expression to hide tablix based on condition - ssrs-2008

We need to hide tablix in ssrs report based on boolean value from dataset, currently when we use below expression it picks only first record value which is incorrect.
expression :
=IIF(First(Fields!DisplayRecommendations.Value, "Comments") ="True", false, true)
is there any way we could use where condition and get the correct value ?

I was trying to use hidden property of a tablix rather we need to use textbox hidden propery inside tablix.

If your dataset returns multiple rows you can summarize it in one at SQL Query level.
select count(*) as Display from Comments
where DisplayRecommendation = 'False'
Then in the textbox hidden property check if the dataset result was greater than 1
=Iif(First(Fields!Display.Value, "Comments") > 0,True,False)
Note Comments dataset will return one value.
Let me know if this was helpful.

Show all parameter values

My parameter field allows multiple values. How can I show all of these values at the top of the report? Currently it only shows one value at a time.
If your parameter is dynamic and takes the form of an array, you'll need to join the values together via a Formula:
Join ({?Parameter},", ")
Activate the Can Grow property for that field. Put this field in a new section so it can easily grow based on your content.

SSRS Chart Hiding one group if it has 0 value

I have one pie chart that has 4 types. I want to hide the display of the particular group if the total aggregate is 0. . Based on my chart, Could anyone please help me how to change the filter condition not to show paid group if it has 0. TIA
You can filter by TOTAL in the Category Group properties of the chart.
This is the only place in a chart where you can filter by an aggregate (SUM or COUNT).
Agree with Renu's approach (as in comments), just to elaborate, in order to suppress zero values (in data cells) use the IIF() function to return appropriate, i.e. right click the Data-Cell -> select Expression and enter something similar to the following expression::
=IIF( Sum(Fields!columName.Value)=0, Nothing, Count(Fields!columName.Value) )
In case where you need to return a Boolean value (True/False), then use something similar to below:
=IIF(Count(Fields!columName.Value)=0, False, True)

Display Report Contents Where Column A Equal B in SSRS

From the image above, I want viewers of my SSRS report to see data where PaymentFound column is equal to 'N' without limiting it in my T-Sql query and without hiding any column in my report.
How do I achieve this in SSRS?
I am assuming you want to hide the rows for which the PaymentFound value is Y.
There are 2 ways to do that,
1) Add filter on dataset so it will filter the values out with PaymentFound= Y
You can add filter as,
Dataset->RightClick-> DatasetProperties->Filter->Add-> then
Expression : PaymentFound
Operator: =
Value: 'N'
2) Right click on row set the expression for the visibility as
= IIF(Fields!PaymentFound.Value = "Y",True,False)

Hiding (or Displaying) Rows in SSRS Based off a Field Value

I'd like to only display certain rows on my report using SSRS if the field value of EMID=3 or EMID=Null. Or if it would be easier, to hide rows where EMID in (1,2)
I right + clicked the row -> Row Visibility -> Show or Hide Based on an Expression and created this expression:
=IIF(Fields!EMID.Value=1 Or Fields!EMID.Value=2,True,False)
But that does not hide the rows I am looking to hide. Any suggestions on what I did wrong?
Thanks,
Most of the times issue with the SSRS value matching expressions are the data types of the values that creates the problems or undesired result.
In your case your EMID field might be coming as the string so you need to make sure that it is convert back to the Int before matching. For that matter always right your expressions in SSRS using type conversion so your expression can be on safer side.
=IIF(CInt(Fields!EMID.Value)=1 Or CInt(Fields!EMID.Value)= 2,True,False)

SSRS no data in report

I have a single tablix on the SSRS report which fetches data from a stored procedure.
I am trying to show a meesage to the User when no data is present say, "** There is no data for this report*". I can do this easily by specifying this message in the **NoRowsMessage property of the tablix. But I want to show the headers of the tablix along with this message.
If I don't set the NoRowsMessage property, I get the headers but no message, but if I do, I get the message but no headers.
I need some help with this.
Note: I am using SSRS 2008.
Edit:
I can also put up a textbox with the relevant text message below the tablix and set it visible only if the tablix contains no rows. But I am not able to figure out as to how do I find out from the Visibility expression of the textbox whether the tablix contains any rows or not.
A tablix object is related to the underlying dataset, so if there's no data, there's no table in the output.
Other than using the NowRowsMessage property, the only other way I can think of to enforce this would be to ensure your query returns an empty value placeholder when there are now rows returned. This way you would have, in essence, a single data row.
You could then try and add a conditional expression on the table (i.e. on the Visibility property of the details row) to prevent any rows containing your placeholder from showing up.
So in your query you could have:
IF (##ROWCOUNT= 0)
BEGIN
SELECT
'[IAMEMPTY]' as [Col1]
,'[IAMEMPTY]' as [Col2]
,'[IAMEMPTY]' as [Col3]
END
And then in the Visibility property of your table's detail row:
=Iif(Fields!Col1.Value = "[IAMEMPTY]",True,False)
EDIT: Alternatively, to check if the DataSet is empty in SSRS and show a rectangle containing your message/headers (as mentioned in TooSik's comment), you could set up a rectangle with this in the Visibility expression:
=Iif(Rownumber("Dataset_Name")=0, False,True)
