SSRS merge rows vertical in a single column - visual-studio

I'm looking to merge vertical rows for only a single column of my report, so that when that column has lots of data, it doesn't force the left rows to expand.
The answer appears to be using a matrix (e.g. SSRS tablix Merging cells vertically problem), but I'm not clear how it would work in this case.
For example, in the screen-shot below, I'd like to spread the confirmation footer text through the following 4 rows, so that the first row (Sales Contact, Angela Thomson, Confirmation Footer, The credit card used...) is the same width as the others and that the Sales Contact info on the left is not pushed down (i.e. the Title row should be just below Sales Contact, and not have all that space in between.
Any thoughts on this?

You could use a series of nested tablixes. Create each tablix in your report then drag and drop into the main tablix until you get the effect you're after. (nested data regions reference).
Here's the design of 3 nested tablixes
Here's the preview of the report

pivot table not showing totals with conditional formatting

When I apply conditional formatting (gradient background) to a QuickSight pivot table, the Total row does not show any values. If I remove the conditional formatting, the values on the Total row appear. The image shows the same (duplicated) pivot table. The one with conditional formatting shows no Totals. The one without conditional formatting shows Totals.
Anyone else encounter this? I'm stumped... QuickSight Pivot Tables
To apply conditional formatting to the TOTALS in the QS dashboard, you can follow below approach and this should solve your problem:
Click on option at the top right of your pivot visual and click on conditional formatting.
On the various conditions you have mentioned, click on the button besides it as shown in the image below.
enter image description here
After clicking this there will be three checkboxes values, subtotals and totals. Check the totals box and you are done.
Do let me know if it works.

Need to show "GRAND TOTAL" as a row header in OBIEE

I have a UNION report which contains 2 criteria. First Criteria contains all the individual values i.e. Student ID, Maths Mark, Science Marks. The 2nd criteria contains the TOTAL of Maths and Science Marks of all the students. In the 2nd criteria I need to show GRAND TOTAL as a ROW HEADER. How can be achieved?
You will need to create a pivot table:
Create a pivot table view, then Edit the pivot table view and move the attributes to the desired sections (Rows, Columns, and Measures). Drag and drop them until it looks like what you need.
In the pivot table view editor pane, next to the TOTAL column, change the Default Aggregation to Sum.
Next to the Student ID column (I presume it should be under the Rows section of the pivot table), click on the Sigma icon (Σ) icon.
Change the aggregation to display "Before" (I assume by Row header, you mean that you need the GRAND TOTAL to display to the left of the Student's marks.
Please let me know if this helps.

SSRS (VS 2013): How can I have a row group that spans multiple columns?

Hi guys, I'm trying to create a report similar to the picture shown. I need to be able to group by Risk Category and display the line 'Risk events for Risk Category X' for each risk category either above or below column headings.
I have spent a few hours playing with row groups but I've unable to display the group header spanning across the columns.
Is this even possible with SSRS? Any ideas on how to do this will be much appreciated.
thanks
Cam.
I think all you need to do is put the header label in the first column you want it to be seen under, then use the merge cells function to bridge it across however many columns you need.

Visual Studio 2013 Report RDLC with related datasets

I currently have two tables in a database "customer" and "pricelist" where a customer can have multiple pricelist items linked to their ID.
I'm trying to build a report in VS2013 where it lists all customers [alphabetically], then all of their pricelist items [alphabetically], then page break between each customer.
I've tried setting it up to use a dataset of each table, which doesn't let me group them together, and I've also tried joining the two tables into one view which was the closest I had gotten. The problem was that for each item, it printed the customer name and a page break, because of the inner join i was doing where each record has the customer name on it.
Please help me figure this out! I just want to be able to display the data as such;
CUSTOMER NAME
.........ITEM 1.....PRICE
.........ITEM 2.....PRICE
.........ETC
PAGE BREAK
CUSTOMER NAME
.........ITEM 1.....PRICE
.........ETC.
To group data in a report:
Click the Design tab.
If you do not see the Row Groups pane , right-click the design surface and click view and then click Grouping.
From the Report Data pane, drag the Date field to the Row Groups pane. Place it above the row called (Details). Note that the row handle now has a bracket in it, to show a group. The table now also has two Date columns -- one on either side of a vertical dotted line.
From the Report Data pane, drag the Order field to the Row Groups pane. Place it below Date and above (Details).
Note that the row handle now has two brackets in it, to show two groups. The table now has two Order columns, too.
Delete the original Date and Order columns to the right of the double line. This removes this individual record values so that only the group value is displayed. Select the column handles for the two columns, right-click and click Delete Columns.
Switch to the Preview tab to preview the report. It should look similar to the following illustration:

Custom Page Break in SSRS

I have a matrix report with several columns. I am trying to limit number of rows displayed on each page by inserting a page break. Since it has row groups all the data is growing vertically down on one page. Is there a way where I can control the number of rows on a page?
I have googled it a lot and found the solution where the rows were detail but in my case they all are row groups
Thanks in advance !
