Divide By Zero Ssrs Expression
Error up vote 13 down vote favorite 5 I have a tablix box that has a division expression. When dividing by zero or nulls I get #Error displayed in my report. I tried to create an IIF statement and tested with static values. This verified my syntax was correct but I still see the error on my reports. =IIF(Sum(Fields!CY_Dollars.Value)=0, 0, (Sum(Fields!CY_Dollars.Value) - Sum(Fields!PY_Dollars.Value))/(Sum(Fields!PY_Dollars.Value))) So I'm taking ssrs add function to report Current year dollars, subtracting Previous year dollars, and dividing that total by previous year dollars to get the percentage change. Is there a trick to this that I'm not getting?! reporting-services ssrs-tablix ssrs-expression share|improve this question edited Dec 3 '15 at 5:16 pedram 3,28131840 asked Oct 4 '13 at 19:19 d90 3342415 You mentioned that there are nulls in your data? Try nesting each field call in a NULL replacement function. For example, I would the format IIF(Fields!PY_Dollars.Value = Nothing, 0, Fields!PY_Dollars.Value = Nothing) for each Fields!PY_Dollars.Value in the current formula. Better yet, handle the nulls in the source query instead. –Eric Hauenstein Oct 4 '13 at 19:59 The condition in your IIF statement is not checking for zero denominator (you are checking for zero in CY, not PY value). Instead, try: =IIF(Sum(Fields!PY_Dollars.Value)=0, 0, (Sum(Fields!CY_Dollars.Value) - Sum(Fields!PY_Dollars.Value))/(Sum(Fields!PY_Dollars.Value))) –rpyzh Feb 14 '14 at 3:23 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 31 down vote accepted You can add a function to your report code that handles the divide by zero condition, this makes it a bit easier to implement in multiple cells, e.g. Public Function Divider (ByVal Dividend

#error In Ssrs Report

zero, even though I'm using an IIF. The column displays in the report as "#Error". My expression looks like this: = IIF(Fields!Qty.Value = 0, "None", Fields!Hours.Value / Fields!Qty.Value) I have successfully http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19189132/ssrs-expression-divide-by-zero-error used this approach with INT fields, but this time the Hours field is a NUMERIC(9,2). My workaround is to do this: IIF(Fields!Qty.Value = 0, "None", IIF(Fields!Qty.Value = 0, 42, Fields!Hours.Value) / Fields!Qty.Value) I guess the 42 is cast to an INT inside the second IIF and the calculation works. What's strange is that the division would even be carried https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/ef1a0375-414e-41f4-b32f-3b782c5b4c85/error-using-iif-and-divide-by-zero?forum=sqlreportingservices out in the event of Qty = 0 from the first IIF, because the expression should just evaluate to "None" and that would be that. Has anybody run into this problem? Is my workaround the recommended approach? -Larry Friday, January 19, 2007 3:56 PM Reply | Quote Answers 9 Sign in to vote Hi Larry, I recommend to add a custom code function for the division (in Report -> Report Properties -> Code): Public Function Divide(ByVal first As Double, ByVal second As Double) As Double If second = 0 Then Return 0 Else Return first / second End If End Function Then, modify the expression accordingly: = IIF(Fields!Qty.Value = 0, "None", Code.Divide(Fields!Hours.Value, Fields!Qty.Value)) -- Robert Tuesday, January 23, 2007 2:52 AM Reply | Quote Owner All replies 0 Sign in to vote Lawrence Try IIf(Fields!Income2.Value = 0, nothing,Fields!Income.Value/Fields!Income2.Value) This works for me when my value is zero Ham Friday, January 19, 2007 9:37 PM Reply | Quote 9 Sign in to vote Hi Larry, I recommend to ad
in this code: Function CalculateFraction(ByVal Numerator As Double, ByVal Denominator As Double) As Double If Denominator= 0 Then CalculateFraction = 0 divide by zero Else CalculateFraction = Numerator / Denominator End If Return CalculateFraction End Function Now insert the following expression into the desired textbox and format according: =Code.CalculateFraction(Fields!Numerator.Value, Fields!Denominator.Value) You could also use the following IIF expression: =IIF(Fields!Denominator.Value = 0, 0, Fields!Numerator.Value / IIF(Fields!Denominator.value = 0, 1, Fields!Denominator.Value)) But the best thing about using the Embedded Code it's easier to use and reusable.
Copyright 2009. Reporting Services Tips.zero. But, SSRS function behaves weird when they meet an expression that can lead to divide by zero error. A common report will show the amount of sale compare the target sales. To check if the sales amount meets the target we will divide the sale amount by the target. If one of the store managers on our network haven't entered the planned sale amount yet, it will be zero (on the null) and will cause an error. To keep our report (and gauge) clean, we will try a simple error handling. For example I used the database ContosoRetailDW. You may download this database from here. I think this database is simpler than AdventureWorks and I prefer to make my demos on it. I update the target of Amsterdam store and made it zero: update [dbo].[FactSalesQuota] set SalesAmountQuota=0 , SalesQuantityQuota=0 where storekey=240 /* Contoso Amsterdam Store */and ScenarioKey=2 /* Target */ After that I built the query that will be used by the report. The query show sales compare to target for five stores. select StoreName , sum(SalesAmount) as SalesAmount , sum(SalesAmountQuota) as SalesAmountQuota from ( SELECT s.StoreName , SalesAmount , 0 SalesAmountQuota FROM dbo.FactSales f inner join dbo.DimStore s on f.StoreKey=s.StoreKey where s.StoreKey between 240 and 245 /* 5 Stores Only, To keep the report simple */ union all select s.StoreName , 0 as SalesAmount , SalesAmountQuota from dbo.FactSalesQuota F inner join dbo.DimStore s on f.StoreKey=s.StoreKey where f.ScenarioKey=2 /* Budget */ and s.StoreKey between 240 and 245 ) H group by StoreName I had to use the Union operator instead of join to connect the quota table into the sale table because there could be a store that sold something but doesn't have quota yet and there could be a store that has a quota defined but hasn't sold anything yet. The Query returned those results: I have build a report with the expression Amount Sales / Quota to show how well did we meet our goals. After running the report I got a #Error on
