• Visual Studio #Error and null values

  Hi all, i have a problem with null value in field. If field containts null value - i get displayed an #Error where value should be. Checking for nothing or IsNothing doesn't seem to help Any suggestions where to look In a Matrix when your datasource doesn't return a value for a particular row/column combination, it can be shown as any value you wish by simply using OR logic. I.e. The detail of the cell for each row and column would normally be something like: =Sum(fields!Total.Value) if for that row and column there is no data this leaves the field Blank....but not 'null' or 'nothing' To ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Excel memory issues

  Hello everyone, I have been involved in the development in a graphical user interface which is used to sort large amounts of data, (thousands of rows, 30 columns). After sorting the data according to required ranges on column data, the columns can be plotted with any column against any other column. The number of plots can reach the hundreds and are displayed in a half-sqaure fashion. Anyway, I originally needed only 10,000 or so rows of data and everything worked well. To sort the data, I wrote a macro to place an equation in the first column after the data with the end result being either true or false. The data is then sorted in th ...Show All

• SQL Server Strings as measure

  Is it possible to have strings as a measure I tried to build a cube with string measures and I choose no aggregation function for that measure, but I always get the error message: Its not that its not at all possible to have string measures in cubes. There is a workaround for using strings as measures. It may not work in all cases but worked out in my case. this can be acheived using member properties for dimensions. and once member property is defined it can be used in calculated measures to display string measures [dimension].properties("Member Property Name") Hope this is useful for u regards, SP ...Show All

• SQL Server How to read XML data from SQL data field?

  Using RS2000 I have a field in a SQL DB which contains data stored as an XML string. Is there an easy way to parse this string into data without moving to SS2005 I have builts a parser in SQL, but I would like to know if RS had a way to directly read this. If not, is there a method in RS2005 which handles this type of data The only way to really do this in RS2000 is to create your own custom data processing extension that encapsulates the code you have written to parse the Xml. There are quite a few examples online. In RS2005, you can use the Xml Data Processing Extension, which is designed for ret ...Show All

• .NET Development How to implement transactions using tableadapters?

  The old dataadapter had a transaction object which you could assign to a .NET SQLtransaction. This made transaction handling very simple. What is the equivalent (or similar) method for handling transactions using tableadapters I'm using the table adapters generated by the data designer. dataadapter has no transaction property which can be assigned to a sqltransaction. You could use System.Transactions.TransactionScope to simplify the transaction handling if you have only one conneciton opened. ...Show All
