Matrix won't collapse

I have a Matrix displaying my OLAP based dataset. The dataset looks correct
and the MAtrix displays properly with all rows and columns expanded.
I don't have the ability to collapse or expand any of the rows or columns.
No + - icon displays either.
I have tried changing settings for the initial display of columns as
collapsed and expanded.
Any ideas on the problem?
JimOK... I got it.
The visibility needs to be set on the groups.

Matrix Row Headers After Data

I have a report that uses Analysis Services data in a matrix. The column
groups in the matrix are based on date, and the number of column groups is
variable based on the start time and end time entered as report parameters.
I'd like to display the row headers after the column groups, regardless of
the number of column groups. The "GroupsBeforeRowHeaders" property looks
like it will work, but it only takes an integer - I would like to set it to
"All" or something similar.
Is there any way to do this without writing code that will calculate the
number of column groups and then using that in an expression for the
"GroupsBeforeRowHeaders" property? I'd like to avoid doing this because the
start and end times may be weeks, months, or years, so calculating the
number of columns would be a pain.
Thanks for any help,

groups, it doesn't appear to do anything - the headers stay to the left of
all of the column groups.

except that it reverses the order of all of the columns (which makes sense
considering what the property does). I can reverse the order of the columns
in the query result so that when the matrix reverses them again they display
correctly, but it would be nice to have a "clean" way of doing this. This
will definitely get me through the current report, though.

grouping of the matrix. The RS processing engine does not change any order
if there is no sorting applied in the report. You get the data in the order
returned by the data provider.

set the matrix to expand from right to left, this effectively changes the
order of the data. I can't sort in the matrix because the groups need to be
sorted correctly by date, by the column grouping is based on the date name
returned from Analysis Services (which doesn't always sort the same as the
actual date).
Either way, it turns out this doesn't help since when I export to Excel, the
row headers are still on the left of the data - it seems the excel export
ignores the "LayoutDirection" property of the matrix.
I guess I'll be stuck with calculating the number of column groups and
setting the "GroupsBeforeRowHeaders" property using an expression.

GroupsBeforeRowHeaders property is indeed an integer and you will need to
know how many instances you want to move before row headings.
The matrix LayoutDirection = RTL should help you to achieve what you want
and adding a sort expression in the report (the sorting will be done by our
processing component) should help you to sort them in the order you want.
Could you provide the report (created by CU) and a screenshot with the
desired result? You could send them to me at petery@.microsoft.com

>|||Hello Sean,
After consulting the proudct team, there are no plans to change
GroupsBeforeRowHeaders to be an expression.
One possible workaround is to add an outer column grouping with a
GroupExpression like "=1" (so you will have only on column), set its height
to zero and set GroupsBeforeRowHeaders to 1.
Hope this is helpful.
Thanks & Regards,

||||I guess the bigger problem for me right now is that the Excel export ignores
the "LayoutDirection" property of the matrix. Is it possible to get this
fixed as a bug?
My overall problem (which is displaying row headers to the right of the
columns) still exists. Does anyone have any ideas? The whole idea of the
matrix is to have a variable number of columns - if I knew how many columns I
had I could use a table instead.

>|||Hello Sean,
I'd like to know if you have try the workaround as I suggested on the
sample report you send to me.
Set outer column grouping with a GroupExpression like "=1"
1). Change the dataset query to: (remove the sorting function)
SELECT { Measures.[Unit Sales] } on columns,
NON EMPTY CROSSJOIN({ Store.[Store State].Members },
Time.[1997].[Q1].[1]:Time.[1997].[Q4].[12] ) on rows
from Sales
2). Right click the Matrix up-right corner->Properties
3). On Group tab, select a Column group, click Add to add a new column
group. Name it Columngroup2
4). On the General tab, type "=1" (without quotos) in Expression textbox
under "Group on"
5). Move it to the first one in the column group.
6). On General tab of Matrix property dialog, select "Left to right"
7). Select "1" under Groups before row headers.
8). Right click cell with "=1" in matrix->Properties->Advanced->Visibility,
select Hidden.
9). Preview the report, you shall see the proper sequece of rows and row
headers
10). Deploy and export the report to excel, the sequence is also correct.
Thus, we need not set LayoutDirection from "right to left". You can sort it
as you want in dataset query and it will properly shown in the report.
Because there is a hidden column group with only 1 column, you can always
set "Groups before row headers" to 1 no matter how many real column in the
secondary column group.
Hope this is helpful.

I'm sorry - when I first read your reply with the workaround, I misread
adding the hidden column group as adding a hidden row group and didn't see
how it would work. This workaround did work for me and my report now works
the way I need it to.

Matrix Reports Subtotals

Hi,
I have a two parter based on matrix reports
I am trying to develop a report which displays data for weekdays as columns
and Servers as rows. The range of the dates is selectable by the user so is
not fixed. We track start / end times for each server as it starts / ends
backups and the report is displayed somewhat similarly to below.
S M T W T F
S
SQL Server 09:00 15:00 18:00 19:00 19:00 21:00 22:00
11:45 19:45 18:05 etc
IIS Server 1 09:00 15:00 18:00 19:00 19:00 21:00 22:00
11:45 19:45 18:05 etc
The data looks something like this
ServerName varchar(100),
StartTime datetime,
EndTime datetime,
SuccessTF bit
Part 1
--
What i want to do is have subtotals that are for the number of records in
each column; so we can see successfull backups.
Part 2
--
The (first or final) column would be to determine the success of the backups
overall; i have this as a value against every row in sql server but only want
to display it once at the end.I think you want the CountRows function.
CountRows("Department")http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms156330.aspxOn
the second part, I think the First() function is what you are after.Steve

I agree, only a subtotal row puts a value out for every column and doesnt
seem to let me edit the contents of it. They are all greyed out and display a
strange calculation based on the dates / times in the columns above.

I am looking for the same type of answer and have a similar issue. When
at the subtotal level I want to do something different. In my example I have
several detail cells (they refer to as "static" or mutiple data fields
because they are all meant to be grouped by the same row/column constraints).
Anyway ... one of these fields is a flag that is either a 1 or 0 depending on
whether a field value (threshold) is one that matches a parameter value
entered to run the report. So in the subtotal I want to SUM all the values
and get a count of how many thresholds are tracking. I cant figure out how
to SUM this value when the detail cell expression is not a SUM it is an IIF
statement. In other words, like you , I want to do something different on
the subtotal but there isnt an option to alter the expression.

In the end I gave up and wrote some asp to write the report out to excel.
We looked and using a sub report to do the totaling but the sql became overly
complex (and getting things to line up was a total pain)

Matrix Report:Adding Average Column/Sorting based on last month/Conditional Formating

I have a matrix report with 2 column SaleAmount and ProfitAmounts by Month like

Sale Profit

Dealer 5/1/2007 6/1/2007 7/1/2007 5/1/2007 6/1/2007 7/1/2007

A 100 200 300 20 25 15

B 200 250 50 30 45 19

how can i do following 3 things

1)Add Total column for Sale and Average column for Profit

2)Sort report by lastMonth of Sale (here 7/1/2007) High to low

3)if last month of sale(here 7/1/2007) is less than second last month here (6/1/2007) whole row should be red

thanks

1) Since you want a total and an average, I would build this into your SQL statement. Buisness Intelligence Studio allows automatic summation, but you are asking for both.

In order for you to have a total and sale by month, you will most likely need to add a column in your table that is a Month Index. In other words, it is fairly difficult to get the average value of each month if you cannot uniquely identify the month.

2) Right click the column header for the month. Select properties then click the interactive sort tab. You want to check the "add an interactive sort to this textbox". Next, add the proper expression to sort by.

3) This may be a little tricky but to get you started: click the field which you want to change color. Click View -> properties window (if it isn't already open). In the color property, you want to put an expression.

Maybe something like this: =IIF(Fields!NextMonth.Value < Fields!PreviousMonth.Value,"Red", "Green")

Matrix report export to Excel

I created a report based on matrix.
I set the can grow property of all fields to false.
In the report the fields are behaving as expected - the size is fixed.
When I'm exporting to excel the fields are growing according to the text size.
(I have other report based on table and the can grow property controls the
fields alos when exporting to excel).
How can I control the can grow?
Thak'sHello,
It seems that you're running into a limitation in Excel. When there are
merged cells in a row, Excel cannot apply it's equivalent of CanGrow on the
row. You're likely running into merged cells due to the layout of your
report. If items in the report don't line up with each other vertically,
SRS are forced to span items across multiple cells in order to preserve
your layout.

Greetings,

I have a matrix that looks similar to the table above with two row groups and one column group. Does anyone know a way to manually do column and row based averaging without using the avg() function -as the data is not numerical?

Thanks

Hi,

Please try

1. converting the non numerical to numerical by using cdbl. and then use avg.

2. if it is not possible to use cdbl, then use sum in scope of that particular group and dicide by rownumber of that group.

say : sum(abcd,"Group1")/rownumber(group1)

|||

Hey, thanks for the reply. Not all fields are numeric in this case. I just need to avg. the numeric values. A quick test revealed that the report is generated left to right top to bottom. It seems that I will need to keep a tally of the total in code. The problem is that point where the variables should reset is not always the correct place. For example -

This only handles row based not column based havent even started that.

private iRowCount as Integer

private iRowSum as Double

public Function DisplayDataCell(Score as String, InRowGroup as Boolean, InColumnGroup as boolean, IsNumber as boolean)

dim Result as String

dim Avgerage as Double

Result=""

if (not IsNumber) then

Result=Score

else if (InRowGroup and InColumnGroup) then

iRowCount=iRowCount+1

iRowSum=iRowSum+CDbl(Score)

Result=Score

else if not(InRowGroup)then

Average=(iRowSum / iRowCount)

iRowSum=0

iRowCount=0

Result=CStr(Avegerage)

end if

Return Result

end function

The problem is the point where the values are being reset is not always working out for me. I know I am doing something wrong. When you say use rowcount and columncount where should I use these values to return the avg?

not InRowGroup and not InColumnGroup.

Thanks,
