Tablix within a tablix

Hi,
I'm having some issues with a tablix within a tablix.
This is the dataset I'm using:
Shop id
-------Visit date
------------Task 1 #completed
------------Task 2 #completed
------------Task3 #completed
-------Visit date
Shop id
What I'd like to get is a tablix like this:
Shop id ...
------------------ Task 1 Task 2 Task 3
-------Visit date result result result Total
-------Visit date result result result Total
------------------------Total ... .... ....
Shop id ...
Where Shop id is the parent grouping and Visit date is the child grouping. The child grouping (the whole tablix within the parent tablix should be hidden and the display of it should be toggled by the Shop id).
How far I got?
Issue 1
--> Parent grouping and child grouping are based on the parent tablix. The row of the child grouping is merged into 1 big cell. A rectangle is placed in this merged section and then the second tablix is placed inside it.
--> However, because Task is a column grouping in the second tablix it expands when a report preview is shown and hence my parent tablix is stratched horizontally.
Issue2
--> Once the two tablixes are merged I cannot make the toggled visibility of the second tablix work. I receive the next error:
"An irem with the same key has already been added"
--> I assume that's because both are based on the same data set?
Any help with this would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Hi LiskieWhisky,
Per my understanding that you want to display the field which comes from the same dataset into two tablixs and the second tablix is added to an rectangle, this rectangle will be added into the tablix1, you have hide the rectangle to display can be
toggled based on the field "Shop", right?
I have tested on my local environment and your issue can be caused you haven't set the drilldown action correctly, please reference to the details information below to make sure you have done the correct settings:
Create the tablix2 which is the matrix and drag the tablix into a rectangle
Create t he tablix1 which only contain the field "shop" and drag the rectangle in the the second column and click the details under the row group to add the group on "Shop" like below, then the rectangle will display based on the shop
group:
Set the Visibility of the rectangle like below and preview you will find find the drilldown action works fine:
hidden:true
ToggleItem:Shop
If your issue still exists, please try to provide the snapshot of the unexpectted result you are currently got and more details information about the expect layout and so on.

Tablix cells and tablix columns mapping

Hello,
I have lots of tablix within the report and they have many columns as well,i would like to rearrange the tablix cell height and width according to names.when i look at source code of rdl file i can see tablix columns,but i can not see which column mapped
to which cell.is there a way to do this mapping ? Let's say i have col1 in many tablix.and i would like to set 1in for every tablix cells.
Thanks.

Hi altuko,
A SQL Server Reporting Services Report Definition Language (RDL) file is validated by using an XML Schema Definition (XSD) file. When we double click .rdl file definitely it will open in XML format if we have not installed Report Builder (or it will
directly be opened with Report Builder). The XML file is correspond to the designed report. So if we want to map the tablix column and tablix cell, we should know the design surface
(To view the report in Report Designer, we can create a new report project and add the .rdl file.) and rdl xml schema definition. For example, we should know the tablix name, column name and cell name, then we can
map them in XML file.
For more information about rdl xml schema definition, please refer to the following document:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms155062.aspx
Hope this helps.

Repeated Header Row within a Details Section Only of a Group Ignores Tablix Member Properties

Ok. I have a situation where I have a details section of a group, and I am trying to get it to repeat the row headers on each page. It's not working. I've gone into Advanced Mode, and addressed the static Tablix Member for the left-most
field of the header row in question, set the properties for the Tablix Member to "RepeatOnNewPage: True" and "KeepWithGroup: After", and still, it refuses to repeat the row header for these details. I've tried rebuilding and
not deleting the column where the grouping was originally assigned (without deleting the grouping, of course), and assigned the properties for "RepeatOnNewPage" to that left-most, grouping field, yet I get the exact same results. I've looked
up solutions, and even spoken to the expert of experts, but no joy here. I'm using VS'10.

OK. So it is fixed... sort of...
Apparently, you must select to add group headers repeated as you create the group (inc. child group), BESIDES changing in Advanced Mode, Tablix Member /Properties / etc. Then you have to format that extra column within your Tablix to
make it appear to 'disappear'. BUT EVEN THEN, there is a new problem:
The headers will repeat on the additional pages, but only to a point. For some odd reason, SSRS doesn't consistently render the repeated headers of the group details for
every page, just where it is a hard (page) break, as opposed to a soft (page) break. My gut tells me that this has nothing to do with the .xml code, but is an SSRS idiosyncrasy.

SSRS 2008 R2 - Column Headers of a tablix visible while scrolling - Then the column headers not visible on 2nd page onwards for PDF EXPORT. it's vice versa. Hence it is possible to provide both at same time ?

Hi,
I am using SSRS 2008 R2.
I have two TABLIX in a report. One is TABLIX with row/clumn grouping. 2nd one is flat view.
Here each tablix is dispaly it's data on single page for each.
My Requirement on First TABLIX is:
1. I have to make column headers visible on scrolling down
2. Export to PDF - column headers must be visible on all the pdf pages for same tablix data.
But ... either one is achieved at my end.
so ... any suggestions please to achieve both at same time.
thank you in advance.
best regards,
venkat.

Hi G.V.Naidu,
According to your description, the first tablix is matrix to use display data.
In SSRS, if we want to fix matrix header visible while scrolling and repeat header columns on each page, we can select the corresponding option to enable this function. Please refer to the steps below:
1. Right click tablix, and select Tablix Properties.
2. Select “Keep header visible while scrolling” and “Repeat header rows on each page” to enable these function.
If we are use table to display data, please refer to the article about Repeat Header / Keep Header Visible in Tables.

Tablix underneath Tablix does not move - SQL Repost Designer

Hello there,
I have a RDL report with two tablix. Each tablix has its own different data source and own rectangle. Inside each rectangle I have multiple report items. Each tablix grows dynamically depending on the number of rows.
In Preview mode the first tablix expands and correctly pushes the second tablix below itself, but when the report is saved or exported the second tablix is anchored to a fixed position, so the first tablix overlaps/overwrites it.
I already tried placing two tablix inside a rectangle but did not work. I also tried to nest the second tablix (its rectangle actually) to the first one but it produces errors because different data sources.
How to specify a dynamic position for the second tablix depending on first tablix height?
Thanks,
Javier Andres Caceres Alvis

Hello,
When you preview a report on the Report Designer or the report server, the report uses the HTML renderer by default. Overlapping report items are not supported in HTML, MHTML, Word, Excel, in Preview, or the Report Viewer. If overlapping items exist, they
are moved. But, overlapping report items are supported in hard page-break formats (TIFF and PDF), including print.
If you meet this issue when export the report with PDF or TIFF format, please try ot use the following methods to workaround this issue:
1. Move the secondary Rectangle down slightly, or insert a empty Rectangle between the existing Rectangles.
2. Use a Subreport to the display the Report items inside the Secondary Rectangle.

Problem With Designing a Report that Contains a Subreport

Tools: SQL Server 2012 , Report Builder 3.0
I am having an issue creating a report that has a tablix with the main set of data all in a group and within a cell of that tablix I have a subreport that goes based on the previous data within that tablix group. Problem is, the subreport
works when it wants to or generates errors that aren't really helpful.
Error example:
Exception of type 'Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportProcessing.ReportProcessing+DataCacheUnavailableException' was thrown.
An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
I am wondering if there is alternative way to accomplish what I need.
Report layout:
SQL Table ID
Data based on that ID
Subreport with data from above passed into the parameters.
repeat for the next table ID within a certain data range.

Hi redx350,
According to your description, we can try to refer to the following steps to achieve your requirement:
Create a parameter named ID in the subreport.
In the main report, right-click a cell to insert a subreport.
Right-click the subpeort to open the Subreport Properties, and select the subreport name in the drop-down list.
In the left panel of the Subreport Properties dialog box, click Parameters.
Select Name in the drop-down list of ID, and select [ID] in the drop-down list of Value.
Besides,
hereis
a feedback that you can vote for. This is a much better chance of this getting fixed if you log a Connect and vote on it to get it fixed. Microsoft would do take votes into account when
they prioritize features.

SSRS subscription issue

We use some reports in SCSM (standard and custom). About week ago one of custom reports lost formatting when send to e-mail in MHTML format. We didn't modify this report before issue.
Report display correctly:
1. In the SCSM console.
2. In the SSRS web interface.
3. In the e-mail when format isn't MHTML (report is attached to message)
4. In any supported format (including MHTML) after manual export.
5. In any supported format (including MHTML) when report is sent to SMB share by subscription.
Report display incorrectly (as plain text without images and formats) only when it is sent in MHTML format by e-mail subscription.
SSRS 2012 SP1.

Hi Roman1974,
Do you use embedded charts within in tablix? If so, please try to insert rectangles into the tablix before inserting charts.
Which browser do you use to view the subscription? Some browsers may not perfectly support the MHTML format. You can test the issue using Internet Explorer.
As a workaround, you can enable HTML 4.0 format for subscription and configure subscriptions to use this format instead of MHTML. To do this, please remove "Visible="false" for the HTML4.0 rendering extension in the RSreportserver.config file:
<Extension Name="HTML4.0" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.HtmlRenderer.Html40RenderingExtension,Microsoft.ReportingServices.HtmlRendering" Visible="false"/>
<Extension Name="MHTML" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.HtmlRenderer.MHtmlRenderingExtension,Microsoft.ReportingServices.HtmlRendering"/>

White Space in SubReport column when one cell grows

Hello, I have a report with a sub report embedded in a column. The sub report contains a table with 3 cells. All cells have the option CanGrow set to True.
I have an expression on the sub report that fills in the background color of the table depending on values in the subreport query that are not contained on the main report.
When one of the cells within the subreport grows, there is white space (as shown in the image) in the cells that do not grow. I need to have CanGrow set to true so that all of the data can show.
How can I make sure this white space is filled in on all of the cells? Short of merging all of the fields into one cell, I do not know what to do. And merging the cells will be a pain since the one cell in the subreport is a link.
Mike Karls

Hi Mike,
According to your description, you want to avoid white space when some cells grows in your subreport. Right?
In this scenario, we are how you set the background color for your cells in subreport. Generally, if that 3 columns are within one tablix, all 3 cells will grow simultaneously. As we tested in our local environment, we just need to apply condition on entire
row to specify different background color, it will not have extra white space as one cell grows. Here are some screenshots for your reference:
As you can see, all the 3 columns will grow automatically.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Highlighting field, if it's a repeat/duplicate throughout report

I want a field to highlight if it's an repeat/duplicate through out the report. I'm using =iif(Fields!PART_ID.Value =previous(Fields!PART_ID.Value), "yellow", "transparent") and currently it only works within a group section of the report.
Suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Shi,
According to your description, you want to highlight an repeat/duplicate data for one field ([Group]) when the field isn’t a group section.
In your scenario, we can add a sorting based on [Group] field within the tablix. Then we can specify the BackgroundColor for [Group] field with pervious function. Please refer to steps below:
1. Open Tablix Properties, add a sorting based on [Group] field on Sorting page.
2. Open Text Box Properties for [Group] field, specify the fill color with expression below on Fill page:
=IIF(Fields!Group.Value=previous(Fields!Group.Value),"Red","Transparent")
3. Preview the report.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Switch columns and rows in SSRS

Hi,
I have a report with static columns that looks something like this:
Date
Column 1
Column2
Column30
December 1
   xxx
    xxx
    xxx
December 2
xxx
  xxx
    xxx
December 31
xxx
    xxx
  xxx
It is based on SP that produces a temporary table exactly the same way as the report output (my Dec
1 to 31 rows are details that are precalculated within SP).
I need to switch columns and rows as my report is getting too wide.
Does anyone know how it is done in SSRS 2005 (with SQL 2005 data source) without re-writing my SP?
Thank you in advance!

Thank you for your reply Jason.
Unfortunately I do not have tablix within SSRS 2005; I only have matrix and table. For the original report I am using table as it displays data exactly the way it
is passed from the SP. You cannot switch columns and rows within the table. I tried matrix, but it didn’t work either… Is there any work around that you know of?
Thanks again!

HTML formatted rdlc report

I am trying to create a rdlc report.
One of the fields in the report contains HTML formatted information. e.g. (It's a text field which is populated from a Rich Text Editor similar to one we have here).
When I put the content of this, in a text box of RDLC file, it shows HTML instead of formatted output.
I have been doing this in Crystal Reports using Text Format tag in there.
Is there some similar option available for RDLC text box too? I could not find any.

This is not supported in the RDL 2005 schema structure that is used by the Report Viewer controls of VS 2005 and VS 2008 in local mode (RDLC).
As you may have seen in other postings on this forum, significantly updated and improved report viewer controls are in the works for the VS 2010 release, which include the engine that runs inside SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 and provide many new features such as "RichText" formatting within textboxes, tablix data and report layout flexibility, HTML formatting automatically converting into all supported rendering formats, new Word rendering, etc.
You can also use most of these features in server mode already today, but for local mode support you will need VS 2010.

ADDING TOTAL AND SUBTOTAL FROM TWO DATASETS

Hi there!
I working in this report with two dataset, I need to add a subtotal and total, the balance is coming from Dataset2, and I bring this Balance with a Lookup .... everything is working fine, but I can't bring the subtotals
Thank you

Hi Ysabel1111,
Based on my understanding, you are retrieving data from another dataset with Lookup() function within a tablix. Then you want to perform a subtotal and total, right?
In your scenario, since you are using Lookup() function to retrieve the second dataset’s data, you should embed the Lookup() function within Sum() function to perform subtotal or total. Please refer to our test steps and results:
1. We use Lookup() function to retrieve Balance field from DataSet2.
2. Specify the subtotal and total expression like below, then preview the report.
Besides, you can only create one dataset, then specify the query to join the two tables. So that you can specify data for a tablix without Lookup() function.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

SSRS Dynamic percentage column value

Hi. I have an SSRS report. Within a Tablix how do I create a percentage column that works out the result based on two other values with the table?
See below:
In the % Total Demand column how do I for each row dynamically work out the total / the value * 100
e.g. For the first row whats the % Demand for Portfolio 5.5+5.5+0.3 / 5.5 * 100 (or something along those lines)
Looking at this I guess the % Total Demand row should sit horizontally.
Thanks!

So this 10.9 is sum of all months data and whats is this 11.4 are you calculting it from SQL query or its just hardcode value.
If you your calculting 11.4 from SQL then
Sum(Fields!Expresion.Value)/Fields!Expression.Value*100
else
Sum(Fields!Expresion.Value)/11.4*100
Sachin Vashishth MCTS
Hi - 11.4 is total demand (bottom row). I should be getting 95% for first row. 10.9/11.4*100
My table values have changed slightly but I'm getting about 1400% as an answer.

Date Parameter

Hi,
Working on EBS version 11.5.10.2
I need to show the columns headings in report.
if i input parameter as 2 then
first column should be as 2
second column should be as 4
third column should be as 6
fourth column should be as 8
fifth column should be as 10 likewise any number input should multiply
please i need some help
current month
SELECT to_char(trunc(:p_trans_date,'MON'),'MONTH') val
INTO v_mon1
FROM dual;
IF trunc(add_months(:p_trans_date,-1),'MON') < add_months(to_date(:p_trans_date),-:p_bucket_type)+1 THEN
return null;
ELSE
SELECT to_char(trunc(add_months(:p_trans_date,-1),'MON'),'MONTH') val
INTO v_mon2
FROM dual;
Thanks and Regards

Hi vishu_k,
According to your description, you want to add a parameter to the report, the first time you run the report, only previous months’ data display. For example, if you run the report in August, only July or previous months’ data display. Then the parameter
drop down list includes all the month selections, when the user select one or more months, all the data of the months will be displayed in the report. If so, we can use a multi-value parameter and set Available Values and Default Values for it. For detail
information, please refer to the following steps:
1. In the Report Date pane, right click Datesets, then click Add Dateset, create Dataset1, in Query text box, type the query:
select datename(month,sc_date) from table_name where MONTH(sc_date) <MONTH(GETDATE())
2. In the Report Date pane, right click Parameters, then click Add Parameter, type the name and prompt, then check Allow Multiple Values check box.
3. Click Available Values, specify the values manually or select Get values from a query.
4. Click Default Values, select Get values from a query, Dataset: Dataset1, Value Field: sc_date, click OK.
5. Right click the tablix and open Tablix Properties dialog box.
6. Click Filters in the left pane, set Expression:[ sc_date], Operator: In, in the Value text box, verify that the value is [@ParameterName], then click OK.
For more information about Adding Multi-value Parameters, please refer to the following article:
