Handeling Parent-Child hierarchy in RS2005

hello,

I have a problem in RS2005:

In my report I see all levels in one column. However they are shown in a way that I think that if I only could get it to toggle correctly it will work out fine...

I would like my P/C dimensionto display just as it does when I use AS. Expanding top level (by pressing +), viewing next level down where I can "open" (by pressing +) next level and so on. Does anyone know how this is done or suggestions on how to solve it?

This is the kind of display I would like:

-A 100

-B 50
D 25
E 25

+C 50

Sincerely,

Hello Hanna

After you select the fields in the query builder, you are prompted to select a matrix or a tabular approach. Then, when you select matrix, you are prompted to select the fields that go to the columns, the fields that go to the rows, and so on.

All you have to do is to check the little checkbox in the lower left corner that says "Enable Drilldown". This will put all your top level member of the hierarchy in the first column and will enable you to drill down.

Did it work?

Hello again...

Can you tell me what you did to be able to see all levels in one column?

I have an hierarchy:

region -> area -> district -> country

Example:

Europe (region)
Southern Europe (Area)
Southern West Europe (district)
Portugal (country)

my objective is to have the following display:

Hierarchy Value
-
Europe 1000
Southern Europe 500
Southern West Europe 250
Portugal 150
Spain 100

How can I achieve this?

I don't want the hierarchy to be displayed in more than one column like this:

Region Area District Country Value
Europe S. Europe S. West Europe Portugal 150
Europe S. Europe S. West Europe Spain 100

And I don't want the hierarchy to be displayed with drilldown like this:

Hierarchy Value
- Europe 1000
- Southern Europe 500
-Southern West Europe 250
Portugal 150
Spain 100

I just want the hierarchy to be displayed in a single column.

Handeling NULL variable

Good afternoon,

I'd like to like how you guys handle a situation like the one I'm going to describe in just a moment. I'm pretty sure I'm not handeling it in the best way, so I'll just try to explain the situation and learn something from the gurus.

Let's imagin I have the following tables:

[Companies]Id [Uniqueidentifier] [PK]Alias [NVarChar]Status [Bit][Campanies_JobTitles]Id [PK]CompanyId [Uniqueidentifier]Alias [NVarChar]Status [Bit]

If I want to know the job titles of company 1 I could easely set the following stored procedure:

SELECT JT.IdAS Id ,JT.AliasAS AliasFROM Companies_JobTitles JTWHERE JT.Status = 1AND JT.CompanyId = @.CompanyIdORDER BY JT.AliasASC;

Now, if the user wants to list the job titles across all the companies I could pass a special value and identify that, as follows:

IF (@.CompanyIdISNOT NULL)BEGIN SELECT JT.IdAS Id ,JT.AliasAS AliasFROM Companies_JobTitles JTWHERE JT.Status = 1AND JT.CompanyId = @.CompanyIdORDER BY JT.AliasASC;ENDELSE BEGIN SELECT JT.IdAS Id ,JT.AliasAS AliasFROM Companies_JobTitles JTWHERE JT.Status = 1ORDER BY JT.AliasASC;END

This works fine. I just find it a bit counter productive to copy paste the query and wrap it into an if statement. So, the bottom line is: how can I do this in a more "professional" way?

Best regards.

Hi,

What I believe, the query is good enough because at certain point you have to check if the company Id exist or not so that if exist you can search it by the id, if not then show all.

Thanks and best regards,

I understand what you are saying, although that check was not on the posted code for the sake of simplicity. But, that wouldn't answer the underlying question that is: how can I "reuse" the query so I don't have to repeat it thoughout the procedure? Is there a function that can solve this like ISNULL allows you to handle the values that return as null.

What about this:

SELECTJT.IdAS Id,JT.AliasAS AliasFROM Companies_JobTitles JT
WHERE JT.Status = 1
AND JT.CompanyId =ISNULL(@.CompanyId,JT.CompanyId)ORDER BY JT.Alias

What about this:

SELECTJT.IdAS Id,JT.AliasAS AliasFROM Companies_JobTitles JT
WHERE JT.Status = 1
AND JT.CompanyId =ISNULL(@.CompanyId,JT.CompanyId)ORDER BY JT.Alias

That was exactly what I was looking for. I didn't know ISNULL could be used in that context.

Thanks a lot limno :)
