Hi

This is 'awkward' -but it works. Maybe someone else will have a better idea.
First, recognize that '200611' is not immediately understandable as a valid date datatype.
SELECT left( convert( varchar(15), cast( ( '200611' + '01' ) AS datetime), 107 ), 3 ) + ' ' + left( '200611', 4 )

Some SQLs allow a YEAR TO MONTH data type; SQL Server is not one of
them. This is a shorthand for the range '2006-11-01 00:00:00' to
2006-11-31 23:59:59.99999' in Standard SQL. In this dialect, you will
need to build an auxiliary look up table to get those pairs.|||declare @.number int

2005 RDL Spec vs. Reporting Services Implementation

Just found another difference with the RDL Spec (Nov 05 and Dec 03 v ersions)

The correct cardinality relationship between Sorting and SortBy is being called into question

According to Reporting Services implementation

Sorting contains 1 to many SortBy elements

According to the Spec (05), page 49

Sorting contains exactly 1 SortBy element

According to Spec Diagram (05) Data Region Page (page 5)

Sorting contains 1 to many SortBy elements

So which is correct?

The same problem occurs with Grouping and GroupExpression

Also that same diagram says that a List contains 1 to many Sorting and 1 to many Grouping elements, but inside the spec it self those relationships are described as 1 to 1.

So hopefully I can get this straightened out.

Darren

A grouping can have multiple group expressions.

A sorting can have multiple sort expressions (SortBy elements).
