Need the exact # of rows in SSRS report - reporting-services

I have a report that I work with in Visual Studio 2013.
The Dataset Query for the report returns about 1,000 rows of data [I run it in SSMS].
The only Row Group is the report is "Details".
Because of a 3-level grouping in the Details Group, the number of rows actually showing on the report is 400.
How can I get the actual count of Rows in the report to display?
I have tried suggestions from other threads on the forum - but I always end up with the number of rows that the Dataset returns - not the number of rows that are actually on the report.
Is there a way to get a count of the rows on the report rather than the count of rows that the underlying Dataset returns?
Thanks!!

Add row count to your sql and have the ssrs pick up your max row_number value.
I run SQL developer for most of my testing before I drop it into SSRS. It' not Visual Studio but how I would do it may help you.
Select row_count() over (order by [unique value in row]) ROW_NBR, existing row information from tables where ...
Then in SSRS enter this in your cell
=MAX(ROW_NBR, "DataSet1")
OR!!!!
just use this
=Count([value in existing code], "DataSet1")
Widening the scope of the count to your entire dataset will give you a count of all values in the dataset

Use CountRows.
Returns a count of rows within the specified scope.
=CountRows("DataSet1")

Getting SSRS to aggregate as rows instead of columns

I've constructed a cube using SSAS, and I'm using that cube to fuel an SSRS report. Using Excel, I can generate reports as pivot tables from the SSAS source, and I'm trying to replicate some of that functionality as a report in SSRS instead.
Here's how I have the thing set up in Excel:
As you can see from the pictures, I have several stats that are being displayed per row rather than per column. The results that are displayed per row are aggregated statistics (sum, count, etc...).
How do I accomplish this same thing using SSRS? In Excel, it was simply a question of saying "Move to Row Labels".
You can create a Matrix, set the column group to be by fiscal calendar .
Within the row group you will need to add additional detail rows and place each value on the row.
This should give you the desired results more of less.

MDX of records returned

I'm building SSRS report. In Query Designer I have a report query. I need to count total records returned by this query.
How I can achieve this?
You can use MDX for counting rows and show the result in the report but that would imply the creation of an additional dataset. The easiest way if you need to show the count of rows is using COUNTROWS() function.
In a SSRS textbox, tablix or expression you need to get the total of rows of an specific dataset use:
=COUNTROWS("DataSetName")
Replace DataSetName by the actual name of the dataset you created using Query Designer.
Let me know if this helps.

SSRS Not Printing All Records for Dataset, but Counts Them

I have an SSRS report (see image) that looks for open discipline reports. When I run the SSRS Dataset query from SSMS, it outputs 19 records. When I print it through SSRS it only outputs 17 records, but shows a total count of 19. In the image below I've shown the report layout, partial SQL (SSMS) results, and the section of the SSRS Report with the two missing records (107 - Gore). I see that the case numbers for Gore are all NULL, but I'm not calling distinct anywhere that I know of, and the records themselves are not duplicates (different dates). I'm really puzzled at how SSRS can get the total right, but skip records at the same time. Printing the report and physically counting the records gives 17 records. Any ideas?
Original programmer had duplicate case numbers showing, and use a row group to hide them. I fixed this in the code. But when the case numbers for different cases were all null, the code was pulling them correctly but the row group was filtering out more than one null. People, fix things where they're broken, don't patch.

Get Row Count in SSRS Report Builder

I have built a report using Report Builder 3.0 (that uses SQL Server 2008 R2). Now i wish to now how many records are being fetched from database to the report?
This is possible either by count function in SSRS or by using RANK/ROW_NUMBER function in SQL Query and assigning that as field to the report (RANK/ROW_NUMBER would give us rank to each row and navigating to last page in report would help me getting the total row count).
I tried count function but that counts on some field in the report. For instance = Count(Field!FieldName.value, "DataSetName") Problem in this approach: "FieldName" is not unique in the report and hence the counts get repetitive
Second option: Added Rank/Row_Number but they too use the same kind of fieldName and hence here too the counts get duplicated.
Main Problem: There is no field in my query that is unique (and hence i tried ROW_NUMBER())
How can i find the total row count or rank (for each row) in SSRS 2008?
Use the CountRows function. For example
=CountRows("MyDataset")
will give you the number of rows in MyDataSet.
As someone else mentioned above, I couldn't get CountRows("DatasetName") to work in the header until I wrapped it thusly:CSTR(CountRows("DatasetName")).
In the Tablix control's properties, there's a property name called NoRowsMessage put your message here when no row is returned.
you can't put aggregation values into the detail wihtout grouping.
Solution is below:
=Count(Fields!rn.Value)
I use it inside the column/header row.
I found a workaround for this. First create a data column with the value always set to 1. This will provide a value of one for each row of data.
Query Column
, 1 AS Unit
Use the "RunningValue" function into your report as shown below.
=RunningValue(Fields!Unit.Value,Sum,"DataSet")
This will also work as a 'running sum' if that's something you're looking for.

How to display average in an SSRS table?

I am using SSRS 2008 and one of my rows is supposed to return the average of a certain field. But currently it just displays all of the rows instead of one row with the average. How do I implement this?
Currently the stored proc for this RDL file returns all of the records. So I tried using the "Avg(<field value>)" function in SSRS for the SSRS expression. And then I grouped this row on the <field value>. I removed filtering so it should average all rows now.
I'm guessing the cause is the grouping. Any ideas though?
I think you need a totals row. Right-click on the group and then Add Totals Then you should be able to put your Avg(<field value>) in that cell.
