I am rather new to SSRS and am struggling with how I can achieve this.
Basically I need to calculate variance between two months, and have achieved this with the use of PREVIOUS() function. Similar to another person who has posted this on another forum.
However, the user has got back and wanted to sort months by descending, similar to the example shown below. Is there a way to do this in SSRS? As what I have gotten is that the 'previous' column is now referencing a future month and the calculations are now all wrong.
I have tried LOOKUP in SSRS, using DENSE in sql and all does not seem to work.
You can use the following workaround
Sort by month in descending order.
Add a total column.
Hide last month columns.
March will be displayed on February, February on January and January on the total columns
On the total column you will use expressions to display January.
Your design will look like the colored tablix
Expressions will be like these below
orange: =Previous(SUM(Fields!val.Value), "month2") /* previous value to display it as current */
yellow: =Sum(Fields!val.Value) /* current value to diplay it as previous */
green: =First(Fields!month.Value) /* First month of dataset */
cyan: =ReportItems!val2.value /* previous cell value to display it as first month */
Result will look like the image below

Can I have a time series chart to display the last 6 months QTY sold? as the report filter is monthly based.
ex. Users can choose 2021/10/01 - 2021/10/31 to view the report and there is a chart to display the last 6 months QTY sold. In this case, the time series chart will display 2021/05/01 to 2021/10/31.
If users can choose 2021/06/01 - 2021/6/30 to view the report and there is a chart to display the last 6 months QTY sold. In this case, the time series chart will display 2021/01/01 to 2021/06/30.
Through my advanced knowledge of the platform, I am not aware of the possibility of obtaining the mentioned result.
It is not possible to use the date filter control element and the respective date range as an input variable to define the period dimension used in the temporal graph.
You will probably have to look for an alternative solution that doesn't match the proposed objective. Using a fixed period of the last 6 months, without the possibility of dynamic variation through the date control element. Or, use two date filter control elements, one for the time graph only. Solutions far from ideal.
The issue was solved, I created another data source for 6 months of sales.
I am having trouble with a line graph visual, where the data is organized by week number and by year number. However when I put the information into the visual and try viewing both 2020 & 2021, it rearranges the data in the order of 2021 & 2020. How do i get it to properly see the data in the correct order of week number by year?
I tried sorting the week # by an index value, also by year, also by week... with no luck
From the images it looks like there is no sort on the year and week, just by the week.
You need to add a column that has a year week key, that you can sort by.
For example 202101 for the week one of 2021.
Assuming you have a date like dd/mm/yyyy format, for example 11/04/2021 in DAX you can use:
YearWeek = YEAR('Table'[Date]) & WEEKNUM('Table'[Date])
This should now sort the data correctly. If you want you can add another column, that is more user friendly like WK01-2021, if you wish, you can then sort by that column, or use the new key column to sort the textual one.
If you just have a year and week column, create a new column that concatenates the two.
For this you should have a Calendar table, that contains a the date groupings that you you need. For example using CALENDARAUTO or you can do it in Power Query here or here.
This actually does not give the correct sequence, when you are dealing with single digit week numbers. For example when dealing with the first ten weeks of 2020, the sequence would be 20201, 202010,20202, 20203... which is obviously wrong.
Here you need a double digit Week number, so a small change in the suggested formula should do it:
YearWeek = YEAR('Table'[Date]) & FORMAT(WEEKNUM('Table'[Date]),"00")
The sequence should now work.
I am building a report grouped by week horizontal and grouped by month vertical but some month start in the middle of the week and in this case SSRS gets random values and put them on the days that don't have dates. how can I get rid of this?
Example here
the way the report is build should be changed to be able to see the correct data. i did change it from table to a matrix and put an if statement to fill the cells that has no dates.
Thanks
I have an ssrs report that shows revenues for each month of a year for several years based on start and end date parameters the user enters. What I would like to do is add a second column that shows the revenue for that quarter (march would show q1 revenue, june q2 etc). the problem I am having is that I am able to do this for a single year but once the query starts looking at multiple years my column shows the value for all 1st quarters regardless of year. The picture shows what I am currently getting. Any recommendations on how to fix my expression to also look at the year value when summing these quarters?
Here is the code I am using to only populate the quarter column based on the month.
=IIF(Fields!Sort_Order.Value=3,
Sum(Lookup(1,Fields!Sort_Order.Value,Fields!Calculated_Revenue.Value,"Bookings"))
+Sum(Lookup(2,Fields!Sort_Order.Value,Fields!Calculated_Revenue.Value,"Bookings"))
+Sum(Lookup(3,Fields!Sort_Order.Value,Fields!Calculated_Revenue.Value,"Bookings")),
IIF(Fields!Sort_Order.Value=6,
Sum(Lookup(4,Fields!Sort_Order.Value,Fields!Calculated_Revenue.Value,"Bookings"))
+Sum(Lookup(5,Fields!Sort_Order.Value,Fields!Calculated_Revenue.Value,"Bookings"))
+Sum(Lookup(6,Fields!Sort_Order.Value,Fields!Calculated_Revenue.Value,"Bookings")),
IIF(Fields!Sort_Order.Value=9,
Sum(Lookup(7,Fields!Sort_Order.Value,Fields!Calculated_Revenue.Value,"Bookings"))
+Sum(Lookup(8,Fields!Sort_Order.Value,Fields!Calculated_Revenue.Value,"Bookings"))
+Sum(Lookup(9,Fields!Sort_Order.Value,Fields!Calculated_Revenue.Value,"Bookings")),
IIF(Fields!Sort_Order.Value=12,
Sum(Lookup(10,Fields!Sort_Order.Value,Fields!Calculated_Revenue.Value,"Bookings"))
+Sum(Lookup(11,Fields!Sort_Order.Value,Fields!Calculated_Revenue.Value,"Bookings"))
+Sum(Lookup(12,Fields!Sort_Order.Value,Fields!Calculated_Revenue.Value,"Bookings")),""))))
I ended up creating a quarter column within my data set that was then used as a parent group for the month rows. I then hid that column and added a total for the quarter that gave me sub totals. Not exactly what I was looking for but gave me the result I needed.
Imagine a one-table query that accepts a year (range) as a parameter and then yields a dataset grouped by State, City, and Month, with a count of UFOs, if any, for each month.
Tie that dataset to an SSRS Tablix, with a crosstab layout:
The Row Groups are State, City;
The Column Group is the Month (Jan through Dec); and
The row-column intersections are the # of UFOs sighted, if any.
PROBLEM:
If I run the (parameterized) report for one location, even one with few sightings, all goes well: I see columns only for months with sightings.
However, if I report more than one location (say, "Albany," with daily sightings, and "Troy," with October-only), Troy's grouping will come out ugly: If reported alone, just the October column would show, but, now, October along with 11 columns of "#Error" for the month name and a "0" for UFO count appear.
I suspect that one solution may involve some 0- or NULL-fill of missing-month data for Troy and other cities (How?), but is there some other way, via the Tablix widget, to achieve the desired result?
I don't understand what you're doing wrong but the matrix usually works with filling the headers correctly and leaving blanks where there is no data for a single group.
It might help if you show your design view.
Design View:
Report View:
Many of the users don't have data for previous months but at least one does so the month is displayed in the header. The blanks are where there is no data for that month/user combo.
I don't see why your report isn't working like this. If I only selected one user, then only the months that user had will be displayed.
