I have a SSRS report, with a tablix with 4 rows, so each record will get 4 rows in the report, and I don't know how many record I will have and in certain case the last record get cut by the ssrs report and it other part will be on the next page. I want to move the entire record in the next page.
I try to search something on stackoverflow but I find a solution(it doesn't work for me) but this solution didn't please me because it give a DEFINITE number of rows that I can show in ONE page, but I want to do it dynamically, the record I use are very different so one record can take the half of a page or can take just 2 or 3 line of text, it's very variable. So I don't want a fix number of rows I want to move the record in the next page directly when it incomplete.
Here is the solution I found on stackoverflow
And here is some illustration of my problem:
Here is the report design:

I do know sometimes I need to think out of the box rather than sticking with that seem-impossible way out. I have to achieve a report (not complicated I guess, but for me I have no more idea how to get)
Well, the details are as follow:
The report is kind of invoice type.
Like an usual report, it has header, body and footer. In my scenario, there is no footer. Only the report header and the body. The header is ok. The Body consist of a table.
My data rows starts from row 3( because I add some content in row no 1, inside the list, as for row no 2, I have my table column header). So, actually my data row(which is directly retrieved from dataset) is at row no 3. The header repeat correctly. In fact, the table is displaying exactly as I wanted. I have two groups in my table. One is group by ItemCode, and then sort by ItemCode and Department number.
I have subtotal of value by ItemCode and Grandtotal after that. So, there are three rows for my data: one directly retrieved from dataset, one for subtotal and one for grandtotal. The problem is here:
I can't limit the number of row because of the groups. The row number rankings are messed up and that's why I can't limit. The resulting outcome is having inconsistency in showing numbers of rows.
For example I want to limit 10, but in some page, it displays 10(correct), but in the next page it might becomes 12 or 8 or even 4. That is one thing. Another is that I want to replace the missing rows(2 rows in this case) with blank rows if the it just displays only 8 rows(example). My idea is to maintain the same layout of the table in every page.
As for now, I have no more idea how to achieve my desired result. If I really cannot use row limit then how to do next. I have been researching about that for quite a long time, but still cannot get away with a solution.
I hope I have made myself clear explaining what is going on. Some part is not clear enough, then get back to me. I will try my best to explain more.
If anyone has any suggestions, please kindly share. Your help is much appreciated!
I know there must be a simple answer to this, but I can't find it.
I have added a couple of textboxes to a Matrix in a BIDS/SSRS report. I've given these textboxes values such as:
=Fields!WEEK1USAGE.Value
It works (after a fashion); when I run the report (either on the Preview tab, or on the Report Server site) I see the first corresponding data value on the report - but only one.
I would think that once a value has been assigned via expressions such as "=Fields!WEEK1USAGE.Value", each value would display (rows would automatically be added).
There must be some property on the Matrix or the textbox that specified this, but I can't see what it might be.
Here is how my report looks (very minimalistic, so far) in the Layout pane:
...and after running, on the Preview tab:
Obviously, I want the report to display as many rows as necessary, not just one. The textboxes do have a "RepeatWith" property, but there description doesn't sound interesting/useful/promising.
I don't see any property on the Matrix control that looks right, either.
I thought maybe the designer was only showing one row of values, and ran the report on the server, too, but there also it just shows the two values.
So what do I need to do to get all the data for a provided field?
Matrices are for display of grouped data and summary information, usually in a horizontally expanding pivot table type of format. Is a matrix really what you are after? Looking at your expression you have =Fields!Week1Usage.Value but in a matrix what I expect to see would be at least =Sum(Fields!Week1Usage.Value) or even better just =Sum(Fields!Usage.Value). Then you would have ProactDescription as your row group and the week as your column group and it would all just work out everything for you, grouping and summing by Proact vertically and expanding the weeks out horizontally.
What seems to be happening is that you have no grouping on rows or columns and no aggregation so it is falling back to the default display which is effectively the First function - it displays the first row of data and as far as the matrix is concerned it has done its job because there is no grouping.
Without knowing your problem or data, I'll make up a scenario that might be what you are doing and discuss how the matrix does the heavy lifting to solve that problem. Let's say you have usage data for multiple Proacts. Each time one is used you record the usage amount and the date and time it is used. It could be used multiple times per day but certainly multiple times in a week. So you might be able to get the times each Proact is used from a table like so:
SELECT ProactDescription, TimeUsed, Usage
FROM ProactUsage
ORDER BY ProactDescription, TimeUsed
In your report you want to show the total weekly usage for each Proact over multiple weeks. Something like this:
Proact Week1 Week2 Week3 ...
Description Usage Usage Usage ...
--------------------------------------------
Anise, Fennel 1 CT 20.00 22.50 16.35 ...
St John's Wort 15.20 33.90 28.25 ...
...
and so on. Using a dataset based on the SQL above we create a matrix and in the row group properties we group on =Fields!ProactDescription.Value and in the column group properties we group on a week expression like =DateDiff(DateInterval.Week, Fields!TimeUsed.Value, Today) and then in the intersection of the row and column we put =Sum(Fields!Usage.Value). To display the header of the column nicely put an expression like
="Week " & DateDiff(DateInterval.Week, Fields!TimeUsed.Value, Today)
The matrix automatically does all the summing by week and product and expands the weeks horizontally for as many as you are reporting. For bonus points you can also put totaling at the end of the columns and the rows to show the total use of that Proact for the period (row total) and total use of all Proacts in that week (column total).
I'm trying to convert a Crystal Report to SSRS and I'm having trouble with this section of the report.
The first line of the report event information: date, name, recruiter, hours, etc.
And then under the summary, the report should list changes that are considered critical changes to information about the event. Within Crystal Report, these changes are in the Details section and all changes are listed under each event.
I am trying to accomplish the same task within SSRS but I'm having some trouble with the changes summary. The event summary displays for each record of a change. In the screen shot below, you can see that DriveID 682144 had three changes, but for each change, the event summary is displayed/printed. So instead of Evoqua listed once and the three changes made to the event listed underneath, I am getting the summary displayed for each and every change within the report.
I have a row grouping for DriveID since each event has an unique ID. And I also have a Details row group that displays the changes. I've tried adding a grouping on the Details row group, but if I group on SourceDriveID, it will only display one record for each drive. I am joining the two tables on DriveID (Drivemaster.DriveID=CriticalDriveChanges.SourceDriveID)
I think it would work if the Critical Drive Changes view had a unique identifier, but it doesn't so I am trying to work with what I have. Any suggestions on making this work?
If there is anything I need to explain better, please let me know. I've been stuck on this for two days and need to get through it.
Thanks,
Your second group needs to be grouped by the key of the “changes” and not the DriveID. It’s already grouped by the DriveID because of the parent group. Grouping by the same Field again effectively gives you an extra summary row, its showing the first of the changes.
This can be done by customized summary. You can have a global variable for the summary, and use expression to do the calculation. Some tricks are needed for this kind of report.
I have an RDCL Matrix report.
Generated in Visual Studio 2013.
In Asp.net MVC5.
I am creating the report for a database based on a range of dates returned in a recordset and bound at runtime to the report. Depening on the dates returned in the dataset the columns in the report are dynamically created (matrix report).
My date range will always be for a months duration so my report is very wide and space is of importance as users want entire months date range to fit on one page.
This is how my report currently looks(sorry i had to mask out data).As you can see i can only fit until the 23 October and then it moves onto other page. I need it all to fit on one page.
This is how it looks in the designer so you can see where the groupings are.
So in order to make it fit all on one page, i was hoping it could easily move the employee row group column above the data rows (only to appear once per instance of that employee) so it doesn't take up the space in the row it currently resides in ? This should allow me to gain a little space.
I have tried to moving this column manually or re-creating the grouping and making it a group header but then all employees appear in a list instead of at the head of each section. I have looked at similar questions such as this but it's not really what i need.
Any help would be appreciated.
I would like to create a report containing a table that will not fit to one page, since it has too many columns. I want BIRT to create a report that you can print and put the pages next to each other to get the whole table.
An Example:
My table has 20 columns, 10 fit on one page. The Table has enough rows to fill 2 pages. When I put the printed pages on a table like this:
P1 - P2
P3 - P4
I see the whole table with all 20 columns. How can I do that with BIRT report designer 3.7.0?
Since Birt is page oriented, I guess this will not work.
I guess you'll have to create one report with the whole table to display on the screen, and another "print optimized" one with two tables distributed over two pages.
I actually saw a similar question on the official BIRT eclipse forum. They suggested adding a page break inside the table and that should break up the columns across the different pages (unless I mis-understood what you are trying to accomplish).
