Here's a brief overview:I've a SQL table with 4 columns in it. One is SUBCAT, REF_FROM, REF_TO and CASE_HISTORY.There are different subcategories in the SUBCAT column - Of which i only need to look for a particular subcategory (called CORPORATE_NEW) for which i need to extract the emp. code based on specific conditions. For CORPORATE_NEW subcategory, i need to extract the 5 or 6 digit emp. codeFor other subcategories, i need to extract the 10 digit emp. codeThe columns REF_FROM and REF_TO will have 4 different types employee codes (alphanumeric strings of length 5, 6, 9 or 10) and will have the latest emp. codes for a particular record in the whole table.AGFC45824 - 9 digit emp. codeS1572 or S15802 - 5 or 6 digit emp. codeCSKW758104 - 10 digit emp. codeThe CASE_HISTORY column contains the following (there are multiple rows - one sample row as below):[code="sql"]Case moved from Q of [AFDC15820]s to Q of [ADFV15870]s ...Case moved from to Q of [ADFV15870]s to Q of [S13572]s ... Case moved from Q of [S13572]s to [CSKW10072]s... Case moved from Q of [CSKW10072]s to Q of [S13572]s.. Case moved from Q of [S13572]s to Q of [ADFV15876]s ... [/code]I need to extract the ids found in the above column (for each record in my table) based on the conditions below.1. The employee code needs to searched and populated in this order only - REF_TO column, then REF_FROM column and finally CASE_HISTORY - The REF_TO, REF_FROM columns will have the latest owners (emp.code) of the record in his queue.2.  In case, if any of the columns (in the above order) if the emp. code is S10353 (the system automatically pushes case from one user to another using this id), then i need to check the CASE_HISTORY column and extract the last owners REF_FROM and REF_TO.3. Also, if either of the columns REF_FROM, REF_TO contains the 9 digit emp. code, i need to ignore their values and pick out the last owners from CASE_HISTORY based on condition 2 above.If no employee code could be found, then populate it as emptyI've coded these conditions using CASE .. WHEN block and PATINDEX, but i'm a bit struck-up and getting lost. :crazy:Can someone help me out to extract the correct employee codes?Will try posting the code that i've built shortly. I would need to scan &amp; extract the employee code from this table, so i prefer this code to be built using a cursor.Hope Paul White takes a look at this post.. :w00t:RegardsSarang[/font]</description><pubDate>Tue, 15 May 2012 20:21:18 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>rangamails</dc:creator></item><item><title>an integrated reporting/business solution within Word utilizing TAQL and other technologies</title><link>http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1298090-147-1.aspx</link><description>I need to create an interactive word document and have attached a wireframe/sketch image to clarify goal.

I appreciate this is fairly common but my concern is that the data will run to millions of rows, which feels like a lot to process each day.The first thing we are required to do is to stage the data before modeling it into the data warehouse.  We also need to keep as light a touch as possible on the source system.  Luckily the source system maintains PK's on all tables.My thoughts so far are:1. Truncate the staging tables and reload all data each night.2. Generate a hash value to compare against the one previously generated, replacing each record where it's different.Both these methods feel like I need to process an awful lot of data.I'd like to hear peoples own experiences of this as I’m sure it's quite common.MartyRocco</description><pubDate>Tue, 15 May 2012 01:41:42 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>MartyRocco</dc:creator></item><item><title>Error when connecting to a cube in Excel 2010</title><link>http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1301434-147-1.aspx</link><description>I get error when connecting to a cube from a spreadsheet in Excel 2010:"Errors in the OLE DB provider.

I have a table inside of a matrix, and when exporting to excel, the data within the tables are ignored. I feel like what I'm trying to accomplish is NOT that difficult, but I'm having a hard time working around this without doing what I would consider silly. So I'm looking for some ideas, or someone to point out why I'm being a bit of a bone head ;-)Essentially I'm trying to create a 12 Month Rolling report for a set of metrics, with months across the top, metric labels down the left hand side, and the data inside the matrix. I chose a matrix because the columns need to be dynamic based on whatever month I'm runnin this for. There is no other grouping necessary other than by month. So what I did was put a table inside the row group and hardcoded the metric lables that I wanted into a set of rows in that table. I then put another table inside the data region, and put my metric values (sum(x)..). It works perfectly, however I'm running into this bug where I can't render it in Excel.3 month rolling sample made up below of what I'm trying to do..[font="Courier New"]__________|Jan 2012|Feb 2012|Mar 2012|$Sales....|300.....|400.....|500.....|Unit Sold.|30......|13......|23......|Turnover..|12%.....|14%.....|20%.....|[/font]I realize that what I could do is accomplish this with a table and large set of subqueries to paramaterize what each column would be, but I consider this silly. Suggestions welcome! I'll even take someone sarcastically pointing out why what I did wasn't very smart!

The report format is something like below.[b] ProdutName      Manufacturer     Unit (Kg, Ltr etc;)     SalesPerson      Obsolete   [/b]Only these 5 fields are necessary, nothing else.Ofcourse I have the following tables,Product ManufaturerUnit SalespersonAs far as I understand, I don't see a Fact table and measure here and confused how to define the cube. Can anyone pls guide me to create this simple cube and report ?.I have gone through some of the notes and have created some of teh cubes and reports.Deployed and using the same. Also I am aware that the above report can easily be created using a simple query. But the requirement is it must be based on cube.Thanks in advance,Smith.</description><pubDate>Thu, 26 Apr 2012 06:27:51 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Joy Smith San</dc:creator></item><item><title>SSIs disc</title><link>http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1290512-147-1.aspx</link><description>Hi Friends i have small doubt in loading data  .suppose  i  have a folder  that folder contains    3 excel sheets data and 5 flat files data.  all sheets data like  id,name,sal  so  how to load flatfiles and excel sheets data dynamicaly in ssis .iam trying to useing foreach enumrator but  some error occurs. plz tell me how to use foreac enumrator while loading flat files and excel sheet dynamicaly. plz tell me the process. is it possible or not to loading data</description><pubDate>Thu, 26 Apr 2012 03:54:02 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>asranantha</dc:creator></item><item><title>Line Chart Legend - Can I get a field to show between another field and a calculated series?</title><link>http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1290799-147-1.aspx</link><description>I have a feeling I already know the answer to this but it's not the answer I want so I'm hoping that asking the question here will somehow change reality to fit my requirement:-)I have a line chart that shows actual overtime cost by month for a year.  I have 2 additional lines: YTD average and a moving 4 month average.  I've calculated the YTD average using a RunningValue expression: =RunningValue(Fields!Amount_signed.Value,sum, nothing)/Fields!FiscalPeriod.Value.  I'm using a Calculated Series to display the moving 4 month average.  All that's fine and producing the right result.The thing is, I'd like the order in the legend to be:-ActualYTD Average4 Month AverageBut the 4 Month Average always appears immediately after the Actual, presumably because it's calculated from the actual whereas the YTD average is a data element in it's own right.  I've read up and found that they display in the order they appear in the data fields area but, of course, calculated series don't appear in that area.Is there any way I can achieve this?Thanks in advance (but only if you're able to bend reality to my whim)</description><pubDate>Thu, 26 Apr 2012 08:39:41 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>FunkyDexter</dc:creator></item><item><title>Making Excel desination dynamic..</title><link>http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1287812-147-1.aspx</link><description>Hi FriendsI have one requirement, I'm pulling data from OLEDB source and need to place in excel file, as you know this is simple but what I need is for each time when I execute the package I need to place the data to different path.
