MDX of records returned - reporting-services

I'm building SSRS report. In Query Designer I have a report query. I need to count total records returned by this query.
How I can achieve this?

You can use MDX for counting rows and show the result in the report but that would imply the creation of an additional dataset. The easiest way if you need to show the count of rows is using COUNTROWS() function.
In a SSRS textbox, tablix or expression you need to get the total of rows of an specific dataset use:
=COUNTROWS("DataSetName")
Replace DataSetName by the actual name of the dataset you created using Query Designer.
Let me know if this helps.

Need the exact # of rows in SSRS report

I have a report that I work with in Visual Studio 2013.
The Dataset Query for the report returns about 1,000 rows of data [I run it in SSMS].
The only Row Group is the report is "Details".
Because of a 3-level grouping in the Details Group, the number of rows actually showing on the report is 400.
How can I get the actual count of Rows in the report to display?
I have tried suggestions from other threads on the forum - but I always end up with the number of rows that the Dataset returns - not the number of rows that are actually on the report.
Is there a way to get a count of the rows on the report rather than the count of rows that the underlying Dataset returns?
Thanks!!
Add row count to your sql and have the ssrs pick up your max row_number value.
I run SQL developer for most of my testing before I drop it into SSRS. It' not Visual Studio but how I would do it may help you.
Select row_count() over (order by [unique value in row]) ROW_NBR, existing row information from tables where ...
Then in SSRS enter this in your cell
=MAX(ROW_NBR, "DataSet1")
OR!!!!
just use this
=Count([value in existing code], "DataSet1")
Widening the scope of the count to your entire dataset will give you a count of all values in the dataset
Use CountRows.
Returns a count of rows within the specified scope.
=CountRows("DataSet1")

Reporting services, sum all rows of a column

I'm using reporting services 2005, I have a report with a table(table1) which displays data from an sql database.
A column on the table displays numbers. I want the total of all rows for that column, on a textbox(textbox3)
of another table(lets call it table2).
I tried placing this on a table2 textbox: =Sum(ReportItems!textbox1.Value)
texbox1 is the one from the table1. But when going to the Preview tab i get:
Error 2 [rsAggregateReportItemInBody] The Value expression for the textbox 'textbox3' uses an aggregate function on a report item. Aggregate functions can be used only on report items contained in page headers and footers.
How can I solve this?
Thanks.
You've got a couple of options.
The first is to use an expression similar to the following in the Textbox:
=Sum(Fields!value.Value, "Values")
Where Values is the name of the DataSet you want to aggregate.
Here you're creating an aggregate expression and specifying the scope where it executes, in this case a DataSet, i.e. aggregate all values in the DataSet.
As you can see from the error you're getting you can reference a report item with an aggregate, but if you're displaying the aggregate in the table header or footer you can reference that Textbox.
Here's a simple report showing both methods:
Hopefully you can adapt one method to your report.

Get Row Count in SSRS Report Builder

I have built a report using Report Builder 3.0 (that uses SQL Server 2008 R2). Now i wish to now how many records are being fetched from database to the report?
This is possible either by count function in SSRS or by using RANK/ROW_NUMBER function in SQL Query and assigning that as field to the report (RANK/ROW_NUMBER would give us rank to each row and navigating to last page in report would help me getting the total row count).
I tried count function but that counts on some field in the report. For instance = Count(Field!FieldName.value, "DataSetName") Problem in this approach: "FieldName" is not unique in the report and hence the counts get repetitive
Second option: Added Rank/Row_Number but they too use the same kind of fieldName and hence here too the counts get duplicated.
Main Problem: There is no field in my query that is unique (and hence i tried ROW_NUMBER())
How can i find the total row count or rank (for each row) in SSRS 2008?
Use the CountRows function. For example
=CountRows("MyDataset")
will give you the number of rows in MyDataSet.
As someone else mentioned above, I couldn't get CountRows("DatasetName") to work in the header until I wrapped it thusly:CSTR(CountRows("DatasetName")).
In the Tablix control's properties, there's a property name called NoRowsMessage put your message here when no row is returned.
you can't put aggregation values into the detail wihtout grouping.
Solution is below:
=Count(Fields!rn.Value)
I use it inside the column/header row.
I found a workaround for this. First create a data column with the value always set to 1. This will provide a value of one for each row of data.
Query Column
, 1 AS Unit
Use the "RunningValue" function into your report as shown below.
=RunningValue(Fields!Unit.Value,Sum,"DataSet")
This will also work as a 'running sum' if that's something you're looking for.

SSRS IIF Syntax with Multiple Datasets

I have a report with 2 data sets and would like to perform a SUM operation in a textbox expression. The problem arises when I want to perform an IIF in the sum since I only want a particular category of values summed.
I would like to get a sum of all the "Good" ranking values from the dsRetrieveCustomerAssetScores dataset. Please note there is more than one data set in the report, so I need to specify the scope when using the aggregate function. Below is the code I've tried (along with other permutations).
=Sum(iif(Fields!ranking.Value,"Good",1,0), "dsRetrieveCustomerAssetScores")
Any ideas?
You may have more than one dataset in your report, but I don't think it's possible to have more than one dataset per tablix. (Subreports within the tablix may be bound to a different dataset, but anywhere within the subreport will only be accessing that other dataset.)
The scope specified within aggregation formulas is normally related to groups within the tablix, not the datasources.
So, the code:
=Sum(iif(Fields!ranking.Value,"Good",1,0))
- should work within your tablix, as long as that tablix is accessing the dsRetrieveCustomerAssetScores dataset.

How to display average in an SSRS table?

I am using SSRS 2008 and one of my rows is supposed to return the average of a certain field. But currently it just displays all of the rows instead of one row with the average. How do I implement this?
Currently the stored proc for this RDL file returns all of the records. So I tried using the "Avg(<field value>)" function in SSRS for the SSRS expression. And then I grouped this row on the <field value>. I removed filtering so it should average all rows now.
I'm guessing the cause is the grouping. Any ideas though?
I think you need a totals row. Right-click on the group and then Add Totals Then you should be able to put your Avg(<field value>) in that cell.
