I have a report that uses grouping in SSRS. The group is collapsed on load and when I expand each group, I can see the individual records. I have a field for each row that shows if its an "Error" and "Info". I did give a different background color for the row like this
= IIF(Fields!Loglevel.Value = "ERROR", "Maroon", "NoColor")
and it shows me erros with a different background color.
But what I am trying is to give the whole group a background color if there is at least one error inside it. Can anyone suggest me a way to do this? I tried for backgroup color for the group and I don't see it. Please suggest a way!
Thanks
You need to sum up when Loglevel.Value = "ERROR" using an IIF statement, but you need to do it for the SCOPE of your group.
The scope is the name of the group, eg tblMain_Group1, or whatever you entered when you created the group
Then use that as the criteria for your background colour for the data row
=IIF(SUM(IIF(Fields!Loglevel.Value="ERROR",1,0),"tblMain_Group1")>0,"Maroon","Transparent")

My company has reporting standards that require the lines of a table to alternate in color for readability purposes. I know how to do that, however the latest report that I am working on has conditional visibility on each line.
What happens is that the alternating background color gets applied to the table before the visibility condition gets checked, leaving a the report with no pattern of background color to speak of.
I have searched for any kind of setting to change when certain property expressions get applied to a table. There doesn't seem to be one.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
This article deals with the RowNumber function in SSRS. It contains an example of alternating row colors in the Tablix.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/reporting-services/report-design/report-builder-functions-rownumber-function?view=sql-server-ver15
=IIF(RowNumber("GroupbyCategory") Mod 2, "White", "PaleGreen")
I found the solution here:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/8365ca9b-7a50-4024-a706-4516ed12c038/how-to-maintain-alternating-row-background-colors-while-making-blank-rows-invisible?forum=sqlreportingservices
Instead of applying the formatting across all rows, I only apply it using the same visibility conditions that hides the rows in question. The example in the link uses blank rows where I will use some extra logic instead.
i currently have the row background colour set with expression that is;
=IIF(ROWNUMBER(NOTHING) MOD 2,"White","Silver")
However on some rows it seems that colour is not alternating and staying the same like the image below. Does any one know why this may be happening
The expression itself is fine, it's the scope that's the problem. The ROWNUMBER function gives different results based on which groups it's in within your matrix. You are currently using Nothing as the argument which tells it to use the default scope. You will need to look into overriding that with the correct group name so that the row numbers are calculated relative to the scope you actually want.
I have a report with the number of attendees by month shown and rows grouped on an "Attended" or "Did Not Attend" Attendance_Indicator flag (this in itself is a sub-group of a higher level of grouping).
For legibility I wanted any row of Attended data with a coloured background (say LightGrey) and any other rows transparent.
I have highlighted the cells within the table at this grouping level and used the expression below:
=IIF(Fields!Attendance_Indicator.Value = "Attended","LightGrey","Transparent")
This partial works in that where the count of attendees is >0 the cells' background colour changes to grey. However, in cells where the count of attendees is 0 the background remains transparent.
Can anyone advise how I can get any cells, whatever the count value, on the Attended row to change background?
IsNothing is your friend here. You may need to fiddle with the logic for your colours (e.g. NOT IsNothing rather than IsNothing)... but you get the idea.
=IIF(IsNothing(Fields!Attendance_Indicator.Value) OR Fields!Attendance_Indicator.Value) = "Attended","LightGrey","Transparent")
I have an issue here with a column operation. I have 2 DrillDown s for this particular Table.I have a column which returns 1 (Flag) on a particular date. This is the detailed row.
Now , on top of the flag at the second level i do SUM(Flag) and returns "RED" if it is above 3. Now on the first level I want to create another Background change to "RED" if the value of SUM(Flag) at the second level is >3 or
Change color at the First level, if the textbox color of SUM(Flag) is "RED"
Can you please help me out on this.
Thank you
What you need to do is add a grouping reference to your SUM expressions. For example:
=iif(SUM(Fields!Flag.Value, "FirstLevelGroup") > 3,"Red",Nothing)
This allows you to control which scope you are referencing with your sums. Make sure you modify this to match the name of your group, which is at the bottom of the screen. Also make sure you place this expression in BackgroundColor field, not in the textbox itself.
Is there a way to determine when a Grouping has changed in SSRS 2005?
For example, if you are grouping on OrderID, displaying the Order Header info, and the details are the Order_Items etc... Is there an event to check for to tell when the "new" OrderID has appeared?
Are you able to somehow compare the current OrderID to the previous OrderID in the group?
I have multiple groupings in a report, and this group in particular is the 3rd group, and on the Grouping change, I want to make the border of the Group Header solid. There are certain occasions depending how the groups change, the boarder is left as "None" and it looks odd in the report.
Edit: (Here is an Image Example)
I have managed it so far by adding an additional row to another grouping, and making the row height .03125. It gives off the desired appearance, but I thought there was a way to tell when the grouping changed. Maybe grouping row number = 0 or something?
Theres not really an event, but you should know that when you create a group you can include a group footer within the group. The groups details ends once it hits the footer of the group.
I personally like to use this to create row border style (bottom) with a line to get a nice effect allowing me to see when the group is complete.
Something to this effect:
