I wish to have multi-row Column headers on a table, per this image:
I have tried this:
Inserting another table into the column header, so it is a nested table.
Result: second header row repeats for every Data row, because the nested table is also bound to the dataset.
Use separate tables, 1st for the headers(bound to a 1 record dataset) and 2nd for the data (which has no headers). Then just lined them up to look like one table.
Result: Does not carry the header across pages. Which is required.
I am using SSDT in Visual studio 2017 to build the report.
Is this possible?
Right click the existing header row and "Insert New Row" e.g.
Then select cells and use the "Merge Cells" for your first header row.

When you add a row group in a report, Visual Studio automatically adds a "Row Group Column", at the left, that results in a cell that spans for all the rows that conform the group:
(image)
Most of the time I delete those columns, and place a title in the row-group header, like this:

But now I have found that I need that Row-Group Column back.
Is there a way to re-create it without having to redesign all my table again?
I am creating report FetchXML report and using group on raw size.
my report look like
but I want group like
I would move the Raw Size to the Row Group header row(probably your blank first row below your table headings), then delete the first two columns. Then I would insert a row within the Row Group headers, below the Raw Size. Then I would copy the current column headings onto that row. Then I would delete the current column heading row. For those dynamic headings (eg. Tire Size / Kit Size, period columns) I would replace static text with expressions. Finally I would use the Add Totals command on the Total detail cell to create a sub-total row for the Raw Size Group, then add the other fields needed on that row.
I am creating a report in SSRS. I have a table showing the date and time the report was generated, it's a single column table with one expression =Now() and is not linked to any datasets.
The trouble I am having is that it returns 77 rows all with the exact same date. My main dataset returns 77 rows in a different table but that table is not linked to this one in any way.
How can I stop it from returning so many rows? The reason I'm using a table and not a text box is because I want it to have the same look and feel as other data presented in my report i.e. Header Row and Data Presented underneath. There are a few tables that use the same approach and all of them are returning duplicate rows. As you can see from the image below, I just need the first row from each table.
EDIT: Looks like SSRS automatically references a dataset when I insert a new table. When I change the table properties dataset to none it returns an error. Is there a way around this? I don't want data from any dataset, just want to use an simple expression =now()
As you've seen, a Tablix requires a DataSet, and when you only have one DataSet in a report it will link to this DataSet automatically in some circumstances.
You've mentioned you don't want to use Textboxes, but this does seem like the easiest option.
If you're set on using a Tablix for ease of formatting, to prevent any repeating rows just delete the Details group that gets set up by default when you create a Table through the designer:
This leaves a table with one header row only - you can add more header rows as required:
The result is a table that will only display the header rows once, i.e. no repeating rows.
You can add Summary data or individual fields from the DataSet to these header rows; if no aggregation is specified it will just take the first row by default.
I am using SQL Server Report Service and wanted to know if there is a way to display headers one per row on part of page while using the standard header in a group for the rest.
I have results from a surey that I need to display and most of the survey is Strongly Agree, Agree, Neutral, Disagree, Strongly Disagree. But the first two rows involves time periods like 7a-10a, 10a-1p, 1p-4p, 4p-7p, Saturday and locations and these need to have headers to show what they are.
I am now using two table to do this with the data for time and location on one to split headers per row and survey results on the other to split headers by group. The data from the SQL Server 2008 does have a Survey_Order column to seperate the two sets.
I can not find a way to get all of it on one table and if anyone has a suggestions how to display all of the data using one table on the SSRS?
Instead of displaying true "headers" for the header row you want repeated one per data row, you can add a second data row. Style it to look like headers. Then set the Row Visibility to only show the row when the question needs this second header row.
IN my SSRS project, I created two datasets that I want to use in the same layout.
In my layout, I added two tables. I drag columns from one dataset to one table, and they are all fine.
Then I drag columns from the 2nd dataset (same column names as those in the first dataset) to the 2nd table, and it becomes First(....) , as if it thinks I want only the first row of that dataset.
Why does it automatically add first(...) and more importantly,how do I refer to the same column names from different datasets in the same layout?
Random thoughts:
Where are the tables? In the body, header or footer?
Have you bound each table to the dataset (you can't mix and match columns in one table)?
That is, did you set one table up then copy/paste it?
I have reports with many tables each with a different data set with overlapping column names.
