can be divided into two sections and each of the sections would need a subtotal.
The dataset for the table would retrieves information from a MSSQL view which returns the category, gender, and age ranges (the count of each).
A method which worked so far but seem very inefficient is to create datasets (along with a tablix) for Category 1-2, 3AB, 3CD, 3Total, 4-5 and a total. Then align each tablix close to one another so when previewing the report, it would appear they all belong to one grid. I would like to explore other possibilities to achieve this outcome.
Example in excel of how it should look
Thank you for reading
edit- Thank you Sean for pointing it out I need to be more clear. My actual question is how can I include a subtotal and total row in the middle of a dataset of certain categories, efficiently?
Looks to me like a simple row/column grouping tablix.
Modify your dataset to return "category, section, gender, age range, count" and then create a tablix with category->section->gender row groups and a single "age range" column group. For those categories without a section, just return a sentinel string value of some sort, e.g. "All" or the category again.
If you aren't familiar with nested groups, start by adding gender, then section, then category (child to parent) as I find this the most intuitive way to teach people about adding groups.
Excel wiz's,
I'm trying to build a report with a simple drop down list of names. Rather than try to explain in more detail, let me give you a sample dataset:
Table1:
Text Person1 Person2 Person3
String here contains name(s) Mike Smith Robert Johnson Suzy Q
Another string with name(s) Dan Boy John Michael Bob Wise
Different string with name(s) Robert Johnson Suzy Q
In my report sheet, I have a drop down list of all the possible "persons" that I want to chose from and then return all values from the "Text" column in an array. I have been able to make it work with only one column using this formula, where C4 contains my choice in the dropdown list:
INDEX(Table1[#All],SMALL(IF(Table1[Person1]=$C$4,ROW(Table1[Person1])),ROW(1:1)),1)
The text column will contain all the names of the Person columns, but they are in a different case (all caps, can't change format for display purposes). Maybe a SEARCH function would be more useful? I'm not sure. I'm trying to avoid using a macro, but I am not completely opposed.
Let me know what you guys think, and thanks in advance!
Simply re-organize your table so that there's one row per name... the V-Lookup on the name and get the matching list.
Person Text
Mike Smith String with names
Robert Johnson String with names
Suzy Q String with names
Dan Boy Second string with names
are you trying to make validations for teams? like select team, then next drop down gives only members of that team?
you can use offset inside validation. in one cell put a validation for the list of teams. in the other cell, create a list validation, use a offset formula to return the range of members based on the selected team.
edit: not sure how to put in a table, but this is how you would fill a range with vlookup
in the table with the entries, add a column with serial number starting from 1-n
just below the drop down box, enter numbers 1 to n in order
vlookup the serial number in the table, that is the row you are looking up
for the column, use a match to look in the table which column the current selected person is
drag the formula down to fill n numbers
