How do I remove empty/null groups from being expanded in a report?
I've created a report that may need up to 10 levels of grouping, but quite often the expandable groups won't actually need to go down that far.. for example this group has nulls in every group below it:
Ideally the above would just be 1.1.2.1. CIS (team) group with no ability to expand down further because the next group is null. I'd like this effect at any point down the expandable tree where the next group is null.
This is how my report is setup:
Each group's Display can be toggled by this report item property is currently set to the group above it.
I'm using Report Builder 3.0.

Here's the issue.
I have the following report, which consists of a table (not matrix) that has 3 different levels of grouping
Report Design
I'm quite familiar with a basic function of interactive sorting, but what i need to do here is as follows:
Having in mind the pic previously shown, I need to add a Interactive sorting to the column "Porcentaje %" (percentage) in each one of the repetitions of LV1 entries, the issue is that I need that the sorting works on the LV3 group WITHOU affecting the sorting of LV2 group.
I have made the basic configurations on the Textbox Properties dialog, in the Interactive Sorting section, and the report do not crash, but also doesnt sort the information.
any ideas on how to do this?
Also, the headers are part of a ColumnGroup that repeats on each month i'm filtering on the report. Said group has the property Hidden set as true, and is toggled by a "Totals" columns outside the group.
I have an SSRS report that gets exported to PDF and then printed on to paper. The problem I am having is that I am getting page breaks in the middle of a group.
I have MetricGroup - MetricSubGroup and Details. Those are my Row Groups.
I have several different MetricGroups in the report.
I need to make it so that my report will not break in the middle of a MetricGroup.
So right now I get lets say 2 metric groups and half of the 3rd metric group on page 1. Page 2 contains the second half of the 3rd metric group and so on.
I need SSRS to push a metric group to the next page if the metric group does not fit entirely on the current page.
Is this possible to accomplish?
You need to use the KeepTogether option - but bear in mind this is a "best endeavours" process - for instance, you couldn't keep two thousand rows together on one page.
Another approach is to force page breaks and certain parts of the report.
To elaborate a little more on the previous answer, specifying KeepTogether = true for any given tablix member will try to keep all elements of that tablix member together.
So if you specify KeepTogether on your MetricGroup tablix member, SSRS will try to keep all elements of that tablix group together, and when it fails because the report spans multiple pages, it will page break where it likes, resulting in groups breaking up over pages.
If, however, you specify KeepTogether on your MetricSubGroup tablix member, SSRS will try to keep all of the subgroups within a MetricGroup together, which will result in the parent MetricGroup trying not to break on a page if that were possible.
I'm spelling this out explicitly because there's a common degenerate case here - a report without any groupings but with a complex details tablix that generates with multiple rows per data record. Trying to specify KeepTogether on the details tablix will try to keep all of the details together, introducing unexpected page breaks.
In this case you'll need to generate a details group as the immediate parent of the details tablix and group by whatever the report identity is. Then you can specify KeepTogether on the details tablix and it will keep together only the members for one single data record.
Can a list report in Report builder 3 be side by side instead of top to bottom and if so where can I make that change.
edit--- from what I have found on the net I have to do something along the lines off newspaper column, can some explain in layman terms how to do this.
This definitely possible, but not something offered by default. First we need to understand what SSRS creates when you select a List, then do something similar at the column level instead of the row level.
When you create a List, this is actually a Tablix with one row, one column and one TextBox, with a Rectangle embedded in the TextBox. Since it's a Rectangle, you can then embed any element in the Rectangle in the required position to achieve a free-form list:
You can see there is one group created automatically, called Details. This has no group expression, which means it will just repeat for each row in the DataSet:
So a simple List looks something like this:
To achieve a side-by-side List, we need to change the underlying Tablix to have a similar group to Details, but in a column group.
To do this:
Delete the row group Details.
Add a new column group (name doesn't matter). When creating a group, you must select a column from your DataSet - just select any row here.
Remove the group expression from the new column group
Now we have an equivalent Details group at the column level. It should look something like this:
When run this is now a side-by-side List as required:
I am writing a report in which there are groups in 3 columns, and a subtotal figured at the end of each group. When I create the grouping, a column is created out to the left of the report. I am normally in the habit of renaming the grouping column to the field that is being grouped and deleting the column in the report. However, the client wants the field inside the report and not on the outside (in other words he wants the columns to be specifically where he requested them. Is there a way to accomplish this?
Here is a representative example of what I am trying to achieve.
BusinessSegment Entity CostCenter ShipDate InvoiceNumber CompanyCode Estimated Amount
I want to group by CostCenter and CompanyCode, and provide subtotals at the end of each group for Estimated Amount.
You can't group inline except with an aggregate (min, max, sum, count) etc. Otherwise you are going to get the first result something is grouped on and have inaccuracies.
Can you just collapse the values of the grouping instead?
In SSRS generally with reports you have a 'details' grouping whether it is a matrix or a table report. You mentioned 'columns' so it sounds like you have header's of A, B, and C and they want to see a totals. You can generally add a grouping but then have it collapse or expand on demand. That way you present an end user with the data but they have the option of expanding it to see more if they want.
Since you did not specify if you have a matrix I will assume you have one. When you have multiple categories you can hit the grouping of a row or column and if you are having a matrix it is probably using a [SUM(field)]. The grouping of columns are showing all of them, however you can specify they are collapsed or expanded at runtime. Right Click the grouing and you get 'Group Properties'. Select the 'Visibility' pane on the left. Choose 'Hide' radio button and the default for your report will 'collapse' the values to be an aggregate instead of the expanded details of each column. If you want an option to have the user expand or collapse select the checkbox 'Display can be toggled by this report item:'. Choose a textbox or other object outside the collected scope and a user can be presented with the option to collapse or expand on default.
I have to create report SSRS RDL.I am new to report.
Can anybody suggest me how to design report OR apply grouping so that it looks alike as given below format:
and following records are coming from database:
Where
Total AA = 3(1+2),4(3+1)
Total A = 8(3+5),5(4+1)
Thanks
Either right click the cell and select Add Group and then Parent Group under Row Group or right click your details group under Row Groups window.
EDIT:
Attached some images showing the process:
Then you select the field used to group and if you want to add a header/footer.
For your total you can use [Sum(FieldName)].
It will sum only the data inside that group.
