SSRS - Textbox Linebreak (or) Linking Table w/ Textbox - reporting-services

My SSRS report contains 4 tables, all of which have line breaks at the bottom.
I'm trying to find a way to tie my text boxes (titles for each table) to only show up on the first page of the start of each table. I'm honestly at a loss for this particular issue.
--Unrelated --
Originally I had a parameter with a visibility expression and a toggle option to switch between each table, but due to a recent change request the entire report needs to be on one screen.
(=IIF(Parameters!SelectAScreen.Value = "InvoiceDetails",false,true))

I think if you add an extra row above your data (outside the group) and set the RepeatOnNewPage to False, it should work the way you want it too.

Some version of #StevenWhite's comment above is the only way I know to do this. One way to do it is to do a union with a dummy key to force the title row to the top of each table:
select 1 as dummyKey,
'Title text for table1'
union all
select 2 as dummyKey,
<columns> from <table1>
order by dummyKey, <other sort columns>
and repeat for each table's dataset.
If necessary you can also do conditional formatting to make the title row stand out and look like a title.

SSRS report tables mutiple lines not showing

I am doing Microsoft Dynmics D365 report layout. I have a table in my report that need to show the lines from the table in MS Dynamic D365. Which have only 2 lines.
D365 frontend system:
In the report layout, it is only showing the first line and the second line is not showing.
Report layout first line only showing:
I want the 2 lines to be showed in the report. I am not sure if my coding is not right or the row group that I am grouping in the report design. Please help me please. Apperciated.
here is my code in the dp class to get the table lines:
PurchPurchaseOrderTmp.MGAItemLabelName = PurchExtendedMaster.ExtName;
PurchPurchaseOrderTmp.MGAColValue1 = PurchExtended.ColValue1;
PurchPurchaseOrderTmp.MGAColValue2 = PurchExtended.ColValue2;
PurchPurchaseOrderTmp.MGAColValue3 = PurchExtended.ColValue3;
PurchPurchaseOrderTmp.MGAColValue4 = PurchExtended.ColValue4;
PurchPurchaseOrderTmp.MGALabelId = PurchExtended.LabelId;
//PurchPurchaseOrderTmp.MGALabelIdString += int2Str(PurchExtended.LabelVersion);
if (PurchPurchaseOrderTmp.MGAItemLabelName != "") {
PurchPurchaseOrderTmp.MGALabelIdString = strFmt("%1-%2",
PurchExtended.LabelId, int2Str(PurchExtended.LabelVersion));
}
else {
PurchPurchaseOrderTmp.MGALabelIdString = "";
}
Here is my report design row grouping:
Thanks
This is not really an answer at the moment as I can't see enough to be certain but...
Looking at the report design, it 'appears' that you don't have anything in the details row(s). The details group rows have been reduced in height so I'm guessing there is nothing in there.
That means that the text boxes below this must be in a group header or footer which is why they will only appear once.
The best way to get your head round this is to dump all the data from your dataset into a simple flat table, then see what you want repeating.
For exmaple, it looks like Label ID (MGAItemLabelName ?) should only be shown once, so there needs to be a group for that - which it looks like you have.
Then within that label name group, you have two rows of data that you want to show, so these must be at a lower level than their parent group. That might be the details row group, or another row group between the header and details depending on your needs.
The details row group typically contains fields that you want to show every instance of and that does not have any subordinate/child data.

SSRS hiding a row group if there are no detail rows

Can someone please help me write a custom code that will check if the details of the row group = nothing? I'd like to use this as a show/hide expression such that table 0 will not display if there are no records within the group.
I can't seem to use aggregations for the row group details at the row group level.
Edit:
example 1 with a detail row
example 2 with without a detail row but the group header still displays. I'd like to hide this group completely:
OK, so it looks like you want to hide a table, not just a group within a table.
If this is not correct , please post your full report design.
You should be able to just count the rows in the dataset that the table is bound to.
So if your table is bound to `DataSet`` the 'Hidden' property would just be
=COUNTROWS("DataSet1") = 0
"DataSet1" is the name of the dataset, it is case sensitive and must be enclosed in double quotes.
The table will be hidden but the space it consumes will not be used, in other words, you will have a blank space where the table should be.
Alternatively, you can set the NoRowsMessage property to simple text message or an expression which will be displayed instead of just hiding the table.
I ended up using an IIF(IsNothing(Fields!MyField.Value), Parameters!ShowMissingGroup.Value,False) for the row group expression visibility then using a parameter to hide/show it.

Only allowing one Drilldown in SSRS

It took me hours of searching and putting together piecemeal parts to find the solution to this, so I figured I'd post it on here in the hopes of helping someone else.
The Problem: We need to display a report, with proper grouping and drilldowns. However, we should only allow one group to be drilled down at one time.
SSRS doesn't exactly have robust scripting options - for instance, you can't close other groups "on click" or anything like that. So how do you do it?
In My example i'm using the AdventureworksDW database. I want to have a dataset that includes the total sales for each group and region. My Stored Procedure looks something like this:
SELECT dst.SalesTerritoryGroup,
dst.SalesTerritoryRegion,
SUM(fis.SalesAmount) AS SaleTotal,
DATEPART(YEAR,fis.OrderDate) AS OrderYear
FROM [dbo].FactInternetSales AS fis
INNER JOIN [dbo].DimSalesTerritory AS dst
ON fis.SalesTerritoryKey = dst.SalesTerritoryKey
WHERE fis.OrderDate < #QueryEndDate
GROUP BY
dst.SalesTerritoryGroup,
dst.SalesTerritoryRegion,
DATEPART(YEAR,fis.OrderDate)
UNION ALL /*The ResellerSales table. Same info.*/
From there I added a table with two groups: SalesTerritoryRegion and its parent, SalesTerritoryGroup. I also added a column to the left INSIDE the SalesTerritoryGroup, with an X (this can also be an image if you'd like). This is the "Drilldown" button that we'll use.
Create a string parameter, mine was #ExpandedGroup. Set the Default to an empty string (so that all the groups start out collapsed). Right click on the SalesTerritoryRegion group, or whatever your subgroup is, and go to the visibility tab. Click "Show or Hide based on Expression" and enter something like this:
=iif(Parameters!ExpandedGroup.Value="" or
Fields!SalesTerritoryGroup.Value<>Parameters!ExpandedGroup.Value,True,False)
This statement means: If we haven't opened a dropdown, or if the dropdown isn't the one selected, set hidden to true. Otherwise, false.
Next click on your "X" column to the left of SalesTerritoryGroup or your supergroup. Right click to go to Textbox Properties. Click the action tab. From there select "Go to Report". When you specify a report, make the target itself (For instance, mine is Main). Then, add parameters to the report.
The most important here is ExpandedGroup. The name should be ExpandedGroup, but the value is not just [ExpandedGroup]. Instead, it's an expression:
=IIF(Fields!SalesTerritoryGroup.Value=Parameters!ExpandedGroup.Value,
"",
Fields!SalesTerritoryGroup.Value)
This expression says: If the Group is the same as the Expanded group, make ExpandedGroup an empty string when you load the report. Otherwise, send the TerritoryGroup value. Essentially, this will let us toggle on and off the drilldown (same as you would in the report if you had traditional drilldowns).
Note: Also be sure to pass other parameters! For instance, my query requires a date to exclude some transaction data. If you don't pass this parameter in the "Go to Report" action, then you'll have to enter it again when you DrillDown. This also means you can give yourself even more flexibility when you click a drilldown (changing a chart that's displayed etc.) which is what I'm doing for this project.
Hope it helps someone out! Of course, if there is a more elegant or simpler solution I'd absolutely love to hear it.

italicize text of a particular row in a group of a matrix in SSRS

I have created a SSRS 2008 report.I have created a matrix.I want to make one of the rows text to be italic based on condition in row group.I tried with below expression in font style of row group.
iif((Fields!Client.Value)="abc" ,"Italics","Default").But it is applying to all the rows in that group.
Can anyone help me how to italicize text of a particular row in a group .
I have just tried the following successfully in SSRS2005 - so think that it should also work for you.
In Fontstyle, for the row group, put
=IIF(Fields!Client.Value = "abc", "Italic", "Normal")
I tried different values in one of my reports (Using a different field) but successfully italicised the text of a single row.

How do I insert a dataset value to a BIRT report outside of a table / cube?

okay, this has got to be simple - but I can't seem to find an answer...
I am creating a summary report (using BIRT 2.6.1), and laying out a few specific summary values in a grid (not a table or a cube).
Say it's a simple query:
SELECT decision FROM dataTable
I created a data binding / aggregation (named "sumDecision") on my grid, of a type count, where my expression is:
dataSetRow["decision"]
Now, I've tried to insert this into a grid, either as "data" or "dynamic text" with the column binding:
row["sumDecision"]
But when I run the report, it comes up blank. How would I do this? Using dataSet["decision"] doesn't seem to do anything either.
I would create a Text Item (not Dynamic Text, just Text) and use the "Value Of" tags on the text item. This will give you an expression editor and as long as your grid is bound to the data set in question, you will be able to choose your data element there.
Since you just want to see the text in the grid, make sure and choose "HTML" for the format of the text item.
One solution is to create a table of 1 column, 1 detail - then delete the detail & header rows, and create my grid inside the footer of the table.
From here, I can add a dataset to the table, and create aggregations that work to my hearts content.
Is this the right way to do this, or am I missing something?
