I am using SQL Server Report Service and wanted to know if there is a way to display headers one per row on part of page while using the standard header in a group for the rest.
I have results from a surey that I need to display and most of the survey is Strongly Agree, Agree, Neutral, Disagree, Strongly Disagree. But the first two rows involves time periods like 7a-10a, 10a-1p, 1p-4p, 4p-7p, Saturday and locations and these need to have headers to show what they are.
I am now using two table to do this with the data for time and location on one to split headers per row and survey results on the other to split headers by group. The data from the SQL Server 2008 does have a Survey_Order column to seperate the two sets.
I can not find a way to get all of it on one table and if anyone has a suggestions how to display all of the data using one table on the SSRS?
Instead of displaying true "headers" for the header row you want repeated one per data row, you can add a second data row. Style it to look like headers. Then set the Row Visibility to only show the row when the question needs this second header row.

I'm working on an SSRS matrix that draws information from an SQL database. Right now, the report works just fine on a small scale, but depending on parameters a report could return thousands of columns. I'd like to set up the matrix to split data into pages, with a maximum of 100 columns per page, both for ease of reading and performance.
I know how to do this with row groups in SSRS (=ceiling(rownumber(nothing)/100), but I can not find an equivalent for columns. Is there a way to do this?
There is no direct equivalent to create page breaks on columns. However, there are some ways you could work around this. If you're concerned about printing, you could adjust the page size both in the report and in whichever program you export to. Besides that, I'm not sure why you would want to break it up in the first place.
Another option would be to create a calculated field similar to the row number that segments the data into groups of 100 columns in the SQL and then use a row page break on that. So you would have the first 100 columns on one page and the next 100 on the next page and so on. However, if a row has attributes in many of those columns, the output may be difficult to interpret as the data for each row is broken out onto multiple pages.
I have a data set where i'm using a table to display Name, Radio #, and Unit # information in SSRS tablix. As some of the groups have 60+ members, i thought it would be better to expand the tables into 4 columns repeating those detail fields instead of displaying a 3 page long skinny table. In the SQL i used a row count%4 function to assign a "position" number 0-3 for each name. If i create a table with the detail members above and then add a parent column group on position, i get the tables repeated as i want but each name/radio/unit appears on a unique row. I've tried several different ways of grouping rows/columns but always seem to get this staggered table (with only name/radio to make it easier to digest): sample_pic
Sorry if this is a duplicate. I've really searched quite a bit before putting this in but it's probably the case that if i knew what to search, i wouldn't be putting this question in. So if you'd rather tell me what to search i can do that too. :)
SSRS will display a row in the table for each row returned from the dataset, this is normal behaviour for data to display.
One way to get what you want is to create a query which has all the information form your column headings in one row, probably with a pivot or similar.
Or you could just display your columns in separate tables.
I currently building one report in which the same data has to be repeated on multiple pages.
- So, I have a field (Quantity) based on which I have to decide the times' data has to be displayed. For example, if the quantity is 5, the report has to print 5 pages with each page printing the same data. This is usually used when we print Shipment labels.
Is it possible to achive this in SSRS. Grouping would have solved my issue but since the value that I have is a scalar, I am not sure if it is possible.
Any inputs/Suggestions.
You can repeat contents on multiple pages by placing it all inside a grouped cell. See my answer here for more detailed instructions on that. For this particular case, you would want to have a column in your dataset that has the desired quantity.
One way to do this would be to cross join your query with a subquery that has your desired quantity. Then you can group by the new column and get the same data within every instance of it.
I have a requirement on a report that requires me to replicate a certain page based on a certain data. For example Process page = 5 so therefore the page on which it has the process must be replicated 5 times. Is this possible programmatically on SSRS?
Thanks
As #Filburt pointed out. You can do this with a subreport.
You need to build a dataset that will contain one row per page to be repeated, so in this case just a list of numbers 1 to 5 will suffice. Then add a table to your report that uses this dataset as it's source. Make the table one column wide and insert your subreport into the only cell. This will produce a 5 row table each of which will contain a copy of your subreport.
First, you need to duplicate the results that needs to be replicated:
Oracle duplicate row N times where N is a column
Then you can add page group:
How to do page grouping in ssrs?
I am creating a report in SSRS. I have a table showing the date and time the report was generated, it's a single column table with one expression =Now() and is not linked to any datasets.
The trouble I am having is that it returns 77 rows all with the exact same date. My main dataset returns 77 rows in a different table but that table is not linked to this one in any way.
How can I stop it from returning so many rows? The reason I'm using a table and not a text box is because I want it to have the same look and feel as other data presented in my report i.e. Header Row and Data Presented underneath. There are a few tables that use the same approach and all of them are returning duplicate rows. As you can see from the image below, I just need the first row from each table.
EDIT: Looks like SSRS automatically references a dataset when I insert a new table. When I change the table properties dataset to none it returns an error. Is there a way around this? I don't want data from any dataset, just want to use an simple expression =now()
As you've seen, a Tablix requires a DataSet, and when you only have one DataSet in a report it will link to this DataSet automatically in some circumstances.
You've mentioned you don't want to use Textboxes, but this does seem like the easiest option.
If you're set on using a Tablix for ease of formatting, to prevent any repeating rows just delete the Details group that gets set up by default when you create a Table through the designer:
This leaves a table with one header row only - you can add more header rows as required:
The result is a table that will only display the header rows once, i.e. no repeating rows.
You can add Summary data or individual fields from the DataSet to these header rows; if no aggregation is specified it will just take the first row by default.
