I am developing an RDL in SSRS 2008. I took 3 subreports and converted them into one report. So now I have one RDL file with 3 tablices. But one dataset since I merged all 3 subreport datasets into one now. (So I just joined each of these 3 tables into one).
But now I want to sort all 3 of these tablices by date field common to all. I know I have selected a date field that all 3 tablices join on. Then I wrapped all 3 tablices in a List Control and set this List Control to Sort by this date field: "actual_date".
But now when I view report output, it instead sorts all of Tablix A by actual_date, followed by all of Tablix B by actual_date, then followed by Tablix C by actual_date.
Instead, if a record in B occurs prior to a record in A, then I want that one B record to be listed before this one A record. How can I achieve this?
You need to combine the tablixes into one. SSRS won't split up a tablix and interleave it with another one.
So make a tablix that can contain all three types of data. You can use expressions in the cells to change what field the cell displays. Then set the sorting at the appropriate level (details group or a parent group.)

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.
Everything except for the name may or may not be different, but it doesn't matter.
How do you make it so the name and address (first column) can only show once if the value on multiple rows is the same? There is no way to merge the rows together due to the numbers of rows being generated from a group expression. But if there is another way to merge then can someone tell me how to do it? If not, then is there at least a way to blank out the second and third repeating names (and address)?
This is how you hide repeating values in a tablix column.
In design mode, click on the detail cell that you want to keep from repeating if the values are the same. In this case, you are referring to that one as the name and address column.
Look for the HideDuplicates property in the Properties pane. Set the value to the name of the dataset the tablix is using.
Now, when you run the report, that value should only show once. The other rows where the value had been repeating will be blank in that cell.
Set the borders appropriately (none, or solid) to make it look like the cells are merged. Doing the above alone will not merge the cells. Only a row group will do that.
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.
I have a matrix report with 9 Row Groups and 1 Column Group (Months).
Instead of showing duplicate rows on the row groups, SSRS and Excel merge those fields. I would like them unmerged! I would like them to duplicate on my report.
I tried going to the parent group and grouping by every other field. This worked until I added two rows within the group, (which I need).
I guess you could also say that I really want my row groups to look like a table. If there's a better way to do that, I'm all ears!
enter image description here
Is it TYPE field that you need all the lines for?
The bracket to the left (under Row Groups) indicates that you are Grouping on something. Remove the Group Only (but not the rows and columns) so you are not grouping and all lines will be displayed.
I have a (parent) report that has a list. The details group of this list contains one sub-report. So basically if the list has 10 records (rows) the sub-report is executed 10 times.
The problem seems to be with interactive sorting in the Sub-Report. It has 4 columns with interactive sorting enabled. When I run the parent report and try to sort columns SSRS "remembers" the previous sort column and sorts by multiple columns at the same time. For example if I sort by Col A then click to sort by Col B, SSRS will preserve the sorting of Col A (and the direction) and then apply the sorting to Col B. However I simply want to sort by Col B and do not want to Col A to be part of the sort.
When I try this directly with the sub-report everything works as expected.
Any ideas why this is happening?
This is a potential bug in SSRS 2008. I used a table instead of a list in the parent report and everything is now working correctly. Go figure!
