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.

I am trying to use an existing page break parameter in a new tablix that I added to an exisitng ssrs 2008 r2 report.
I am trying the solution at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15513313/conditional-page-breaks-at-group-level-in-ssrs2008-r2-reports/ so I can use the disabled property of the page break option on on the new tablix by using a parameter value that is 'text' and the parameter values are either True or False.
The new tablix that I am using has 5 level of row groups.
The problem is I do not see a 'group' property where I can set the control group name.
When I do set the pagebreak of the tablix I am working with to the following, =IIF(Parameters!PageBreak.Value="True",false,true), and run the page break parameter to true, I do get the page breaks. However when I set the page break parameter to false, all I see is information for one control group. I am basically missing all the informatiuon I need.
How do I solve this problem?
Click on the horzontal bars under the Row Groups. If you click for example on [StudentFullName your property pane on the right side changes to the group properties (Properties: Tablix Member). There you navigate to Group > Group > PageBreak > Disabled. Now put your expression in the Disabled property. Just follow the steps from the other post and you are done.
UPDATE
If you want a page break before each new item of a group right click on your group properties (in your case for example right click on [StudentFullName) then go to the tab page breaks and check the Between each instance of a group box.
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.

I'm using Report Builder 2012 to create a report. I have inserted multiple text boxes and other controls inside a list box so that I can hide all the controls at once just by hiding the list box. I'm using a SQL Server stored procedure to fetch rows of data. I'm using below expression to hide/show the list box.
=iif(Fields!certificateType.Value = "CT", False, True)
It works fine but it only checks the first row of data. If certificateType field is "CT" in the first row of data, it shows the list box but it doesn't hide the list box back for the next row of data in which certificateType is not "CT". It seems like list box visibility only checks the first row of data and applies it for all the other rows as well. How can i check the visibility of list for all the data rows?
Okay, based on our chat I have updated this solution.
I mocked up some data that looks like this:
certificateType
---------------
AT
BT
CT
DT
ZT
I created a quick and dirty report with a list. In that, I added a rectangle with a textbox in it. I set the dataset for the list to the main dataset (DataSet1 in my case). I set the expression for the textbox to this:
=Fields!certificateType.Value
Image in design mode:
I clicked on the list, and in the Row Groups pane, I right-clicked the Details rows, and chose Group Properties. On the General section, I clicked Add to add a new group expression. Then I chose certificateType from the dropdown.
I moved to the Page Break section of the Group Properties dialog and ticked the Between each instance of a group check box. Click OK.
Now, the report will break for each instance of a certificate type that comes in the dataset. So, if you have ten different cert types in the data, you will get one page for each.
You can't see it in my image below, but there are 5 pages now.
Hope this helps!!
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.
I have a report with one group (Office Name) which page breaks between each group - so the data for only one Office can appear on a given page. How do I get that Office Name to appear in the page header?
I tried creating a hidden textbox in the details section of the report which has the Office Name value and then referencing that in the Page Header, but I get the last Office Name value on page 1 and then it is blank on every other page.
Today, at last I found another way to do this.
On the group that you specified the page break, in the properties window, expand the Group section.
See Pagination in Reporting Services (Report Builder and SSRS)
You can set the BreakLocation property in the Tablix Properties,
Rectangle Properties, or Group Properties dialog boxes, but you must
set the Disabled, ResetPageNumber, and PageName properties in the
Report Builder Properties pane.
You should see a PageName field. This field can be set to that of one of the field data values from the dataset used by the tablix.
Once you have set the PageName field, you can add a textbox to the Page Header/Footer and set the expression to use the PageName field. Built-in Globals and Users References (Report Builder and SSRS)
=Globals!PageName
This should then change on each group change, and be visible on each page.
I have realy struggled finding a good solution for this, so if I need to clear up the answer, please feel free to suggest this.
I got it to work and I'll post the answer in case someone else runs across this issue.
For some reason referencing the text box did not work, but when I put a hidden column in the table with the same value, I could then reference that in the Page Header.
I am actually doing this in the footer and it worked! Thanks! Just wanted to add if you have multiple values you are trying to display in the header or footer, you can string them together with a delimiter in the pagename expression like
=Fields!FIELD1.Value + "|" + Fields!FIELD2.Value + "|" + Fields!FIELD3.Value + "|" + Fields!FIELD4.Value
Then you can create new fields (one for each value) and parse out each field like
=(Split(Globals!PageName, "|")).GetValue(0)
=(Split(Globals!PageName, "|")).GetValue(1)
=(Split(Globals!PageName, "|")).GetValue(2)
=(Split(Globals!PageName, "|")).GetValue(3)
