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.

The requirement:
My users want a slicer which displays the dimensions of a data table they can then select from and have the dimensions display in a corresponding matrix visual along with two measures, Sales TY and Sales LY.
Progress so far.
I’ve achieved this by taking the table, selecting the column which indexes the table and unpivoting the rest of the columns. Next I place a slicer on the report and attach it to the unpivoted table’s Attributes field (now renamed as ‘Column’). Finally, I add a matrix visual to the report and add to it the unpivoted table fields Column, Index and Value fields. Now when I click on the slicer, whichever dimensions I select appear in the matrix.
The problem:
However, when adding the measures previously created (Sales TY and Sales LY) to the matrix, each measure is repeated after every column selected for display, whereas I only want the measures to display once.
Does anyone know if this possible? I’ve tried a number of approaches but nothing seems to work. I’m a new user so apologies if this is an FAQ I’ve yet to come across or I’m doing something glaringly obviously wrong. As I say I’m only just starting out in DAX and Power BI. I’m looking pretty hard at table functions and the Switch statement with the hope of calculating the solution somehow but haven’t managed it yet. Any advice, steer or comment greatly appreciated, thanks.
Currently, am trying to retrieve data from this page: https://www.hdb.gov.sg/cs/infoweb/residential/renting-a-flat/renting-from-the-open-market/rental-statistics , as you can see, there are 4 quarters in a year, and for each quarter, there is a different table. I wish to extract the table but currently, i am unable to automate the process, only able to take one. On top of that, i wish to add two columns to the retrieved data table which is "Quarter" and "Year". Any suggestions? Attached photos are my workflow and my excel.
Get the number of years/ loop through the years (or start with the 1st year up to the last year).
For each year try to get the data via data scraping (the elements exist, just hidden/not expanded ; do one table datascraping for data modelling and reuse it within the loop). For the datascraping you need to change the selector, to make it usable for all tables by using the year and the quarter (just a generic example, like * year * quarter *). Columns are the same for all tables.
I haven't seen details within the website menu or within the page, is good to check if robots are allowed to scrape for data
Above would be the quickest way. More complex with FindChidren activity.

Hi, i am new to crystal reports but a fast learner.
I need to make a report, that shows the price of specific maintenance during a month.
The important thing is that the Total values are correct
As you see the "arbejdsordre" can appear multiple times because on the same column it has different "titel" the different "titel" has different "planlagt tid" but the same "Omkostninger"
I need to tell crystal report to only calculate "omkostninger" for "arbejdsordre" one time when "arbejdsordre appears several times.
how can i do this?
Best regards
André
If you go into the Group Expert and then group your report data by Omkostninger you should be able to accomplish your goal.
Display the value for "Omkostninger" in the Group Header, and then display the different "titel" and "planlagt tid" in the details section or any other group header section that is a lower level grouping than Omkostninger.
This will allow you to display each unique value for Omkostninger once and only once on the report, with all of the other data for each Omkostninger value displayed in the details.
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 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).
