I have a cross tab report in Crystal 2008 (ver 12). First column has a name and second as a phone number.
If there are two individuals with the same name, the report seems to combine the two cells and only show the name once (its like two rows have been merged into one such as in Excel). Both numbers however are shown correctly in two separate rows.
How can I show the name twice and not have it merged or group together?
[]
Your Cross Tab works fine because it's the same name (and cross tab put's it in one group row/column). To separate it, you have to make your column/row by some id_column of that person, but display name instead of that id_column.
For example you put your field in row/columns (id of person, not name),
and then press Group Options and set the name to be displayed
And that should do it.
Hope it helps

I am trying to create a report in Jasper Studio which will create a separate table for each city.
Right now, what I have created is something that looks like below. It shows all the data with the City listed as St. Louis. What features in Jasper will allow me to do as above?
Finally figured this out.
Create a group band for your report in Jasper. (Right click report Outline-> Create Group)
Next you have two options - create group from a report object or create group from expression. I used the first option and selected City from the list of group objects displayed. Click Next.
Selected the checkbox Add the group header and click finish.
The other change I did was - Previously my headers were under column header, I moved them under the new band group header. Now it works exactly like how I wanted.
I'm trying to display multiple values for one drive by adding a column for each additional record assigned to a drive. For example, a drive ID is unique but can have multiple promotional incentives assigned to it.
For example, if we go to a university on 1/23/2015, that will a unique event or record in the DriveMaster table, but if we are giving away T-Shirts and Pizza, those two records will be assigned to the drive in the EquipmentDetail table.
In SSRS, I'm trying to create a sub-report that will display the promotional items on one line instead of adding additional lines for each promotional item. See screenshot below.
What I'd like to have happen is have the each drive only account for 1 row, and each promotional item listed in a new column to the right. See mockup in Excel.
Is there a way to handle this? I know there is in Crytal Reports, but I can't figure this out in SSRS. I've tried using a Matrix, but I can't see to get the columns to grow if there are multiple incentives.
I added a column group on the Description field, and it looks like that it is close, but that the grouping will create blank spaces (cells) in it.
Thanks,
You have to set a Column Group for your promotional item in your Matrix.
Hope that helps.
Edit:
It looks like there are some areas that contain no data (because of your groupings)
We can do something like the following:
In your query you can use the 'over'
Select DriveID, PromotionItem, ... ,
ROW_NUMBER() Over(Partition by Select DriveID, PromotionItem, ... Order by PromotionItem)
AS ColumnGroupNumber
Then in the Promotion Item group that you have change the field it groups on to the ColumnGroupNumber (or whatever you are going to call it). Just don't change the field in the detail row, or you will not see the details.
I have used this solution before. I found it here.
I am using iReport 4.1.3. I have created invoice report and I want to have 3 copies of same invoice report. The first invoice should have label as "ORIGINAL", second should have "DUPLICATE" and the third should have label as "TRIPLICATE" on it.
Thank you.
If you would like to show all three copies every time you open the report, here is a creative if not elegant solution.
Add a cross join to the FROM clause of your query returning the three different copies. In MySQL it looks like this:
CROSS JOIN
(
Select 'ORIGINAL' as copy, 1 as sequence
UNION
SELECT 'DUPLICATE' as copy, 2 as sequence
UNION
SELECT 'TRIPLICATE' as copy, 3 as sequence
) x
Then add the "copy" field to your select statement. This will cause your query to return 3 records for each record it was previously returning. One record with "ORIGINAL" in the copy field, one with "DUPLICATE" and one with "TRIPLICATE". Add "sequence" to your ORDER BY clause.
Then in the report, group by the "copy" field. Force a new page for each group and you should be all set. Any variables you are totaling at the report level you will need to change to the group level ("copy" group). And if you have any controls in the Summary section, move them to the new group footer section. Also create a text field to display the "copy" field in the page or group header.
It's not necessarily pretty, but it should work.
Is there a way that I can order the columns in a cross tab based on an list of Strings?
The items in the data do not contain any columns other than the columns listed in the String list. [ArrayList].
This array list is passed into the report as a parameter.
I had to append the order number to the title of the cross tab. [The data was not coming in exactly how the cross tab wanted to display it, so I couldn't claim the data was presorted]
Is it possible to have add a row to an SSRS 2008 Matrix that spans all of the matrix's columns?
This crude diagram shows roughly what I'm looking for:
The basic idea is that each line item is a person, and each column is a field in a form for that person. The fields themselves are dynamic (and implemented as column groups on the matrix). Additional column groups are included to append non-dynamic form fields, like the time the record was entered and who entered it. Under each person's record is a comments field, which should span all of the form fields above it.
At the moment I have the matrix embedded in another tablix, with the name and fields in the matrix and the comments in the parent tablix. This works for the data (each instance of the matrix ends up being one row), but the header repeats too often (once per person) because it's attached to the matrix. The only thought I have as to how to fix this is to create another matrix in the parent tablix with the same grouping and use it to display the headers... But this will require quite a lot of manual synchronization to keep the two matrices the same.
Edit: The key problem here is making the second row span multiple column groups.
Here's what you can do:
Select the column grouping you want to add above and right click and select
Add Group... Parent Group...
Group the column by something that will not aggregate the data. You'll have to select a field from your dataset to group by so that it creates an overlapping column grouping.
Check the Add group header box
You should now see something similar to this:
Now you just need to move the Value1 field and it's header over under the new column to the right beyond the matrix dividers. Once that's done, simply delete the ungrouped column where you just copied Value1 from and be sure to select Delete columns only checkbox.
Your finished product should look like this:
It is possible - And the above answers are partial answers leaving out one key step: Merging the cells of the child row.
First, right click on your grouped row, then select Insert Row -> Inside Group - Below and you will get two rows with the cells aligning on the columns
Second, ctrl click all the cells in your new row (ie row without the data) then right click on one of the highlighted cells, and then select Merge Cells.
Now you have the table you like. To add a value to the new row: first right click your new (multi column) cell,select Create Placeholder, and then add the dataset item you desire to the placeholder.
[Edit]
After several attempts, I'm going to say this isn't possible in SSRS. The best I could come up with is a group footer that spans columns 1,2, and 3, but not the User column.
[Original Response]
I recently did something similar to this.
First, what tool are you using to create SSRS reports? (I used SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio)
You'll want to create a row group (grouped on Person)
Append a row to your table in "Design" view (Right click, "Insert Row --> Inside Group - Below").
Add an expression to the row that pulls the value for your "Comment" column (=Fields!Comment.Value).
Let me know if that helps...
Try adding in you column group "header" with a grouping expression of (1=1). Then a detail field will need to be defined. If you define the other group with correct data then the "header" will stretch across all details columns. You may need to merger depending on other options.
The easiest way to do this is to create a Tablix with only one column, and your row grouping.
Then, you create two rows inside this group.
In the first row inside the group, you insert a Matrix, wich you can then subgroup as you prefer.
I just had a similar problem, and this was my solution.
I banged my head against the wall for a lot of time, until i realized the solution to my problem wasn't "making a cell span multiple column groups", but "making a cell split into multiple column groups".
You can accomplish the goal by using a subreport for each person. The subreport will receive the employee id and create the hierarchy for you. Make sure your subreport column widths match the widths of the parent report.
