Can total be moved to top of column rather than bottom

Standard newbie disclaimer: I have searched the archives and this is
my second week with the tool, so my apologies if this is a rather
simple question or I am not asking the question properly.
My team has received a specification for a report where the customers
would like to see column totals at the top of the column, rather than
SSRS's default of bottom. I am new to banded report writing, so I am
hoping this is fairly simple. Using BusinessObjects, I would have
inserted a row at the top of the column and then copied the formula
from the total (or subtotal) line up to the line I had just inserted
(then deleted the row at the bottom).
Is there similar functionality with SRSS?
Kind regards,
Steve HaffnerYes, it is possible.
Option-1: If you want to show the total besides the group name: Ask them to
add the group Header(if not available). besides the group name table cell ,
write a expression like =sum(field!columnname.value)
Option-2: If you want to show the total in top of the group name:
right click on table row(Group row) and click on insert row above. and write
a expression like ="Group Total : " & sum(field!columnname.value)

Sriman.

This can be done similarly in SSRS. You can either insert a row/group
in the top of a table control and add something like the following as
the expression:
=Sum(Fields!FieldName.Value)
Also, you can do the totaling in the stored procedure/query that is
sourcing the report and just pass it to the report and create a
textbox control at the top of the table control and include it there.
Hope this helps.

Can this be optimized? Newbie question

Hi,
I'm running the following SQL to get values for 4 fields. It is
unacceptably slow. I have no control over the structure of the
database, field names, indexes etc. - what I'm given as far as DB
design is all I'm going to get. If anyone could make any suggestions
I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks,
Bill

SELECT DISTINCT

Well, it sounds like you're pretty much screwed. How many rows
does the query return? Is it appreciably faster if you remove
the 'DISTINCT' and do you have the opportunity to detect
and ignore duplicates at the client? Can you even find out
what indexes are on the tables or get the query plan for this?
There may be other query criteria that you could drop, and
instead post-qualify rows in the client.
Hope this (or someone else smarter) helps,

in a Crystal Report. The report may or may not be able to remove dupes,
but I doubt it (I'm new at Crystal Reports). I'm using DBArtisan to
design the query. The database is an undocumented nightmare with few
indexes. I know it's hideous, but I was hoping I was missing something
really obvious...:)|||Bill,

There is nothing wrong with the query, except that maybe the DISTINCT is
not necessary and could save some time if you dropped it.

The key of this query's performance is in the available indexes (and
maybe the hardware configuration). If no usuable indexes are available
and the tables are large then this query will run like a dog. You should
really turn to the DBA who can put the proper indexes in place...

slow. try removing duplicates before joining with T_MULTILIST. Look up

My newsserver had an outage, so the reply I posted originally got lost.
What I said in that post was not that fantastic:

Without know the tables and indexes it's about impossible to give
suggestions. If you post the CREATE TABLE and CREATE INDEX statements
(don't forget constraints!), as well some indication of table sizes,
we might be able to give some tips.

Even better if you can run:

SET STATISTICS PROFILE ON
go
-- query goes here
go
SET STATISTICS PROFILE OFF
go

and post the output. (Preferably in an attachment, as the output is far too
wide for news article).

However, a few minutes later one more thing occurred to me, and that was
when I discovered that the newsserver was sick.

Anyway, what you could try is to run DBCC DBREINDEX on all involved tables.
While it is not going to cause the query to run with the speed of light
all of a sudden, you could see an improvement with 20-30% if there is
serious fragmentation of the tables.

Can Sql 2005 Database be used by Sql 2000 server

Hi i am a newbie and an developer i have an issue the Development we are doing is on sql server 2005 and we are wanting to send this database for a front end team to develop fromt end and they are using sql server 2000 , will there be any problems with regarding to version. if there are problems what would be the way to provide them with the Data.Moving to the "Getting Started with SQL Server" forum from SSIS.|||I think you cannot restore sql 2005 in a sql 2000 server nor access it in sql 2000 but it can be done the other way round.........

A better option is to give the developers SQL Server Express Advanced so you can use all the features in 2005 and moving database from development to testing is just moving either MDF/LDF or .BAK file. The reason is it takes a lot to move a SQL Server 2005 database to 2000 but it is easy to move a move 200 database to 2005. If you plan to use other subsystems of SQL Server for development a better choice for the developers is the under $50 no deployment restricted developer edition. Both the developer edition and the express editions comes locked down your developers need to enable all features needed to enable development. Hope this helps.

Hi Rashed,

I would suggest to refer SQL Server Books Online for Insert/Update/Delete Statements

select Columnlists from Table -- Will fetch records from table, adding where columnname would fetch records based on condition given in where

insert into Table values('values',0) -- will add values to table

Refer http://www.sql-server-performance.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=16621

http://www.sql-server-performance.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=18550

Hi Rashed:

It seems like you are seeking a way to access SQL data using managed code.

Getting familiar with ADO.net may be a great start.

Following are the links to some MSDN references and sample code that may help to get you started:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.sqlclient.sqlconnection.connectionstring.aspx

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.sqlclient.sqlcommand.parameters.aspx

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.sqlclient.sqldataadapter.aspx

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.sqlclient.sqldatareader.aspx

Hope these information helps. :-)

Thanks
