I'm looking to develop a SSRS report which gets data from two different datasets (unrelated). Then i have two tablix placed horizontally side by side.
The data in each table can vary on rows, and the client wants to align the specific row (which may not be last Row) in both the tables.
Is there a way to achieve this layout just using expressions? I tried to write a custom code to somewhat achieve the behavior but we are deploying this report to D365 online and there the custom code is not supported in sandbox environment.
if someone has any suggestion which gives me an idea on how to achieve such layout, it would be very much appreciated.
Table A Table B
╔═══════╦══════╗ ╔═══════╦══════╗
║ Col1 ║ Col2 ║ ║ Col1 ║ Col2 ║
╠═══════╬══════╣ ╠═══════╬══════╣
║ A1 ║ A ║ ║ B1 ║ X ║

║ A5 ║ A ║ ║ B4 ║ B ║
╚═══════╩══════╝ ╚═══════╩══════╝
I think you can achieve this by using the LookupSet function in SSRS.
Add a couple of columns to the end of Table A and use the LookupSet function to source the rest of the values..
something like this: (assuming your data set for table B is called DatasetTableB
=LookupSet(Fields!Col1.Value, Fields!Col1.Value, Fields!Col2.value, "DatasetTableB")
You would do the same for the rest of the columns and get the other values.. where Column1 matches, you get the values.. the rest will be blank

I want to know how to connect MySQL Tables I will give a example so you guys can understand my question.
Page Table
(Use to echo the NavBar Items and )
╔════╦══════════════╦═══════╦═════════════════╗
║ ID ║ Name ║ Type ║ Background Image║
╠════╬══════════════╬═══════╬═════════════════╣
║ 1 ║ Home ║ home ║ --------------- ║
║ 2 ║ AboutUs ║ blank ║---------------- ║
║ 3 ║ Services ║ slider║--------------- ║
║ 4 ║ Contacts ║ blank ║---------------- ║
╚════╩══════════════╩═══════╩═════════════════╝
But there is a thing, we can have multiple pages with same type of page (blank,sldier ect...)
At slider we have 2 tables with information.
Slider Settings
(Use to control the number of slider on a certain ID page)
╔════╦══════════════╗
║ ID ║ Num_Slides ║
╠════╬══════════════╬
║ 3 ║ 4 ║
╚════╩══════════════╝
I want to know if theres anyway to connect this db (not physicly)
Are you trying to do just a join, something like this?
select * from page_table, slider_settings where page_table.id = slider_settings.id and page_table.type='slider';
Okay so basically I am trying to run a simple query with a subquery on phpmyadmin using mysql and it won't stop loading after I run it. The query is:
SELECT t.tagValue FROM tags t WHERE t.tagID IN (SELECT ua.tagID FROM user_taggedArtists ua WHERE ua.userID = 2);
I have ran the individual queries on their own without combining them together and they seem to do what I want, but when I mix them into a subquery form phpmyadmin just loads forever, like I am getting an infinite loop or something.
tags table looks like that:
╔═══════╦═════════════╗
║ tagID ║ tagValue ║
╠═══════╬═════════════╣
║ 1 ║ metal ║
║ 2 ║ alternative ║
║ 3 ║ pop ║
╚═══════╩═════════════╝
etc.
user_taggedArtists table looks like this:
╔════════╦══════════╦═══════╦═════╦═══════╦═══════╗
║ userID ║ artistID ║ tagID ║ day ║ month ║ year ║
╠════════╬══════════╬═══════╬═════╬═══════╬═══════╣
║ 2 ║ 52 ║ 1 ║ 1 ║ 4 ║ 2009 ║
║ 2 ║ 52 ║ 1 ║ 1 ║ 4 ║ 2009 ║
║ 2 ║ 52 ║ 1 ║ 1 ║ 4 ║ 2009 ║
╚════════╩══════════╩═══════╩═════╩═══════╩═══════╝
ect.
Not sure what I am doing wrong here and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
Hard to say 'zatly, but "IN", generally, is slow. Try a JOIN and WHERE. I'm going to pretend we can join on tagID. You should have indexes on the join column(s). If not anything you do will perform poorly.
SELECT t.tagValue
FROM tags t
INNER JOIN user_taggedArtists ua ON
t.tagID = ua.tagID
WHERE ua.userID = 2
I'm not sure if I worded this properly. It's a lot easier to show. So without doing a subreport, is there any way to have the non-grouped data inside of grouped data.
╔════╦══════════════╦══════════════╦════════════╗
║ ID ║ Cars ║ Name ║ Date ║
╠════╬══════════════╬══════════════╬════════════╣
║ 1 ║ 2011 Chevy ║ John D ║ 1/1/2013 ║
║ ║ 2012 Ford ║ ║ ║
║ 2 ║ 2010 Pontiac ║ Jane D ║ 1/1/2012 ║
║ 3 ║ 1969 Chevy ║ Bob H ║ 12/1/2011 ║
║ ║ 1930 Ford ║ ║ ║

Cars is not grouped. So there is 1:N relationship there with all the other data.
What I know you can do and have done is have the "Cars" all the way to the right and have it be ID, Name, Date, Cars but I cant seem how to get the cars in the middle of all of the grouped data columns. I know a subreport is "possible" but wondered if I am just missing the obvious
It's a hack, but I do it all the time:
You can embed a table in the Cars cell. You just need 1 Details cell on your embedded table (get rid of the headers and the extra columns that are auto added), and have it list your cars. It will only list the cars that are related to the value in column 1 on each row of the parent table, and should probably end up looking like your example above.
My table has a list of users with Items associated to them. I hope to be able to consolidate the items field into a list or create another column if the row has a matching User/email.
I have the following structure with in the MySQL table:
╔═══════════╦═════════════╦═════════════╦═════════════╦═════════════╦════════════╗
║ ID ║ User_ID ║ Item ║ Date ║ User ║ Email ║
╠═══════════╬═════════════╬═════════════╬═════════════╬═════════════╬════════════╣
║ 1 ║ 1 ║ Laptop 1 ║ 30th Nov ║ John ║ J#test.com ║
║ 2 ║ 2 ║ Laptop 3 ║ 12th Nov ║ Emma ║ e#test.com ║
║ 3 ║ 2 ║ Camera 3 ║ 12th Nov ║ Emma ║ e#test.com ║

I am very new to SQL but i think i would need to use some type of transpose field to a column function?
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Thanks
I think you want group_concat(). Personally, I would use user_id, rather than user/email. or, perhaps all three together. Something like this:
select user_id, user, email, group_concat(item) as items
from table t
group by user_id, user, email;
I have two tables:
╔════════════════╗ ╔════════════════╗
║ ITEM ║ ║ ITEM_TRACK ║
╠════════════════╣ ╠════════════════╣
║ ID ║ ║ ID ║
║ GUID ║ ║ ITEM_GUID ║
║ COUNT1 ║ ║ CONTEXT ║
║ ENDDATE ║ ║ ║
╚════════════════╝ ╚════════════════╝
╔═════╦══════╦════════╗ ╔═════╦═══════════╦══════════╗
║ ID ║ GUID ║ COUNT1 ║ ║ ID ║ ITEM_GUID ║ CONTEXT ║
╠═════╬══════╬════════╣ ╠═════╬═══════════╬══════════╣
║ 1 ║ aaa ║ ║ ║ 1 ║ abc ║ ITEM ║
║ 2 ║ bbb ║ ║ ║ 2 ║ aaa ║ PAGE ║
║ 3 ║ ccc ║ ║ ║ 3 ║ bbb ║ ITEM ║
║ 4 ║ abc ║ ║ ║ 4 ║ ccc ║ ITEM ║
╚═════╩══════╩════════╝ ║ 5 ║ abc ║ ITEM ║
║ 6 ║ aaa ║ ITEM ║
║ 7 ║ abc ║ ITEM ║
║ 8 ║ ccc ║ PAGE ║
╚═════╩═══════════╩══════════╝
What I'm trying to do is fill in the COUNT1 column in ITEM with the count of the number of times ITEM_GUID appears in ITEM_TRACK for all ITEM.GUIDs where ENDDATE is still in the future. I need to do this once an hour for all GUIDS in ITEM.
I can get the counts I need easily
SELECT ITEM_GUID, COUNT(*) from ITEM_TRACK GROUP BY ITEM_GUID;
What I don't know how to do is, how do I merge this with an INSERT INTO statement to automatically update all the items in the items table with the count based on their ENDDATE?
UPDATE:
I have a working solution based on Aquillo's answer:
UPDATE ITEM a
SET COUNT1 = (SELECT COUNT(*) AS total FROM ITEM_TRACK b WHERE b.item_guid=a.guid);
Is there any other way to do this without a subquery?
You can insert from a select like this:
INSERT INTO myTable (foreignKey, countColumn) VALUES
SELECT ITEM_GUID, COUNT(*) from ITEM_TRACK GROUP BY ITEM_GUID;
In case you want to update, try something like this:
UPDATE from SELECT using SQL Server
If you use INSERT INTO you'll put additional rows in your ITEM table, not update the existing ones. If this is what you meant then that's great, but if you want to update the existing ones, you'll need to use update. You do this by joining the table you want to update with the table you want to update from. However, in your case you want to update from an aggregation and so you need to create a table with the aggregated values. Try this:
UPDATE ITEM SET Count1 = temp.total
FROM Item
INNER JOIN (
SELECT ITEM_GUID, COUNT(*) AS total
FROM ITEM_TRACK
GROUP BY ID) AS temp
ON Item.GUID = temp.ITEM_GUID
WHERE ENDDATE > NOW()
I've tried this on SQL Server (using GETDATE() instead of NOW()) to double check and it worked, I think it should work on MYSQL.
