I have created a very simple report that is being used as a subreport. It is a single matrix with very little data in it.
I need to be able to toggle the rows based on a parameter that comes from the main report. I am able to toggle the visibility of the second and third row without issue but I am unable to access the row visibility for the first row.
I have found how to toggle the Hidden property based on an expression but it seems to only hide the row but it still shows whitespace
How am I able to access the row visibility for the top row so I can render it properly in the main report?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

How would I place all drilldown groups onto the same row on an SSRS report?
I've got it working on separate rows as you can see from the attached JPG.
Please advise the SSRS programming method.
Thank you very much.
To toggle the visibility a group (the groups defined by a dataset field), this should be done using a control belonging to its parent group.
For example: To toggle the visibility of the Top Appliction groups ("Yes" and "No" and everything underneath), select the System Owner textbox as the toggle control in the visibility settings of the Top Appliction group poperties.
In a new SSRS 2008 report, I have one main tablix and I will be embedding 5 existing tablixes into the one main tablix. For each row in the main tablix, I will be embedding 1 of the tablixes. There will be one dataset used and the same parameters are used between the 5 existing embedded tablixes. One of the parameters is to allow the user to select report number 1,2,3,4, or 5 which is an integer value. The default will be to select all the reports.
The selection of which reports will be displayed will be from the main tablix on row visibility for each embedded tablix. Each tablix will be set to 'add a page break after'. This works fine except the last page of the last report will always have a final blank page. I basically do not want that final page break to appear.
Thus is there a way to not have the final page break show up? Could I use some kind of condtional page break logic? If there some kind of a way to determine what the highest number report is that is selected and not allow a final page break to occur in that situation. If so, how would you setup that code?
If not, can you tell me a way that will solve this issue and show me the code, show me the screen prints, and or point me to link(s) that will tell me how to solve this problem?
There is two option for page break...One is Start of group and another one is end of group. Tick the start of a group only ...don't select end of a group. Let me know if you need any more help on this...
For each tablix you set "add a page break after", you need to select the tablix and go to Properties pane and expand page break section. Under the page break section you can enter an expression for the Disabled property.
Assuming your SelectReportNumber parameter is single select and Null displays all reports, the expressions for first four tablix should be like:
=IIF(Parameters!SelectReportNumber.Value <> Nothing,True,False)
Last tablix should not have page break in any case.
If you need multi select then you need to modify the expression for determining Max of the parameter and disable that page break only.
I've a SSRS page which has header, two charts with different datasets and a subreport below charts.
When I run the page and drill down (I click on one of the bars of chart, it calls itself) and data populates in subreport which spans multiple pages.
My problem is I want to repeat those charts on each page. I've searched and tried a lot However nothing worked forme.
How can I repeat charts in multiple pages of subreport? Please note that I've got charts with different data sets and that subreport is used at multiple places.
Thanks for the reply mike.
I believe it can not be achieved using subreports. hence, i embedded that subreport tablix into report and did as suggested by mike(charts went into header row).
Since tablix accepts only single dataset, i created a big dataset that has all the fields for two charts and data and applied required settings to get the job done.
It worked for me(at least to get the job done.).
I had a report that after each record (customer), I put a page break so that each record got its own numbers in one page. I also wanted to add a graph specific to only that customer. So i added the graphs into a table. In the table where my graphs were place, I added a parent group group - the same group as my data and I checked that the table also had the page break on the same group. This separated each record into a page each and also added the graphs to its corresponding record.
I would try to wrap the two charts and subreport inside a tablix. The dataset for the tablix would be one that returns a single row.
The two charts would go into the header row(s). The subreport would go in the Detail row.
Row and Column sizes need to be expanded to fit the chart and subreport sizes. There may be only one or two Columns depending on your layout.
Then I would use the dreaded "Advanced Mode" technique to get the header row(s) to repeat on each page, e.g.

Apparently this should have been simple. After lots of digging, I'm yet to find anything that works. I have a row group in my SSRS report whose visibility is toggled by a textbox. What I want is to have the text Show in the textbox when it's collapsed, and Hide when it's expanded.
But I can't find any property of the group that can give me its toggle state. I have found in a few forums that it's not possible. As a workaround, I've tried the InScope() function ( as suggested in http://forums.asp.net/t/1601570.aspx/1). But to no avail. Can anyone suggest anything?
I believe you are correct in stating that SSRS does not expose the ToggleState property for use in the report.
In these types of situations, I use report parameters to control the state of the report. For example, you could add a parameter named isGroupVisible to the report with a default value of 1 to represent visible. Set your group's visibility to that parameter, and set your text box value conditioned on the state of isGroupVisible. Then in the text box you set your actions to be go to a report, and set the report url to be the same report with the isGroupVisible = to the opposite of what it currently is.
You can decorate your text box all you want to give the users the indication that it can be pressed to toggle the state of the report.
Draw backs to this approach is that it isn't as snappy as the ajax calls SSRS does to expand visibility--it will post back to the server on each toggle press.
Advantages to this approach include much more flexibility in controlling the state of the report.
In my report I have Matrices that appear according to the parameters on a SP. Each Matrix holds an specific "code"/description which I want to show on the Page Header accordingly.
I tried using an <<Expr>> but that didn't work well as it only shows the first record of the database instead of the code for the specific matrix.
Then I found out that I can show an specific textbox with "=ReportItems!TextBoxXX.Value" and so I added to each Matrix the code value hidden.
Now I thought of adding in the page header inside a TextBox a concatenation of all the values, but that didn't work, and I got a:
"The value expression for the textrun "textboc11.Paragraphs[0].TextRuns[0]" refers to more than one report item. An expression in a page header or footer can refer to only one report item.
Hence, my next attempt consisted of adding separate text boxes each one with the desired TextBox Value and one behind the other (like a Pile of textboxes). Everything working now, except that the "space" that each textbox occupies appears in the report showing the desired value and a white space above each textbox when rendered.
Any ideas of how to prevent this behavior? Maybe creating an array with the textboxes and creating an IIF or I don't know, I've been searching for days and nothing seems like a good approach.
I hope someone can give me some advice and that I explained myself.
Thanks!
