Count Items in a Group in SSRS - sql-server

I have a tablix with the following details:
Apple
Apple
Apple
Mango
Mango
I want to have a subtotal cell having:
Apple: 3
Mango: 2
How to do this without counting the items by id?
Thanks in advance!

Couple of approaches you can use, You can write a query that generates the row count for you - not knowing your data here is an example
SELECT Fruit, COUNT(Fruit) AS NoFruits FROM (SELECT Fruit , 1 AS FruitNo FROM dbo.xxxtblFRUIT) AS a GROUP BY Fruit
Or in SSRS tablix you can create a group and do a count in there.
****UPDATED*****
From what I under stand from your data you can add a row group outside your current group and do the count in that.
Thats what would be returned.

I'm assuming you're still looking for answer to this...
Could you try adding a new table and then using Row Groups to group the data by the values? If we're using the data set from above, you could set the group to "Fruits." You would want your table to have at least two cells, one cell would contain the fruit (Fields!Fruit.Value) and the second cell would have (Count(Fields!SomeOtherColumnInYourDataset.Value). Does this make sense?

Identify elements that do not appear in the period (Google Data Studio)

I have a table that shows the recurrence of purchasing a product, with the columns: product_id, report_date, quantity.
I need to list in a table the products that are more than 50 days unsold. The opposite I managed to do (list those that were sold in the last 50 days) but the opposite logic has not yet been able to implement.
Does anyone have any tips?
An example of the table:
product_id,date,report_date,quantity
329,2019-01-02 08:19:17,2019-01-02 14:34:12,6
243,2019-01-03 09:19:17,2019-01-03 15:34:12,6
238,2019-02-02 08:19:17,2019-03-02 14:34:12,84

There are many steps to do this task. I assume the date column is the one to work with. Your example from table includes duplicated entries. Is it right that at the same time the order is there twice?
So here are the steps:
At first add an calculated field date_past to your dataset:
DATE_DIFF(CURRENT_DATE(),date)
To the dataset add a filter SO_demo with:
include date_past<30
Then blend the data with it self. Use product_id as Join key. Only the 2nd dataset has the SO_demo filter. Add to the dimension of this dataset the calculated field sold_last_30_days with the formula "yes".
In the table/chart to display add a filter on the field include sold_last_30_days is Null.

Birt report : How to hide in's and out of the table value in Birt Report

I have a following employee table value as below :
name | cost
john | 1000
john | -1000
john | 5000
when we add the cost column total will be 5000.
I need to print only the 3rd row in BIRT report, since the 1st and 2nd row get cancelled out each other.
I'm stuck at filtering the table for above scenario.
Couldn't you just solve this using SQL like
select name, sum(cost)
from employee
group by name
order by name
?
Or do you just want to exclude two rows if they have exactly the same cost, but with different signs? Note that this is actually something different, take for example the three rows [ john|1, john|2, john|-3 ]? In this case, a pure SQL solution can be achieved using the SQL analytic functions (at least if you are using Oracle).
Elaborate your question. Its not clear if these are columns or rows.
If These are columns:
Create a computed column in your dataset
In Expression builder of that column add/sub values using dataSetRow['col1'] and dataSetRow['col2']
Add only that computed column to your table.
If these are rows
Select rows you don't want to print
Go to properties tab
Find Visibility property and click on it
Check Hide Element option

Is it possible to create an SQL query that displays results like this?

Background
I have a database that hold records of all assets in an office. Each asset have a condition, a category name and an age.
A ConditionID can be;
In use
Spare
In Circulation
CategoryID are;
Phone
PC
Laptop
and Age is just a field called AquiredDate which holds records like;
2009-04-24 15:07:51.257
Example
I've created an example of the inputs of the query to explain better what I need if possible.
NB.
Inputs are in Orange in the above example.
I've split the example into two separate queries.
Count would be the output
Question
Is this type of query and result set possible using SQL alone? And if so where do I start? Would it be easier to use Ms Excel also?
Yes it is possible, for your orange fields you can just e.g.
where CategoryID ='Phone' and ConditionID in ('In use', 'In Circulation')
For the yellow one you could do a datediff of days of accuired date to now and divide it by 365 and floor that value, to get the last one (6+ years category) you need to take the minimum of 5 and the calculated value so you get 0 for all between 0-1 year old etc. until 5 which has everything above 6 years.
When you group by that calculated column and select the additional the count you get what you desire.

How can I get SSRS to create subheadings?

The Problem
I'm building an SSRS report which requires regular group headings on certain rows. The data returned from the database query includes a column with a bit flag indicating which rows need to be treated as group subheadings.
Here's a snippet of the source data:
Note the IsGroupHeading column, where the flag is set to 1 on the first row ("0401").
I want to produce output which looks like this Excel mockup:
So every time the report encounters a row where IsGroupHeading equals 1, it generates a bold group heading row followed by a row with column headings.
What's Happening
I've tried creating a row group in SSRS with the expression =Fields!IsGroupHeading.Value = 1 but I get unexpected results: (1) Only the first group heading is treated specially, and (2) the group heading row is repeated underneath the heading. The result looks like this:
Notice that the "0401" row is repeated under the group heading. In addition, only the first group heading ever gets this special treatment. The report simply ignores subsequent group headings and renders them as normal data rows.
The Question
I've spent hours trying to get this right and this is the closest I've been able to get it and my googling on row groups turns up pages mostly about creating subtotals, so I'm throwing this one out to the community hoping some SSRS experts can help me with this.
I'm going to assume that you're doing this in SQL and that all tariff numbers start with the group header tariff number (in this case, 0401).
Let's say your SQL currently looks like this:
SELECT TariffNumber, RowDescription, TariffRate, IsGroupHeading
FROM Tariffs
What we want to do is join this table on itself to give the group TariffNumber and RowDescription columns on each row to enable us to group on it. We also want to exclude the GroupHeader Tariff from the Details rows. So we get something like this:
SELECT TariffGroup.TariffNumber AS GroupNumber, TariffGroup.RowDescription AS GroupDescription,
TariffDetail.TariffNumber, TariffDetail.RowDescription, TariffDetail.TariffRate
FROM Tariffs AS TariffDetail
INNER JOIN Tariffs AS TariffGroup ON TariffGroup.TariffNumber = Left(TariffDetail.TariffNumber, CharIndex(TariffDetail.TariffNumber, '.')-1) AND TariffDetail.IsGroupHeader = 0
Now you just need to group on GroupNumber and you're done.

Add each row in a single cell

I have a requirement in ssrs report for display data like this.
I have to show 2 two rows data in one row in ssrs as shown below. Row count is unknown.
Please check another example.
Max two cell in one row in ssrs. I have to do this dynamically because I don't have any fix count in my data base table. If my table contain 3 rows it will display like first example but it it has 6 rows then it will looks like 2nd example.
Any suggestion how I can achieve.
The only way I know to do this left-to-right, top-to-bottom flow style is to sort of hack it in with lists. To my knowledge, the built-in controls do not directly support it.
First add a couple of columns to the query output to assign row and column numbers to each data row. (Change the order by clause as appropriate)
ceiling(row_number() over (order by AddressField) / 2.0) RowNumber
(row_number() over (order by AddressField) + 1) % 2 + 1 ColumnNumber
Now add a list to the report. Group by the RowNumber field. Within that list, add two more lists side by side. They will use the same dataset as the parent list. These will represent the cells. The left 'cell' will be a list with a filter ColumnNumber = 1. The right 'cell' will be a list with filter ColumnNumber = 2.
Now add textboxes within each 'cell' to contain the address data and format them as you desire.
