SSRS Print one row then detail - reporting-services

I have a report that has two sections of data. In a list component with textboxes I have Barcode, warehouse location, pallets. Then below this I have detail information in a tablix including Racklocation Use by date, Qty, Product, Description, PalletID, Customer Product and Weight. How do I print one barcode row then detail for that shipment, then page break? Then same again for next row? Thanks i'm really banging my head with this one!

Do you mean you just want there to be a page break after each of your packing slips? If so select the list, then at the bottom of the window where it says "Row Groups" right click the first group and go to "Group Properties". Finally, go to the "Page Breaks" window and click "Between each instance of a group" and then "Also at the end of a group". That should do it.

What i ended up doing was using the lookup function for EACH item I needed to lookup referencing unique value i.e. pickrouteID to then lookup what i needed. Example
=Lookup(Fields!.Value, Fields!.Value, Fields!.Value, "containing dataset")

First of Function in SSRS / show first row of each page

In my SSRS report, I have more than 500 pages. In the header section, I have used an textbox with expression First (Productname), where the productname is one of the column in my report.
How to display the First row productname of each page on that control? Now it will always display the first row productname of first page on all the pages.
You need to use the ReportItems collection. Get the name of the cell that contains the text you want by clicking it and looking at the properties, assuming the name is myColumnCell then the expression in you header cell would be
=First(ReportItems!myColumnCell.Value)
Look here for more details if required.

Row Headings won't repeat on new pages

I have, what I think is a pretty simple table in Report Builder 3.0. I have team & salesperson grouped by team in the far left column (row headers) and I want those to repeat when the report is multiple pages. I've tried what this article suggests: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd207045.aspx but it doesn't seem to work. I have a sales amount and a goal in the table with various departments grouped in my headers.
How do I get the row headers to repeat?
Can you check the property values of the corresponding static rows(header related)..to do this you can click on the arrow pointed downwards in the bottom right..select the "Advanced mode" which opens the strows..select the corrsponding static header row under "Row Groups" in bottom left of report builder..Check if the "RepeatOnNewPAge" to true and "Keep With group" to After..Change the values if they are not ..You can go through the following link

SSRS - Changing tab name when exporting to excel

I have tabbed my report in SSRS 2012 by having my page breaks based upon grouping classname and it works great. How do I change the tab names when exporting to Excel? I tried having an expression for page name =Fields!classname.Value. In doing so, it makes all 4 of my tabs equal the first page break of Sales Division.
My tabs are based upon the grouping of classname, which in returns gives me the 4 tabs: Sales Division, VRS, ClearCaptions, and IP-relay.
You need to set the PageName of the Tablix Member (group), NOT the PageName of the Tablix itselfs.
If you got the right object, if will say "Tablix Member" (Tablix-Element in German) in the title box of the properties grid. If it's the wrong object, it will say only "table/tablix" (without member).
Also, be advised to set the sort order of the group expression, so the tabs are alphabetically sorted.
If you get the tablix instead of the tablix member, it will put the same tab name in every tab, followed by a (tabNum). That is exactly your current problem.
This solution was not working for me.
I had to add group break page.

ADD Total is Greyed Out In SSRS Tablix

I am trying to add Totals to at the end for many columns,but when i right click on the box Add Total is Greyed out,How can i enable ADD Totals?
thanks in advance
At the extreme bottom in visual studios you have your groups listed.
Right click on the group name for which you want to add the total. Go to Add Total -> After .
Refer to the image below :
If "Add Total" is greyed out, right click on your package and choose "View Code."
Search for the field you want to total.
In my case this field was defined as
<rd:UserDefined>true</rd:UserDefined>
even though the underlying datatype was an int.
Replaced this with
<rd:TypeName>System.Int32</rd:TypeName>
The "Add Total" option will be enabled.

Only allowing one Drilldown in SSRS

It took me hours of searching and putting together piecemeal parts to find the solution to this, so I figured I'd post it on here in the hopes of helping someone else.
The Problem: We need to display a report, with proper grouping and drilldowns. However, we should only allow one group to be drilled down at one time.
SSRS doesn't exactly have robust scripting options - for instance, you can't close other groups "on click" or anything like that. So how do you do it?
In My example i'm using the AdventureworksDW database. I want to have a dataset that includes the total sales for each group and region. My Stored Procedure looks something like this:
SELECT dst.SalesTerritoryGroup,
dst.SalesTerritoryRegion,
SUM(fis.SalesAmount) AS SaleTotal,
DATEPART(YEAR,fis.OrderDate) AS OrderYear
FROM [dbo].FactInternetSales AS fis
INNER JOIN [dbo].DimSalesTerritory AS dst
ON fis.SalesTerritoryKey = dst.SalesTerritoryKey
WHERE fis.OrderDate < #QueryEndDate
GROUP BY
dst.SalesTerritoryGroup,
dst.SalesTerritoryRegion,
DATEPART(YEAR,fis.OrderDate)
UNION ALL /*The ResellerSales table. Same info.*/
From there I added a table with two groups: SalesTerritoryRegion and its parent, SalesTerritoryGroup. I also added a column to the left INSIDE the SalesTerritoryGroup, with an X (this can also be an image if you'd like). This is the "Drilldown" button that we'll use.
Create a string parameter, mine was #ExpandedGroup. Set the Default to an empty string (so that all the groups start out collapsed). Right click on the SalesTerritoryRegion group, or whatever your subgroup is, and go to the visibility tab. Click "Show or Hide based on Expression" and enter something like this:
=iif(Parameters!ExpandedGroup.Value="" or
Fields!SalesTerritoryGroup.Value<>Parameters!ExpandedGroup.Value,True,False)
This statement means: If we haven't opened a dropdown, or if the dropdown isn't the one selected, set hidden to true. Otherwise, false.
Next click on your "X" column to the left of SalesTerritoryGroup or your supergroup. Right click to go to Textbox Properties. Click the action tab. From there select "Go to Report". When you specify a report, make the target itself (For instance, mine is Main). Then, add parameters to the report.
The most important here is ExpandedGroup. The name should be ExpandedGroup, but the value is not just [ExpandedGroup]. Instead, it's an expression:
=IIF(Fields!SalesTerritoryGroup.Value=Parameters!ExpandedGroup.Value,
"",
Fields!SalesTerritoryGroup.Value)
This expression says: If the Group is the same as the Expanded group, make ExpandedGroup an empty string when you load the report. Otherwise, send the TerritoryGroup value. Essentially, this will let us toggle on and off the drilldown (same as you would in the report if you had traditional drilldowns).
Note: Also be sure to pass other parameters! For instance, my query requires a date to exclude some transaction data. If you don't pass this parameter in the "Go to Report" action, then you'll have to enter it again when you DrillDown. This also means you can give yourself even more flexibility when you click a drilldown (changing a chart that's displayed etc.) which is what I'm doing for this project.
Hope it helps someone out! Of course, if there is a more elegant or simpler solution I'd absolutely love to hear it.
