I have been working on SSRS report which has following structure:
"Actual Values" section is a Row Group which is used for aggregation purposes.
"Problem" section is Detail group.
Report itself shows Actual and Expected values and if they are different associated value in "Actual Values" section should be colored to red (Value1, Value2, etc).
I have implemented SSRS report using this template, but I am struggling to color affected cells.
For Instance, for first aggregated row in "Actual Values" section - Value3 = 4 is present in "Problem" section as well so I would like to fill Value3 cell under "Actual Values" section using red color. Something like this which obviously won't work:
=IIF(Fields!Value3.Value = Fields!Actual Values.Value, "Tomato", "Transparent")
I have tried to use Lookup, but it works only for first match and covers only first aggregated row:
=IIF(Value3 = Lookup("Value3",Fields!BreakName.Value,Fields!AccountEntityId Values.Value,"DataSet"), "Tomato", "Transparent")
Basically I need to loop through every record in "Problem" section for each row in "Actual Values" section, compare values and change fill color to red if there is a match.
Could you please suggest if there is a way to achieve this?
You basically need the compare the expressions that you are currently using to display the data.
I'm assuming that the 'Problem' section is the detail section (not grouped) and that the 'Actual Values' section on the left is grouped and the group name is myRowGroup.
Next assumption for this answer is that the '4' in the last column has a simple expression of =Fields!myActualValue.Value. If this is a sum or anything else then you need to change the expression below accordingly.
Finally, I've assumed the expression for the '4' in the 3rd column is =SUM(Fields!myActualValue.Value)
Without seeing the design it's hard to give an exact answer but the expression should look something like .
=IIF(Fields!myActualValue.Value = SUM(Fields!myActualValue.Value, "myRowGroup"), "Tomato", Nothing)
This basically says "check the myActualValue in the current context (the detail row) and compare is to the sum of myActualValue within the context of of the current row group.
If this doesn't help, post your report design with the row groups shown and the results of the dataset that is used.

I am new to SSRS and have a SUM(IIF question.
My data set contains four columns: Date, GroupID, PlanPaid, and NetworkIndicator.
Here is an example of the data set:
I am trying to SUM the [PlanPaid] amount when [NetworkIndicator] = "In Network".
However, I need this amount broken up by the [Date]. I tried accomplishing this by creating the expression:
=Sum(IIf(Fields!NetworkIndicator.Value = "In Network"
, Fields!PlanPaid.Value
, Nothing)
, "Claims_Rolling12")
But this expression returns the same amount (total) across all [Dates]. How do I break it up so that it is grouped by the correct [Date]?
Here is a photo of my Tablix and my current Groups: [Tablix and Groups]
And here is a photo of the output: [Output]
You haven't said where you want this sum to appear, so the answer here might not work. If it doesn't then edit your question to show what you expect the output to look like based on your sample data.
I'm assuming here that you want to add a new column to the report that shows "In Network total" by date.
The easiest way to do this is to add a row group that groups by date, then within this group you can use a simple expression, like the one you tried, but without specifying the scope.
=SUM(IIF(Fields!NetworkIndicator.Value = "In Network", Fields!PaidPlan.Value, Nothing))
This expression will only sum rows that are within the current scope, in this case the scope will be the row group you created to group by dates.
As IO said, if this is not helpful, edit your question and show what you expect your end result to look like, based on the sample data you supplied and then I can look at it again.
I saw the post on WHERE clause in SSRS expression. I am also trying to do a where clause, but in a different way. I need to show ItemDesc when ItemId = 4. I set a parameter so that it will always equal 4 for this cell. Now I just need the matching description field. I cannot hard code it because the description may change one day. Is there a way to associate the two fields?
=IIF(Parameters!ItemID_4.Value = 4, Fields!ItemDesc.Value,"")
I am converting from Crystal Reports to SSRS. This first image is the output from CR. I only need to show that ItemDesc in that top left cell.
This next image is from SSRS. It is not limiting the descriptions. It seems to be doing what my expression is saying. ItemID = 4, so display all ItemDesc values but the two fields are not associated right now. I need it to only show the matching value.
Thank you for your help.
I cannot hard code it because the description may change one day.
You are hard coding the parameter anyway by trying to do it that way. I don't think you need a parameter to achieve the result unless you are restricted from adjusting the dataset query.
If you are using an embedded SQL query for your dataset, I would just put a filter in WHERE clause: WHERE ItemID = 4
Another way if you can't adjust the query is to go to Report Data view > Right click on the dataset for your table, "Dataset Properties" > go to the "Filters" tab and add a filter with these settings: Expression = ItemID, Operator = "=", Value = "4" (or "#ItemID" if you want to keep your parameter).
I have a table as shown below:
Table 1
I need to display data like below. I have tried using grouping but but i failed.
I have read some topics but can't find the solution. This should not be that hard.
Table 2
You can get that using LookupSet over a dumb group.
Add a tablix to your report and add a parent group in the Row Groups pane.
Use the below expression to create the group.
=1
That expression will create only one group, and you will have something like this in design.
Then use this expression in the highlighted cell in my screenshot above.
=join(
LookupSet(1,1,Fields!ColumnA.Value,"DataSetName")," - ")
Where Fields!ColumnA.Value is the field of X, Y and Z values, and DataSetName should be the name of your dataset.
You will get this result.
If you have repeated values in ColumnA they will appear repeated too in the cell. You will have to filter your dataset to get only unique values.
I have my report and data ready. The report is like i need to select a center name (Ex: Raleigh(0003) ) from the DDLB. and i will submit that. Now i will get the report for the Raleigh Center. Here, i need to see the text on the top of the report like "Weather Report for Raleigh (0003)" as a header. Whenever i select a different center, it should automatically display that particular center on the top of the report.
I tried to add the table, give the column (CENTER_ID) from the data set and in the expression, i gave like --> ="Weather details:"& Fields!CENTER_ID.Value &" - " & Fields!CENTER_NAME.Value. Here is the issue, it's either displaying all of the centers row by row or displaying a particular center name irrespective of the selection. Please help me out as it is very important.
Thanks.
When you select a center from the drop down - it is populating a parameter that you must then be using either to filter the query or to filter the table. Depending on how many rows the full query returns it might be better to do one or the other, e.g. if there are 1000's of rows you should filter the query, not the tablix. If it's not many rows then it's fine to filterthe tablix.
If the parameter is called #center then you could use this formula in your header:
="Weather details: "& Parameters!center.value
This assumes that your paramater is "text" type. If it is numeric or a date then you might have to convert it to a string first using CStr().
="Weather details: "& CStr(Parameters!center.value)
The reason it was showing you a "particular center name irrespective of the selection" is because you were telling it to put a dataset column (many rows) into a single cell. That will force it to always display the value in the first row, or if you are putting it in a details row in the tablix it will output every single value.
If you filter the query rather than the tablix, you could reliably use this:
="Weather details:"& First(Fields!CENTER_ID.Value,"datasetname") &" - " & First(Fields!CENTER_NAME.Value,"datasetname")
because the first() function will return a single value from the first row of the dataset.
My application uses SSRS to produce payslips for employees. The Payslip report consists of a tablix with 5 columns. Among the 5, is a column called "Units" and another called "Invoice value".
The report has several Row Grouping levels, but the only important one for this question is the Payslip Number Row Grouping "RG_SlipNum". There is a page break after each "RG_SlipNum" RowGroup.
When users want to print Payslips, they can optionally supply up to 5 parameters which filter the result set to print out.
Employees can be paid based on the number of units delivered * a rate (Unit Based), or by a percentage of the invoice value (Invoice based) for the delivery (Oversimplified, but hopefully, you get my drift).
If the employee is Unit based I want the Units Column to Show, and the "Invoice Value" Column to be hidden. If they are Invoice based I want both columns to show.
My dataset has a bit field indicating whether to show or hide a column based on the logic above. It will be a 1 or a 0 for every underlying row within the current rowGroup. I have tried to use the First(,) function in a Column Visibility expression on the "Invoice Value" Column. However, I get the following error whenever I try to limit the scope of the First Function to the current Payslip Rowgroup using the RowGroup name.
"The Hidden expression for the tablix 'X' has a scope parameter that is not valid for an aggregate function. The scope parameter must be set to a string constant that is equal to either the name of a containing group, the name of a containing data region, or the name of a dataset. "
So, my Question(s)
Can you define a RowGroup name as the Scope argument in a First() function?
If not, What's the best way of achieving this without completely re-working my Dataset / RDL to accomplish this. (Using SSRS2008)
Why is it always just after posting a forum question, you figure it (or some workaround) out?
I'd still like some (better) answers if anyone sees this, but I've set a cell in the tablix to the value of the bit field that determines whether to show the column or not. I then changed my Column Visibility expression to check the cell value (using ReportItems!textboxname.Value) and it's working. as I scroll the payslips the columns visibility changes appropriately.
