Comment on The InScope() Function and the key to formatting subtotals in SSRS Matrix Objects by Jen

Jen — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 01:30:49 +0000

Hi Luke,
Yes you are correct the issue is with my expression.
This is the expression which i’m using. The first IIF running well but the second IIF not working.
=IIf(Sum(Fields!Bil.Value)>=7,1,IIf(sum(Fields!Bil.Value)>=21,3,0))

actually i want Sum field value before do operators function
=Iif(Sum(Fields!Fieldname.value) >=7, Iif(Sum(Fields!Fieldname.value) >=14, 2,1))

Hi Jen,

It looks like the issue is with your expression. You need to nest the 2nd iif() in the ‘true’ part of the first iif().
–>

=Iif(Fields!Fieldname.value >=7, Iif(Fields!Fieldname.value >=14, 2, 1), 0)

The “0″ would result when the value is less than 7.

I’m new to SSRS. i have the ollowing problem:-
i. i have sum of Bil field. i want count sum of Bil by dif category.
exm:
Name Title Bil Total
Roy X 4
x 3
Sum 7 Y
Eliz X 6
x 8
Sum 14 Y

Output Y should be like this
if Sum >= 7 answer is 1
if Sum >=14 answer is 2

I have the following expression inside field Sum
=Sum(Fields!Bil.Value)

I have the following expression inside field Total (Y)
=IIf(Sum(Fields!Bil.Value)>=7,1,IIf(Sum(Fields!Bil.Value)>=14,2,1))
But the expression for Total(Y) not working. The result i get is 1 for any number.

Comment on Download Reports (.RDL) files for editing (SSRS 2005) by Bebandit

This worked perfectly. I did not lose the report, rather, a co-worker made the initial report and he was out when I was asked to modify it. Thanks!

@BillPecos – The following MSDN page talks about distinguishing between the “Installed Templates” and the “My Templates” sections in Visual Studio / BIDS.

In Luke’s original post, he’s referencing the file path for templates that are typically installed with the product.
