I am creating a SSRS report and my output shows a fields which read the respective data for that field AND data from another field. the first 15 rows for the 2columns are ok and the rest have that problem, the first fields for the first column remain blank and the respective data is populated to the other column.
I would suspect that if you when into the layout section of the report in SSRS designer and navigated to the Value dropdown, you might have something like this in there for those problematic columns?
=(Fields![col1].Value) & (Fields![col2].Value)

I'm having some formatting issues in SSRS with a current report I'm working on concerning property records. My report is built with 6 tablixes aligned in a landscape view meant to remain in a specific layout for potential printing of the report.
The first Tablix contains general information about the property in question and the owner. This information will be completely static and should remain the same.
The second Tablix is the problem. This Tablix is formatted to pull data from a stored procedure concerning parcels of land and generate up to 13 rows, filling in NULL values if less than 13 rows of data exist. The issue is if MORE than 13 rows of data exist. Currently, the result I have stretches the report and messes up the formatting entirely with 14 or more rows.
There are 4 other tablixes below this Tablix that contain additional details about the property, including buildings, outbuildings, and general appraisal summaries for the property. These will remain the same, as well. Each of these tablixes pulls from its own data set and has a stored procedure to generate the rows as needed.
My goal is to generate a report that contains up to 13 rows of land data on the first page and with any additional rows, keep the same exact page layout, but with the land data Tablix filled with rows 14-26 on a second page. That is, the layout from the first page of the report is repeated but with the remaining rows of data within the land data Tablix.
I've included the layout of the form for reference and I'm currently using Report Builder 2012 with MSSQL. The Land Section Detail is the Tablix in question.

Honestly, I'm not sure that this is possible, but I'm open to any suggestions on how to make this work.
EDIT: Changed the picture to provide a better idea of what I have.
EDIT: Adding "Sample Data"

Best sample I can offer considering the size of the data set
I once had the same problem to limit the row numbers of a tablix. This description was the solution:
Display a fixed number of rows
I was able to solve this issue with a somewhat complex method, but a method that worked perfectly for the report. The basic idea was to use a temporary table to keep all of the data aligned with a row count and page number in each dataset. With that row count, I was able to determine a cut-off point for each page. For example, if a Tablix had room for 9 rows of data, each of the first 9 rows of data were assigned the page number 1. Rows 10-18 would be assigned page number 2. In this way, I was able to group the report based on the page number.
If no data was assigned to a given page, I had an additional dataset that generated the correct number of blank rows to fill the same gap and maintain the correct page layout.
I have the following format in my dataset (see Dataset Layout screenshot).
I need this report to show like the following (see Report Layout screenshot) with a bit of a difference, but first let me explain.
This report is a "monthly" report that shows the data for each day of a given month. What I have shown in the Report Layout screen shot is how the report displays if the user only selects one available value for column "Level!2!Sample". So in other words, instead of seeing multiple values in that column as shown in the screen print, it would only contain one distinct value. This report works when only one item is available, but I need to allow for multiple options.
What I need to do is be able to display data like this for multiple values of "Level!2!Sample", and each time a new "Level!2!Sample" is encountered, it would create a new matrix as shown in the screen print. So if there are four distinct items for this column, I would have four different tables shown on the report, each displaying the data for the given distinct value of the "Level!2!Sample" column.
I assume I would need to use an "Order By" clause to get my data looking correctly:
Order By
Level!2!Sample,
name!3!Title,
month!4!ReportMonth
But I am not sure how to get SSRS to create a new matrix when the new level!2!sample record is encountered.
I hope my explanation makes sense as to what I am trying to do. Any help is greatly appreciated.
You can't create a new matrix like that but there are other options.
Simple option: Create one big matrix grouped by Level!2!Sample and have page break between groups. This would obviously mean you would end up with 4 pages in your sample scenario which may not be ideal.
Slightly less simple option:
Create a new report
Include your parameter as you did for the current report.
Add a dataset (let's call it dsLoop) that returns a single column and 1 record per selected parameter entry. This might look something like SELECT DISTINCT Level!2!Sample FROM myTable WHERE Level!2!Sample IN(#myParameter).
Add a table with a single column and a single row and set it's width to the width of your report/page.
Set the dataset for the table to be dsLoop
In the table's cell insert a subreport and set the subreport properties to point to your original report
Set the subreport parameter to Level!2!Sample from your dataset.
Notes:
a. You can get rid of the available values and related datasets from your original report as these are no longer needed (optional)
b. You can add rows before or after the cell with the subreport if you want to add gaps between each tablix.
Basically your new report acts as a loop and creates one row per selected item in the parameter list, each row contains an entire subreport with the parameter for the current row passed to it.
The net result is that you will get a 'new' table for each selected entry.
Hope that makes sense.
I am trying to export my report to a CSV file. But, upon exporting the file the values are appearing in the reverse order. Here is an example of my report layout with few columns for your reference.
The first one is a Tablix and the second one is a Textbox. When the user selects a date and if there are any records, the records as well as their count should be displayed. If there are no records, an informational message will be displayed. Let's assume I have some 10 records returned. Then, I would like to export that report to a CSV file. When exporting to CSV, the 'Total Employees' count is appearing on the top of the file and the records are appearing on the bottom of the report. However, I would like to have the records displayed first and the count at the bottom in the CSV file just like the report.
Also, I would like to know if the title "Total Employees" can be hidden displaying only the count when exported to CSV.
Thanks!
I did a trick so that the SSRS Report displays in a neat way and the CSV file can be generated as expected.
I created a Matrix below the Tablix with only column that shows the count of the employees and has hidden the other rows when showing the report on web. This way it will only display the count on the web and when exported to CSV will show the Total count on the bottom of the records.
I have a report that has one table with two rows. The first row is just a header, the second is a subreport. The subreport consists of a single table. I want to pass one parameter into the subreport (Fields!patient_id.Value) and have the subreport repeat for every patient id. I have that working, but for some reason it inserts a pagebreak after every instance of the subreport when I look at the print preview, even though it could easily fit four of them on one page. I haven't set anything to insert a pagebreak at any place in the report or the subreport. I do want the page to break, but only when there is not enough room on the page to fit an entire subreport.
I've done enough troubleshooting to be able to say for certain that it is the subreport control or the subreport itself that is causing the problem, not the table. Any help would be appreciated.
Edit: It's also important to note that when I preview my subreport, there are no page breaks.
I found a solution. Instead of putting the subreport into the table, I put it into a list with a grouping expression of "=Fields!patient_id.Value".
set the ConsumeContainerWhitespace = True on the Report Properties
default is set to false and it attempts to preserve the blank space next to your table
I have built a report pretty basic just a table wiht 45 rows of data. Problem is its only showing one row of data and its the last row. It displays just fine in the dataset and proc. any suggestiosn?
The table is in the body of the report.
make sure the fields don't have first() or last() in them.
probably you have put the fields in the header of the report
build your first report with the report creation wizard and after change it the way you want it
or you can just try create a table in the detail part (not header nor footer) of your report and drag some fields from the datasource explorer into the table, after click the preview tab and you will some a table with some records. good luck
You could check if there are any filters associated with the dataset. Click on the Edit DataSet button and check the Filters tab.
