I inherited an SQL Reporting Services .rdl project from somebody and need help fixing some functionality.
In each row of the report, there is a subreport. In order to save space the subreport is divided into 3. Such that in each row of the report, it splits the data of the subreport into 3 smaller tables. Right now, it fills these 3 subreports horizontally. (ie. if the result has 9 values, the first subtable will have 1, 4 & 7, the second subtable will have 2, 5 & 8, etc)
Is there a way to have it fill the subtables vertically? (ie. the first subtable would have 1,2 & 3)
Thanks!
By default, the multi-column reports should fill vertically. In fact, there isnt even an option to fill horizontally so i'd like to know how it is being done. Perhaps the underlying query has been modified?
In fact, I took a deeper look into the query and it turns out that the column number is being passed as a report parameter and the results are being reordered using a modulo on the column number. I don't have it with me right now, so I don't have the exact syntax.
More info for anyone trying to do this:
it turns out that the subreport query gerates a column which indicates the row number
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY columnName ORDER BY otherColumn) AS RowNumber
Then in the report, the subreport is included 3 times. Each subreport has a report parameter called Column, the first one is of value 1, the second 2 and the last one 0. The subreport then has a filter on it
=RowNumber Mod 3 = Column
that way the subreport results are divided into 3 supreports that can all be placed on the same row to save space.

I can't seem to figure out how to select instances where values in the green circle would be highlighted/selected for every parent/orange-circle value. What would this sort of operation be called?
Trying to translate that into an understandable requirement: You want to select (means filter for) "Load IDs" which have more than 1 "Purchase Order Numbers"?
That's what it reads to me from your data grid because the PO Number is the one that changes the query grain and causes two rows. Everything else is the same.
If that's the case then create a measure which counts the PO Numbers and filter on that.
I have a requirement for a dynamic report where the user can select what columns they want to display. This is not a problem for me to do using render variable, however, the measures are not rolling up.
As an example, I have age, gender and sales. This generates say, age 20 and 25, and obviously 2 genders, resulting in 4 rows.
When you remove gender using the static choices in the prompt page, it keeps 4 rows, just without displaying the age. I understand this is the nature of 'rendering' (or not) the column.
What I need is for the measures to roll up to what columns are left, which would show 2 rows, and a total. Or even remove all columns, and have just an overall total sales left.
I cant really use conditional blocks to create every combination as there is going to be 20+ columns in the report.
Thanks in advance!!
Change you conditionally rendered field to something like
case when ?render_gender? then [Gender] else '' end
This should zip your four rows to two.
My ssrs has three row groups nested, and in one of the rows the report runs many times.
I'd like to add something simple to the rows, such as "%" at the end, but only on the first row returned, not the rest of the dynamic rows. My idea was to use:
=RowNumber("detailsGroup") but all that returns is one for each row. Is there another SSRS method?
I was also thinking of using the "is" operator and comparing the dynamic values to the First operator, but running the report gave #ERROR.
If you are using groups you should be able to use Previous() function.
EXample:
Group 1 - ClientName
Group 2 - Region
Group 3 - SubRegion
Detail - data for above 3 groups
If I just want to add something in one of the detail data then I would use ..
=Fields!CallReason.Value + IIF(Previous(Fields!ClientName.Value) <> Fields!ClientName.Value , " Add Text For First Line", "")
I'd like to count a text-string in every page on a report and print out the count of the strings in the page-footer.
Searching for a string in a text field is straight forward, counting the findings within the text-field too, but how is it possible to sum the findings in a integer variable per report-page when it has several entries?
i.e. I´ve got a report-page like this where each new line is a new record.
Here the first report-page:
aaaaaaF
aaaaaFF
ffaaaaaaaaa
FaaaaaFF
Now the page-footer:
There are 4 records. The letter "F" has been found 6 times on this report page.
Now the second report-page:
aaaFaaF
aaaaaF
fFaaaaaaaaa
FaaaFaFF
FFaaaaFa
page-footer:
There are 5 records. The letter "F" has been found 10 times on this report page.
I'd be happy if smdy has an advice for me.
Thanks!
First step is to figure out how many occurances of "f" occur in each record. Which you can do using
= Len([myField]) - Len(Replace([myField],"f",""))
Now for the total occurances in that page you use the Sum function in a text box in the report footer section.
= Sum( ... )
= Sum(Len([myField]) - Len(Replace([myField],"f",""))) ' if report based on a table
= Sum([myCalculatedField]) ' if you use the occurance count formula in the query instead
If you need to total across the page there is a link detailing how to go about it here (you'll have to scroll down a bit)

You haven't shown any of the expressions that you are using but, essentially, in the Report Footer you would include a textbox which uses your aggregate function:
=COUNT([SomeField]) 'or
=SUM(iif(some condition, 1, 0))
where SomeField is a field in the detail section, or some condition refers to this field.
That is, you need to SUM (or COUNT) across the whole report by referring to field(s) in the details section. You do not do this by attempting to refer to the subtotals that you have in the page-footers - this won't work.
How can I fill the page with empty table rows? For example; I have 2 records in the dataset but I want to the page with empty rows (draw the table borders until the end of page)
I have;
I want;
Are you getting your report data from a database? If so you might look at returning empty rows from your database call.
If you can describe your data source and query that you are using for this report, we might be able to suggest changes to the query to return blank rows.
UPDATE:
OK, Based on how you describe the data you are getting, perhaps you can change your database call to do something like this:
select * from Subeler where Subeler.FirmaId = 10
UNION ALL
select TOP 5 ' ' from Subeler where 1 = 1
That will give you your original data, plus 5 "blank" rows to help pad your report. Of course you would have to make sure the second query has the same number and type of columns as your first, but hopefully this will point you in the right direction.
