I want to know how to cut a table with multiple columns to continue in the same page to fit in a A4 pdf. I can't upload a photo, but basically I have columns for a variable and I want the table to get cut and continue underneath the first one so that it is fitted in an A4 page.
I was able to do it in Jaspersoft reporting with the TRIM() function, but can't find a solution for SSRS.
I tried TRIM function but it doesn't work, I understand that in this app is used for eliminating blank spaces, also tried with the formatting but no luck.

How do I stop SSRS from hiding a column when previewing if the column has nothing more than empty rows? I have set all columns to be fully visible, yet the report preview does not show the empty columns. I know that this is a default feature within Visual Studio that hides all empty columns by default, so how do I change it so it can show all columns no matter what. Where can I change those settings?
If you mean the preview in the query designer of the dataset:
This is only possible when writing your own MDX since the generated code always generates a SELECT NON EMPTY for the measure axis. So removing the NON EMPTY part will always show your column/measure.
If you mean the ssrs report preview:
Columns only hide when using a table matrix with a column group. In this case make sure your dataset always returns each column group at least once, regardless of your chosen filters. E.g. if using MDX this could mean removing a NON EMPTY from your row axis or using the right-click option "include empty cells".
Clarification for comment plus possible workaround:
This "hiding columns" things is no feature. If the column isn't in the result of the dataset, SSRS can't know that this value even exists, so there is no solution if using a column group except for redesigning your query.
You could work around this by not using a column group and instead of using static "hard-coded" columns which, for example, sum the values depending on your group. See the following example screenshot i made: example
I'm trying to use the filter() formula within a spreadsheet, from another tab within that spreadsheet.
I've got a number of drop-down menus that, when used, bring up the relevant data from the table I'm filtering from.
I've managed to make it work when it's a table of data from row 2 downwards (row 1 being a header row), but now the table starts from the 6th row down with other information above it (most of it, however, is blank). As such, now all of the options come up automatically when the drop down menus are blank.
I either need the formula below to start from the 6th row down, or to ignore the blank cells. It must be an easy solution but for the life of me, I can't find it anywhere on the internet (I'm pretty new with spreadsheet formulas so please be gentle).
This is the formula I've been using that works when there are no blank rows:
=FILTER(Sheet2!A:T,(Sheet2!D:D=B12)+(Sheet2!F:F=C12)+(Sheet2!G:G=D12)+(Sheet2!H:H=E12)+(Sheet2!I:I=F12)+(Sheet2!N:N=G12)+(Sheet2!O:O=H12)+(Sheet2!T:T=I12))
If it helps, the drop-down options are both numbers and text, and I'm using Google Sheets rather than Excel.
You can probably just change your ranges to 'A6:T' instead of 'A:T'. 'A:A' range syntax gets all rows in that column. 'A6:A' will start it at 6 but not define an ending row, which I think is what you want.
This is your formula with those small changes:
=FILTER(Sheet2!A6:T,(Sheet2!D6:D=B12)+(Sheet2!F6:F=C12)+(Sheet2!G6:G=D12)+(Sheet2!H6:H=E12)+(Sheet2!I6:I=F12)+(Sheet2!N6:N=G12)+(Sheet2!O6:O=H12)+(Sheet2!T6:T=I12))
The =isBlank() formula may be useful to you as well. It takes a cell reference and returns true/false. You can wrap this in NOT() to give the opposite result, i.e =NOT(ISBLANK(A1)) will return true if there is a value.
I have a view in OBIEE that is sectioned and returning groups as intended. My question though, is can I make the sections return in more than 1 column? Right now there are 8 sections all in a long line. I would prefer to split them into two columns of 4 sections each, in the same view.
Is this possible?
THanks
*It will be used in a dashboard at some point.
Since this will be used on a dashboard, you could consider using a compound layout.
The compound layout button is on the results page in the toolbar. Click on it, name it to something that will help you identify it later, then break your data apart into two sections (using filters, creating two different tables within the same report, or some other means. This is the part where I don't know your data or its format so it makes it difficult to answer). One section of data will go on one compound layout, and another section will go on the other compound layout. So in the report, the data will be on two tabs, but since it is intended for a dashboard, this is not a problem.
Make two side by side columns on the dashboard, and drag the same report into both. In the properties, select "show View", and select the different compound views (one for each column).
Now when you run the dash, the results will display in different columns at the same time.
I'm in great need of help. I've a form which asks basic questions and puts the results into rows of an existing spreadsheet.
Specific data from those responses are "promoted" to 2nd, 3rd and 4th tabs based on IF formulas on tabs 2+ checking the value of a pull down selection on in the corresponding row on each previous tab. (Waterfall)
My challenge is - forms data is inserted into a new row (Does not use existing) and if I set the pulldown value to "Approved" on the first tab, the formulas on the second tab which were contiguous now skip the row where the form data was automatically entered.
I suspect I need to learn how to properly use ArrayFormula, etc, but have not managed to fix this looking at existing examples combined with my IF statements.
Help is appreciated. Sample is here. Safe to ignore the first and last tabs.
Thank you.
You can try using an open-ended range with ArrayFormula. For example, the formula on "2-Pipeline" in cell D3 could be:
=arrayformula(IF('1-IdeasReceived'!U2:U="Approved",'1-IdeasReceived'!L2:L, ))
The ranges U2:U and L2:L should pick up all rows in those columns, even after you've had forms submitted.
Since this is an ArrayFormula over column ranges, you only need it in cell D3; it will inject CONTINUE formulas down the rest of the column.
Warning: Your spreadsheet is combining dynamic row content (e.g. pulled from another sheet) with static content (e.g. "Environment, Health & Safety" column on "2-Pipeline" sheet). This is bound to result in misalignment if rows are added or deleted in the middle of the source data.
We have a report developed in another tool that the user exports to Excel to manipulate the data. In the old tool, the columns are being saved in the same order as the dataset returned by the stored procedure. But in SSRS the columns sort is changed to the order that they are displayed on the screen. The user is a nut case and can't convince her to change the order of the columns on the screen report to match her old report sort, but on the other hand does not want to adapt to the new column order. Unfortunately the easiest solution (i.e. replacing the user :-)) is not implementable. Is there a property that I can use to change the sorting on the columns when they are exported. Without knowing much about it, I imagined ZIndex would have done something like that. But it is set to 0 and disabled, so I can't change it's value.
Thanks
I know it's years later but for the benefit of anyone who is in this predicament, a similar idea: in the same report, you create another tablix that will be your "output" tablix, where you arrange things as you please using the same dataset. Make this tablix with visibility hidden, and set it to "output" as necessary. Turn off all outputs from the first tablix. So you have basically a ghost tablix that only works when you export to csv.
