I want to use the Max() function to only return the highest date within the ShipDate field for each order. SSRS 2012 doesn't allow you to use an aggreagte in a calculated field and I would normally use it as an expression in a table, but I also need it within a Pie Chart. Now I can't see how you use an expression in a Pie Chart, it only lets me select a field created within the DataSet. What would be the best way to get around this issue?

I've constructed a cube using SSAS, and I'm using that cube to fuel an SSRS report. Using Excel, I can generate reports as pivot tables from the SSAS source, and I'm trying to replicate some of that functionality as a report in SSRS instead.
Here's how I have the thing set up in Excel:
As you can see from the pictures, I have several stats that are being displayed per row rather than per column. The results that are displayed per row are aggregated statistics (sum, count, etc...).
How do I accomplish this same thing using SSRS? In Excel, it was simply a question of saying "Move to Row Labels".
You can create a Matrix, set the column group to be by fiscal calendar .
Within the row group you will need to add additional detail rows and place each value on the row.
This should give you the desired results more of less.
I have an SSRS report that contains a group where the row DataSet contains a date-time column in addition to other value columns. I want to place a pie chart at the top of my report that indicates totals from the newest row based on the date-time column within each group. How can I do this?
Here is a simple snippet of what the report looks like. The pie chart would basically total up all of the Outcomes for the newest "Started DT" row for each "Test Case" group. So, in the example report below, the chart would have a total of 1 "Passed" and 2 "Failed" on the pie chart.
I'm really having a hard time figuring out how to do this. I've tried adding a variable to the group that contains the Outcome from the first row, thinking that I could reference the total of the variables in my chart. Problem is..., SSRS won't let me put an aggregate expression on a Group variable.
I came up with a workaround. I added another dataset to my report that calls the same stored procedure, but with different parameters that restrict the number of days being reported to the newest date-time. This solution only worked for my particular situation because the stored procedure had a param that would allow me to get the data that I want.
I am simply trying to divide a cost by a count from a pregrouped view. It worked fine for me with a different view, but this one is displaying numbers that are all over the place. Any insight would be much appreciated.

This worked for me!!!
Delete the calculated field you are trying to create in the dataset properties, In SSRS you cannot use aggregation functions like SUM in calculated field expression. Those calculation must be perfomed in the report itself. – alejandro zuleta
I'm using SSRS in SQL Server 2008 with Report Builder 3.0 and was wondering, when I add a field on my report from a dataset, why does it automatically add the First() function to it ?
Instead of adding [Field] in a text box, it adds =First(Fields!Field, "Dataset")
Datasets are assumed to always be multiple rows (even though that may not always be the case). So when you drag a field to a report object that isn't meant for multiple rows - such as a textbox - SSRS needs to use an aggregate function of some sort, so that if multiple rows do come back from the dataset, the report doesn't break (since that textbox isn't made to automatically repeat itself for every row).
FIRST is chosen simply because it's least destructive; it could just as easily be SUM, AVG, or any other aggregate function.
I'm using reporting services 2005, I have a report with a table(table1) which displays data from an sql database.
A column on the table displays numbers. I want the total of all rows for that column, on a textbox(textbox3)
of another table(lets call it table2).
I tried placing this on a table2 textbox: =Sum(ReportItems!textbox1.Value)
texbox1 is the one from the table1. But when going to the Preview tab i get:
Error 2 [rsAggregateReportItemInBody] The Value expression for the textbox 'textbox3' uses an aggregate function on a report item. Aggregate functions can be used only on report items contained in page headers and footers.
How can I solve this?
Thanks.
You've got a couple of options.
The first is to use an expression similar to the following in the Textbox:
=Sum(Fields!value.Value, "Values")
Where Values is the name of the DataSet you want to aggregate.
Here you're creating an aggregate expression and specifying the scope where it executes, in this case a DataSet, i.e. aggregate all values in the DataSet.
As you can see from the error you're getting you can reference a report item with an aggregate, but if you're displaying the aggregate in the table header or footer you can reference that Textbox.
Here's a simple report showing both methods:
Hopefully you can adapt one method to your report.
