Display a Tablix on click of Image in ssrs. - reporting-services

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.

Add a page to SSRS report

I want to add a page to SSRS report, which can be toggle on/off based on a radio button selection.
The reason I want to add a page is so I can add additional report logic information for the functional users. Is it possible to add a page (with several text boxes) in SSRS report and show/hide based on parameter value?
NOTE:* One approach I could use is to add a rectangle and control its visibility via parameter. However, when hidden, it leaves a blank space behind. Is there a way to get rid of this blank space?
You can do this with a table component. Add a detail row and a footer row and set the dataset to read from SELECT 1=1. You can put a rectangle in the rows and build out your report in the first row and then optionally show/hide the footer row.

Hide multiple rows or columns in SSRS report with same Expression at same time

I have a report containing a Tablix/table with sets of rows and columns which I am hiding conditionally using Expressions, via the Column/Row Visibility dialog.
If for example I have 3 columns which I want to all have the same Expression to determine their visibility, is there any way for me to achieve this without opening the Column Visibility dialog for each Column and entering the appropriate Expression?
I've tried selecting multiple columns, but then the right-click context menu no longer offers the Column Visibility option (it's greyed out) and I have also tried out the Hidden property of the columns (which can be amended in bulk by selecting multiple columns), but this only stops the columns from being rendered, leaving a blank space where they used to be (rather than how Column Visibility works, where columns to the right of the hidden columns are moved across to fill the gap, like hiding columns in an Excel sheet).
Is it possible to achieve what I'm after, or will I have to continue opening the Column/Row Visibility dialog for each column/row I wish to conditionally hide/show?
If the columns you want to control the visibility for are next to each other, you can create a Column Group for them and manage the visibility via the Group.
Add a new column group at the appropriate level so that only the relevant columns will be included.
If you already have Column Groups this will likely be a Child Group or an Adjacent Group.
If not, you can create an initial Column Group by dragging a Dataset field from the Report Data into the Groups pane.
Insert new columns inside the new group, and move the data from your existing relevant columns into the group.
The new group does not need to repeat, so in it's properties window set Group on: to a plain text value, e.g. "1".
Input the desired visibility settings into the Visibility page of the properties window.
For each of the individual columns inside the group set the Hidden property to False, to remove any other expressions or settings that might interfere.
Not exactly what you are looking for but perhaps a midway point - and this can apply to many things other than visibility (e.g. background colour, tooltip) - edit the RDL directly using View Code. This has the added benefit of being able to implement changes that are almost identical per column instead of identical with a minimum of mouse usage.
Typically I have set one column up the way I like it in the designer and then copy/paste under the other columns. In the case of visibility look for <TablixColumnHierarchy><TablixMemebers>. You will see a list of empty <TablixMember /> items along with the expanded <TablixMember><Visibility><Hidden>=... block where you have set up one column. Simply copy paste that block over the empty items at the position of interest (you will need to count it out unfortunately as there are no identifiers).
Bonus Tip: If you make a mistake or want to change something later, you can do a replace on all expressions at once (optional regex allowed).
Remember to backup or check in your work first because the designer may not open that report again correctly if you make a mistake :-)
Select the columns you want to conditionally hide and press F4 to see the Properties Window. Look for the Visibility node and use the Hidden property to set the conditionally expression.
The expression should evaluate to True for hiding and False for showing.
Let me know if this helps.

Show/Hide Column Header on Toggle in SSRS

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.

SSRS Need expression in tablix properties for each cell in the row. That will adjust the Size properties to reduce row to zero if there is no value

I am getting an error on this expression. help? Visual Studio SSDT. I am putting the expression in the properties for the size.
=IIF(SUM(Fields!BridgeBuilderApproach.Value) =0.2in,TRUE, 0.0in, FALSE)
For starters, the IIf expression should have 3 parameters:
=IIf([Condition], [True Result], [False Result])
Your example seems to have 4 parameters? The way you'd want to format it (without knowing exactly how your data looks) is likely the following:
=IIf(Sum(Fields!BridgeBuilderApproach.Value)=[Value that makes the row disappear], 0.0in, 0.2in)
click on Column Groups top, drop down to advanced then you see the Static 1:1 ratio over in the row groups, click on the static row you need and it will highlight it on the design tab of the report, then go over to properties, where you can then enter the expression into the properties hidden. this will apply for the entire row and hide the row if 0 is result
=IIf(Sum(Fields!BridgeBuilderApproach.Value)=0, True, False)
I would use the visible property of the textbox within the tablix.
Right click on the cell(textbox) of the table and choose TextBox Properties.
Select the Visibility Tab.
Select the radio button, "Show or hide based on an expression" and click the Fx.
Enter this or similar in the expression window based on your criteria.
=IIF(SUM(Fields!BridgeBuilderApproach.Value) = 0, TRUE, FALSE)

How to hide one row in a rowgroup?

I have a report in SSRS 2008 that has the following structure:
List
Tablix
Row Group
Row1
Field
Row2
Subreport
Is it possible to completely hide the first row in the row group, based on some condition?
I can hide the row, but the empty row still takes up space, I want the empty row to take up no space at all.
Part of the answer is given in the discussion that this question links to:
Try to set the Hidden property of the Static Row Group under the Details Group, in this case the whole row will disappear instead of the content of the textboxes.If you are using Report Builder, you need to switch to Advanced Mode (make sure that the Properties and the Grouping windows are displayed, go to the upper right side of the Grouping window and press the black triangle), click on the second "Static" item under the "(Details)" group and you can set the Hidden property on the Properties window.
However, this causes an exception when trying to export the report as PDF.
you can write an expression for the visibility of row.
