I'm just starting with Reporting Services so please take that into consideration.
I'm trying to make a report that groups by Nominee. I also want to group by Nominator i.e. so that if a Nominee has the same Nominator twice then it displays only ONE row instead for two and it increments field Number of Nominations (I get I need to use COUNT() here) and adds the total points of both (which I suspect I need to use SUM() on).
This is my table (on top) and the one I want to display on the bottom.

Notice on the top table that Janine and Rose have 2 different nominations with the same Nominator, therefore on the bottom table they display counts 2 on number of nominations and the sum of the points for both of the nominations.
So far I've tried this:

How can I make it so I can include name, Dept, points and number of nominations in between groups? I've tried inserting text boxes but it doesn't work. Is there a better way to do this?
Also I'm using a Tablix
Just create one group by option that takes the Nominee Name / ID, and display the name.
Within the details section add each nominator name. In the footer of the Nominee Name group just add =COUNT(Fields!NominatorID.Value)
It would end up with something like this:

I think this might be very simple.
I wrote a query in heap to tell me which users were part of an event and how many times they engaged in it during the year.
The result is a simple table with username and number of occurrences.
It worked. However, Heap has this weird behavior of choosing multiple results (maybe at random?) and throwing them into a single "Other (X other results)" category. Where x is a number of others.
So i end up with a table of 20 maybe 30 users and occurences, and one row of "Other (X other results)".
I shrunk the query to see results from a smaller subset of dates and the "Other" category disappeared.
I really need to see every individual row in my query results! Even if it's paginated.
Help! Thank you
You can export the result as a CSV. The downloaded file will contain all the results (all single entries without the grouped OTHER).
Inte the current UI, you can find Export to CSV at the top of the report view.
I have categories (row header) and each category has a sub category (gender), broken down by age range (column header). One of the categories can be divided into two sections and each of the sections would need a subtotal.
The dataset for the table would retrieves information from a MSSQL view which returns the category, gender, and age ranges (the count of each).
A method which worked so far but seem very inefficient is to create datasets (along with a tablix) for Category 1-2, 3AB, 3CD, 3Total, 4-5 and a total. Then align each tablix close to one another so when previewing the report, it would appear they all belong to one grid. I would like to explore other possibilities to achieve this outcome.
Example in excel of how it should look
Thank you for reading
edit- Thank you Sean for pointing it out I need to be more clear. My actual question is how can I include a subtotal and total row in the middle of a dataset of certain categories, efficiently?
Looks to me like a simple row/column grouping tablix.
Modify your dataset to return "category, section, gender, age range, count" and then create a tablix with category->section->gender row groups and a single "age range" column group. For those categories without a section, just return a sentinel string value of some sort, e.g. "All" or the category again.
If you aren't familiar with nested groups, start by adding gender, then section, then category (child to parent) as I find this the most intuitive way to teach people about adding groups.
In SSRS report, I want to perform conditional color formatting where highest rank should be Green and lowest rank should be Red within a Regional Manager group as shown below
Note: Couple of options, I was thinking of includes
I am using custom code function, for deriving Min and Max value, and somehow if I can include grouping filter on Regional Manger then it could work, but don't know if that's possible
In dataset, I create extra columns for each column and store Min\max value in it. But less keen towards this option, since I have 24 different ranks and which would mean, I will need 24 different columns along with current 40 attributes
Any help would be appreciated
I know you don't want to do this for each column, but despite your misgivings it is probably the best approach. Based on my previous answer to your earlier related question you can colour the min and max for each group as follows.
Create a table with fields store, atvrank, and btvrank
Right click the row header, and select Add Group -> Row Group - Parent Group, and choose Regional Manager. Set the Group name to RegionalManagerGroup
Then set the background colour for your cells to
=iif(Fields!atvRank.Value = min(Fields!atvRank.Value, "RegionalManagerGroup"),
"Green",
iif(Fields!atvRank.Value = max(Fields!atvRank.Value, "RegionalManagerGroup"),
"Red",
"White"
)
)
This now finds the maximum and minimum within the current group instead of the whole dataset. You will need to set this expression for each field individually, but this is probably less effort than returning new rows from the database to determine the maximum and minimum for each field.
This approach will give the following output
Please seriously consider this solution. If you have further questions, please just ask.
So I am attempting to reorganize a report I put together. I had the running totals working before the redesign, but I have been pouring over this for a day and can't figure out why it is no longer functioning as I had thought.
The sum values are correct here, but it keeps accumulating them and not spreading them out over the area paths I've defined (which are populating obviously).
I have the sprint and area name linked in a hierarchy for the row groups then followed by this expression:
=RunningValue(Fields!Sev_1_Count.Value, SUM, "RowGroup")
Each column after the area name is defining a severity level of defects, just for context. The Sev_1_Count expression should take the count of all defects in this severity level then spread them across their associated area names. Which worked in the previous version... I just can't for the life of me figure why it won't work now. Thoughts?
I think the problem is that you're applying the running total to each field. It seems that wherever you're putting
RunningValue(Fields!Sev_1_Count.Value, SUM, "RowGroup")
you should just have
Fields!Sev_1_Count.Value
instead. As you need totals on both sides, you should have a matrix and the right and bottom rows of you columns should be outside the group "Iteration Name" with a value of
sum(Fields!Sev_1_Count.Value).
Not sure what I'm missing. Maybe your original dataset is set up in a way where you can't do that?
Your row groups should be grouped on name and your column groups should be grouped on severity level.
I'm not sure what you mean by your comment below Randy, but the best practice for something like this would be to have a data-set that consists of 3 fields:
"EnvironmentName", "DefectCount" and "SeverityLevel". Then in your matrix, you have the DefectCount as your Details, EnvironmentName as your RowGroup and SeverityLevel as your ColumnGroup. Then the right column and bottom row are placed outside the groups and have the value of Sum(DefectCount). Anything outside of that seems like an over-complication.
It seems like you want to use running total to add the columns for severity levels if i'm not mistaken? then you shouldn't be grouping them on rows. Instead of the "RowGroup" scope, maybe you should try None. Good luck.
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.
