Determine month from inside month row grouping

Hi guys,

i have a matrix that has two row groups, the first is month, the next is year. This is for year on year reporting, so the first two cells in each row are like this:

April 2005

April 2006

April 2007

May 2005

May 2006

May 2007

etc

in one of the columns of the matrix, i need to calculate a "per hour" figure, so i need to determine how many hours are in the month that groups this row.

So what i need to know is: how can i tell what month this row is? I don't care if the month is represented as text ("April") or an int (4), because the pseudo code for the expression will be:

<monthly dollar amount> / (24 * DateDiff("d", CDate("2006-<this month>-01"), DateAdd("M", CDate("2006-<this month>-01"), 1)))

Thanks for any suggestions!

sluggy

Duh, that was a stupid question... the answer was just to use the month dataset member as per usual This was the final expression for getting the number of hours in the month:

24 * DateDiff("d", CDate("2006-" + Fields!Calendar_Month.Value + "01"), DateAdd("M", 1, CDate("2006-" + Fields!Calendar_Month.Value + "01")))

Detecting the network UserID

Hey guys,
I would like to determine the network id of the current user so that I can
pass that value to a stored procedure that the report references.
I tried add the following code in the Code tab of the Report Properties tab:
Function GetUserID() AS String
Return System.Environment.UserName
End Function
I then referenced this function as the default value for the @.vcUserId
argument that the stored procedure wants by assigning =Code.GetUserID() as
the Non-queried default value for the report parameter.
This approach works well when I preview the report in Visual Studio.
Unfortunately, it fails when I deploy the report to the server.
Can anyone offer some suggestions on how to approach this issue?
Thanks in advance,
-JimI'd guess that the reason this doesn't work is because when you run it
in VS.net the application is running as you or some other acceptable
local user
(http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.environment.username.aspx).
When it runs online it probably can't execute or it returns the
ASP.NET worker process's user or something similar and not useful. I
know for ASP.NET you can call HttpContext.User.Idenity.Name (or
something similar, I'm working from memory mostly) to see who the
logged in user is, this might work better in report services. Or there
might be a separate way to get the current user from the report manager
that I'm not aware of.|||Use the global variable User!UserID.value
You can get to this with the expression builder. It returns domain\username,
if you don't want the domain then you will need to strip it off.
