In my post yesterday I showed a spreadsheet that I am trying to re-create:
<How to show different groups in same matrix where no parent or child relationship>
Following that post I have created an SSRS report placing multiple matrix directly underneath each other. I have placed them so that there is 0 points between each matrix. I have hidden the header row in all of the matrix's except the top one.
Unfortunately that is causing white space between each matrix where I do not want any. I want to replicate the spreadsheet from my initial post.
I have found lots of posts but only 1 where it concerned hidden matrix header rows and that did not seem to have a conclusive answer:
<hiding and removing white space of header in ssrs report>
Is there any way to get each matrix to roll up to directly underneath the matrix above so that there is no white space between them and the header is still hidden in each of the bottom matrix's?

I have multiple images in the column portion of a matrix that displays the image if there is one. If there is not an image defined for the image number, the report correctly hides the image (as the BorderColor = Black is not shown) but the white space still remains.
I have tried every possible combination (except the correct one obviously) to no avail.
My objective is to only have the width of the 8 images be 2
Any Ideas?...And splitting the images into individual lines is not an option as it negates the whole premise of using the Matrix.
I have tried placing the hidden code in every possible Hidden field in the report. All postings found all refer to a SINGLE image and not MULTIPLE images.
I have a report with multiple sets of data, but only one dataset. I've accomplished this by setting up multiple different columns in my table that SSRS uses. I set up a rectangle that contains a text box header and a tablix; the tablix is filtered on an identification column in the table so it only shows its own data. What I'd like to do is to only show each rectangle if there is applicable data.
I know that I can solve this problem by adding another row in my tablix and moving the text box title into it, and then showing or hiding the tablix based on whether or not it has data. That's probably the smart move. But before I did that, I wondered if there was a way to assign visibility to the rectangle based on the presence or lack of values in an arbitrary column in SSRS. First doesn't work, because everything other than the first rectangle has NULL in the relevant columns on the first row. Count doesn't work because the rectangle isn't actually hooked to data. What I'm looking for is something like a WHERE clause (=Count() where type = "ab" or something). Like I said, I can go with the tablix route. But the broader scope of this is the ability to control the presence on the report of various items based on the results that have been returned.
I am trying to display text on an SSRS report in a fixed position, regardless of the content above it. The problem is the content above may be one to three lines. As the above content fluctuates, so does the beginning of the next row of content. This happens in two places on the report.
In other words, I need two static starting points for dynamic content. I am printing text onto a pre-designed invoice that doesn't contain any customer data. The invoice is just a template (or shell if you will) and I am to position the data to print into spaces provided on that invoice.
Please see attachments. The attachment with two rows in each field is lining up correctly. I have done this intentionally as a basis. As you can see on the other two attachments, with either one or three rows, the content isn't lining up where it should be due to more or less content than my basis.
I have toyed around with cangrow & canshrink but couldn't get the results as desired.
Appreciate the help!
I think you're going to need to re-work your table to get working the way you want.
The way I would do it would be to have one table that groups each page data. Use this table to format your data - putting Rectangles in the area for your lines of data. Rectangles can have a set height so they fill your area when there isn't enough data.
Then you'll have to add another tables inside each of the rectangles to display each sections data.
See my example below - the RED represents where the Rectangles would go and the BLUE for tables.
I would keep the old table intact and copy and paste it in each rectangle. Then remove all the parts that that section doesn't need and set your rectangle to the correct size.
I want to save my Visio shapes as an .svg file to incorporate into a XML document. However, when i save it ALL the values in my shape are set to 0. I've quadruple checked the shape data and all the values are there and the formulas are returning the correct values. The strange thing is, saving as a .svg works in Visio 2007 and all values are correct, but in Visio 2010 all the values are 0. Why is this? Unfortunately this is my first post, so I can't add screenshots as i don't have 10 rep.
The shape is 4 individual rows grouped together. The data is stored in the "Main" shape, i.e all rows grouped together. The cell in the individual shape then references its value from the main shape.
Example of 1 of the 4 main shape row forumlas:
ShapeData Property - Value = Sheet.1!Prop.Row_2 (references main shape rows, stores value)
Text Field Property - Value = Prop.Row_1 (references its single row, containing value of main shape)
The real kick here is I fixed this problem 4 months ago, but my colleagues had more shapes with the same issue. I cannot remember how i fixed it, and the shape that I fixed is identical in terms of structure and data handling.
Something strange that I also noticed is that when i type ".Value" after the Value field text in either the Text Fields or Shape Data properties, the ".Value" gets automatically omitted after I press enter, but then the field produces the right .svg output. However, this does not work when I make that change in the master shape. So effectively, I'd have to go into every single value field and manually type ".Value" and press enter for it to work. I've also tried turning off all shape protection, no joy.
I'm currently in the process of writing a macro to "refresh" all the value fields by adding ".Value" after them to mimic me manually typing that in.
Any help or feedback would be greatly appreciated!
I believe this is upgrade issue (2007->2010). Have seen this a few times. To fix try:
Open the diagram in Visio 2003 (or 2007), but not in Visio 2010
Save it as .VDX (Visio XML Drawing) file
Close it
Open the VDX file again in the same Visio
Save it back as normal VSD file. This should fix the broken VSD file.
Delete the VDX file, it is not needed
If this doesn't work then try sharing the source file (dropbox or whatever).
The problem was that the rows Text Fields were Data Object types. When I removed the Text shape protection and inserted a Shape Data field, the correct values were shown on the .svg output file.
I am having problems with a table containing checkboxes in Word.
I am working with a table containing 10 checkboxes. Next to this table, there is an image.
When the user checks one of the checkboxes, something has to be added to the image, i.e. the image is further completed.
However, the order of checking the checkboxes is not fixed or defined, so there are lots of different combinations.
Is there a way to add the additional parts to the original image, linked to the checkboxes? Or is this way too advanced for Word?
Word doesn't have this type of built-in functionality with images. There are too many state combinations for the checkboxes to make an image for each state in advance. One possibility could be to find a dll or ocx and draw the image programatically (advanced). Another would be to edit your image in photoshop and cut it up into 10 separate files using a transparent background. You could then add and remove layers to wherever you are displaying your image and control the z-ordering with vb.
