I'm on VS2012 SSRS and trying to do a report prepared for each AgentID. The agent needs to see his bar highlighted and IDs for other agents should be hidden.
We agreed I can go with plan A putting or planB completely hiding IDs other than the selected one from horizontal label.
I've illustrated this in the picture with ID 22222.
I managed to highlight the bar with an expression on the fill property of the series. But I'm not sure how to modify the axis label individually. I think that the property for axis label refers to the label for every group. I can hide all of them, but can't manipulate them individually.
In the category group properties you can dynamically assign the axis label for the entry. This is on a value-by-value basis and only effects the labels, not the grouping. So if you have multiple labels that end up the same they won't end up grouped together.
So in your case the expression for the label would probably be something like
=IIF(Fields!AGENT_ID.Value=Parameters!AGENT_ID.Value,Fields!AGENT_ID.Value," ")
Do note: I've used a space(" ") and not just an empty string(""). Using an empty string SSRS will fill the empty categories with numbers. A space will blank out the category name.

I have a report that lists parts required for a job, and then within each part it has rows that show locations and quantities of parts on-hand. The main list has a header (part number, description, quantity) which is only shown once at the top because it is not within the grouping. However, the second header (on-hand quantity, location) is within the grouping so it repeats. I would like it to only show once.
I have tried using the hide duplicates property for the header text boxes, but this still leaves blank rows. I have also tried setting the row visibility using a comparison between ReportItem!lblOnHand.Value and Previous(ReportItem!lblOnHand.Value) but this gives me an aggregate error.
This is what the report is displaying now:
You need to set the row visibility rather than the individual text boxes. Right-click the row header to access the setting..
You should (untested) be able to use the same logic as you have now. If this does not work then you will need to test if the group is the first group and use that in the expression, something like...
=Fields!Partnumber.Value <> FIRST(Fields!Partnumber.Value, "myGroupOrDatasetNameHere")
The above would hide thew row if the part number in the current context is not the same as the first part number in the group or dataset name specified.
I put a table and a textbox in the body area.
There are three columns in the talble, ItemType, ItemId, ItemName
Page breaks when ItemType changed.
The expression of the textbox is "=First(Fields!ItemType.Value, "DataSet1")".
Set RepeatWith property to "Talix1".
When Report runs, in the 1st page, the value of the textbox is "Green" .
but 2nd page the value is still "Green". In fact I want to see "Red"
What should I do to change the value when page breaks?
thank you for your help.
Report Design Result
Because the text-box is currently outside of any data-set context, the value will not change. The expression is grabbing the first value in the data-set each time. Changing the page will not change the first value in the data-set.
You are going to have to put your text-box, and table, inside a List. Once that is done, set the group properties of the List to group, and page break, based on item type (ItemType). You can set these from the context menu you get when you right-click the Details for the List in the Row Groups pane, and choose Group Properties.
You can remove the grouping from the table since the List will handle that now.
By doing this, you now have your text-box in a data-set context. The expression for the value of the text-box can be changed to something like the following.
=First(Fields!ItemType.Value)
The scope is no longer needed since that too is set by the List.
Hope this helps you out.
I have a report containing a Tablix/table with sets of rows and columns which I am hiding conditionally using Expressions, via the Column/Row Visibility dialog.
If for example I have 3 columns which I want to all have the same Expression to determine their visibility, is there any way for me to achieve this without opening the Column Visibility dialog for each Column and entering the appropriate Expression?
I've tried selecting multiple columns, but then the right-click context menu no longer offers the Column Visibility option (it's greyed out) and I have also tried out the Hidden property of the columns (which can be amended in bulk by selecting multiple columns), but this only stops the columns from being rendered, leaving a blank space where they used to be (rather than how Column Visibility works, where columns to the right of the hidden columns are moved across to fill the gap, like hiding columns in an Excel sheet).
Is it possible to achieve what I'm after, or will I have to continue opening the Column/Row Visibility dialog for each column/row I wish to conditionally hide/show?
If the columns you want to control the visibility for are next to each other, you can create a Column Group for them and manage the visibility via the Group.
Add a new column group at the appropriate level so that only the relevant columns will be included.
If you already have Column Groups this will likely be a Child Group or an Adjacent Group.
If not, you can create an initial Column Group by dragging a Dataset field from the Report Data into the Groups pane.
Insert new columns inside the new group, and move the data from your existing relevant columns into the group.
The new group does not need to repeat, so in it's properties window set Group on: to a plain text value, e.g. "1".
Input the desired visibility settings into the Visibility page of the properties window.
For each of the individual columns inside the group set the Hidden property to False, to remove any other expressions or settings that might interfere.
Not exactly what you are looking for but perhaps a midway point - and this can apply to many things other than visibility (e.g. background colour, tooltip) - edit the RDL directly using View Code. This has the added benefit of being able to implement changes that are almost identical per column instead of identical with a minimum of mouse usage.
Typically I have set one column up the way I like it in the designer and then copy/paste under the other columns. In the case of visibility look for <TablixColumnHierarchy><TablixMemebers>. You will see a list of empty <TablixMember /> items along with the expanded <TablixMember><Visibility><Hidden>=... block where you have set up one column. Simply copy paste that block over the empty items at the position of interest (you will need to count it out unfortunately as there are no identifiers).
Bonus Tip: If you make a mistake or want to change something later, you can do a replace on all expressions at once (optional regex allowed).
Remember to backup or check in your work first because the designer may not open that report again correctly if you make a mistake :-)
Select the columns you want to conditionally hide and press F4 to see the Properties Window. Look for the Visibility node and use the Hidden property to set the conditionally expression.
The expression should evaluate to True for hiding and False for showing.
Let me know if this helps.
I have 5 visualizations in my rdl file. After each visualization I have a ABOUT Textbox which should be filled from a database table and it has html content to render.
Consider a table with 5 rows having visualization name and ABOUT Text.
<table><tr><th>visualization Name</th><th>About Text</th><th></th><th></th><th></th></tr><tr><td>Visualization1</td><td><B>Table1</B></td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Visualization2</td><td><I>Table2</I></td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Visualization3</td><td><B>Chart1</B></td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Visualization4</td><td><I>Chart2</I></td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Visualization5</td><td><B>PieChart1</B></td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr></table>
I have created a DataSet which would pull all 5 rows along with 2 columns. And I want to link each row's AboutText field to each TextBox of individual visualization. Of course I'll have to use filters. But there is no option for adding filters in TextBox expression. And I don't want to create 5 separate DataSets for just rendering purpose.
How would I achieve this in SSRS 2016?
Create a tablix and put your visualisation in one row and your About Text in the next row as a child group. Set the child groups visibility to be toggled on the parent group and your will be able to expand and collapse the About Text row by clicking on a little + icon that will appear next to your Visualisation.
There are a few ways you could do this. One option is to add an ID column to your dataset. Then in each textbox you can use the Lookup function to get the appropriate label. Another option is to insert a table with one cell next to each visualization. You can use the Filter property on the table to control which label is shown.
I am attempting to reproduce a form within SSRS and fill it with data. The original form has blocks with small labels inside of each box that identifies the entry requested.
I "thought" I could simply use two different tablixes: one for the blocks with borders and labels, and the other one with the actual datafields or expressions, and align the 2nd tablix directly over the first one so that it appears as though the fields are presenting data inside of the labeled boxes.
It looked as I wanted it in design view, but when I went to preview the report, it pushed the 2nd tablix below the first tablix, in effect creating two tablixes, one stacked on top of the other one (not displaying as how I intended).
So, how do I accomplish the form design in the manner that I am seeking?
You should be using a type other than tablix for your report. Use a 'List' instead and you can free float objects as you need them and also nest a tablix as well. A little explanation on list:
You can float images with text boxes and then even change syntax or draw boxes around them and decorate those.
The call out for a field in SSRS is [(value)] with the [] meaning: "Data Column in recognized Dataset"
You can call out Variables with an '#' in front of them [#Test] would be a variable a user would put in called 'Test'.
Whatever size 'List' element is will determine how large it is when it repeats. If you want a strict form ensure the length and width are set correctly on the properties of that element.
If you want it to break every page you can click on the 'List' > Right Click the top left corner > Properties > 'Add a page break before' checkbox.
My example shows a super simple textbox with a dataset that only has three ideas repeat as many times as there are id's, three times. You can apply this to your form as needed.
It looks like you could reproduce that form header quite easily with a single tablix. If you envisage the form as a set of tablix cells like so:
then all you need to do is set the Border properties for each cell to hide the borders as needed (or you could merge the cells e.g those for Applicant and Location).
You can use a tablix with only Header rows, deleting the detail row. If you need multiple forms per report, then put the tablix inside a List region.
