I have a normal report like the below one,
Animal
Dog
Cat
Elephant
Tiger
Lion
Man
Panda
Which i want to do a break after n number of columns.
Animal Animal
Dog Cat
Elephant Tiger
Lion Man
Panda
I tried the page break which breaks into a new page. Did some grouping etc.. still didn't work out. Is there a way in SSRS to work this out. I know how to do it via SQL, iam asking about doing it via SSRS.
Edit:
I have used the below query in SSRS.
SELECT 610 AS [Period],1 AS RowNumber
UNION
select 611, 2
UNION
select 612, 3
UNION
select 613, 4
UNION
select 614, 5
UNION
select 615, 6
UNION
select 616, 7
UNION
select 617, 8
I added a new Matrix table, then i added 'Period' field to the matrix table (Screenshot Num 1). In the column grouping expression. i have used the below expressions. One at a time
=Floor(Fields!RowNumber.Value / 3) and =Fields!RowNumber.Value Mod 3
but now it shows only 3 columns now.
What i have expected to see is (Screenshot Num 3) and what iam getting is (Screenshot Num 2).
Screenshot:
You can't use SSRS aggregate functions like RowNumber in grouping expressions or dataset calculated fields. So you would need to add a number to your rows in the SQL. I would recommend using ROW_NUMBER for this. You could also use a RANK function. You don't have to partition by anything, just give it something to sort by and you're good to go.
Then in the report, you can use a column grouping expression like this to get 5 rows per column:
=Floor(Fields!RowNumber.Value / 5)
To use a specific number of columns you could use an expression like this:
=Fields!RowNumber.Value Mod 5

I need to create a report which is something similar to a Pivot Table.
The report would be something like below, with more towns
I C S Total
Town1 1 2 3 6
Town2 7 1 1 9
Town3 2 3 1 6
Total 10 6 5 21
In Crystal reports, there is an integrated function called Cross table
(see pictures below)
I'm looking for a similar function in SSRS, if there is any. I parsed the internet but I could not find anything that is relevant
Thanks!
You need a matrix to do so
Select the row, once the matrix created, like the image below and click on the row group and look at the group properties
You then choose the row for which you want to do the grouping like the image below
Repeat the operations for the column group.
You will need to add additional row and columns for the total.
I will do that for the row. You click the row to highlight it and then click on insert rows. You then choose Outside group below like in the picture below
Repeat the operations for the column group.
To have total, please put the following formula in your row and column created outside of the group SUM(COUNT(Fields!name_of_your_field.Value)) and you have the double entry table.
Let me know through the comments if you have any issues, I'll happy to help.
I have searched all over and cannot seem to find a definitive answer for this issue! I have a simple chat here grouped on the 5 categories below detailing the Sums of their SqFt.
I want to add a Total Column to the graph ~(Total = 11M sqft). Can this only be done in SQL? It is a bit puzzling for me to do this because the query already sums the sqft for each row (as a nested query). I would need to Sum(sum(sqft)) in order to produce what I want, however, I dont believe this will work on the group level.
Sample Data set:
ID| Type| Sqft|
12| OF| 500
14| IN| 1294
99| OF| 12042
24| ME| 92043
15| IN| 13945
16| OW| 2650
Can this be done in the report builder?
Thanks!
You can add a Total row in your query by using GROUPING SETS operator. Once the total is in the dataset it is trivial to show the column in the chart.
Based on the data sample you posted you can use a similar query to the below:
SELECT
CASE
WHEN GROUPING_ID(Type) = 1 THEN 'TOTAL'
ELSE Type
END [Type],
SUM(Sqft) Sqft,
GROUPING_ID(Type) [Grouping]
FROM your_table
GROUP BY GROUPING SETS ((Type), ())
Check this Live Demo
If you are confused by the above query you can simply use the union operator to add a row to the end of your current dataset.
SELECT
ID,
[Type],
Sqft
FROM your_table
UNION ALL
SELECT
NULL,
'Total',
SUM(Sqft)
FROM your_table
Now just create your chart using the produced dataset.
Let me know if this helps.
I want to run a union query on qry_1 in C:\DB\DB1.mdb and qry_2 in C:\DB\DB2.mdb
All examples I have seen only show how to run a Union Query on query's in the same database, how can you do this when the query's are in different databases?
EDIT ---
Grr, not quite displaying results like I was after. That shows each entry twice. Is there a way to only show the entry one time? For example if qry_1 returns Joe 14, Jack 16, Jimmy 12 and qry_2 returns Joe 22, Jack 48, Jimmy 66 is there a way to SUM those results in the UNION Query?
I tried changing the syntax to a group by like so, but didn't work:
Select Name, Count FROM [C:\DB\DB1.mdb].qry_1
UNION ALL
SELECT Name, Count FROM [C:\DB\DB2.mdb].qry_2
GROUP BY Name, Count
For your case nothing changed, use:
SELECT * FROM [C:\DB\DB1.mdb].qry_1
UNION ALL
SELECT * FROM [C:\DB\DB2.mdb].qry_2
UPD: To SUM them i would recommend GROUP BY. Let's say we saved upper query as qry_U then try smth like this:
SELECT [Name], SUM([Numbers]) FROM [qry_U] GROUP BY [Name]
I have a table in a SSRS report that is displaying only a group, not the table details. I want to find out the row number for the items that are being displayed so that I can use color banding. I tried using "Rowcount(Nothing)", but instead I get the row number of the detail table.
My underlying data is something like
ROwId Team Fan
1 Yankees John
2 Yankees Russ
3 Red Socks Mark
4 Red Socks Mary
...
8 Orioles Elliot
...
29 Dodgers Jim
...
43 Giants Harry
My table showing only the groups looks like this:
ROwId Team
2 Yankees
3 Red Socks
8 Orioles
29 Dodgers
43 Giants
I want it to look like
ROwId Team
1 Yankees
2 Red Socks
3 Orioles
4 Dodgers
5 Giants
You can do this with a RunningValue expression, something like:
=RunningValue(Fields!Team.Value, CountDistinct, "DataSet1")
DataSet1 being the name of the underlying dataset.
Consider the data:
Creating a simple report and comparing the RowNumber and RunningValue approaches shows that RunningValue gives your required results:
You can easily achieve this with a little bit of vbcode. Go to Report - Properties - code and type something like:
Dim rownumber = 0
Function writeRow()
rownumber = rownumber + 1
return rownumber
End Function
Then on your cell, call this function by using =Code.writeRow()
As soon as you start using groups inside the tables, the RowNumber and RunningGroup functions start getting some weird behaviours, thus it's easier to just write a bit of code to do what you want.
I am not convinced all suggestions above provide are a one for all solution. My scenario is I have a grouping that has has multiple columns. I could not use the agreed solution RunningValue because I don't have a single column to use in the function unless I combine (say a computed column) them all to make single unique column.
I could not use the VBA code function as is for the same reason and I had to use the same value across multiple columns and multiple properties for that matter unless I use some other kind of smarts where if I knew the number of uses (say N columns * M properties) then I could only update the RowNumber on every NxM calls however, I could not see any count columns function so if I added a column I would also need to increase my N constant. I also did not want to add a new column as also suggested to my grouping as I could not figure out how to hide it and I could not write a vba system where I could call function A that returns nothing but updates the value (i.e. called only once per group row) then call another function GetRowNumber which simply returns the rownumber variable because the colouring was done before the call so I always had one column out of sync to the rest.
My only other 2 solutions I could think of is put the combined column as mentioned earlier in the query itself or use DENSE_RANK and sort on all group columns, i.e.
DENSE_RANK() OVER (ORDER BY GroupCol1, GroupCol2, ...) AS RowNumber
In SSRS 2005 I am reporting on all available posts by regional office, listed by region,office,vacancyID.
I then display a total per office on how many people started in a particular vacancyID by doing a Count(VacancyStartID).
In the same group row with the Count(VacancyStartID) I need to display SUM(VacancyID).
However at present this does not give the correct SUM, because some vacancies have multiple VacancyStartID's and hence the vacancyID is listed few times, like so:
office vacancyID Number_of_vacancies VacancyStartID (person who started a job)
1 1 2 4567
1 1 2 5678
Totals: 4 (needs to be 2) 2
P.S. Note:These questions are not applicable in this instance:
How can I remove duplicate rows?
How do I remove "duplicate" rows from a view?
Using multiple COUNTs and SUMs in a single SQL statement
If it's in the Underlying SQL Server call...
You can do ...SUM(DISTINCT VacancyID)... like you can COUNT (DISTINCT ..)
Edit:
SELECT
col1, col2, SUM(DISTINCT Number_of_vacancies) as foo, COUNT (VacancyStartID) as bar
FROM
MyView
...
If it's in the table or for a cell in the report, then there is no equivalent in the SSRS SUM function.
Do some grouping already in your query and then make a group with a simple Count in SSRS.
