I have a matrix report in which i embedded an image in the page header, i want that image to be alighned at the right most top corner of the page when we view the report, Pls help me What to do to achieve this.
In ssrs preview tab and When i export to excel i am getting the rows wrapped up (Please see current output below) but i want LOB and description in each row (Please see Expected output below).

I need to remove some empty lines from my matrix.. how can i do it?
I tried to use the visibility expression, but hide me the contents of the line, but not the space of the rows.... I need to remove them from the report... check the image on:
Seems simple. Â People working in departments with different types of hours (regular, overtime, vacation... thus the grid which pivots hours in rows to the appropriate columns). Â I want to subtotal by department, but whenever I try to add totals after to that group, I just get a grand total. Â No subtotals. Â Why?
I have one Matrix Report developed in BIDS(2008R2). If I export this report into Excel sheet exact structure what i developed in BIDS its coming. But If I exported into CSV I am loosing Structure and Columns showing as Rows.
I developed one dynamic column (matrix) report. while export to excel it 's show same output as SSRS have. but while exporting CSV pivot column not coming as same as Excel and SSRS screen. data is moving to rows.
I have created the matrix report which has dynamic column, it grow columns(18) based on the 'MCU' field in PRD.MI table. I have added the 'MCU'(A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,...Q) on 'Columns' in matrix table, to create matrix report and I have added 'mcst' on 'Data' in matrix table and I have added the 'msp2' on 'Rows' in matrix table. I have created new column after row and I added USP2DS.Final output is as given below.I need the split the matrix column per page.
I have added the 'MCU' on "Column group and 'msp2' on Row group.
Query: select mi.*, SUBSTR(SM.USP2DS,6,9)AS DESC from (SELECT a.mcu , a.msp2, SUM(a.mcst) AS Cost   FROM PRD.MI as A                   WHERE a.myr=2015 and a.mpr=7           GROUP BY a.MCU, a.msp2                order by a.mcu, a.msp2 ) mi,            (SELECT  DISTINCT U_SP2, USP2DS FROM UM.SM) SM WHERE A.MSP2=SM.USP2  ORDER BY MCU,msp2
I have tried the below post, but I am not able achieve my output. [URL] ....
I have a dataset with weekly salary of multiple employees of same grade from different dpt. We are not going to show the report based on employ. The report will be showing data based on Employee grade and their department.
Grade        Dpt       wk1         wk2         wk3       wk4 manager    hr         3000         2500        1000      2000 senior         hr          1300         1500        1300      1600 manager    hr          2500         2300        2100       3000
We need to show the result by grouping grade and dpt. So the Wk1 rate will be the sum of (3000+2500).
Grade       Dpt        wk1           wk2        wk3      wk4     Total manager   hr           5500        4800        3100       5000      18400 (how to find???) senior       hr           1300         1500        1300      1600      5700(??) Total                       6800         6300       4400       6600      24100(??)
How to find the total for each row on the right most end ?
We mark cells in  a report using color names like red, pink, and transparent in the fill expression. In the browser it works correctly. When exported to Excel the colors go to the wrong cells. This worked correctly in SSRS 2008.Â
I am creating matrix report with grouping on WEEK and Fiscalyearweek,I need to calculate of difference between FY14W01,FY15W01 ande  percentage of those..how to calculate in ssrs level.
I got the following code to add a column in a matrix with a variance:
IIF(IsNothing(Previous(Sum(Fields!Amount.Value))) or Fields!year.Value=First(Fields!year.Value,"Category") or Previous(Sum(Fields!Amount.Value))=0,nothing, ( (Fields!Amount.Value) /Previous(sum(Fields!Amount.Value)) ) )
This code works fine, except that the first row of the matrix shows an #error
This happens with each matrix where I use this expression. A warning emerges:
rsruntimeerrorinexpression the value expression for the textrun Textbox43.Paragraphs[0].TextRuns[0]' contains an error.
Attempted to divide by zero.
The strange thing is that the part
Fields!year.Value=First(Fields!year.Value,"Category") should prevent an error and I expect it to show 'nothing'
An screenshot of the table. (each color is a different category. Each row stands for 2013, 2014, 2015)
As you can see, all other 2013 rows show a blank cell, except the first row.
I have a simple query which has a parameter 'between @Start and @Finish' My user within the SQL management studio is set to British English. My report language properties are set to English (United Kingdom)
If I set the parameter to data type string and use start and finish of 31/12/2007, 30/12/2008 the report works fine. If I change the data type of the parameter to Datetime (to use the calander pickers) the date values are no longer valid.
Where else should I be looking for regional settings? Or is there another reason for this?
Hi All, I am placing a Matrix inside the table control for grouping requirements,but when we export the report to the Excel, the contents inside the table cell are ignored. Is there any way to get the full report exported, as per the Requirement.Please help me with this issue.
Code Block SELECT NON EMPTY { [Measures].[NC_ValorCarteira], [Measures].[CM_EBIT] } ON COLUMNS, NON EMPTY { ( [DimTime].[Hierarquia].[Dias].ALLMEMBERS * [DimStructure].[Entidade_ID].[Entidade_ID].ALLMEMBERS * [DimStructure].[Carteira_ID].[Carteira_ID].ALLMEMBERS * [InstrumentoTipo].[InstArea].[InstArea].ALLMEMBERS * [InstrumentoTipo].[InstTipo].[InstTipo].ALLMEMBERS ) } DIMENSION PROPERTIES MEMBER_CAPTION, MEMBER_UNIQUE_NAME ON ROWS FROM ( SELECT ( { [DimTime].[Dia].&[8878],[DimTime].[Dia].&[9092] } ) ON COLUMNS FROM ( SELECT ( { [DimStructure].[Carteira_ID].&[LIS_CPR] } ) ON COLUMNS FROM ( SELECT ( { [DimStructure].[Entidade_ID].&[LIS] } ) ON COLUMNS FROM [cbRentabilidade]))) WHERE ( [DimTime].[Dia].CurrentMember ) CELL PROPERTIES VALUE, BACK_COLOR, FORE_COLOR, FORMATTED_VALUE, FORMAT_STRING, FONT_NAME, FONT_SIZE, FONT_FLAGS
I have 2 dates as input. The main date and reference date (Last date of previous year) of the main date. At the moment I manually insert the values for main date and reference date, but I only one to select the main date and automatically insert in the first column of the matrix report the reference date.
Adding more columns in a matrix report that don€™t belong to the columns drilldown dimensions€¦
That is, for example, having the following report:
Product Family
Product
Country City Number of units sold
Then I would add some ratios, that is, Units Sold/Months (sold per month) and other that is the average for Product Family (Units Sold/Number of Product Family), for putting an example€¦ some columns should be precalculated prior to the report so do not get into it, the real problem I don€™t see how to solve is adding one or two columns for showing these calculated column that doesn€™t depend on the column groups but they do for the rows groups€¦
Any guidance on that?
The only way I am seeing by now is to set it as two different reports, and that is not what my client wants€¦
I have a simple matrix. The row group is schoolname. The column group is tweek. and the data field is thours (sum(thours)). on the right side of my matrix, I want to display the Average hours for all the week columns. SSRS can do a sum very simply, but when I use the avg function, I get erroneous results. Do I somehow use the inscope function in the data field ?? I just don't know. and I don't understand how to use the inscope function.
I have a matrix with six rows and the column is dynamic depending on if any data exists for any row item in a month/year. All rows are summations of data for the particular month. I have a row group that when toggled to visible expands all the rows. Is there a way to restrict the row group to only expand the data in a specific row?
Just wondering when is it preferred to use Matrix control as opposed to a table? Also, on a related note, can a table control be used for displaying information from one data set or could information coming from multiple data sets be bound to a single table in such a way that there could be logically different sections within the same table?
When we browse the cube in management studio we are able to see the correct aggregates where as in the report from reporting services we are just getting the sums instead of running aggregates especially in the intersection cells of columns and rows. ( where ever the aggregrate function is difference/division. )
Is there a setting in reporting services which would make the report return the running aggregates like in the management studio.
Is there any way to get multiple subtotals in a matrix? For example, one that does a count and the 2nd that does an averages as per the desired result below ...
Code Block
A B C A 1 2 3 B 2 3 4 C 3 4 5 Total 6 9 12 Avg 2 3 4
Now, I know this has to be REALLY easy but I can't seem to figure this out...I'm new to SSRS and my book order proably just came in today at home. I have a matrix with one header level and one row level. Basically the report is an Aging of dollars across time (columns) and financial class (rows). Nothing fancy here.
I've clicked on the header for the row and selected 'subtotal' which adds a 'Total' row and done the same for the column header which adds a Total for the column. But when I run the report the subtotals only include the first entry in each row (row subtotal) or column (column subtotal). Why won't it add all of the cells together?
The issue is that the second group's subtotal label doesn't display the correct name, as in the example. It's always "Rm 34A" or whichever room is returned first in the dataset, even if the subtotal is actually for Rm 35. The labels for the first group display correctly, and the issue is only a label problem - the subtotal data seems to be fine. For the subtotal label, we have =Fields!Subgroup.Value + " Total" as the expression. Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks,
I am new to matrixes and I have created a dataset which I would like to populate into an expanding / collapsing matrix.
The purpose of the report is to show a list of pallets and their respective stock adjustments. I have laid the matrix out as follows...
I have spent the entire afternoon playing around with this and searching Google, but as yet, I have been unable to get the matrix to display more than 1 record per pallet. Each of the pallets below have multiple adjustment records, yet the report will only display the first one...  If I assign the dataset to a table, it displays as expected.
I am creating a matrix in which row color changes alternately(1st row white second row blue and so on .) now i am calling this matrix as a sub report in other report and i had applied grouping on that row in which this MATRIX is called the problem i am facing is in first sub report 1st row is coming in white color while in second sub report 1st row is coming as blue color background  And so on...
Why so is happening as i want 1st row as white and second row as blue i all sub reports .
I'm running SSRS 2005 (9.00.3027.00) in Sharepoint integrated mode on a Win2003 SP1 box. This works fine for most reports, including matrix reports sourcing data from SSAS 2005.
However, I have a couple of large matrix reports (7 columns per group, 12 column groups, 150 rows, 1 row per group, data from SSAS) that run fine when I run them in VS2005, but as soon as I try and run them from within Sharepoint/Report Server I get "An unexpected error has occurred.". Sometimes this happens after 60 seconds, sometimes more (up to 3 minutes)
If I filter them down to 7 column groups they work perfectly (altbeit slowly,1-2 mins), 8 groups works sometimes, 9 never works. I've checked that the report execution timeout is set to 10 minutes.
The SSRS log shows the errors as WrapperReportRenderingException and JobCanceledException. I'm not sure whether the the rendering error causes the cancelled error or vice versa. does anyone know what I can do about this?
By the way, from looking at the CPU usage of the server, it seems as though SSRS does carry on rendering the report long after Sharepoint has given up and returned with the helpful error.
Many thanks in advance
Alex

I am using SSRS 2014. I'm using a matrix instead of a tablix because it allows me to have dynamic columns. In the example I'm showing, two of the columns use the sum function to get the total counts per practice. The third column contains percentages so I averaged for the total but the value is inaccurate compared to the value I would get if the divided the the two totals that are sums of the counts. Is there a way for me to specify that I want to divide the total counts numerator divided by the total counts denominator?
Here's an example report output with the percentage column averaged (inaccurate):
PCP       numerator denominator percentage John Smith  66       104 63.46 Tom Jones   4         36   11.11 . . . Jane Doe    1   1     100 Total 708      1005     72.3
So the 72.3 value is from Avg(metricvalue)
I would like to do this instead: % total = 708/1005, which equals 70.5 - a significant difference.
The metricvalue column is what is the value for every number above (Because it's a matrix).
I am trying to create a matrix report to work similar to a pivot table, where when a user clicks on the count, the details are displayed. When I add the action to open a sub-report, how do I pass in the parameter values for the group that was selected? meaning if in row group- I have company name, and column group I have job title, when the count gets clicked, i need to pass in the company name for the row that was clicked along with the column group. How can I proceed?
I encounter a bug while exporting to excel a matrix. one cell is shifted to right and so i have wrong numbers and empty cell in the middle of the matrix.
instead of :
ABS Recent College Graduate (C)
Male (M) Total Female (F) Male (M) Total
Headcount Headcount Row % Headcount Col % Headcount Headcount Row % Headcount Col % Headcount Headcount Row % Headcount Col % Headcount Headcount Row % Headcount Col % Headcount Headcount Row % Headcount Col %
232 34 54 56 56 5 24 56 56 56 34 23 43 54 56
I get:
ABS Recent College Graduate (C)
Male (M) Total Female (F) Male (M) Total
Headcount Headcount Row % Headcount Col % Headcount Headcount Row % Headcount Col %
Headcount Headcount Row % Headcount Col % Headcount Headcount Row % Headcount Col % Headcount Headcount Row %
232 34 54 56 56 5 24 56 56 56 34 23 43 54 56
does anyone familiar with a solution to this issue? Thanks. Yuval.
I have got this matrix and I am trying to calculate the average amount of working days in a month. At the moment, I have divided the total number of jobs by 21 for every month which is a hard coded value. However, I am not sure how to retrieve this value dynamically. Is there any formula that can find out the working days?
I developed a matrix SSRS report for a specific scenario, and the results look something like the example below. The result set is grouped by the date value, so for all records on that date in the first column I have just one value - 2/5/2007. The client would like to see a value for each cell in every row in the date column, so they can sort the results and do other manipulation in Excel. I tried to make it happen but I doesnt seem to work using the matrix. I would really appreciate if anyone has any suggestions on how to make it work. btw, it really has to be a matrix report :)
