I have a report (SSRS) with two tables and two data sets, first table(tablix) to load grouped data and second table(tablix) to load detailed data.
I would like to click dynamically, when I click on the first table of a record, it shows only the details of that record selected in the second table, is that possible?
If you mean you want to show two tables on screen at once and refresh only the second one when an item is clicked in the first table then no, you can't do this natively in SSRS.
There are two ways of doing something similar.
Combine both sets of data and have a single table with grouped rows. Hide the details until the group is expanded by setting the row visibility of the detail row to be based on a textbox that belongs in the parent group.
Use two report, have an action ("Go to Report") on the first report that launches the detail report and passes in the parameter in to filter only on the selected item.
None of these will give you exactly what you want, hopefully one of them might be an acceptable alternative.

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.
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 report needs to have aggregate and grouping from two data sets. I have managed to get this working using the lookup funcion. Looks like it is now duplicating the rows when I only want it to show the top row.
I have two groups. Active and Stanby. Each has different values in it but the same value per row.
I tried to hide duplicates under properties, but that now keeps the first row and the border of all other rows with an empty field inside of it.
The hide visibility doesnt seem to work - i think it might be because of the grouping.
Can someone help?

Let's say I have the following data:
In my SSRS report I have a parameter that prompts for MainID.
Now If I put MainID as 1, I should get one report. If I put MainID as 6, I should get 3 reports. Is there a way I can generate these reports dynamically using SSRS? Thanks.
I would approach this by creating a report that uses a List control, and has a page break between each item that you use to group by within that List. One report, a different page for each item of interest, SubID in this case.
Create a new report with an empty body.
Add the Data Source(s), Parameter(s), and Dataset(s) that are needed.
Add a List object to the body. Drag and drop it into the body from the Toolbox.
Set the Dataset for the list to the one you are using to return the data you have listed in your question.
In the Row Groups pane of the Visual Studio report designer, right click on the Details row, and choose Group Properties. On the General page, click the Add button under Group expressions, choose SubID from the Group on dropdown.
While in the same dialog, go to the Page Breaks page and check the Between each instance of a group option. Click OK.
Add a Tablix inside the List. This is what will show your data.
Add some fields to the Tablix. Add Detail and Notes, for no good reason on my part.
Run the report. If you have setup the data source and data set to properly run and filter base on your parameters, you should see something. Maybe an empty report.
Now (based on the data you provided), if you choose 1 for your MainID parameter, the report will display one page, but if you choose 6, you will get 3 page3, or however many records there are related to the parameter value for MainID in the database.
One report, multiple pages depending on the parameter/data. It's not a 3 different reports solutions, but something that could work for your situation.
I am trying to design a form where I can select multiple records and on button click open the report with the selected records IDs.
I am thinking maybe make a continuous form with an added unbound check box control where the user selects the appropriate records they want to display in the report. I am unsure how to later read this into a do.cmd OpenReport criteria property.
If there is an easier way to this please let me know.
Take a look at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/135546 or http://allenbrowne.com/ser-50.html. Another approach you could take is create a temporary table that contains a single field for your record ID. Using the code from the links, fill the temporary table with the record IDs that have been selected. Then all you need to do is change the query that drives your report to do an inner join with the temporary table.
Can you add a column to your dataset where they can determine which rows to print? You could add a printMe Y/N column, for example, and then use that field value to limit the rows for the report.
