Robert,

Well, no wonder you're having such a horrible time of it. I wouldn't have a clue how to graph something like that. What are you starting with, something...

If that's the structure of your data, no wonder. Your structure looks wrong.

Got consumable data? (Something I can drop into SSRS and build a quick chart?)

Guess I'll have to check my syntax.

I would have thought EXISTS will work better because theoretically it stops looking as soon as the condition is false.

Thanks Wendell!

Pieter

What does your query/filter look like?

IF you can modify the stored procedure, you can use something like this:

SELECT city, companyname, custid

FROM ...

Slap a TOP predicate on top of your query...

SELECT TOP 10

vPerf.DateTime,

vPerf.SampleCount,

cast(vPerf.AverageValue as numeric(10,2)) as AverageCPU,

vPerformanceRuleInstance.InstanceName,

vManagedEntity.Path,

vPerformanceRule.ObjectName,

vPerformanceRule.CounterName

FROM Perf.vPerfHourly AS vPerf INNER JOIN

vPerformanceRuleInstance ON vPerformanceRuleInstance.PerformanceRuleInstanceRowId = vPerf.PerformanceRuleInstanceRowId INNER JOIN

vManagedEntity ON vPerf.ManagedEntityRowId = vManagedEntity.ManagedEntityRowId...

Robert,

I'm taking a few steps backwards...

Here's your data...

CREATE TABLE AdmitDischarge(

TheHour TINYINT,

ADType VARCHAR(10),

TheCount TINYINT

CONSTRAINT AD_PK PRIMARY KEY (TheHour,ADType)

);

GO

INSERT INTO AdmitDischarge(TheHour, ADType, TheCount)

VALUES (0,'A',2),(0,'D',6),

(1,'A',6),(1,'D',3),

(2,'A',4),(2,'D',4),

(3,'A',1),(3,'D',2),

(4,'A',3),(4,'D',9);

By the looks of things, you could do the...

Careful. Using brain dumps is cheating. If you get caught, your exams get invalidated. I think it's ALL of them, so it could be costly.

For what it's worth, I would probably build this as a stored procedure in SQL Server. Then you can do something like include the columns you're filtering on in...

I've been trying to figure out how to answer this for a couple of days at least...

I faced a situation like this once, but it was in Access (yup,...

also note that this thread is almost six years old?

you can use STUFF and FOR XML PATH to do it. There are articles on here that show how -- I'm sure because I've read them. Just don't...

There's pretty much no way I would need them. The company is tiny (like 10 people), and they don't generate data like it's going out of style. I could...

I was trying to do the latter. Not the size restrictions etc. The idea was to upsize the Access back end to SQL Server (Express) and then use...

Not enough information. Show us what you tried first.

Some days, it helps if you think before typing...

you could do it in batches and use a TRY CATCH block for the failure, and write the failed group of records...
