a quick question , I've not been able to find an answer on the internet. I've 3 report tables on 1 Dataset , 2 of these reports are hidden and the only reason they exist is to display data on a chart.
The problem is that I can't create the chart using either one of these hidden tablix reports as a source , the chart is pulling the data from the first tablix report added to the Dataset which is not hidden.
I need to create a chart for each of the highlithed tablix report tables
This is not possible in SSRS that a tablix is your datasource for a chart. The datasource of your chart can only be a dataset. Also a tablix datasource can only be a dataset. Under Chart properties > Dataset name you will find only datasets in the drop down. You have to edit your query the way you need it for your chart.
You have this option in Power BI. There you can import your dataset in a table, edit this table as often as you want and use the end table as your chart datasource.

I have absolutely no experience working with rdl files and I received a ticket from a client asking us to display multiple reports in one report. What I have done so far is created a master rdl file that contains a sub-report. That subreport is linked to another rdl file which is the actual report that is normally generated. What I want to do is generate a list of those subreports based on the data received in an array from a query. So if there are 6 elements in the array then I need to have 6 subreports generated, with each report using data from the appropriate index in the array.
I managed to figure out how to connect the data for one subreport but I have no idea how to scale that programatically.
The basic steps are
Create a subreport that accepts parameters (done I guess)
Create a master report (done)
Create a dataset in your master report that contains a row of data for each subreport. For example. If you subreport showed employee details for a single employee, your main report might contain a dataset that lists employee IDs for a department.
Add a tablix to your main report, remove header row and leave only a single column. Stretch this column to fit your report width
Set the datasetname property of the tablix to the name of your dataset, (now it will produce one row per employee)
Right click the tablix cell and insert subreport
Right click the subreport placeholder -> properties then choose your subreport form the drop down.
Set the subreport parameter(s) to be the values from your dataset (e.g. EmployeeID = empID)
That's it.
You main report will run, the tablix will create a row per record in your dataset, this in turn will give you a subreport per row in your dataset, each of those subreports will have the value of the field from that row passed to it.
If you need more help, I'll try to track down a similar answer I posted a while back which had more detail.
I am converting a chart report from Crystal to SSRS. In Crystal the chart is in a group header, so I defined it once and for each new group. When the report is run the chart is printed once for each group. How do I do the same in SSRS. SSRS will not allow me to drag a field to the row groups or column groups area. Or do I have to copy the chart for each group in the data?
Thanks in advance

To repeat a chart for different groups, use a LIST to do the overall grouping and put your chart or table inside it.
Here I have a table of data that I wanted to break up by location.
I created a List to group by location and put the table inside. Notice the grouping bracket on the left side of the tables. The LIST groups everything.
You would set the list dataset to the same as your data and group on the field(s) for your grouping.

I have the requirement to generate chart in SSRS 2008 and clicking on specific region of chart I need to generate sub report. I am already done with pie chart and the report but not able to generate the sub-report dynamically
I need to generate different reports when I click on different bars in bar graph
can anyone help with that
A Subreport is a report already embedded in the report.
I think what you want is actually a Drill Through report where you click on an item and a new report pops up showing you the detail of whatever data you just clicked on.
You'll need to create a new report with a table. If your query has the detail you need, you can re-use the same query otherwise you need to create a query to show the detail you want.
You'll need to a parameter to filter for the value you select from your chart. Your chart says Emp_ID but I am guessing that's just a count and you really want the text from the X axis (i.e. Deliver Client projects... ) - your employee's Experience.
When you've created the drill through report with the parameter for the field, go back to the main report and add an ACTION. Specify your new drill through report, Add the parameter by selecting it in the Name drop down and select the field you want to get the value from (the category Group field from the bar chart).
Now when you click on a bar, your new subreport will open with the detail filtered by the field you click on. If you click on the bar for Delivered Client Projects and proficient, your new report with a table of the 31 employees will appear.

You need to have already made the sub-reports and set your chart elements to load that report on their click through properties - You cannot simply generate a report by clicking on a report element.
If you want to go to different reports depending on data behind the pie chart section that is clicked on, you can set that up either in your original dataset with a column for which report to load or you can add a switch statement in the expression for the address of the report to load. To handle your parameters, this is probably easiest done with URL addressing.
I have a tablix that contains a LookUpSet for a Site
=Join(Lookupset(Fields!VCC_MSID.Value,
Fields!VCC_MS.Value,
Fields!Site.Value,
"Agents"))
but the dataset used for this tablix does not contain the site value (which is the SQL Query). I need to create a chart based on site, but I don't have a way of using the dataset with the Site included in it.
Is it possible to develop a chart along with a table as a single control in SSRS?
If possible can somebody tell me how to get it? I mean what type of chart we need to select and all.
Thank you
You can do this simply by adding a DataSet to your report that includes all the data required for your chart and your report. Add a Chart control to your report and point the datasource to your dataset. You can use the chart wizard to choose the chart type. Then add a table control to your report and point it to the same dataset. I hope this helps.

You can place chart objects in a table (or list, matrix, etc).
This way you could, for example, display a chart at the end of the detail rows for each grouping.
