Hopefully you can help!
I have a single data source in my SSRS report. With this data source, I have populated a tablix. The tablix looks something like this:
SalesPerson ID Group Sales
Sarah 1 1 1234
Ross 2 1 555
Gemma 3 2 678
Jill 4 2 345
Jack 5 3 987
Peter 6 2 432
Henry 7 2 356
The report is set up to create a different page for each of the sales people. for example, on the first page of the report, only first record would be shown (the record that holds Sarah's information, the second page would show the record for Ross' information ,etc..)
The issues I face is this:
At the bottom of the report, I need to include a textbox that displays the group number that the specific employee belongs to (the employee who is currently being displayed on the page).
I think that I need to do some sort of lookup on the IDReportItem to return the group ID in order to do this, but have had no luck in my attempts.
I understand that this is a horrible way of doing things, but I am limited to using this single dataset for performing this task.
Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated,
Thanks you!
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way to do this in a single textbox, but you can do it with a second tablix that uses the same dataset.
Create your second tablix and position it at the bottom of the page, then set your grouping to be the same on both tablixes and use the second tablix to only display the group ID, plus whatever label you want.
Create a new row group for each tablix (grouping on group ID), then right click the group and browse to Group Properties -> Page Breaks and check the box that says "Between each instance of a group". Do this for both tablixes.
This is what grouping is designed for. Build your table, and set the page break attribute to true.
You can have multiple rows under your group. Since your group is a field, simply add it to the detail row.
Your grouping is obviously set up right to get the report paging correctly.
You could add a List to the report, set the grouping on that (with page break between groups)
Inside the list - Add a RECTANGLE. (this be important!)
Once you've added the rectangle, you can add another as many objects as you like. In your case I think that may be a matrix and a text box
eg
Then it just becomes as spacing issue (to get the page looking right)

I have a Cognos report that has four different sections/layouts, each containing their own list. I would like to use one section to perform calculations using another list from another section. Is that possible?
For example:
Section Two contains a list with Name, Week1 Commissions, Week2 Commissions, etc
I want Section One to calculate the first 11 weeks only so the List in Section One would contain
Name, Weeks 1 through 11 total.
What is the best way to make this happen if it's possible.
Section One would contain these columns which would perform the calculations
Name Week 1-11 totals |
Section Two would have these columns
Name Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 .....
Best,
Kev
Yes it is possible, and you can perform all of the logic in one query
There are many ways to do this
For example, the four different sections/layouts, selecting the list, go to properties you can use the same query for each list
I want to define a cube measure in a SSAS Analysis Services Cube (multidimensional model) that calculates ratios for the selection a user makes for a predefined hierarchy. The following example illustrates the desired behavior:
|-City----|---|
| Hamburg | 2 |
| Berlin | 1 |
| Munich | 3 |
This is my base table. What I want to achieve is a cube measure that calculates ratios based on a users' selection. E.g. when the user queries Hamburg (2) and Berlin (1) the measure should return the values 67% (for Hamburg) and 33% (for Berlin). However if Munich (3) is added to the same query, the return values would be 33% (Hamburg), 17% (Berlin) and 50% (Munich). The sum of the values should always equal to 100% no matter how many hierarchy members have been included into the MDX query.
So far I came up with different measures, but they all seem to suffer from the same problem that is it seems impossible to access the context of the whole MDX query from within a cell.
My first approach to this was the following measure:
[Measures].[Ratio] AS SUM([City].MEMBERS,[Measures].[Amount])/[Measures].[Amount]
This however sums up the amount of all cities regardless of the users selection and though always returns the ratio of a city with regards to the whole city hierarchy.
I also tried to restrict the members to the query context by adding the EXISTING keyword.
[Measures].[Ratio] AS SUM(EXISTING [City].MEMBERS,[Measures].[Amount])/[Measures].[Amount]
But this seems to restrict the context to the cell which means that I get 100% as a result for each cell (because EXISTING [City].MEMBERS is now restricted to a cell it only returns the city of the current cell).
I also googled to find out whether it is possible to add a column or row with totals but that also seems not possible within MDX.
The closest I got was with the following measure:
[Measures].[Ratio] AS SUM(Axis(1),[Measures].[Amount])/[Measures].[Amount]
Along with this MDX query
SELECT {[Measures].[Ratio]} ON 0, {[City].[Hamburg],[City].[Berlin]} ON 1 FROM [Cube]
it would yield the correct result. However, this requires the user to put the correct hierarchy for this specific measure onto a specific axis - very error prone, very unintuitive, I don't want to go this way.
Are there any other ideas or approaches that could help me to define this measure?
I would first define a set with the selected cities
[GeoSet] AS {[City].[Hamburg],[City].[Berlin]}
Then the Ratio
[Measures].[Ratio] AS [Measures].[Amount]/SUM([GeoSet],[Measures],[Amount])
To get the ratio of that city to the set of cities. Lastly
SELECT [Measures].[Ratio] ON COLUMNS,
[GeoSet] ON ROWS
FROM [Cube]
Whenever you select a list of cities, change the [GeoSet] to the list of cities, or other levels in the hierarchy, as long as you don't select 2 overlapping values ([City].[Hamburg] and [Region].[DE6], for example).
Hi I was wondering if there is a way to split long column values in this case I am using SSRS to get the distinct values with the number of product ID against a category into a matrix/pivot table in SSRS. The problem lies with the amount of distinct category makes it a nightmare to make the report look pretty shall we say. Is there a dynamic way to split the columns in say groups of 10 to make the table look nicer and easy to read. I was thinking of using in operator then the list of values but that means managing the data every time a new category gets added. Is there a dynamic way to present the data in the best way possible? There are 135 distinct category values
Also I am open to suggestions to make the report to nicer if anyone has any thoughts. I am new to SSRS and trying to get to grips with its.
Here is an example of my problem
enter image description here
Are your column names coming back from the database under the SubCat field you note in the comments above? If so I imagine your dataset looks something like this
Subcat | Logno
---------+---------------
SubCatA | 34
SubCatB | 65
SubCatC | 120
SubCatD | 8
SubCatE | 19
You can edit this so that there is an index of each individual category being returned also, using the Row_Number() function. Add the field
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY SubCat ASC) AS ColID
To your query. This will result in the following.
Subcat | LogNo | ColID
-----------+--------------+----------
SubCatA | 34 | 1
SubCatB | 65 | 2
SubCatC | 120 | 3
SubCatD | 8 | 4
SubCatE | 19 | 5
Now there is a numeric identifier for each column you can perform some logic on it to arrange itself nicely on the page.
This solution involves a Tablix, nested inside a Matrix nested inside a Matrix as follows
First create a Matrix (Matrix1), and set it’s datasource to your dataset. Set the Row Group Properties to group on the following expression where ‘4’ is the number of columns you wish to display horizontally.
=CInt(Floor((Fields!ColID.Value - 1) / 4))
Then in the data section of the Matrix (bottom right corner) insert a rectangle and on this insert a new Matrix (Matrix 2). Remove the leftmost row. Set the column header to be the Column Name SubCat. This will automatically set the column grouping to be SubCat.
Finally, in the Data Section of Matrix 2 add a new Rectangle and Add a Tablix on it. Remove the Header Row, and set it to be one column wide only. Set the Data to be the information you wish to display, i.e. LogNo.
Finally, delete the Leftmost and Topmost rows/columns from Matrix 1 to make it look tidier (Note Delete Column Row only! Not associated groups!)
Then when the report is run it should look similar to the following. Note in my example SubCat = ColName, and LogNo = NumItems, and I have multiple values per SubCat.
Hopefully you find this helpful. If not, please ask for clarification.
Can you do something like this:
The following gives the steps (in two columns, down then across)
Not sure if this is doable but I just wonder say if my data set got this structure
Department, Team, Service, Area
and I got a measure lets call it #count that count all rows in this table.
When create a powerview chart I want to be able to drill down by Department, Team, Service and Area.
However if say in Area there are following attributes
Area 1 - 10 rows
Area 2 - 5 rows
Area 3 - 3 rows
Is it possible to stop drill down if count row in certain area is less than 5 per se?
Appreciate all advice.
Many thanks

New to Access here... I asked a similar question the other day, but have a new twist for a different form I am creating.
Say I have a table (tblNamesAndValues) that looks like this:
Name Value
---- ----
Mary 100
Carrie 500
Terri 999
Gerrie 749
I have created a form that displays all four names and values.
My question is this: how can you make the form display only the names Mary and Terri and their values, and have the values in updateable textboxes? On top of that, is there any way to only display those two, and not the blanks underneath that allow new entries?
Thanks in advance...
You can filter the form or use a query instead of the table as table source:
select * from tblNamesAndValues where name = "Mary" or name = "Terry"
For disabling the blank line, just set the AllowAdditions property of the form to false.
