I've got a problem about SSRS design.
I need to make a report to display a list of item size.
I need to have 1 line per item with all the size of this item (and the quantity) on the same line
SSRS Design
The "Row group" have a grouping on the "Item No" field.

How can you put line 2 back to the beginning?
Thanks everyone for your help !
Data :

You can do this easily with a matrix control.
Drop a Matrix control onto your report and then drag Item_No to the 'Rows' placeholder, Size to the 'Columns' placeholder and Qty to the 'Data' placeholder.
this will will give you a basic matrix, the design looks like this...
And it will look like this when rendered..
This is not quite what you wanted but we can soon change that.
All you need to do is change the expression in the 'Data' cell from [Sum(qty)] to something like this ...
=FIRST(Fields!Size.Value) & " " & Sum(Fields!Qty.Value)
Now when we render we get this...
If you want to put line breaks in etc then you can just edit the expression to suit. Alternatively you can use placeholders in the cell to have even more control of the layout and formatting.

One of my columns has a value that looks like this -> "$5.95 (Park costs)"
and I need to display the value in column in SSRS report like this:
$5.95
(Park costs)
but font size of "(Park costs)" must be smaller than the price.
Is something like that even possible? To somehow make text that does not contain a number, dot or dollar sign smaller?
You can do this. You'll need to split up each component of the text column and then place each half in a placeholder. You can then format each placeholder individually.
This solution assumes that your column always contains a "(". If not you should be able to modify it to suit.
I Generated some test data and and placed it in a normal table (tablix) control.
I then added some new columns for testing that each part was working as expected.
The expression for "Cost" column is
=TRIM(LEFT(Fields!MyColumn.Value,InStr(Fields!MyColumn.Value, "(") -1))
The expression for the "Caption" column is
=TRIM(RIGHT(Fields!MyColumn.Value, LEN(Fields!MyColumn.Value) - InStr(Fields!MyColumn.Value, "(") + 1))
Once this was working OK I added the "Final Column".
To add a placeholder, click inside the textbox so the cursor appears then right-click and choose "Create Placeholder"
I added two placeholders with a space between then and set the values to the expressions above respectively. I then right clicked the placeholders chose "Placeholder Properties" and formatted each individually.
The final output looks like this. (I left the test columns in for clarity)
I have certain product codes with varying number of letters/digits e.g. 53HD6J, HH88WBD3 (varies between 5 to 10 letters/digits). In order for our barcode to scan these correctly there has to be 13 letters/digits. I don't want to make the user to input -XXXX after each code but rather have Access calculate the difference between 13 and the length of the code and fill the remaining with a X's. Is this possible either by vba or and expression?
I currently am using about 6 IIFs in one formula to fill remaining blanks with X's but hoping there is an easier way.
I have a form to enter in the batch number (product code). Once that form is submitted it links to a report that is printed. On the report are those batch numbers (53HD6J, HH88WBD3). The spot I want to have this feature is in a text box right next to the codes where Access determines the length of the codes and computes the remaining X's to add. This is in barcode font so this text box is where the 53HD6JXXXXXXX would go. Hope that clears it up!
So I have that part figured out. My problem now is my barcode font reads the text no matter what and translates it still so barcode shows up when the batch number is blank (I have four spots for batch codes to be inputted). So what I had before was =IIf([Text31]="",""&[Text31]&"","") which seemed to work. Hopefully I can continue this with the new formula. If that's unclear let me know.
**(The "" & & "" is so the barcode can be scanned).
My formula was wrong right above with the IIf. I figured it out! Forgot I had used ' Like "*" '. Thanks!
You can do what you want with String() and Left().
Here is an example from the Access Immediate window:
product_code = "53HD6J"
? product_code & String(13, "X")
53HD6JXXXXXXXXXXXXX
? Left(product_code & String(13, "X"), 13)
53HD6JXXXXXXX
Based on the update to your question, I think you can use that approach for the Control Source of a text box where you want to display the "expanded" product code.
Pretend your report has a text box named txtProduct_code where the raw product code, such as 53HD6J, is displayed. And there is a second text box where you want to display that value with the required number of X characters (53HD6JXXXXXXX).
Use this as the Control Source property of that second text box:
= Left([txtProduct_code] & String(13, "X"), 13)
Alternatively, you could make it a field expression in the report's Record Source query.
SELECT
product_code,
Left(product_code & String(13, "X"), 13) AS expanded_product_code
FROM YourTable;
I have a question, want some assistance.
Q) My question is that i have a chart in which analyst assigned for many incidents and some analyst have 1 or two incident assigned. just because of this the bar chart looks ugly some time. So thats why i used a new chart to represent Min incident count. But i want there some creativeness, for which i want there a radio button or OnClick event ( I do not know how to use both these. When report runs by default it`ll show Max incidents count chart and when we used radio button it will show Min incidents count chart, on the same chart area no need of new area or on new page.
Kindly help me or refer me some links and with ideas. As i have searched many blogs but i didn`t get any big achievement.
Below is my Simplified query;
SELECT
Count(IncidentDimvw.Id)
,UserDimvw.FirstName AS Analyst
FROM
IncidentDimvw
FULL JOIN WorkItemDimvw
ON IncidentDimvw.EntityDimKey = WorkItemDimvw.EntityDimKey
JOIN WorkItemAssignedToUserFactvw
ON WorkItemDimvw.WorkItemDimKey = WorkItemAssignedToUserFactvw.WorkItemDimKey
JOIN UserDimvw
ON WorkItemAssignedToUserFactvw.WorkItemAssignedToUser_UserDimKey = UserDimvw.UserDimKey
WHERE
WorkItemAssignedToUserFactvw.DeletedDate IS NULL
GROUP BY
UserDimvw.FirstName
Having (Count(IncidentDimvw.Id) = (#Count))
Having Clause is right or wrong, i donot know.
I used the following expresion in series as you suggested.
=iif(Parameters!Count.Value, Max(Sum(Fields!ID.Value)), Min(Sum(Fields!ID.Value)))
Sample data is as folows;

I can think of a couple of ways to approach this:
Dynamic expressions based on parameter
Say you have a simple DataSet like:
And also a boolean parameter called showMax.
We can create a simple bar graph based on this:
The most important thing to note is that Series value is expression-based:
In the above example the expression is:
=IIf(Parameters!showMax.Value
, Max(Fields!value.Value)
, Min(Fields!value.Value))
i.e. when showMax is true, report the Max values, otherwise report the min values.
In this case I've also updated the Axis title, Chart title, and Custom legend text to be expression-based:
Axis Title: =IIf(Parameters!showMax.Value, "Max", "Min")
Chart Title: =IIf(Parameters!showMax.Value, "Max per group", "Min per group")
Custom legend text: =IIf(Parameters!showMax.Value, "Max value", "Min value")
The chart behaviour changes based on what parameter is selected as required:
Set Visibility based on parameter
Another option is simply to have to charts and hide one depending on parameter selection.
For example, for the Max chart the Hidden property can be set to:
=Not(Parameters!showMax.Value)
Setting this property correctly for each report will mean only one is ever displayed to the user, i.e. it will look dynamic.
Either of these options should work; the first keeps the layout simple in the designer makes the chart more complex, the second makes the layout more complex but keeps the charts simple.
Hopefully one option will work for you.
The problem is hard to explain ,
I have an access report with a stacked bar chart to show the percentage fills over time like the one in this example : Click here
The legend for the chart i have is a number followed by the name, for e.g
1-Mango
2-Apple
3-Banana
etc
I want to sort this according to the above format but when i have more than 10 items the 10-Pineapple comes before 1-mango when it should appear after 9-somefruit .
The underlying query for the access report uses a Cross Tab query in which the items are created as
Column heading:[PrefixPriorityNumber]&"-"&[FruitName]
I even used the Sort:Ascending but it still doesnt affect my custom ordering that i wanted to show.
I also tried to google "sorting alpha numeric strings" but this is clearly more than that.Any assistance is appreciated
The problem is you are getting a text sort. You need to format the prefix number.
Column heading: Format([PrefixPriorityNumber], "00") & "-" & [FruitName]
Either use another digit, as Remou suggests (01 instead of 1) or start using letters. A > 9, B > A, etc.
I am using SQL Server 2008 and I want to show 1 single field from a table in multiple columns in the report. Just like if I were to print labels. How can I achieve this?
Example:
Instead of printing:
Names Report
Andrea
Austin
Barbara
Bob
Bruno
Cathy
Chis
...
I want to print in columns (say 3 fixed columns):
Names Report
Andrea ---- Bruno ---- Darren
Austin ---- Cathy ---- Francis
Barbara ---- Chis ---- Gabriel
Bob ---- David ---- Gerald
....... ---- ....... ---- .......
Edit: If I run the report and click on "Print Layout" button, I can see multiple columns. Can I set this mode as default?
For Horizontal layout of labels...
One choice is to use the columns property on the report or body elements.
This doesn't always display correctly On reportviewer. I've noticed that even if it displays correctly on your IDE and when you export to PDF. In the report viewer it will display only one column. Also it snakes the labels top to bottom then left to right.
One choice is to use a matrix and group on every 3 rows (if you want 3 columns).
This one is a little complicated.
My solution of choice is to put 3 vertical lists on the page. put the same label in each list. Return the row number in your dataset. Then just filter each list on modulo 3
For example
Result set
RIndex Fname
1 abe
2 burt
3 fred
4 george
Filter expressions
list 1 -> =Fields!RIndex.Value mod 3 = =1
list 2 -> =Fields!RIndex.Value mod 3 = =2
list 3 -> =Fields!RIndex.Value mod 3 = =0
Result
Abe Burt Fred
George
The method I use is a bit similar as what Vern suggested but differs enough to make it worth mentioning here.
You can combine the ROW_NUMBER with the modulo (%) operator directly in the query to fabricate the column number in which the record should get displayed. Here's an example that generates one while taking a group into account:
declare #numberOfColumns int = 4;
select dpc.EnglishProductCategoryName, dp.ProductAlternateKey
, (ROW_NUMBER() OVER (
PARTITION BY dpc.EnglishProductCategoryName
ORDER BY dp.ProductAlternateKey) + #numberOfColumns - 1) % #numberOfColumns + 1
as DisplayColumn
from dbo.DimProduct dp
inner join dbo.DimProductSubcategory dps on dps.ProductSubcategoryKey = dp.ProductSubcategoryKey
inner join dbo.DimProductCategory dpc on dpc.ProductCategoryKey = dps.ProductCategoryKey;
To get this displayed I'm using nested tables which are then filtered on DisplayColumn.
Have a read through following article for all the details: Creating Multiple-Column Reports
Use the 'Report' menu in Visual Studio and select 'Report Properties'. You can set columns in the 'Layout' tab.
Try this msdn article about newsletter-style reports for more details: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159107.aspx
This method does have a limitation though so in some cases it might not be applicable:
Only PDF and Image renderers support
newsletter-style reports.
EDIT:
So one approach is to use multiple tablix with a filter that checks RowNumber and accordingly displays particular records in each table.
The other way is called Newsletter-style report (link). This formatting is retained only when report is exported as PDF or Image. It can be previewed only when you select 'Print Layout' on the Preview tab in Visual Studio. Here is an example:
Create a new report with the foll. dataset: SELECT ID,NAME FROM TABLENAME
Add a new table to the report and select the ID and Name as columns
Click on the tablix and press F4 to edit the tablix properties. In the properties window, change the Size - set the width to 2in
Click on the report area outside the report page boundary and press F4 to edit the report properties. In the properties window, change the Column value to 3, and column spacing value to 0.1
On the report scroll to the right hand side, you will notice that there are 2 new columns (so totally 3 columns on the report - because you selected 3 in step 4 above). Now click on the margin at the start of the column 2 and pull it further to the left to bring it as close to the column 1. This is only to reduce the need for huge page size.
Right click on the report area outside the report page boundary and select Report Properties. Change the Page Size - Set the width to 10in
Preview the report. Now select the 'Print Layout' tab to see the result. This formatting is retained only when report is exported as PDF or Image.
As noted in points 5 and 6 - since the report body flows into multiple columns, you must ensure that the page size is at-least equal to -> ([Original report body size times the number of columns] + all the column spacing values). Otherwise it will look messy.
