JMeter Dashboard Report has an anomaly under the "Statistics" table where the total samples do not match the individual lines if added up.
Have you ever encountered this behavior before? What is your impression about what might be going on?
I can only think of Filtering applied
Here is an example of generating dashboard from the same .jtl results file without and with filter.
so I would recommend to check:
Your JMeter command line
jmeter.properties file
user.properties file
for any occurrence of jmeter.reportgenerator.exporter.html.series_filter property, once you remove it - the sample results count should match

I am not able to show the report to the management team in proper format. if you guys have any standared format or global format then please suggest me.
JMeter's .jtl results file is basically a CSV file containing Sampler start time, elapsed time, connect time, whether it was successful or not, and so on, the columns can be chosen via Results File Configuration
So you need to ask your management what form of "report" do they expect and generate tables and charts they're looking for.
Some options you can use fully or partially:
JMeter Listeners which can read the .jtl file, do some calculations/plotting and save the output in form of CSV or PNG files
JMeter Plugins Command Line Tool which does the same but provides possibility of automation and some extra charts on top
Graphs Generator Listener
It's possible to generate HTML Reporting Dashboard out of the .jtl results file
There is BlazeMeter Uploader plugin (can be installed using JMeter Plugins Manager) which uploads your test results to BlazeMeter and you can export a management-friendly report from there
And last but not the least you can use MS Excel or equivalent to produce whatever output you want
I am outputting results from 30 tests to a single xml file.
Currently the file includes latency, connection time, and whether it returned OK. I want the endpoint I am hitting to also be shown. My tests run in sequence and output to a single file.
It's Save URL checkbox:
You can also achieve the same by amending JMeter Results File Configuration like:
jmeter.save.saveservice.output_format=xml
jmeter.save.saveservice.time=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.filename=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.latency=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.response_code=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.url=true
and others set to false
Put your changes to user.properties file, JMeter restart will be required to activate the changes.

I'm facing a weird situation with Jmeter 5.4.1
When running a suite, in my results tree all I can see are the results from first 7 (of 30) tests, and in the report, 20 of 30 tests.
All calls are simple and have just a status code and body response assert, and nothing more.
Anyone aware about this issue?
I don't think it's "weird", it's "by design".
By default JMeter stores/shows 500 last results in the View Results Tree listener
If you want to remove this limitation you can add the next line to user.properties file:
view.results.tree.max_results=0
JMeter restart will be required to pick the property up. Then you will be able to see all the results (given they will fit into memory)

how can I ignore errors and proceed to generate the dashboard report.
I have been seeing annoying errors example:
org.apache.jmeter.report.dashboard.GenerationException: Error while processing samples:Mismatch between expected number of columns:16 and columns in CSV file:1
Due to extra space or newline in the files, I am dealing with 8GB of huge, all these minor issues in the csv file are consuming a lot of time when generating reports.
The error means that your .jtl result file is malformed. Default JMeter configuration should produce something like:
timeStamp,elapsed,label,responseCode,responseMessage,threadName,dataType,success,failureMessage,bytes,sentBytes,grpThreads,allThreads,Latency,IdleTime,Connect
1519031460845,364,HTTP Request,200,OK,Thread Group 1-1,text,true,,1598,115,1,1,364,0,227
If you amended your JMeter configuration for any reason try reverting it to default and if the issue still persists - inspect your .jtl result file and identify the problematic sampler result entries to detect what causes these extra spaces or line breaks.
If you run JMeter tests on one JMeter instance and generating dashboard using another JMeter instance - they must have the same configuration in terms of jmeter.save.saveservice properties, otherwise dashboard generation might fail or results will be inconsistent.

Generating Report Dashboard
I have a JMeter test plan which is running two thread groups, with each thread group containing a controller and HTTP cookie manager. The controller is a custom controller, but I don't think this should affect JMeter's output.
Outside the two thread groups, I have an Aggregate Report component. Here is a screenshot of my TestPlan:
If I run the test in GUI mode, as you would expect, the Aggregate Report creates an.... aggregate report. That is, the results are aggregated on my test/sample labels, and I get one row for each test, and a range of attributes, as below:
I also have configured this Aggregate Report component to output to a file, by entering a filename in the "Filename" section, and pressing the "Configure" button and checking the attributes I'd like to be output (I've kept it simple for now with just the label, elapsed time and response code).
When I run my test from non-gui mode, this output file is the only way to view the results. However, the output file is rather useless and it does not aggregate the results, but instead gives me output similar to the usual jtl output, i.e. it doesn't aggregate the results at all. Pretty useless. Here is the top few lines of my output file, you can clearly see they are not aggregated:
778,HRLogin,200
426,HRLogin,200
784,HRLogin,200
...
So, the obvious question, am I doing something wrong here? Why is my aggregate report output not an aggregate report? Surely JMeter has a way for producing aggregate output in non-gui mode, without me adding any plug-in or extensions. For the record I need to script this process at some point, so opening a JTL in gui mode is not acceptable, I need this entire process to occur within non-gui JMeter and scripts.
Thanks!
The values you see in the Aggregate Report GUI are calculated from the raw data which is stored in the .jtl file.
If you need to make the process unattended, depending on metrics you need to obtain here are the options:
Since JMeter 3.0 there is a HTML Reporting Dashboard which contains some tables and charts. You can either generate a dashboard from existing results file or make it a part of your test. See Generating Reports chapter for the relevant commands.
Another way to get basic HTML report is running JMeter via Ant Task or Maven Plugin - in both cases you'll get test output like:
See Five Ways To Launch a JMeter Test without Using the JMeter GUI guide for details on configuring a JMeter test run through Ant and/or Maven. There is a number of pre-defined .xsl stylesheets in "extras" folder, you can take whatever you like and customize if needed.
You can also consider running your JMeter test via Taurus tool, it provides interactive console and web-based reporting and has few more options to export test results.
