Show Columns from differents Datasets - reporting-services

I am designing a report and have some doubts.
Actually i have 2 dataset (A (MainDataSet) and B)
In the report I am showing columns from A and I would like to show columns from B (as a group). I have used LookUp function but it is only showing me only 1 column from B.
I would like to show every column. For that I tried to use LookUpSet but I dont want to join the result. I would like to get as a single column.
There is a relation between A to B, 1:m.
I hope you had understand it.
Many thanks.

In your table properties set the DataSetName as DataSet B, the one with your Player data. Then use a Lookup expression to get a single record from MainDataSet A, i.e. the team and country for that player that year.
The expression here joins the datasets by year and position, but you may need an extra field to make sure each player appears in the correct team.
=Lookup(Fields!YEAR.Value + Fields!PLAYER_POSITION.Value,
Fields!YEAR.Value + Fields!POSITION.Value
Fields!COUNTRY.Value, "MainDataSet")
(This assumes that your two datasets come from different Data Sources. If they have the same source, it's typically easier to include all your data in a single dataset.)

SSRS - Sum columns where condition exists

I have an SSRS report, where there are groups (in this case Mills 1-4), each one having a product milled and the tons produced (for example).
I need to add up the 4 groups (ton produced), wherein each group, the product = this.
Like if Mill#1 made product X and Mill#4 also made product X, then I need to add the "tons" produced fields for these two.
If all the Mills made the same product, then the sum would be for "tons produced" for all 4.
Example below:
I would want to add tons produced for the two rows in green where the product = M120
Example of data
"
To make it work the way you want, you'll need to use a Matrix with the columns as your product.
You'll need to add a matrix. Use the MILL for your row column grouping. Use the Product as the Column grouping. Add the TONS as the Data. You can right-click on the TONS and Insert Column -> Inside Group if you also want to add another column - say for the Hours.
Left click on the Tons and you can automatically add the Column Total and Row Total.
For more info, see MS Docs - Create a Matrix.

I need to join four dataset results into one tablix

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.

Get value of table row

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.

use two different datasets in single report

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);

Fill cells depending of dataset values

I have a table like this one below. I have one dataset which returns data like this:
Day Hour Title
-----------------------
Monday 2 Title1
Monday 4 Title2
Friday 5 Title3
.
.
.
.
I need to fill the table depends of values in dataset, ie. first row of dataset will take place where first column(Monday) intersect with second row(2.).
How can I do this task.
I am using SSRS 2008.
Use a matrix.

EDIT: This interesting blog post shows how you can build a calendar in SSRS.
Problem solved
First, on database, I am creating two Common Table Expression or CTE, for days and hours respectively. Then, I am make CROSS JOIN between them, and thus form a one relation. Then I make left join with rest of needed tables, to get values (if exist, of course) for each combination from CROSS JOIN.
On reports, I am create matrix, related to dataset, which is linked with previously created stored procedure. For column group, I choose days, for row group I choose hours, on intersect I place specific values.
Really simple, but great job is done with cross joined two CTE's.
