SSRS Hide columns based on Multi valued parameter - reporting-services

I have an SSRS report that has two parameters. A Description and Partner name. You can select more than one description or all of them but only one partner. When i select one or more descriptions report must only show columns that have values.
Issue is when i select all of them the report defaults to the structure of the first description regardless of the fact that when the 2nd or 3rd description row starts there is data in that column and it should be showing it. So it ends up hiding columns that should be showing
I have the below code in code visibility expression
=IIF(IsNothing(Fields!Working_Office.Value),True,False)
I suspect my issue has to do with the Multi valued parameter,

In SSRS is there a way to use newspaper columns and still have a new page per group?

My dataset is grouped by customer then itemtype and then the details are the itemcodes and descriptions.
I am using the Newspaper column setting so that the list of items continues on to the right side of the page instead of moving on to the next page.
My problem is that I want to start a brand new page for each customer. Since SSRS treats each column as a page break, I get a page where one column belongs to one customer and the next column belongs to another.
I have tried the page break setting on the different group and the tablix properties to try and force a double page break to happen with no luck. I have also tried to drop a rectangle into the table and use the page break setting there, also no luck.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jessica
I've not used the multi-column layout so I can;t directly comment on that but what you could potentially do is use a subreport.
If the following does not help, post a sample of your data and your current report design and I'll post a full answer.
In short, create a report that only handles a single customer, so it will need to have a parameter passed into it that identifies each customer such as a CustomerID.
Once you have the report working with a single customer, create another report.
On this report create a dataset that just contains a list of customers you want to report on (so a list of CustomerID's for example).
Add a table to the report and remove all but a single "cell". Expand this cell to be roughly the width of your subreport (it does not have to be exact).
Set the dataset property of this table to the dataset containing your list of customers.
In the remaning cell, right-click then Insert >> Subreport. This will fill the cell with a subreport control. Right-click the subreport control and set the subreport to be the sub-report we created earlier that handles 1 customer. In the parameters, set the CustomerID parameter to the field from your customer list dataset.
Finally, right-click the 'details' rowgroup and set page breaks to 'between each instance'.
This will generate one subreport per customer and put a page break between each.

[SSRS][SharePoint] How to avoid display the elements when counting on a group by tablix?

New to SSRS, we asked me to create a simple report on SSRS, linked to a Sharepoint List.
The Report consists of a tablix with two columns: Client and the number of orders they passed.
The first column is only containing the sharepoint field "Client Name", and the report generate automatically a list of Clients based on the content of the Sharepoint List. The Column is also used as a group by to the Tablix, to group the results by Client Name.
My second column is an expression :
=Count(Fields!ID.Value, "Client")
The column is working nearly accordingly to my willing : the report displays the number of orders by client in the list, but... When a client has more than one order, the count is displayed the same number of times.
How can i prevent that? I tried a Running Value solution, or only count.. But if the results are not the right one, the same problem is occuring : The report tablix have as much rows than elements list.
Picture for helping, because my english is far for perfect.

You can set client column in group expression in Details section. Check below screen shot, It will help you.

Can you link multiple tablixes on a key field in a single SSRS report?

I am creating a report in SSRS to show evaluation scores. It has three sections, and I need to link them all together on the PreceptorID field (2108 in this case). The top two sections are from the same query. I am filtering the results in each one to separate the counts because they have different column names. The third section is a subreport showing comments from evaluators. It also has the PreceptorID field in the data but is not displaying it. It has two parameters that should be populated by the main report query, but that does not appear to be happening. The report is returning all comments instead of only the ones with the matching PreceptorID.
This first image is from Crystal Reports showing how the finished product should look.
This is what I am getting from SSRS. It is showing counts for multiple people at the top. The counts in the middle are actually correct. They are all for the one person. The next person's counts are on the next page. The comments at the bottom are also not filtering on the one PreceptorID.
This image showing the subreport parameter that should be linking it back to the main query.
How can I tell all three sections to only return data for the same person on one page, and another person on the next page?
I would redesign the report structure slightly. This is only my personal preference, there are several ways to achieve this but I find this way easier to manage and maintain.
You'll need two subreports and a master report.
You already have the 2nd subreport so no extra work required there.
I would take you current report, strip out the link to the current subreport and change it so it only processes a single person (just like your existing sub report).
So SubReport1 will have the two tables from your current main report only. It will only accept a single person as a parameter (or pair of parameters in your case)
SubReport2 will be your current subreport. Again it only accepts a single person.
Next create a new report. This will be the master report.
Add a dataset that contains just enough info for list of people you want to report over. So the dataset query might be as simple as
SELECT PreceptorID, ClerkshipID FROM myTable ORDER BY PreceptorID
Add a table to this report and set it's dataset property to the dataset you just created.
Change the default (details) row group to group and order by whatever makes each record unique (maybe both the two columns listed above, may only one will be required, only you will know this).
Right-Click on the row header to the left of your table and do "Insert Row => Inside Group Below".
Remove all but one column
You should now have a table with 2 rows per group.
Right click the top cell in the group and do "Insert => Subreport", go to the subreport properties and point this to SubReport1 (or whatever you called it) and set the parameters has you have done previously.
Repeat this for second row, this time pointing to your second subreport.
In the row group properties, set page breaks to "Between each instance"
That should be it. This was done from memory so might not be 100% but based on the info in your question you should be able to work it out from here.
Things to check if this is not working
Open each subreport and test it by passing in parameters manually. Each subreport should only be returning data for a single person.
The master report should have a dataset that returns each person once i.e. if there are 10 people in total this dataset should only contain 10 rows.
The table in the master report should contain only two rows
Both rows must be EITHER within the same row group, or, if you have no other row groups, they will both be in the detail row group.
The report design should look something like this if you have a row group by person
or like this if you only have detail rows.
Finally, make sure the parameters you pass to your subreports are the Field values from your master report's dataset, NOT your master reports parameters.

SSRS New page per selected Parameter

I have a report which uses 3 datasets and on the report a am using Multiple Tables and Textboxes and expressions. When I run the report I have to select a Parameter which in this example is 'City'.
I want a new page for each City (parameter) , I have read to use page breaks and grouping but I selected a List from the toolbox and put that on top of my report, selected 2 'Cities' and expected it to return 2 pages but it returned 49 pages (majority blank)
I want a separate page per city how can I achieve this?
Thanks
If I understand you correctly (it difficult to be sure if you don't post your current design) then you would be better using subreports.
I'm assuming Cities are in a table in your database and each have a unique ID. If you only have the names then you can use CityName inplace of CityID and it will still work.
Create a new report.
Create new dataset (say dsSelectedCities and the set dataset query to something like ...
SELECT CityID, CityName FROM myCitiesTable WHERE CityID IN (#CityParameter)
This will automatically generate a report parameter called #CityParameter. Set the available values etc just the way you did in your original report, so if you need to add another dataset for this then do so. In this example I've assumed labels will be CityName and Values will be CityID. Whatever goes into the Values is what will be passed to our subreport.
Now add a table to you report, it only needs to be one column wide and one row long so just remove any other rows and columns just make sure you leave the detail row and not the header.
Set the dataset for the table to be dsSelectedCities
Make this remaining cell with wide enough to accommodate your subreport (which will be the report you originally wrote).
In the cell, insert a subreport
Set the subreport properties to point to your original report and set the parameter to the CityID field.
This table will act as a loop, for each record found in dsSelectedCities it will give us one row. As each row will have a single CityID we are passing that to the subreport, the subreport in turn just shows one City.
Set the page break option on the details group to break between instances.
You will probably have to modify your original report to accept a single CityID, it depends on how it was designed but hopefully this should get you going.
If this is unclear then post your current report design including all the details about parameters and I'll update the answer.

SSRS Report - Display Single Data Row Vertically

I've built a report that is being passed simple Order data on a single row. For the "detail" fields from this row I would like to display them as follows:
Field1Name Field1Value
Field2Name Field2Value
etc...
For some reason, I'm having trouble getting this to work in SSRS. Every time I add one of the fields to my Table/Matrix controls, SSRS expands the control horizontally.
How would we display data from our single row so the field names are in Column 1 and the field values are in column 2?
Thank you
You cand do this if you change your query to use a PIVOT; then it will display correctly by default.
