Filter Expression in Report Builder - filter

I am working in Report Builder and I am trying to make two versions of a tablix that is showing the racial breakdown for a group. One tablix has all the data and one has only students who have registered for courses. I can filter the Tablix on this variable Registered for the counts across the race category. However, I have an expression that is calculating the percentage of the group that fall into each category. It is not calculating correctly for the filtered tablix. The expression is =Count(Fields!ID.Value) / Count(Fields!ID.Value, "Dataset"). Do I need to update the expression to resemble a countif statement or is there a way to filter the expression as well?

Having two Filters in one table using SlickGrid

I want to create two filters in one SlickGrid Table. One will have "input field" based filter where i should be able to put expression, i.e. value > 10 which will give me the results greater than 10 values. The second filter will be the excel like filter where it should be able to list all the values from the first filter result and once user select some values it should show those selected values as result.
Basically, looking for combining result of two filters.
I do have some examples as mentions below
http://mleibman.github.io/SlickGrid/examples/example-header-row.html

Looking into combining above two filters in one table.
Is it possible to write two filters in one table using SlickGrid? Let me know how to achieve the same.

Can I combine datasets in Report Builder 3.0?

I have 3 different datasets. Each pulls from the same datasource, but each has different filters in order to pull data as of a different points in time (12/31/15, 12/31/14, and 12/31/13). Each dataset contains the fields: enum, gender, and YearEnd (YearEnd I created using an expression). Can I combine the data from all 3 datasets into one table or matrix. My ultimate goal is to create a chart to show trends over time, but I can't figure out how to combine the data. Since I have different filters for each, I believe I have to have 3 datasets. I just can't figure out how to append them all into one. Thoughts?
I believe your best bet would be one combined dataset instead of three. Create a dataset that gets you the data for all three dates.
You can filter for the rows you want (date in ('12/31/15', '12/31/14', '12/31/15')) in either your SQL query/stored procedure or in your dataset options (right click dataset, properties, filters).
You can also filter at the table level (right click the outside border of the table, tablix properties).
You can break up your table to show different dates using column and row groups, as defined with group expressions, and use expressions as well to display custom headers (2015, 2014, 2013)
I haven't done much with charts in Report Builder, but from looking at it it looks like you can use filters and groups much the same way.

Crystal Report Groups Duplicate My Values

I'm trying create two groups from two different tables. I choose create new crystal report (As A blank report) then i create two groups like following images:
Then I'm choosing the table. I'm doing this once again with another table i want.
My Crystal report design look like this:
Now my Result is this:
But I want to take this result:(This result is painted)
Maybe it looks like easy for you, but i need a helping hand for solving this.
I choosed link options(Full inner join)
In Design Form
The grouping functionality within Crystal maintains the data relationship and makes it easier to read by not repeating the group text for each line item - if you group by "A", you will see all items, including the "group 2 duplicates" so long as they are in group A. Adding a second group will further refine the subset of results.
This is the intended and expected behavior for Crystal - SQL-level grouping is different and is used for aggregate functions, among other things.
If you are trying to create a multi-column report, look at this
Can I make a two column Crystal Report? - Under Section Expert, go to Details and click the box "format with Multiple Columns", then click Layout at the top and enter the detail size, in inches, as well as the gap between details. if you want your groups to continue in the additional columns, click the "Format groups with Multiple Column" checkbox.
If this does not satisfy your requirement, you may have to reevaluate the report requirements and the dataset limitations.

How do I specify columns to include in a matrix

I have a matrix that has a group filtered at the matrix level. I can't filter the SQL because it is very large and is used all over my report.
I need to be able to specify the columns to display after the filter is applied.
The end filter would look something like this
if ColumnA[value] IN Test1,Test2,Test3 OR ColumnB[name]
As you can see I want a value string filter and make sure ColumnB get displayed at all times.
Or being able to specify the columns to show in the matrix would work also.
You can filter at the dataset level: see here for more detail.
To filter a tablix, go into Tablix Properties and open up the Filters tab. You can write a Boolean expression (must evaluate to TRUE for the record to come into the Tablix) to do the filtering there.
I ended up using a tablix and creating columns for each column I wanted to display and rows for each row item. I then used a Count(IIF()) statement to match the specific item I needed to calculate for that cell. I wanted to use the matrix so it would not be so long winded but in the end I got the job done. I have since used this method on many occasions.

How to create non filtered summary in a filtered report in crystal reports

Pretty new to CR
I have a grouped survey report filtered by a parameter so (of course) all the summary's in the report are being filtered by the parameter.
I need a "average" summary on a group (question) that is not filtered by the parameter.
Not sure on how to go about this.
Thanks
There are many options to tackle this problem, but the one that will require the fewest changes to your report will be if you use a SQL Expression (basically a subquery) to get that unfiltered average.
Let's say that you're grouping your report by {table.group} and looking for the average of {table.number}. You could create an expression like:
case when "table"."group" is null then null
else (select average(number)
from table
where group="table"."group")
end
Note that the double-quoted fields refer back to the main query, so you're effectively correlating the average per group back to each row from the main report which can then be used in the Group Footer or Group Header.
