Get 2nd Value in Dataset in Reporting Services - ssrs-2008

This seems to be a very simple question, but I am trying to get the 2nd value in a dataset to display as a matrix's header value.
In this report, lets say that I have 2 datasets. In Dataset1, I have a query that pulls down 3 values for a parameter dropdown selection. In Dataset2, I return a result set and have bound it to my matrix.
Within the matrix, I have my repeating columns, and then 3 additional grouped columns to the right that have aggrigate values that I want to display. On the header of those 3 columns, I want to display the 3 values displayed in my Parameters dataset. Within the context of the matrix (and its dataset), I can get the first and last values of a different dataset (Dataset1 in this case) by using:
=First(Fields!DateDisplay.Value, "Dataset1")
=Last(Fields!DateDisplay.Value, "Dataset1")
I need to get something like:
=Second(Fields!DateDisplay.Value, "Dataset1")
How do I pull this off without violating the scoping rules on aggregate columns?

For SSRS 2008 R2, you can do this if each row of your dataset has an identifier column by using the LookUp() function.
=LookUp(1,Fields!Row.Value,Fields!DateDisplay.Value,”Dataset1”)
=LookUp(2,Fields!Row.Value,Fields!DateDisplay.Value,”Dataset1”)
=LookUp(3,Fields!Row.Value,Fields!DateDisplay.Value,”Dataset1”)
If you do not have an identifier column you can use ROW_NUMBER() to build one in.
Query:
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY DateDisplay) AS Row, DateDisplay
FROM Dates
Results:
Row DateDisplay
--- ---------
1 June 1st
2 March 12th
3 November 15th
Here is a link to a similar thread in MSDN Forums: Nth row element in a dataset SSRS

If you are using SSRS-2012 or 2014 then one has to use below expression.
=LookUp(AnyRowNumber, Fields!RowNumber.Value,Fields!DisplayField.Value,”DatasetName”)
I have tried above it was not working in my case.

reduce function not working in derived column in adf mapping data flow

I am trying to create the derived column based on the condition that met the value and trying to do the summation of multiple matching column values dynamically. So I am using reduce function in ADF derived column mapping data flow. But the column is not getting created even the transformation is correct.
Columns from source
Derived column logic
Derived column data preview without the new columns as per logic
I could see only the fields from source but not the derived column fields. If I use only the array($$) I could see the fields getting created.
Derived column data preview with logic only array($$)
How to get the derived column with the summation of all the fields matching the condition?
We are getting data of 48 weeks forecast and the data to be prepared on monthly basis.
eg: Input data
Output data:
JAN
----
506 -- This is for first record i.e. (94 + 105 + 109 + 103 + 95)
The problem is that the array($$) in the reduce function has only one element, so that the reduce function can not accumulate the content of the matching columns correctly.
You can solve this by using two derived columns and a data flow parameter as follows:
Create derived columns with pattern matching for each month-week you did it before, but put the reference $$ into the value field, instead of the reduce(...) function.
This will create derived columns like jan0, jan1, etc. containing the copy of the original values. For example Week 0 (1 Jan - 7 Jan) => 0jan with value 95.
This step gives you a predefined set of column names for each week, which you can use to summarize the values with specific column names.
Define Data Flow parameters for each month containing the month-week column names in a string array, like this:
ColNamesJan=['0jan' ,'1jan', etc.] ColNamesFeb=['0feb' ,'1feb', etc.] and so on.
You will use these column names in a reduce function to summarize the month-week columns to monthly column in the next step.
Create a derived column for each month, which will contain the monthly totals, and use the following reduce function to sum the weekly values:
reduce(array(byNames($ColNamesJan)), 0, #acc + toInteger(toString(#item)),#result)
Replace the parameter name accordingly.
I was able to summarize the columns dynamically with the above solution.
Please let me know if you need more information (e.g. screenshots) to reproduce the solution.
Update -- Here are the screenshots from my test environment.

Column Grouping Does Not display Duplicates

I have created a report in SSRS R2. The report is using tablix and column wise grouping.
The result set of the matrix is working fine as expected except that the consecutive same column values(or duplicates) are not getting skipped in display. Whereas my SQL is working perfectly displaying all data.
eg: sql Result set
1
1
2
3
Tablix Display (instead of) Tablix Display
1 2 3 (instead of ) 1 1 2 3
If you are grouping on the field that returns that data, then it removes duplicates by design - that's the point of grouping.
You would need to group by a different field, or just have no grouping on the tablix and only the Details region.
See here for more information on grouping: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/reporting-services/report-design/understanding-groups-report-builder-and-ssrs

How to change the value of heading columns based on a parameter

I created a report where I want to show the heading of a column based on a parameter. I tried using both table and matrix format, but I'm unable to reduce year.
year=2013
For example if I choose 2013 in the report this means it will show the last 10 years in the repor, i.e. 2013,2012,2011,2010,2009,2008, up until 2002.
If I understand your question correctly you want to query a database and display the results in a table with a column per year. You can do this by using by using a Matrix object and Column Groups
Add your Matrix object by drag and dropping. Select the Column Group | Group Properties and add a Group Expression.
Use the following code as your Group Expression.
=Year(Fields!Date.Value)
Two fold I'd think:
Alter your sql to accept the parameter and get the bast 10 years in column names 1, 2, etc.
Then use an expression in the header or title similar to =#Parameter!par.Value - Cdec(Data!1.Value) to show headers for 2013 to 2002.
I hope I was clear?

I need to know if it is possible to create a SSRS report as defined

I have a query with 3 parameters that a user should be able to define:
AND (ORION_SCHED.TRIP.DATE_TIME = '09/11/2012')
AND (ORION.CUST.COUNTRY = 'BE')
AND (ORION_SCHED.TRIP.ID_SHIFT ='1')
DATE_TIME should be a datepicker
COUNTRY dropdown with defined values
ID_SHIFT dropdown with defined values
I guess this isn't an issue?
The result of this query will return the dataset
My actual question: I want the result to be presented in this way
So always 3 blocks of data next to each other, the data of every block is the result of the query filtered down on the column TRUCK_ID (a sub-select of the returned dataset)
The empty cells per block are a nice to have, these are non-unique values per TRUCK_ID that I don't wish to be repeated on every line, but like I said a nice to have.
I would add a new column to the query that returned 1,2 or 3 (for each different TRUCK_ID. Then I would use 3 Tablix (one per column on your report) and filter the data by the new column you added on the query.
Then you just group on the TruckID on each tablix and play around with the format. It should work.

Aggregate not populating chart correctly in SSRS

Below, I've attached a sample of my data as well as a sample of the chart output. I want to aggregate the data and include one row with this number; however, SSRS is just showing multiple of the same value.
In the example below, you'll notice there are 8 rows in Unit 1 and 8 rows in Unit 2, a
total of 13. How can I get Unit 1 to have one row which shows 8 and one row in Unit 2 to show 5? Currently, the expression is =COUNT(Fields!SubID.Value, "DataSet1").
I've also tried adding in a column full of the number 1 which I could use to Sum on, but that produced the same results.
Originally I was doing this all in SQL; that is, producing the exact output I want in SQL and then charting in SSRS. However, this is no longer a viable solution as the end user would like to be able to drill down into the details of the report. I do imagine, if there is no easy way to do this (which I feel like there has to be), that I could write two queries, having one show the report and the other show the details.
Thanks.
The second parameter of your count expression is the problem.
Don't use this:
=COUNT(Fields!SubID.Value, "DataSet1")
Try something like this instead:
=COUNT(Fields!SubID.Value, "UnitGroupName")
The group name should match what is shown in BIDS as the name you've given the grouping, such as under Row Groups.
