I have two different-2 datasets with different fileds which are getting populated through two stored procedures with same input parameters.each datsets have different colums and no of columns around 180,my concern is how will i use these two different datsets in single report with two differents fields(two differnt tables).for one dataset i have used report wizard,but not able to figure out for the second dataset.Please suggest for the same..
You can use two different datasets in different reports regions on one Report. For example, If you have two datasets, lets say DS1 showing EmployeeDetail and DS2 showing SalesInfo. You can use them separately in two tables one showing Employees Details and other showing Sales Info. If you plan to merge this data and use it in one table, These are option.
Recommended option : Re-write your query to create single dataset containing possible data you want to show in tabular fashion.
Would work but would be lot slower : Use DS1 in a table in Main Report where each row contains Epmloyee Detail, Wihtin that Row call a Sub-Report passing EmployeeDetail's key which is related to a column in SalesInfo. Create sub-report showing SaledInfo data, call this report in main report passing key value from DS1 to this sub-report.
Specify data set name in third column
Example:
=First(Fields!fieldname.Value,"DataSet1")
Using two different or multiple datasets in a report is not a problem at all, as long as they do not belong to the same data region (charts, tables, etc.)
In addition to Ron's answer, if you are looking to get data from different datasets in one data region, you could also use Lookup or LookupSet in the field expressions.
Additionally, you may also create one dataset and filter out some data from it in data regions. For example, if you have one big dataset of all employees, and you would like to display all employees that joined in the year 2012 in a table, you could filter out the dataset using Filter properties of table.
You can simply add multiple table in your report , and change datasetName from tablix properties for each of your table .
you will also need binding source to fill that dataset .
this.invoiceTableAdapter.Fill(this.ARQutationDataSet.invoice);

I am generating a table in SSRS based on the selection made by the user on two filters: Filter1 and Filter2 (say). The table so displayed has 10 columns and I wish to add filter option listing all available values for that column for all 10 columns.
Basically, I am trying to replicate the Excel functionality of filtering down data on each and every column.
Please note that I tried creating a new data set and a parameter taking all distinct values for a particular variable. However, I am still not able to get the desired results by filter the tablix on that parameter
Is there a way I can do that?
You'd need to make a new dataset that is a smaller version of your main dataset. It would need to return all potential values for the column(s) you want to filter in a single column to be used in a parameter.
Without seeing the design of the report or the dataset itself it's quite hard to be more specific.
I have four datasets that get information for four different things (a unique set of fields for each one), but that can be joined using a field they share. I need to get them all into a tablix that will have four rows, one for each dataset per the linking field. How do I do that?
Currently I can only put in values from one dataset.
Often the best idea would be to create a query that joins the datasets in the sql. If that is not possible, you can look into using the Lookup function to find info from other datasets in your report. The related Lookupset function is able to retrieve sets of information and may be useful as well.
I have one report in which I have table like below,
Now as for change I need to add the second table for each customer and the new report should look like as below,
So basically, I want to repeat two tables for each customer there will be multiple customers or single customer. I tried following this answer but with no luck. (The table should always visible so can not go with the drill down report.)
Any help would be great. My reporting server is 2008 r2.In case of the problem or confusion feel free to comment.
Similar to Jacob's answer, but make a subreport that handles all the tables and datasets for one single customer.
Then use a list object that is populated by a dataset of all the customers you want to display, and put the subreport in the list object, passing the customerId to the subreport.
You need to place it(the table) in a list object. And configure the grouping of the list and filtering of your table.
I've got two tables binded to two different datasets. I'm trying to reference one of the rows from one of the tables (Table A) from Table B.
Since it's outside the scope of the table, I can't use ReportItems![Textbox name].Value
Any ideas?
You can use the SSRS Lookup() or LookupSet() function to retrieve the data directly from the other dataset.
I found the MSDN pages a bit unclear, the syntax goes like this:
=LOOKUP(Fields!sourceMatchingField.Value,
Fields!targetMatchingField.Value,
Fields!targetReturnField.Value,
"Name of Second Dataset"
)
Fields!sourceMatchingField.Value is from the dataset that is
currently in scope.
Fields!targetMatchingField.Value is from the other data set you need to get information from and equals Fields!sourceMatchingField.Value.
These two parameter values for the Lookup function make the join criteria for the two datasets. They can be more complicated than simply two field references (such as using functions to manipulate on or both), but I'm just showing the simplest way to do it.
Fields!targetReturnField.Value is the field from the second dataset that you want to return. This should just be a reference to a field.
"Name of Second Dataset" is just what you've named the other dataset that you're joining to.
In SSRS 2005 I have a report with two matrix with two data sets. The report was running fine based when ran on different parameters.
Now I have been asked to modify the report and place another option in the parameter for "All" this will retrieve the results of all parameters and once extracted to Excel it will create different sheets in Excel for based on each parameters results.
For the above purpose I am using a list so each parameter result would be on one page but the problem is when I add the two matrix in the list the second matrix only retrieve values of first data set as the column names are similar. I can provide the second matrix value of second dataset with First(Fields!Site.Value,"Second DataSet") but it obviously picks up only the first value from the second dataset.
I was wondering if there is anyway I can use two datasets in a list and the second dataset picks up all the values and not just only the first value.
Or is there a better way to achieve the above in SSRS.
1) remove First from this expression : First(Fields!Site.Value,"Second DataSet")
2) your expression should be only =Fields!Site.Value. No need to provide dataset name"Second DataSet".
