I am working on a matrix report in SSRS and currently have a column for each day. e.g day 1, 2, 3,4,5 and so on. I would like to merge those columns for the first 5 days so days 1-5 in column and name it <5. I have been working on expressions using if statements and switch but still not working.
Thanks
You can give a try to following steps:
Open dataset properties and under Fields, create a new calculated field (Let say name of the new field is YourDayFieldName_New) and put following expressions:
=IIf(Fields.YourDayFieldName.Value<=5,”<5”, CSTR(Fields.YourDayFieldName.Value))
Now in your matrix, do the column grouping on this calculated field (=Fields! YourDayFieldName_New.Value)

I have an SSRS line chart that I need to figure out how to hide empty data points - stop the line from making markers/continuing the line where Category Group values are zero:
The values and series and groups are setup as so:
With the data looking like this:
I have tried filtering both at the chart level and the Category Group levels to filter out data that would create groups for Series 2020 and Category October/November/December, this creating or filling those points in my mind:
Where the expression is "=DateSerial(YEAR(today()),MONTH(today()), 1)" achieving the net result of filtering out data points/rows that from an incomplete month - meaning when the report would be run on 10/10/2020, only data from before 10/1/2020 should be used to generate groups.
The problem is that you are using COUNT() which will always return a value, zero if there are no records to count.
I created a simple dataset and using count of FILE_NUMBER I got this (replicating your issue) ...
The easiest way round this is to change the value expression to something like this...
=SUM(IIF(Fields!FILE_NUMBER.Value = Nothing, 0, 1))
This way we add 1 to the sum for every non-empty value and nothing if it's empty. If the total sum is still empty, by default, the chart will not plot that point.
So we end up with this...
I have a table as shown below:
Table 1
I need to display data like below. I have tried using grouping but but i failed.
I have read some topics but can't find the solution. This should not be that hard.
Table 2
You can get that using LookupSet over a dumb group.
Add a tablix to your report and add a parent group in the Row Groups pane.
Use the below expression to create the group.
=1
That expression will create only one group, and you will have something like this in design.
Then use this expression in the highlighted cell in my screenshot above.
=join(
LookupSet(1,1,Fields!ColumnA.Value,"DataSetName")," - ")
Where Fields!ColumnA.Value is the field of X, Y and Z values, and DataSetName should be the name of your dataset.
You will get this result.
If you have repeated values in ColumnA they will appear repeated too in the cell. You will have to filter your dataset to get only unique values.
I've been struggling with an IIF error when trying to create a variable aggregate.
I'm using Report Builder 3.0
I have a report where users determine what fields are in a report. These fields are passed as a multivalue parameter. I use a lookup from a different dataset to determine its placement in the report, and using the same order dataset to determine if the field is numeric or not (meaning I want to sum the value based on row-level grouping). The headers pull in using the same field lookup, which works fine. At the row level I'm trying to return either the sum of the field value based on row grouping, or if non-numeric, return the value. Based on similar posts I understand that both the true and false parts are processed. I attempted to offset this error by nesting another IIF. If I remove the sum function the data returns non-numeric data fine. However if I include the sum function numeric data is processed fine however non-numeric data returns #error.
What am I missing?
Here is a definition of the data I'm referencing below:
lookupvalue: returns the fields selected by the user based on predefined order in a stored procedure.
Fieldisnumeric: indicates if the field selected is numeric or not, 0 is false, 1 is true
Fielditem: the field item in the tablix being referenced
dtsselectedfields: the dataset I'm looking up the column order and numeric properties of a field.
The number 1 indicates the first position in the variable count of fields selected by the user. Additional fields are hidden based on the count of fields passed in the parameter and are incremental (e.g 1-n).
=iif(Lookup(1, Fields!LookupValue.Value,
Fields!FieldIsNumeric.Value,"dtsSelectedFields")=0,
Fields(Lookup(1, Fields!LookupValue.Value, Fields!FieldItem.Value,
"dtsSelectedFields")).Value,iif(Lookup(1, Fields!LookupValue.Value,
Fields!FieldIsNumeric.Value, "dtsSelectedFields")=0,
Fields!MV.Value,sum(Fields(Lookup(1, Fields!LookupValue.Value,
Fields!FieldItem.Value, "dtsSelectedFields")).Value)))
****edit 12/1/2015****
For additional clarity, I'm providing additional details. Below is 'dtsSelectedFields' dataset.
FieldItem_____LookupValue_____FieldIsNumeric
Item1Desc__________1__________________0
Item1Total__________2__________________1
Item2Desc__________3__________________0
Item2Total__________4__________________1
Let's say I have one column of data, and this column would first look for a LookupValue of 1. This would return the FieldItem, 'Item1Desc'. Because this field is not numeric, I would want to return the value of Item1Desc. However let's assume my first selection was actually 'Item1Total' and I don't want to return the non-numeric Item1Desc field. In this case, because 'FieldIsNumeric'=1 indicating a numeric field, I want to take the sum of this field.
Is it possible to nest an aggregating function in an IIF statement on only one part of an IIF statement? I.e. the true part or false part?
And if so, what am I doing wrong?
An example of the tablix:
sample layout
Column 1 Header____________Column 2 Header___________Column 3 Header
Column 1 Data______________Column 2 Data_____________Column 3 Data
Sample data
Product___________________Country of Origin_________________Units
ABC Envelopes___________________China______________________15
LMN Packets_____________________India_______________________30
In the example above, user selects 3 columns, 'Product', 'Country of Origin', and 'Units'. There are other fields available that would cause multiple rows if I grouped by them in the stored procedure (for example acquisition price). Based on the lookup I return the column description as a header. The row-level detail is described as above (e.g. Return the product name and country of origin, but sum up the units).
As a workaround for my issue above, I found an (ugly?) solution.
As mentioned above, a user can select any number of columns and the report organizes them in columns based on a predefined order according to a stored procedure. (E.g. a product description would come before the sum of the units if those two columns were chosen, but a product ID may come before the product description, but only if the ID was chosen.)
For every possible number of columns a user can select, I added two columns in the report (i.e. two for each field).
The first two columns will reference the lookupvalue=1. I then set the expression of each field in the detail to 1) a sum of the value, or 2) the value itself. I then set the column visibility to the results of the 'FieldIsNumeric' column. So the summed numeric column which would return an error for non-numeric data would be hidden when FieldIsNumeric=0, and the non-numeric column referencing the lookup value =1 would be shown, and vice versa.
Needless to say additional columns would follow the same logic in sets of two, each referencing the sequential lookup value (e.g. columns 3 and 4 would reference lookupvalue=2, columns 5 and 6 would reference lookupvalue=3, and so forth. Each column within the matching pair would be displayed or hidden based on the returned value of FieldIsNumeric in the same lookup dataset.
I'm definitely open to suggestions, but thought I'd post this as a workaround solution.
im working with report that visual studio 2010 have, then i have a chart series with four fields planta, date, and densidad, i have to get the average of all the data that densidad has but only when the date is the same for example
Date Densidad
11/05/2015 2
11/05/2015 3
12/05/2015 4
in this case i have two data from 11/05/2015 the only for that date i must get the average that in this case should be 2,5 , ive been looking for an expression that works but i ve found anything, please?
Add a new row group, then go to the group's properties and group by date. In your tablix, add in AVG(Yourdataset!Yourvalue.Value) next to the date. This should group by date.
Your group expression should look like this:
=FormatDateTime(Fields!dates.Value, DateFormat.ShortDate)
My dataset currently has 12 rows of data. Each representing data for a month. I would like to have variance of a column between to rows, the rows being last & last but one i.e., latest month and previous month's data.
It could have been simple if I were to work on tablix but thats not the case. I want those values for a textbox.
Any ideas on it anyone?
I hope you are using SSRS 2008R2:
R2 introduced the Lookup function that is perfect for this scenario.
=Lookup( Fields!ProductUID.Value ,Fields!ProductID.Value,Fields!Price.Value,"PriceDataSet")
The Lookup function above will evaluate the first parameter ("Fields!ProductUID.Value") in the current dataset, then look for a matching value in the field specified in the second parameter ("Fields!ProductID.Value") in the dataset specified in the fourth parameter. The value of the third parameter is then evaluated in that row of the dataset and returned.
A little convoluted, but very helpful.
In your case, you can use this in a textbox with a calculated a static number:
=Lookup(
Month(DateAdd(DateInterval.Month, -1, GetDate())),
Fields!MonthID.Value,
Fields!Name.Value,
"DataSet1")
This should calculate a number for last month, then look for a match in DataSet1.
In this example I have a tablix with Statecode and name as below
enter image description here
Suppose you want to display the name of state of CA, write an expression as -
=Lookup(
"CA" ,
Fields!StateCode.Value,
Fields!StateName.Value,
"ReportData"
)
This will return 'California' in the text box
I ran across this post while trying to solve a similar problem but with columns of double data type. Not sure why but SSRS did not want to return my first row using LOOKUP in combination with ROW_NUMBER in SQL(If someone can solve that all the better). I ended up using a SUM(IIF) instead. Hopefully, this is useful for someone else.
=Sum(IIF(Fields!RowNum.Value=1,CDBL(Fields!MyNumericColumn.Value),CDBL(0)))
Note: If SSRS complains about data types, just cast both parts of the IIF to the desired data type.
