The date is like:
project 1-A 11:00-12:00
project 1-B 13:00-15:00
project 1-C 17:00-17:30
These three tasks are in the same project.
And I don't want them to be three individual timeline.
So how can I combine them as a object and visualize in a timeline?
Because there are break time between two tasks, so I can't just set 1100 as start_time and set 1730 as end_time.
You can make a 'split task' out of them,
Give these tasks a common parent and mark it as split as shown here https://docs.dhtmlx.com/gantt/desktop__split_tasks.html
Then items will be displayed in the same row.

I am hopefully moving up with a promotion at work and have noticed a few things I want to change which will help out our planning.
Using Google Sheets, we create rotas for the jobs for the week and what operatives will be where and in what vehicles.
We update this multiple times during a day and are sometimes seeing people's names or vehicles duplicated across the rota, i.e., Joe Bloggs is showing as at two jobs on the same day.
What formula would allow me to create the rota, but then flag up any duplicates to ensure this doesn't happen?
Select the row in question, go to Format > Conditional Formatting, set Apply to range to all the rows you want to compare, f.ex. A1:A1000, set Format cells if... to Custom formula is and use the =COUNTIF function to count if the cell value occurs more than 1 time, for example =COUNTIF($A:$A, A1) > 1
The information is correct but its in a "staircase" with repeating columns and rows and a lot of excess empty cells.
(im new to ssrs hopefully this is really basic)
hours are stored in sub-projects, i am trying to get the sum for each project within each department
So i Added two parent groups one for projects(row) and one for departments(col), and hid the hours row since i only want the sum

I'm not sure what you have now exactly, but you just need a single row group for Project, remove any other row groups.
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.
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 have been battling this issue for days without success. I have a very tricky format of a report i need to achieve but the main thing is that all the datasets will need to be grouped by 1 parent. I'll attempt to explain...
Say we have dataset1, dataset2. Both have AccountNumber as common field(parent).
I need both datasets to be used in the format/layout of the report but grouped together by AccountNumber, something like this.
[Report Header Data]
[AccountNumber Group]
Dataset1
Dataset2
[end AccountNumber Group]
What is the best way to achieve this? The format of the report has been a major road block on grouping thus making me split the data into multiple datasets, group all them together by accountnumber and then create a custom format per dataset in the report. The flow of the report may be something like this
[Report Header Data]
[AccountNumber Group]
[tablix1]
Dataset1
[tablix1]
[tablix2]
Dataset2
[tablix2]
[end AccountNumber Group]
Looking forward to the discussion on this!
There are multiple ways to achieve this effect, and the best for your situation depends on the details of your report. So I'll just give some of the techniques I've used in the past:
Join the two datasets into one
Joining the datasets into one in your query is one of the simplest answers, and works across all versions of SSRS. It can make the SQL queries large, but it makes report layout simple.
Use the Lookup(...) function
SSRS 2008R2 added the Lookup(...) function, which can be used to access items in a second dataset. It's a little bit awkward to use, and requires a separate formula for every field to be accessed, but it is very powerful for retrieving a few fields from a different dataset.
Sub reports
Similar to the approach descibed in the original question, This lets you create a parent project with one tablix, and then place a subreport within. The subreport will be called multiple times, with the Grouping item as a parameter. Each run of the report should only return the report for that instance of the group. This can be very powerful, but maintenance is difficult: you have two places to change some thingss, and it can require manual tweaking to make sure columns line up correctly. The subreport will often be the fastest report to run, since it is getting called many times.
[NB: StackOverflow.com isn't the best place for discussions. The design of the site is set up to avoid discussion and aim towards question & answers, not discussion.]
I don't know if there's a perfect solution here.
Based on your description, (and it sounds like you're leaning in this direction already) you'll need a Dataset for each distinct AccountNumber, and create a new list or table based on this.
Once you have this set up you need to embed the different Dataset objects (i.e. tablix1, tablix2) in each row.
The main issue here is that you can't use multiple Datasets when embedding tablixes within tablixes, so this makes me think that you may need a subreport solution - this way the subreports can take an AccountNumber parameter and each use a different Dataset.
So something like:
[Report Header Data]
[AccountNumber Group]
[subreport1]
[tablix1]
Dataset1
[tablix1]
[subreport1]
[subreport2]
[tablix2]
Dataset2
[tablix2]
[subreport2]
[end AccountNumber Group]
This will repeat for each AccountNumber as required.
It's tough to say without knowing exactly what your data looks like, but in 2008R2 and above you can use Lookup and LookupSet to join Datasets, but that will be cumbersome for multiple values, even if you are running the correct edition.
Again, depending on your data, another option is adjacent groups, if you can manage to get the data in one Dataset... This would allow to have different groupings next to another under the AccountName group, but it's a long shot.
It would be great if we know the report data e.g Payslip, payslip with loan balance (ie Dataset 1 for payslip and Dataset 2 for loan).
Anyway, the format will depend on the required output of the report. i.e If your planning on produce calculation like sum in the report and if the result output will be per Dataset or for both dataset.
Assuming you will need sum calculations, if the calculation result will be per dataset, then option 2 is good, if the calculation result is for total (Dataset 1 + Dataset 2) then option 1 is better.
If no calculations or total result is required, either will do.
