I mean when i click on the chart item will that redirect me to the specific table.
Thanks in advance.

You may not get the precision you're looking for, but you can definitely implement this general type of functionality via the use of Bookmarks or Document Maps:

Is it possible to create a telephone directory/provider directory kind of pdf report using SSRS?

I don't see repeater kind of insert-able object where I can create directory kind of report in SSRS. Any input on how to achieve this kind of reporting in SSRS?
Similar to a telephone directory like shown in figure
I've taken this sample data from the Adventure works sample database customer table.
I simply added a table and aded placeholders in the first cell for each of the customer elements I wants to display and formatted them as required.
Then in the report properties, I set the columns to 3.
The design looks like this...
Note that multi column layouts only work with certain renderers such as PDF so if I view it on screen I get this
If I export the report to a PDF I get this.
There are ways to get round doing it on screen to but that's more complicated. Let me know if you need to do this on screen too.

ssrs display multiple documents

We have several RDL's that that are designed using textbox's to display data as a document to be converted to PDF or printed directly. There is no table involved in the RDL's. I am trying to get one of the RDL's to display multiple documents by passing a dataset of multiple DocumentId but it only appears to display the first document. I figure there must be a setting to force a page break on the actual dataset or page itself but I have not found one yet. Does anyone know of such a feature of SSRS 2008?
I would recommend putting the textbox in lists and have the list group on Documentid. This should fix your issue. If you want it to be shown on a separate page you should be able to select page break between groups.

Split pages in SSRS with parameters and different datasets

I would like to know how to organize my report to be able to display few charts coming from different datasets depending on a specific field for the page.
So I would like to have 5 pages containing each 3 charts from different datasets based on the same parameter.
It is something like the wizzard generates but I am not able to add a chart coming from other datasets and if I create another area with the parameter as header, it is splitted in 5*3 pages.
Any suggestion is welcome, thanks in advance.
Try inserting 5 Rectangle items into your report and add a page break after each one. You can then insert Charts into the Rectangle items, making sure they are sized appropriately. Also make sure the SSRS parameter points to the parameter used in the charts' Datasets.

Creating a Directory Listing type Report in SSRS

I was wondering if there was a way to create a directory listing report in ssrs and if so, how would i go about creating it.
I'm mostly familiar with creating tabular and some somewhat complex reports, but nothing like this; so any help would be extremely useful.
Here's a sample of how the report might look.
Thanks!
Addendum: The content on each page needs to be grouped by Department & Sub-Department.
I made a mistake on the sample report; where it says Department Subtitle it should say sub-department.
Here's one way I've seen it done.
For a 3 column look, create 3 tables/list with the same dataset and set visibility for details group to:
=IIF(ROWNUMBER("YourDataSet") mod 3=1,FALSE,TRUE) <--Table1
=IIF(ROWNUMBER("YourDataSet") mod 3=2,FALSE,TRUE) <--Table2
=IIF(ROWNUMBER("YourDataSet") mod 3=0,FALSE,TRUE) <--Table3
I think your problem is an addition to this question here.
I did a simple test that imitates your situation. Here is how to do it:
Set the report to 3 columns via Report properties. Adjusted the width of each column so that they fit in 1 page of paper.
Add a List control to the first column. Put Text Box controls inside with the required data fields. The List control will repeat for each Listing record.
Create groups for Department and Sub-Department via Row Groups pane. Rearrange the groups so that they will appear above the List control.
Right-click on Department group (or Sub-Department group) and add Page Breaks.
Preview (Should get a result pretty close to what you want)

Switching Chart types on the fly

I'm working on a reporting app which displays incoming data as pie by default. We'd like to offer the user the ability to switch to bar, or column, or area, or any of the other charts with the click of a button. Since we already have the data in the app, it should be fairly simple no? Does anyone have an idea of how I might approach this?

You can approach this a couple different ways. If it was me I would either set up a view stack with each of the chart types you want the user to switch to and they you can simply change the viewstack selectedIndex. Alternatively, you can have just a single chart holder container. Then just make function to dynamically generate each chart (Example). Then all you need to do is remove the existing and add the new chart.
I accomplish this by creating a state for each specific chart type. Then just change between states based on user input. You can use one data provider for each chart or create specific data providers for each.
