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 have two things I have been using, neither of which are keeping the image/table exactly where I placed it within the text in R markdown when knitted to a pdf.
 will place the image where there is space on the page. That is, if the page has space, the image will print between the desired text. However, if the page does not have the space, the text is placed to fill the page and then the image awkwardly inserts itself in the middle of the paragraph on the next page.
I am having a similar problem with my kable tables. I have tried using latex_options = 'hold_position', but this seems to only keep my tables from grouping together.
Is there a way to have my table stay between the text that I want? So if it needs to start a whole new page, to fit it, it can without trying to fill the space with the text below.
Thank you in advance.
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 am working on creating text based data feed files that have fixed column widths. Example: Position 1-5 is record layout ID, position 6-35 is part number, position 36-70 is description, etc.
I wish there were a tool I could provide these data input widths, then paste in the raw text to visually see where it lines up. Conceptually, this would seem to be a pretty simple tool.
Do you know of any solutions or creative ideas?
Thanks!
Use https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/substr
Layout Id would be str.substr(1, 5)
Part number would be str.substr(6, 35)
etc.
Need to display line in a line-chart , with the ability to move the tiles, to see a max bitrate value line, to see labels and axis pointers on hover, grouped with a table and time Slider.Y dimension needs to display "bitrate total" or "bitrate Avg" (as defined in code). X dimension needs to display 15 min interval in scope of weeks.
I can upload my data into a table but not into the line graph. I can see points on the graph using .renderDataPoints() but no lines.
I checked the data - could not find any null/NaN values being returned, not using any old version of colors.
The code can be found in https://jsfiddle.net/dani2011/bu2ag0f7/8/. Tried to replace my CSV with var data but nothing is being displayed at the moment in the fiddle. The code as whole is displayed in https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/dc-js-user-group/MEslyF2RWRI
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here's my go-to-answer for how to put data into a jsFiddle. Basically it's easiest to stick it in an unused tag in the HTML. bl.ocks.org / blockbuilder.org is easier for this.
Here's a fork of your fiddle with the data loaded that way:
http://jsfiddle.net/gordonwoodhull/bu2ag0f7/17/
I also had to remove the spaces from the column names, because those got d3.csv confused and caused the BITRATE calculations to fail.
There was also some stray code inside the renderlet which was failing with a complaint about dim not existing.
The main reason why data was not displaying was because the input groups were not producing usable aggregated data. Your data is very close together in time, so aggregating by week would aggregate everything.
The way to debug this is to put a breakpoint or a console.log before the chart initialization and look at the results of group.all()
In this case bitrateWeekMinIntervalGroupMove and minIntervalWeekBitrateGroup were returning an array with one key/value pair. No lines can be drawn with one point. :)
It looks like you originally wanted to aggregate by 15 minute intervals, so let's get that working.
For whatever reason, there are two levels of aggregation in crossfilter, the dimension level and the group level. The dimension will have first crack at generating a key, and then the group will further refine these keys.
Your min15 function will map each time-key to the 15-minute mark before it, but it needs data that is higher than 15 minutes in resolution. So let's put these groups on the dateDimension, which hasn't already been mapped to a lower resolution:
var minIntervalWeekBitrateGroup = dateDimension.group(min15).reduceSum(function (d) {
return +d.BITRATE
});
var bitrateWeekMinIntervalGroupMove = dateDimension.group(min15).reduce(
...
Great, now there are 30 data points. And it draws lines.
I made the dots a bit smaller :) because at 30 pixels it was hard to see the lines.
Zooming in using the range chart reveals more of lines:
There still seem to be glitches in the reduce function (or somewhere) because the lines drop to zero when you zoom in too far, but hopefully this is enough to get you moving again.

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.
