I have a problem in SSRS reporting.
I have a data like this
BILLNO | AMT
----------+--------
123 | 1000.00
1223 | 2000.00
I need to show in table or list in following way
123:1000.00 1223:2000.00
I tried by applying column and row grouping on two unique keys but it didn't work for me
So you need to show both the values in the same cell?
Firstly, assuming that you want to display this in a vertical list, you can simply add both values to a single text box.
Add BillNo to the cell
Add a colon in plain text
Create a new placeholder in the textbox (by right clicking), and set the Value of this to =Fields!Amount.Value
The design looks like this
And the output like this
Alternatively, if you want them side by side, create a matrix with column groupings on BillNo (you can always delete the column header, but not the associated groupings to improve your layout if you wish)

Can someone please help me write a custom code that will check if the details of the row group = nothing? I'd like to use this as a show/hide expression such that table 0 will not display if there are no records within the group.
I can't seem to use aggregations for the row group details at the row group level.
Edit:
example 1 with a detail row
example 2 with without a detail row but the group header still displays. I'd like to hide this group completely:
OK, so it looks like you want to hide a table, not just a group within a table.
If this is not correct , please post your full report design.
You should be able to just count the rows in the dataset that the table is bound to.
So if your table is bound to `DataSet`` the 'Hidden' property would just be
=COUNTROWS("DataSet1") = 0
"DataSet1" is the name of the dataset, it is case sensitive and must be enclosed in double quotes.
The table will be hidden but the space it consumes will not be used, in other words, you will have a blank space where the table should be.
Alternatively, you can set the NoRowsMessage property to simple text message or an expression which will be displayed instead of just hiding the table.
I ended up using an IIF(IsNothing(Fields!MyField.Value), Parameters!ShowMissingGroup.Value,False) for the row group expression visibility then using a parameter to hide/show it.
Hi everyone,
I want to split the data in screenshot above into 2 columns. Currently the text and the date are combined in one column, my goal is to split the column into 2, so one column will be *AMC or *BMO and another column will be the date. For those cells without text (*AMC/*BMO), then the text column will be just empty.
I tried to use SPLIT function but there is no delimiter between the text and date, so I'm not sure how to split them. May I know is there any other way that I can use to split the column into 2? Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Assuming the data in column A, you could try
=ArrayFormula(if(len(A2:A), TRIM(regexextract(" "&to_text(A2:A), "(.+?|\s)(\d+\/\d+\/\d+)")),))
Change range to suit.
Alternatively, you can also try
=ArrayFormula(if(len(B2:B), {iferror(regexextract(" "&to_text(B2:B), "[A-Z*]+")), --regexextract(" "&to_text(B2:B), "(\d+\/\d+\/\d+)")},))
The latter option will make it possible to format the date as you wish.
My SSRS report contains 4 tables, all of which have line breaks at the bottom.
I'm trying to find a way to tie my text boxes (titles for each table) to only show up on the first page of the start of each table. I'm honestly at a loss for this particular issue.
--Unrelated --
Originally I had a parameter with a visibility expression and a toggle option to switch between each table, but due to a recent change request the entire report needs to be on one screen.
(=IIF(Parameters!SelectAScreen.Value = "InvoiceDetails",false,true))
I think if you add an extra row above your data (outside the group) and set the RepeatOnNewPage to False, it should work the way you want it too.
Some version of #StevenWhite's comment above is the only way I know to do this. One way to do it is to do a union with a dummy key to force the title row to the top of each table:
select 1 as dummyKey,
'Title text for table1'
union all
select 2 as dummyKey,
<columns> from <table1>
order by dummyKey, <other sort columns>
and repeat for each table's dataset.
If necessary you can also do conditional formatting to make the title row stand out and look like a title.
okay, this has got to be simple - but I can't seem to find an answer...
I am creating a summary report (using BIRT 2.6.1), and laying out a few specific summary values in a grid (not a table or a cube).
Say it's a simple query:
SELECT decision FROM dataTable
I created a data binding / aggregation (named "sumDecision") on my grid, of a type count, where my expression is:
dataSetRow["decision"]
Now, I've tried to insert this into a grid, either as "data" or "dynamic text" with the column binding:
row["sumDecision"]
But when I run the report, it comes up blank. How would I do this? Using dataSet["decision"] doesn't seem to do anything either.
I would create a Text Item (not Dynamic Text, just Text) and use the "Value Of" tags on the text item. This will give you an expression editor and as long as your grid is bound to the data set in question, you will be able to choose your data element there.
Since you just want to see the text in the grid, make sure and choose "HTML" for the format of the text item.
One solution is to create a table of 1 column, 1 detail - then delete the detail & header rows, and create my grid inside the footer of the table.
From here, I can add a dataset to the table, and create aggregations that work to my hearts content.
Is this the right way to do this, or am I missing something?
I am using SQL Server 2008 and I want to show 1 single field from a table in multiple columns in the report. Just like if I were to print labels. How can I achieve this?
Example:
Instead of printing:
Names Report
Andrea
Austin
Barbara
Bob
Bruno
Cathy
Chis
...
I want to print in columns (say 3 fixed columns):
Names Report
Andrea ---- Bruno ---- Darren
Austin ---- Cathy ---- Francis
Barbara ---- Chis ---- Gabriel
Bob ---- David ---- Gerald
....... ---- ....... ---- .......
Edit: If I run the report and click on "Print Layout" button, I can see multiple columns. Can I set this mode as default?
For Horizontal layout of labels...
One choice is to use the columns property on the report or body elements.
This doesn't always display correctly On reportviewer. I've noticed that even if it displays correctly on your IDE and when you export to PDF. In the report viewer it will display only one column. Also it snakes the labels top to bottom then left to right.
One choice is to use a matrix and group on every 3 rows (if you want 3 columns).
This one is a little complicated.
My solution of choice is to put 3 vertical lists on the page. put the same label in each list. Return the row number in your dataset. Then just filter each list on modulo 3
For example
Result set
RIndex Fname
1 abe
2 burt
3 fred
4 george
Filter expressions
list 1 -> =Fields!RIndex.Value mod 3 = =1
list 2 -> =Fields!RIndex.Value mod 3 = =2
list 3 -> =Fields!RIndex.Value mod 3 = =0
Result
Abe Burt Fred
George
The method I use is a bit similar as what Vern suggested but differs enough to make it worth mentioning here.
You can combine the ROW_NUMBER with the modulo (%) operator directly in the query to fabricate the column number in which the record should get displayed. Here's an example that generates one while taking a group into account:
declare #numberOfColumns int = 4;
select dpc.EnglishProductCategoryName, dp.ProductAlternateKey
, (ROW_NUMBER() OVER (
PARTITION BY dpc.EnglishProductCategoryName
ORDER BY dp.ProductAlternateKey) + #numberOfColumns - 1) % #numberOfColumns + 1
as DisplayColumn
from dbo.DimProduct dp
inner join dbo.DimProductSubcategory dps on dps.ProductSubcategoryKey = dp.ProductSubcategoryKey
inner join dbo.DimProductCategory dpc on dpc.ProductCategoryKey = dps.ProductCategoryKey;
To get this displayed I'm using nested tables which are then filtered on DisplayColumn.
Have a read through following article for all the details: Creating Multiple-Column Reports
Use the 'Report' menu in Visual Studio and select 'Report Properties'. You can set columns in the 'Layout' tab.
Try this msdn article about newsletter-style reports for more details: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159107.aspx
This method does have a limitation though so in some cases it might not be applicable:
Only PDF and Image renderers support
newsletter-style reports.
EDIT:
So one approach is to use multiple tablix with a filter that checks RowNumber and accordingly displays particular records in each table.
The other way is called Newsletter-style report (link). This formatting is retained only when report is exported as PDF or Image. It can be previewed only when you select 'Print Layout' on the Preview tab in Visual Studio. Here is an example:
Create a new report with the foll. dataset: SELECT ID,NAME FROM TABLENAME
Add a new table to the report and select the ID and Name as columns
Click on the tablix and press F4 to edit the tablix properties. In the properties window, change the Size - set the width to 2in
Click on the report area outside the report page boundary and press F4 to edit the report properties. In the properties window, change the Column value to 3, and column spacing value to 0.1
On the report scroll to the right hand side, you will notice that there are 2 new columns (so totally 3 columns on the report - because you selected 3 in step 4 above). Now click on the margin at the start of the column 2 and pull it further to the left to bring it as close to the column 1. This is only to reduce the need for huge page size.
Right click on the report area outside the report page boundary and select Report Properties. Change the Page Size - Set the width to 10in
Preview the report. Now select the 'Print Layout' tab to see the result. This formatting is retained only when report is exported as PDF or Image.
As noted in points 5 and 6 - since the report body flows into multiple columns, you must ensure that the page size is at-least equal to -> ([Original report body size times the number of columns] + all the column spacing values). Otherwise it will look messy.
