Not getting SSRS report output in desired format - sql-server

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:

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.

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.

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):

Pass a table value to a linked report filter - SSRS 2016

I have a report that has summary data and graphs that summarizes the data year by year. I also have a summary table that shows values by year and by type. When the user clicks on the graph or table it will take them to another report that has all of the detail data from the summary. I am able to pass parameters from each report without issues.
What I'm looking to do is be able to click on a column in the table or graph that will filter based on what I click on. If I click on the year 2017 in my table, I want to see the 2017 data.
Is there a way to create a filter or pass data to a parameter by clicking on a field?
If I click this date, only show me these records
Yes - you can pass data from your main report to a parameter in your drill trhough report so that it filters the data for whatever you clicked on.
On your detail report, add a parameter to your detail report for the filter - in your example it would be for the YEAR.
You can add the filter to the query or in the Filter tab of the dataset. Putting it in the query will usually work faster than in the dataset.
In the main report, you Enable a Go To Report Action to the Year in the text box properties and select the detail report to open. The you Add your YEAR parameter in the Name column and select your YEAR column in the Value column.

Passing MultiValue Parameter to Cascading Parameter in Subreport with SSRS

I have a summary report that passes information to a detail subreport in SSRS. The subreport accepts 4 parameters:
From Date (DateTime)
To Date (DateTime)
District (Multi-value String)
Item ID (Multi-value String)
The Item ID parameter is a cascading parameter that depends on the From and To Date. I am having an issue with the parameter not being set when values are passed from the main report to the subreport that are not within that date range. Take the following as an example:
Group Item ID
Banks ABCD 01
ABCD 02
ABCD 03
ABCD 04
The values above are defined in a setup table used in the main report. The idea is that the Banks group should have those Item ID's associated with them. Those values are passed to the subreport via the Item ID parameter. The problem is that when the parameters are passed to the subreport, not all of the Item ID's will necessarily be in the data for the given date range. In this case, SSRS does not select any of the Item IDs when the subreport is loaded.
Some additional information:
The Item ID parameter needs to be set up as a cascading parameter in this way because there are over a thousand different values and SSRS does not support more than 1,000 items in a multivalued list.
The table that both reports are using is a transaction table so the queries can be slow. I would like to avoid having to execute another dataset to determine which Item ID's are actually within the date range from the main report (since this is going to happen anyway when the subreport is loaded).
If all 4 of the Item ID's are available for the given date range in the report, it selects them correctly.
I was thinking it may be possible to create a running value type field that concatenates the Item ID's together to a string in the main report, then split it and pass it to the subreport. This would get the item id's actually used in the query without having to execute the query another time. I thought it may also be possible to trim out the values in the subreport if they aren't contained in the parameter value list? I'm guessing, if this is possible, I will need a hidden parameter to do this work then set the main parameter from the hidden parameter.
Any thoughts on how I can handle this situation? Let me know if you need any additional information.

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.
