I’ve got a report I am creating which has four matrix’s on one box underneath each other,
One shows revenue for one category and one for Count for the that category and another two for revenue and count for another category with dates as the columns and data as the values
The problem is, the dates don’t align as on one category there isn’t data for last week but the other category there is
What I am trying to get is the matrix’s to show a consistent rate alignment and if there is values show them but if there isn’t values so empty cells so the tables align
Can this be done?

Does anyone know if it is possible to create a graph(s) at run time based on the dataset?
To clarify, I have a count of patients suffering from a health condition, split by week. I need to make a graph per condition with weeks on the X axis and patient count on the Y. Nice and easy so far.
The problem is that the number of conditions displayed in the dataset will be different depending on the values entered for the start and end dates for the reporting date range.
With this in mind can I create a single graph then tell it to replicate once for each condition returned and only look at the data for that specific condition?
The graphs can't appear in rows as they must aggregate data from multiple rows (where the condition is the same) and plot the various count values over week numbers (the dataset returns a count, a week number and a condition with a group by on the week number and condition)
As an added challenge none of this can be hard coded as the single report has to work across multiple sites.
Thanks

Yes this is possible by first dropping a "Matrix" control into the report surface. With the Matrix control, you're able to display groups of data. In this case, your group will be the condition returned in your DataSet. Each group will have an embedded chart which will display data the same way, but only the data within the grouping you choose.
Step 1: Add a Matrix control to your report surface. Create a Row Group based on Condition (In my example, Year)
Step 2: Right Click the empty column on the right side of the Matrix control, and choose the option for Insert Column > Outside Group - Right. Then Delete the middle column.
Step 3: Right click the Right columns "Data" cell (which should be outside the grouping) and choose Insert > Chart. Select the desired chart type.
Step 4: Resize the column and row to view the chart in more detail. Edit the Chart Data to aggregate what you're wanting to show as the line, and pick your category groups.
Step 5: Test, and revist whichever step above needs adjusting.
I do a lot of reporting out of our Electronic Health Record using a Business Objects product, and one thing I run into frequently is records for which most of the columns are the same, but a few may have multiple different values.
For instance, a report I'm working on has 8 columns, mostly static information about the patient/encounter, some lab values, and a column for the consulting physician. All the columns will have only a single value per patient/encounter, except for consulting physician which may have multiple. I'd like to somehow set the table to show only a single row for the data that is unchanged, so they don't end up seeing the FIN, MRN, and lab values over and over.
However, as far as I've been able to tell with my fiddling around, I can only apply a section or break to a single column. Creating multiple sections or breaks nests them. Does anybody know of a way to treat multiple columns as sort of a composite section?
edit: I did try pulling the consulting physician column out into its own table and then setting the room number as a section, but it still caused repeated rows of the other data for any that had multiple consultings.
Additional edit: As requested here's a mockup of approximately what I'd like to see. This is mostly how it looks already when I tell BO to use the room number (the number in blue, top left of each row) as a section, however in the case of the third room, it would repeat the information in the first 5 columns for each consulting listed.
Couple of ways to do it, but putting breaks on each column is what I would do.
So, starting from "FIN" and working to "Attending", add a break on each column. It will add a summary row for each, so it will look like:
Then select the summary rows, right-click, and Delete:
I have a matrix table created with Rows as Days ,Columns as Months and quantity of rainfall as the data field(got all this information from same table 'Rainfall'). I have taken this data from a dataset containing multiple tables in SQL. All of this information displays properly.
Now I have many tables with date field in my dataset in tables other than 'Rainfall'.
In the data field of the matix I need to be able to add my own colors using a Switch case.
The Condition I need is "if a certain date from one table matches the date in my report then i want xxx colour."
eg: there is a table called fertilization which has 3 dates. Now if these 3 dates also exists in my matrix then that block should be colored blue.
Can anyone help me. Thanks!
You can also manage it from sql side while retrieving data from Rainfall table.
You can do this using by right clicking the field that you want the dynamic color on and selecting properties. Select Border and then where it says color hit, click the Fx button. Here you can write a custom expression that will change the background color based upon your code.
I have a table which is getting data from a query. Because I am not doing any calculation in SSRS, but instead in SQL and only pulling the data, I am having hard time figuring out how to customize the style for the last three rows.
Here is the design view:
Here is the preview:
Now as you can see the last three rows are either SUM or AVG of the above numbers. How can I make it so that the table displays a different background color for the bottom three rows?
You will need to add an expression for the text box format for the three rows that says something like:
=IIF(Fields![ARRIVED_DATE].Value="WEEKLY TOTAL","Grey",IIF(Fields![ARRIVED_DATE].Value="Prior Week","Red",IIF(Fields![ARRIVED_DATE].Value="12 WEEK AVERAGE","Green","Transparent")))
If i understand your point correctly this would be the solution =iif(total number of records(int)=rownumber(nothing), "Color1",iif(total number of records(int)-1=rownumber(nothing),"Color2",iif(total number of records(int)-2=rownumber(nothing),"Color3",""))) use this expression in Background color of row properties.
I have a report (RS2005, against a MSSS2005 instance) which I have inherited. It shows a basic table of data: a handful of key fields which are used to group rows together, a few basic numeric fields, then a number of dated ('bucketed') fields (e.g. 1 month away, 2 months, 6 months, a year, 2 years, etc.)
The user would like to group together these dated fields in aggregated groups and be able to collapse or expand the columns as you can the rows. So we'd be able to show the next year's values' subtotal or expand it to break it out by month. Hiding the invidual months if the subtotal is shown.
This is basic pivot table behaviour (and can be done with the Group/Subtotal feature on Excel - that's the closest analogous behaviour I could use to describe the requirements).
While grouping by rows seems trivial in RptgSvcs, grouping columns and collapsing a group into a single subtotal and blowing it out again, seems hard to impossible.
Unless someone knows better?
You should be able to do this by selecting the columns that you would like to hide and set their visibliity to be hidden.
Then set the toggle item on the hidden columns to be the textbox that shows the subtotal.
This textbox will then have the [+] symbol on it, and clicking will show/hide the your month-by-month breakout(the hidden columns).
On the right hand side of the table control on your report (RDL file), you should see icons representing the detail and grouping information for the table.
Here you can see whether or not a grouping has a header/footer and how it is calculated e.g. =SUM(fields!mySalesValue)
You can also set things like whether it is collapsed and so on
