SSRS Matrix report. Variance expression by Month. Need to compare month from prior year to current month of current year VS2010

Please help.  I have a matrix report.  In the report I have row group  PO Type.  One the Column groups I have a parent group by Fiscal Year, and then a child group by Month.  When I run the report, I get two years of data back broken
out by month.  Please see below.
Now here is where I am getting stuck.  I need to take the variance between the current month of the current year, from the same month of the prior year.  So I need to show the difference between Oct , 2014 from Oct, 2013. November, 2014 from November
2013... etc. etc.
In the example below, how do I create a column or row showing the variance for Contracts for October 2014.  I need to take the contracts for October 2014 which is 3 and subtract that from October 2013 which is 8.  Any suggestions? How do I do that
for each month?  Then I need to do it for the quarter... then the year?  But I'll be happy if I can just get the month working first.
Any help will be appreciated. 
here is what my rdl file looks like.
Here is what my report looks like when I render it.

Hi Adrian_s2012,
According to your description, you want to compare values for the month of current year with the month of prior year and get the variance. Right?
In Reporting Services, we don't have any function to get this "Year to Year" Growth. In this scenario, if you data source is a cube, we suggest you use Analysis Services to achieve your requirement. If this data source is just from database, it will be hardly
to calculate the variance because we need to compare the values within every two different column group and matrix generate adjacent columns one by one. Even we make it by using custom, every time executing the long code when generating result
in a cell will reduce a lot of performance, we really don't suggest to do that in SSRS. Here is a thread with much easier requirement, please take a reference of that:

  • SSRS Matrix report to show or hide year column based on parameter value "Date" selected.

    Hey experts!
    I have a requirement an ssrs matrix report should display columns (year/s) based on parameter value (date/s). 
    My Dataset fileds are: Product, Year_name, Month_name, Date
    Currently my report output looks like this-
    Param Date: 2013-08-01 00:00:0.000
    Product +Calender2011      +Calender2012     -Calender 2013........                        +Calender2014
                             Total
                      Total Jan13  Feb 13  Mar13..  Dec13   Total           Total
    Abc                      100
                        220
    10      20         30.......  20       250              400
    Xyz 110
    200 50      80         40.......  30       450              600
    My requirement:  if I'm selecting Date parameter value as '2013-xx-xx' I should only able to see Year column 'Calender2013' and rest of the years should hide. Similarly If I'm selecting Date parameter value as '2014-xx-xx' I should only able to
    see Year column 'Calender2014' .
    Appreciate your kindly help. 
    Afan

    Hi Afan,
    According to your description, you want to only show the selected year on your report, right?
    In this case, you need to get the year from the date parameter using the expression below
    =Year(Parameters!Date.Value)
    And then use the expression below to get the year from Year_Name field.
    =Right(Fields!Year_Name.Value,4)
    Then add a filter to the dataset to filter the data like below
    Expression:=Year(Parameters!Date.Value)
    Operator:=
    Value:=Right(Fields!Year_Name.Value,4)

  • Column limit in SSRS Matrix report being uploaded to Report Manager in SQL2008 R2

    Hi,
    I am getting this error :
    SQL Server Reporting Services
    Error
    The attempt to connect to the report server failed. Check your connection information and that the report server is a compatible
    version.
    I am attempting to upload my SSRS Matrix report to Report Manager. The report has a lot of columns (109 row columns followed by the variable number of column columns).
    After trial and error, I discovered that when I only have 107 row columns I can upload successfully.
    Can anybody explain why this is happening? Is there a limit of 107 columns?
    Thanks,

    As there was too much nesting in the tablix inside the report. We added new tablix and shifted some rows to that tablix. Because maximum of 36 level nesting is allowed in tablix

    Please see below matrix report before and after I run. How can I find percentage of below marked fields,

    Erdal Huzmeli

    Hi Erdal,
    According to your description, you have a matrix report and you want to get percentage of two different column in this report. Right?
    In Reporting Service, we can’t just use ReportItem function or aggregation function with scope string to calculation when we are working in a matrix because the columns of matrix are dynamic. So we need to define some functions in custom code and do calculation
    by calling those functions. Your scenario has been tested in our local environment. Here are some steps and screenshots for your reference:
    Add the custom code below into your report:
    Dim Shared Num1 As Integer
    Dim shared Num2 As Integer
    Public Function GetPA(PA as Integer, Type as String) 
    If Type = "Male" Then
       Num1=PA
    ELSE If Type="Female" Then
       Num2=PA
    End If 
    Return PA 
    End Function
    Public Function GetMalePct()
    Return Num1/(Num1+Num2)
    End Function
    Public Function GetFemalePct()
    Return Num2/(Num1+Num2)
    End Function
    Ps: We notice that Total PA=Male PA +Female PA. So we use “Num1+Num2” in the functions that we define in the custom code instead of using “SUM(Fields!PA.Value)” in expression.
    Put the expression below into the PA textbox in Gender group:
    =Code.getPA(SUM(Fields!PA.Value),Fields!Gender.Value)
    Put the expression below Female textbox within Gender Percentage:
    =Code.getFemalePct()
    Put the expression below Male textbox within Gender Percentage:
    =Code.getMalePct()
    Save and preview, the matrix and result looks like below:

  • SSRS Matrix Issue. Expression calculating in row with no data.

    I have a matrix with multiple column groups for different sales channels. With in each group there are several columns and some with expressions for calculations. The rows are based on sales reps. Now not every sales rep sells in every channel, so there
    are some columns in which a rep will have no data. I want them be blank or show a 0. I can do both of those. The issue I am having is in the expressions for reps that have no data, it is still showing a calculation. It seems to populate that cell with whatever
    the first result of an actual calculation is. See below. For rep D and E they have no calls or sales in this particular sales channel; however, the closing ratio is showing 30.23% (which is the closing ratio for rep A). I need this to be blank or 0 or N/A,
    anything other that a wrong %. I have tried numerous iif and isnothing statements, e.g. =iif(Fields!count_of_customers.Value = 0,0,Fields!count_of_customers.Value/iif(Fields!Calls.Value = 0,1,Fields!Calls.Value)) plus other i have found on the internet

  • Matrix report performance

    Hi,
    I have a table with the following attributes : item, location, value. I want to create a matrix report with items on columns, locations as headers and in the middle the correspondent values: the report should look like this:
    item loc1 loc2 loc3
    1234 200 300
    2456 25 12
    456 12 15 16
    I know how to do the matrix report(I use a view based on the table) but my question is related to a performance problem. As the view contains a lot of data (more than 2mil. records), my question is how the matrix report is being build( I need to know if it does a self-join with the same view to build it, as this might take a long time to generate the report).
    In case I use a parameter for location(for example I want to generate a matrix report but only for loc1) it will take a long time as well?
    Thanks

  • Matrix report with group.

    dear all,
    can anyone guide me how to build a matrix report with group using scott schema.
    i can not be able to build a query.

    The example given by Oracle (from the above link) using the following SQL for a matrix report is flawed.
    SELECT DEPTNO, JOB, SUM(SAL)
    FROM EMP
    GROUP BY DEPTNO, JOB
    ORDER BY DEPTNO, JOB
    The SUM function handled by the query restricts you from doing so many things - especially when you want the empty fields to be filled by 0 (by using the Value if Null property).
    If the query is changed to ''SELECT DEPTNO, JOB, SAL FROM EMP' , and use the SUM function in the wizard to build the Matrix cell, then the 'Value if Null' property can be used without any issues.
    This also makes Section 25.6 (Add zeroes in place of blanks) of the documentation a joke.
    Anyway, that's my cents worth....

  • Group matrix report with an hierarchy table???

    Hello,
    I have a big trouble making up a report involving many tables and one of them having a many-to-many recursive relationship. The user has a defined request in having the information grouped.I'll give some more details. I would like to know if you have any ideas in how to structure the report..
    Here are the tables:
    ORG
    (org_id not null,
    org_name not null)
    DNR
    (dnr_id not null,
    org_id not null,
    dnr_age,
    dnr_gender)
    CS
    (cs_id not null,
    dnr_id not null)
    Smpl
    (smpl_id not null,
    dnr_id notnull,
    org_id,
    smpl_tp not null,
    cs_id,
    meth,
    notes)
    Tr_map
    (tr_id not null,
    smpl_prnt not null,
    smpl_chld,
    pos)
    Some data..
    Smpl_id Dnr_id Org_id Smpl_tp Cs_id Meth Notes
    107 101 137 tss a xxxx
    118 112 137 tss ab xxxx

    126 108 25 blk c yyyy
    tr_id Smpl_prnt Smpl_chld Pos
    1 107
    2 118

    4 123
    5 124 122 1
    7 125 124 1
    8 126 122 1
    10 125 126 2
    The user wants the data reported as follows:
    Org name
    Dnr_id, dnr_age etc...
    Cs_id
    Smpl_id, Smpl_tp (tss), Meth, Notes
    Smpl_id,smpl_tp(blk), Meth, Notes ...

    Smpl_id, smpl_tp(blk), Meth,Notes...
    Smpl_id, smpl_tp(sld), Meth, Notes...
    I think the grouped matrix would be the solution but I don't know how to do that with the hierarchy table to show the children and grandchildren as subgroups. Is that possible in a single query? How can I build a group matrix with multiple subgroups?
    Thanks in advance.

  • SSRS Variance expression problem. Create a Variance expression. Compare current month with same month from previous year.

    Hello,
    I am using VS2010 shell.  I have a matrix report where I have a row group by Year.  Then I have a column group by Month. 
    When I run the report, I get 2013 data on top of 2014 data.  Now I need to create a variance by year for each month.
    So in the example below, I need to create an expression that will pull the variance for Oct 01... subtracting 2013 from 2014 for the months.  So I need to Subtract 8,222 - 4290.  I have no clue.
    Here is what my rdl looks like.
    Thank you for your help. 

    Hi Adrian,
    If I understand correctly, you want to calculate the difference order between 2013 and 2014 for every month. And there are only two years in the FISCAL_YEAR field.
    If in this scenario, we can simply use the following expression to achieve your requirement:
    =first(Fields!ORDER.Value)-last(Fields!ORDER.Value)
    The following screenshot is for your reference:
    If there are any misunderstanding, please elaborate the issue for further investigation.

    Heidi,
    Thank you so much for your reply and solution! Now I know how to get the first field in a group. But I can't apply your solution directly just yet because in order to explain my problem I simplified my data structure. My real data structure has a nested
    group like this:
    Week  VersionMajor VersionMinor Count
    Week1  V1           V1.1         2000
    Week2  V1           V1.1         1500
    Week3  V1           V1.1         800
    Week1  V1           V1.2         1000
    Week2  V1           V1.2         500
    Week3  V1           V1.2         200
    Week1  V1           V1.1         2000
    Week2  V1           V1.1         1500
    Week3  V1           V1.1         800
    Week1  V1           V1.2         1000
    Week2  V1           V1.2         500
    Week3  V1           V1.2         200
    Here is the query for the above data:
    SELECT 'Week1' AS Week, 'V1' AS VersionMajor, 'V1.1' AS VersionMinor, 2000 AS Count
    UNION ALL
    SELECT 'Week2' AS Week, 'V1' AS VersionMajor, 'V1.1' AS VersionMinor, 1500 AS Count
    UNION ALL
    SELECT 'Week3' AS Week, 'V1' AS VersionMajor, 'V1.1' AS VersionMinor, 800 AS Count
    UNION ALL
    SELECT 'Week1' AS Week, 'V1' AS VersionMajor, 'V1.2' AS VersionMinor, 1000 AS Count
    UNION ALL
    SELECT 'Week2' AS Week, 'V1' AS VersionMajor, 'V1.2' AS VersionMinor, 500 AS Count
    UNION ALL
    SELECT 'Week3' AS Week, 'V1' AS VersionMajor, 'V1.2' AS VersionMinor, 200 AS Count
    UNION ALL
    SELECT 'Week1' AS Week, 'V1' AS VersionMajor, 'V1.1' AS VersionMinor, 2000 AS Count
    UNION ALL
    SELECT 'Week2' AS Week, 'V1' AS VersionMajor, 'V1.1' AS VersionMinor, 1500 AS Count
    UNION ALL
    SELECT 'Week3' AS Week, 'V1' AS VersionMajor, 'V1.1' AS VersionMinor, 800 AS Count
    UNION ALL
    SELECT 'Week1' AS Week, 'V1' AS VersionMajor, 'V1.2' AS VersionMinor, 1000 AS Count
    UNION ALL
    SELECT 'Week2' AS Week, 'V1' AS VersionMajor, 'V1.2' AS VersionMinor, 500 AS Count
    UNION ALL
    SELECT 'Week3' AS Week, 'V1' AS VersionMajor, 'V1.2' AS VersionMinor, 200 AS Count
    And my matrix table looks like this:
    What I need to do is to calculate the percentage of each week over week1 for
    1) V1 Total
    2) V1.1
    3) V1.2
    I can't use your solution directly because I need to apply Sum function for each cell and the Sum function gives me error when I try to use it on the denominator
    First(Fields!Count.Value,"VersionMinor"). If you could help me further to get to the final solution, I'd really appreciate it!!

    I just want to hide some column without having white space in Matrix report in SSRS 2005. Although I am aware of that perhaps this feature is not available on SSRS 2005. So, I just want to know if we can handle the width of column dynamically(using expressions)
    in matrix report?
    Please help. Thanks in Advance.
    Regards

    Hi Kumud,
    Based on my test, SSRS is not support column dynamically width. It has property “CanGrow” of text box. If we configure the property to True, it will wraps to next line if needed. In SSRS 2008, we can hide some columns without white space. If possible, I
    recommend you update your SSRS 2005 to SSRS 2008.
    There is a similar issue, you can refer to it.

  • How to calculate percentage and difference of two values in matrix report in ssrs 2008

    Hi everyone,
    DB--SQL server
    SSRS-2008
    I am creating matrix report with grouping on WEEK and Fiscalyearweek,
    I need to calculate of difference between FY14W01,FY15W01 ande  percentage of those..
    how to calculate in ssrs level.
    Thank You, Manasa.V

    Hi veerapaneni,
    According to your description, you want to calculated the increment percentage and difference between two fiscal year week within each week. Right?
    In this scenario, since we need to do calculation based on values between dynamically generated cells, we can't simply use expression to achieve this goal. In this scenario, we need to use custom code to record the value for fiscal 14 and fiscal 15, then
    we can calculate the difference and percentage within the column group. We have tested your case in our local environment, please refer to the steps and screenshots below:
    1. Add the custom code below into the report (you may need to modify the data type based on your scenario:
    Public Shared Value1 as Integer
    Public Shared Value2 as Integer
    Public Shared previous as string
    Public Shared previousweek as string
      Public Shared Function GetValue(Value as Integer,product as String,Week as String) as Integer
    If product =previous and Week =previousweek  Then
         Value2=Value
    Else
    previous=product
    previousweek=Week
    Value1=Value
    End If
         return Value
      End Function
      Public Shared Function GetPct()
         return (Value2-Value1)/Value1
      End Function
    Public Shared Function GetDiff()
         return Value2-Value1
      End Function
    2. Design the matrix like below:
    3. The result look like below:
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

  • Calculate percentage between two rows in a matrix report with a single row group in SSRS 2008

    I need your help. I have a matrix report in ssrs 2008. The report contain one field value column and one value column. I need to calculate a percentage for two values. For example : row 1 : Discount 10 Row 2 : Sales 100 Result : 10/100. I have only one
    row group, I need to have a condition where Field = Discount % on Revenue then Discount/Total Turnover. Because of the  grouping for total, I am not being able to calculate the %, its just totalling the % discount. Kindly refer to the snapshot of the
    report.

    Hi Thanks a lot for your answer, but unfortunately it didn't work,the report is reading from a stored procedure which I have unpivot to convert all columns into rows, so that's why Discount % on Revenue, Discount and Total Turnover is found in one column.
    So the Field!Col.Value is the Discount % on Revenue, Discount and Total Turnover. I have tried to change the code to
    "=SUM(IIF(Fields!Col.Value = "Discount",Fields!value.Value),0))
    /IIF(SUM(IIF(Fields!Col.Value = "Turnover Total",Fields!value.Value),0)) = 0 ,
    Nothing,SUM(IIF(Fields!Col.Value = "Turnover Total",Fields!value.Value),0)))" but to no avail. Any other suggestion will be most welcome.
    Thanks.
    If everything you're getting from stored procedure then you need to calculate and bring the value from there itself.
