I have created a standard table with about 15 columns in it. The table has only 1 group being the Details row group as it a pretty simple table. The thing I am having trouble with is toggling the last 5 columns, I want them to be hidden by default and only available by selecting a + icon. I would also like all 5 to be displayed by selecting the 1 + icon so once the icon has been selected all 5 appear rather than 1 + icon per column (5).
Is this possible?
Thanks
Yes, this is possible. Highlight the first column you want to have toggled and right click. Select Column Visibility from the select list. The click on Hide and click the Display Can Be Toggled By This Report Item checkbox. Select the report item that you want to click on to toggle the columns. Go through each column one by one and do the same thing. If you select the same report item to toggle by for each column, clicking the report item will reveal all of them.

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 working on a requirement that allow me to show columns when a user clicks on "+" (expand a row), and hides the column when a user clicks on "-" collapse a row.
So for example, when all rows are collapsed, report looks like:
When a user click on A to expand the a row in the report, then report should look like
Please note that COL4 only shows up when a row expands.
I have tried to set the visibility properties but the result I am getting like
If I am trying to set the header textbox properties getting an error like.
"toggle item must be the text boxes that share the same scope as hidden item or are in a scope that contains the hidden item, and cannot be contained within the report item unless current grouping scope has a parent"
I am Using Matrix Table
The problem is that clicking on a Col1 toggle will only be able to hide elements contained within your table grouping (which doesn't include the header of your col2) and you will see the error you mention above, "toggle item must be the text boxes that share the same scope...".
You can place a textbox outside of your table area and that will be able to toggle the column visibility, but that would expand the values for all col1 one grouped values and will not be what you are looking for. Unfortunately you cannot do exactly what you are looking for; the best option is the one you show above.
We have one requirement in SSRS where we need to display the tablix on click of the Image. By default tablix will be hidden, when user clicks on the Image then we need to show the hidden tablix. Kindly suggest some solution if any. Thanks.
You can toggle the visibility of an object. Initially have the visibility property set to hidden, then use the toggleitem property to accomplish what you are looking for. Instructions are below
To hide static rows in a table, matrix, or list:
In report design view, click the table, matrix, or list to display
the row and column handles.
Right-click the row handle, and then click Row Visibility. The Row Visibility dialog box opens.
To set the visibility, follow steps 3 and 4 in the first procedure.
To hide static columns in a table, matrix, or list
In Design view, select the table, matrix, or list to display the row and column handles.
Right-click the column handle, and then click Column Visibility.
In the Column Visibility dialog box, follow steps 3 and 4 in the first procedure.
Then use the ToggleItem property of the table. Select the table, locate the property in the Properties window and specify the name of the textbox. If you now render the report you'll notice a little + icon in front of the testingBox content.
To find out what your textbox is called first select that and look at the bold part in top of the Properties window. To change it you can use the Name property. It's advisable to give it a clear name so you can easily locate it.
Say I have got a table with two columns:
The first one belongs to the parent row, the second one the child row. With generic data the output might look something like this:
column1 column 2
1
a
b
2
c
d
e
3
f
g
I have set the visibility of the child group (here in column 2) to be toggled by the values in the parent group (which here are in column 1).
E.g., the values "c, d, and e" can be toggled by clicking a + sign next to "2".
Now comes my problem:
I would like to make certain parts of the table disappear. For example, I would like the parent group "3" including the child member "f, g" not to be shown in my table. For this, I would have to set the visibility of the parent as well as the child group to something like
=Fields!Parentgroup.Value=3.
However, when doing so, the first row of group "3" stays visible because of the toggle option.
A possible workaround would be to limit the toggle option only to rows containing certain data - but my researches showed this is not possible.
Any ideas for other workarounds? Any help is greatly appreciated!
If you want to completely remove section 3 from the report, then you could put a filter on the dataset or on the table/matrix. If you want it to toggle, then you have to keep the toggle element visible.
the below links provides an option to remove [+] sign against those rows where details section doesn't contain any data.
SSRS 2008 - How to hide the plus icon in a group visibility toggle cell
how do i hide the toggle image if there is no row when using drilldown
I have this setup for my report, (Produkt = Product, Belopp = Amount)
I have set the properties for the Quarter & Months as following:
Hidden: True
InitialToggleState: False
ToggleItem: Quarter (for Months) & Year (for Quarter)
I am getting these extra lines which are placed were the expanded information (quarter & months) will be placed.
The result is the following:
Here you can see the space I need don´t want to be there...
As you can see I have also merged the cells under "Produkt" for nicer looks. This has no impact on the result.
Next view when expanding Quarter:
Next view when expanding Months:
Now, I would like to NOT see the extra space when open the report, how can i achieve this?
It is not enough to simply set it in the properties. Need to do some more.
In Report Desiner, right-click on the tablix row, select "Row Visibility...", set to "When the report is initially run" to be "Hide", check "Display can be toggled by this report item" checkbox, select the name of your toggler text box in the drop down.
Same can be done to columns.
You might have a conflict where multiple controls are all trying to set the visibility property on one or more cells within that row, and you're ending up with the space for the row being taken, but the content remaining hidden until the [+] is clicked.
Look into what is affecting the visibility of that row - via properties, grouping, or toggle items.
This would typically mean that you're using the hide and show from the properties box of the row... to remove the blank spaces you need to do it by right clicking on the row and selecting the tablix properties and changing the toggle item in the visibility section.
