Welcome to Salvo(z)

I recently attended a Pragmatic Works webinar entitled ‘New SSIS Features and Enhancements in Denali’ presented by Jamie Thomson.  The following are my notes from the webinar.

I attended a Pragmatic Works webinar entitled ‘Analysis Services Design Mistakes and How to Avoid Them’ presented by Devin Knight.  The following is an overview of the key ideas presented in the webinar.

In SSRS, multi-value parameters cannot contain null values.  If you create a multi-value parameter in SSRS and check the option “Allow null value”,  the following error message is displayed.

If you need to fill part of a chart area with a specified color (e.g. to highlight an acceptable range of values) one way to accomplish this task is to add an additional series.  In this example, all values less than 480 are considered ‘acceptable’ and are therefore shaded green.

This past Saturday was International Learn To Fly Day, so I volunteered to help out at my local FBO/Flight School, Wisconsin Aviation. I am currently taking private pilot lessons thru Wisconsin Aviation and so while I can’t give out airplane rides, I thought I could do my part in sharing the gift of flight by helping out with the open house.
