I have a report that I need to use a Boolean parameter Y/N to Ungroup or Group a particular grouping (Skill) so when a user select Yes it will ungroup the data and No to group the data. Is this possible?
So, I have the following columns below, and I need to add a report parameter Group Field on Skill.. so the article URL that I indicated in this question, has 2 parameter selection 1) Don't Group 2) Skill. When Don't group is selected the row data appears without the grouping and when 2) is selected it is group by skill. I have added the expression below in the group (Skill) properties.
=IIF(Parameters!GroupField.Value = "Nothing",1,Fields(IIF(Parameters!GroupField.Value="Nothing","Skill",
Parameters!GroupField.Value)).Value)

I have a subreport that provides items and their value, with a sum of the value at the bottom. I would like to sort my main report, which is the owner of the items, by the total sum of the item value.
I have a main report that supplies the user with a persons name and contact information. I have built a sub report that takes the person's ID and displays the name and value of items associated with them. The subreport has a sum of the items. I would like to sort this report so that the highest total value is at the top. I'm new to working with sub reports in SSRS so any help would be appreciated!
this is my report -> type and balance are the sub report. I know that these are already sorted, but that is just coincidence and I have about a thousand rows that need to be sorted by total balance
I assume that the subreport is in a tablix of some kind?
If so then the usual process is to include the value you want to sort by in the dataset that drives the tablix.
So the dataset for tablix containing the subreport might look something like
SELECT *
FROM (
SELECT personID, SUM(transactionvalues) as SortValue
GROUP BY personID
) q
ORDER BY q.SortValue DESC
Now you can just sort your tablix by the SortValue
You also can apply the sorting from the report side. If your Sum() has the following expression in your tablix,
=Sum(Fields!Balance.Value)
you can add the exact same expression in the Tablix Properties > Sorting > Add (with the option from A to Z or Z to A).
I have a requirement to report the number of people who have more than one record in the dataset for my SSRS report and I can't quite get how to filter on the grouping.
So if the dataset results are:
ID PersonID FileID
1 1234 abc
2 7890 ade
3 5647 aer
4 1234 xyz
I would like to report 1. There is one person who has more than 1 record.
Is there an expression or something I can use to do this?
Thank you.
You can use LookupSet and CountDistinct function to get the required count, however you will need the textbox used to show the calculation be in a scope.
If you want to show the number of persons with more than one record as a total in your table use this expression:
=CountDistinct(
IIF(
LookupSet(
Fields!PersonID.Value,Fields!PersonID.Value,
Fields!ID.Value,"DataSetName"
).Length>1,Fields!PersonID.Value,Nothing)
)
Set it outside any group scope:
However if you want to show the number of persons with more than one record outside your tablix in a textbox, you can add an additional tablix and delete the necessary rows and columns to leave only one textbox then set the dataset property to the dataset name you are using and use the same expression.
It should produce:
Note my dataset has more rows to ilustrate the functionality. In the right side there is only one textbox with the count.
Let me know if this helps.
If you want the result to be something like shown below.
Steps:
Create a group on Person ID
Right Click on Group > Add Total > Before
Add a column and put =Count(Fields!PersonID.Value)
If you want to display only Persons having more than one, set the visibility property of the tablix row.
I am trying to find a way to use the Group By functionality to create a table where the numerator of a fraction is grouped both by column and row, and the denominator is grouped only by column.
Here's my existing expression:
=Round(Sum(Fields!Days_In_Step.Value)/CountDistinct(Fields!ID.Value),1, MidpointRounding.AwayFromZero)
When grouped by rows (groupName) and columns (month/year) the numerator (Sum(Fields!Days_In_Step.Value)) gives me good data, but the denominator (CountDistinct(Fields!ID.Value)) is also grouped by row (groupName) and I don't want that.
I have a SQL solution but am trying to do this entire within SSRS expressions, if possible.

Sample Data:
It would look like this. The background is that these groupings are counts of days and the "all" are counts of tickets, so we are trying to see who is sitting on their tickets longer.
Here is a mock-up including a sample data set using a pivot table:
Edit 2
Here is a full sample data set:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rYPMcrLNB-FZN64Fn2-y3FtnM2iQo2VMH7YTdfiVnKM/edit?usp=sharing
I need to group on month as well as year, and I do not want to see "Exclude" in the group rows, however they cannot be filtered out of the tablix without being removed from the overall population, which is required for the denominator.
Your problem is caused by the scoping of aggregate functions. When you use aggregate function they run under the scope where it is placed in the tablix by default. In your case Sum() and CountDistinct() functions are running in both row groups (Owner Group) and column group (Month Group).
Fortunately, you can specify the scope that you want your aggregate function computes the aggregation, simply add the group name in the function:
CountDistinct(Fields!ID.Value,"MonthGroup")
The whole expression is like this:
=Round(Sum(Fields!Days_In_Step.Value)/
CountDistinct(Fields!ID.Value, "MonthGroup"),1, MidpointRounding.AwayFromZero)
Replace "MonthGroup" by the actual name of your group in columns
group.
This is result using the sample data you provided:
I've used this expression to show you how it is produced:
=Sum(Fields!Days.Value) & "/"
& CountDistinct(Fields!Ticket.Value,"MonthGroup") & "=" &
Sum(Fields!Days.Value)/CountDistinct(Fields!Ticket.Value,"MonthGroup")
Note my column group is named MonthGroup.
UPDATE: Scoping multiple groups in CountDistinct function.
Firstly I am not filtering the dataset, I prefer hide the Exclude rows using the below expression in the Hidden property of the Row Visibility window:
=IIF(Fields!Group.Value="Exclude" OR Fields!Group.Value="-1",true,false)
To count distinct id grouping by Month and Year but not by Group you can create a child group below Month group as you can see below:
My group is called Group2 and I used this expression in the Group on textbox.
=Fields!End_Month.Value & "-" & Fields!End_Year.Value
It will create a group per every Month-Year combination. When you create the group it will be added as a column group so you will have to delete the row so you will be prompted if you want to delete the group and row or delete the row only. Delete only the row leaving the group.
Now the expression you have to use is
=Round(Sum(Fields!Days.Value)/CountDistinct(Fields!ID.Value, "Group2"),1,MidpointRounding.AwayFromZero)
Replace Group2 by the name of the created group in your case.
This is the whole recreation of your scenario:

I have an SSRS report that I am doing dynamic grouping on that displays an agenda with time. grouping performed on a field called subheader and then the agenda times (another field) displayed under that group subheader.
The problem that I am having is that I want to avoid the grouping if the parameter is null. I just want to sort by the time if there is nothing in the sub header group. Times are being displayed in the wrong order for the titles where the subheader field is null
Without seeing your report, I can't tell how your grouping works.
If grouping the NULLs won't affect the report, you can use ISNOTHING to group the records with the NULL value together. Then sort by the same group field then your time field.
=IIF(ISNOTHING(FIELDS!Subheader.Value), "", FIELDS!Subheader.Value)
But if you want them separate, group by a unique ID (if you have one in the data) or a random number to keep the blanks separated:
=IIF(ISNOTHING(FIELDS!Subheader.Value), CEILING(RND()*100000), FIELDS!Subheader.Value)
Sort by the same IIF expression used in the Group By field then sort by Agenda_Time.
I have a column name 'APPs % of total' and it requires two different data sets to be populated .This doesn't seem to work. Any tips will be appreciated. Thanks
=(Fields!AppQty.Value/Fields!AppQty.Value,"second dataset")
The problem is: how does SSRS know which row to pull from the second dataset to get the field? So you have to use aggregation or lookups:
Method 1: Simply aggregate at the current level
There's usually no need for a secondary dataset just for your sums. You can aggregate at the group level within the current dataset by using the following formula:
=Fields!AppQty.Value / SUM(Fields!AppQty.Value, "table1_Group1")
where table1_Group1 is the group where the data is summarised.
Method 2: Aggregate the entire dataset
Aggregate at the dataset level for the either the current dataset or a secondary one:
=Fields!AppQty.Value / SUM(Fields!AppQty.Value, "SomeDataset")
Method 3: Lookup the value from another dataset
You'll need a dataset that sums the values at a group level. You usually achieve this result using method 1 and grouping, but here for completeness. So, let's say you are grouping by DepartmentId, you would have a dataset that aggregates like so:
SELECT DepartmentId, SUM(AppQty) AS AppQty
FROM MyTable
GROUP BY DepartmentId
Then lookup the appropriate value for the department from the current row (in the current table's dataset):
=Fields!AppQty.Value / Lookup(Fields!DepartmentId.Value, Fields!DepartmentId.Value, Fields!AppQty.Value, "SummaryDataset")
So the Lookup matches the DepartmentId from this dataset with the DepartmentId in the SummaryDataset and returns the AppQty value.
