I am trying to use LookupSet in SSRS so that I concatenate a list into one textbox.
dataset1
TYPE |DESC
fruit |apple
fruit |orange
furit |grape
Results in
apple; orange; grape
Here is my ssrs textbox expression
=JOIN( lookupset( Fields!TYPE.Value,Fields!TYPE.Value, Fields!DESC.Value, "dataset1"), "; ")
It works as expected, until I add a second dataset to my report. The dataset does not have any of the same fieldnames used by my lookup expression. I do not change my textbox expression. My lookupset function is still referring to dataset1. I just get the error:
The Value expression for the text box ‘TEXTBOX1’ refers directly to the
field ‘TYPE’ without specifying a dataset aggregate. When the report
contains multiple datasets, field references outside of a data region must
be contained within aggregate functions which specify a dataset scope.
When I delete the second dataset, everything is works.
How can I use the LookupSet function in a report with multiple datasets?

In SSRS, I have a summary report, and when I click on any figures, it drills through a subreport that generate a list of skus.
I have setup the cells in the summary report and selected all Parameter for the drill through report.
For a multi-value parameter in the subreport, I want to manually select 2 out of 3 available values.
In the textbox property, under Action and parameters, What is the expression to specify the values I want to pass to my subreport?
1,2 - If your parameter is a integer. Don't use the expression with an equals sign, just 1,2 in the parameter value.
If your parameter is a string, I believe you need to double the double quotes.
""1"",""2""
You could also use the SPLIT function to create a string array from the hard-coded values:
=Split("1,2", ",")
Neither formula worked, but at the end, I just modified the list of available value on the subreport and added another value. Then, in the dataset query, I adjusted the WHERE clause so that when the paramater has said value, the field IN ("1","2")
I am writing a report in SSRS. Can i use the text result from a textbox to pull a Field from one of my datasets?
For example:
In Textbox1, i have the formula =First(Fields!Metric1.Value, "Dataset2") which produces the text result: "BikeSales" in Textbox1
I need an expression in Textbox2 that references a Field called BikeSales in DataSet1 based on the result. Something like: =Sum(Fields.("Text from Textbox1").Value, "Dataset1") to pull the Field from Dataset 1.
Is this possible?
If all you want to do is reference the Textbox1 value.. you can use Reportitems!Textbox1.value
If you want the value from the actual dataset, you can use lookup
I have two Tablix: Tablix A and Tablix B:
Each Tablix is connected to different datasets as illustrated in the image below:
How do I populate Tablix B by looking up data in Tablix A?
For example: Tablix A contains Vehicle models but I also need to populate Tablix B with Vehicle colors using the VehicleID in both dataset.
Using a Lookup Function, this only works if both datasets are references in the same tablix, how do I do this using separate tablix?
Attempting to use separate tablix, I get the below error:
[rsFieldReference] The Value expression for the text box
‘Textbox57’ refers to the field ‘VehicleColor’.
Report item expressions can only refer to fields within the current dataset scope or,
if inside an aggregate, the specified dataset scope.
Letters in the names of fields must use the correct case.
Illustration:
You can use "lookup" to get a single value from another dataset. For example:
=Lookup(Fields!VehicleID.Value, Fields!VehicleID.Value, Fields!VehicleColour.Value, "Vehicles")
would bring out a single (the first in the dataset) VehicleColour where the IDs matched. If there is only a single match of ID between the two datasets, then the correct colour would be returned.
=LookupSet(Fields!VehicleID.Value, Fields!VehicleID.Value, Fields!VehicleColour.Value, "Vehicles")
brings out an array, which can only be displayed in a textbox if it's converted into a string using join:
=join(LookupSet(Fields!VehicleID.Value, Fields!VehicleID.Value, Fields!VehicleColour.Value, "Vehicles"), ", ")
which will bring out a comma separated list of all VehicleColours where the IDs match.

I have three related three dataset like these
I need to display "INVOICE_CODE" from DatasetA concatenate with "COUNTRY_NAME" from DatasetC Example :
"INV123-Korea"
I tried to use "Lookup" function by this step
1.) First table is used for main table in a report.
So I will assign DatasetA to my tablix1
2.) At Tablix1, rigth click on a cell and create expression via
3.) Put this concept code. (A--->B--->C)
=Lookup(A.FK,B.PK, Lookup(C.FK,B.PK,C.ANS,"Dataset C") , "Dataset C")
But It's not work.
In this case using Lookup function is not my first preference but if you want to accomplish using lookup you can do something like this.
=Lookup(
Lookup(Fields!Customer_Code.Value,
Fields!Customer_Code.Value,
Fields!Country_Code.Value,
"Dataset B"),
Fields!Country_Code.Value,
Fields!Country_Name.Value,
"Dataset C")
Note: SSRS is case sensitive so make sure you are using correct casing for your fields and Dataset names.
Lookup function returns only the matching value for the dataset you referenced. There is another SSRS function LookupSet which can be used to return the set of matching values based on name/value pair.
First lookup you get Country_Code from DataSet B by supplying the customer_Code value from the Dataset A.
Second Lookup function will use the result of first lookup function to get the Country_Name from the DataSet C.
To show both Invoice from Dataset A and Country_Code from DataSet C. Create two placeholders. In the first placeholder directly put =Fields!Invoice.Value and in the second place holder ut the above lookup expression.
I thought this would be simple, but i must be missing something
here is my expression
=Sum(ReportItems!ID.Value)/Sum(ReportItems!NumberofUnits.Value)
I get this error.
The Value expression for the textbox 'textbox14' uses an aggregate function on a report item. Aggregate functions can be used only on report items contained in page headers and footers.
I really just want to divide those two report item values.
You cannot use an aggregate function (SUM) on a ReportItem. remember that a ReportItem is a textbox or other object inside the report. So either change your expression to:
ReportItems!ID.Value/ReportItems!NumberofUnits.Value
Or in case your ID and NumberofUnits reportitems are inside the context of a dataset (for example, in a tablix), and both of them corresponds to fields in the dataset, do this:
Sum(Fields!ID.Value)/Sum(Fields!NumberofUnits.Value)
You may optionally specify the scope over which the SUM function should work, by adding the name of the scope (for example dataset name, tablix name, group name) as a 2nd argument to the SUM function.
