I have a report that i'm trying to display in a matrix. The Row is grouped by a column called Category. The column name is vcName. The detail is vcTaskName. The part that i can't seem to figure out is that only one row will show up even if there are multipal tasknames with that row value.
Try to give an example.
Category vcTaskName vcName
a task1 dog
a task2 dog
a task3 cat
a task4 bird
so with Category being the row, only task1 is showing up for dog, task 2 doesn't display. for cat and bird task 3 and task 4 show up correctly. None of these three have anything in the expression to limit it to first.
Anyway... i hope that is enough info to get started.
Thanks

You can only display one value in a cell in a matrix - normally, this is some sort of aggregate value. In order to display multiple values, you need to have multiple cells - this means adding another group to either the rows or the columns.
Assuming that each task name is going to be different (as in the sample data), I suggest adding a new column to your query to hold the running count of vcTaskName within the Category and vcName - so your data would look like this:
Category vcTaskName vcName TaskRunCount
a task1 dog 1
a task2 dog 2
a task3 cat 1
a task4 bird 1
and then add a second group to the Tablix on the TaskRunCount - this will ensure that task1 and task2 will appear on separate lines in the dog column.
YOu will have to do a screen capture or print of the report and paste here, it appears you have placed the field in a grouping. Wether there is an expression or not doesnt matter, once you place a field in a group reporting services assumes the function FIRST().

Have two tables users and user_demographics
users has the basic structure of (does have more fields but not needed here):
id name email gender age ethnicity
1 test1 test1#test.com 1 1 1
2 test2 test2#test.com 1 2 1
3 test3 test3#test.com 2 3 2
4 test4 test4#test.com 3 1 1
5 test5 test5#test.com 2 4 5
**Gender**:
1 - Male,
2 - Female,
3 - Prefer not to say
**Age**:
1 - 16-20,
2 - 21-24,
3 - 25-30,
4 - 31-24
**Ethnicity**:
1 - White,
2 - Black,
5 - Prefer not to say
and so on and currently have around 1000 users.
user_demographics structure is:
coreid, type, option (for the sake of this question 'type' will be text, just to make it clearer)
coreid, type option
1 gender 1
1 gender 2
1 age 1
1 age 3
1 ethnicity 1
2 gender 2
2 gender 3
2 age 3
3 gender 1
On a web based form I have 3 sets of checkbox lists, one for each option gender, age, ethnicity and the a user can select multiple from each. They click update and these details are stored in the mysql database as above. coreid is related to another table, but not relevant here.
What I'm trying to do is get a total count of users for each coreid regardless of what type it is. The count should get smaller the more options you select. So coreid 3 should have the biggest count because I've only selected one option.
Example: coreid 3 is selecting all males
Example: coreid 2 is selecting all (females AND 'prefer not to say') AND age range 25-30
Struggling on how to create a single query that will give me the results I need, hope this makes sense.
The idea behind the over all system is that we have a large form that a user fill outs and we store in the information in the users table. Then a member of the admin team can go in and select these users by selecting options from the various demographics information we have collected. So they might just want to see everyone that has ticked the gender options of 'male' and 'prefer not to say' for example. Another admin member may go in and say they want all males, between the age of 25-30. Or they could just tick all options under gender. The idea is that they can select any combination and get a list of results. At the minute I just need to get a count back for the combination selected.
By the SOUNDS of it, you are probably going to need to do with dynamic SQL where you actually build the query on-the-fly, then execute that. Also, to clarify what I THINK you are asking is as follows. CoreID is like a set of filters that some manager is interested in getting count and or details of specific users. They are interested in
EITHER gender condition (1 or 2)
AND EITHER age condition (1 or 3)
AND just the one ethnicity
to possibly target products that might hit those demographics. So you would pre-query every record for CoreID = 1 then start building your query. You would want to order your query by the TYPE to group common items such as the gender, age, ethnicity categories.
Then, within your either localized code (not indicated such as C#, VB, java, whatever), you would need to build the query in such a way that you parenthesis OR those within same category, and logical AND between different such as
where
( Gender = 1
OR Gender = 2 )
AND ( Age = 1
OR Age = 3 )
AND ( Ethnicity = 1 )
If you are trying to write as a MySQL stored procedure, it would be a type of dynamic SQL query... either way, the WHERE clause needs to be constructed from the Core criteria someone is looking for.
You are correct, the last one would be easiest for CoreID = 3 would be a simple
WHERE ( Gender = 1 )
Clarify language source and I or others might be able to offer additional direction, but if I am accurate, you should try to write your own first pass of code, but I will shoot out a pseudo-code for you something like
Get Records Ordered for one CoreID, order by the type of criteria.
prep variable identifying if pending open Parenthesis
prep variable identifying last "type" building for.
for each record
If new type
if has Open Parenthesis
add closing paren
add logical AND before the next entry we are getting
add open parenthesis
set flag we have open parenthesis
else
since same type as last type, add logical OR
go to next record, repeat.
If after last record we would always need to close parenthesis even if a single criteria
I need to create a report which is something similar to a Pivot Table.
The report would be something like below, with more towns
I C S Total
Town1 1 2 3 6
Town2 7 1 1 9
Town3 2 3 1 6
Total 10 6 5 21
In Crystal reports, there is an integrated function called Cross table
(see pictures below)
I'm looking for a similar function in SSRS, if there is any. I parsed the internet but I could not find anything that is relevant
Thanks!
You need a matrix to do so
Select the row, once the matrix created, like the image below and click on the row group and look at the group properties
You then choose the row for which you want to do the grouping like the image below
Repeat the operations for the column group.
You will need to add additional row and columns for the total.
I will do that for the row. You click the row to highlight it and then click on insert rows. You then choose Outside group below like in the picture below
Repeat the operations for the column group.
To have total, please put the following formula in your row and column created outside of the group SUM(COUNT(Fields!name_of_your_field.Value)) and you have the double entry table.
Let me know through the comments if you have any issues, I'll happy to help.
I need help regarding SSRS Reporting my data is Coming from a Query and I also have added the Column Group Named as Subject Name Showing on the top of the Table() Also Added ApplicantID as Row Group and FName as a Row Group in the Report to fulfill my requirement that was just to show
Since I am not Sure how many subjects a user can select its all decide on the run time so i did added the Subject name as a column group
All the Subject records in a single row for a specific ApplicantId Instead of showing below my Requirement is
It Should looks like as a table
Anatomy Surgery Zoology
Part ISt
14 Hanan Qureshi Iqbal Qureshi 15.00 20.00 10.00
15 Tasneem Alam Imtiaz Alam 30.00 10.00 20.00
etc instead of Showing in a seperate row it should show in a single row
Details group is your problem as #hemanth said you need to remove this and add in an aggregate function (max, min, sum, average) any will work since there is only one value for each SubjectName, Obtained Mark Combo. this will give you all the marks on one line for each applicant.
I have a table in a SSRS report that is displaying only a group, not the table details. I want to find out the row number for the items that are being displayed so that I can use color banding. I tried using "Rowcount(Nothing)", but instead I get the row number of the detail table.
My underlying data is something like
ROwId Team Fan
1 Yankees John
2 Yankees Russ
3 Red Socks Mark
4 Red Socks Mary
...
8 Orioles Elliot
...
29 Dodgers Jim
...
43 Giants Harry
My table showing only the groups looks like this:
ROwId Team
2 Yankees
3 Red Socks
8 Orioles
29 Dodgers
43 Giants
I want it to look like
ROwId Team
1 Yankees
2 Red Socks
3 Orioles
4 Dodgers
5 Giants
You can do this with a RunningValue expression, something like:
=RunningValue(Fields!Team.Value, CountDistinct, "DataSet1")
DataSet1 being the name of the underlying dataset.
Consider the data:
Creating a simple report and comparing the RowNumber and RunningValue approaches shows that RunningValue gives your required results:
You can easily achieve this with a little bit of vbcode. Go to Report - Properties - code and type something like:
Dim rownumber = 0
Function writeRow()
rownumber = rownumber + 1
return rownumber
End Function
Then on your cell, call this function by using =Code.writeRow()
As soon as you start using groups inside the tables, the RowNumber and RunningGroup functions start getting some weird behaviours, thus it's easier to just write a bit of code to do what you want.
I am not convinced all suggestions above provide are a one for all solution. My scenario is I have a grouping that has has multiple columns. I could not use the agreed solution RunningValue because I don't have a single column to use in the function unless I combine (say a computed column) them all to make single unique column.
I could not use the VBA code function as is for the same reason and I had to use the same value across multiple columns and multiple properties for that matter unless I use some other kind of smarts where if I knew the number of uses (say N columns * M properties) then I could only update the RowNumber on every NxM calls however, I could not see any count columns function so if I added a column I would also need to increase my N constant. I also did not want to add a new column as also suggested to my grouping as I could not figure out how to hide it and I could not write a vba system where I could call function A that returns nothing but updates the value (i.e. called only once per group row) then call another function GetRowNumber which simply returns the rownumber variable because the colouring was done before the call so I always had one column out of sync to the rest.
My only other 2 solutions I could think of is put the combined column as mentioned earlier in the query itself or use DENSE_RANK and sort on all group columns, i.e.
DENSE_RANK() OVER (ORDER BY GroupCol1, GroupCol2, ...) AS RowNumber
I need to create report with table which looks like this
Country 1 Country 2 Country 3 Total
Category 1 1(2) 2(1) 5(6) 8(9)
Category 2 2(3) 2(1) 4(0) 8(4)
Category 3 3(2) 2(1) 3(1) 8(4)
Total 6(7) 6(3) 12(7) 24(17)
Report contains data about TFS WI's and has information about current week's WI count and last weeks WI count (in brackets)
Data set on which this report is based on MDX query against TFS warehousw cube and has such structure:
Category Country Week Count
1 1 this 1
1 2 this 2
1 3 this 5
1 1 last 2
1 2 last 1
1 3 last 6
Trouble is, I cann't find a way how to concatenate data about current and last weeks incident count in one cell. I have toyed around with idea to do it in MDX, but with my limited MDX skills I can't see how it could be done.
Rowgroup on Category.
Columngroup on Country.
Inside the cell you should be able to have 2 placeholders with the second one in brackets. The first expression should be:
=Sum(iif(Fields!Week.Value = "this", Fields!Count.Value, 0))
The second one should be:
=Sum(iif(Fields!Week.Value = "last", Fields!Count.Value, 0))
In MDX you could create two calcs - this and last week (of course you'll need to change this to work with your cube):
WITH
MEMBER [Measures].[thisWeekCount] AS
([Date].[Week].[this], [Measures].[Count])
MEMBER [Measures].[lastWeekCount] AS
([Date].[Week].[last], [Measures].[Count])
SELECT
{
[Measures].[thisWeekCount],
[Measures].[lastWeekCount]
} ON 0,
{
...
} ON 1
FROM [Your Cube]
Then, you can use them within placeholders as jimconstable explained, but without the iif functions.
Thank you all for your answers!
I found out that main problem (reporting services allows only one measure on columns) can be solved by using Analysis server OLE DB provider. There are some drawbacks, like that parameters are not supported, but I can live with this.
