ssrs - how to use a group by in the header - reporting-services

My aim is to have that
I want to add a colum name, on my header that will be in a group. That column name will be linked to an existing group within the body of my report
This is what I've done
I tried to put a column name inside of a textbox , within the header
=(Fields!EVENEMENTS_TYPE_LIBEL.Value, "DataSetEvtsLibel")
It did not work. The only thing possible is to have an agreggate (see below)
=First(Fields!EVENEMENTS_TYPE_LIBEL.Value, "DataSetEvtsLibel")
I then created a parameter Libel, I've used a query to provide available values inside of the parameter.
It gives me the relevant field but alas it does not do the grouping.
I looked at the internet but I did not find anything relevant.
If you have any tips, they are more than welcomed.
Thanks
Update: Should I mention I'm talking about Page header

You can create a Group Header in order to show the current value in the header between each instance of your group.
In the Row Groups pane, right click Details group, and add a parent group.
Select EVENEMENTS_TYPE_LIBEL in the group by drop down list, and mark the Add group header check box.
Now in the tablix delete the first row and the first column. You should get a tablix like this:
Merge the first row in one cell and use EVENEMENTS_TYPE_LIBEL field.
Add the columns in the next row, you will have to insert an additional row for column headers, so use insert inside the group:
It should produce the following tablix:
UPDATE: Adding textbox with the current group present in the page.
See the header textbox properties in the tablix and look for the textbox name:
Now in the Page Header textbox use:
=ReportItems!Textbox176.Value
It will show something like this:
Hope this be what you are looking for.

Looks like you would like to dynamic change the report header value based on tablix row group value change.
If the answer is YES, you may refer to SSRS dynamic change the report header textbox value based on tablix row group value change
Actually, I have a SSRS report needed to do that. And the answer provided by #Hannover Fist solved my issue.
Hope this help.

SSRS Column Header Repeat in Corresponding Pages

I am a Beginner in SSRS where i am Getting this Random Conflict--My Column Headers are Not Repeating in the Next Pages of my RDL.
How to Achieve this?? Can you all please help me out.
Depending on the version SSRS you are running you may have to do it another way. Select the tablix and then under the Columns Groups click the down arrow on the right of the header and select "Advanced".
Then under Row Groups select the Static item at the top. The properties should refresh and set the property "RepeatOnNewPage" to true and the "KeepWithGroup" to after.

ROW Headers not appearing SSRS

I have a report which is a tablix without any details group or any group for that matter. I have a row headers which are based on an expression that I would like to repeat on each of the page. But within the report, I do not see these headers being repeated. Is it because I have no grouping?
What am i doing wrong? How can I get these to appear?
Right Click on Tablix>Tablix Properties
You will see the different options for Row Headers and Column header.
You will not be able to create a static header without a row group within a tablix. However, this is possible within a matrix. I had to re-create the table as a matrix. Then I was able to add the static row header to each page.

How can i hide a Column group when I use pagebreak

I have made a matrix report in SSRS with two column groups. I have added one of the column group also in the Row groups to use page break so I can have each column group on a separate page.
And you see in the following pictures the preview of what has happened with the output.
Page One
Page Two
You see that the page break has worked but it doesn’t hide the other column that shouldn’t be present.
Does somebody has a clue how to fix this?
I don't think just adding a page break will hide the column group's visibility. In SSRS, you can set visibility of a column group based on a condition. Right click on the column group, select Group Properties, Select "Visibility", and "Show and Hide Based on Expression".
You could set an expression based on a field or parameter value. For example, if a parameter value is such, the visibility is true, else false. Example:
=IIF(Parameters!"PARAMNAME".Value.Equals(value),false,true)
I would think in your case, if some a field was null or blank, hide the column group. The page break will take care of itself.
I have solved it with the list object in the toolbox.
I have put the matrix in the list and used a page break on the list.

How to get group headers to span a Tablix column

I am using Microsoft Reporting Services (rdlc, that comes with Visual Studio 2010)
Suppose I want to create a report that has a Group Header, detail rows, and a group footer.
(I'm using Tablix, but if there is a different way, I'm open to it).
Now, there are several columns, but I want for the group header to span the columns. Is that possible?
Another question:
Suppose I want to conditionally span columns in my detail row, is that possible? (and how?)
Say you have teams/reps and you want to send them their leads/appointments to work on for the day.
A lot of tutorials for grouping in a RDLC Tablix look like this:
But you want it to look like this:
Step by step, here’s how I’ve figured out
Add your table (Tablix) and ensure the DataSetName property is set
Highlight the details row and right click. Add a parent group to the row
Set the group by to e.g. TeamDescription, and check Add group header
The Row Groups panel should look like this. The indent for the Details is needed.
OK, at this point you’ve got what you don’t really want. ANDY and BELINDA are going to appear in a column to the left of your info.
But that’s fixable. In the spare cell above e.g. ApptStart enter e.g. [TeamDescription] and right click on it and choose to merge the cell across the other three columns. Set its alignment to center. Maybe bold too.
Then delete the first column as that’s now redundant.
Here’s how it should look by now:
You can get a field to span columns by selecting a few of the header fields and selecting the "Merge Cells" option.
As for conditionally spanning, you can't do that directly but I can think of a workaround. It really depends on the data you have so for a better answer you need to provide more information.
You could have two detail rows and conditionally hide one or the other. In one row the cells could be merged and not in the other. The only thing you couldn't necessarily control with this technique is the order of the rows, but it might work.

SSRS adding a footer row to a table - CSV output

I have a simple table in SSRS which I am using to create a CSV report.
The output looks like:
a,b,c
1,2,3
4,5,6
where a,b,c are the column headers.
Now my client requires a footer row saying how many records are in the file.
However if I add a row to my table with the required fields in, the output becomes:
a,b,c,records
1,2,3,2
4,5,6,2
instead of:
a,b,c
1,2,3
4,5,6
records,2
Does anyone know how I can achieve the desired effect?
In SSRS 2005, the table control has, by default, three rows. The top one is for a header, the bottom one is for footer, and the middle one is for data. Looking at your example, it appears you dragged the records value into a new column in the middle row, and it automatically added a header for you.
Instead, drag it into the bottom row. You can type "records" into the leftmost column of the footer, and whatever data set field you have for the records count into the 2nd column.
In SSRS 2008, you have the Tablix control. It defaults to a Header row and a Data row. Right-click on the data row, and select Insert Row -> Outside Group - Below. Then you have a footer row that you can add to the same way was in SSRS 2005.
The effect you're trying to achieve is not possible but you can get rid of that column.
Select the row you use as Footer, actually the textbox associated and set the DataElementOutput for that textbox to NoOutput. That row will not be exported in CSV.
This applies to any textboxes in a report.
In SSRS 2008 , Click on the Report Tab on the top menu . Then select "Add Page Footer"
