Replace your current bit of totalling code... everything after the comment saying "set variables for totals" and before the one saying "start the output of table headers".

OK. What about the missing beginning of the loop? I'd guess about where to start it, but I'm sure I'd be wrong.

I ended up getting a book for SRS too because I'm going to need to learn it.

I got this one.

Fuck - Peter this was to you.

Oh bugger! Told you I wasn't awake. That should be a </cfoutput> not a </cfloop>. Like this:

code:
<cfquery name="KilnsById" dbtype="query">
	SELECT *
	FROM Kilns
	ORDER BY ruhId ASC
</cfquery>
 
<cfset TotalTotal = 0 />
<cfset InTotal = [] />
<cfoutput query="KilnsById" group="ruhId">
	<cfset InTotal[ruhId] = 0 />
	<cfoutput>
		<cfset InTotal[ruhId] += rudTotal />
	</cfoutput>
	<cfset TotalTotal += InTotal[ruhId] />
</cfoutput>


(Although, ideally it should all be a cfloop, and whoever at Allaire thought it was a good idea to implement grouping on cfoutput and not on cfloop should be kicked hard.)

That's because I did another stupid thing, and gave you an array instead of a structure.

Change:
code:
<cfset InTotal = [] />

to:
code:
<cfset InTotal = {} />


Sorry. :(

Not a problem at all. It didn't work, but I'm taking a break and going to look at the SQL Reporting side of it for a bit. It has me confused and I need a break!

 

Thanks for your time!

Paeter most of my issue wasn't coding at all. My database contains both consumed and produced product. I only wanted to add consumed and ignore the produced.

 

Armed with that information I kicked it's ass and now have it adding what I want.

 

Appreciate you taking the time to whisper sweet nothings in my ear!

Well my book came today, and I was able to make a report right off the get go. SQL Server Reporting Services is very similar to CF. There is still a bit of logic I need to figure out, and figure out how to implement it in the SSRS using the right code, but so far so good!

What do you suggest the best way to put this data in to a database so I can use it to compare against another database?

 

I will need to check for type of wood and thickness and then pull that value to multiply by.

Um... interesting question.

Not really sure at the moment - would depend what the data to compare against was like.

If it's just standalone data, I'd probably go ahead with one table:

code:
 
CREATE TABLE wood_costs
( species VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL
, thickness TINYINT NOT NULL
, cost      SMALLINT DEFAULT NULL
);
 
INSERT INTO wood_costs ('Red Oak',3,85);
INSERT INTO wood_costs ('Red Oak',4,85);
...
INSERT INTO wood_costs ('Hard Maple',7,135);
...
INSERT INTO wood_costs ('Other Hardwood',16,285);
 


Then extract distinct species and loop through ordered by thickness for outputting cost.

Though some might argue for three tables (with IDs for species and thickness to avoid duplicating data), but not sure that makes practical sense here.

I'm now a bit paranoid that I'm missing the point entirely in what you're asking, and you actually meant something else? :S

No, you understood it perfectly. And that's what I thinking. Just have to either loop through and compare or compare with the sql statement right?

Probably better to compare actual data than SQL statements.

Sweet. Wish I had the proper ports forwarded on my server so I could show you the report. I might get around to that some day.

How do you center a page in XML? I tried <center></center> and it threw a bitch fit.

Well you don't use <center></center> at all for anything, really, because that's not even real HTML.

And you don't "center a page in XML" because XML, in general, describes data rather than layout/formatting, so doesn't have a concept of centering.

To give you a useful answer, I need more information.

What are you actually using - is it XHTML, is it file.xml with a related file.xslt, or is it something else?

Do you mean center like this:
I am centered text
in a left-aligned box.


Or like this:
I'm a centered box,
with left aligned text

Why are the center tags not proper html?

I'm try to do the 2nd example you posted there.

I have a report made and I would like the whole thing centered on the page.

This is an example of the code that I can see.

code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Report xmlns:rd="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SQLServer/reporting/reportdesigner" xmlns:cl="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2010/01/componentdefinition" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2010/01/reportdefinition">
  <AutoRefresh>0</AutoRefresh>
  <DataSources>
    <DataSource Name="KilnData">
      <DataSourceReference>KilnData</DataSourceReference>
      <rd:SecurityType>None</rd:SecurityType>
      <rd:DataSourceID>0915e801-0c00-4013-a86a-3762972008de</rd:DataSourceID>
    </DataSource>

Because proper HTML is for describing the meaning, not what it looks like (that's what CSS is for).

If this was anything other than Microsoft, I'd say you have an XSLT file somewhere, which transforms that XML into HTML, and you would just need to locate that file and set the left and right margins to "auto" (and assign a fixed width) and the report would be centered.

(That box above was simply <div style="background-color:silver; width:350px; margin:auto;">I'm a centered box,<br />with left aligned text.</div>)

But - because it's Microsoft - they've probably invented their own way of doing it, just because that's what Microsoft does.

And it looks like they have, with their RDL thing. So what you need to do is read their documentation on Layout / Page and see if you can set LeftMargin and RightMargin to auto, or if you need to calculate explicit values to use.

Didn't you mention you had a book on SSRS? This is probably mentioned in there somewhere.

If by "enterprisey" means "bloated worthless shite that appears better on paper but actually takes ten times as much effort to do anything with because it was designed to solve the wrong problem", then yes, it is.
