is it possible to do this

is it possible to give this expression in the visiiblity property

=IIF((CountRows("Growth")) = 1,"Data not Available",False)

If the CountRows("Growth") is greater than 1 the graph shows up as needed. But suppose if CountRows = 1 i want data not available to show up in the report

How can i do it

i tried converting it to Cbool("Data not available") but i get an error message

Any help will be appreciated.

Regards

Karen


It seems you are trying to set some property that expects a boolean value (eitherTrue orFalse)

"Data Not Available" is a string and cannot be converted to a boolean value.

If you can post details of what you are trying to do, someone should be able to help you.

Prashant thanks for your answer.

I have a line graph which is been populated by a stored procedure.. and the client wants no graph to appear if there just one value.. This is my sproc..

ALTER Procedure [dbo].[rpt_Growthof10K]@.Cusipvarchar(9)AS--==============================================================================-- Return the appropriate data.--==============================================================================SELECT Cusip, ChartHeader, GrowthDates, GrowthNAVFROMGrowthof10KWHERECusip = @.Cusip
 
IF there is just one record returned by the sproc the graph will plot.. but i would just end up getting the x axis and the y axis and they not enough data to be plotted so instead of showing that i want to show text message saying that "Data not avialable.
I also tried giving this expression =IIf(CountRows("Growth") = 1, True, false) so its displays nothing if it evaluates to True and if the expression is false it shows the Graph...
So i just wanted it to look a bit user friendly by displaying the message instead of the user calling up and saying i cannot see the graph..
 
any help will be appreciated
Regards

Never mind. I solved it.

For the graph i set the visible property to true if countrows("growth") = 1

and then before the graph i put a text box and i gave this expression in it ...

=IIf(CountRows("Growth") = 1,"Data Not Avialable","")

Is Forms Authentication available on Standard

I have been looking at the forms authentication sample that creates a custom login page. After looking at the licencing am I right in saying that this can only be implemented using SQL server enterprise edition as standard edition does not have the security extension API. If this is the case is there any way to custom authenticate a user when using URL calls that is not windows Authentication?I have found the answer which is simply no. Back to Crystal Reports then. Good luck getting this off the ground when you have to buy Enterprise Edition just to securely provide reports over the web that have some kind of functionality.

the report and does not have drill down functionality. If you have a report
that has drill downs (95% of my reports) in it and you run a webservice for
it, when the user clicks on the drill down they get an error.

Is cube browser available as seperate control for use in winforms app?

I love the cube browser in SQL Server management studio and would like to use it in a client app. But I don't want to give end users the SQL Server management studio.

Is it available as a seperate control or is there another one that would be available to me? I have tried the Excel addin for cube analysis but it is not as flexible and a Pivot Table report is pretty static.

It's actually just a slightly modified OWC pivot table.|||

I installed OWC 11 and added a axPivotTable control to my winform. There were so many problems getting it to do anything I gave up.

Using COM controls designed for the web in a winform app seems a bit dodgy anyway....

|||I agree, it's a little odd to work with. And the properties aren't documented that well. But it's a lot better than having to code it yourself :)|||

Hi,

I am also trying to use the OWC control, but I am using it for a web based olap browser that needs to be integrated. If you have some links, material, information regarding the use of OWC, please do forward me the same.

Also, if you are succesful in implementing the OWC, give me some pointers.

thanks

Found RadarCube NET Windows Forms for MS AS: http://www.radar-soft.com/products/radarwin_msas.aspx

Has similar functionality.

Is Cross-Validation (or Rotation Estimation) available in SQL Server?

Dear forum users,

I am a newbie in using MS SQL server with analysis services.
There seems to be no 'cross-validation' tool in MS SQL
which is frequently used in data mining and even statistics.
Is there anyone having similar difficulties?
Is there any solution like a small scripts to divide
the given dataset with multiple folds?
Your valuable comments and feedbacks would be appreciated.

Minnetongka

We have implemented cross-validation as part of a larger "model evaluation" module on top of the data mining algorithm implementations in SQL-Server 2005 Analysis Services. This is done by implementing sampling on top of the source case/nested tables and then utilizing the Analysis Services APIs (in C#) to train predictive models over training sets and then execute the appropriate prediction join over the testing sets to collect model performance metrics.

We commonly use this "model evaluation" model to automate the process of finding the most accurate predictive models for a given application.

Although we can't make our module publicly available at this time, let me know if you're interested in more information.

Thanks,

- Paul Bradley
