I have a SSRS report with two tables. One is built from the SQL code and made up of expressions - it's basically a report card that creates a new row for each subject that the student studies.
Below that, I have created another table which only has text, and is in no way utilizing the SQL dataset. However, for every row created by the first table, the second table is duplicated. For example, if the student has 7 subjects, then the second table will be repeated 7 times. Is there any way to prevent this?
The easiest option is to use textbox instead of table if you are only using that table as a text area but if you don't want to use a textbox just delete the details group that gets set up by default during creation of table. http://prntscr.com/8wy2by. So that leaves the header only and it will not repeat. If you want to add more row you could right click on the left side of that header and select insert row. See this image http://prntscr.com/8wy2lc.
I hope you get the point. :)

I am trying to achieve something in SSRS but not able to do so. I have around 3000 records in my table, but when I try to Preview that in SSRS report it is taking 103 pages to display. I tried to have two tables on the same page pointing to same dataset, but one table shows odd records and the other table shows even records with the help of rownumber(). With this I reduced my pages to 27.
I want the data to be displayed serially in one table, and when it reaches the end of the page it should transfer the next record to another table on the same page. I am attaching a table that I want to include in my report.
Alter the white outer space in design view to the minimum.
Go into report properties and select columns , amend value to 2.
I have a data set where i'm using a table to display Name, Radio #, and Unit # information in SSRS tablix. As some of the groups have 60+ members, i thought it would be better to expand the tables into 4 columns repeating those detail fields instead of displaying a 3 page long skinny table. In the SQL i used a row count%4 function to assign a "position" number 0-3 for each name. If i create a table with the detail members above and then add a parent column group on position, i get the tables repeated as i want but each name/radio/unit appears on a unique row. I've tried several different ways of grouping rows/columns but always seem to get this staggered table (with only name/radio to make it easier to digest): sample_pic
Sorry if this is a duplicate. I've really searched quite a bit before putting this in but it's probably the case that if i knew what to search, i wouldn't be putting this question in. So if you'd rather tell me what to search i can do that too. :)
SSRS will display a row in the table for each row returned from the dataset, this is normal behaviour for data to display.
One way to get what you want is to create a query which has all the information form your column headings in one row, probably with a pivot or similar.
Or you could just display your columns in separate tables.
Currently I am upgrading a crystal report as an SSRS format. But this report has been tricky in which it has multiple group headers that have sub headers and data associated to them.
I have been researching for about an hour or so attempting different solutions to replicate the report and the solution that I thought would work below seems to be close but I can't get the fields to be a stepped as how it is in the crystal report where the rows are stacked neatly with data presented for each row.
Solution found online that is pretty close but does not have a result of data stepped:
Insert Table
First field make a parent row group and have "add group header" checked
Right click on parent field just created and select to insert "new row outside below"
Drag over sub field name
With data fields needing to be present under sub field I added those as child fields
Images of my work:
After some trials runs I finally figured out the setup:
Insert Table
Right click on "Details" in row groups
Add parent group of you first header row in your report (mine was scheduled ship date)
Right click details and add another parent for your second header row as so its above "Details" but below your first parent group
Now things may look strange since you have two columns with your parents
Now what you want to do is have only one column in your table that consists of three rows
What you will now do is copy the bracket values for instance [sch_ship_date] over to the column and do the same for the second parent group
Once that is done you will delete the first two columns since they were extra created during the adding parent groups process
So now you should only have one table that contains your two parent groups in order and an empty details field (your third row)
Now since the groups are embedded technically you will delete the values in the fields but do not delete the groups you added.
After there are no values in your table but you still have three rows you will insert a rectangle for each row. Each rectangle will be a place holder for your data set fields.
For the fields your data set fields you want to set there properties as "keep contents together on a single page"
I am trying to repeat the table data for showing 2 list based on in-out time. So I have copy-paste the table and applied filter function based on in-out time to single dataset. I can view two table in report output as it is but when exporting to PDF table gets overlapped on each other. Also filter seems to get applied to only one table.
How we can tackle PDF export issue?
What are best way to repeat table using single dataset?
Insert a list into the report.
If you can group the row group on something that will generate two rows then brilliant - you will only need one tablix in the list.
If that is not possible, group the row group on 1. Then insert a new row group adjacent below, also grouped on 1. On the new row that has appeared in the list, insert a new rectangle. Now you can past a copy of the tablix into each rectangle, and page break on the row groups instead of the tables.
The groups & rectangles will prevent overlapping when exporting to PDF.
I am creating a report in SSRS. I have a table showing the date and time the report was generated, it's a single column table with one expression =Now() and is not linked to any datasets.
The trouble I am having is that it returns 77 rows all with the exact same date. My main dataset returns 77 rows in a different table but that table is not linked to this one in any way.
How can I stop it from returning so many rows? The reason I'm using a table and not a text box is because I want it to have the same look and feel as other data presented in my report i.e. Header Row and Data Presented underneath. There are a few tables that use the same approach and all of them are returning duplicate rows. As you can see from the image below, I just need the first row from each table.
EDIT: Looks like SSRS automatically references a dataset when I insert a new table. When I change the table properties dataset to none it returns an error. Is there a way around this? I don't want data from any dataset, just want to use an simple expression =now()
As you've seen, a Tablix requires a DataSet, and when you only have one DataSet in a report it will link to this DataSet automatically in some circumstances.
You've mentioned you don't want to use Textboxes, but this does seem like the easiest option.
If you're set on using a Tablix for ease of formatting, to prevent any repeating rows just delete the Details group that gets set up by default when you create a Table through the designer:
This leaves a table with one header row only - you can add more header rows as required:
The result is a table that will only display the header rows once, i.e. no repeating rows.
You can add Summary data or individual fields from the DataSet to these header rows; if no aggregation is specified it will just take the first row by default.
