How to display average in an SSRS table? - reporting-services

I am using SSRS 2008 and one of my rows is supposed to return the average of a certain field. But currently it just displays all of the rows instead of one row with the average. How do I implement this?
Currently the stored proc for this RDL file returns all of the records. So I tried using the "Avg(<field value>)" function in SSRS for the SSRS expression. And then I grouped this row on the <field value>. I removed filtering so it should average all rows now.
I'm guessing the cause is the grouping. Any ideas though?

I think you need a totals row. Right-click on the group and then Add Totals Then you should be able to put your Avg(<field value>) in that cell.

Getting SSRS to aggregate as rows instead of columns

I've constructed a cube using SSAS, and I'm using that cube to fuel an SSRS report. Using Excel, I can generate reports as pivot tables from the SSAS source, and I'm trying to replicate some of that functionality as a report in SSRS instead.
Here's how I have the thing set up in Excel:
As you can see from the pictures, I have several stats that are being displayed per row rather than per column. The results that are displayed per row are aggregated statistics (sum, count, etc...).
How do I accomplish this same thing using SSRS? In Excel, it was simply a question of saying "Move to Row Labels".
You can create a Matrix, set the column group to be by fiscal calendar .
Within the row group you will need to add additional detail rows and place each value on the row.
This should give you the desired results more of less.

SSRS Timeline Report from two different datasets

2008 SSRS
Hi, I am trying to make a timeline chart using two different datasets in my report. My first PERMIT NO works and counts perfectly. However, when I use my second PERMIT NO from the second dataset, it will sum them for each day. It should be showing 2 on 7/16, 1 on 7/17, and 0 for the rest of the month. But as you can see, for some reason it puts 3 for each day and I'm not sure why. Here is my expression being used:
Count(Fields!PERMIT_NO.Value, "DataSet2")
How would I go about fixing this? I tried sum, countdistinct, etc. but nothing worked properly.

Chart Properties
Unfortunately, your count is getting the count of all PERMIT_NOs in DataSet2. The COUNT doesn't filter by your date.
You'll need to use a LOOKUPSET to get the data and then a VBA function like SUMLookup to SUM them.
Here's an answer that's similar to yours. Since you want a COUNT, use the number 1 to SUM instead of your PERMIT_NO field.

MDX of records returned

I'm building SSRS report. In Query Designer I have a report query. I need to count total records returned by this query.
How I can achieve this?
You can use MDX for counting rows and show the result in the report but that would imply the creation of an additional dataset. The easiest way if you need to show the count of rows is using COUNTROWS() function.
In a SSRS textbox, tablix or expression you need to get the total of rows of an specific dataset use:
=COUNTROWS("DataSetName")
Replace DataSetName by the actual name of the dataset you created using Query Designer.
Let me know if this helps.

Get Row Count in SSRS Report Builder

I have built a report using Report Builder 3.0 (that uses SQL Server 2008 R2). Now i wish to now how many records are being fetched from database to the report?
This is possible either by count function in SSRS or by using RANK/ROW_NUMBER function in SQL Query and assigning that as field to the report (RANK/ROW_NUMBER would give us rank to each row and navigating to last page in report would help me getting the total row count).
I tried count function but that counts on some field in the report. For instance = Count(Field!FieldName.value, "DataSetName") Problem in this approach: "FieldName" is not unique in the report and hence the counts get repetitive
Second option: Added Rank/Row_Number but they too use the same kind of fieldName and hence here too the counts get duplicated.
Main Problem: There is no field in my query that is unique (and hence i tried ROW_NUMBER())
How can i find the total row count or rank (for each row) in SSRS 2008?
Use the CountRows function. For example
=CountRows("MyDataset")
will give you the number of rows in MyDataSet.
As someone else mentioned above, I couldn't get CountRows("DatasetName") to work in the header until I wrapped it thusly:CSTR(CountRows("DatasetName")).
In the Tablix control's properties, there's a property name called NoRowsMessage put your message here when no row is returned.
you can't put aggregation values into the detail wihtout grouping.
Solution is below:
=Count(Fields!rn.Value)
I use it inside the column/header row.
I found a workaround for this. First create a data column with the value always set to 1. This will provide a value of one for each row of data.
Query Column
, 1 AS Unit
Use the "RunningValue" function into your report as shown below.
=RunningValue(Fields!Unit.Value,Sum,"DataSet")
This will also work as a 'running sum' if that's something you're looking for.

Make Tablix Column group show when filter returns no rows - SSRS

I am working on some SSRS reports and am running into an issue where Tablix Column groups drop from the table when the filter returns no rows.
Is there any way to make this column appear but with empty cells? I have another tablix grouping adjacent with the same columns and I want the columns to all line up on the multiple tablix.
Am I just missing a simple option?
Maybe add a
UNION SELECT '', n ..., '';
clause to your report query? It's ugly but should work. If you go this route, add a comment for your colleagues (or your future self) that will have to maintain the report.
I have not been able to make these columns appear on the SSRS report end. Specifically I am getting data by month for display. My solution is make a "Result" table on the SQL side with $0 for every combination, then update this table.
Frustrating, but it works.
