I've created a table from a procedure that will display a summary of all incentives from a given collection operation or recruiter in my report. But if the collection operation or recruiter has multiple incentives assigned to their drives during the time period, it will repeat the same collection operation or recruiter on each line. If possible, I'd like to only display the first time it occurs and then leave a blank space until it hits a new collection operation/recruiter.
See screenshot for example:
Is there a way to create an expression to handle this? Thanks,
The answer is Groupings. If you add a row grouping on your "Collection Operation" column it should do a trick. To add a group Right click on your details row. just like you would to add a row. There should be an option to add a parent group. Select that and tell it you want to group on "Collection Operation" and click "Ok". You may have to adjust your formatting a little, but I think this will achieve what you are going for.
I just noticed the recruiter Column. To make that only display once you will need to use an expression. Now that you have a loop you should be able to write an expression that determines your position within the group and blank it out when it isn't the first row.

My report handles several Members based on a 4-column Members table.
For some reason, each Member is being repeated on the report for every record in the table. How can I configure this such that every member has a separate set of records?
In other words, repeating should consider "MeberName + Test" as one single unit.
Add a Group section based on your Member field. Then right click on that Group and select Section Expert. Check the New Page Before option to configure the behavior you asked for.

I'm using Tableau. So, instead of giving the [Column_name], Is it possible to give [Column_number] in column shelf?

No -- for good reason.
Think of the data source as a template for a potential SQL (or MDX or TQL) query; specifying tables, joins, unions and possibly some where/having clauses for data source filters.
The actual SQL generated for any particular view will be an (optimized) query that only selects columns that are actually needed for that particular view, adds where/having clauses based on the filters being used etc.
So a column doesn't have a fixed number. The same column may be the first field selected in one situation, the last field in another situation, and left off completely in another.
If you want to change the name of column shelf:
Create a duplicate of variable and change original with duplicates and assign name as your wish by right-click on Edit Aliases and change as per your requirement.
Go to Data Source
On the middle right corner check on Show aliases
Go to column and right click on it. Go to Rename
I group my table by 3 attributes, and set page break on every group, and now i want to display that three attribute outside the table. I want to place them on the top of the report, and when i type the expression and i go in run view it's display only the first value, when i go to the next page nothing change
I tried to drag field from table, from data set, and nothing working.
In expression i type
=Fields!My_Field.Value.
Also if some of that three attributes i placed in table it normally displays values, but when i try to move it somewhere it stops displaying.
The issue is that a table is associated with a dataset but a text box is not.
You can reference a field from a text box using the Dataset field ( =Sum(Fields!AMOUNT.Value, "Dataset1") ) but you need to use an aggregate function like First, Last, or SUM.
It sounds like you don't want to use an aggregate since you are grouping by these fields, though.
display the three attribute outside the table
If your trying to display the current grouping in the table at the top of each page, add a new Row in your matrix above your header row and add your group fields there.
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.
Duplicated data is coming in my report because source table has duplicate data. Without creating group, I want to hide duplicate data writing expression. So what I did: I select table row and put a expression for hidden property of table row.
The expression was like =(Previous(Fields!ID.Value) = Fields!ID.Value)
but it did not work ... Still duplicate data is showing. So tell me how to suppress duplicate rows in ssrs writing expression not by grouping.
You probably should try these options first:
Try to clean the duplicate data at the source.
Change your source query so the duplicates don't appear in the dataset. (e.g. SELECT DISTINCT)
If not, on the row's Visibility Hidden property you can use the Previous function:
=iif(Fields!YourField.Value = Previous(Fields!YourField.Value), True, False)
You would have to sort on the YourField column for it to work.
I was putting the expression above also until I started using the "Hide Duplicates" line in the properties pane. You basically just select the row, in the dropdown choose your Dataset and that's it. any duplicates will be hidden. Also if you just want to hide certain textboxes duplicates you can do the same as i stated earlier except click on the textbox and not the row. Just another alternative, i'm aware you said using an expression.
You can do it using expression or "Hide Duplicates" options from cell or row properties.
Expressions :
=IIF(Fields!YourField.Value = Previous(Fields!YourField.Value), True, False)
Hide Duplicates Steps:
Select row or cell
Click on F4 key on your Keyboard
Look for "Hide Duplicates"
Choose your DataSet from the dropdownlist
Done, I hope that helps
As an alternative option, you can do it by setting row groups. In a report I was trying to create, the Hide Duplicates property wouldn't behave correctly because of using the same dataset multiple times in a list container.
All you need to do is set the row group properties for the default row group (rightclick the grey row header, and go to Row Group then Group Properties), and add Group expressions on the General tab. Add as many as you need for each field. It's like the Remove Duplicates tool in Microsoft Excel
Sometimes the Hide Duplicates option does apply to the report content. If you add a =Sum(Field!Field_Name.Value) sum around field in the cell, it suppresses the copy from previous record. Of course, strictly speaking this is a solution where the incoming data set has NULL rows for the cells with the issue.
Since the using of Previous function in SSRS compare to the only record previous to it, thus it might cause the duplicate of records still shown if the repeated records not next to each other.
Use the sorting on each table you apply the Previous function, it should resolve the "non next to each other" duplicate records as well.
