I have spent far too long on this and would really appreciate any help someone is able to give. I am creating a cross tab type report in SSRS (2012) using a matrix. Everything is working fine - however my end result must have each column separated from the next (i.e. no merging on common groups). I have three nested groups for the column groups (see figure) and want the output to show individual columns as opposed to merged on common groups.
I have seemingly exhausted all options - and am absolutely stuck - is anyone able to help?
Forgive - I found by adding grouping appropriate to my report and then deleting the row and inserting rows inside the group and re entering the values worked. These appear as 'static' in the advanced mode setting.

I have a dataset that shows capacity groupings for grads of different years. Groupings as follows:
0-100000
100000-250000
250000-500000
500000-1000000
1000000+
However for some of the years there are no grads which fulfil any of the capacity groupings. How do I still retain these labels, even if there is no data?

I've seen similar issues posted, but nothing that quite captures exactly what I am trying to accomplish. So far I've tried to add blank rows in the backend SQL by unioning in a temp table to fill all the blank values, but it seems a bit cumbersome/inefficient... Is there some kind of trick within SSRS or does it really just come down to data manipulation with SQL?

When writing expressions for a row in Power BI Report Builder, things line up just fine until you get data that is a lot of text.
This is a prime example
I have 'cangrow' to true on all of my individual cells as well as the row group / row itself. Nothing seems to fix this. Is there any way to do this so the rows expand accordingly?
Ideally, I'd something like this.
EDIT:
I believe the real problem is that I wasn't using a subtables because subtables look really bad when there are column groupings that block the merging of cells.
I'm now trying to find a way to basically add a completely separate table beneath the top table but still connected to be reported each match. First step would be find a way to have a separate data source in the subtable. Step two would be to allow the formatting of the subtable without the structure of the first.
I can't extend the subtable to the final column because of a required column group. And my expressions can't really do what I need them to without changing the dataset to something other than the main table.
Thanks for the help!
FINAL EDIT 2:
1) To resolve the separate dataset problem, I had to write a disgusting query to join the two sets I was using into one. I'm not sure there is a way to do that with Power BI Report Builder, although there should be.
2) I had to put the two separate tables into a list so they would be okay with formatting.
Got my problem solved, but in a round about way.

See attached images. I have no idea why but my data refuses to split into a second column. Everything I've searched for makes this seem very easy but I must be missing something. Any help is appreciated.
The answer was basically as posted above - I assumed that the data would split itself into two columns regardless of how much data was present, but really it needed to reach the end of the page before it would split into a second column. I ended up writing an SQL statement to split up the rows into two columns to meet my needs here. Thanks for the help.
I'm using VS2005 to create my reports.
I have a matrix report that works beatifully. I have country going down on the left hand side (row group called "matrix1_country_name") and data going across for 2 column groups, product_node and month (column groups "matrix1_Node" and "matrix1_calendar_month_name" respectively)
The only thing I want to improve is that this report will always show 5 year/60 months of data, and with multiple nodes I'd rather have each node be on its own page (Ideally I'd love to have it on the same page but in the rows just below to first node, but I'm not sure that's even possible).
I've seen numerous responses on these boards about putting in page breaks on column groups, but I can't seem to find how to do that in VS2005. The examples I've read that can do that seem to have a different interface so I'm guessing they aren't in VS2005.
Does VS2005 allow you to add page breaks after each group item and I'm just missing it? Or is there a trick I can do to get that to happen? I've also read about nestin matrix reports in list reports but that seems more complicated than doing the page break on the column group, so I'd rather do the easiest solution if I can.
Ah, I see pagebreaks are ignored on column_groups. Well I guess I'll try one of these workarounds.

I'm creating my first report for CRM 2011 using SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio and i've managed to do a decent amount but as I move into the more complex parts i'm becoming stuck, and I was wondering if someone would be able to help me with a few questions I have:
I'm using fetchXml to get the data from CRM for some accounts that the report is for, I need to include some data from a child entity but can't include them in the same way that I can for a parent entity to accounts. So for this I'm assuming I need to use a separate fetch query, but how do I pass the ID of the account the report is looking at into the second fetch query as a parameter?
Once I've got the names of all the child items with the fetchXml, whats the easiest way to display them all in a numbered list?
EDIT: For 1 and 2 I found that I can use a subreport with the child data in it. Using a list item I can show all in a bulleted list and I can pass the parameter through from the main report to the subreport
I'm listing the account's address on the report but since they might or might not have the lines 2 and 3 fields completed i'm unsure of how to display it without either missing off some of the address or leaving big gaps. I've tried creating different text boxes with the different combinations of line 1, 2 and 3 and then make only one visible with the use of expressions but the iif statement always returns false. Is there an easier way to do this?
EDIT: I've found out how to do this using a number of different text boxes containing the different combinations and hiding them using the visibility rule. What was initially confusing though is that the rule is for if the box should be hidden, rather than if it should be shown
When I add a field onto the report it always has a "First()" statement on it. Is this required or will it limit my report in any way?
EDIT: This doesn't seem to have an effect on the report as the record to run it against is always selected beforehand, so the First() statement doesn't restrict any data
If anyone could help me with any of these questions at all then that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
I've found the answers to my questions, i've put them in the original post.
