I have a report using cascading parameters and sub-reports in SSRS.
I am able to print the report correctly for single student but when I select multiple ids I see that the data gets mixed up in the sub-reports.
I made sure I am using row grouping for studentID in all my sub-reports.
Any idea if I am missing anything?

I have a query that returns relevant data about inspectors and how long it takes them to respond to issues. The only parameters are a BeginDate and EndDate so for any given date range there could be anywhere from 0 to 100 inspectors.
I am using only one dataset and it contains an "Inspector" field that I'm hoping can be used as a filter to create as many tables as there are inspectors.
I know you can set filters on tables but from my (limited) SSRS knowledge, you must already have the tables created and the filters are typically hard-coded. What I need, is some way for the report to see how many Inspectors there are in the dataset and group those records into their own tables, repeating the same one created tablix over and over as needed.
This is being done strictly in SSRS 2012, not using a ReportViewer where back-end code could help me out unfortunately...
I don't have any code examples to provide, like I said I know you can do filtering but I am at a loss when it comes to doing something like this dynamically based on data... Sorry.
Depending on the report design you could either...
Single report with grouping
1. Create a single tablix.
2. Create a row group by Inspector and then add whatever fields you need to the details section.
3. You can optionally set page breaks between instances of your Inspector rowgroup from the rowgroup properties.
Sub report method
1. Create a subreport that accepts a parameter (InspectorID for example).
2. In the subreport filter the dataset using the parameter passed in so it only return data for a single inspector.
3. Add whatever controls you need to the report to handle a single Inspector
4. Create a main report
5. Add a dataset that gives you a simple distinct list of Inspectors, this will be used to pass parameters to the subreport.
Lets assume it just contains a list of InspectorIDs.
6. Add a list control to the report and set it's dataset property to the dataset that contains your list of InspectorIDs
7. Right-click in the list control's 'cell' and insert a subreport.
8. Set the subreport property to the subreport you created earlier and set that parmameter IsnpectorID to your InpsectorID field.
This will produce a subreport for each instance of inspector it finds.
Sorry about the format of this answer, in a rush!
Long time browser of this site, but first time poster. Normally I'm able to find the answer I need by searching, but in this case I haven't been able to, and it's driving me nuts!
I'm using BIDS / SSRS 2008 R2 to create a membership renewal form which my business will mail out to our customers. The form contains customer information, including membership dues / subscription info and other billing details.
In order to accomplish this,
I have built three RDLs:
Main report (this is one the users run). Contains base data set
(let's call it Proc 1), which requires an expiration date only, to
pull a list of member IDs and corresponding physical information
(address, phone, membership type, etc.) Contains the first subreport,
in a list, grouped by member ID.
One subreport for the first page in the main report. Contains a
set of parameters for each field it needs. Rather than execute Proc 1
again, I pass Proc 1's output from the main report to this subreport.
Everything in this subreport is also contained within a list, grouped
by member ID parameter (passed from main report).
Another subreport, nested within the first subreport, which pulls
subscription information. First subreport passes member ID and paid
through date to detail data set in nested subreport (let's call it
Proc 2). Proc 2 requires paid through date from page one subreport,
and ONE member ID, which it gets from its parent report. It displays
this information in a table, not grouped, since it should only be
receiving one ID at a time--- being that its parent subreport. and the
main report. are already grouped. However, I have tried grouping the
table based on member ID, and it didn't make a difference.
I found this approach necessary, because of the fact that I had two write two separate stored procs: one to pull the basic data, and one to pull detailed billing data. It's impossible to combine the two without creating duplicate rows. And of course, it's not possible to have a tablix assigned to a different data set than the list it is contained within. Hence the need for a subreport. I hope that all makes sense.
Anyway, my issue is that the nested subreport only displays data for the first customer. In fact, it doesn't display the nested subreport AT ALL for the rest of the customers. It's as if the nested subreport is only being passed the first member ID, but I don't see how that's possible given the grouping? Note that I am not using any FIRST or aggregate functions in the proc or report expressions. And I can execute each report file just fine individually.
I have tried creating a dummy data set in the nested subreport (ex. SELECT 'Nothing' AS Nothing) and adding it to a text box, thinking that this would force the nested subreport to display, but it STILL doesn't. Thoughts on what I might be doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

Your nested subreport could be throwing an error that your not seeing.

The known issue in SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services described in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/967749 should be fixed in SQL Server 2008 R2. Generally, the issue occurs because the parameter value is not passed to the subreport correctly or the subreport is not valid due to the specific values passed to the subreport.
I think you should add a detail group then put the subreport in that cell. Make sure the grouping is working correctly and pass the right values to the subreport.
I need to create an SSRS report which will display various objects (charts, tablix ...).
This report must display data refering to a distinct value of a table.
This is like a group but for all objects of my report.
Do you know how to do that ? I thinked about creating a list or a table and insert objects in it but a list or tablix could only have one dataset and I have many.
Could you suggest solution ?
Thanks
Put list in main report with one dataset and use 4 sub reports for other datasets...
I have a specific type report that I need to generate multiple copies of. What I want to do is pass a string of report IDs to SSRS and generate all of the individual reports (let call them subreports) with those IDs in one master report with each subreport on a new page. I've already tried making a subreport and placing it in a table with grouping. This worked the closest so far. It gave me all the pages I needed, but it generated the report for the first ID number over and over. Is there anyway to do this or am I gonna have to jump through a lot of hoops?
If you are passing the string of report IDs to a parameter on the master report, I think using a table and subreport should work. You'll need a way to split out the report IDs using a dataset on the master report and return them one per row (so you can pass each report ID individually to the subreport via the details row of the table).
I was going to recommend a table-valued parameter for this, but since they don't exist in SQL Server 2005 check out Arrays and Lists in SQL Server 2005 by Erland Sommarskog for a few other options.
I have a very basic report in SSRS that displays a grid of data. The query correctly returns multiple rows but the report only displays the first row. The query is as simple as SELECT * FROM... I dont have any special formatting and the tablix is in the details part of the report, not header or footer by accident. What else can I check?
The tablix was missing a row group.
A similar issue is driving me nuts.
I created a report manually from scratch in VS2012, threw a tablix on it and added the columns returned by a simple select. The report preview returns only the first group by primary key.
Then I created a similar report using a wizard and that report, although having only cosmetic differences, returns all groups by primary key.
