I am trying to develop a matrix chart in Power BI report builder (paginated report). When I drop the data field, it auto-generates the total column like this which are highlighted yellow
The property of the paginated reports are like this
Can someone please tell me how to remove the yellow highlighted auto-generated column from he report?
I don't think that is a total column, otherwise it would show in the report design.
It looks like your data may contain rows with blank years/months and/or blank portfolio/account names so the matrix is simply aggregating those as it would with any other data.
I suggest you look at the output of your dataset query and filter the data out there or if that is not possible for whatever reason. Filter the data out in the dataset filter properties.

I have a query that returns relevant data about inspectors and how long it takes them to respond to issues. The only parameters are a BeginDate and EndDate so for any given date range there could be anywhere from 0 to 100 inspectors.
I am using only one dataset and it contains an "Inspector" field that I'm hoping can be used as a filter to create as many tables as there are inspectors.
I know you can set filters on tables but from my (limited) SSRS knowledge, you must already have the tables created and the filters are typically hard-coded. What I need, is some way for the report to see how many Inspectors there are in the dataset and group those records into their own tables, repeating the same one created tablix over and over as needed.
This is being done strictly in SSRS 2012, not using a ReportViewer where back-end code could help me out unfortunately...
I don't have any code examples to provide, like I said I know you can do filtering but I am at a loss when it comes to doing something like this dynamically based on data... Sorry.
Depending on the report design you could either...
Single report with grouping
1. Create a single tablix.
2. Create a row group by Inspector and then add whatever fields you need to the details section.
3. You can optionally set page breaks between instances of your Inspector rowgroup from the rowgroup properties.
Sub report method
1. Create a subreport that accepts a parameter (InspectorID for example).
2. In the subreport filter the dataset using the parameter passed in so it only return data for a single inspector.
3. Add whatever controls you need to the report to handle a single Inspector
4. Create a main report
5. Add a dataset that gives you a simple distinct list of Inspectors, this will be used to pass parameters to the subreport.
Lets assume it just contains a list of InspectorIDs.
6. Add a list control to the report and set it's dataset property to the dataset that contains your list of InspectorIDs
7. Right-click in the list control's 'cell' and insert a subreport.
8. Set the subreport property to the subreport you created earlier and set that parmameter IsnpectorID to your InpsectorID field.
This will produce a subreport for each instance of inspector it finds.
Sorry about the format of this answer, in a rush!
I am trying to format a dataset in SSRS for readability and to meet design specifications. My dataset is returning expected values and I have created appropriate Row Groups, or at least I believe I have, for the report and when I preview the report - it looks correct, but just not the way I need it formatted.
The first two images are how I have the tablix formatted in SSRS and the row grouping I created.
And how the report looks when run:
And lastly, I have drawn a mockup of how I am hoping to format the tablix for this particular report - which includes having each particular row group in it's own row and the details ( questions and answers ) appear on on a separate row as well. The first section is the template while the rest is an example of data in the format I wish to have:
Anyone have any advice on how this could be accomplish?
Try formatting your report like this:
I am generating a table in SSRS based on the selection made by the user on two filters: Filter1 and Filter2 (say). The table so displayed has 10 columns and I wish to add filter option listing all available values for that column for all 10 columns.
Basically, I am trying to replicate the Excel functionality of filtering down data on each and every column.
Please note that I tried creating a new data set and a parameter taking all distinct values for a particular variable. However, I am still not able to get the desired results by filter the tablix on that parameter
Is there a way I can do that?
You'd need to make a new dataset that is a smaller version of your main dataset. It would need to return all potential values for the column(s) you want to filter in a single column to be used in a parameter.
Without seeing the design of the report or the dataset itself it's quite hard to be more specific.
I need to add a filter to a Report, that within anotherreport, the filtered results appear in the drilldown report.
For example: An .rdl file displays the first report, in that report a link can be clicked to access another report (.rdl) file. The report that displays after clicking link should be filtered by option selected from the first report(.rdl).
How could this be done? My thought that two datasets in each report could provide the information for the filter, however the filter expression is not valid this way...? I know this may not be the best way to do this.
So creating a drilldown report would be more acceptable. Creating one report and including a dataset with it by setting parameters to be called in the drilldown.
Does there need to be two datasets for each report to do this? I was assuming that the filter expression be written to do this: Field!.name.value AND Field!.name.value, etc to the whatever value I need to compare to or by.
Could this be a shared dataset to do this?
I was able to solve or partially solve this. I created a new report, with a query with the necessary columns that I needed in report 2. The drillthrough report(report 2) is linked from a textbox from a report allowing a user to view the information they need by clicking a link that displays the new report(passing the parameters from report 2 to the new report). If anyone has trouble with this, the simplest way would be to create one report and pass parameters to report two with parameters created from whatever query you want to use that has the values you want as columns in the report.
All,
I've been working on a custom timesheet report that uses multiple datasets (8 to be exact). Each dataset selects the data by the same ID field which is currently input as a parameter. It works great like that. But now I'm told that the end user wants to input a date and have all the reports printed out for that date rather than having to enter in an ID each time. Each timesheet is 2 - 3 pages. It is intended to emulate a form and contains some data but a lot of blank areas to allow the field people to write in any changes that have occurred.
My question, is this: what is the best way of accommodating the new requirement? Should I build it all as one big dataset and use the date as a parameter?
Should I create a wrapper report that would prompt for the date and then use the existing report as sub report? Would that even work?
Is there any way I can just create a new date parameter and put that ahead of the ID parameter and get them to print out like that? I've got a few hidden parameter fields on the body that get used in the page header and are used to link some of the datasets.
any help is appreciated.
Easiest way to achieve this is indeed by creating a wrapper report with the date parameter. The data set in this report will then fetch all items (with ID) that match the query by the user. The report can then have a list for that dataset, with the original report as a subreport. If you pass the ID parameter from the dataset to the subreport you wouldn't need to change hardly anything in the original report.
Two things to watch out for:
the Report Header and Footer in a subreport are not rendered - these are only rendered for the wrapper report
you may need to tweak your page breaks in the subreport and on the new list in the wrapper report so each new form starts on a fresh page
