Count Records in a Group

Hello All.
I'm running SSRS 2005 on top of a sql2000 database.
I need to create a report that counts the number of invoices salesreps
process per month.
The fields I have selected are;
SalesRep ID Invoice No Invoice Date
1 5467 2/22/2006 3:06:17 PM
5 4526 2/22/2006 3:29:56 PM
8 6589 6/14/2005 4:20:26 PM
5 8569 2/22/2006 3:29:56 PM
5 2563 6/10/2007 8:29:56 AM
5 1523 2/22/2006 3:29:56 PM
8 9876 8/23/2006 5:29:56 PM
1 7563 4/23/2006 1:29:56 PM
What i want to do is group by Salesrep ID, then show the total number of
invoices that rep did per month;
SalesRep ID Month TotalInvoices Processed
1 Jan 4
Feb 2
Mar 5
5 Jan 5
Feb 6
Mar 3
8 Jan 2
Feb 10
Mar 20 ... and so on.
I'm not sure exactly how to do this. Also how do I convert the date format
into just showing the month, not every minute of every day?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks.You want to do this with the sql statement. Since you didn't show your SQL I
had to make up names.
select a.salesrepid, datepart(month, a.invoicedate) as month, count(*) as
invoices_count from yourtable a
group by a.salesrepid, datepart(month, a.invoicedate)
order by a.salesrepid, month
Note this gives you month by number which is what you need in order to order
it properly, if you want by month name then add that in and still order by
the month number to keep in in the proper order.

Here is the statement;
SELECT TOP 100 PERCENT dbo.invoice_hdr.salesrep_id,
dbo.invoice_hdr.order_date
FROM dbo.contacts INNER JOIN
dbo.invoice_hdr ON dbo.contacts.id =dbo.invoice_hdr.salesrep_id

which is what you get without the TOP syntax.

the DATENAME(month, invoice_date) returns the month only.
How do i get it to return the month and year. I will be setting this up as a
parameter query;
Between @.StartDate and @.EndDate
and want the user to put in May 07 and June 07
thanks again.

Count of Counts in SQL Server

Hi folks,

I have the following query to run:

select count(
select count(*)
from student
group by firstName
having count(*) > 1)

Basically, I first need to get a count of all students that have the same first name, then I need total count of all those students. How can I change the above query to get the result I need?

Thanks so much!

-Parulthat doesn't make any sense

a count of a count will always be 1|||why is that so? how do we get a count of all those rows that appear in the inner query?|||okay, let's break this problem down into steps

could you please run the inner query all by itself and show me what you get|||Since the inner select query has a group by field, the number of rows it returned may be more than one also.|||it shows you different counts by student first name; the result looks like:
count
--
5
24
2
23
2|||ah yes, okay, then i think what you want is this --select count(*)
from (
select count(*)
from student
group by firstName
having count(*) > 1
) as counts|||Exactly, but this is giving me the following error:

No column was specified for column 1 of 'counts'.|||I got it! The inner select column needs an alias.
select count(*)
from (
select count(*) as 'cnt'
from student
group by firstName
having count(*) > 1
) as counts

Thanks so much for your help!

Count Invisible ReportItems in Page Footer?

I have a textbox in my page footer with an expression like this: Sum(iif(
(ReportItems!textbox56.Value = "Complete"),1,0)). Basically it counts how
many times "Complete" comes up in a page. I also have a parameter which can
filter out any "Complete" values using the visibility of the detail row. My
problem is that I still want a count of the Complete values, even if they are
filtered out on the page. When I run the report with no filters, it shows me
exactly how many Completes there are per page. However, it will not count
the Completes when they are filtered out by page. How can I get the page
footer to count them even when they are hidden?Sorry, this is not supported in RS 2000. The good news is that this will
change in RS 2005 and conditionally (expression-based) hidden items won't be
taken into account in page header/footer calculations.

Make custom dll which has a method which takes filter expression as input
and connects to same datasource using ado.net and fetches the same records.
Then calculate no of "complete"s in table and return the value to report.
Please see using custom assemblies in Reporting Services. Its very powerful!
