I have created a SQL Server 2005 matrix with a total column.
I want to be able to change the colors of the totals only so they stand out from the rest of the data. I can change the color of the "total" label, but not the actual data.
Can anyone give me a clue of how to do this?
To test whether or not a cell is a total or not, you need to use the InScope() Function along with a heavily nested If statement. Jorg Klein does a great job of exlplaing how this works within a matrix (here)
Select the Total box and you can set the color in the properties page. If you want all totals to appear in the same color, this will do.
You can also conditionally format them, by putting an expression in the color property.

Unless I'm mistaken, you can select the totals cell for editing it's properties by selecting the cell and then clicking on the small triangle in the upper corner of the cell.
Hope this helps,

I am having a problem trying to understand how to accomplish this. I want to use one set of slicers in my Excel spreadsheet to drill down to specific information. The problem is that I have duplicated Model names under the "Intel" worksheet. The reason is that Model Name could have one or two controllers. I have created all the queries, Power Pivots, and relationships. The link to the file is available here (this is all public data) if someone is willing to take a look and provide the guideline.
PROBLEM:
Due to Model Name's duplication under the "intel" worksheet, I have created a "DUP" column to identify duplicates in my data with the "X." I thought if I made a column “RELATED -Devide by 2” in the Power Pivot “Intel” with the formula =IF([DUP]="X," [RELATED - 12 Month Volume]/2, [RELATED - 12 Month Volume])", I would be able to show correct 12Month Volume based on Volume worksheet. This is partially true. I came to an understanding that I need to use both, “RELATED - 12 Month Volume” and “RELATED -Devide by 2” depending on what slicer I am filtering with
If Filtered by FORM Factor or Vendor, I can use RELATED - Divide by 2 (Orange color as shown below).
Now, if I filter above with Controller (like X710-TM4), this is not good. For Controller Filter, I would need to use “RELATED - 12 Month Volume” (Blue color as shown below), which is NOT suitable for above
How do I accomplish this? One set of slicers and be able to drill down and show correct value based on slicer used

Never mind... I figured it out with the CROSSFILTER measure
How can I remove spacing between bars in SSRS 2012 report.
In design mode, select one of the columns in the chart.
In the Properties pane, look for CustomAttributes; expand that group.
Look for PointWidth within that property group. Change that value from 0.8 (the default) to 0.9 for the columns to be a little closer together. Change the value to 1 if you want your columns to touch. Adjust as desired.
They keep this one hidden, a bit.
You need to set the PointWidth property of the chart series to 1 if you want no space between, you can adjust this value to adjust the amount of space, the higher the number, the less space between, default is 0.8.
To get to this, click on one of the columns in the chart and then hit F4 to display properties (assuming Visual Studio here, I don't use report builder).
Under Custom Attributes, you will find PointWidth, change this value to 1 or maybe .095 to get a very narrow gap.
In SSRS report, I want to perform conditional color formatting where highest rank should be Green and lowest rank should be Red within a Regional Manager group as shown below
Note: Couple of options, I was thinking of includes
I am using custom code function, for deriving Min and Max value, and somehow if I can include grouping filter on Regional Manger then it could work, but don't know if that's possible
In dataset, I create extra columns for each column and store Min\max value in it. But less keen towards this option, since I have 24 different ranks and which would mean, I will need 24 different columns along with current 40 attributes
Any help would be appreciated
I know you don't want to do this for each column, but despite your misgivings it is probably the best approach. Based on my previous answer to your earlier related question you can colour the min and max for each group as follows.
Create a table with fields store, atvrank, and btvrank
Right click the row header, and select Add Group -> Row Group - Parent Group, and choose Regional Manager. Set the Group name to RegionalManagerGroup
Then set the background colour for your cells to
=iif(Fields!atvRank.Value = min(Fields!atvRank.Value, "RegionalManagerGroup"),
"Green",
iif(Fields!atvRank.Value = max(Fields!atvRank.Value, "RegionalManagerGroup"),
"Red",
"White"
)
)
This now finds the maximum and minimum within the current group instead of the whole dataset. You will need to set this expression for each field individually, but this is probably less effort than returning new rows from the database to determine the maximum and minimum for each field.
This approach will give the following output
Please seriously consider this solution. If you have further questions, please just ask.
I am trying to move reports that currently run in SQL Server to Crystal Reports.
Essentially the statement I want to reproduce is:
SELECT DATEPART(DD,DATE), COUNT(*)
WHERE FOO = 'BAR'
GROUP BY DATEPART(DD,DATE)
Count the occurrence of records that match a criteria, grouped by date.
I have used the Selection Expert to generate a equivalence relation (to evaluate the records) and would like to use the datepart function in a group by statement. I have gotten the GROUP BY selection expert to group by date - but it is the full timestamp (SS:HH:DD:MM) not by specific day i.e. March 1 2010.
I am sure there is a way to achieve what I want but have yet to find a tutorial explaining this scenario.
Any help you could lend would be appreciated
As with any other SDK/Language, there are many ways to do this. Here is the first one that I can think of:
Get the raw data into Crystal. (Sounds like you already did this)
In Crystal, make a new formula, call it "GroupByDate". In the formula editor, enter:
datepart("yyyy-mm-dd",{mytable.mydatefield})
Go into the Group Expert. Group your report by GroupByDate.
Make a new formula, call it "AddMe". In the formula editor, enter:
iif({mytable.foo="bar",1,0)
Drag & drop your AddMe formula into the details section. Right-click on it to Insert->Summary. Set your summary location as the group footer.
Preview your report and you should see the total counts in every group footer. To simplify the appearance of the report, you can also suppress the display of the detail and grouper header sections.
Again, there are many ways to do this. You can also get creative with a Running Total function. The Crystal Formula Editor has very useful help files. Use the Functions pane to select a function, press F1, and you'll get criteria, examples, etc.
I Have a request for the TOTAL's and subtotals column to be moved to the top/left of columns it represents, and by default SSRS does it on the bottom or right hand side of the columns being totaled. Is there a way to this?
I found my own solution, when you right click on the tiny green triangle, in the top right hand corner of the sub total column. Then select properties, and you can adjust the "Layout" property.. it has 2 options, Before and After.
You can just add a row which comes before your set of data, for each field you want to total just give that cell an expression which does a SUM() of that particular field.
