如何在SRS报告中为字符串值设置指标？

Question

i have SSRS report. Here i have an column named "Confirmed", if the value of this column is "Confirmed" then indicator will show green light. But i cannot set the condition for string value in Indicator's expression. How can i do it. Please help me.

Answer 1

Indicators can only use numerical values, but there's a couple of methods you can still use.

One would be to make a confirmed_number column in your dataset by using CASE or DECODE :

Decode(confirmed, "Confirmed", 1, 0) AS confirmed_number

Another would be to decode the existing confirmed column in the Value parameter of your Indicator:

=IIF(Fields!CONFIRMED.Value = "Confirmed", 1, 0)

Either way you have a numerical value that the Indicator can use. Set the States Measurement Unit to Numeric, and set the Start and End values of your green icon to 1.

If you want an alternative to using the indicator, you can set the BackgroundColor of a text box based on your confirmed text like in Marco's comment:

=IIF(Me.Value = "Confirmed", "Green", "Red")
