I need to add column headers in SSRS report but that are dynamic in nature.
For example, sometimes Query will return 5 different named columns with it's data and sometime will return 9 different named columns with it's data and so on.
So how to drag or refresh columns in Dataset and how to show in SSRS report dynamically.
I am totally confused seen many articles but not able to get solution.
How to implement this in SSRS report. I have the query, depending on parameters columns gets generated. Check below sample report preview
its showing date in different columns
In SSRS , the dataset must always return the same number of columns with the same names and datatypes, so you cannot of what you want directly.
You have two options.
Option 1
Normalise the data.
So instead of returning something like
SomeID ColumnA ColumnB ColumnC
1 10 20 30
2 15 25 35
3 100 200 300
You need to return
SomeID ColName Amount
1 'ColumnA' 10
1 'ColumnB' 20
1 'ColumnC' 30
2 'ColumnA' 15
2 'ColumnB' 25
2 'ColumnC' 35
3 'ColumnA' 10
3 'ColumnB' 200
3 'ColumnC' 300
Once you have your data in this format, you can simply use a matrix in your report. Set the rowgroup to SomeID, set the Column Group to ColName and the data value to Amount
This is by far the simplest solution.
Option 2
Deconstruct and rebuild the table in code
There are several drawbaks to this method but if you are interested, read my answer to this question asked a few days ago

In my database i have columns with information that are match togheter with a column named MsgNumber this column looks like this:
Where if it´s 1 1 the two rows have some coherent information. 2 and 3 3 3 and 4 4 4 4 and so forh all the rows are aligned that way. My goal is to get the query to order the cells by color as show in the next pictur:
I tried with condition formation but then i needed to do a seperate "report" i need to edit the rows directly in the query. (doing it manually is not an option). Can it be done? Thanks
I am using SSRS 2014. My end goal is to get a table that looks like the following:
Project Status # of Projects Oldest Project Avg Project Age
Status 1 27 82 16
Status 2 9 29 6
Status 3 13 112 25
Status 4 33 68 16
Status 5 1 63 63
Status 6 1 27 27
Grand Total 84 112 17
A table like this, including the grand totals, can be done in Excel using pivot tables (this is how the data was originally retrieved...manually...)
If I have the same source data in a table where my columns include projectStatus and projectAge, I could generate a query to get all but the grand totals in SQL:
SELECT projectStatus, COUNT(projectStatus), MAX(projectAge), AVG(projectAge)
FROM projects
GROUP BY projectStatus
If I wanted to add grand totals to that, I could do a UNION with the following query:
SELECT 'Grand Total', COUNT(projectStatus), MAX(projectAge), AVG(projectAge)
FROM projects
Note that the grand totals are calculated off of the entire dataset and not just the grouped data - this mostly applies to the average, because it just happens to work out for the COUNT and MAX columns.
Now, if I am trying to generate this above table in SSRS, it is easy to generate the above table sans grand totals using the former query. However, now how do I add grand totals?
I could instead try a different approach where I use a more generic dataset query like:
SELECT projectStatus AS statusCategory, projectAge AS daysInCurrentStatus FROM projects
And then use aggregate functions in my table and have SSRS do the aggregation itself and provide grand totals on the raw data. I get a new problem now. What is the correct way to set my table up? I am calling grouping by [statusCategory] as "Group1", using scoped aggregate functions like so:
And it correctly generates the grand totals, but now I have a new problem: it is showing the average for each row instead of just one cell per group/scope. Is this something SSRS is meant to do, and if so, how can I do it?
...
You need to mess around a little to get right layout, but you basically need a group header or footer to show the Group aggregates.
if you right click on the lines next to [statusCategory] and select Insert Row > Outside Group - Above it will create a group header for you. Then just add your aggregate expressions in the correct columns like =Count(Fields!projectStatus.Value) then you can just set Row Visibilty on the details row to hide if you dont want to see it.
you should end up with a layout similar to this.
with the middle row (detail) visibility set to false
You're on the right track. You have two Row Groups right now. All you need to do is remove the inner one because it's not grouped by anything. In other words, it's repeating for every row of raw data.
So the Row Group named "Details" - either remove it or in the properties click "Add" and group it by 1. That will collapse those rows and do what you were expecting.
*I'd like to ask that you please do not just say "add a column to your data that..."
*I want to know if the pivot table itself can do this.
My data comes from a sql query. The query is inserted into excel via the Data->From Other Sources path. So, going in to edit the query within excel, or open the query itself, editing, and repasting is not ideal, especially when the excel file needs to be distributed.
My raw data is set-up like this. I've put zeros in for blanks, but my flags are either 1 or blank (empty cell)
id costa costb names ... ... flagA flagB flagC
1 1000 2000 apple ... ... 1 1 1
2 2300 1200 brake ... ... 1 0 1
3 4600 3400 candy ... ... 0 1 1
4 6900 4300 drill ... ... 1 0 0
I want my pivot table to COUNT occurence of items that are flagb and flagc.
Usually with only one flag. Your calculated field will be a SUM with formula ='flagb'
How can I make the field bebased on two flags, not just one?
Again. I don't want to add a new column to my data as certain flags do not correlate easily, and I have to change the orignial SQL file, as well as the query inserted to excel to stay consistent. Also, I feel the pivot should be able to do this. Any solutions?
use a calculated field, and put the formula as = AND(flagB=1,flagC=1)
you can use multiple tests if you need to check for specific flags, just separate each test with a comma within the AND test (and more complex tests can be made with OR, or combinations of them both
I am trying to calculate totals for each row as well as a percentage of the overall total.
Right now I have a table like this:
Blah Col1 Col2 Col3
-----------------------------
ABC 1 1 1
DEF 2 2 3
-----------------------------
Total 3 3 4
And I want it to include totals/percentages like so:
Blah Col1 Col2 Col3 Total %
--------------------------------------------
ABC 1 1 1 3 30%
DEF 2 2 3 7 70%
--------------------------------------------
Total 3 3 4 10 100%
I know I can do the calculations in the SQL query, but the stored procedure is rather complicated so I'd like to avoid that if possible. So I'm wondering if there's a simple way to achieve this in SSRS.
Right now I just have a row group for each Blah which I use to calculate column totals.
I added a Totals Row for my matrix, then I referenced the totals textbox (textbox 8 in my case) for the column and I did:
Sum(Fields.FieldName.Value)/ReportItems!Textbox8.Value
I hope this makes sense!
To calculate the total, just do a simple sum using the + operator. For the percentage, you can refer to the grand total using ReportItems!ItemName.
You can use aggregate functions in Reporting Services like "SUM" and "AVG" to achieve what you are trying to do. The way it works is "Detail" parts of groups in SSRS tables will list all of the data, while non-detail parts (like headers and footers) of groups can be used for aggregates like:
=SUM(Fields!TestValue.Value)
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159134%28v=sql.90%29.aspx
Let me know if you need any more help.
Create two groups, one on a column that is the same data for each row, then one on column blah. add a row for the emcompassing group and do a sum there.
you can simply do as following:
Sum(CInt(Fields!TestValue.Value))
or Sum(CInt(Fields!DollarAmountOfCheck.Value),"DataSet1")
sometime when data is coming through WCF, it does not accept Sum() function. but this works fine in that case.
i have a mysql table set up like so:
id uid keywords
-- --- ---
1 20 corporate
2 20 corporate,business,strategy
3 20 corporate,bowser
4 20 flowers
5 20 battleship,corporate,dungeon
what i WANT my output to look like is:
20 corporate,business,strategy,bowser,flowers,battleship,dungeon
but the closest i've gotten is:
SELECT DISTINCT uid, GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT keywords ORDER BY keywords DESC) AS keywords
FROM mytable
WHERE uid !=0
GROUP BY uid
which outputs:
20 corporate,corporate,business,strategy,corporate,bowser,flowers,battleship,corporate,dungeon
does anyone have a solution? thanks a ton in advance!
What you're doing isn't possible with pure SQL the way you have your data structured.
No SQL implementation is going to look at "Corporate" and "Corporate, Business" and see them as equal strings. Therefore, distinct won't work.
If you can control the database,
The first thing I would do is change the data setup to be:
id uid keyword <- note, not keyword**s** - **ONE** value in this column, not a comma delimited list
1 20 corporate
2 20 corporate
2 20 business
2 20 strategy
Better yet would be
id uid keywordId
1 20 1
2 20 1
2 20 2
2 20 3
with a seperate table for keywords
KeywordID KeywordText
1 Corporate
2 Business
Otherwise you'll need to massage the data in code.
Mmm, your keywords need to be in their own table (one record per keyword). Then you'll be able to do it, because the keywords will then GROUP properly.
Not sure if MySql has this, but SQL Server has a RANK() OVER PARTITION BY that you can use to assign each result a rank...doing so would allow you to only select those of Rank 1, and discard the rest.
You have two options as I see it.
Option 1:
Change the way your store your data (keywords in their own table, join the existing table with the keywords table using a many-to-many relationship). This will allow you to use DISTINCT. DISTINCT doesn't work currently because the query sees "corporate" and "corporate,business,strategy" as two different values.
Option 2:
Write some 'interesting' sql to split up the keywords strings. I don't know what the limits are in MySQL, but SQL in general is not designed for this.
