I have a tableau report where my Row a dimension of CallMonth (Jan, Feb..) and Aggregated Survey count, but when I put the fields in the data row section the CallMonth and Surveys are combined in one column. How do I split the two fields in two separate columns?
You seems to change the Table Layout. See what happens if you drop any one feature (other than these two) from 'Row' section?
Look for Analysis -> Table Layout -> Advanced in your version of Tableau Desktop. There you need to increase "Maximum levels of row labels" and "Maximum levels of horizontal row labels" to 16 or so. Now first two columns won't get merged. Hope this helps!
Don't forget to let us know if it answered your query :)
how can I achieve below layout using a crosstab? Month in the top of the columns and columns below with their own names.
thanks
In the Cross-Tab Expert you can create groupings like this by just adding more columns (The outer-most groupings are those higher in the Column list). In your case, the first column of your Cross-Tab should be your record date with the option selected to print for each Month. Then just add the rest of your columns to your Cross-Tab as usual.
I have created the crosstab, added a formula that shows me the month name as column and the other fields as summarized fields. Then on crosstab expert -> Customized Style tab, under columns section I selected my grand totals, checked show labels and Horizontal and was able to get the desired layout. Thanks #Ryan
Now it is a report with a tablix in which the records are like every row has some details rows under it. and the details row can have one or more records based on the main tablix rows
To elucidate the problem, plz have a look
Did some search here and there, but not able to figure out how to accomplish this.
Sub-reports inside the tablix cell, but how will it keep the track of the current row
One thing more : Do I need to create two separate datasets for this and bind accordingly or write query as a single dataset and do some grouping ?
any ideas !
P.S: SSRS r2 environment, native mode reports for web application
You can achieve this with one Dataset and one Tablix.
The Dataset will have all the columns in the report, with multiple rows for each BIL value.
The Tablix will have four rows and one group based on BIL.
The first row will be the Tablix header row, with the main column header details.
The next two rows will be group header rows. The first row will contain the group details, BIL, No Bayar, etc. The second row will contain the detail row header details.
The last row will be the detail row which will contain the COL1 and COL2 detail values.
You will see something like this (you'll need to fill in the TextBox details as appropriate):
create report with subreport will solve your problem
you can create one report with one dataset with (BIL NoB NoW Est TotalXYZ) columns.
Now link that subreport with the BIL
Now link subreport with main report the BIL (FK)
Hope this help
I have a cross-tab report which similar to this
Problem is when there are no data to one month that column won't appear in the report. I would like to keep the same number of column even there are empty values for the row data.
Is it possible to achieve in cross-tab reports??
Thanks
This is a problem more with the underlying dataset. You have two options:
Modify your query to always return data even for "empty" groups
Hardcode the columns into the cross-tab
Option 1 is probably the best approach. Take a look at this similar question: Handling non existent values in sql query expression for ssrs chart
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.

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.
