Pivot a table in reporting services? - reporting-services

Is it possible to pivote a table in reporting services 2008? If so, how?
I'd like to pivote it 90 degrees.
Thanks

In SSRS 2008, there isn't much difference between rows and columns.* A Table is an instance of a "Tablix" which has the detail group on the rows. You can have your table either repeat rows or columns based on the groupings and where the details group is set.
You can create a horizontally expanding table by:
First create a Tablix by dragging the Matrix Report Item onto the design surface. The Tablix will have a RowGroup and a ColumnGroup by default.
Delete the Row Group by right clicking on it and selecting "Delete Group" In the Delete Group prompt, delete just the group (Not related rows and columns; you'll probably want these as left label for your rows.)
Add the Details group as a Child Group of the Column Group. Do this by Right clicking on the Column Group and "Add Group->Child Group..." Select Show Details Data.
The resulting tablix should look something like this:
You can now add columns, rows, groups, etc.
*One minor difference that comes to mind is that you can merge cells horizontally, but not vertically.

Row Visibility in SSRS Report

I am new to SSRS report, I am having data as below
I need to display the data as below format
Please give me some details how to group the columns, and conditional display of rows in the tablix grid. I have tried but row visibility condition not working and I am getting US region also for Samuel employee with Asia region data
Thanks
Actually, you do NOT want to use Row Visibility. You just need to show the data, if there's no data for a region, it will not appear.
Add a List and Group By Manager and Dept. This will Group your data by manager.
Add a Column. Add 2 Rows Inside Group. Make 1 for the Manager and the other for the Dept. Make the 3rd row big enough for the Employee/Region data.
Add a Table and group by Region. Add your fields. Put the table in the List box. Since the table is inside the list, the list will show the records for the manager in the list.
Here's what it should look like when the list is selected:
And here's what the inner table would look like:

SSRS: How to expend report details horizontally and vertically simultaneously to use minimum pages

I am working with AX to create an RDP based SSRS report and I need help with a certain design requirement in SSRS report.
I need to show student data in header detail style but with header group based on Class Id and detail group based on Student Id.
And the SSRS shows detail data in simple tabular style like this..
But I want the detail data to expend horizontally first in four columns and then goes into next row for another four values and so on.. So that report would use minimum pages possible to show all the data.
Below is snapshot of the sample output I want to achieve:
Kindly suggest if there is any solution to obtain this.
Thanks.
You can use a matrix to force grouping by rows of 4 cells that you can put your current table with Student and Marks in.
Your data would need a ROW_NUMBER added to it in order for the data to be sorted into groups of 4. You could just add another column to your data ROW_NUMBER()OVER(ORDER BY STUDENT_ID) AS ROW_NUM.
Add a matrix to the report and remove the row and column headers so there's only 1 cell remaining (I had to remove them and add the Group back in and remove it again) and set it to the same DataSetName as your current table.
Row Grouping:
=INT((Fields!ROW_NUM.Value - 1) / 4)
Column Grouping:
=Fields!ROW_NUM.Value MOD 4
This will sort your data to have groups of 4 with a column grouping of 0 on the first row.
Then size the cell to fit your table with the Student ID and Marks and put your table in the cell.
I'm not aware of a feature in the SSRS report designer that would allow you to do this. However, you could create a table to be used as data source for the report that has the necessary structure. The table would have 4 student id and 4 marks fields. This should allow you to create the desired design.

SSRS - Merging cells of specific columns

I am developing a complex report in SSRS which should like below
Screenshot 1
output returned by stored proc have multiple rows of one User ID and based on that columns "Successful Orders -- Online - Total Orders", "Successful Orders -- Online - Total Amount" & likewise Retail - Total, Other - Total columns cells should be merged based on respective User Id.
I have used tablix control and tried adding grouping over columns which needs to be merged but it is not working as expected. in order to group I am setting Sum of returned Value in cell but yet no luck.
Can you please provide me some pointers in order to achieve whats expected. please let me know if you need more information
output after adding nested tablix

also, distorted output with inner tablix. borders are causing issues

Try placing a tablix in the cells containing the multiple rows to display them. Basically, you need to switch your approach from "How do I merge these cells?" to "How do I split these cells." Set up your grouping at the level you want your totals and then in each of the columns where you want the details displayed, add a tablix to display the details. You'll need to play with the grouping a bit to get it display correctly.
More details:
The sample you provided above should be one group level row, not multiple detail level rows. Add your group to that Tablix and the summaries you want for your Total columns. Then Merge each of the "Mode" and "Count" column pairs and insert a Tablix into that merged cell with the same grouping as the row with the Totals, but with only the Details row displayed (don't add group header or footer and delete the blank row and summary column that automatically gets added). Now just set your field values for Mode and Count and adjust your column widths to match the headings.
Here's a REALLY simple report that displays a Plant and the employees associated with that plant. This is the top level where you Totals group would go. The next image is the "inner" part, where you would add in another Tablix with the same group(s), but only the details displayed.
This is super simple example and you may need to include additional levels of grouping to match your report, but the fundamentals still the same - an "outer" Tablix with an "inner" Tablix with matching group(s).
There's a lot you can do with this approach by manipulating the groups, hiding/displaying different groups or even hiding the details and displaying subtotals.

Creating a group in SSRS

I have around 10 tables in an ssrs report and I need to add a group which includes them all. Is there a way to do that in ssrs?
I know how to create column and row groups within a single tablix, but I am not able to do the same for more than one tablix.
I created a table with a single cell, then inserted a rectangle in it and then copy/pasted all the tables in there. Then added a row group and it works!!

Exclude hidden table row from total

I've created a table with a group filter so some values stay hidden.
However, the row that shows the sum() of the above values, still counts the filtered values.
Usually I would apply the filter to the query, but I'm also using this same dataset in other tables on the same report so that's not an option.
Am I missing something here, or is this a flaw in MS Reporting Services?
This appears to be a "feature" of SSRS, apparently because it calculates values in table headers and footers before rendering the detail section of a data table.
One way around this would be to add a derived Boolean column to your dataset (assuming your data source is SQL Server, using a CASE statement or similar) showing whether the row should be excluded from the table where the filter is required.
You can then change your table filter to check the indicator, and use a expression to carry out a conditional sum to aggregate the correct total. Something like
=SUM(Iif(Fields!ExcludeRow.Value = True,0,Fields!ValueToSum.Value))
It's more of a question than answer...
How to resolve this issue if you know whether the row is hidden or not ONLY at the Row Group level?
i.e. if you're filtering on the totals by this Row Group, i.e. you cannot have a field indicating if Row is excluded or not in a dataset.
ex: I have AR Aging report which has totals per months, patients. I need to filter out negative totals per patients (Patient row group), but I have column groups as well - per month, so my dataset cannot be per-patient granularity and therefore, the only place SSRS can decide whether to hide or show the row is on the Row Group level...
I had the same issue but I had too many column totals where to enter the Iif().
I resolved it by removing the filter from the group and putting the filter into the Tablix Properties dialog box (Select Tablix, Right-click the top left corner grey box and choose Tablixc Properties).
