SSRS 2008 CSV Export appending column names to each row - reporting-services

I am trying to export CSV in SSRS 2008. I am getting my data, but on top of that the column names are being appended to the front of each row.
So if my report is this:
ColA ColB ColC
1 1 1
2 2 2
3 3 3
My CSV Export looks like this:
ColA,ColB,ColC,1,1,1
ColA,ColB,ColC,2,2,2
ColA,ColB,ColC,3,3,3
Where is this coming from? I have never had this issue in an SSRS report before.I have tried setting some of the output properties for these columns, but when I do that, I lose the entire column.

The .csv export will include each groups fields with rows underneath. Sounds like you have these labels in a group total row. If the labels are just in headers they shouldn't be included in the data of the report.
One indicator of header rows versus Group total rows are the icons on the left side of the tablix when a cell is selected. Header rows will have a blank gray square. Group Totals will have part of a bracket/parenthesis.

SSRS CSV export - Removing blank row between report elements

When exporting a SSRS report to a (custom made, delimiter = ';', no header) csv file a blank row appears between different report elements. I have a textbox which is serving as a header and a table with the data rows. Like this:
isvexport_300123_000000
data row 1,
data row 2
...
The desired output (a strict format) is
isvexport_300123_000000
data row 1,
data row 2
...
The textbox and table elements are placed exactly under each other. When exporting to Excel, there is no blank row between the elements.
Is there a way to prevent the csv export from putting a blank row between the different report elements?
I already tried putting ExcelMode = False as rendering option, but that just fills the textbox (header) on every row, which is not desirable.
isvexport_300123_000000, data row 1,
isvexport_300123_000000, data row 2
...

SSRS Expression to extract all Names in an Name Field

I have a query that pulls three fields, over 9000 rows (A-Z, names):
I am trying to extract by all "A" name Agencies, "B", and so on into Excel worksheets by each A,B,C,etc., once we render and save the report.
Can someone help with an Expression that will accomplish this?
Thanks,
jer
First create a calculated field in the dataset to get the first letter of each agency.
=Left(Fields!AgencyName.Value, 1)
Next, set up a table (aka tablix or matrix) with two row groups. The parent group should be sorted and grouped by the new FirstLetter column. In this group's properties, set it to break at the end of each group. Also set the PageName property to be the FirstLetter.
The child row group should be grouped by nothing so that it will show every detail row. Sort it by Agency name if desired.
What you should get now is a page for each letter and within each page a row for each agency. When you export to Excel it will create a sheet for each "page" and name them all accordingly.

Dynamically Add\Remove columns SSRS 2012

I have SSRS report that has around 80+ columns. I have requirement where in dynamically hide\show columns in report based on user selection. I could able to do it by setting expression for "Visiblity" property and having report parameter thro' which columns to display can be choosen.
My problem is 2 points
fox example if columns 2 and 4 to be hidden, then there is an empty column between 1 and 3 and 5 columns. How to avoid this
When i export to PDF / Excel these spaces prevail.
Let me know your suggestions / help.
You can create a query that pivots your data, so that instead of a return table like this:
ColumnName0, ColumnName1, ColumnName2
Value[0][0], Value[0][1], Value[0][2]
Value[1][0], Value[1][1], Value[1][2]
You could format it like this
ColumnName, Value0, Value2
ColumnName0, Value[0][0], Value[1][0]
ColumnName1, Value[0][1], Value[1][1]
ColumnName2, Value[0][2], Value[1][2]
And then your first column (ColumnName) would always be your title, and you could use it as your column group. You might have to use a dynamic query for this, but it would take care of both items 1 and 2 in your question.

Display data in SSRS

I have two tables on the SSRS report which displays data depending on the results returned by a single dataset.
The second table displays a subset of data which is displayed on the first depending on some parameters.Now I would like to implement a functionality which displays "no rows" in the second table if the countrows=0 (subset returned from first table) and display the data(subset of data in the first table) if the countrows>0
How can I implement this?
There is a property on the table called "NoRows" that allows you to enter any text you want to show if there are no rows returned.
you can also use this solution:
for your dataset2 click the tablix and at the bottom you shall have Row groups. Click on each of the row groups. So if you have 1 child and 1 parent you will have to do this on both.
1) Right click group_child->group properties->filters and put the following expression "=IsNothing(Fields!Group_Child.Value)="True"" "; set it as boolean expression and 'value'='False' and you will have to do same for Group_parent1 thru n.
This will display NO rows if you have NO data for bottom dataset. If this is the same thing you want to do with Tablix 1 go for it.

SSRS 2005 - How do I find the value of a cell 1 column over and 2 rows up?

I am trying to find the value of a cell 1 column over and 2 rows up using something like excels offset
You can get the value of a cell if the cell has a name using the following
ReportItems!YourCellValueGoesHere.Value
You can't: there is no column or row collection as such to use.
In addition, matrix controls, grouping, and merged cells would further complicate this
