Creating a group in SSRS - reporting-services

I have around 10 tables in an ssrs report and I need to add a group which includes them all. Is there a way to do that in ssrs?
I know how to create column and row groups within a single tablix, but I am not able to do the same for more than one tablix.

I created a table with a single cell, then inserted a rectangle in it and then copy/pasted all the tables in there. Then added a row group and it works!!

Is there a way to automatically add more tablixes?

Currently I'm creating a report with multiple Tablixes. Each Tablix shows the same information as the other Tablixes, filtered on a different group.
So, Group 1 has a Tablix, Group 2 has a Tablix, Group 3 has a Tablix, etc.
Now, the amount of groups will grow over time, with yet unknown names/identifiers.
What I'm trying to achieve is that when a new group gets added, a new Tablix is automatically added to the report as well.
Is this in any way possible? Or should I manually expand the report when such a group is added?
I was thinking about using a parameter that counts the amount of groups, then creates that many columns in a Tablix, and have the column automatically populate with another Tablix, but I believe it's not possible to have a Tablix with a fluid number of rows within another Tablix.

How to bind multiple table to single dataset in ssrs

I am trying to repeat the table data for showing 2 list based on in-out time. So I have copy-paste the table and applied filter function based on in-out time to single dataset. I can view two table in report output as it is but when exporting to PDF table gets overlapped on each other. Also filter seems to get applied to only one table.
How we can tackle PDF export issue?
What are best way to repeat table using single dataset?
Insert a list into the report.
If you can group the row group on something that will generate two rows then brilliant - you will only need one tablix in the list.
If that is not possible, group the row group on 1. Then insert a new row group adjacent below, also grouped on 1. On the new row that has appeared in the list, insert a new rectangle. Now you can past a copy of the tablix into each rectangle, and page break on the row groups instead of the tables.
The groups & rectangles will prevent overlapping when exporting to PDF.

How can you repeat a tablix for each record returned from a query?

I am generating an SSRS report that is divided into sections, where each section is a separate tablix.
There is a section that should repeat for each instance of an entity. For example: if the report section involves 3 employees, the tablix of type employee should render 3 times, once for each employee.
Note that the number of employees for each report is variable.
Does anyone know of a feature in SSRS or a technique that can support this?
OK this is going to sound really weird but it works.
First you will need to insert a rectangle to the body of your report.
Drag and drop the entirety of the tablix into the rectangle. The tablix should not reside in the rectangle.
Second create a new Tablix and delete all but one column and one row (1X1) tablix.
Drag the rectangle containing the original tablix into the single cell of the new tablix.
You should now have a single cell tablix that contains a rectangle that contains your original tablix.
You can then select the single cell tablix that you created and enter the row group properties for the one row that you have. Add a group expression to group on, in your case, Entity.
You can then go even further and add page breaks between the tablix groups and this will separate the groups on separate pages.

Make Tablix Column group show when filter returns no rows - SSRS

I am working on some SSRS reports and am running into an issue where Tablix Column groups drop from the table when the filter returns no rows.
Is there any way to make this column appear but with empty cells? I have another tablix grouping adjacent with the same columns and I want the columns to all line up on the multiple tablix.
Am I just missing a simple option?
Maybe add a
UNION SELECT '', n ..., '';
clause to your report query? It's ugly but should work. If you go this route, add a comment for your colleagues (or your future self) that will have to maintain the report.
I have not been able to make these columns appear on the SSRS report end. Specifically I am getting data by month for display. My solution is make a "Result" table on the SQL side with $0 for every combination, then update this table.
Frustrating, but it works.

Pivot a table in reporting services?

Is it possible to pivote a table in reporting services 2008? If so, how?
I'd like to pivote it 90 degrees.
Thanks
In SSRS 2008, there isn't much difference between rows and columns.* A Table is an instance of a "Tablix" which has the detail group on the rows. You can have your table either repeat rows or columns based on the groupings and where the details group is set.
You can create a horizontally expanding table by:
First create a Tablix by dragging the Matrix Report Item onto the design surface. The Tablix will have a RowGroup and a ColumnGroup by default.
Delete the Row Group by right clicking on it and selecting "Delete Group" In the Delete Group prompt, delete just the group (Not related rows and columns; you'll probably want these as left label for your rows.)
Add the Details group as a Child Group of the Column Group. Do this by Right clicking on the Column Group and "Add Group->Child Group..." Select Show Details Data.
The resulting tablix should look something like this:
You can now add columns, rows, groups, etc.
*One minor difference that comes to mind is that you can merge cells horizontally, but not vertically.
