CRM 4.0: Custom Report -> Incorrect syntax near ...

The customer had an issue with a custom CRM 4.0 report.
It seems this error occured now because the SQL Server run with 2008 instead of 2005 or the report indeed had a bug. (Thanks to SQL Profiler, I found it.)

The customer had this error coming up:
Query execution failed for dataset '....'.
Incorrect syntax near '20140913'

After analysing the report XML I figured out the problem:

DECLARE @SQL AS NVARCHAR(MAX)
SET @SQL = '
SELECT
CRMAF_FilteredAccount.accountid,
CRMAF_FilteredContact.firstname,
CRMAF_FilteredContact.jobtitle,
CRMAF_FilteredContact.lastname,
CRMAF_FilteredContact.telephone1
FROM (' + @CRM_FilteredAccount + ') AS CRMAF_FilteredAccount INNER JOIN FilteredContact AS CRMAF_FilteredContact
ON CRMAF_FilteredAccount.accountid = CRMAF_FilteredContact.parentcustomerid
ORDER BY CRMAF_FilteredContact.lastname'
EXEC(@SQL)

The red must be replaced with:

DECLARE @SQL AS NVARCHAR(MAX)
SET @SQL = '
SELECT
CRMAF_FilteredAccount.accountid,
CRMAF_FilteredContact.firstname,
CRMAF_FilteredContact.jobtitle,
CRMAF_FilteredContact.lastname,
CRMAF_FilteredContact.telephone1
FROM (' + @CRM_FilteredAccount + ') AS CRMAF_FilteredAccount INNER JOIN (' + @CRM_FilteredContact + ') AS CRMAF_FilteredContact
ON CRMAF_FilteredAccount.accountid = CRMAF_FilteredContact.parentcustomerid
ORDER BY CRMAF_FilteredContact.lastname'
EXEC(@SQL)

And I had to insert the appropriate and equivalent new report and query parameter for it.

SQL Profiler Output:
exec sp_executesql N'declare @binUserGuid varbinary(128)
           declare @userGuid uniqueidentifier
           select @userGuid = N''{2691f84a-3327-e111-926d-001e0bd1e5c0}''
           set @binUserGuid = cast(@userGuid as varbinary(128))
           set context_info @binUserGuid
           --DECLARE @CRM_FilteredAccount AS NVARCHAR(MAX)
--SET @CRM_FilteredAccount = ''select * from filteredaccount''
DECLARE @SQL AS NVARCHAR(MAX)
SET @SQL = ''
SELECT
CRMAF_FilteredAccount.accountid,
CRMAF_FilteredContact.firstname,
CRMAF_FilteredContact.jobtitle,
CRMAF_FilteredContact.lastname,
CRMAF_FilteredContact.telephone1
FROM ('' + @CRM_FilteredAccount + '') AS CRMAF_FilteredAccount INNER JOIN (select contact0.* from FilteredContact as contact0 where ( contact0.modifiedonutc >= ''20140913 22:00:00'' and contact0.modifiedonutc <= ''20141014 12:05:42'' )) as CRMAF_FilteredContact
ON CRMAF_FilteredAccount.accountid = CRMAF_FilteredContact.parentcustomerid
ORDER BY CRMAF_FilteredContact.lastname''
EXEC(@SQL)',N'@CRM_FilteredAccount nvarchar(156)',@CRM_FilteredAccount=N'select account0.* from FilteredAccount as account0 where ( account0.modifiedonutc >= ''20140913 22:00:00'' and account0.modifiedonutc <= ''20141014 12:05:42'' )'


The important difference is how the parameters will be replaced in the final query (red).

Yet Another Address Autocomplete PCF Control–powered by Bing

In this blog post I will not go into detail in how to install all the pre-requisites that are required to build and run PCF controls. My goal was to build a new PCF control and get into coding of PCF controls as fast as possible. Here are a few links to articles that will help you installing the pre-requisites (Microsoft PowerApps CLI)  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/component-framework/get-powerapps-cli Other good references to get into this topic: https://toddbaginski.com/blog/how-to-create-a-powerapps-pcf-control/ https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/component-framework/create-custom-controls-using-pcf I looked through the Guido Preite’s https://pcf.gallery/ which will help you find appropriate use cases / examples for your own needs. It did not take very long to find a simple example to start with: Andrew Butenko's https://pcf.gallery/address-autocomplete/ A few moments later I had the idea to create yet another address autocomplete...

Power Automate: Avoid Apply to Each for List rows action (DataVerse)

If you do not want to use the Apply to Each loop after a Dataverse List rows action you can use the following in a Dynamic Content / Expression box to directly use a field's value in e.g. Compose action: first(outputs('List_rows')?['body/value'])?['apx_fullpath'] instead of apx_fullpath you can use whatever field name you need for the entity that's been queried before.

How to add your personal PowerBI Dashboard as a system dashboard

New Approach: Attention: Microsoft added this feature out of the box, so that the manual approach below is not required anymore. More to this can be found here: https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-embedded-as-system-dashboard-in-model-driven-apps-preview/ Old Approach: The general guideline on how to create a personal dashboard is described in this article: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/user/add-powerbi-dashboards But what if you want to rollout a global PowerBI dashboard for all users? With some tweaks you can manage it to make it work… 1. After you have created your personal dashboard you need to extract the formxml of that dashboard with this URL query in a browser tab: https://org.crm4.dynamics.com/api/data/v9.1/userforms?$select=name,formxml&$filter=type eq 103 and name eq 'Ticket Status' Replace… type = 103 => PowerBi Dashboard name = 'Your PowerBI Dashboard Name' In the result copy the XML part out of the "formxm...
