Reporting Services - List of lists - reporting-services

I have a report which displays the area, a list of diagnoses for the area, how many diagnoses for each diagnosis, and a percentage. This works fine, however I want to choose and display the data for many areas.
Currently, I have one choice for the area, and it shows all the diagnoses for the chosen area in a table. Essentially, I want to make a list of this tables, so it can be repeated for as many areas as required.
I think that this can be performed by putting the table in a listbox, and setting the tablix to filter for each area, but if I try this, I get:
Error 1 [rsInvalidDetailDataGrouping] The tablix ‘Tablix1’ has a detail member
with inner members. Detail members can only contain static inner members.
It's hard to explain exactly what I need. At the moment, all the diagnoses are displayed, but they are all listed as being from the same area. I need a list of diagnoses from area 1, then a list from area 2, then area 3 etc. The percentages need to be the percentage from that area, currently they are the percentage of all areas.
What is the best way to do this?

Don't put the table in a list - just use grouping on the table.
Let's say you now want a multiple vaue parameter called #Areas to choose the areas and then print them all out, say separated by a page break. I assume you have something like a table for Diagnoses and a table DiagnosisItems for the items performed in a diagnosis. So your SQL looks something like this:
SELECT Diagnoses.Area, Diagnoses.DiagnosisDate, Diagnoses.Description,
COUNT(*) AS TotalDiagnoses
FROM Diagnoses
INNER JOIN DiagnosisItems ON Diagnoses.DiagnosisId = DiagnosisItems.DiagnosisId
WHERE Diagnoses.Area IN #Areas
GROUP BY Diagnoses.Area, Diagnoses.DiagnosisDate, Diagnoses.Description
ORDER BY Diagnoses.Area, Diagnoses.DiagnosisDate, Diagnoses.Description
Click on your table then right-click the grey handle that appears on the left hand side in the Detail row. Choose Add Group and group by Area. Add a group header and a group footer. In the table, put the Area in the group header and in the group footer put Area and the total diagnoses for that area:
=SUM(Fields!TotalDiagnoses.Value)
Now on your Detail row for the percentage you'll use an expression like this:
=Fields!TotalDiagnoses.Value / SUM(Fields!TotalDiagnoses.Value, "table1_Group1")
Right-click on the group handle, select Row Group-Group Properties-Page Breaks and check page breaks between each instance of a group.

I don't think you need to put a filter on the tablix. Just set the grouping on the list and add the tablix.

Hiding a row if text box is hidden

I have a report that lists parts required for a job, and then within each part it has rows that show locations and quantities of parts on-hand. The main list has a header (part number, description, quantity) which is only shown once at the top because it is not within the grouping. However, the second header (on-hand quantity, location) is within the grouping so it repeats. I would like it to only show once.
I have tried using the hide duplicates property for the header text boxes, but this still leaves blank rows. I have also tried setting the row visibility using a comparison between ReportItem!lblOnHand.Value and Previous(ReportItem!lblOnHand.Value) but this gives me an aggregate error.
This is what the report is displaying now:
You need to set the row visibility rather than the individual text boxes. Right-click the row header to access the setting..
You should (untested) be able to use the same logic as you have now. If this does not work then you will need to test if the group is the first group and use that in the expression, something like...
=Fields!Partnumber.Value <> FIRST(Fields!Partnumber.Value, "myGroupOrDatasetNameHere")
The above would hide thew row if the part number in the current context is not the same as the first part number in the group or dataset name specified.

SSRS Report Page Break Logic for Groups in a single report

I have created an SSRS table element where we have multiple grouped items like below generated in a Portrait mode.
Problem:
Whenever there are many items in a single group, some items in the group get spilled over to the next page. That is, a page break is applied.
Example,
If there are 3 groups in a table, and 2nd group contains 50 items, 30 are displayed on the first page, page breaks and then the remaining 20 are displayed on the second page and so on until all the remaining groups are displayed. This is a normal scenario which happens by default.
Expected Solution:
What is expected is, if the data region of any of the group spills over to the next page, then the whole group along with the group header needs to be shifted to the next page. The idea is to have the whole data region of the group stay together.
This is like a smart table (group split).
This is dynamic in nature in the sense, where if for a group with less rows, it fits and stays together on a single page, then page break doesn't happen.
I tried multiple options like below but none of them worked.
- Change the Keep Together flag of the Grouped rows and the Data Region to True.
- Add a page break after each row group using the Group properties.
Can someone please let me know if there is at all a way to achieve the smart page break like the one expected above?
You can't do that but there are two ways that you can do.
You can remove paging of SSRS report. to remove Paging by opening property window of report and set InteractiveSize's Height value to 0. it will remove paging of the report
You can repeat your Group header if there to another page as well so that user have idea about this data belongs to which group.

Page Break on Change of Column Value

I have a simple customer history report that has the following elements:
Header that contains the customer name and customer ID pulled from 1 of 2 datasets
Rectangle that contains a list which provides some details order items like date ordered date shipped invoice number and such.
Sub report placed within the list area that contains table with order details.
This report functions fine if I call one customer at a time. I need to print multiple customers at a time so I have multiple values for my parameter. When I try to call more then one customer I get the following results:
The header prints with the first customer data and shows it on all pages. The list renders as designed but pulls all customers data so it appears there is just one customer.
What I need is a page break for each customer. When I new page starts I need the customer name to be shown on all of the pages that group will print. Placing the name at the top of the first page only does not work for my situation. I have tried placing pages breaks after the list. I have placed page breaks after the containing rectangle and I have created another rectangle and nested the original rectangle within this new parent with a page break on the new parent but none of these will work. I have also tried placing the customer info in the header but all I get is the information from the first record in the dataset.
This seems like a simple report but I just cannot seem to get the page break to fire when the customer ID changes.
In the properties of your List object, go to PageBreak, and set BreakLocation to "End".
Make sure Disabled is set to "False".
I was able to solve my problem by using the information at these 2 sites
Solved the problem of getting the page to break after the list
This allowed me to have a page break for each customer. It placed another row in the tablix that contained the group on field, which in my case was the name. I had to make a modification to hide this new row so I changed it's width to a very small space and set it property to hidden. I then placed a text box above my list to show the name there.
Solved name at top of every page in the group

SSRS format rows on report

I have a simple report that groups rows on PERSON then on DATE. I have these two groups in the grouping pane with the DETAILS GROUP below.
The trouble with this is that I end up with PERSON AND DATE appearing at the top of the first 2 columns on the left, but the rest of these two columns are just empty space which is wasting a lot of space on the left hand side of the page.
How can I format so that I keep the same grouping but have the PERSON and DATE appearing together on the first row only with all other data displayed below. This grouping would then show again as a single row whenever the group changes (which it does at the moment, but with loads of dead space on the page on the left hand side)
I've tried adding a 'column group' of PERSON AND DATE, but this ends up with the report being massive horizontally.
thanks
You could put your table control inside a list control and give them both the same datasource and grouping. Then put your PERSON and DATE fields in the list control and position them as you like. The table would only be there to display the detail and wouldn't have fields for PERSON and DATE.
Just Right click on the Grouping Column that was automatically added on the Tablix, and Delete that Column.
And, You have additional Two rows (Group header) above the Detail row : Person Group, and Date Group.
Simply, Select the Cells inside that Row, and Right click and Merge So, that you only have a Single Cell inside the Group Header. And, Write an expression inside that Cell according to your Group Header Requirement i.e. If you want to Show Person : PersonName in Group header of Person Group Then, Merge and Right click on that cell and Goto Expression then Type :
="Client : " + DataSet!Fields!FieldName
Do, the Same for the Another Date Group.
I hope you understoood.

SSRS 2005 - How to tell when Group has changed

Is there a way to determine when a Grouping has changed in SSRS 2005?
For example, if you are grouping on OrderID, displaying the Order Header info, and the details are the Order_Items etc... Is there an event to check for to tell when the "new" OrderID has appeared?
Are you able to somehow compare the current OrderID to the previous OrderID in the group?
I have multiple groupings in a report, and this group in particular is the 3rd group, and on the Grouping change, I want to make the border of the Group Header solid. There are certain occasions depending how the groups change, the boarder is left as "None" and it looks odd in the report.
Edit: (Here is an Image Example)
I have managed it so far by adding an additional row to another grouping, and making the row height .03125. It gives off the desired appearance, but I thought there was a way to tell when the grouping changed. Maybe grouping row number = 0 or something?
Theres not really an event, but you should know that when you create a group you can include a group footer within the group. The groups details ends once it hits the footer of the group.
I personally like to use this to create row border style (bottom) with a line to get a nice effect allowing me to see when the group is complete.
Something to this effect:
