SSRS 2008 Matrix grouping help

Hi. I have a requirement to create an SSRS report with a tablix or matrix which looks like the image below. My dataset will hold the following column values: Project name, overall rag, cost rag, scope rag, headline and commentary.
The RAG values are all colours which I will represent via a background expression. The grey columns will be static.
The headline and commentary values are long text values and should run under the RAG columns as depicted.
I have no idea how to group and create this in an SSRS 2008 report; please can someone let me know how I should configure this?

We can merge cells in Data Region of tablix. Refer this link
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd207131.aspx
Moreover it is important that we know how the data looks like in Data Set. Post the sample data.
Regards, RSingh

SSRS 2008 - Matrix subtotals in rows (like in Excel)

Hello guys,
I have to develop report in following structure:
My best shot so far was creating matrix, but I don't know how to add the subtotal rows which are calculated as one row values divided by another.
Source data snippet:
Row Number
Column 1
Column 2
21
1
2
22
3
2
23
6
6
24
9
6
Desired output in report:
Row Number
Column 1
Column 2
21
1
2
22
3
2
23
6
6
Row no. 23/Row no. 22
2
3
24
9
6
Row no. 24/Row no. 22
3
3
I was able to create matrix with Row Number but cannot figure out how to add rows with subtotals as showed above.
Any suggestion would be greatly apprecited.

Hi Roy,
According to your description, you want to create some calculated rows, which stores the previous row value divided by a specified row value.
In Reporting Service, we can use matrix to group data by multiple fields or expressions in row and column groups. But it’s impossible to add a data row directly between two row groups. In this scenario, it’s also impossible to get the value of a specific
data row. So we can never make a data row divided by another data row. By the way, even you could add a row, when you use rownumber() function, the row number will increase with the added row. So your requirement can’t be achieved currently.

SSRS 2008 Matrix - Column Data Incorrect

I am trying to convert an old local Crystal Report. Basically, for a given order, there are multiple line items. The report needs to show Order and Vendor in the left two columns, then a variable number of columns (that fit on a page) to display the line numbers.
To do this, I added a Matrix, and adding the groupings and all that. However, I get only one line item for each Order/Vendor combination, even though each combination has at least two line items.
Current:
============================================
+ Order + Vendor + Item 1 + Item 2 ...
============================================
+ OrdValue1 + VendValue1 + Value + [blank]
============================================
+ OrdValue2 + VendValue2 + [blank]+ Value
============================================
Desired:
============================================
+ Order + Vendor + Item 1 + Item 2 ...
============================================
+ OrdValue1 + VendValue1 + Value + Value
============================================
+ OrdValue2 + VendValue2 + Value + Value
============================================

Hi dgjohnson,
In Reporting Services, the issue always occurred when there is no value when Order= OrdValue1, Vendor=VendValue1, Item=Item2 and Order= OrdValue2, Vendor=VendValue2, Item=Item1. In this scenario, the cell that corresponding to the value would be blank. In
order to troubleshoot this issue more efficiently, could you please provide us more information about the report? If possible, provide us some screenshots about your report design and your dataset with sample data. So that we can make further analysis and
help you out.

Filter in ssrs 2008

I need help in ssrs 2008 reporting, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I need to filter a dataset by a date field (just by year though) either all the years or just one year. I created a custom field to pull the year out separately however, how do I write the filter to pull either all records or just a specific year.

Hi BonnieSant,
As per my understanding, you want to use the year as search condition, when you select all years or just one year, all the data meets the condition will be displayed in the report. If so, we can use the year as a parameter, then when you preview the report,
you can select specific years from the parameter drop down list to filter specific data. For detail information, please refer to the following steps:
In the Report Data pane, right click Parameters, and click Add Parameter.
In Report Parameter Properties dialog box, type the name and prompt. Select data type, check Allow Multiple Values check box.
Click Available Values, specify values manually or select Get values from a query.
Click Default Values, and set default values for the parameter, the default values should be included in available values.
Now that the parameter was created, to use the parameter in the report, we need to add a filter, then we can use the parameter as search condition. Please follow these steps:
Right click the DataSet you used to retrieve data and click Dataset Properties dialog box.
Click Filters in the left pane, and click Add.
In Expression, select the field from the drop-down list, then set Operator to In, in the Value text box, verify that the value is [@ParameterName], then click OK.
For more information about Using Single-Value and Multi-value Parameters, please refer to the following article:

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.

How to calculate difference and percentage in matrix report dynamic columns in SSRS 2008

Hi Friends,
I need to calculate Difference and Percentage In matrix report SSRS 2008
1) Row grouping based On Product
2) Column Grouping Week and Fiscal Year Current week and Previous Year same Weeks
3)Data Invnetory(Value fileld)
Example:
If value1 and Value2 Available we need to calculate Percentage and Difference.Otherwise Not required NA I need to Show.
For example If Particular week,Current year data is available,Previous year week data is not available No
need to cal Diff and Percentage we need to show Empty.
Below Code is working for If two values is available.
If any one of the fiscal year week data is not there it's taking some garbage values.
I tries with If condition in GetPCT() and GetDiff() It's not working.
Can some one please help me on this.
I am using the custom code
Public Shared Value1 as String
Public Shared Value2 as String
Public Shared previous as string
Public Shared previousweek as string
Public Shared Function GetValue(Value as String,partner as String,Week as String) as String
If partner =previous and Week =previousweek Then
Value2=Value
Else
previous=partner
previousweek=Week
Value1=Value
End If
return Value
End Function
Public Shared Function GetDiff()
return Value2-Value1
End Function
Public Shared Function GetPct()
return (Value2-Value1)/Value1
End Function
How to handle this.
Thank You, Manasa.V

Hi veerapaneni,
According to your description, if one of the fiscal year week doesn’t have data, the custom code returns false results.
For your requirement, if NULL value exists in the database, we should replace it as zero then perform calculate. So within the code, we should judge whether the value is NULL. To achieve your goal, please refer to the steps below:
1. Create a table like below.
create table dif4
([Product Group] varchar(50),
[Week] varchar(50),
[Fiscalyearweek] varchar(50),
value int
insert into dif4 values
('Desktops','W01','FY14W01',0),
('Desktops','W01','FY15W01',45),
('Desktops','W02','FY14W02',null),
('Desktops','W02','FY15W02',30),
('Desktops','W03','FY14W03',12),
('Desktops','W03','FY15W03',50),
('Notebooks','W01','FY14W01',35),
('Notebooks','W01','FY15W01',56),
('Notebooks','W02','FY14W02',45),
('Notebooks','W02','FY15W02',87),
('Notebooks','W03','FY14W03',75),
('Notebooks','W03','FY15W03',105),
('Tablets','W01','FY14W01',34),
('Tablets','W01','FY15W01',46),
('Tablets','W02','FY14W02',49),
('Tablets','W02','FY15W02',96),
('Tablets','W03','FY14W03',42),
('Tablets','W03','FY15W03',113)
2. Add the custom code in the Report Properties.
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 Value=Nothing Then
Value=0
End If
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()
If Value1=0 Then
return 0
Else
return (Value2-Value1)/Value1
End If
End Function
Public Shared Function GetDiff()
return Value2-Value1
End Function
3. Design the matrix like below.
4. Then get the expected results.<o:p></o:p>

Ssrs 2008 r2 straight line within a matrix

In an SSRS 2008 R2 new report have placed a matrix on the end of the report for information the user wants to see at the end of the report. The user wants to place a straight line between the different infomation sections in the tablix. Here are the problems
I am having:
1. In a row I would like to merge 2 cells together so that a line placed within the matrix is the same length. The problem is that I do not know how to merge the cells.
2. When I drag a line into a cell in the matrix, the line is not straight. The line points to an angle. I have tried to change the properties of the line on the endpoint values but that has not worked. Thus can you tell me how to make the line placed within
a matrix cell to be straight?

Take a look at this post for inserting a horizontal (or vertical) line into a tablix cell:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/397d6dc4-766a-43c9-9706-5370a2bfaeb4/insert-line-into-table?forum=sqlreportingservices
For merging cells, you simply select a set of contiguous cells, right-click, merge cells. There is a catch of course. The catch is that all of the cells you are trying to merge must be in the same scope. Below are some screenshots showing a simple Matrix
with 1 column group and 1 row group.
As you can see in this screenshot, I have selected 2 adjacent cells that are both in the same scope, and merge cells is available.
In this screenshot, I have selected 2 adjacent cells that are not in the same scope. The left cell is only scoped by the row group while the cell on the right is scoped by both the row and the column group. As a result, I cannot merge the cells.

Center a report title in Matrix report SSRS 2008

I have fought with my first Matrix report for about a week now. What a pain. Now of course when I seem to be close to the end I can't center my report title on the report. How do I center a title? Help please. Thanks. SSRS 2008.

Hi gainesvillepratt,
After testing the issue in my local environment, we should add a textbox with title value above the matrix. Changing the Width of textbox with the same size as the rendered the matrix Width (Row Groups area width + Column Groups area width * the number of
columns in column group), then setting the TextAlign property to Center in the Properties Windows pane. Thus we can achieve your requirement.
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.

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:

Hi Bitia,
As per my understanding, after you add Item field to the report, it does not calculate total of matl group, right? If that is the case, please refer to the following steps to troubleshoot the problem:
Modify the dataset used to retrieve data, delete the fields will not be used in the report.
Run the query in SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) to make sure that there is data for matl cost group.
Make sure that row group and totals are correctly added.
In addition, do you want to add Finished date to page header? If that is the case, we can use ReportItem to achieve the goal. Please refer to the following steps:
In design surface, right-click the report and click Insert, then click Page Header.
Drag Text Box from Toolbox to page header.
Right-click inside of Text Box, then click Expression.
In the expression text box, type the code like below:
=ReportItems!FinishedDate.Value
If the problem remain unresolved, please provide the screenshot of the report in design view, the following screenshot is for your reference:

Issues passing drillthrough parameters from a multi-level tablix in SSRS 2008 R2

Hello,
I am really struggling with trying creating a drillthrough report that starts with a matrix (tablix) and passing those parameters. I am using SSRS 2008 R2.
Here's my scenario:
I have a matrix that has mulitple levels where you can drill down. Here an example with all the levels open:
Active
Term
Leave
Total
128
88
121
United States
110
80
85
New York
65
30
57
Manhattan
10
6
9
Buffalo
20
23
4
Albany
35
1
44
Texas
45
50
28
Dallas
40
30
22
Houston
5
20
6
France
18
8
36
Centre
18
8
36
Blois
7
2
8
Druex
6
1
15
Tours
5
5
13
I want to drillthrough to another report - Detail Report. As I understand it, I would click the 65 for New York and I would see the detail for the 65 Active people. If I click the 2 under Blois, I would see the 2 terminated people in Blois. My understanding
for this to work, the Detail Report would need a a parameter for each of the level possibilities in the matrix that I could click: Country, State, City as well as the Status (Active, Term, Leave).
While I understand about passing parameters, what I don't understand is how to pass the parameters if they are blank. Let's say I clicked 65 for New York, I would need to pass State = New York Status = Active. But the remaining parameters (Country
and City would be null). I know Country doesn't need to be Null in this case.
My Detail Report has the parameters defaulted to Null, but whether I put the parameters in a Filter for the dataset or in the query itself, I cannot get it to ignore the Nulls.
As a crazy work-around (I think) I can put in the Where of the query something along the lines of: this:
and (a.Country in (@paramCountryCode) or NULL in (@paramCountryCode) )
and I would need to do that for each parameter. Usually I have to use 'ALL' instead of NULL, I'm note sure why.
Additionally, in the Report Action of the Main Report, I need to pass those parameters for each level and their Status. I am also not clear whether or not I need to put in all the parameters on each of the levels (Country, State, City) of the matrix. And if
I do, do I need to make the expressions an IIF statement stating whether or not they are In Scope?
All the examples I was able to find, only showed one or maybe two parameters being passed. Doing the way I am trying, seems convoluted, error-prone and tedious. I really hope that I am wrong.
Is there a better way to approach drilltrough reports from a matrix when there are multiple levels?
Thank you for the help.

Hi Jenna_Fire,
According to your description, you have a matrix contains total for each group on each level. Now your requirement is, when you click on any number (data field or total), it will go to the detail report which returns all the detail information of the people
within the group scope. For example, if you click on the total of Active users in United States, it will return the detail information of Active users in New York and Texas. Right?
In this scenario, we should set the parameter (@Country, @State, @City) allow multiple values in both main and detail report. And in Default Value (@Country, @State, @City), query out all distinct values. In the textbox which contains
those total values, when set use these parameters to run the report, we only need to pass the parameters of parent groups. For example, if we click on the total of Active users in New York, we only need to pass Country, State, Status to detail report, and
in the detail report, the City parameter will use all distinct values (Default Values) because we don't pass the City parameter. We have tested this case with sample data in our local environment. Here are steps and screenshots for your reference:
1. Create parameter Country, State, City and Status in both main report and detail report. Set both Available Value and Default Value get values from query (Create a dataset for each parameter, use "select distinct [column] from [table]" as query). Set allow
multiple values for parameter Country, State and City in both reports.
2. In corresponding textbox, pass appropriate parameters in go to report Action.
4. Filter data in detail report (in where clause or using filters).
5. Save and preview. It looks like below:

SSRS 2008 - Chart Legend Missing Customitems property

Hi,
I'm currently in the process of converting my SSRS 2005 reports originaly designed with Dundas charts, to a SSRS 2008 report and facing an
issue with the charts legend.
Dundas Charts allows me to create custom legend items on a row, cell collection basis.
After BIDS 2008 has converted the rdl-file everthing looks fine except the custom legend that I have created
in the SSRS 2005 report. The legend items did not appear in the reports preview.
I looked thru all the legend properties and read thru Formatting the Legend on a Chart (Report Builder
and SSRS)
but still unable to locate the properties.
Anyone encounters this issue and likes to share a workaround / solution?
Thanks

Hi Mike,
I tried your workaround and it displays properly, but problem is with displaying the Line color. I'm using reportviewer in .Net 2008 and Line control doesn't contain any expression tab. Please help me with setting line color. Attached is RDLC in XML format.

Controlling execution of subreport on main Report in ssrs 2008 R2

Controlling execution of subreport on main Report in ssrs
Hi,
Am using more than 100 subreports in my main report using ssrs 2008 R2.
And given conditional Visibility in sub reports based on the Parameter selection in main Report . But the performance is very very slow in main report.
While selecting single sub report executes in seconds. The same report in main report executes in hours.
According to my view,
All the Sub reports executes and finally conditional visibility is working. Can we Control executing sub reports?
Regards, Gayathri devi P.S. : Please click the 'Mark as Answer' button if a post solves your problem! :)

Hi,
I think the time to render 100 report sure will be long time and the main report want to render those reports.
So first why you do not separate those report on many reports for different purpose.
second if this is a dashboard report you may use many matrix in the same report and the parameters passed by default or based on expression.
I really hope if you make your report as dashboard report, many matrix many parameters render it once. As I remember I think SSRS will try to execute your
DataSets in parallel which will reduce your waiting time.
I hope this is helpful.

Ssrs 2008 'select all' option to be selected for a parameter

In a new ssrs 2008 report, the problem is all reports are not selected from the parameter called 'report' when the report runs automatically. When the report executes, there is nothing displayed in the parameter selection dropdown box. The user
has to click the down arrow to select which reports they want to execute.
Here is the siutation for the ssrs 2008 report:
In a new SSRS 2008 report, I want to be able to allow the user to select which report they would like to see generated by selecting the report name from a dropdown list. This is a multi-valued parameter and the parameter name is called 'report'. I
would like the default value to be for all 5 reports to be selected.
All 5 reports will be on the 'main' report. There will be no subreports. Each report will have its own unique matrix and the matrix will be visibile based upon what is selected in the parameter called 'report'.
My question is how can I make the 'default' value for the parameter called 'report' have all the reports selected?
Normally to get all multivalued parameter values selected you create a dataset and run a query against a table. However in this case, there is no table to query. The user just selects what report(s) they want executed.
Here is the code that is used:
1.Right-click the multiple parameter ‘repot’ to open the Properties dialog box.
2.Specify the values below in the Available values:
Label: report1
Value: report1
Label: report2
Value: report2
Label: report3
Value: report3
Label: report4
Value: report4
Label: report5
Value: report5
3.Specify the values below as the Default Values:
report1   report2   report3   report4   report5
4.Right-click the ‘report1’ to open the Tablix Properties dialog box.
5.Select Visibility in the left pane, type the expression below in the “Show or hide based on an expression” textbox:
=iif(InStr(join(Parameters!report.Value,","),"report1")>0,false,true)
6.Use the expressions below to control the visibility of the ‘report2’, ‘report3’, ‘report4’, ’report5’:
=iif(InStr(join(Parameters!report.Value,","),"report2")>0,false,true)
=iif(InStr(join(Parameters!report.Value,","),"report3")>0,false,true)
=iif(InStr(join(Parameters!report.Value,","),"report4")>0,false,true)
=iif(InStr(join(Parameters!report.Value,","),"report5")>0,false,true)
Thus can you tell me how all values from the 'report' parameter can be selected automatically when the ssrs report is executed?

Pass default value as below and see
=Split("Report1,Report2,Report3,Report4,Report5",",")
