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'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.

Hi, I am trying to make a timeline chart using two different datasets in my report. My first PERMIT NO works and counts perfectly. However, when I use my second PERMIT NO from the second dataset, it will sum them for each day. It should be showing 2 on 7/16, 1 on 7/17, and 0 for the rest of the month. But as you can see, for some reason it puts 3 for each day and I'm not sure why. Here is my expression being used:
Count(Fields!PERMIT_NO.Value, "DataSet2")
How would I go about fixing this? I tried sum, countdistinct, etc. but nothing worked properly.

Unfortunately, your count is getting the count of all PERMIT_NOs in DataSet2. The COUNT doesn't filter by your date.
You'll need to use a LOOKUPSET to get the data and then a VBA function like SUMLookup to SUM them.
Here's an answer that's similar to yours. Since you want a COUNT, use the number 1 to SUM instead of your PERMIT_NO field.
Need help in calculation using two Datasets using Expression SSRS
I have a report that I built in SSRS that calculates a sum of numbers for every business day going back 10 business days. There is a column group for each business day, and there are row groups for each item being totaled. The function to calculate the sum is a simple:
=Sum(Fields!INCOME.Value)
This returns data for example as such:
Now I am creating a report to indicate the change in data from day-to-day. I figured this would be simple with the Previous() function in SSRS. So I took the same dataset and in a new tablix I replaced the original calculation with:
=Sum(Fields!INCOME.Value)-Previous(Sum(Fields!INCOME.Value),"ASOFDT2")
The Column group is called ASOFDT2. This seems to work for all but the very first column, I get the following as a result:
My question is, does anyone know why this calculation is not performing in the first group, but is for all the rest? How can I make it properly calculate the first iteration of this? For informational purposes, I'm using SQL Server 2014, and I am building the report in Visual Studio 2013.
I have also reviewed the SO question: Use of Previous() function in reverse date sorted data in SSRS? though I am not sure how to apply this to my problem. The first column is my most recent set of data and I cannot select one column newer and just hide it.
The Previous() function gets the data in the Previous column. It doesn't have any understanding of what that data is, so if your columns are in Descending order, the Previous column will be the Next day, not the Previous day
It shouldn't be too hard to include the differential data in your dataset instead of trying to calculate it in the report. Just join the table to itself on YourDateColumn = DATEADD(dd, -1, YourDateColumn), and the right side of the join will have the previous day's data, and you can subtract for the difference.
I have built a report using Report Builder 3.0 (that uses SQL Server 2008 R2). Now i wish to now how many records are being fetched from database to the report?
This is possible either by count function in SSRS or by using RANK/ROW_NUMBER function in SQL Query and assigning that as field to the report (RANK/ROW_NUMBER would give us rank to each row and navigating to last page in report would help me getting the total row count).
I tried count function but that counts on some field in the report. For instance = Count(Field!FieldName.value, "DataSetName") Problem in this approach: "FieldName" is not unique in the report and hence the counts get repetitive
Second option: Added Rank/Row_Number but they too use the same kind of fieldName and hence here too the counts get duplicated.
Main Problem: There is no field in my query that is unique (and hence i tried ROW_NUMBER())
How can i find the total row count or rank (for each row) in SSRS 2008?
Use the CountRows function. For example
=CountRows("MyDataset")
will give you the number of rows in MyDataSet.
As someone else mentioned above, I couldn't get CountRows("DatasetName") to work in the header until I wrapped it thusly:CSTR(CountRows("DatasetName")).
In the Tablix control's properties, there's a property name called NoRowsMessage put your message here when no row is returned.
you can't put aggregation values into the detail wihtout grouping.
Solution is below:
=Count(Fields!rn.Value)
I use it inside the column/header row.
I found a workaround for this. First create a data column with the value always set to 1. This will provide a value of one for each row of data.
Query Column
, 1 AS Unit
Use the "RunningValue" function into your report as shown below.
=RunningValue(Fields!Unit.Value,Sum,"DataSet")
This will also work as a 'running sum' if that's something you're looking for.
I am modifying an existing report which is setup to let you view statistics per sales rep. You do this by changing the parameter sales rep in the report view.
I need to modify the report so that it can display a page for each sales rep. This will then be exported to Excel with each sales rep statistics being displayed in a separate tab.
I have researched this and found people talking about iterating over a report but I don't think that what they are referring too is what I am asking:

You can accomplish this several ways, so here is 1 suggestion
Create a new tablix report whose query returns a (unique) set of all sales reps
group by sales rep
there is no detail row, but in the group footer/header add a subreport
the subreport will be the report you already are using and it's parameter will be the sales_rep value from your main report query
set page breaks for the group
The main way I can think of doing it is to pass the parameters into the stored procedure, and in there have logic to UNION together all the possible results you want with a field for grouping the sections.
For example if they had a parameter for "Report Sections" and had selected "1, 2, 3", then you pass the parameter to the stored procedure; inside it uses a SplitString routine to convert the commas into a table format, and then constructing another temp table to hold the results. Everything is accumulated into there with a SectionNumber field (1, 2, 3, etc), and then the whole lot gets returned. Your group groups on that, with page break set, and that's it.
