Render multiple pages in SSRS report into single page - sql-server

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.

How to manipulate dataset to get information from different tables?

Currently my data is set up as a union of two tables. The red rows are Table 1 and the blue rows are Table 2. I am doing my union in SQL Server and am connecting this into Tableau. I am using Excel right now to depict what I am seeing (left pivot table) more easily and what I want to see (right made-up pivot table).
The current pivot table is showing when filtered on a particular Plant/Project/Product, those are the components that go into the Product and those are the months in which the Products are due to the customer. The values in the bottom row are the quantity of the Product that is due to the customer. For example- in June, a quantity of 1 of the 150-100020-1000 product is due to the customer. The quantities are showing up under a null component because that field isn’t in Table 2, as you can see in the blue rows.
I want those bottom row values to appear under literally any one of those components that are listed. In this case, it’s only showing one set of Plant/Project/Product, but I would want the formula/code to pick up on that too when it’s evaluating what to output. In the example on the right side made-up pivot table, I have the quantities showing up under the component #100, but it can be under any of them as long as the Plant/Project/Product is equal in both tables. I also don't want the blank/null dates from Table 1 to show up, but they are tied to the components so I can't filter them out easily.
I've tried several types of joins and temporarily tables to get this working and keep coming up blank. How can I set up my dataset to get the view I want to see in Tableau?
Dataset and Current View + View I Want
Your problem is you don't have a Component against a Qty. Hence for what you want somehow you need to create a Component. Perhaps this is possible using a FIXED calc, which would create this field across all records. If the value of Component doesn't matter create this calculation:
{MIN([Component])}
This should put 100 against each record.
If you also need to keep the existing Component value, when it exists, try a formula such as:
IFNULL([Component],{MIN([Component])})
Note I haven't tested any of this.

SSRS two datasets in one report

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):

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.

SSRS. Page break between tables (tablix) issue

I have SSRS report with few tables (tablix control) inside. Tables are independent (but uses the same datasouce with different filters) and goes one after another in the report:
Report header
Table1
Table2
Table3
...
TableN
In case some table contains 0 rows I hide it.
What i need to do is to show each table on separate page.
For this I set page break to "End" for each table except last one. So each table is show on separate page.
Here is an issue:
In case last table contains no data it's hidden but previous table inserts page break and I get report with last page blank.
Please let me know how can I fix the issue so I don't have blank pages and each tablix is located on separate page (tables with no rows should be hidden).
Thanks beforehand,
-Petro
Simply set the PageBreak -> BreakLocation property of each Tablix to Start except for the first Tablix.

Setting out SQL Server Report Services not in Gridview form

I am trying to create a SQL Server Reporting Services report to display all the records in a table.
However I don't want it to be in gridview form as one of the fields is very long.
The only way I seem to make all the records display (and not just the last record) is to use a Table.
So this way all my fields are listed just like an excel table.
Is it possible to display it more like a C# Repeater?
The format would be something like this:
Name - Truck Number - Trailer Number
Notes
Name - Truck Number - Trailer Number
Notes
As opposed to
Name - Truck Number - Trailer Number - Notes
Right-click on the detail row handle on the far left (a grey box with three horizontal lines) and insert a row below. Put your Notes field in that inserted row.
You may want to merge some cells to have it take up the entire row. Highlight the cells you want to merge and use Merge Cells from the right-click menu or the main toolbar.
You may want to hide the Notes row if there are no notes for that entry. Click the row handle to select the row (if SSRS 2005) or right-click it and choose Row Group->Group Properties and go to the Visibility section (if SSRS 2008) and set the Visibility-Hidden property to something like:
=Fields!Notes.Value = Nothing
