I have a report with a Tablix. The purpose of this report is to output an Excel friendly report so that users can work and manipulate columns and cells and sort on data. My Tablix contains 2 subreports. One of the subreports may return multiple rows and when it does, it causes data in my Tablix to merge multiple rows on Excel output.
Note: The subreports are needed because the data lies at to different geographical locations, so webservices are used to return external data.
I had to do some additional work to make sure that multiple rows were not returned and limit the return data to 1 row.

I am looking to build a report in SSRS that has 3 columns, similar to the data below.
The query behind the report returns a single row for every field in the 3 columns.
The report returns 20 rows for example, with 50 fields each pertaining to the elements outlined below.
However when I view the report I only see the first rows output. I need to create the elements in very particular positions and don't want to use tables and concatenate fields. I need a flat report 8.5 x 11 with elements in specific positions.
How do I fix the grouping so the report returns every row sent from the query.
There is no table, no groups. Only a single page with elements on it.
Please advise.
I am writing an SSRS report using report builder and have my main report and a sub report - I have had to do this because one of the figures is in a different table. The main report shows a customer column an amount column then my subreport column - in the next column I need to show these two figures added together, there is then a further column with another figure in and the final column will deduct the fourth from the calculated third - I dont know how to write an expression which incorporates the subreport value.
You can't retrieve values from a subreport like you wish as that's not how subreports work.
When you run the SSRS report, the parent report passes parameters to the sub-report (the only data transfer between the two), the subreport is rendered and then the rendered subreport is inserted back into the parent report as the parent report is rendered.
As I see it, you have two options to tackle the problem.
1) Join the data from the two tables in your source query so that all the appropriate information is within one dataset in your report.
2) Use the Lookup function to retrieve values from the second dataset. This is a very flexible option and one that I highly recommend that you review for scenarios like this.
I have a report using cascading parameters and sub-reports in SSRS.
I am able to print the report correctly for single student but when I select multiple ids I see that the data gets mixed up in the sub-reports.
I made sure I am using row grouping for studentID in all my sub-reports.
Any idea if I am missing anything?
I have a specific type report that I need to generate multiple copies of. What I want to do is pass a string of report IDs to SSRS and generate all of the individual reports (let call them subreports) with those IDs in one master report with each subreport on a new page. I've already tried making a subreport and placing it in a table with grouping. This worked the closest so far. It gave me all the pages I needed, but it generated the report for the first ID number over and over. Is there anyway to do this or am I gonna have to jump through a lot of hoops?
If you are passing the string of report IDs to a parameter on the master report, I think using a table and subreport should work. You'll need a way to split out the report IDs using a dataset on the master report and return them one per row (so you can pass each report ID individually to the subreport via the details row of the table).
I was going to recommend a table-valued parameter for this, but since they don't exist in SQL Server 2005 check out Arrays and Lists in SQL Server 2005 by Erland Sommarskog for a few other options.
In SSRS 2005 I have a report with two matrix with two data sets. The report was running fine based when ran on different parameters.
Now I have been asked to modify the report and place another option in the parameter for "All" this will retrieve the results of all parameters and once extracted to Excel it will create different sheets in Excel for based on each parameters results.
For the above purpose I am using a list so each parameter result would be on one page but the problem is when I add the two matrix in the list the second matrix only retrieve values of first data set as the column names are similar. I can provide the second matrix value of second dataset with First(Fields!Site.Value,"Second DataSet") but it obviously picks up only the first value from the second dataset.
I was wondering if there is anyway I can use two datasets in a list and the second dataset picks up all the values and not just only the first value.
Or is there a better way to achieve the above in SSRS.
1) remove First from this expression : First(Fields!Site.Value,"Second DataSet")
2) your expression should be only =Fields!Site.Value. No need to provide dataset name"Second DataSet".
