I'm trying to join two data sets in my SSRS table report. The problem is that I can only concatenate two columns in my lookup statement. The third is being ignored. I need to do more than two. how can I achieve this? my values are duplicating in my drill-down report.
thanks for the help.
=Lookup(Fields!MONTH_OF_SERVICE.Value+Fields!REGION.Value+Fields!CLINIC_NAME.Value,Fields!C_MOS.Value+Fields!C_REGION.Value+Fields!CN.Value,Fields!CNT.Value,"DataSet5")
Without much more info on the datasets (data types, sample data from each dataset etc) it's difficult to offer much help.
In general though you can ...
Check that the datatypes of the corresponding fields are the same
Pad the values in in each column so they are the same width to avoid things like Month= 1 + Region = 1 matching to Month = 11 in the lookup dataset. For example if month is a number, format it to be 2 characters such as 04 for April
Add calculated columns to both datasets that will generate your lookup 'key'. The advantage of this is that you can show these temporarily in your report so you can ensure they are unique and the LOOKUP function is simpler as you will only be referencing a single field.

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 would like to build a report like this
In this report 2015 and 2016 columns are from different tables and I need the difference of both of them as result in another table the data set for 2015 and 2016 are also different. The data is pulled from cube. I tried this expression to get the result
ReportItems!textbox10.Value-ReportItems!textbox5.Value here textbox 10(2016 column) and textbox5(2015 column) but when I do this calculation I'm getting this result set
Technically you can reference a textbox with an expression like this:
=ReportItems!TextBoxList1.Value
However, I would strongly caution against this as it usually goes against best practices. Textboxes in tables are meant to be dynamic based on the grouping you define. It would be best to refer to the actual values from the dataset using the Lookup function. See here for more info on that.
Edit based on feedback:
There are two ways you can go about this.
Remove the filters from the query and apply the filters on the tables. This way, you can use table grouping to separate out the numbers, but still compare them to the total. The difference expression would look something like this:
=Sum(Fields!Amt.Value) - Sum(Fields!Amt.Value, "RowGroupName")
With your existing structure, use a lookup like this:
=Fields!Amt2.Value - Lookup(Fields!ID1.Value, Fields!ID2.Value, Fields!Amt1.Value, "Dataset1Name")
Just stuck on getting information from two sources, we have a MYSQL database for repairs information which I have in SSRS, this brings back 7000 rows. We have another Repairs database in Oracle which brings back over 3 million rows.
I can't seem to bring the one from oracle as it exceeds the maximum limit, but is there any way do a left join using so i can bring only the two columns i need from the oracle one into the MySQl one which would mean i have 7000 rows plus the 2 columns from Oracle which have a common Primary key. I can't seem to join on two dataset with it being on two database.
Can anyone help.
THank you in advance
You can use the Lookup function in SSRS to find a value from one dataset based on a common key.
=Lookup(Fields!SaleProdId.Value, Fields!ProductID.Value, Fields!Name.Value, "Product")
Use Lookup to retrieve the value from the specified dataset for a
name-value pair where there is a 1-to-1 relationship. For example, for
an ID field in a table, you can use Lookup to retrieve the
corresponding Name field from a dataset that is not bound to the data
region.
(BIDs Description)
In the above example, the SalesProdID from one dataset is being used to relate to the ProductID in the Product table to get the Name field.
This will only return one value, though. This may or may not be OK depending on your data. If you need to return multiple values, use LookupSet.
=LookupSet(Fields!TerritoryGroupID.Value, Fields!TerritoryID.Value, Fields!StoreName.value, "Stores")
Use LookupSet to retrieve a set of values from the specified dataset
for a name-value pair where there is a 1-to-many relationship. For
example, for a customer identifier in a table, you can use LookupSet
to retrieve all the associated phone numbers for that customer from a
dataset that is not bound to the data region.
Unfortunately, you might need to SUM a Lookup but that isn't supported by a function in SSRS. Fortunately, users created a function for it:
SSRS Count Occurances based on multiple columns
I have four datasets that get information for four different things (a unique set of fields for each one), but that can be joined using a field they share. I need to get them all into a tablix that will have four rows, one for each dataset per the linking field. How do I do that?
Currently I can only put in values from one dataset.
Often the best idea would be to create a query that joins the datasets in the sql. If that is not possible, you can look into using the Lookup function to find info from other datasets in your report. The related Lookupset function is able to retrieve sets of information and may be useful as well.
I have two different-2 datasets with different fileds which are getting populated through two stored procedures with same input parameters.each datsets have different colums and no of columns around 180,my concern is how will i use these two different datsets in single report with two differents fields(two differnt tables).for one dataset i have used report wizard,but not able to figure out for the second dataset.Please suggest for the same..
You can use two different datasets in different reports regions on one Report. For example, If you have two datasets, lets say DS1 showing EmployeeDetail and DS2 showing SalesInfo. You can use them separately in two tables one showing Employees Details and other showing Sales Info. If you plan to merge this data and use it in one table, These are option.
Recommended option : Re-write your query to create single dataset containing possible data you want to show in tabular fashion.
Would work but would be lot slower : Use DS1 in a table in Main Report where each row contains Epmloyee Detail, Wihtin that Row call a Sub-Report passing EmployeeDetail's key which is related to a column in SalesInfo. Create sub-report showing SaledInfo data, call this report in main report passing key value from DS1 to this sub-report.
Specify data set name in third column
Example:
=First(Fields!fieldname.Value,"DataSet1")
Using two different or multiple datasets in a report is not a problem at all, as long as they do not belong to the same data region (charts, tables, etc.)
In addition to Ron's answer, if you are looking to get data from different datasets in one data region, you could also use Lookup or LookupSet in the field expressions.
Additionally, you may also create one dataset and filter out some data from it in data regions. For example, if you have one big dataset of all employees, and you would like to display all employees that joined in the year 2012 in a table, you could filter out the dataset using Filter properties of table.
You can simply add multiple table in your report , and change datasetName from tablix properties for each of your table .
you will also need binding source to fill that dataset .
this.invoiceTableAdapter.Fill(this.ARQutationDataSet.invoice);
