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.

Good afternoon!
I have created a report with the wizard to create a matrix that is grouped and has drill down rows. I have added filters to the rows and columns and it works great! I then copied that matrix and modified the filters, so I had two matrixes.
But what I really wanted was those two rows in the same matrix, just in different row groups. So I added another group, using the adjacent below option, and then added all the child groupings. However, when I run the report it shows the values for the first row of the drill down data.
When I look at the groupings I can see the one I did manually has a 'Static' field in each row grouping but the ones that the wizard did (with the red ?), they don't have that "extra" row:
What do I need to change or how do I need to add my groups so that I don't get that "static" row and not show the data? I have the visibility set to 'Hidden' and the toggle set up for the prior grouping set data.
Assuming a few things....
the data comes from a single dataset
You are differentiating between Property and Violent crimes by filtering on a column, I'll call it IncidentGroup for the sake of illustration..
I've understood your question ! :)
Get to the point where you had just a single tablix filtered to show 'Property crime'.
Now remove or edit that filter so it shows all the data you need in the report.
Finally, right click on your Matrix1_IncidentCategory row and add a parent group, choose IncidentGroup (or whatever the column is actually called) and check the box to add a group header.
That should be it, there is no need for a second tablix.
Without knowing how you are filtering currently it's hard to give a complete answer but this should get you close, if not all the way there.
If this doesn't work for whatever reason, please post sample data from your dataset output and your current filters.
I'm stuck with Google Sheets.
Situation:
I have a data table with projects. Each project as a few attributes, most importantly including which team member has worked on the project this month.
Goal:
I need to convert the data to a new table that is built up differently. I need one row per project per active team member.
Sample data and goal:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1QcNPsvHX8hBNUpCJiutof8yD8ukFYcCXM_pLNrQmDUs/edit?usp=sharing (can edit)
As you can see, SEO and Island now have two rows instead of one, as Jan AND Chris have worked on the projects this month.
Approach:
I tried FILTER, QUERY (with pivot) and thought about Scripting (basically its an iteration over the Matrix B3:E8...). However, I am not particularly skilled at Sheets and am very thankful for your help. Thanks a billion, guys!!!
You can do this a fairly standard way by using Textjoin to join together the corresponding column headers and other data for the non-blank cells, then separating it into rows then rows and columns with the Transpose and Split functions:
=ArrayFormula(split(transpose(split(textjoin("¶",true,if(B3:E8="","",A3:A8&"|"&F3:F8&"|"&G3:G8&"|"&H3:H8&"|"&I3:I8&"|"&B2:E2)),"¶")),"|"))
I want to create two filters in one SlickGrid Table. One will have "input field" based filter where i should be able to put expression, i.e. value > 10 which will give me the results greater than 10 values. The second filter will be the excel like filter where it should be able to list all the values from the first filter result and once user select some values it should show those selected values as result.
Basically, looking for combining result of two filters.
I do have some examples as mentions below
http://mleibman.github.io/SlickGrid/examples/example-header-row.html
http://danny-sg.github.io/slickgrid-spreadsheet-plugins/examples/example-2-everything.htm
Looking into combining above two filters in one table.
Is it possible to write two filters in one table using SlickGrid? Let me know how to achieve the same.
I'm trying create two groups from two different tables. I choose create new crystal report (As A blank report) then i create two groups like following images:
Then I'm choosing the table. I'm doing this once again with another table i want.
My Crystal report design look like this:
Now my Result is this:
But I want to take this result:(This result is painted)
Maybe it looks like easy for you, but i need a helping hand for solving this.
I choosed link options(Full inner join)
In Design Form
The grouping functionality within Crystal maintains the data relationship and makes it easier to read by not repeating the group text for each line item - if you group by "A", you will see all items, including the "group 2 duplicates" so long as they are in group A. Adding a second group will further refine the subset of results.
This is the intended and expected behavior for Crystal - SQL-level grouping is different and is used for aggregate functions, among other things.
If you are trying to create a multi-column report, look at this
Can I make a two column Crystal Report? - Under Section Expert, go to Details and click the box "format with Multiple Columns", then click Layout at the top and enter the detail size, in inches, as well as the gap between details. if you want your groups to continue in the additional columns, click the "Format groups with Multiple Column" checkbox.
If this does not satisfy your requirement, you may have to reevaluate the report requirements and the dataset limitations.
I have two datasets in my birt report :
Lesson (date)
Student (name)
and I would like to know how to create a cross table using the date (red) as the column names and name (blue) as the row names as shown below :
The cells will stay empty.
I have try to use the Cross Tab but it seems that I can only use one dataset.
For information I am stuck with the version 2.5.2. I say this in case someone writes about a practical functionality available in the later version of birt... :-)
Where both datasets are coming from the same relational data source, the simplest way to achieve this would normally be:
Replace the existing two datasets with a single dataset, in which the two original datasets are cross-joined to each other;
create a crosstab from the new dataset, with the new dataset columns as the data cube groups.
