Lesson 26: Use IIF,Switch and Parameter value in Expressions

How to use IIF, Switch and Parameter value in expressions in SSRS.

Firstly create a datasource,dataset and create a table with the required fields, Now let us use IIF function to display the rows based on a column value. Consider the below example where we are checking if the field value for "Bikes" and replacing it with "Bikes category", leaving rest as is.

Next we are changing the report name based on the parameter value, see the below example where we are writing the expression to display the report name based on parameter value.

Finally based on the color of the parameter we are displaying the image in the background using a switch function. firstly add the images to the images folder and then right click on the field(textbox where you want to insert the image) or on the body and then add image item and edit the image properties as per the below switch condition.

Conditional statement in SSIS: same as ternary operator in C ** <condition>? <true>:<false> Eg: Gender=="M" ? "Male": "Female" Multicast Transformation : This t/r creates multiple copies of i/p data. it is useful because every time we need not to go to source. ** This will improve task performance. Aggregate Transformation : It is used to convert the detailed values into aggregated data by using Aggregate functions like sum,avg,max,min,count etc. ** It is Asynchronous transformation. Example: to the i/p data from source group by deptno and perform aggregate funcs. Conversion in SSIS ; * Conversion is very important because data from flat file, excel comes to transformations in the form of string(varchar) , so we cannot perform required operations so it require to convert data. 1) Directly at source level : ** Select flat file source, right click--> show advanced editor. ** Select i/p & o/p properties tab, ...

Lesson 67: Join two datasets in SSRS by using Lookup function

How to join two datasets in SSRS by using Lookup function First create two datasets each one with a different datasource. Next insert a table in the report body and insert the required columns from the dataset1. Next in order to insert the columns from 2nd dataset, you need to write a look up function where you need to give the matching columns from both the datasets and the required column from dataset and scope as 2 datset Here since we are inserting the columns of dataset1 first, we are writing exp with scope as dataset 2.
