I have a tablix with a header and a data row. The grouping is for data row only. No page breaks applied for group instances.
The problem I'm facing is that the header row is getting repeated for every group instance. every group instance is getting printed in a different table.

Currently I'm creating a report with multiple Tablixes. Each Tablix shows the same information as the other Tablixes, filtered on a different group.
So, Group 1 has a Tablix, Group 2 has a Tablix, Group 3 has a Tablix, etc.
Now, the amount of groups will grow over time, with yet unknown names/identifiers.
What I'm trying to achieve is that when a new group gets added, a new Tablix is automatically added to the report as well.
Is this in any way possible? Or should I manually expand the report when such a group is added?
I was thinking about using a parameter that counts the amount of groups, then creates that many columns in a Tablix, and have the column automatically populate with another Tablix, but I believe it's not possible to have a Tablix with a fluid number of rows within another Tablix.

I am creating a report in SSRS to show evaluation scores. It has three sections, and I need to link them all together on the PreceptorID field (2108 in this case). The top two sections are from the same query. I am filtering the results in each one to separate the counts because they have different column names. The third section is a subreport showing comments from evaluators. It also has the PreceptorID field in the data but is not displaying it. It has two parameters that should be populated by the main report query, but that does not appear to be happening. The report is returning all comments instead of only the ones with the matching PreceptorID.
This first image is from Crystal Reports showing how the finished product should look.
This is what I am getting from SSRS. It is showing counts for multiple people at the top. The counts in the middle are actually correct. They are all for the one person. The next person's counts are on the next page. The comments at the bottom are also not filtering on the one PreceptorID.
This image showing the subreport parameter that should be linking it back to the main query.
How can I tell all three sections to only return data for the same person on one page, and another person on the next page?
I would redesign the report structure slightly. This is only my personal preference, there are several ways to achieve this but I find this way easier to manage and maintain.
You'll need two subreports and a master report.
You already have the 2nd subreport so no extra work required there.
I would take you current report, strip out the link to the current subreport and change it so it only processes a single person (just like your existing sub report).
So SubReport1 will have the two tables from your current main report only. It will only accept a single person as a parameter (or pair of parameters in your case)
SubReport2 will be your current subreport. Again it only accepts a single person.
Next create a new report. This will be the master report.
Add a dataset that contains just enough info for list of people you want to report over. So the dataset query might be as simple as
SELECT PreceptorID, ClerkshipID FROM myTable ORDER BY PreceptorID
Add a table to this report and set it's dataset property to the dataset you just created.
Change the default (details) row group to group and order by whatever makes each record unique (maybe both the two columns listed above, may only one will be required, only you will know this).
Right-Click on the row header to the left of your table and do "Insert Row => Inside Group Below".
Remove all but one column
You should now have a table with 2 rows per group.
Right click the top cell in the group and do "Insert => Subreport", go to the subreport properties and point this to SubReport1 (or whatever you called it) and set the parameters has you have done previously.
Repeat this for second row, this time pointing to your second subreport.
In the row group properties, set page breaks to "Between each instance"
That should be it. This was done from memory so might not be 100% but based on the info in your question you should be able to work it out from here.
Things to check if this is not working
Open each subreport and test it by passing in parameters manually. Each subreport should only be returning data for a single person.
The master report should have a dataset that returns each person once i.e. if there are 10 people in total this dataset should only contain 10 rows.
The table in the master report should contain only two rows
Both rows must be EITHER within the same row group, or, if you have no other row groups, they will both be in the detail row group.
The report design should look something like this if you have a row group by person
or like this if you only have detail rows.
Finally, make sure the parameters you pass to your subreports are the Field values from your master report's dataset, NOT your master reports parameters.
Currently I am upgrading a crystal report as an SSRS format. But this report has been tricky in which it has multiple group headers that have sub headers and data associated to them.
I have been researching for about an hour or so attempting different solutions to replicate the report and the solution that I thought would work below seems to be close but I can't get the fields to be a stepped as how it is in the crystal report where the rows are stacked neatly with data presented for each row.
Solution found online that is pretty close but does not have a result of data stepped:
Insert Table
First field make a parent row group and have "add group header" checked
Right click on parent field just created and select to insert "new row outside below"
Drag over sub field name
With data fields needing to be present under sub field I added those as child fields
Images of my work:
After some trials runs I finally figured out the setup:
Insert Table
Right click on "Details" in row groups
Add parent group of you first header row in your report (mine was scheduled ship date)
Right click details and add another parent for your second header row as so its above "Details" but below your first parent group
Now things may look strange since you have two columns with your parents
Now what you want to do is have only one column in your table that consists of three rows
What you will now do is copy the bracket values for instance [sch_ship_date] over to the column and do the same for the second parent group
Once that is done you will delete the first two columns since they were extra created during the adding parent groups process
So now you should only have one table that contains your two parent groups in order and an empty details field (your third row)
Now since the groups are embedded technically you will delete the values in the fields but do not delete the groups you added.
After there are no values in your table but you still have three rows you will insert a rectangle for each row. Each rectangle will be a place holder for your data set fields.
For the fields your data set fields you want to set there properties as "keep contents together on a single page"
I am trying to repeat the table data for showing 2 list based on in-out time. So I have copy-paste the table and applied filter function based on in-out time to single dataset. I can view two table in report output as it is but when exporting to PDF table gets overlapped on each other. Also filter seems to get applied to only one table.
How we can tackle PDF export issue?
What are best way to repeat table using single dataset?
Insert a list into the report.
If you can group the row group on something that will generate two rows then brilliant - you will only need one tablix in the list.
If that is not possible, group the row group on 1. Then insert a new row group adjacent below, also grouped on 1. On the new row that has appeared in the list, insert a new rectangle. Now you can past a copy of the tablix into each rectangle, and page break on the row groups instead of the tables.
The groups & rectangles will prevent overlapping when exporting to PDF.
I am trying to generate a report that has 2 lines per record(or row) returned by the query. Simply the first row will hold certain fields but before it returns the next row/record..it generates a subrow as you may call it that holds an additional field. Is this possible? I have another idea of doing this and it would be to just add the extra field on the end of the row and wrap the row to fit on the page thus making it appear 2 lines per record/row returned.
I'm a total noob when it comes to using tablix and these reports so details would be great!
In the report designer, right-click on the detail row header (the gray area, should have 3 horizontal lines), and select Insert Row -> Inside Group (either above or below, depending on where you want the row).
This will add a new row to the current group, with the current group being your detail rows. You can then add fields and text to the second row, and both will show up for each dataset record when the report is run.
