Need some help please - trying to create a weekly calendar report in SSRS

  • I need to create a weekly calendar report showing activities for each sales rep in a particular location. It should have the days of the week (M-F) horizontally across the top, and hours in the day (7am-5pm) vertically along the left hand side. Each day column should show activities scheduled for that rep for that day next to the appropriate time interval. Can anyone help me with an example of code you used to do this? I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

  • We need to know more about the schema you are getting the data from so we can write a query that returns the data you need to produce the report you want. I think I'd do something like this and then pivot the data in the report:

    DECLARE @people TABLE (ID INT, name VARCHAR(10));

    DECLARE @appointments TABLE

    (

    ID INT,

    PeopleID INT,

    AppointmentTime DATETIME

    );

    /* Calendar table down to the hour as it'll be needed to make sure you have a block for each hour */

    DECLARE @calendar TABLE

    (

    ID INT IDENTITY(1, 1),

    theDateStart DATETIME,

    theDateEnd DATETIME,

    theYear SMALLINT,

    theMonth TINYINT,

    theDay TINYINT,

    theHour TINYINT

    );

    WITH N AS (

    SELECT TOP 1000

    ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (

    SELECT

    NULL

    )) AS n

    FROM

    sys.all_columns AS AC

    )

    INSERT INTO @calendar

    (

    theDateStart,

    theDateEnd,

    theYear,

    theMonth,

    theDay,

    theHour

    )

    SELECT

    DATEADD(HOUR, -N.n,

    CONVERT(DATETIME, CONVERT(DATE, GETDATE()))) AS theDateStart,

    DATEADD(HOUR, -N.n + 1,

    CONVERT(DATETIME, CONVERT(DATE, GETDATE()))) AS theDateEnd,

    YEAR(DATEADD(HOUR, -N.n,

    CONVERT(DATETIME, CONVERT(DATE, GETDATE())))) AS theYear,

    MONTH(DATEADD(HOUR, -N.n,

    CONVERT(DATETIME, CONVERT(DATE, GETDATE())))) AS theMonth,

    DAY(DATEADD(HOUR, -N.n,

    CONVERT(DATETIME, CONVERT(DATE, GETDATE())))) AS theDay,

    DATEPART(HOUR,

    (DATEADD(HOUR, -N.n,

    CONVERT(DATETIME, CONVERT(DATE, GETDATE()))))) AS theHour

    FROM

    N

    INSERT INTO @people

    (ID, name)

    VALUES

    (0, -- ID - int

    'Jack' -- name - varchar(10)

    ),

    (1, -- ID - int

    'Steve' -- name - varchar(10)

    )

    INSERT INTO @appointments

    (ID, PeopleID, AppointmentTime)

    VALUES

    (0, -- ID - int

    0, -- PeopleID - int

    DATEADD(DAY, -7, GETDATE()) -- AppointmentTime - datetime

    ),

    (2, -- ID - int

    0, -- PeopleID - int

    DATEADD(HOUR, -4, DATEADD(DAY, -7, GETDATE())) -- AppointmentTime - datetime

    ),

    (3, -- ID - int

    1, -- PeopleID - int

    DATEADD(DAY, -6, GETDATE()) -- AppointmentTime - datetime

    ),

    (4, -- ID - int

    1, -- PeopleID - int

    DATEADD(HOUR, 2, DATEADD(DAY, -3, GETDATE())) -- AppointmentTime - datetime

    )

    SELECT

    C.ID,

    C.theDateStart,

    C.theDateEnd,

    P.ID,

    P.name,

    A.ID,

    A.PeopleID,

    A.AppointmentTime,

    DATENAME(WEEKDAY, C.theDateStart) AS theWeekDay

    FROM

    @calendar AS C

    LEFT JOIN @people AS P

    JOIN @appointments AS A

    ON P.ID = A.PeopleID

    ON A.AppointmentTime >= C.theDateStart AND

    A.AppointmentTime < C.theDateEnd

    WHERE

    C.theDateStart >= DATEADD(DAY, -7, CONVERT(DATE, GETDATE()))

    ORDER BY

    C.theDateStart;

    That's the best I can do with the little information you provided.

  • It is a SQL Server 2005 database. The activity record contains a startdate (datetime) field as well as an activity type and description. It joins to the employee table by activity.userid = employee.userid. The employee table also contains a location code, so you can select all employees for a particular location. They want the report to have 1 page for each employee within the selected location showing the activities for the upcoming week (date range parms) in the calendar format specified above. Not sure what other information you need. I've never used a matrix in a SSRS report before - is that what I need to use? If so, how do I set it up?
