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.
