I have four datasets that get information for four different things (a unique set of fields for each one), but that can be joined using a field they share. I need to get them all into a tablix that will have four rows, one for each dataset per the linking field. How do I do that?
Currently I can only put in values from one dataset.
Often the best idea would be to create a query that joins the datasets in the sql. If that is not possible, you can look into using the Lookup function to find info from other datasets in your report. The related Lookupset function is able to retrieve sets of information and may be useful as well.

I have two datasets defined which are retrieving data from 2 databases.
For a table column, i want to simply switch between 2 datasets to pick value.
My table is retrieving data from one dataset.So for a column;
eg:
=IIF(Parameters!CompanyId.Value=40, Fields!SiteCode.Value,
SecondDataset.SiteCode.value)
How can i do that? I checked Lookup function, but I'm not sure how that is useful here?
You should be able to do it by putting the lookup in your IIF statement. Assuming the SiteCode depends on the CompanyID:
=IIF(Parameters!CompanyId.Value=40, Fields!SiteCode.Value,lookup(Parameters!CompanyId.Value,Fields!CompanyId.Value,Fields!SiteCode.Value))
If it's more complicated than this, we would need information on the table you are looking up in.
Just stuck on getting information from two sources, we have a MYSQL database for repairs information which I have in SSRS, this brings back 7000 rows. We have another Repairs database in Oracle which brings back over 3 million rows.
I can't seem to bring the one from oracle as it exceeds the maximum limit, but is there any way do a left join using so i can bring only the two columns i need from the oracle one into the MySQl one which would mean i have 7000 rows plus the 2 columns from Oracle which have a common Primary key. I can't seem to join on two dataset with it being on two database.
Can anyone help.
THank you in advance
You can use the Lookup function in SSRS to find a value from one dataset based on a common key.
=Lookup(Fields!SaleProdId.Value, Fields!ProductID.Value, Fields!Name.Value, "Product")
Use Lookup to retrieve the value from the specified dataset for a
name-value pair where there is a 1-to-1 relationship. For example, for
an ID field in a table, you can use Lookup to retrieve the
corresponding Name field from a dataset that is not bound to the data
region.
(BIDs Description)
In the above example, the SalesProdID from one dataset is being used to relate to the ProductID in the Product table to get the Name field.
This will only return one value, though. This may or may not be OK depending on your data. If you need to return multiple values, use LookupSet.
=LookupSet(Fields!TerritoryGroupID.Value, Fields!TerritoryID.Value, Fields!StoreName.value, "Stores")
Use LookupSet to retrieve a set of values from the specified dataset
for a name-value pair where there is a 1-to-many relationship. For
example, for a customer identifier in a table, you can use LookupSet
to retrieve all the associated phone numbers for that customer from a
dataset that is not bound to the data region.
Unfortunately, you might need to SUM a Lookup but that isn't supported by a function in SSRS. Fortunately, users created a function for it:
SSRS Count Occurances based on multiple columns
I have one report in which I have table like below,
Now as for change I need to add the second table for each customer and the new report should look like as below,
So basically, I want to repeat two tables for each customer there will be multiple customers or single customer. I tried following this answer but with no luck. (The table should always visible so can not go with the drill down report.)
Any help would be great. My reporting server is 2008 r2.In case of the problem or confusion feel free to comment.
Similar to Jacob's answer, but make a subreport that handles all the tables and datasets for one single customer.
Then use a list object that is populated by a dataset of all the customers you want to display, and put the subreport in the list object, passing the customerId to the subreport.
You need to place it(the table) in a list object. And configure the grouping of the list and filtering of your table.
I've got two tables binded to two different datasets. I'm trying to reference one of the rows from one of the tables (Table A) from Table B.
Since it's outside the scope of the table, I can't use ReportItems![Textbox name].Value
Any ideas?
You can use the SSRS Lookup() or LookupSet() function to retrieve the data directly from the other dataset.
I found the MSDN pages a bit unclear, the syntax goes like this:
=LOOKUP(Fields!sourceMatchingField.Value,
Fields!targetMatchingField.Value,
Fields!targetReturnField.Value,
"Name of Second Dataset"
)
Fields!sourceMatchingField.Value is from the dataset that is
currently in scope.
Fields!targetMatchingField.Value is from the other data set you need to get information from and equals Fields!sourceMatchingField.Value.
These two parameter values for the Lookup function make the join criteria for the two datasets. They can be more complicated than simply two field references (such as using functions to manipulate on or both), but I'm just showing the simplest way to do it.
Fields!targetReturnField.Value is the field from the second dataset that you want to return. This should just be a reference to a field.
"Name of Second Dataset" is just what you've named the other dataset that you're joining to.
I have two different-2 datasets with different fileds which are getting populated through two stored procedures with same input parameters.each datsets have different colums and no of columns around 180,my concern is how will i use these two different datsets in single report with two differents fields(two differnt tables).for one dataset i have used report wizard,but not able to figure out for the second dataset.Please suggest for the same..
You can use two different datasets in different reports regions on one Report. For example, If you have two datasets, lets say DS1 showing EmployeeDetail and DS2 showing SalesInfo. You can use them separately in two tables one showing Employees Details and other showing Sales Info. If you plan to merge this data and use it in one table, These are option.
Recommended option : Re-write your query to create single dataset containing possible data you want to show in tabular fashion.
Would work but would be lot slower : Use DS1 in a table in Main Report where each row contains Epmloyee Detail, Wihtin that Row call a Sub-Report passing EmployeeDetail's key which is related to a column in SalesInfo. Create sub-report showing SaledInfo data, call this report in main report passing key value from DS1 to this sub-report.
Specify data set name in third column
Example:
=First(Fields!fieldname.Value,"DataSet1")
Using two different or multiple datasets in a report is not a problem at all, as long as they do not belong to the same data region (charts, tables, etc.)
In addition to Ron's answer, if you are looking to get data from different datasets in one data region, you could also use Lookup or LookupSet in the field expressions.
Additionally, you may also create one dataset and filter out some data from it in data regions. For example, if you have one big dataset of all employees, and you would like to display all employees that joined in the year 2012 in a table, you could filter out the dataset using Filter properties of table.
You can simply add multiple table in your report , and change datasetName from tablix properties for each of your table .
you will also need binding source to fill that dataset .
this.invoiceTableAdapter.Fill(this.ARQutationDataSet.invoice);
