I'm putting together a report project in VS2012 for which the values are aggregated by month and by a second category. The result I'm getting is this:
The result I'd like to get is this:
Does anyone know how I can reduce the space between bars for just one category grouping in a report in Visual Studio 2012?
Thanks.
PS - to be clear, there are no series groups in this graph - only sum values and category groups.
Turns out you can't do this. I asked the question on the MSDN forums as well, and was informed that this functionality specifically does not exist within SSRS.
In the chance that anyone is interested, you can view the forum thread here:

I have 2 reports at diffent report pages in Report Builder Server. First one which has my category values from sql database, another has invoice details about those categories.
How can i access to invoice details when i click a related category in first report categories?
Thanks.
You will need to create a Drill Through report.
The most informative tutorial I have found is the following 20 min video from Wise Owl Tutorials. This will be able to explain it quicker and faster than typing it out here.
Recommend watching this series for any question you may have.
I am working with SSRS 2008 or 2014 and SQL Server 2014. One of the issues the team is having is around the formatting of the SSRS report. The goal is to have the report data format to render in an user friendly format. Unfortunately, a requirement is that the report uses two tables that can display 1:x number of records. As you can imagine, all data fields under the tables will now be pushed further down the page.
My question is, has anyone encountered this type of scenario and have an SSRS code-based solution to handle the formatting of the report?
It sounds like you need to display a 1 to many relationship in the report but want to keep the first table's results together. Maybe what you need is a drilldown/drillthrough report; this is available without a code-based solution.
This article explains the concept
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/reporting-services/report-design/drilldown-action-report-builder-and-ssrs?view=sql-server-2014
There are many Youtube videos on how to set up drilldown reports, here is one example

In SSRS, what are the differences in drilldowns and drillthrough reports? Only developers experienced working on both kind of reports can answer this. Please suggest.
Drill DOWN means a way to filter the results to a more
detailed level from the Parent Level.Like plus and minus symbols.For example initially you will see summary level data if you want to go in detail you need to click on plus symbol
Drill Through on the other hand means to drill into (get
into ) another report for getting more details. The values
from the Parent(Main) report are passed to the Child
(Detailed Report) for filter condition.It just navigation between two different reports
These report are used by everyone.Its simple reports but need some practice
is it possible to do a lookup in SSRS 2008 report from a Subreport? if so, can someone tell me how please?
No, the lookup function won't go beyond the scope of the report. Your question isn't very clear on what exactly you're trying to accomplish (which would be helpful) but I'll try to guess.
If you're looking to pass some values to the subreport from the parent's dataset you could check this blog post about doing that, though I haven't tried it myself. You could also use a shared dataset to avoid rewriting your queries if you need to use the dataset again in both of the reports.
According to this msdn social thread it doesn't appear to be possible to pass a value to the parent report from the subreport. However, another thread on sqlservercentral.com seems to have some promise but it didn't seem to work for everyone. Once again, I haven't tried it myself.
Good luck, and let us know if anything works!
With Microsoft Access, is there a simple way to have a report calculate a sum on the fly and if there are any zeroes/null fields in the total, then disregard those from the equation?
The reason I ask is because I currently am coding a Access report with a bunch of fields for totals of dues collected and as not everyone has paid, my grand total field keeps getting cancelled.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated,
Update
Just found the solution which was right under my nose the entire time. I just had to configure the fields to use a Running Sum (also called a Cumulative Total).

Apologies about the delayed answer post. When I originally posted my update, I didn't have enough reputation to answer my own question.
As requested below is the solution I found for my problem:
