Lesson 55: Creata a SSRS report for dynamically changing columns.

How to create a SSRS report for dynamically changing columns.


  • Usually we create a SSRS report using certain fields of an object such as table/view and when there is a change in the structure of that view the report displays empty data.
  • So here we are trying to show the columns and data dynamically using a stored procedure created as below
  • Next we use the procedure created above as query type in the dataset.
  • Here the procedure first select all the columns of the table/view and convert them into a single datatype next based on the id column we unpivot the data list of columns and their data into 3 columns. First is id, next is value which represents data,finally column names
  • When you select a matrix item and choose id as row, column name as column and value as Data and preview the report we get the expected result.Also we can remove the id by deleting columns only such that only table data exists.

Conditional statement in SSIS: same as ternary operator in C ** <condition>? <true>:<false> Eg: Gender=="M" ? "Male": "Female" Multicast Transformation : This t/r creates multiple copies of i/p data. it is useful because every time we need not to go to source. ** This will improve task performance. Aggregate Transformation : It is used to convert the detailed values into aggregated data by using Aggregate functions like sum,avg,max,min,count etc. ** It is Asynchronous transformation. Example: to the i/p data from source group by deptno and perform aggregate funcs. Conversion in SSIS ; * Conversion is very important because data from flat file, excel comes to transformations in the form of string(varchar) , so we cannot perform required operations so it require to convert data. 1) Directly at source level : ** Select flat file source, right click--> show advanced editor. ** Select i/p & o/p properties tab, ...

Lesson 67: Join two datasets in SSRS by using Lookup function

How to join two datasets in SSRS by using Lookup function First create two datasets each one with a different datasource. Next insert a table in the report body and insert the required columns from the dataset1. Next in order to insert the columns from 2nd dataset, you need to write a look up function where you need to give the matching columns from both the datasets and the required column from dataset and scope as 2 datset Here since we are inserting the columns of dataset1 first, we are writing exp with scope as dataset 2.
