Use multiple ReportItems in one expression in RDLC Report - reporting-services

I want to display page wise sum of 2 columns in footer.for that I am using following expression in footer
=Sum(ReportItems!col1.Value) + Sum(ReportItems!col2.Value)
but it gives following error
"The Value expression for the textrun refers to more than one report item. An expression in a page header or footer can refer to only one report item."
anybody knows how can I solve this issue and display page wise sum in footer ?
Thanks

Here is simple workaround for your problem:
Add single textbox to the body of the report and name it i.e. "SUM"
Add your expression to this textbox =ReportItems!col1.Value + ReportItems!col2.Value
For this textbox set visibility as hidden
In the footer refer to this hidden textbox using =ReportItems!SUM.Value

I usually use Custom code-feature of report for these operations. Just open Report Properties and choose Code-view. Just then write basic VB get/set-methods to save and sum values.
Referring to methods in TextBox expression goes just like this: =Code.[YourMethodNameHere].
For example, saving value:
=Code.SaveMyValue(Fields!MyVal.Value)
and getting value:
=Code.GetMyValue()

ssrs Sum many textbox value in footer

Greeting
i have 3 textbox value in footer of my report
i want make total (sum) for tow of them
so when i try to make total with them give me this error
The Value expression for the textrun ‘.Paragraphs[0].TextRuns[0]’ refers to more than one report item. An expression in a page header or footer can refer to only one report item.
i used those code for sum but none of them working
=ReportItems!Textbox62.Value+ReportItems!Textbox61.Value
and this
=CDec(ReportItems!Textbox62.Value)+CDec(ReportItems!Textbox61.Value)
is there any idea fro solve this problem
That depends how your textbox expressions are. Lets assume you have one dataset (Dataset1) then you have
'Textbox1
=Sum(Fields!SomeNumericValue.Value)
'Textbox2
=Avg(Fields!SomeOtherNumericValue.Value)
Then this will work for your other textbox:
'Textbox3
=ReportItems!Textbox1.Value + ReportItems!Textbox2.Value
=Sum(Fields!SomeNumericValue.Value) + Avg(Fields!SomeOtherNumericValue.Value)
If you have two datasets (Dataset1 and Dataset2) this will work:
'Textbox1
=Sum(Fields!NumericValue1.Value, "Dataset1")
'Textbox2
=Avg(Fields!NumericValue2.Value, "Dataset2")
'Textbox2
=Sum(Fields!NumericValue1.Value, "Dataset1") + Avg(Fields!NumericValue2.Value, "Dataset2")

show/hide columns in SSRS report 2012 based on Multiselect parameter

i have been trying to hide/show columns within my tablix based on multi value parameter , but whenever i am plugging in the expression in the column visibility properties it is not showing what i select from the parameter and hide what is not select.
Here is the expression:
=IIF(InStr(JOIN(Parameters!parameter.Value,", "),"value"),false,true)
any help???
If I understand correctly, you want to show the column if you select a value which contains "value". Right?
So the expression should be like below:
=IIF(InStr(JOIN(Parameters!parameter.Value,","),"value")>0,false,true)
I always get this wrong too. I think backwards. It is actually asking for the expression that will hide the column. SO Black_T is correct with his answer.
=IIF(InStr(JOIN(Parameters!Parameter.Value,","),"value")>0,false, true)
so whenever the expression picks up that value in the statement, it will return false, meaning that it should not hide it, and whenever it doesn't find it, well the returned product will also hide it! pretty ingenious!
Thanks and enjoy!
=IIF(InStr(JOIN(Parameters!parameter.Value,","),"value")>0,true,false)

SSRS: Snapshot runtime?

I have a SSRS report which is the snapshot or another report. It runs every day # 6 am. I want to add a header at the top of the report(snapshot), which indicates when the snapshot was taken so that the user knows when the snapshot was taken.
Does anyone know how can i do that?
if I truly understand your question :
you can add date or time of report processing by adding a textbox on header and write this expression as its value :
=TimeOfDay()
or
=Now()
Ususally you would use Globals!ExecutionTime to display this, but from my research, headers and footers are calculated when the report is rendered. A work around for this is to place the textbox (make it hidden) with Globals!ExecutionTime in it on the report body and then place another textbox in the header or footer which references that textbox like this: ReportItems!ReportBodyTextBoxName.Value.
Answer found on the following site:
http://www.manning-sandbox.com/message.jspa?messageID=52186
The best way for me was to add an extra column to my dataset. e.g.:
SELECT COL1
,COL2
,...
,COLn
,SYSDATE AS EXEC_DAT
FROM ...
You can then use First(Fields!EXEC_DAT.Value, "DATASET_NAME") if the expression is in the header.
PS: SYSDATE works for Oracle, you'll have to determine the correct function for your RDBMS

Reporting Services - Group Name in Page Header

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)

How can I show data in the header of a multipage SSRS 2005 report?

This question was very helpful, however I have a list control in my report, and when the report grows over 1 page, data in the header only shows up on the last page of the report.
Apparently, hidden textboxes have to be on every page of the report for header to function properly. How do I do that? The only control I have in the list is a textbox with bunch of text that grows way over 1 page.
Although SSRS does not allow us to use DataSet fields in page headers, it allows us to refer to report items. So we could place a textbox (that takes its value from a DataSet field) anywhere in our report's body and set its Hidden property to true.
Then, we could easily refer to that textbox in the page header with an expression like: =ReportItems!TextBox1.Value and we are done. Note that the textbox that is being referred should be present on every page, or otherwise the header will print an empty value.
sExchange website to the rescue!!!
All I needed to do is to use Report Parameters with queried values from my dataset; and then reference =Parameters!Name.Value in the textbox in the header of the report.
Select Report Parameters, Add new parameter and check hidden, allow null and allow blank value.
If you are retrieving the values from database:
Under Available Values:
check "from query" radio button and provide dataset,value field and label fields.
Under Default Values:
check "from query" radio button and provide dataset,value fields.
Now provide the value for text box in the footer/header as =Parameters!Footer.Value (Footer is the parameter name).
the hidden text boxes can be placed within a rectangle that was a repeatwith property set to be your list item.
