SSRS two datasets in one report - sql-server

I have a SSRS report with two datasets. My report has one table with all fields from dataset 1. Is it possible to show the field from dataset 2 if the id field from dataset 1 = the id field from dataset 2?
I've tried using an expression on the field in the table to point to the field in dataset 2 but there is no link between the 2 datasets which I think I need. are you able to do a select clause within the expression on the report?
any guidance would be appreciated
I have tried the below as the expression but it doesn't work :
=iif Sum(Fields!ID.Value, "DataSet2")=Sum(Fields!ID.Value, "DataSet3") then First(Fields!total.Value, "DataSet3")

Your question is very classic case of SSRS.
You have 2 ways to achieve this
SubReports (Which I personally like)
Lookup functions (which I sometimes find difficult dealing with)
Method1: Use subreport to display one report in another report
.Create another report as the subreport and insert the child row data.
Create a parameter named ID in the subreport.
In the main report, right-click to insert a subreport in the child row.
Right-click the subpeort to open the Subreport Properties, and select the subreport name in the drop-down list.
In the left panel of the Subreport Properties dialog box, click Parameters.
Select Name in the drop-down list of ID, and select [ID] in the drop-down list of Value.
Method2: Use lookupset function in SSRS
In the Expression dialog box, modify the expression to look like this:
=join(Lookupset(Fields!ID.Value,Fields!ID.Value,Fields!Subject.Value,"DataSet2"),",")
The following screenshot is for your reference(The tablix is to use DataSet1):

SSRS - 1 Stored procedure called executed multiple times

I have a report that returns the description of a product sheet from the product reference.
The product sheet contains: the description of the product, dates, the history of the product, ...
The data comes from a stored procedure called with a SINGLE reference.
The report criterion is currently a single reference.
So everything is ok.
I would like to pass a list of references separated by, for example, a comma and run the PS as many times as there are references to query and make as many product sheets as references.
I hope i was clear.
A big thank you for your answers.
It sounds like you already have a report that produces a result for a single reference. If that is true then the easiest way is probably to use your existing report as a subreport.
In brief...
You will need to create a new report, add a dataset that contains a unique list of references that you want to produce reports for (this could be parameterized too if required).
This might be as simple as SELECT DISTINCT RefID FROM myTable
Next add a list control to your report and set its dataset property to the dataset you created above.
In the list's 'cell' right-click and insert a subreport. Now right-click the subreport placeholder and set subreport to be the name of you original report. Set the parameter to be the fields from your dataset above (in this exmaple [RefID]).
The list will produce one subreport per entry in the dataset. You can set page breaks from the list control if required.
If this does not help, let me know and I'll update the answer with more details.

Render multiple pages in SSRS report into single page

I have a SSRS report to show values from a stored procedure in SQL Server Business Intelligence Studio. The stored procedure will return 120 rows, each row will be displayed as a table format in my report.
So now I have 120 pages, each page having one table equivalent to a row in the stored procedure. I want 4 tables on every single page, so that there should be 30 pages in the SSRS report, with each page having 4 tables that is 4 rows from the stored procedure.
I have added grouping and page breaks but it did not help. Can you please help me.?
Currently I have
Actually I want like this
Add this to the code of your report. Inside <Page></Page>.
It should be like this:
<Page>
<InteractiveHeight>0in</InteractiveHeight>
<InteractiveWidth>8.5in</InteractiveWidth>
</Page>
Change the InteractiveHeight value. You can notice that I just put 0in on it. That means, there will be no height limit. The report will just always show in just 1 page. Measure/Estimate the report's Height by inches to show only 4 tables per page of your report.
In case you're not familiar how to view the code of you report, Just follow the below steps.
1. Go to Solution Explorer.
2. Right Click the report.
3. Click View Code
you can change your proc to add a grouping column, and a table column, something like this
*group, table,row columns*
group1, table1,row1
group1, table2,row2
group1, table3,row3
group1, table4,row4
group2, table1,row5
group2, table2,row6
group2, table3,row7
group2, table4,row8
..
you will need some manipulating the sql to achieve this, but doable.
Then in your ssrs report, put a list object, the list will group on the group column defined above. Add 4 tables in 2 x 2 format into a rectangle object (rectangle is to keep the tables together), each table will have a filter (in properties) (table 1: table = table, table 2: table = table etc), then add the rectangle into the list. In the group properties of the list, check break between groups. Now your page will be based on the groups you defined. And each table in the same group(page) will only show data based on the filter.

Not getting SSRS report output in desired format

I am designing SSRS 2005 report which has four subreports within a main report.
The report has a group header containing "name" dataset field .Each subreport is grouped on the same "name" field.This name field is also one of the column for the dataset of each subreport.
A rough format of the report is as shown below(For each name field of the main report dataset we have four sub reports)
I tried adding header with image as a group header of a table and subreports as table rows with all rows grouped by name field but i am getting the same data in each report.
Can someone please guide me how to go about to get the desired output.
In order for subreports to filter the data from the parent report, you'll need to match a field from your main report (NAME?) with the field in your subreport using the Subreport Properties' Parameters tab.
You should have a Parameter in your subreport and a Filter on the subreports data that uses the parameter. This way, each record in the main report will have each subreport filtered by your grouping field.
For more info:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd239314(v=sql.110).aspx
You need to wrap the whole thing (header and subreports) in a List, and populate the List from your "Main" dataset. Then pass values from the List's dataset to the subreports and header.

Creating a Batch Report

I am trying to create a batch report of multiple invoices using SSRS 2008 R2.
I have created the initial invoice report and have it set up with a parameter; the parameter uses an InvoiceID to populate the data within the invoice report.
I have created another report using lists, inside the list contains the information that was in my original invoice report but using a different parameter (BatchID). The problem I am running into with this is that instead of creating a single invoice for each invoiceID it is creating an invoice for each line item within each invoice. i.e.~ Instead of incorporating multiple items based on the InvoiceID (as the original report did) it is creating a report for each of the items.
What would be the best way of running a batch of these invoices? Am I going about this the wrong way or am I on the right track but missing something?
Thanks in advance!
SELECT i.InvoiceId, i.InvoiceNumber, i.BillTo_Line1, i.BillTo_Line2, i.BillTo_City, i.BillTo_StateOrProvince, i.BillTo_PostalCode, i.CustomerIdName,
i.ce_OutstandingBalance, i.ce_BillToDate, i.ce_BillFromDate, i.TotalAmount, id.ProductIdName, id.ce_customeridName, id.ce_CustomerProductName,
id.InvoiceDetailId, id.BaseAmount, id.PricePerUnit, id.ce_rate
FROM
Invoice AS i RIGHT OUTER JOIN
InvoiceDetail AS id ON i.InvoiceId = id.InvoiceId
Once I enter the invoiceID I get my report
My intent is to be able to run the report against multiple invoicesid numbers without having to select the invoice number itself. I have another table that collects the invoiceid's based on a batchid that they are run in.
So far I have attempted to create a subreport with the original report and Create a separate report that uses a list and attempt to group by InvoiceID for each batchid. Though with each of these I have so far been unsuccessful.
I am new to SSRS and have been pouring over documentation from MSDN about SSRS and the different abilities.
For this sort of repeating list, it's a matter of understanding how a list/grouping works.
Lists, Tables and Matrixes are all the same underlying object - the Tablix.
A List is a Tablix with one detail row (i.e. one Tablix row for each row in the Dataset), one textbox in that row, and a Rectangle in that textbox. The Rectangle can have various embedded elements like more textboxes and as such provides a repeating free-form item for each row in the Dataset.
You can see this when you create a List in the designer:
I assume your report query takes a BatchID and returns a number of invoices and their invoice details. I've taken some liberties with your data and created a simplified sample Dataset:
You want the Rectangle to repeat for every InvoiceNo. Currently the Row Group has no grouping item - change this to InvoiceNo under the Group properties and expand the Rectangle as required.
You can start adding in elements such as textboxes for the Invoice level items, something like:
Note that the left side of the Tablix has changed from lines to a bracket - this is because a grouping item was added to the Row Group.
This will repeat once for each InvoiceNo. Now we want to add the line items - you can do this by dragging a new Table into the Rectangle. Since we have a Row Group in place this table will only display items in that group:
When run for the sample data, this gives an ugly but functional repeating invoice report:
This could be tidied up as required, and page groups inserted between Group items in the Group properties as required.
Hopefully this at least gives you a rough idea of how you might go about your task.

Filtering Subreport data on a Winforms report

I am using Winforms Reporting Services (RDLC) to generate a report that has a subreport.
My problem is the subreport isn't being filtered by the parent ID.
A simple example of the data model might be a Department which contains Employees.
In the report I want to show all Departments and have a subreport to show the Employees that belong to that Department.
I created a Dataset with two DataTables (Department and Employee). I created a relationship between the two Tables using the DepartmentId column.
In the Form I Fill each table using the appropriate Fill commands. I first fill the Department table then fill the Employee table, i.e. Select * From Deparment and Select * from Employee.
Now for the actual RDLC's:
The Department rdlc uses the Deparment datasource and shows information about the department. I dropped a subreport control on this rdlc and set up the properties. I am passing a ReportProperty to the subreport which is the Field!DepartmentId.
In the Employee rdlc I added the Employee datasource and created a filter on Property!DepartmentId.
When I run the report I can cycle through each Department but the subreport does not show. If I remove the Filter from the Employee datasource the subreport shows but displays all of the employees.
In the Form itself I am handling the SubProcessing evert and adding the Employee datasource to the report.
Any ideas on how to link the Subreport data to the parent?
Pass in the ID from the parent to the sub-report as a parameter and then filter the table in the sub-report based on that parameter value.
