How to add a tablix control to a report? - ssrs-tablix

This seems like a simple question but I cannot find anything on adding a tablix control to an SSRS report.
I don't see this control in the toolbox in bids or in report builder 3.0.
I'm using SSRS 2008 R2.
Can someone kindly tell me how to add this control to a report?

I found the answer here:
The table, matrix, and list data regions are represented on the ribbon by templates for the underlying tablix data region. When you add one of these templates to a report, you are actually adding a tablix data region that is optimized for a specific data layout. By default, a table template displays detail data in a grid layout, a matrix displays group data in a grid layout, and a list displays detail data in a free-form layout.
Could it be any more unintuitive?

Filter across pages in Google datastudio

I have a multi page report with Page 1 having a Table chart with filter interactions ON. When I click on a row in this Table chart, I need my other pages also to get filtered based on this row selection.
If I make this table chart report-level, then this table chart will be visible in other pages which I do not want. What is the best possible way to solve this problem?
An alternative approach is to use a Filter Control (set to Report-level) instead of a Table; additionally, a default selection could be set.

SSRS Binding Textbox to a field from the query

I have a question similar to this one:
How do you populate an SSRS TextBox with a DataSet value?
I'm on old release 2012 R1 and designing report in Visual Studio 2010 shell.
I want user to enter a specific order number, and thus the query will return just one row. I want to show the fields down the page (better for viewing/printing), instead of across the page like the normal table does (especially if I have so many fields that they don't fit on the width of one screen).
Example:
Don't I just bind the textbox to a database field on the properties using DataElementName. That's what I didn't understand about the post I referenced above.
I think I figured it out. I clicked Action then was able to select the database field from a list. After that, I also noticed I can right click, then click "Expressions", and the following screen appears:

Excel mock-up
Report table layout
I need it to out put like the Excel image ideally if possible, I've found the value id's but i'm stumped as to how if I can at all display them in the columns I've labelled.
It looks like you need to use a matrix control in your report. It will display your values in a pivot view like Excel.

SSRS 2005 - Add Static Column Header in a Matrix report

All my SSRS knowledge came to nothing, when I need to create a report in SSRS 2005.
I prepared a Matrix report. Class is grouped (In green).
See the images below.
Fig 1: This is what I am trying to create
Fig 2: This is what I have so far created.
Question:
Do we have static column Header option in SSRS 2005. (In 2008/2012 ,we add a row above and outside the group)?
Any ideas to bring the static header (Header in red colored part of the report)
PS:
once again, I am looking for a solution in SSRS 2005
Edit: 04/09
Session and Paper as a group on ROW
Class on Column group
Under Column group, Average, Class Max, Class Min and Attendance
I don't know that there is a good built-in way to do this properly and it seems microsoft fixed the issue in SSRS 2008.
one possible workaround is to add a Rectangle into the top-left cell of the matrix at first, and then add multiple textboxes in to it for displaying column headers.

MS Expression Blend: Sketchflow - Populating a sub datagrid with data upon selecting a specific row of a master datagrid?

I've recently started using Expression Sketchflow to prototype some user interface designs. I currently have a master datagrid at the top of the page, which I would like to allow the user when selecting a particular grid row to see a sub-datagrid below be populated with specific data relevant to that specific row of master data.
Could anyone shed some light on the subject!?
Help greatly appreciated.
I figured out how to do this by reading this article:
Expression Blend 3 – secrets of working with data.
Here's the basic steps (you already did a couple it sounds like)
Create your sample data set
Under the Data tab select the List Mode and drag your collection onto the screen, a list view of your data will be created (Master datagrid)
Now, select the Details Mode and drag and drop your collection onto the screen where you want the details to be displayed. (sub datagrid)
Tweak the fields displayed by dragging properties into the respective containers or modifying the XAML / Bindings list
If you have a child collection in your data, you may have to jump through a few more hoops.
