For an SSRS report (Visual Studio 2015), how does one add a group (for visual effect) to an existing rdl file? I already have "group by" in my .SQL query, but I am referring to a tablix group? [My underlying SQL system that the SSRS gets data from is 2008 r2]
You will have a tablix or a matrix on your RDL.. it's as simple as right clicking on your details line and adding a group.. many ways to skin a cat.. bottom of designer you will have the Row Group and Column Group windows.. you can add / create Groups there as well.. same thing

OK I've come across something that baffles me.
I've downloaded SSDT for Visual Studio 2017, version 15.5.2
I'm creating new .rdls. I use Reports --> Add --> New Item for Reports.
Have my DataSource and Dataset created, no problem. i use an existing stored proc to retrieve, and it's no problem.
But i cant' figure out why there is no DETAIL band. I mean, any item that is retrieved, is First(columnname) for a string column, or Sum(columnname) for a numeric column, etc. Why on earth can i not just have a detail row, for all the columns i select? Not having a detail band really defeats the purpose of a report in the first place. I can have a page header/footer for summarizations and such.
So do i need to use the Report Wizard instead? The wizard does not seem to allow me to select a stored proc, so that seems useless to me as well.
Why is there no Detail band when i create a report? i thought that was standard when creating a new report, when i used SSRS in the past.
Presuming you have placed a tablix or a matrix on the design window, Right click on the tablix.. select Tablix Properties and then set the Data set Name to your actual dataset in that window. You should now be able to select the columns as required.
Could anybody explain me the difference between Linked reports and drill through reports in ssrs (version 2012)..
Been through several videos and a bit confused as in terms of functionality both look similar...linking one report to the other(parent-child) by passing a parameter from one to the other..
So what's the difference.. whether or not functionality-wise or just in terms of a business requirement..?
Drill Through Reports: The word "drill-through" indicates that we can drill into a specific value on one report for getting additional information from another report. For example, consider a scenario where you have two reports like Orders and Order Details. The Orders report has a list of all orders with OrderIDs and the OrderItems report is a separate report which displays the details of an orderID which is passed as a parameter to the report. You can set up these reports in such a way that when you click on the OrderID value of the Orders report, you can pass this ID value to OrderDetails and open this report to see the details of this order.
This is how drill-through report work. The two report can be different or same reports and they are not dependent on each other.
Linked Reports: Linked reports are usually created from a report manager only. Linked reports are not developed from BIDS or Visual Studio. Hence, they do not have a .rdl file. Linked reports are usually created from a parent/base report. The base report may have multiple parameters. When you create a linked report, you can create a separate report from the base report with fixed parameter values.When you make changes on the report design on the base report, the same changes are automatically applied to the linked reports also.
I am using SSRS to create report. I have created one drilldown report using matrix. it is having row groups and one column group in matrix. when i am running the report in SSDT there is not extra row is showing in grouping.
SSDT Design and Report Output:
Same report when i am exporting into Excel it is showing some extra row on each row group (Highlighted in Yellow).
Excel Output
I have tried with all possible grouping steps, but not able to hide these extra rows in Excel export.
Can anybody help me to fix this.
I have an SSRS 2005 report that appears normal in SSRS; however, a duplicate set of rows is added below the second row grouping when exported to Excel 2007.
I am not all that familiar with the more advanced reporting techniques in SSRS 2005, and am struggling to find the right answer. Is there any way to remove this?

It looks as though your report matrix is grouped by Year, Staff Category, Name and Office. If there is never more than one Office per Name, then the solution is:
remove the grouping on Office (this should also remove the Office column);
insert a new column to the right of the Name column, with the new column heading set to Office and the corresponding row value expression set to =Fields!Office.Value. (Don't drag and drop the column from the dataset, or you may inadvertently add a grouping on Office to the matrix.)
I am trying to convert a crystal report to SSRS report manually. In crystal report, grouping is done as shown in the below screen shot [that has header name as' report header'].
Group Name-->and some rows below it.
Is it possible to get similar grouping in SSRS reports. From what I see, grouping is done on columns is SSRS. For ex, see second screen shot[without any header name].
Question:1. Is it possible to get similar grouping in SSRS as it is in crystal.
2.In crystal report, on left side preview, if I click on group name particular group is getting selected. Even if that group is on another, that page becomes visible. Is this functionality possible in SSRS.
Please share the information. Im using SSRS 2008.
Is it possible to get similar grouping in SSRS as it is in crystal.
Yes: not difficult at all. Insert rows for the group headers. One way to do this: when editing the tablix, right click on the subgroup ("Details," for example) in the "Row Groups" portion of the designer window, and select "Add Total -> Before." This gives you the row you want for the group titles. Next delete the columns you want to remove.
2.In crystal report, on left side preview, if I click on group name particular group is getting selected. Even if that group is on another, that page becomes visible. Is this functionality possible in SSRS.
Yes, in SSRS this is called the Document Map.
