How to remove repeated headers in ssrs 2008 - reporting-services

I have got a table in ssrs 2008 like that:
Replacement
Location Date
Total Missing
X 100 20
Location Date
Total Missing
Y 200 50
Location Date
Total Missing
Z 300 80
I want to get rid of the repeats of titles but I could not manage it. I check Tablix properties and see "Repeat header..." and "Keep header..." options are all unchecked. Note that the table is grouped by Row:Location and Column:Date.
How can I remove repeated headers?
I want something like:
Replacement
Location Date
Total Missing
X 100 20
Y 200 50
Z 300 80
I appreciate for helps.

The group by Location appears to be on two rows of data, first row contains the title "Location" and the second row contains the expression =Location.
The group by Location needs to be on one row without the title in the grouping as denoted by the grouping handle.

How to sum only one of repeated values from joined data in RDLC

I'm not sure if SSRS is dumb, or I am (I'm leaning towards both).
I have a dataset that (as a result of joins etc) has some columns with the same values duplicated across every row (fairly standard database stuff):
rid cnt bid flg1 flg2
-------------------------------
4 2882 1 17 3
5 2784 1 17 3
6 1293 1 17 3
18 9288 2 4 9
20 762 2 4 9
Reporting based on cnt is straightforward enough. I can also make a tablix that shows the following:
bid flg1 flg2
------------------
1 17 3
2 4 9
(Where the tablix is grouped by Fields!bid.Value and the columns are just Fields!flg1.Value and Fields!flg2.Value respectively.)
What I can't figure out is how to display the sum of these values -- specifically I want to show that the sum of flg1 is 21 and the sum of flg2 is 12 -- not the sum of every row in the dataset (counting each value more than once).
(Note that I'm not looking for a sum of distinct values, as they may not be unique. I want a sum of one value from each bid group, because it's from a table join so they will always have the same value.)
If possible, I'd also like to be able to do a similar calculation at the top level of the report (not in any tablix); although I'd settle for hiding the detail row if that's the only way.
Obviously, Sum(Fields!flg1.Value) isn't the answer, as this either returns 51 (if on the first row inside the group) or 59 (if outside it).
I also tried Sum(Fields!flg1.Value, "bid") but this wasn't considered a valid scope.
I also tried Sum(First(Fields!flg1.Value, "bid")) but apparently you're not allowed to sum first values for some weird reason (and may have had the same scope problem anyway).
Using Sum(Max(Fields!flg1.Value, "bid")) does work, but feels wrong. Is there a better way to do this?
(Related: is there a good way to save the result of that calculation so that I can later also show a Sum of those totals without an even hairier expression?)
There are two basic ways to do this.
Do what you have already done (Sum(Max(Fields!flg1.Value, "bid")))
Sum the rendered values. To do this check the name of the cell containing the data you want (check it's properties) and then use something like =SUM(ReportItems!flg1.Value) where flg1 is the name of the textbox, which is not necessarily always the same name as the field.

Spotfire intersect first 'n' periods

Is there a way to use an Over and Intersect function to get the average sales for the first 3 periods (not always consecutive months, sometimes a month is skipped) for each Employee?
For example:
EmpID 1 is 71.67 ((80 + 60 + 75)/3) despite skipping "3/1/2007"
EmpID 3 is 250 ((350 + 250 + 150)/3).
I'm not sure how EmpID 2 would work because there are just two data points.
I've used a work-around by calculated column using DenseRank over Date, "asc", EmpID and then used another Boolean calculated column where DenseRank column name is <= 3, then used Over functions over the Boolean=TRUE column but I want to figure the correct way to do this.
There are Last 'n' Period functions but I haven't seen anything resembling a First 'n' Period function.
EmpID Date Sales
1 1/1/2007 80
1 2/1/2007 60
1 4/1/2007 75
1 5/1/2007 30
1 9/1/2007 100
2 2/1/2007 200
2 3/1/2007 100
3 12/1/2006 350
3 1/1/2007 250
3 3/1/2007 150
3 4/1/2007 275
3 8/1/2007 375
3 9/1/2007 475
3 10/1/2007 300
3 12/1/2007 200
I suppose the solution depends on where you want this data represented, but here is one example
If((Rank([Date],"asc",[EmpID])<=3) and (Max(Rank([Date],"asc",[EmpID])) OVER ([EmpID])>=3),Avg([Sales]) over ([EmpID]))
You can insert this as a calculated column and it will give you what you want (assuming your data is sorted by date when imported).
You may want to see the row numbering, and in that case insert this as a calculated column as well and name it RN
Rank([Date],"asc",[EmpID])
Explanation
Rank([Date],"asc",[EmpID])
This part of the function is basically applying a row number (labeled as RN in the results below) to each EmpID grouping.
Rank([Date],"asc",[EmpID])<=3
This is how we are taking the top 3 rows regardless if Months are skipped. If your data isn't sorted, we'd have to create one additional calculated column but the same logic applies.
(Max(Rank([Date],"asc",[EmpID])) OVER ([EmpID])>=3)
This is where we are basically ignoring EmpID = 2, or any EmpID who doesn't have at least 3 rows. Removing this would give you the average (dynamically) for each EmpID based on their first 1, 2, or 3 months respectively.
Avg([Sales]) over ([EmpID])
Now that our data is limited to the rows we care about, just take the average for each EmpID.
#Chris- Here is the solution I came up with
Step 1: Inserted a calculated column 'rank' with the expression below
DenseRank([Date],"asc",[EmpID])
Step 2: Created a cross table visualization from the data table and limited data with the expression below

To calculate sum of the fields in a matrix with column grouping

I am working on a ssrs report with column grouping. the followin is my scenario.
Matrix 1:
ID 2012 2013
1 20 40
1 30 50
Total 50 90
Matrix 2:
ID 2012 2013
1 60 70
1 60 80
Total 120 150
I need the sum of matrix1 and matrix2 like below:
ID 2012 2013
1 170 240
But I got the result like :
ID 2012 2013
1 410 410
I have applied column grouping in all the 3 matrices and gave the expression to get sum for matrix 3 as: =Sum(Fields!amount1.Value, "dsmatrix1") + Sum(Fields!Tamount1.Value, "dsmatrix2")
Please help me to get a solution for this.
Thanks!
I think I know what's going on. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Based on what I'm seeing, I'm guessing that Matrix 1 and Matrix 2 only have three fields each, an ID field, an amount field (being "amount1" or "Tamount1"), and a year field.
Your column grouping is manipulating the display of the data to show all values broken out by year. This works fine when looking at data from a single dataset. However, your formula is specifying that the sum of everything in the Amount1 field of dsmatrix1 and the Tamount1 field of dsmatrix2 should be added. This does not take into account the column grouping. Your expression is essentially taking all of the values from both datasets and adding them together.
Not knowing more about your query structure or how the data is filtered, my best guess is that you need another SQL dataset. In this case, you would take the queries from your two previous datasets and union them with the "Union All" command. Note that you will want to use Union All and not just Union. More on that here: What is the difference between UNION and UNION ALL?
Your end result should look something like this:
--This will be your dsmatrix1 query copied and pasted
Select ...
Union All
--This will be your dsmatrix2 query copied and pasted
Select ...
--Place one single Order by clause at the bottom
Order by ...
Note: for your two queries to be unioned properly, you'll need to make sure that each have the same number of fields, each with the same data types. Then you can point your third matrix to the new dataset.
Hope that helps!

Can Tablix Row Total only refer to last X groups?

I have a report in a tablix with 1 to x column groups. In the totals for each row, is it possible to refer to only say the last 2 groups? The requirement is to add a column that shows the most recent % change between the last 2 groups.
Jan Feb Mar |Total Recent % Change
5 10 5 20 50%
1 3 6 10 200%
I ended up using the technique I learned in this post: Creating conditional total rows in SSRS
Basically, I added another field with the ranking/order of the Groups in descending order (so that the most recent group is #1).
Example of the expression: (Note that I have custom code to do the divide so that I don't get divide by zero errors.)
=code.divide(sum(iif(fields!Last_ORDER.Value=1,fields!Num_Apps_Submitted.Value,0)),sum(iif(fields!Last_ORDER.Value=2,fields!Num_Apps_Submitted.Value,0)))

how to push data down a row in sql results

I would like help with sql query code to push the consequent data in a specific column down by a row.
For example in a random table like the following,
x column y column
6 6
9 4
89 30
34 15
the results should be "pushed" down a row, meaning
x column y column
6 null or 0 (preferably)
9 6
89 4
34 30
SQL tables have no inherent concept of ordering. Hence, the concept of "next row" does not make sense.
Your example has no column that specifies the order for the rows. There is no definition of next. So, what you want to do cannot be done.
I am not aware of a simple way to do this with the way you are showing the table being formatted. If your perhaps added two consecutively numbered integer fields that provide row number and row number + 1 values, you could join the table to itself and get that information.
After taking a backup of you table:
Make a PHP function that will:
- Load all values of Y into an array
- Set Y = 0 (MYSQL UPDATE)
- load the values back from PHP array to MYSQL
