A couple of things with my new report

I have made a report in SRS and am not sure of how to do some of the functions I need.

In SQL I can use UPPER to convert to upper case, SRS doesn't seem to like this. When I add UPPER to the SQL in my SRS report, the report runs but the line that is to be upper case is missing. If I remove the UPPER word from my query it works fine just displaying in lower case. Am I doing something wrong?

In Excel 2007 (I am converting my report from Excel to SRS) there is a function called NETWORKDAYS (Returns the number of whole working days between start_date and end_date. Working days exclude weekends and any dates identified in holidays. Use NETWORKDAYS to calculate employee benefits that accrue based on the number of days worked during a specific term.) Is there something similar I can use in SRS?

Thanks.

Why not put all of your TSQL into a stored procedure? I have just completed a project where this was done.

It is possible to write such a function - I wrote one recently - will try and find a reference to it.

|||Table definition and stored procedure to add workdays is

if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[Holiday]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1)
drop table [dbo].[Holiday]
GO
if not exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[Holiday]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1)
BEGIN
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Holiday] (
[Id] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,
[YYYYMMDD] [char] (8) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
END
GO
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Holiday] WITH NOCHECK ADD
CONSTRAINT [PK_Holiday] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[Id]
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX [IX_Holiday] ON [dbo].[Holiday]([YYYYMMDD]) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
